Thank you to everyone who has left a review!
Thank you "nura1995" for your review: Hades IS Hela. Hela is Hades. MALE Hela is Hades.
Thank you "Daisuke SSJ" for your review as well: Glad you thought it was a good chapter.
Thank you "merendinoemiliano" for your review as well: Hades is far older. Hela was Over Powered in Thor 3 so Hades will also be. I have not watched Endgame yet... But Thor will be MORE powerful than he was in the movies in the story (later, much, much later).
Thank you "lange912" for your review as well: Well here is more!
Thank you "Guest" for your review as well: Well here is the chapter it is only about a third of what I wanted, but Writer's Block is a pain.
Thank you "Gorr" for your review as well: All-Black Necrosword? That is something I could use! But yes that was the idea, but having a secret empire? Not so much, but who knows. I like that idea now that I am thinking about out.
Thank you "Dzerx" for your review as well; Glad you that it was awesome, I hope this chapter is as good as the last one.
Thank you "FernandoPereira" for your review as well; I forgot about them... should I add in the Valkiries now?

I sighed as I actually walked to the Palace, I would rather be anywhere in the universe than be near my father Odin, but I knew my Mother Freya wanted to see me and I pushed my luck too far once in the past... and let's say I am never, ever doing that again.
I closed my eyes briefly remembering the last time I was here, Thor got the hammer... if I recall he renamed it to Mjolnir. I did not care too much, but it was important to me that he did. I wanted to protect him, but I was afraid of influencing him too much and changing everything I knew that might happen.
I told the just last century I forfeit my birthright of the throne, I did not want it.
Odin was beyond anger and rage... it took Freya to calm him down, but since then he and I can scarcely be in the same room alone lest there be a war. He was more powerful than I, but I knew to wait till he was in his Odin-Sleep where he was pretty much in a coma and defenseless if I wanted to kill him. But I did not want to, I saw how he was changing with Thor and Loki.
I wanted to be there for Loki since he was already in the shadows if it was not for Freya he would have been alone. I shook my head and sighed as these thoughts coursed through my veins.
My blood was cold as ice as I muttered "I hope this goes better, a lot better than it did last time..."
A few moments later I had walked to the entrance, there seemed to be no one around... that made me even more cautious.
I Shadow Stepped turning to smoke and dust and reappeared in my room's closet as I came out I had a gut feeling something was amiss...
As I wondered throughout the Palace there seemed to be no one. I frowned slightly very curious on what was going on.
I felt something leading me to the Hall of Feasting.
I quickly followed my gut feeling as it has never let me down before, even in my old life, it had saved me countless times and it has yet to prove to be useless here in this life in this Universe.
Once I rounded the corner -
"SURPRISE!" Everyone shouted at once nearly giving me a heart attack and nearly causing me to lash out in self-defense.
I asked loudly "What the Hela is going on here?!"
Freya gave me a look that said that the children were listening to me, though I did not see a point in keeping my language down to a kids, they grow up fast and I know Odin cusses and curses worse than the dwarves.
Freya sighed and said "Today is your birthday, do not tell me you forgot your own birthday!"
I shrugged and said "I do not keep track of that. To me it is pointless we are another day older and that is it. I am sorry Mother if that offends you... though it is a reason to see you." I gave her a small smile.
Thor and Loki rushed out of the crowd and hugged me they looked to be about Eight and Five respectively.
I chuckled softly and hugged them "Hey baby brothers."
Thor huffed and said "I am not a baby!"
I chuckled and said "You, both of you will always be my baby brother."
Loki chuckled amused and said "Okay old man."
I smirked liking Loki "Not as old as the Old Man Odin."
I heard Odin huff slightly but I saw a small smile on his lips.
Thor laughed a little at the joke I had made causing the entire crowd to smile a little bit.
Loki shook his head at Thor and asked me "So Clotuali, what have you done lately?"
I chuckled and said "Always thirsting for knowledge, I hope you do not change Loki, and brother, you can call me Hades if you want." I smiled and ruffled his long black hair and said "Should I tell the tail to all?"
I got a cheer from the crowd, I chuckled and said "One of battle or one of diplomacy?"
The crowd roared "Battle!"
I sighed mentally cursing myself for giving them an option, I had tried to be peaceful for the past millennium, and battling is not one of them, though Loki is not the only gifted lair in this world... So I smiled and said "Okay you win, a battle you want, a battle you get." I took a deep breath and said "I was traveling the Nine Realms when I went to Jotunheim, the home world of the Frost Giants, I glanced slightly at Loki as I scanned the crowd reading them.

(Hade's/ Clotuali's Point of View)
I stared and looked around me in the frozen waste land, nothing but snow, ice and stone for as far as the eye could see.
I called out the the Lord of this Realm, the King of the Frost Giants; Laufey
I greeted him by bowing to him, as everyone is king in their own home and world "Greetings King Laufey I come in peace... away from my father's house."
He glared down at me in a mix of anger and fear "Why are you here? What brings you to this realm?! War?! YOU slaughtered nearly ALL of us!"
I sighed and said "We were at war... and it was by my Father's, Lord Odin, King of Asgard, Ruler of the Nine Realms, will that I did what I did... I even killed my own for him to see the truth of war. I killed many of my men for there to be peace. I came here in peace... I came here to learn from your people and your ways."
He snorted in my direction and said "You lie well."
I growled and said "I do not want to fight, I came here to learn... if I am to be King or Ruler, I need to know every Realm and their own strengths and weaknesses. I have lived with the Dwarves for a couple thousand years, I spent several centuries with the Light Elves. I have scouted Midgard for dozens of years. This is one of the only Realms I need to learn from."
King Laufey paused and said "It seems that truth rings in your words. I sense no lies in you nor deceit." His frozen armor and ice weapon looked at me with the blood eyes.
I met his eyes as I said "I am not your enemy. I swear. If I wanted war, I would have killed you all by now. I am here talking for knowledge."
He paused and said "Then... what if you learned everything... then what? You destroy us?!"
I sighed bored of him "No my Lord. I learn and I stay and then I leave. Once I leave I will not return unless to learn more or to negotiate trade, or some thing along those lines."
The King paused and nodded "Very well... we have nothing to loose."
I chuckled dryly and then said "That you do not."

(Hade's/ Clotuali's Point of View)
I spent several decades on Jotunheim, learning everything that I could from them, they had a very unique magic compared to everything else I knew, but it was still potent in its own way. I never would have thought they were so powerful until I was there and learned from them. We all knew the Cold is where they thrived, they approved of my title 'Clotuali' or 'The Cold One' they agreed that their magic seemed to flow through me, and I as requested stayed to myself in their library or talking with the King.
I absorbed knowledge like a sponge learning everything they taught me.
I earned some respect from Laufey if not some trust since I have been there for over two hundred years.
I was summoned before the King by one of his servants, I wore my simple black cloak with all of the enchantments on it, ever ready for battle.
Once I arrived there the King stood up from the icy throne as I bowed to him "Lord Laufey..." Making sure I was respectful to him so to keep the peace up between us.
He looked down at me and said "We have a... a quest for you, something that only the eldest of warrior clans do. We have a Beast that needs destroyed... Many have died... now I call upon you to do this task." His blood red eyes met my own icy blue eyes.
I asked "Why send an outsider? Why send me? To kill me?" I paused and added "Or to earn the trust of the people? To appease all?"
Laufey said "Yes to all of the above." He stood up from his icy throne and walked down the icy steps, I was forced to look up to him for he was much more than two feet taller than me as he looked down at me.
I kept my temper under control knowing full well lashing out would not end well if I did not it could mean war if not death.

I glared at Erik who interrupted my story telling.
Erik said yelling "I thought you said a battle, a BATTLE! Where is the glorious fight and battle?!"
I growled lowly and said "I was getting there bastard."
*SMACK* Freya slapped my cheek for cussing in front of everyone.
I sighed but said nothing for a few minutes until I knew I could speak without anger "I was going to get there, I just needed to set the scene, and I thought Odin would like a report on the Frost Giants so my story is doing far more than entertaining." I sighed and shook my head already tired of the company, if today was my birthday, I wanted to be left alone as my present, to be left at peace.
Erik snorted and said "You have lost your edge Hades..."
I snarled and a cold wind blasted through the crowd. I said icily as I formed a sword of ice "You may call me Clotuali." My voice was as cold as the Artic and soft as the falling snow.
Everyone began to shiver from the cold save for Odin and Loki.
I huffed annoyed as I forced the cold back in within me to save for another time...
Odin glared at me with his one eye and asked me "Tell me where you learnt that!"
I snorted and said "Why should I tell you? If I said I learnt it on my own you would call me a lair. If I told you it were the Frost Giants you would demand either me or them to tell you." I glared at him and said "You know my name is Clotuali, The Cold One, I learnt how to manifest it outwards even better than before."
Forseti spoke up and said "He speaks the truth." Forseti was the god of; Justice, Peace and Truth.
I gave him a thankful nod.
Odin glared at me and said "Very well."
I sighed already tired of the so called party ready to leave and go to the forge to finish making some knives and daggers for Loki. I was about done with them, I made them with his people's enchantment meaning only he and I would be able to touch them without risk of Frost-Bite, plus a few others.
I also made Thor an Ax, Storm-Breaker, but only when he became King, a worthy king would I give that to him.
Thor shouted to me "Brother, can you please continue the tale?"
I sighed and asked "Okay, but where was I?"
Loki answered me "You were about to go on a quest to kill some beast or monster."
I nodded my thanks to him and said "King Laufey of the Frost Giants sent me on an urgent quest..."

(Location: Jotunheim)
(Hade's/ Clotuali's Point of View)
The King paused and nodded "Very well... we have nothing to loose."
I chuckled dryly and then said "That you do not." I sighed and said "Very well, I will go on this so called quest."
The King nodded to me and said "You have my gratitude. If you survive I myself will teach you."
I gave him a nod and said "Sound reasonable and fair. But swear to me that you will keep your word."
Laufey nodded and said "I Laufey, King of Jotunheim, swears to train Clotuali should he defeat the Beast and come back alive, lest I forfeit the crown to him."
I was shocked he swore on the crown, but I knew he would keep it now... unless I died... and stayed dead.
I was given a three days to pack and prepare, it was times like there was when I wish I knew the Sling-Ring, but of course I am too far behind time for that. Humans are now barely in the Stone Age.
I got my armor on plus my cloak, I hard dual swords at my sides. I had a shield made of Uru and Vibranium on my back, it was painted pitch black. I did not make the shield, but the Dwarves made it for me.
I made an ice mirror and looked into it. I saw myself and I approved of the armor, I was warm in the armor and cloak and it seemed to flow nicely. I sighed and muttered to myself "Well this is it." I stood up and began to march towards the Throne room to inform Laufey I was ready to leave.
However once I got there it seemed most all of the royals, Nobel were there.
I stood straight up and said "I am ready to leave King Laufey."
He looked down from his throne and nodded his head "The Beast is a giant, ten times as tall as I am and much, much stronger than I. It has a pet four times the size of our icy mounts. The Giant is located as far east as you can go."
I gave a single nod and asked "Anything I should know about it?"
He said "Yes, if it seems dead, kill it again... that goes for the both of them."
I thought that was strange but I had nothing to back me up so I nodded and said "As you wish."
Without another word I Shadow Traveled outside of the icy palace which reminded me of a tomb for some reason or another.
I made sure I was walking east and I began my trek towards the dark twin peaks.
(Line Break)
(Flash Back)
(Location: Jotunheim)
(Hade's/ Clotuali's Point of View)
It took me a week of jogging to get there but I made it there, the valley between the two dark peaks, but once I made it there I could feel a chill in my gut, I felt an evil like nothing I have ever felt before.
I called out into the darkness that seemed to try to swallow me "Show yourself to me!"
If Laufey was twenty feet tall... than this monster would be two-hundred feet tall... I should have brought a gun, a really, really big gun.
I saw a shadow move and I drew one of my swords and I got m shield out. I Shadow Traveled away to outside the peak and realized there was an enchantment, a spell around there.
I muttered a curse when I saw that the giant was closer to four-hundred-fifty feet tall and it was laying in the snow, but it had two heads! The two peaks, one of each head!
Slowly it began to rise to his full height, I felt like a spider, about to be crushed.
I sheathed my sword and drew the other and it caught on fire, the black flames from Hell, Hellfire. I threw the sword and it went into the eye and brain where it quickly melted the head, the body fell down, I thought it would have been over as I walked on the chest, but I forgot about one head, the right head, soon the right arm quickly slapped down onto me, if it were not my shield I would have been crushed. I knew now why Laufey had met when he said kill it twice.
I summoned my sword and it cut a hole through the jaw of the left head, but it seemed to be healing without it in there... I realized that the cold was empowering it.
I shouted as loud as I could "Heimdall send me to Muspelheim, the Fire realm!"
I jumped between the two heads as the Bifrost transported the giant and I to Muspelheim, where Sutur was the Fire Demon.
I shadow traveled back to Jotunheim where I was back in my room. I put up the armor back into a cloak form as I was wearing two cloaks now.
I walked to the King and threw open the doors of the throne room and said "I have slayed the two headed giant!" I declared.
Everyone cheered but Laufey, he asked me "Did you bring back anything to prove it?"
I smirked and said "I melted him with Hellfire, there was nothing but vapor. If he comes back, get me and I will try something else."
All shuddered at the dark malice filled look I had.
King Laufey seemed to have believed me as he too smiled 'To Clotuali the Risastór Morðingi The Giant Slayer!"
I sighed and asked "My Lord, may I retire to my quarters... I am need of recharging, I am tired."
He gave me a nod and allowed me to leave.

(Hade's/ Clotuali's Point of View)
I was once again interrupted this time by Thor "So you lied..."
I sighed and said "No, heat was the giant's weakness, he will melt in the fire realm become destroyed or weak. I did not say my name so I should be an unknown so he cannot have revenge by taking it out on you... and then it helps dampen the fire realm making it weaker slightly plausibly."
Odin glared at me with his one eye then said "So you used the Bifrost for an enemy of Asgard..."
I glared back at him in return and said "I was spreading peace with the Frost Giants, and sowing war where war already was."
Freya sighed annoyed and stepped between us "Maybe this story should not be told seeing how it can't make any one very happy."
I bowed to her in gratitude, I was tired of telling the story with all of the interruptions. I smiled towards her and said "Thank you Mother."
She smiled and nodded slightly at me.
Odin sighed and said "Happy Birthday Hades."
I glared at him and said "Only a few people may call me by that name, my name is Clotuali to you, after all you renamed me demeaning the other name lowly." My eyes burned coldly with rage.
He sighed and shook his head and I did the same and said "Why am I here Odin, we both know my self-exile has made peace between the family, and I do not care for being in one place for too long. I do not like strife and that is all I seem to get from you. So why would I come? I only came for my Mother's sake and the sake of my brothers'."
Odin sighed and said "You are my first born son... I love you. I know when you were younger... I forced you to do many things that you did not want to do... as a King I did it for Asgard... but as a father... I am sorry..."
I sighed and said "I forgive you... father. Do not assume I will be you son as I was before. It takes time to heal wounds of the past and for relationships the mend."
Odin gave me a nod and said "All I can ask is you give me a chance... Son."
A ghost of a smile pulled my lips upwards slightly.

(Time Skip: Three Days Later)
(Location: Asgard)
(Hade's /Clotuali's Point of view)
I ducked under a dagger and fired an ice blast making Loki roll out of cover.
Thor flew down from the top of the wall and flew down at me with his hammer Mjölnir with lighting trailing it. I rolled backwards and dodged the strike. I threw dark spikes at him and he spun his hammer as fast as he could and blocked every one of the projectiles.
I spun around and grabbed Loki by his throat and threw him at Thor who barely had time to stop spinning Mjölnir and catch Loki. Thor caught Loki, but they both hit the ground, by the time they righted themselves I had two swords on their neck, one for each neck.
I chuckled and helped them up "You guys are getting stronger every time we meet!''
Thor huffed and said "You always beat us!"
Loki added helping me "But we last a little longer every single time."
I nodded and said "Yes, remember I am eldest so my powers will always be over you, but you can become stronger by practice and training." I looked to both of them as I said that.
Loki sighed and said "I am never going to be physically as strong as you or Thor will I?"
I sighed and said "Physically? Not likely, but more powerful? Plausibly."
Thor glared at me and Loki.
I huffed and said "Thor you are God of Lightning and Thunder, you are very powerful. But if you get cocky and do not train you will be passed up by even as Midgardian, an earthling."
He sighed and said "I apologize for thinking you were playing favorites Hades."
I smiled and said "What are brothers for? I want both of you to be as powerful as both of you can be. You two are very different. You hold power differently than Loki does."
Loki asked "Can you teach me more Magic, Freya taught me all she knows."
I chuckled and said "Maybe when you are a little more older, but keep reading and you will go far."
Thor asked me "Can you train me? Please?"
I sighed and said "Maybe later, I need some food and I have a meeting with Odin soon."
Loki said "You were going easy on us were you not? You knew you could beat us and have time to meet up with Father after."
I shrugged and said "Yup, I knew I could beat you, BUT by no means was I going easy."
They both gave me a nod before I bid them farewell for now.
I was telling them the truth, but the only reason why I was not going easy was because I was afraid of hurting them or even killing if I went all out. I was hoping by train Loki I would stop him from going evil, and by training Thor I would not make him jealous and accidently send him to Thano's side. I did not want to make either one evil so I could not treat one overly fondly. Odin treated Thor special and Freya treated Loki special, but they both wanted the other's attention, but I filled that fatherly figure to them being an older male role model... I did not say I was a good one, but on Asgard and around them I would try to keep clean. I did not want to lead them astray.
A few minutes later I arrived in the Library where Odin was waiting for me.
I asked him with a sigh "What do you want Odin."
He sighed and said "I know you were not happy about your childhood."
I shrugged and said "We were at war, it could have been worse, far worse. I enjoyed traveling."
Odin nodded once and said "Son, if you could have anything in the world, what would you desire?"
I sighed and said "Nothing All-Father. I am content with what I have and what I am."
Odin sighed as he sensed the truth, he paused and nodded "Very well."
"Was there a gift you were going to give me?" I asked curious now.
Odin gave me a wry grin and said "Maybe."
I chuckled and said "Is this for all of the birthdays you missed?"
Odin sighed and said "Partly, the other part was that I was never there for you when you were a kid. I gave Thor a great war hammer and Loki a scepter."
I gave him a single nod and said "I know, I gave Loki some daggers with some small enchantments on them and Thor a Cape that will keep him warm and would add protection to his back."
All-Father sighed and then said "I know you love them like sons, I am glad they have you to look up to."
I glared at him and said "Loki needs you too, he desires your attention and approval. Yet you favor Thor, your second born compared the adopted son, child of Laufey King of the Frost Giants." I sighed and said "Loki should know that he is a Frost Giant before he finds out on his own. I will tell him if you do not."
Odin sighed and put a hand on his face and slowly wiped down as he said "I Know, I know I need to tell him, tell him soon... but-"
I cut him off and said "But you are afraid." I paused and then added "But the longer you wait the worse it will be in the long run." I looked into his eye as I said that.
Odin gave me a single nod as he said "I know that... but still..."
I sighed and said "You should tell him, but I will if I must."
