"Heimdall, have you seen my son Thor?" Odin asked as he, Loki, Lady Sif, and the Warriors Three walked into the Bifrost Chamber.
"Ah yes, he's on Midgard in a city called New York. Once a month for the last year, he's been meeting with Ares, Apollo, Apollo's husband, and Fenrir's mortal grandson for drinks at a pub," Heimdall said reluctantly, "I've been watching to make sure he's okay; besides a few bar fights, which he obviously won, there have been no hostile overtures towards Thor."
"WHAT?!" Loki questioned, "Why didn't he bring me? I like drinking on Midgard. Midgardians are so fun in a fragile way."
"Why didn't he bring you? Why didn't he bring us?" Volgstagg said, pointing to himself and the other two from the Warriors Three.
"I'm happy he didn't include me. I swear if Ares grabs my ass one more time, I will kill the man!" Lady Sif growled.
Odin and Loki look at each other, "You mean, my dear, you haven't already killed him for such an offense?" Odin asked, looking at the warrior princess. "Perhaps we should talk to King Óðr and Queen Freyja about their daughter marrying Prince Ares instead of Prince Thor?" Odin said, turning to Loki, who looked like Christmas had come early with the smirk he was trying to hide.
"WHAT?!" Lady Sif yelled, "NO!"
"He even has a nickname for our dear Lady Sif," Fandral said with a smile, "Xena, Warrior Princess!"
"Oh well," Loki said, smirking at Lady Sif, who was attempting to murder Loki with her eyes, "It must be love."
Lady Sif screamed and pulled her sword, swinging it at Loki, who expertly danced out of the way. Odin, Heimdall, and the Warriors Three quickly got out of the way while Lady Sif did her damndest to murder Loki, who was just playing with Sif. Sif was a great warrior, just not better than Loki. Heimdall quickly moved between the dueling two and opened the Bifrost to let Thor, who the two new Valkyrie was holding up. Odin looked at his drunk older son. "Thor and the Olympians found the Wizarding section of New York and discovered that Wizard alcohol can actually make them drunk," Dordi replied.
"You got to try Firewhiskey!" Thor belched, and a flame came out of his mouth; both Lilja and Dordi moved their faces back so they didn't have to smell it. Sif had ignored Thor's arrival and was still trying to take Loki's head off, "When do you think, Siffy, will admit to being madly attracted to Loki and just fuck him?" Thor whispered as quietly as HE could.
"I AM NOT ATTRACTED TO LOKI!" Sif screeched, turning her sword towards Thor. The Valkyries dropped Thor and pulled both their swords and their wands in defense of Thor, who just sat down and continued drinking from a bottle of Firewhiskey he had brought to Asgard.
"Not attracted to Loki? How can you not be attracted to Loki? He's so handsome," Lilja said, winking at Loki, who looked like he had been punched in the gut.
HAHAHAHAHA! Thor laughed, "Yes, I forgot! Lilja totally wants to fuck you, brother!"
Lilja's face turned bright red, and she slapped Thor's arm with the back of her wand hand, turning his long blond-hair bright Pepto Bismol Pink. Loki turned to look at his father, who looked like he was enjoying Loki's embarrassed reaction.
"Yes, well, maybe some other time," Loki said, walking towards Thor, not looking at either Valkyrie helping him stand up. Thor draped his arm over Loki, giving Loki some of his weight. The Warriors Three rushed over to help Loki, and Lady Sif just stood there before screeching and throwing a tantrum.
"THOR!" Lady Sif yelled, and Thor looked over his shoulder at her, "apologize right now!" Lady Sif screeched, stamping her foot.
"For what?" Thor asked, and Loki snorted.
"I AM LEAVING! LEAVING THOR!" Lady Sif screamed.
"Okay! Enjoy visiting your parents," Thor boomed happily, not paying any attention to the tantrum Sif was throwing.
"THOR! I WILL NOT RETURN UNTIL YOU APOLOGIZE!" Lady Sif screamed and walked through onto the Rainbow bridge that Heimdall had opened to Vanir.
Odin stood and stared at the retreating group, Thor hanging off of Loki, who was struggling to hold his weight. Fandral was sort of holding onto Loki but was busy flirting with the two Valkyrie who had followed Thor, Loki, and the Warriors Three. "I can't remember what I was going to do when I found Thor," Odin said, turning to Heimdall, who just smirked and shrugged. Odin slowly followed his sons back to the palace.
Loki kept trying to slyly look behind him at the red-haired Valkyrie who was following them, but every time he did, she caught him looking and would wink. It was infuriating! Who the hell did she think she was winking at him? Women didn't flirt with him, they flirted with Thor, and he was always stuck with the seconds. She, as gorgeous as she was, wasn't flirting with Thor but with him. It made him very uncomfortable. Loki felt out of his depth, 'damn it; she is so checking out his ass!' Loki thought, 'I will not get an erection, I will not get an erection, damn it!'

Earlier that day
"My Lady, Thor of Asgard to see you," Gudbrand Nott said as he entered the throne room of Nott Castle outside of York, England, where his lady goddess and wife, Nótt, was entertaining some of her Jötunn relatives. Gudbrand smirked cruelly as he entered the room and stood at the bottom of the raised throne his Lady was sitting on, their son, Theodore, sitting in her lap.
Thor entered the room and stopped seeing several Jötunn in the room just staring at him. He expected Lady Nótt to be a Jötunn but not her entertaining.
"Hello, grandson," the black-skinned, blond-haired, blue-eyed woman sitting on the throne said.
"Ah…ah, hello," Thor stumbled.
"Grandson?" Another black-skinned Jötunn asked, looking at the female and then at Thor.
"Yes, father, this is Thor, son of Jörð," Lady Nótt replied.
"Ah, Lord Nörfi," Thor bowed to his great-grandfather, God of Endless Darkness, the Abyss.
"Thor, this is Queen Laufey and her consort Fárbauti," Lady Nótt introduced the other two blue-skinned giants, "and this is your uncle, Theodore."
Thor stared at Laufey, "I thought it was supposed to be King Laufey?" Thor questioned.
"All Jötunn are hermaphrodites; I gave birth to my heir, so I changed my title from King to Queen. How is my heir, by the way?" Laufey asked snidely.
"I would not know that?" Thor boomed, confused.
"Hello!" Fenrir walked into the room, slapping Thor on his shoulder, "uncle Thor! Granny Laufey! Popps!" Fenrir walked past Thor, kissed Laufey's hand, and shook Fárbauti's hand, "Lady Nótt, Theo, Gudbrand."
"Wolf! Who invited you in?" Gudbrand Nott snarled.
"I came with uncle Thor," Fenrir pointed to Thor, who only raised his eyebrow in confusion.
"How are you, grandson?" Laufey asked.
"I am good, Granny!" Fenrir smiled, "Oh! The last time you came to Midgard, Lyall was a tiny boy-he's dead now-but his son, I couldn't be more proud of him. Uncle Thor, is Remus at Camp Half-Blood?"
"Yes, he is…." But, Thor said hesitantly, "the Olympians will not appreciate it if we bring a bunch of Jötunn into their camp with all their demigod children."
"Are you not here to invite Theodore to join my brother Harald at Camp Half-Blood?"
"Oh, did Angrboða have a new child?" Fárbauti asked.
"No, Popps, Odin killed mother, so she couldn't give Loki any more monsters," Fenrir growled.
"Prince Harald of Asgard is Loki's child," Thor boomed, "I'm still a little lost on how I would know your heir and why my nephew calls you Granny and Popps."
"Your father is such an asshole," Lady Nótt cut in, "you see, he is like his father, a rapist, a kidnapper, a slaver."
"Well, I knew he was a liar, a manipulator, and an adulterer…what…." Thor said but stopped, not knowing how to ask.
"Your grandmother, Bestla, was a Jötunn that your grandfather an Aesir kidnapped and raped and held hostage. Your mother, Jörð, willingly married Odin, thinking he was different as their mothers typically raised children. She thought Bestla had raised Odin. But, unfortunately, he had not been; he was just as monstrous as his father, Borr," Lady Nótt said before she stopped and looked away.
"He was very abusive to her, even when she was pregnant with you. Then, once you were born, she begged us to save her and her twins," Nörfi continued in place of his distraught daughter, "we broke into Asgard and were able to rescue your twin brother, Meili, but Volgstagg killed the man who had you, and he took you back to the palace. Furthermore, we never even got close to rescuing your mother."
"I have a twin brother?" Thor asked, "is he?" Thor stopped and bit his lip.
"Is he what, uncle Thor?" Fenrir asked but suspected what Thor didn't want to ask, "is he deaf like you?"
"DEAF?" Lady Nótt asked loudly, "since when? He wasn't born deaf."
"He wasn't?" Fenrir said at the same time Thor said, "I wasn't?"
"How is it you can hear us if you are deaf?" Laufey asked.
"I can hear if you speak loud enough, and I read lips," Thor replied, looking at the Frost Giant, "what happened to my mother?"
"We don't know; she went missing after the failed rescue attempt. We think Odin either killed her or hid her here on Midgard," Laufey replied.
"Why would he hide her?" Thor asked.
"To control you," Laufey responds, turning to look at Thor as she spoke, "as you said, Odin is a manipulator; he keeps her alive, he controls you, you rebel, he threatens to kill her. Jörð is only the first that he threatens; he controls."
"During the Aesir-Vanir war, he kidnapped your stepmother Frigga, your older sister, and forced her to marry him," Lady Nótt replied.
"Sister? Frigga is my sister?" Thor asked.
"Yes, Frigga is the daughter to Queen Freyja and Fjörgynn, which is the name Jörð goes by in her masculine form," Lady Nótt said, "by taking her, Odin holds the Vanir hostage, your pending marriage to Lady Sif, is also a way to hold the Vanir hostage. Odin can use the two ladies as a way to control you."
"I am not marrying Lady Sif," Thor huffed, and Fenrir laughed.
"That's not what she said," Fenrir snorted, and Thor smacked him on the back of the head.
"Loki is not your brother," Laufey said sadly.
"He is not the son of Odin and Frigga," Fárbauti replied, grabbing Laufey's hand.
"Loki is our son," Laufey said, "Odin kidnapped him from Jötunheimr as a way to control us."
Thor stared at the two Jötunn, "Loki is my brother. He will always be my brother."
"We are okay with that," Fárbauti replied.
"Why did you come for Theodore, grandson?" Lady Nótt asked.
"Ah yes…," Thor boomed, then cleared his throat, "Harald is living with the Olympians; during the summer, he attends what is called Camp Half-Blood, a haven for the Olympic demigods where they train with weapons, play games, swims, and generally have fun with children who are just like them. I came to invite Theodore. My daughter Luna will also be attending."
"Daughter?" Lady Nótt asked excitedly, and Fenrir turned to look at his uncle; he had been unaware of Thor's daughter.
"Please," Thor begged, "do not let Odin find out I have a child."
"She will be safe, uncle Thor," Fenrir said, "I promise."
"Well, then. Theodore, would you like to meet some other demigods?"
"Yes, please," Theo said, looking up at his mother for permission.
~LGCHB~
"Thor! What do you think you are doing?" Zeus yelled as he, Ares, Apollo, Sirius, Remus, and a squadron of Olympic guards portaled into Camp Half-Blood, ready to defend their children. But instead, what they saw was Harald playing tag with two new children. Children who were not Olympians and Thor and Fenrir were standing with four Jötunn and two mortals watching.
Zeus sighed and waved his squadron to head back to Olympus, "Thor? Fenrir?"
"King Zeus! My friends! Come see my daughter," Thor said, pointing to the little girl who was putting a crown of daisies on the heads of two disgruntled seven-year-old boys. Harald had tried to pull it off his head but had his hand slapped by the little girl.
Hera portaled in, running, and grabbed Harald checking him over before looking at the other two children she didn't know. A little blonde girl handed Hera a crown of daisies mixed with sunflowers. Hera put it on her head with a smile. Harald took her hand and pulled her over to where the adults were standing, "Ya-ya! This is my Granny Laufey and Pappa Fárbauti; they are my daddy Loki's bio…biologic parents.
"Biological," Remus corrected.
"Queen Hera," Laufey said with a nod.
"Queen Laufey," Hera said nervously as she clasped Harald to her.
"You are doing a fine job of raising our grandson. He looks happy, healthy, and whole," Fárbauti said.
"Thank you," Hera whispered.
"Will you be taking him?" Zeus asked, and his sons all tensed, looking at the Frost Giants.
Laufey and Fárbauti looked at each other, "No, it is too dangerous. Odin controls us by keeping Loki hostage. If we were to take Harald, Odin would certainly invade Jötunheimr," Laufey said sadly as she touched Harald's face; it turned blue briefly, and his green eyes turned red.
"We would like to see him occasionally," Fárbauti added, looking at Zeus.
"That can be arranged, but in Olympus, not Camp Half-Blood," Zeus said, looking around at the demigods who were watching all the Gods meet. Sad eyes were watching, knowing they were not allowed to approach all the Gods.
"So, Harald, who are your new friends?" Hera asked.
"This is my cousin, Luna Thora Lovegood; she is uncle Thor's daughter. This is Theodore Nott; he's Lady Nótt's son; they are going to Hogwarts too! Theo will be in my year!"
"Lady Nótt, can Theo attend Camp Half-Blood with me every day and stay the night on Saturdays and Sundays as I do?" Harry asked the Goddess of Night.
"Let me think about it, and I will let you and Theodore know on Monday," Lady Nótt replied, "why don't you three head back out and play some more."
~LGCHB~
Sandraudiga stood in the forest and watched as Thor became a traitor. Oh, Odin would reward her for this knowledge. Hearing a stick snap behind her, she put her hand on the pommel of her sword and turned around. Hel stood right behind her and put her hands on Sandraudiga's temples. Sandraudiga passed out and dropped. Lilja and Dordi stepped out of the trees.
"That BITCH!" Lilja yelled, then kicked an unconscious Sandraudiga in the ribs.
"Calm yourself, Lilja," Hel said as she knelt by Sandraudiga, her hand on Sandraudiga's forehead, reading the secrets hidden there.
Ares had heard Lilja yell and wandered over, the other Olympians and their guest watching him. "Whatcha doing, sexy lady?"
"I am reading Sandraudiga," Hel told Ares nonchalantly, "I do this every six months. She is a spy for Odin, I watch her closely, and memory charm her whenever she learns something she should not share."
"You will keep her from sharing Luna and Theodore's existence?" Laufey asked as she stepped into the woods, followed by Thor and Lady Nótt.
"Yes, grandmother," Hel replied, "by the way, grandmother, have you met Lilja? Loki's wife, Harald's mother?"
Lilja stands tall, "It is an honor to meet you, Queen Laufey."
"Ares, what is going on?" Sirius said as he stepped into the woods, "LILY!" Sirius screamed and jumped over the downed Valkyrie and hugged the redhead crying.
"Sirius," Dordi said from behind him.
"Mum?" Sirius said as he pulled away from Lily and grabbed Dorea in a hug.
"I better stop everyone else from coming over," Ares said as he walked away, back towards the group.
"What is going on?" Laufey asked Hel.
"In 1959, Loki helped me and my husband have a child. He turned himself into a Midgardian mortal and…using sex magic…became my baby, James. I gave birth to him. Sirius is my grand-nephew, my brother's grandson. He and James were best friends; Sirius came to live with my husband and me as a teenager. My husband and I died from weaponized Dragon Pox. Lily, James's wife, was murdered by a madman," Dorea said as she hugged the balling Sirius to her.
"Hel came to us and offered us resurrection; we could live again if we became Valkyrie for 100 years," Lily finished the tale, "Loki currently doesn't remember us," Lily smirked.
"Oh, no, I know that look," Sirius laughed, wiping his tears.
"Lily is having fun teasing Loki; he currently hates her," Dorea laughed.
"Oh, he is so fun to tease!" Lily laughed, and Laufey smirked at her daughter-in-law.
"I see; Harald has your eyes," Laufey said, looking at Lily.
"Yeah, he does, and my da's eyes," Lily said as she looked past Laufey to watch Harald playing with the son of a Death Eater and a Goddess.
"Heimdall just informed me that Odin is looking for me!" Thor boomed as he stiffened up for a moment with his eyes closed.
"Calm down," Sirius said as he pulled a bottle of whiskey out of an expandable pouch at his waist. Sirius opened the bottle and started to splash Thor with the alcohol.
Lily laughed, "Thor, let Heimdall know that he is to tell Odin you are drinking with Ares, Apollo, Sirius, and Remus."
Dorea smiled, catching on, "Lilja and I will return with you, and you will act drunk," Dorea took the whiskey from Sirius and handed it to Thor, "take a drink or two, be careful it's strong."
~LGCHB~
"Sandraudiga," Odin said as he walked along the Rhein River, and the Valkyrie joined him for his walk, "anything new to report?"
"No, my Lord, the boy continues to live with the Olympians, Hera, and Zeus, who dote on the boy. The boy attends Camp Half-Blood during the summers; Monday through Thursday, he goes home to Olympus for dinner; Friday and Saturday, he spends the night at the camp. Then, he goes home on Sunday after breakfast to spend the day with Zeus and Hera." Sandraudiga informed Odin. After Hödr died, Odin stopped being her lover. It was like he was only paying attention to her because she was his son's wife. She missed Odin's attention; no, she missed her husband. She should never have become Odin's mistress.
"WHAT?! Since when has he been staying the night?" Odin growled, mad that Sandraudiga had not thought to let him know. Odin backhanded the Valkyrie, who was supposed to be his spy. HIS!
"Ah, for a year, my Lord," Sandraudiga said, cringing, she could have sworn she had told him, "since he was seven."
"On Friday, after you drop him off, you will come to meet me in the mountains of Norway, where you will transport a troll into that bloody camp to kill the boy once in for all!" Odin yelled at Sandraudiga, spittle flying everywhere.
Sandraudiga dropped to her knees, "My Lord, they will know I did it."
"Can you still not give me the location of the camp?" Odin asked, eyes flashing with irritation.
"No, my Lord, I can maybe transport you to the location, then you could bring the troll on Friday," Sandraudiga whispered, looking around to see if anyone was paying attention to them. Not that the mortals could see or hear them, it was immortals she was worried about seeing her.
"Let's try that," Odin said as he yanked Sandraudiga to him, "right fucking now!"
Sandraudiga took a deep breath, then moved her arm in a circle and thought of where she wanted to go. She opened a portal in front of her and stepped through with Odin holding tightly onto her arm. They stepped into the clearing in front of the entrance to Camp Half-Blood, the clearing where Remus had fought the minotaur.
Remus was currently in the clearing, as he had just helped to bring the campers who had gone to New York City to sell Strawberries home to the camp. Sensing a portal opening Remus stepped behind a tree, not wanting to be seen by whoever was coming out of the portal. Most of the time, it was just Lady Nótt dropping off Theo and Luna; sometimes, Thor was visiting Harry or a God or Goddess trying to sneak a peek at their child. Sometimes it was Artemis and her hunters, and they hated Remus for some reason. So it was just better to stay out of their sight.
Remus watched as Sandra stepped out of the portal with Odin tightly holding onto her arm. Tight enough to bruise. Remus couldn't hear what they were saying, but Sandra pointed out the entrance to the camp before Odin gave her a shake and turned around and left. Sandra quickly entered the camp to look for her charge. Remus was concerned about how rough Odin had been with his favorite Valkyrie, but at the same time, she should not have brought Odin to the camp. Remus followed Sandra with his eyes. He would have to keep a closer eye on her, not her ass, but she was definitely up to something.
~LGCHB~
Odin walked through the Palace in Asgard whistling a jaunty little tune; today was the day, 'Friday,' Odin thought. Today was the day the Little Monster would die. Thor, Loki, and Frigga all looked at each other as they watched Odin pass them. They had been standing in a dark alcove, trying not to be seen by anyone as they spoke of Odin and his growing fury and paranoia. "Should I follow him, mother?" Loki whispered.
"No, better not. If seen, caught, his anger would be great, and I fear what he would do to you," Frigga whispers as she cups Loki's face with her hand.
"We need to stay the course!" Thor said, using sign language to communicate to Frigga and Loki so he wouldn't be heard. "He has begun talking of Odin-sleep, of me taking the throne."
"That's years away still, brother," Loki signed back to Thor impatiently.
"Patience, my sons," Frigga signed, "we must be patient."
~LGCHB~
"Heimdall, who is on Midgard right now?" Odin asked; it wouldn't behoove him to be caught by Thor out drinking with the Olympians.
"Only the normal ones," Heimdall replied, thinking of Loki's children and Sandraudiga.
"Good, good, do not let anyone follow me down; the Rainbow Bridge is closed until I return," Odin said, "send me to Trollstigen Mountain Pass in Norway, as close to a troll as you can find."
"Yes, my lord," Heimdall replied.
Odin arrived at the top of the mountain; below him, he could see the valley and the mess the mortals had made when they built the winding road that cuts through the valley and made its way up the mountain. Dotted throughout the landscape below him, he could see observation points where mortals stopped to view the valley like himself. He could also pick out the Seidr and Seidrmenn. They were observing not the valley but the trolls and making sure none of the mortals spotted the trolls and keeping the trolls from detecting the mortals. Speaking of trolls, one was wandering up to him now, one of the enormous variety of trolls dragging a broken aspen tree to use as a club. "Perfect, you big fellow are coming with me, where you will kill the dark-haired, green-eyed demigod, son of Loki," Odin said as he created a portal between the twelve-foot mountain troll and himself. The troll stepped closer to attack Odin. Then it walked through the portal into a barrier that kept the monsters like the troll out. Seeing this, Odin huffed and created a second portal ten feet behind the troll; he stepped out into the clearing. Odin held his right arm out straight, his hand held in a claw-like manner; Odin tore a hole in the wards surrounding Camp Half-Blood; with his left hand, he magically gave the troll a shove, so it stumbled through the tear into the camp. Now trapped with the campers, he sent the troll a series of sharp stings, angering the troll.
Odin really wanted to watch the troll tear through the camp, but knowing the Olympians would declare war if he was caught, including Hel and Fenrir, he did not want to be the cause of Ragnarök, so close to the time of Odin's sleep. So he opened a portal back to Norway before calling Heimdall.
~LGCHB~
Harry and Theo raced each other through the woods, not really playing any game but just enjoying being together and running quietly as the eight-year-old boys could. Little Luna was slowly following the boys and would eventually catch up to them. Especially since the boys would suddenly stop to have a quick sword fight around a log, rock outcrop, or stream. Still, in the meantime, she gathered whatever wildflower she could find and spoke with whatever magical creature she could see on her way to meet the boys wherever they eventually stopped. At first, the boys had tried to leave her and hide from her, but it didn't matter if they were invisible, intangible, or silent. SHE ALWAYS FOUND THEM! Harry and Theo had complained to Lady Nótt, but she had just laughed and told them it was because Luna was connected to the Earth; she was the granddaughter of Lady Jörð, after all. Therefore, Thor most likely could also find them any time, anywhere on Earth. Harry swore never to play Hide-and-Seek with Thor; Luna had ruined his winning streak!
Sandra was also in the woods, but Harry was mad at her and trying to avoid her; she had snitched on him to Ya-ya earlier in the week about not being nice to Luna. Of course, he was nice to Luna! She was his favorite cousin! However, Luna didn't really need to decorate the pommel of his favorite sword with a waterfall of flowers, really! It was a damn sword! Uncle Ares agreed, but Ya-ya was unhappy that Harry had yelled at Luna and pushed her over. Luna wasn't even hurt! She giggled!
Sandraudiga was nervous; she had felt it when Odin ripped a hole in the wards and shoved the troll into the camp. She wasn't worried about the other monsters, but for some reason, she was concerned about the troll and the damage it could do. There was no reasoning with it to attack just the little monster, it would attack any of the half-bloods, and with Lady Nótt sending her two here if one of them was hurt and the Goddess of Darkness found out she was involved; Odin would not be able to save her. Like Death, Darkness was everywhere.
Remus had told Chiron of his suspicions about Sandra. Chiron agreed, but without proof, there wasn't much he could do without hearing what Odin and Sandra had talked about; Remus lifted his head, "did you feel that?"
"Yes, someone just let a monster in," Chiron said as he tossed his ice tea glass down and galloped off towards the woods in which the monster was wandering.
"Fuck!" Remus said before he stripped and shifted to his werewolf form, following Chiron.
'I can't believe it,' Sandraudiga thought; the fucking troll found the three children and was attacking the two boys who were trying to fight it off. Skogkatt, who was huge and still growing, was about the size of a Saint Bernard, had come running and dashing under Luna's legs, and ran off with Luna holding tightly. Although Luna, like Theodore and Harry, was learning how to use weapons, she didn't generally carry one on her and was likelier to try to talk to a monster and give it a flower than fight with it. Luna was just naturally passive; Hades insisted his wife Persephone was that way, but Sandraudiga saw some fight in the eyes of the Queen of the Underworld the one time she met her.
Sandraudiga watched as the little monster kept conjuring different metal weapons for himself and Theodore as they attempted to keep the troll from killing them, only to abandon the weapon when it didn't work. Finally, Harald blasted the troll away from himself using magic. He bent over, panting as the troll smashed into a tree close to the invisible Sandraudiga. However, just because she was invisible didn't mean the troll couldn't smell her. It got up and reached for her; Sandraudiga jumped out of the way and became visible as she tried to lure the troll back towards the little monster and away from the son of Nótt. However, the troll had decided she was the better prize and was now ignoring the two boys. Pulling her sword, she swung it at the troll and cut the arm off that held the broken club. The troll looked at its arm, then looked at Sandraudiga and roared at her, spittle flying everywhere. It bent down and picked up the club with its opposite hand, the severed arm holding tightly to the branch, and tried smashing Sandraudiga with the broken aspen. The troll began to have the upper hand and pinned her against a group of trees growing closely together. There was no way this troll would kill the little monster when it was focusing on her, and she had started to see some of the older campers popping up within the trees watching; it was only a matter of time before Chiron and Remus arrived. Sandraudiga would have to go against Odin's wishes and kill the beast before it killed her. Sandraudiga flipped onto her hands, then flipped up, kicking the troll with both feet into its chest, pushing the troll back in the center of the small clearing the boys had been playing in; before finally beheading the troll.
Clarisse, one of Ares daughter's who had seen the troll be pushed into the camp and followed it, snuck over to Chiron and whispered what she had seen of the battle to Chiron before slipping out of sight. She hated that Asgardian bitch, and she had seen her trying to lure it towards Harald. But, of course, she hated Harald too, the little Godling who called her father uncle, who got to spend so much time with him. It wasn't fair, but she knew it wasn't fair that the God Odin sent so many monsters after the little Godling. He wasn't even a demigod; he should have been safe from the monsters.
Skogkatt came wandering back with Luna on her back and knocked Harry down as she proceeded to check her human, grooming him. "Yugh, Skog, stop it my hair is a mess as is; you don't need to help it be messer!" Harry complained as he tried to push his hair down to look tidy like Theo's.
"What is going on here?!" Lady Nótt yelled as she emerged from the darkness created by the shadows of the trees. Seeing the beheaded troll, she gasped, then grabbed Theodore, checking him over for injury before checking Luna and Harald.
"The camp is not as safe as the Olympians claim it is, as this is the second time in recent history that a monster has been able to get through," Sandraudiga said out loud as she cleaned her sword before putting it away.
"That's not true," Remus said, panting as he returned from rushing back towards the big house where his clothing was after the fight was over, "this is the second time a monster has been let in. It didn't get in on its own."
Lady Nótt waved her hand over the troll, and it disappeared, but a dark purple light appeared and floated the exact path the troll had taken to get there. Lady Nótt took Theo's and Luna's hands before following the lights. She found the tear that had healed itself and was investigating it when Remus, Harald, Chiron, and Sandraudiga caught up to her. Stepping out of the camp, holding onto Luna and Theo's hands saw the purple magic disappearing. Lady Nótt waved her hand to perceive a portal and opened it wide. Everyone could see a mountainous terrane with the symbol of Asgard carved into the rocks, a symbol that was imprinted by the Rainbow Bridge opening up in that location.
"Chiron, please let Olympus know that I will deal with Odin; he will NOT be tearing any more holes in the wards surrounding the camp. However, I suggest removing the wards and replacing them with new ones before that hole unravels; maybe add a warning if Odin comes near the wards again," Lady Nótt said before waving her hand at Luna. Suddenly she was dressed in a light lilac-purple Asgardian dress with bronze armor covering her chest and a purple crown of flowers in her hair. Lady Nótt waved her hand at Theodore next. He was dressed in a dark purple outfit of Asgardian design with silver armor covering his chest; he too had a crown on his head, but it was made of dark shadows.
Lady Nótt closed the portal to Trollstigen Mountain Pass in Norway. Instead, she opened one directly to the throne room in Asgard, where she tossed the dead, headless troll at Odin's feet.
AN: Oh! Did you know that Nótt, her father, and her daughter really are described as having dark skin? I know the Vikings reached Africa, but I never realized that they had adopted the color and given it to their gods. So this means Thor is a person of color! Wow, just wow. The Vikings, of all people, were trying to include every one of the world as they knew it in their stories, histories, and religion.
This is the last of my prewritten pieces, I have at least nine pages of Chapter 13 completed, and even though I am almost done with it, it will take some time to edit. "Banner! Chill out, dude! You'll get your five minutes!"
