Princess of Death
Chapter 29
Dark Elf raid/heartbreak
Asgard
Personal quarters of Haralda
Enjoying a lounge on her balcony as she had for the past few hours she suddenly felt a warning coming from the item around her neck someone was coming and they possessed a very dangerous item.
Into her chambers came her grandfather uncles and Jane Foster? "Well, this is an Interesting development a Mortal in Asgard why" that's when she felt it the raw power coming from her, not just any power though that was the Aether or as it was more widely known as the Reality Stone.
"How in the name of Helheim did you get that inside you, Dr Foster, more importantly, how are you still alive." Jane was slightly shocked at the question wondering how Thor's Niece knew she had some sort of virus inside her.
"Niece Fathers books have no information on how to remove it from her," Thor asked her only to see Haralda roll her eyes and sit down. "If the books in the Allfathers Library have no answer what makes you think I do"
Thor didn't like this swift change in attitude from his nice and it seems Loki realised this and quickly cut him off, "Haralda, as a Goddess of Death you have access to lost knowledge and the Library's in your Mothers Palace, are rumoured to be amazing."
"Haralda stood from her chair looking at the 3 Gods and dead mortal walking, I will send word to mother but I warn you the chances of removing the Aether from you and you surviving is unlikely."
Turning to look at her Grandfather after sensing his gaze on her he didn't say anything but just nodded and walked off to do whatever he did when he wasn't ruling.
"Thor would you leave your mate with me for a few minutes there is something I'd like to try but it will only work if we are alone."
Thor was going to refuse but seeing Jane nod at him he reluctantly left closing the door behind him leaving the Midgardian Scientist with the Asgardian Goddess, telling Jane to sit she made her swear not to repeat to anyone what Haralda would do.
Removing the Neckless she wore around her neck since she Fleur asked to return it to her, she used its powers to settle the Aether it wouldn't stop or outright solve the problem, Jane, while possessing a strong will was still just a mortal and the chance of her perishing was too grand.
However, that didn't matter at this point she had bought Jane a valuable time that she may not have had her mother would hopefully have more insight into safely removing the Aether without killing Jane.
The Bifrost 4 hours later
The prison was facing a breakout distracting Heimdall that he didn't sense the Ships until it was too late, he managed to destroy one of them but the rest attacked Asgard Haralda joined her Grandfather in the streets to battle the invaders while Frigga would take Jane to her Chambers.
It didn't take long for both Haralda and Odin to realise they were Dark elves, thankfully seeing a green portal open and a squad of Draugr charge out with Hela close behind, "Haralda" a very familiar voice whispered from behind her near a crater near the palace despite the Shield just closing around the District.
It was Verdandi, the Norn of the Present that's when it hit her it wasn't her that would suffer it would be her Grandmother. She didn't realise or hear her Grandfather yelling at her it would be until the shield went down and his granddaughter run towards the palace he would turn to see the Norn Vanish as did Hela and James.
The 3 of them would run for the palace stopping in the throne room to see the throne destroyed and many Einherjar and Dark Elves dead on the ground rushing towards Frigga in her chambers they would not make it in time.
Frigga was disarmed and ready to die killed by these Dark elf scum only to feel the giant abomination lose its grip as he went flying into a pillar. "Get your hands off her Scum." Came the venomous snarl from the Princess of Helheim.
Malekith was surprised to see a Death Goddess here oh yes he could tell Death was a domain she had sway over and he was ready to try and get her to hand other the Aether only to quickly dive out of the way of her Battle-staff.
Grabbing his blade he began to fight back admittedly finding the Young Princess to be quite a challenge, meanwhile, the abomination known as a Kursed had got back to its feet and went to help its master only to be blocked by Frigga who was once again back in the Frey.
By all accounts, it was certain the two Asgardians would win this day as they fought onto the balcony, and they may have until once again the voice whispered to the young Princess. "You cannot win this Haralda, you cannot escape Fate."
"No, Haralda whispered " but I can cheat it"
She saw her Grandmothers blade knocked out of her hand by the Abomination ready to kill her she didn't see Haralda smile at Malekith. "Death is only the beginning Creature Blasting him into a wall she moved towards her Grandmother.
Frigga could only watch in horror as the Kursed blade found its mark in the chest of her Granddaughter, hearing a scream of No and a bolt of lightning strike both the Abomination and Its master both of which fled she turned to her granddaughter only to see her body fall from the balcony to the ground below.
Odin dropped his spear in shock while Hela and James rushed downstairs towards the balcony with Loki and Thor following. "Come Husband we must get down there." Frigga yelled as she ran past him.
Odin made to move only to stop seeing the 3 Norns. Before he could do his one great desire and cut them down they spoke in unison what they said was terrifying.
When the Heir of Death And Thunder, breaks the path Pre-Made the cost must be paid no matter who pays the cost fate must be paid, but when Death and Thunder is reborn in Fire no longer a puppet of fate and a separate path for her is made.
Crater Asgard
Haralda lay there broken her lifeblood leaking into the Earth beneath her the last thing she thought of was simple her family were safe and the fates were satisfied. As her eyes closed she would soon stop breathing.
Beneath the earth however her blood seeped down specifically to the exact same spot that the pulse of the flame and heart hand made contact doing soo made a connection that would change the very fate of Asgard and the Nine Realms, with that her heart which had just pumped its last beat it started to beat again as her family watched in shock as she gasped for breath.
Authors Note: hey people Happy new year,
So yes Haralda officially died albeit for a few seconds that is all it would take how has she changed and will she wake up before the battle of Greenwich.
