Song: "Freak" – The Mighty Boosh
Lyrics used: "…crawling in the shadows
Must I live like a freak?"
Since then, Fandas had much better control over what powers she did have. She could levitate whatever she wished. Freyja taught her how to cast an impenetrable shield which could surround her entire body and deflect whatever was forced upon it. Her favorite power, however, was her ability to turn invisible on command. It had taken a few hundred years to perfect, but she'd gotten the hang of it, and now used it on a daily basis, whether it was to frighten her fellow kitchen workers, or to make the most of a boring day.
Today, she was walking down a seemingly deserted hallway, turning her invisibility on and off, just for practice. On the third turn, she looked behind her to see one of the kitchen workers gawping at her.
"Yes, Heidrun, what may I do for you?"
Heidrun's mouth opened and closed several times before she was able to speak.
"D-DEVIL!" Fandas blinked in confusion.
"I beg your pardon?"
Fandas instinctively looked down at herself and gasped. She'd turned herself invisible and back again while Heidrun was behind her.
"Heidrun," Fandas said slowly, "You mustn't tell anyone of this. Please."
Heidrun stood stock still, a look of utter horror etched on her face. Before Fandas could issue another plea, Heidrun had run the opposite direction, shouting "SHE HAS THE DRAGON'S BLOOD, SHE HAS!"
Soon after, the majority of the serving staff avoided Fandas like a plague. It was a rarity that she didn't hear hisses of scorn directed at her whenever she entered a room, and an even scarcer thing to make eye contact with another, as it was rumored that looking in her eyes would result in something dreadful.
While this wasn't much of a change, she was displeased to notice that her mother was also pulling away a tad. When they were in their small servants' room, she would often mutter under her breath, "An Asgardian who does magic...there goes any prospect of a decent marriage proposal."
This hardly stung; Fandas wasn't aiming to get married. The prospect of marriage was one that was foreign to her, and it frankly didn't look all that appealing.
