The rumors continue but no confirmation about your marriage with Hela. You wish to keep it between Hela and you, due to your social status. No one know except the almighty king.
"You wish to see me, my king?" you kneel down and keep your eyes on the floor.
"Yes. Child." Despite Odin just sitting in his throne, you can sense his imperial presence. "Are the rumors true?" he goes straight to the point.
"I …" but you are not sure what to say.
"Just be honest."
"… yes, my king." You quiver when Odin stands up and walk in front of you.
"Maybe you can change her mind, after all." You frown at his words. "You see, Hela's ambition has outgrew mine. I wish her to stop in order to bring peace and unity to Nine Realms."
"It is her dream to conquer the cosmos, my king. And ..." You try to continue but he interrupts immediately.
"Then it is time for her to wake up, child." You tremble again when he put a hand on your shoulder. "You don't wish her to die in battle, do you?"
"Of course not!" you raise your voice.
"Very well. Now go." Odin waves his hand and step back to his throne.
You quickly walk out the room and take a deep breath. That was the most anxious and disheartening experience. You keep your hand in front of your chest and try to calm down. "What does he means?" you are wondering because Odin has never care for his daughter. "Is he afraid of Hela?" you do not know.
"Darling." Hela finds you standing in an empty hallway. "Are you alright?" she asks.
"Yes… yes, I'm fine." You lean into her hug and feels a lot more relief.
"I heard father has requested your presence." Hela pats your back.
"Yes." You sigh. "He wants you to stop."
"Stop what?" she commands.
"Stop your conquest throughout the cosmos." You look up to your queen and all you see is displeasure.
"You know I will not stop, right?"
"Yes. Of course." You hesitate and remembers Odin's words. "But maybe you should. I don't want you die in battle."
Hela let go of you. "I will not."
"You don't know that."
"I do."
"Hela…"
"Enough!" she now has her back toward you, again. "Darling, if you intent to stop me. Then …"
"I'm not!" you interrupts her. "I just want you to be safe." Hela did not reply. She is simply relieved. There is a moment she thought her only friend and now lover will go against her. "I'm not… Hela." You whisper softly but make sure she hears you.
"Good." Hela release a sigh and grab your hand. "Come. Now. You need to rest."
Next day, Hela storm into the throne room. "Father!" she is furious. "I thought we only come back for a short break."
"Hela." Odin greets her.
"Answer me." A simple demand from her.
"We are at peace now. There is no need for bloodshed." Odin knows his daughter will not accept it as an answer.
"You lied." Indeed, Odin lied to Hela just to force her back on Asgard.
"Don't you see, child." He steps down from his throne. "Peace and unity is what the people wants. Not war."
"How can you lie to me, your only daughter?" Hela sounds heartbroken. "You said, I'm destined to rule over everyone." She clutches her fists.
"And you have."
"I will not stop in Nine Realms." Odin watch her daughter's eyes and release a sigh. He knows he cannot stop her anymore.
"Hela." She watch intensely. "I will not let you destroy the peace I made." Odin sees her daughter summons a sword.
"Then I will break it."
Meanwhile, you are taking care of Fenris. You take her to the nearest shore and let her soak into in. "Woof!" Fenris love playing in the water. Then, you feed Fenris. "Woof!" another satisfy respond from her. Later the night you returns to Hela's room. It is pitch dark. "Hela?" you lit up a candle and all you see it is an empty room. You lay on her bed and awaits her. However, she never returns.
Next morning, you wake up by a knock. You see an older woman standing here. "Figured I find you here." She looks concerns.
"What's wrong?" you yawns.
"Princess Hela is imprison."
"What?!" you follow her outside.
"I'm not sure what happens but our King seize her yesterday." She frown as your concerns grow.
"Where is she?" you ask.
"She is in the dungeons."
You quickly head toward the dungeon, however you are stop by a guard. "I'm sorry, Sugar cube. You cannot go in."
"I need to see Princess Hela." You raise your voice.
"Then that's a big no no, Love." you anger builds as he treat you like a child.
"What if I offer you something nice?"
"Like what?" now he is interested. You show him a bag of gold you have been saving. You know you have succeed when he takes the whole bag with force. "She is down the hallway. All the way at the end."
You hurry and walk into the dungeon. You carry a candle with you but it is still too dark here. "Hela..?" you yell out her name and hope she respond. However, the only acknowledgment you get are the other prisoner's. As you continue your path, you see a dark figure. "Hela!" Finally you find your queen. You runs to her then your heart drops. Hela is on her knees with both of her hands chained on each side of the wall.
"Darling?" she chokes out. "Is that you?"
"Yes!" you hug her immediately and have her head rest in your chest. "I'm here. It's okay."
"Odin lie to me." You keep soothing her as she speaks. "He said we will conquer the world, but now he changes his mind." Hela is so broken and it hurt you to see her like this.
"Did you fight him?" you can feel her smirking on your chest.
"Of course. If his ambition dims down, then I will outgrow his." Hela lift her head up and smile to you. But somewhat terrifying.
"Hela. Maybe we should just let it be peace." She frowns. "Maybe we can just go to Midgard." Now her eyes are dark and cold.
"Darling, we will go to our honeymoon." You can hear her disinterest. "But right now, you have to free me."
"How?"
"Do you have the dagger with you?" Hela maliciously grin knowing that you always keep it on you. "Now break this chains." You hesitate and start debating if this is a good idea. "Do it!" her voice startles you. You then break a chain like it is cutting a potato. Then Hela summons her own swords and break the other ones. "Thank you, love."
Hela puts on her battle helmet as she walks out. You follow her closely and suddenly one of the prisoner grab your dress. "Hey doll!" you can see his obnoxious face with a few broken teeth. "Let go of me!" you yell as you pull back the dress. Then you watch his face abruptly turns into a blood spatter.
"Let's go, darling." Hela just casually said. You on the other hand is shock, speechless, and half cover in blood. You stand still as you watch your queen slaughter the other prisoners. "Oh. I've miss this!" a relief from killing people. "You coming?" she notice you have not move. "Or are you scared?" you can see her eye are dark.
"I'm … not." You are horrify. Even though, there is no turning back, you cannot leave Hela. You simply don't want to leave her alone.
Hela and you walk out of the dungeon and are welcome by the guards. Before they can speak, she is already kill half of them. "Woof!" you can see Fenris joins her. They both are fighting with ease. Meanwhile, you feel so useless. You just stand there and watch innocent people die.
"Hela! Stop!" You run to her and hold on tight. "Please stop." You choke. "They don't deserve this. Please just stop."
"Are you with me or against me?" she said without any emotions.
"I'm with you. But none of them deserve to die." you just hold on tighter. "This not you, Hela." She forcibly step out of your embrace.
"I'm the goddess of Death." Hela continue her path to Odin's throne. "And I will start my conquest right here, right now."
As you watch Hela walks away, you feel nothing but petrified. This is the first time, you ever see her like this. Full with anger and coldness, and lives mean nothing to her. You stand up slowly and wipe off your tears. "Hela…" you softly whisper her name. Although you have no clues on stopping her, you head toward her anyway.
On your way to the Palace, you can see lot of corpses laying on the ground. Then follows with a huge explosion. You can see a large body fallen in the far side. "Fenris!" you scream but there is no whimper or growling. On the other side, you can see a huge spike coming out of the floor. You decides to head over because you have a feeling Hela is there.
When you arrive to the throne room, you can see Odin standing tall while Hela is on the floor. "No…" you can see he is about to execute his own daughter. You immediately rush between them and as a result, the blade deeply stab into your shoulder.
Hela's eyes widen as you kneel before her and facing Odin. "Y/n!" she try to summons her sword, but her hands are deeply wounded.
"Child." Odin speaks. "I thought you can change her."
You laugh. "If I can change her, then I won't love her as much as I do."
"What do you wish to accomplish?" he knows you cannot fight him or for her.
"I just want to fulfill my promise." You choke as Odin holding the blade he stab into your shoulder. "I will stand beside her. I will be her shield. She is my queen and I am all hers." you look straight into his eyes.
"I see." Odin pulls the blade out swiftly. You fall forward but Hela catches you.
"Darling." She hold you close despite the pain in her hands.
The guard eventually show up and secure both of you. "Hela." Odin sigh. "There are no more room for you in Asgard. From now on, you will be banish to Hel."
"You coward!" Hela scream at him.
"As for your wife," he look at you.
"Don't you dare!" she immediately interrupts him.
"As for your wife, her memories will be erase and confine for eternity." Hela's heart sinks. "I know you just wanted to defend her. But there are always consequences of our actions." Odin cast a spell and your bleeding has stop. "And this is yours." He then gesture the guard to let go of you.
You watch Hela's face sadden. You stand up slowly and knowing that it is inevitable, you speak up to Odin. "At least let me say goodbye." He nod and acknowledge that you are stronger than you look.
"Hela." You step close your queen.
"Don't…" she is being hold by a few guards.
You smile to your queen. "You are going to be alone now." You cup her cheeks. "I won't be able to take care of your life anymore." Hela's tear start to pour down. "But remember that …" you choke. "I will always love you. Always stand beside you. And always … always remembers you." You chuckle bitterly as both of your tears pouring down your faces. You then kiss her one last time. "I love you, Hela. It's been an honor."
That is it. Hela scream as they pull you away. Odin then takes her daughter to Hel. "You will regret this." she said softly. "Just you wait, Odin." Door closes behind her. There is nothing here in Hel, but a despair and heartbroken princess.
