Prologue
The screams of a woman giving birth can be heard through the halls of Asgard. The mother's name is Sif, and her husband Thor is gripping her arm.
"Deep breaths love, deep breaths." Thor says in an effort to soothe his wife. Sif screams again.
"Peace, my lady, one more push." Sif screams in exertion, and the newborn prince of Asgard is born. The midwife hands the baby to the exhausted Sif. The child has a tuft of black hair and when he opens his eyes, they are a vibrant electric blue.
"He's beautiful my love. What shall we name him?"
Thor takes his son and looks at him lovingly. "We shall name him Perseus, love. I will take him to the All Father tomorrow. For tonight, we rest." Thor say.
Thor lays in the bed beside Sif, and they place their son in between them. The next day Thor is in the throne room of Odin All Father, and he kneels as he reaches the throne of his father.
"Father, I have come to present my son Perseus to you." He says.
Odin laughs loudly. "My son, there's no reason to bow to your father. Let me see my grandson." Thor hands him Perseus. Odin holds him up to eye level.
"He will have an important role in Ragnarok, but for some reason, I can't see what side he'll be on."
Thor looks determined. "I will train him to be the best warrior the nine worlds will ever see." Odin hands the boy back to his father"
"I'm sure you will, son. I'm sure you will." Odin says thoughtfully.
Thor takes his son and takes him to his crib placing the babe inside.
"Sweet dreams, my son. You will be an even mightier warrior than me." Thor says lovingly to his son.
In the fire world of Muspelheim, the great fire giant Surtr stands silently looking out into the universe. In his peripheral vision he spots a emerald green flash, announcing the arrival of the trickster god Loki. Loki approaches the ancient fire giant.
"Surtr, I have a proposal for you." Loki states. The ancient giant glances at him. Loki takes it as a sign to continue.
"I come with the promise of Asgard's destruction, so long as you join me and the jotuns in our purpose." Surtr turns to the trickster god.
Surtr speaks for the first time since his creation. "Why should I believe you, trickster? Are you not Asgardian yourself?" The fire giant asks in a deep gravely voice. Loki backs up a little.
"Now, now, no need to be hasty, I am no Asgardian, for my true blood is that of a jotun's. I will destroy Asgard for feeding me false hope and lies, I am no son of Odin, I am the son of Laufey!" Loki exclaims.
Surtr roars, "It is my blade of fire that is meant to plunge Asgard into fire on Ragnarok! That is what the Norns deem! I will not be commanded by an arrogant fool with daddy issues! I will join you Loki, only to plunge my blade into the heart of Asgard." Surtr takes a breath. Loki smiles evily. Everything is going according to plan.
The following day, Heimdall, the immortal guardian of Asgard sees a massive army marching to Asgard. He blows jalahorn to warn the nine realms of an up coming battle. Asgard rallies there defences, and charges the army, but Odin pales, he saw Surtr with them. "Asgardians! Today may be the end of times! Fight, for Asgard!" And with that, he charges the army, with Laufey at the head. A massive fight ensues. Odin fights Laufey, but Thor knew they were being overrun. He brings out Mijolnir and whispers an ancient spell, making Mijolnir explode, sending the pieces scattering through the nine realms. He runs to his son with Sif. They reach him and have a hushed conversation.
"We must send him to midgard. Fate demands it." Thor states. Sif starts to cry.
"Ok, love, I just want to hold our little Perseus one last time." She says picking him up and holding him, and she kisses his forehead. Thor puts a pendent in the shape of Mijolnir. He whispers goodbye to Perseus before using the pendants power to transport him to midgard. Perseus ends up infront of a mortal woman named Sally Jackson's door. Perseus starts crying and Sally opens the door and sees the infant, and picks him up and takes him inside.
"You are a little cutie aren't you little one. I'm going to take care of you, don't you worry." Sally says as she lays the boy down on a bed until she can get a crib.
