Chapter 71

McGonagall waited at the top of the hill overlooking the camp of the dead, the meeting place for her to meet Dahlia's family to travel to the bank. She could see the final packing away was being done and smiled when she saw Dahlia approaching with her sister, father, brothers and three soldiers of Niflheim. She recognised one, Akio, and she wasn't surprised to see him but the other two were a wonder to her. Approaching, Dahlia asked loudly, "all ready, Professor?"

McGonagall nodded as they got closer and when they were all together, Hela explained, "so, Professor, we'll be taking a portal to Diagon Alley and it is extremely important that you listen. Travelling through these portals can be dangerous to your soul, even when we're not travelling across realms. It will only be for a second, but you will need to hold onto someone from Niflheim. I'll be taking my father and Dahlia, Akio will be taking my brothers and Aelua here will be taking you. This is Aelua, she's a light elf and this is Ezroth, he's a dark elf".

McGonagall looked to the young female light elf with long white hair who had a bow and arrows across her back. The light elf smiled at her and McGonagall returned the smile.

"We all ready then?" Dahlia asked. Everyone nodded and Hela waved her hand in the air to open a portal, then she took her sister and father's hands, and everyone followed them as they stepped through.

Leaving the portal, Dahlia wasn't surprised to find themselves in the middle of the bank, goblins all around them staring in shock and there were a few wizards in the bank doing business who stared with mixture of shock and fear. The portal closed when they all came through and then a group of wizards approached with wands held and Dahlia knew within seconds, they would be dead if they tried anything. Thankfully, Griphook approached quickly and waved the wizards away and said, "put those things away, do you want to die?"

At that, it had the family smirking slightly and other members of Niflheim. The wizards backed away as Griphook bowed his head and said, "it is a pleasure to see you once again. Please follow me, the others have already arrived, and everything is prepared".

They walked through the bank until they reached the back and walked down a corridor that said was restricted to staff but then saw the other members of the will at the end of the hallway. Alice, Frank and Neville Longbottom and Severus Snape. Dahlia wasn't surprised by the members of the will but was surprised that McGonagall looked shocked to see Snape and knew the old woman's mind would be clicking soon about who her true godfather was.

Approaching them, Dahlia smile as Alice and Neville smiled to her and Neville jumped from his seat he was sat on and asked them, "did you really get the founders and Merlin and Morgan Le Fay to do a Q&A at Hogwarts?"

"Nice to see you again too," Dahlia said with a roll of her eyes.

"Sorry," Neville said then the two friends hugged.

As they pulled away, Dahlia answered, "it was all Hela's idea. We knew the will reading couldn't be kept a secret, even a day, so she thought having them at Hogwarts and inviting everyone, no one would turn down the chance to meet them".

Alice then said to Hela, "good plan. There're very few people out there and I only saw two photographers".

Griphook then said, "if you wait here a moment, head goblin Gnark is the only one to have access to this room and the will after the unfortunate events of this will so far".

Griphook then left and Fenrir stared at the door for a moment, seeing no handle, and hummed as he said, "when they say only one goblin can get in, they can't really mean that, can they?"

"Oh, no," Jörmungandr said as he put his head down.

"Dad," and "papa," were instantly said from the girls as they all looked to their eldest brother who looked at the door with interest.

Loki shook his head and said, "Fenrir, don't even think about it".

"But," Fenrir protested, "he's practically asking for someone to try and break in. Tell me you've never tried it".

Loki didn't answer which made everyone look to him and Alice asked, "Loki, have you broken into Gringotts before?"

Loki shrugged, "you can hardly call it breaking in if I don't take anything. Lily was basically asking me to break in when she told me no one had ever done it before. Did you know there are dragons on the lower levels?"

"The rumours are true," Frank said surprised as the girls looked at Loki with disapproval.

Loki shook his head slightly at Dahlia and said, "don't look at me like that, you look like your mother did when she found out".

"Shocker," Dahlia said, "after all you only broke into a bank".

Hela then said, "how about we all stop talking about breaking into a bank in said bank?"

"Goblins," Jörmungandr said and they looked to see Griphook coming back with Gnark.

Gnark bowed his head to Dahlia's family before he drew his claw along the door and the inner locks began to move before the door opened. The head goblin went in and the others followed, the Niflheim soldiers staying outside at Hela's command. They could all smell burning as the door opened. As they entered, everyone was surprised by the room. It wasn't the long table with chairs around it but the burning large bowl in the centre of the table and all around the room were symbols drawn onto the walls with some form of red herbal paste and when they looked up, Hela's symbol was on the ceiling.

Gnark said, "as you can see, this is what caused the delay".

Snape couldn't help but ask, "what is all this?"

It clocked instantly to the none-Midgardians what it was, and Loki answered, "protection, shielding, privacy with all these symbols and what I'm presuming is burning in that bowl, it makes this room the most private room on this realm at the moment. No spell, not even Heimdall will be able to see inside".

Hela then said, "I could open a portal from Niflheim to here and no one would know. Lily really did think of everything".

Gnark said from the head of the table, "as you can see, this is the reason why we could not read the will yesterday. There were other instructions about how to get notice of the will to Niflheim, but we felt that wasn't necessary as we could contact you. I hope we did everything correctly, some of the symbols that we were requested to draw were quite tricky. Please sit".

Everyone then sat, Gnark at the head of the table with Frank to his left, then Neville, Alice, Severus, McGonagall and Griphook at the other end. Loki sat to Gnark's right then Dahlia, Hela, Fenrir and Jörmungandr. Everyone sat and the door to the room closed and a gold cylinder appeared in front of Gnark on the table. He opened it and the will fell out. Gnark opened the will and began…

Being of sound mind and body, and under no influence by spell or potion, I, Lily Jane Evans, declare this to be my last will and testament in detriment of any, and all previous wills I have made.

To my dearest friend, Alice Longbottom, the woman who kept all my secrets when I could tell no one, I leave you chest number 18 and 10,000 Galleons. I know you have no need for the Galleons but spoil that godson of mine if I am not there. The chest contains many books and artefacts I know took your liking from my time elsewhere.

To Frank Longbottom, I leave you a spell book named Arkashara Defence. A book I am sure you are unfamiliar with, but Alice will explain, it is a powerful book of spells for defence and as I write this, I hope you shall never need to learn such powerful defensive spells, that the war is over, and your family is together and whole. I also give permission for Alice to tell you the truth, the whole truth about Dahlia.

To my godson Neville Longbottom, I leave you 10,000 Galleons and a pendant engraved with a phoenix. It will keep you safe from any and all spells, I hope you never have true need for it.

To my oldest and best friend Severus Snape, I leave you 15,000 Galleons, a letter explaining all that has happened if I have not had the chance before this reading and chest number 12. The chest contains many of our mementos from when we were children and a few books I think you might find interesting.

To Fenrir Lokison and Jörmungandr Lokison, I hope you are well and are found unharmed and are at this reading, I leave you a letter. If they are not present for the reading, the letter is to be given to their sister Hela Lokidottir.

To Hela Lokidottir, I am sorry for the pain I know I have caused with my death and I can only hope I see you again. I leave a letter in case that isn't what happens.

To Loki Odinson, I am sorry, my love, that I have left but I leave you a letter if I do not see you again. I wish to make it known to all that are hearing this will that Loki Odinson is the true father of my daughter Dahlia. She is not a Potter but a Lokidottir and I had to lie and pretend in order to keep her safe from enemies that many wouldn't believe. If her heritage is fought with caution and contested against, Alice Longbottom can confirm her true parentage.

To Dahlia Lokidottir, to my baby girl, I leave you a letter explaining everything, hoping you never have to read it.

Other than the items mentioned in this will, I leave everything in vault 510 to Loki Odinson, Hela Lokidottir and Dahlia Lokidottir.

In regard to custody of my daughter, she is to be reunited with her father Loki Odinson without any intervention or prevention. If James Potter is still living, I apologise for the methods of deceit I used but I will not apologise for keeping my family safe, even if it came to pretending we had a child. If Loki Odinson is unwilling or unable to take guardianship, guardianship is to fall to Dahlia's sister Hela Lokidottir. If Hela is unable or unwilling to take custody, custody is to be given to her godmother, Alice Longbottom. If Alice is unable or unwilling to take custody, guardianship is to fall to Dahlia's godfather Severus Snape. Under no circumstance is my daughter to be put into the care of my sister Petunia Dursleys and her husband Vernon Dursley. They hate magic and would treat her like a slave.

Signed

Lily Jane Evans

Witnessed by: private signing with Goblins

Gnark put the will down and moved the cylinder and a key fell out. He held it and said, "the key to vault 510, if you will all follow me, I shall take you down to the vault".

They left the room and McGonagall was quick to stand beside Severus as they walked through the hallways and questioned him, "you're her godfather, when were you going to tell anyone?"

Severus took a moment before he said, "possibly never. I was never asked to be her godfather, Lily never told me about any of this, up until recently, I was under the impression that Black was her godfather".

"If you tell that dog you're her godfather, can we be there?" someone asked, and they looked forward to see Fenrir turned as he was walking backwards.

Dahlia slapped his arm and said, "stop eavesdropping on conversations".

"What?" Fenrir shrugged, "I'm a wolf, I can't help it, besides, you said Black had a temper and I want to see someone put the dog on his arse after he kidnapped you and you didn't let us go after him".

Dahlia forced Fenrir to turn and said a quick, "sorry," for Fenrir's eavesdropping.

McGonagall's brow lifted slightly as she looked at Severus, as if questioning the same and he just sighed and looked away, not wishing to answer.

Dahlia and her family went into one cart, Akio and the other soldiers staying up top, even after he began to shed concerns over them going down into the vaults without protection as it was clear they could sense the dragon beneath. Gnark took them while Griphook went into a separate cart and took the others. It didn't take long to get to vault 510, as it wasn't as low as the Potter vaults but low enough that it was protected well and made Dahlia question how her mother, a Muggle-born, managed to get such a well-guarded vault.

After they got to the vault and off the carts, Gnark opened the vault with the key and it surprised everyone at the size of the vault. Money piled high, artefacts scattered around the room, paintings and books too. They all entered, and Hela said, "the same symbols are in here too, more protection ones, she wanted to protect everything in here".

Just like in the meeting room, symbols were on the walls but the ones in the vault seemed to be carved into the vault and let off a small amount of light, showing their power was still active. Gnark opened up a small wooden box that was in the vault and took out a series of letters and passed them around to the people they were meant for from the will. He then said, "the other matters in the will can be moved to your individual vaults if you wish".

Alice, Frank and Severus all nodded, and it took a few moments as goblins came in and began to remove things from the vault as Dahlia looked around. She came across a glass cabinet filled with weird vials with silver wisps inside. It took her a moment to identify what they were and said loudly, "dad, come look at this." She opened the cabinet and picked up one of the vials and saw it was labelled, `Dahlia walking for the first time'.

Loki came and saw the cabinet and froze when he saw Dahlia held one of the vials. She didn't look at him as she said, "copies of her memories, she must have been extracting memories. Why, dad?"

Loki took a moment before he stepped closer to look at the label and said, "precious memories. Your mother was at war, as much as I hate that, she was at war. After all the preparations she did regarding the will, it doesn't shock me that she stored her memories. Possibly so you would know her if the worst was to happen to her".

Dahlia gently put the vial back and closed it and placed her hand on the glass as she bit her lip to stop any tears that may come. She eventually said, "she shouldn't have been thinking about any of this, she should have been happy, not thinking about herself dying".

"Look at me," he said as he touched her arm and she turned but her hand remained on the glass case, "your mother was happy but like any parent, especially one at war, I know she thought about every possibility of how the war would end. Just because she thought of this, does not mean every minute she spent with you wasn't filled with happiness".

He then pulled her close and wrapped her arms around him as he did her. "Are you okay?" they headed and looked to see her siblings and it was Jörmungandr that asked.

Dahlia pulled away from their father and said, "I'm fine". She then gestured to the cabinet, "mum's memories. She was storing them".

Jörmungandr frowned and asked, "how did she do that?"

"It's a Midgardian spell," Hela answered, "they can take memories from their mind and store them, so they can be seen by other people. People do it for many different reasons, they even use it in their court system".

"Excuse me," someone said, and they turned to see Griphook, "the items have been removed from the vault, everything in here is now yours. We will be waiting by the carts if you have any questions or instructions". Griphook then handed the key over and left.

Dahlia held the key and asked, "what should we do with everything?"

The boys shrugged, not knowing what to say as they didn't know Lily to have a say in what to do with her things, but Loki said, "we can't leave everything here. If it gets out about this vault and the amount of protection Lily has gone through to hide it, I don't doubt others will get curious and wish to look".

Hela then said, "I can have everything brought to Niflheim. All these protection spells and symbols, it will allow me to open a portal in here and no one, not even Heimdall would know. I can have it done when we get back to Niflheim".

"What about these?" Fenrir asked as he held his and Jörmungandr letter from Lily, "anyone know why Lily wrote to Jora and I?"

"Because you're family, even if she didn't know you," Dahlia said. "Take it, see what she has to say". Fenrir nodded as did everyone else with their letters and put them away in pockets and Hela and Dahlia handed theirs to their father to put in his inner jacket pocket, so they wouldn't rip.

They then left the vault and noticed that one cart with Gnark had already gone back up to the bank while Griphook was waiting by the other cart. Dahlia locked up before she took off her locket and put the key on the chain before putting it back on, keeping it safe there knowing it wouldn't come off accidently or get lost in a pocket.

Going back up to the surface, they saw the Longbottom family, McGonagall and the soldiers waiting. It seemed Gnark was quickly doing some paperwork regarding the will. Dahlia went to her professor and asked quietly, "where's Professor Snape?"

McGonagall hesitated in answering but said, "he returned to Hogwarts. I think all of this may have been a little too much for him. He may be moody and not show his emotions, but I've known that boy since he was eleven. I think he just needs time".

Dahlia nodded in understanding as he did just read his best friend's will and found out the truth from her will and who knows if he read his letter yet, but Dahlia was slightly disappointed he wasn't there. She wanted to talk to him, ask him if he did have any intention of taking part in the war or would he do as she wanted and for him to take the potions, she had given him to hide from Voldemort now her mother wasn't being used against him.

Gnark didn't take long but came out with forms that showed guardianship of Dahlia signed by Loki so that if anyone wanted proof that she was his, the guardianship forms would show it and name that the evidence given was in the will of Lily Evans. Thankfully, it also came with change of name forms for Dahlia and a new birth certificate with her true name on thanks to the help from her father.

Leaving the bank, they all walked out, not caring about the stares as Dahlia was talking to Neville. She said, "listen, Neville, you don't have to come to Niflheim during the summer, you can spend it with your parents. There will be plenty of other times you can come".

"Thanks," he said smiling, happier than she had ever seen him before, "mum and dad got me a new wand too, they weren't too happy when they found out gran gave me dad's, said it wouldn't work right for me and my new one does perfectly. They said we could go travelling in the summer, to get away from it all and spend time together. They said we can look for rare herbs and plants, I didn't think they'd like herbology, but they get it".

Dahlia let off a small laugh at his excitement and said, "of course they do, Neville. Anything you're interested in, I am sure they would take great interest in or quickly learn everything about it for you".

Neville went slightly red and Dahlia knew why, it was because he finally had his parents back, two people who love him unconditionally and only wanted what was best for him and wanted anything that made him happy. There was his grandmother on the other hand who wanted him to be a cardboard copy of his father.

They all talked for a few minutes outside of the bank, ignoring the stares they were getting before they all went their separate ways. The Longbottom's returning home while Hela had Aelua took McGonagall through a portal back to Hogwarts as they had other matters to attend to at the Ministry. The family and two soldiers walked into a dark alley before Dahlia was asked to focus on the Department of Mysteries where they kept prophecies, they would not be leaving without Dahlia's. Because Hela had never been before, she needed some insight into what it looked like and thankfully, Dahlia had already been there in her visions from the Horcrux. It wasn't long before they were in the Department of Mysteries.

Dahlia almost shivered at being there, thinking back to when she saw Mr Weasley bleeding out on the floor after being attacked by Nagini. Rows and rows of towering shelves filled with nothing but small, dusty glass orbs. Some of them had a weird liquidly glow about them while others seemed dull and dark, like light bulbs when they had blown out. All of them did, however, have tiny yellow labels stuck underneath each orb. Candle brackets along the shelves were burning blue light which matched the coldness of the room.

They walked through the rows of prophecies hoping to find Dahlia's quickly without any interference. With a little help from magic, they eventually found the prophecy, it was on row ninety-seven. They froze at the sight of it, a glass sphere that glowed with a dull light and was dusty as if it hadn't been touched in year. It was labelled

S.P.T to A.P.W.B.D

Dark Lord

And (?) Dahlia Potter

Fenrir went up to pick it up, but Hela grabbed his hand to stop him and he said, "what? I'm just getting it".

"Do not touch it," Hela said, "wizards here take protecting prophecies very seriously, touching it can send someone into madness at best. Only the person it's about can take it".

Fenrir dropped his arm as Hela let go and everyone looked to Dahlia who couldn't take her eyes off of the prophecy that caused her to lose her mother. She approached the shelf and picked up the orb and could only stare at it as she held it in her hand. Not turning her eyes away, she asked, "how do I hear it?"

"Break it," Hela answered, wanting to hear it too.

"Wait a minute," Loki said, "Dahlia, think about this. Do you really wish to know the prophecy word for word?"

Dahlia answered, "this prophecy has caused me enough trouble. I have to know what it says". With that, she raised her hand with the prophecy and brought it down quickly, letting it go and the orb smashing on the floor. They all stared at the broken pieces of the orb as a pearly-white figure with huge magnified eyes, who they knew to be Professor Trelawney, rose from the pieces. She then spoke the prophecy they all wanted to hear…

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches…born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies…and the Dark Lord shall mark her as his equal, but she will have power the Dark Lord knows not…and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives…the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies…"

The figure then stopped speaking and disappeared.

"That's it?" Dahlia exclaimed as she looked up from the broken orb to her family, "how can that be it? It didn't tell us anything we don't already know. I was born in July, I've got this stupid scar because of him, he kills me, or I kill him, I thought this prophecy would tell us something useful".

"Sweetheart, calm down," Loki said as he stepped close and put his hands on her upper arms, "I know you were expecting this prophecy to tell you exactly how to kill him but think of the bright side, this prophecy doesn't state anybody else, doesn't command certain actions to be taken and it gives you the choice to decide how you wish to end this war. Some people have choices taken from them when it comes to prophecy, you haven't. Think positive".

Dahlia took a moment before she took a deep breath and nodded before looking between members of her family and said, "healing, check, will, check, prophecy, check, can we go home now?"

A few of them laughed as Hela smiled and said, "I think it's time".

At Hogwarts, the magical audience reacted well to the story Salazar told them, about how he and Morgan were portrayed in a bad light for over a thousand years and some of that was their own doing but not all of it. It was quickly accepted as the truth and everyone knew it would be in every paper, stories changed, and Hogwarts a History rewritten. They knew word would spread across the wizarding world about the truth regarding their legends. How Slytherin and Ravenclaw have a daughter, Slytherin did what he believed was right and protecting the magical communities' children and Morgan's prophecy which led her to her own adopted daughter many centuries later. The audience listened when Salazar sent out his own warning, that the house and family of Slytherin disowns Tom Riddle known as Lord Voldemort and that anyone who aids him in the war, anyone who carries the Dark Mark, will be surely punished in the afterlife. He warned them to think of having one life and the choices in that life, and death which lasted eternity and their choices affected if they were tortured or not.

The audience became much more relaxed and worded their questions differently, so they wouldn't offend the guests and a few people even began to ask Isobel questions. Someone had just asked Isobel, "what do you think of Hogwarts?"

Everyone expected the young girl to jump up and down with excitement at seeing the castle and saying how she always wanted to come but she scrunched up her nose as she thought then shrugged and answered, "it's pretty, I guess".

"You guess? Some people think this castle is the most beautiful place they have ever seen," a reporter in the front row said.

Isobel shook her head immediately and said, "then they haven't been to Niflheim. The royal palace, castle of the old kings, the Apex Citadel, the-"

Morgan then put a hand over her daughter's mouth who giggled, and she said to the audience, "you are clearly forgetting that this child is from another world, meaning she has seen things quite literally out of this world. If she is to list everything, she has seen more beautiful then Hogwarts, we are to be here all day".

Morgan removed her hand as Isobel laughed and the audience joined in too. Godric then said, "I would be insulted at Hogwarts not being beautiful but she's right. After being on Niflheim for so long, the things we've seen, it doesn't quite give you the same feeling as it did all those years ago".

Helga responded, "it is still beautiful, Godric".

"I didn't say it wasn't…just that like Isobel said, there are more impressive structures out there".

Almost all the audience jumped while the people on stage stayed still and undisturbed as a portal opened to the side of the stage. For those from Niflheim, it was a regular occurrence while for those on Midgard, especially those who didn't live at Hogwarts who had become more familiar with the strange and unexpected, it was a form of magic that they had never seen before.

It was no surprise when Dahlia and her family and two soldiers came through, but the press immediately stood and began to shout questions and take photos. The portal closed and while Hela began to talk to her council members on the stage who all stood and gathered together, Dahlia noticed Dumbledore sat in the front row beside Cornelius Fudge and other Ministry officials.

She left the stage and walked to Dumbledore while photographers were taking pictures and people talking about them. Standing in front of Dumbledore, she went into her pouch at her belt and brought out a folded cloth and gestured for his hand, he raised it and she went to put the cloth into his hand but instead, opened it so what was hidden fell into his hand. Shards of glass fell into his hand and he looked between her and his hand confused, not knowing why she had given him glass.

Dahlia then said, "the one with the power to vanquish the dark lord approaches, born to those who have-"

"What have you done?" Dumbledore said shocked as he stood wide eyed now knowing what was in his hand and what she had done.

Calmly she replied, "it is my prophecy, I can do with it what I like. You have been risking people's lives protecting it, I'm not going to leave this world knowing people are risking their lives for a prophecy that says everything that is basically general knowledge already".

"You're going home?" he asked.

She nodded and replied, "you know that was always the plan when I got better, and no one can stop me now". Dahlia then glanced to the Minister and other officials and said, "anyone here who wishes to accuse my father of kidnapping can go to Gringotts. I'm sure they will be happy to provide evidence of my mother's will and the truth behind my heritage".

They all then heard a horn and looked towards the stage to see Akio blowing through a blowing horn and he only stopped when Hela opened a portal and the founders, Merlin, Morgan, Isobel and Selena went through. The portal closed, and Loki walked to Dahlia and touched her arm and said, "time to leave, the Thestrals are coming now".

Dahlia gave one last look to Dumbledore before she walked down the centre aisle with her family, people whispering and talking about them and the press continuing to take pictures. As they got closer to the back of the audience, Dahlia noticed Hermione sat next to the twins and their eyes locked and she nodded her head to the back and Hermione understood. Hermione stood and took the boys with her as they walked to the back and the family put a good hundred meters between them and the remaining audience before they stopped.

Dahlia smiled to her friends as they approached and hugged them goodbye and said, "I'll miss you".

"We'll see you soon," George said.

Fred then said, "summer in Niflheim remember?"

Dahlia laughed, "you guys are gonna love it. Hermione, please persuade your parents to let you come".

"I'll try," the young witch said with a roll of her eyes.

"I also have something else to ask you. Can you please take care of Hedwig? I can't take her to Niflheim with me, it's a different environment, different creatures, it wouldn't be right of me to force her into that environment".

Hermione immediately nodded, "consider it done".

"It's time," Hela said, and Dahlia looked to her to see her looking at the hundreds of soldiers heading their way on Thestrals. At the front of the troop were four empty Thestrals that Dahlia knew were Eclipse, Zelda and Abrafo and a fourth Thestral Dahlia assumed was Ezroth's.

Hela held her hand up to the sky and focused for a moment before a portal opened, ten times the size that Dahlia has ever seen, and she shouldn't have been surprised by the size as there were hundreds of people and Thestrals about to pass through. What did surprise her was that the twins and Hermione looked at the portal surprised but then looked back to the troop and gasped as they got close and slowed to a stop.

"What is it?" Dahlia asked.

Hermione stayed silent while the twins were wide eyed and mumbled, "Thestral".

Loki laughed and said, "the light from Niflheim is coming through the portal, they can see the Thestrals".

"Guys, this is Eclipse," Dahlia said as the Thestral approached her. Dahlia stroked her Thestral and could see her friends still staring in shock, even looking at the scar on her wing knowing how she got it. Dahlia got onto Eclipse and then Fenrir got on behind her while Jörmungandr got on with Hela and Loki went with Akio. Dahlia turned her head to look at her brother and said, "same rules apply, do not let go of Eclipse or else you'll damage-"

"My soul," Fenrir interrupted with a roll of the eyes, "I do listen, and I would never put my soul in harm's way. What fun would any of you have without me?" This seemed to make the others smile and laugh.

The twins and Hermione moved out of the way, still surprised at seeing Thestrals but they waved their friend goodbye as they began to run towards the portal and take to the sky, leaving behind Hogwarts and all the worries that Midgard brought.

Going through the portal, into the fresh air of Niflheim, Dahlia took a deep breath when she saw it all. The portal seemed to have opened over the forest near the castle of the old kings, she could see the castle and not too far away, she could see sight of the city and of the palace. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes and put her head back slightly, happy to be back.

But then, a large crashing sound was heard, and Dahlia immediately opened her eyes to see a small ship crashing through the atmosphere, the back of it on fire as it crashed through the troop and everyone only just managed to avoid it safely. Akio shouted, "YOUR MAJESTY, THAT'S-"

Akio didn't even finish his sentence as Hela already pulled Zelda away from the troop and headed towards the now crash sight. Akio went to turn to his Thestral just as Loki shouted, "DAHLIA, GET TO THE PALACE, NOW".

As Akio and their father disappeared, Dahlia looked back to Fenrir who looked to her and their eyes locked for a moment then he smirked, and Dahlia smirked back knowing neither one wanted to go back to the castle. A few other soldiers followed as Dahlia turned Eclipse around to follow the rest of her family and she was surprised when no more followed as she expected them to in case of an attack which made her think was it someone that they knew and knew wouldn't be a threat.

The landing was a bit hard as they came down fast, but Eclipse managed it and just in time too as Hela, Jörmungandr, Loki and Akio appeared to have pulled the ship door off its hinges. Dahlia and Fenrir ran to them as they ran inside, and Akio immediately went to the back of the ship to deal with the fire and began to order the soldiers that followed to help put it out before the ship explodes, while the family went to the front of the ship.

Dahlia and Fenrir got to the front of the ship to see Hela kneeled next to the pilot's seat, her hands covered in blood as she was pressing down on the wound while Loki stood to the other side saying healing spells. They looked to Jörmungandr who stood surprised and he looked to Fenrir and said, "it's Tora".

Fenrir moved forward wanting to see the person to confirm who it was, and he gasped when he saw her and stood back. Dahlia walked forward with caution as she knew very little of the Tora in front of her. She knew very little, most of what she knew was what she overheard when Hela tortured the Asgardian who sneaked into her birthday party last year. Tora, a sorceress who was banished from Asgard centuries ago, hated Asgardians and is a friend to Hela, so much so that Hela would trust her with a blade of Niflheim if she requested it. It seemed that what she knew was true as her family seemed to care about the woman in the seat and the Niflheim soldiers at the other end were trying very hard to put the fire out and save whatever part of the ship they could.

She approached slowly and coming in Hela's line of sight, Hela looked at her and said, "Dahlia, I need you to perform a healing spell, you're better than papa and I".

Dahlia nodded, knowing she could ask questions later but for now someone needed her help. She walked around the chair to the side her father was on and he stopped chanting to give her some room. Finally, she got a look at the mysterious Tora. A dark blonde with light blue tips at the end of her hair, blue eyes and pale skin, but Dahlia was sure she would have much more of a tanned complexion if it wasn't for the blood loss. There were cuts and bruises and burns all across her body, the leather-like material pants and top she wore were cut as it seemed she had been tortured. The greatest problem was a large mass of blood coming from her chest.

Tora locked eyes with her, and her eyes widened slightly, and she opened her mouth the speak but only small amounts of blood came out. "Don't talk," Hela said, then looked to Dahlia, "just heal her enough so that we can get her to the palace".

Dahlia nodded then held her hands over Tora and said, "sana quid agis nocere, sana quid agis nocere" her magic emitting from her and touching Tora, healing as best she could. Tora began to shake and almost scream so that the boys had to come forward and help hold her.

Loki said as he held down an arm, "Tora, you have to stay still".

Tears filled Tora's eyes and she tried to stay still but turned her arm in Loki's grip and instead held his hand and tried to speak, "you're free, all of you," she began to cough up blood as she said, "Dahlia's alive…she knows…"

"Who knows? Who did this to you? Tora, where are the rest of the crew?" Hela couldn't help but ask.

Tora now struggled to breathe, and Hela imagined the worst had happened to the rest of Tora's crew but no one on the ship expected Tora to say, "Angrboda".

This surprised everyone on the ship, so much so that Dahlia stopped the spell and opened her eyes in shock at the name of her siblings' mother. Loki shook his head and said, "she's dead".

Her eyes drifting closed, Tora took slow breaths as she said weakly, "she knows about all of you, she wa…wa…wants revenge".
