Chapter 3: Coronation Day

Thor looked over at me as I tried to back away from the door. He smiled and said, "My name is Thor Odinson. My apologies for not introducing myself earlier… He pointed to three men standing next to him and said, "These are the Warriors of Three. Also, known as Volstagg, Fandral, and Hogun. Then there is Lady Sif." He pointed to her as she was next to him.

"I heard you say their names earlier after you caught me in mid-air." I said as I tried to hide the embarrassment from jumping out of a window and Thor having to catch me. He pointed to the man at the door who I met right before I came in. "This is my brother, Loki."

He just walked in with a couple books. He looked as if he was thinking about something. He sat down and looked at a book as Thor and the others carried on. My mind kept going back to the scene of the crime, yet it was weird. Every time I thought of the man who killed those two people, I thought of him not as a murder. I shook my head, "Now, Paige. You are just coping with what you saw." I looked at my hands that were long and dainty. Which was different to the other girl, I was. Her hands were long and a little wider. Her finger nails were very short unlike my now long nails. She was broader built and had long brown hair. I now had strawberry blonde hair. Yet, even though I looked different, I knew I still was myself.

As Thor and the others continued talking about tomorrow's preparations, I decided to go back to my room to think about all that was going on. I exited the room and walked down the hallway trying to remember which way my room was. I continued to walk when I heard a soft voice, "My dear, may I join you as you walk?"

I turned to see an older lady with blonde hair coming towards me. "Um… sure." I replied.

She was wearing a greenish dress with jewels. She stood up tall, but she was not proud or boastful. We walked in silence until she said, "What is your name?"

"My name is Paige." I answered then I said, "What is your name?"

"Frigga"

"May I ask what you do in the palace?"

"I care for Odin, Thor, and Loki."

"So, you are like their caretaker?"

She gave a small smile. "I guess you could say that." We continued walking.

I tried to think of something else to say to continue that conversation but it was no use. I had no clue what to say. Then she said, "Would you like to know more about the place you are staying?"

I nodded.

"This realm is called Asgard which is one of the nine realms which are contained in the tree of life. The tree of life is also known as Yggdrasil. This tree of life holds the universe together within its branches. You came here from Midgard which is what you also call Earth. Midgard is one of the nine realms along with many other realms. Yet to protect and watch over the nine realms there is a person whose name is Heimdall. He can see everything that happens in the nine realms."

"How do you know these realms exist? I mean you know they exist, but how do you travel to them and explore them?" I asked. I was curious about understanding the Tree of Life and also to see if I could get back to Earth.

"The Bifrost bridge allows you to travel to all the realms. Which allows you to know all these realms exist. Through the Bifrost Bridge you can go to any of the nine realms."

"So, I must have gotten here through the Bifrost Bridge?" I came to that conclusion since it seemed likely it had to be the way I came to Asgard.

Frigga paused then said, "It looks like we have come to your room. I hope you are enjoying your stay, and hope to see you tomorrow for the coronation." She smiled and continued walking.

I turned towards the door then looked back to ask what the answer was to my question, but she was gone and talking with a guard. I went into my room and walked over towards my bed. I laid down and closed my eyes.

*Knock* Knock*

"Yes?" I said in a complete daze.

"I was asked by the queen to drop of some clothes for you. May I come in?"

I went to the door and opened it to see a girl maybe not even my age.

"Thank you." I said putting out my hands to accept the clothes.

She handed me the clothes then curtsied and walked away.

I went back into my room and looked at what I was given. There was light blue dress with long sleeves with the shoulders cut out. Also, a cloak that was white with a gold silver trim with strings hanging down on the sides. There was a pair of white elbow length gloves. The dress had gold accents around the waist. Also, a symbol of a tree was on the jewelry and pendant that pinned the cloak together. Then I saw some gold bracelets that had pearls, a pair of shoes that were flats with lace, and some white flowers. I was baffled at the amount of clothes. Even if I did not remember much, this was a lot of clothes.

I looked at the dress and tried to figure out how to put in on. I laid everything out on the bed and tried to figure out exactly how this outfit was supposed to work.

*Knock*Knock*

I was just able to put the dress on as I sprinted and almost slammed myself to the door. I opened the door to see Frigga. She smiled, "It looks like blue is a good color for you. I'd glad I was right."

I smiled as I looked down at the dress. It was gorgeous. I thanked her for the compliment, as I went back into the room to grab the cloak. "Wait…. She is the QUEEN?!" I thought thinking about what the lady who brought the clothes said earlier. I bowed and tried to curtsy, but It was more like a fawn barely knowing how to stand.

"Um… Please come in." I hesitantly said.

I went back to the door motioning if she wanted to come in she could. Frigga stepped into the room as I kind of was lost for words. "What do you say to the queen of Asgard?" I thought.

"So, how is the weather?" I said. Then right after I said it, "Really, Paige you are talking to the queen of Asgard and you ask about the weather when you have a huge window in your room." Yet it seemed that Frigga, I mean the queen caught on to my 'I do not know what to say' tone. She smiled then spoke.

" Well, the weather is almost always nice here. Today, however, it is a little chillier than normal."

I smiled and gripped my dress realizing that my attempt at a normal conversation was no use.

Then Frigga said, "The coronation is going to start in a couple hours." She picked up the cloaked and motioned me to a seat. I sat down as she put the cape on me and helped me with my hair.

"These outfits can be tricky if you are not used to them. I remember when I first wore an outfit like this some of the workers in the palace had to help me." She smiled as she recalled that memory. I found comfort that I was not alone in this outfit situation, but I felt alone in everything else. The murder, getting out of here, my memories were just a few of things that I felt so alone in. It seemed everybody expect me knew what was going on. Frigga fixed my hair, and my cape which was once in a bundle with strings hanging from it. Now the strings created a beautiful weaving pattern on the sides. My hair went from a barely up bun to a beautifully designed up do with some of my strawberry blonde hair hanging down in front. On the cape was a beautiful pendant of a tree. It looked familiar but I could not place my figure on it.

Then she said, "Now, you look like an Asgardian."

We left the room as we went to the throne room. As we enter the room I see hundreds or maybe thousands of people gathered to see Thor's coronation. They all looked excited for the crowning of their new king. Odin sat on his throne and looked troubled like something was bothering him. Sif and I stood by the Warriors of Three. Loki was also there. People cheered as Thor came into the room as he waved his hammer. Thor was messing about with is hammer and trying to impress the crowd. Then he kneeled before his father.

Then Odin spoke, "Thor Odinson, my heir, my first born. So long entrusted with the mighty hammer, Mjöllnir, forged in the heart of a dying star. Its power has no equal! It's a weapon to destroy or as a tool to build. It is a fit companion for a king. I have defended Asgard, and the lives of the innocent across my realms in the time of the great beginning." Then Odin continued. Right before Odin said the word that Thor was now king of Asgard, He stopped. Odin rushed and said, "Frost Giants." He hit is staff against the floor.

Sif and the warriors of three went clear the people out with the help of the guards, but I wanted to know what happened. So, I followed Odin, Thor, and Loki. They entered a room that had odd artifacts in it. Then I saw Odin holding some type of box. Thor looked outraged. I saw dead guards and some type of creatures on the floor also dead. They were completely obliterated. Odin put the box on a pedestal. Then Thor stormed out after a heated argument with Odin. Loki followed him and I saw Odin standing by himself. Then he said, "You do not have to hide." I came from behind a pillar. I stood beside him, and said, "What is that box?"

"It is called the Casket of Ancient Winters. It is an item that was possessed by the Frost Giants, and it was used to try and create earth into a world of ice. They were unsuccessful, so I keep it here so no one can use it for evil."

"What are all the other objects?" I asked.

"These objects are types that could bring great harm if in the wrong hands."

We both stood in silence as we stared at the box. Then Odin said, "I hear you meet my wife, Frigga."

"Yes, I did. She was very nice and explained to me the nine realms. Also, she talked about the Bifrost Bridge for a moment. Is there any way the Bifrost Bridge can take me to earth?"

He looked down trying to ignore the question and said, "I must go to Frigga and explained what happened."

He walked away. As I stared at all the artifacts, many of them looked harmless. I decided to walk back to my room. I was thinking about how I can get to this Bifrost Bridge. I thought maybe I could convince one of the guards that by order of the king, I must go to the Bifrost Bridge.

"May I walk with you?"

I turned back to see Fandral who I meet earlier.

"Um… sure." I said with a stutter.

We walked in silence for about a couple of minutes then he said, "so how are you enjoying Asgard?"

"It's beautiful place, but I miss Earth."

"Earth does have its charm." He smiled as if he remembered something.

I nodded, "Yes, and a murderer."

He stopped, "A murderer?"

"Right before I came here, I saw an older man standing over two people, and then say it was not his fault even when he had a knife in hand."

"That is very strange." Fandral paused then looked at me. "So, you want to get back to Midgard?"

"Yes!" I yelled. Someone finally understood. He looked at me funny. I just realized I yelled and I could hear the phrase echo through the halls.

"Well, since you seem so excited to go and Thor is angry about the Frost Giants, I shall take you to Heimdall. Also I have nothing else to do expect wait for Thor's orders."

Fandral walked forward and took a cape from one of the guards and said, "Put this on."

"Why?"

"I do not know... because you look like you fit in with people who don't have royal status." He said sarcastically.

I looked down at my dress. He had a point. I put on the cape and put the hood over my head. Fandral also took a cape. We walked passed many guards who were curious why two people were wearing capes in the castle. As we were about to exit the gates Fandral heard footsteps after him. He turned around to see Sif, Hogun, and Volstagg.

"Fandral, we must console Thor after the Frost Giant attack." said Sif.

Then Volstagg looked at him and said, "Why do you wear a cape in daylight? That seems foolish. You stand out like a Bilge snipe in a quiet meadow."

Fandral looked agitated for not being able to get out of the castle and said, "We will follow you to Thor."

We all walked to a room to see a flipped table and stuff everywhere.

Volstagg said, "What happened here?"

Loki was next to his brother and said, "There's nothing you can do without defying father." Then Loki eyes grew wide as Thor gave him a glance.

"No! no, no, no! I know that look" Loki said. "It is madness."

"Madness? What sort of Madness?" Volstagg commented.

"We are going to Jötunheimr"

Then I heard, "This isn't like a journey to earth, where you summon a little lighting and thunder, then worship you as a god. This is Jötunheimr."

Then Fandral looked at me and whispered, "No offense."

"None taken" I said.

Thor and the others talked as I zoned out. "I kept thinking about Earth, my home. All I remember… I tried to think back to a family or a home of some sort before the murder, but I could not remember. I thought of what Loki said. With such rich lineage. "How does he know of my past when I do not even know?" I thought. My mind kept trying to think of anything before that one fateful day on Earth.

Then I heard Thor announce, "My friends, we're going to Jötunheimr."

Then Fandral looked at me and said, "I guess you are going to see the Bifrost Bridge after all."

I hope you all are enjoying the story. Please review and let me know what you all think. I want to thank you all who have made it to the end of this chapter. I have many plans for this story, and this story has a huge plot. However, it is going to be an adventure.
