Chapter 5: Meeting Thor in person
Hiccup watched Ashalla talking to the dragon.
"What the hell is the dragon saying?" Hiccup asked, having no idea where Ashalla was talking about.
"He's calling me Tyra-Odinna." Ashalla said. "But it's not my name."
"It is your name!" the dragon said, louder this time. "You are Tyra-Odinna Lokida Thora, daughter of Thor, niece of Loki and granddaughter of Odin!"
"What!?"
Ashalla sat there, in complete shock. Her eyes were wide open and stared at the dragon.
"Ashalla?" Hiccup asked after a few moments. "Are you alright?"
Ashalla didn't move and didn't talk.
"Asha." Hiccup kneeled down in front of her. "Please, just say something!"
Ashalla's lips started to move, but no sound came out.
"Asha..." Hiccup tried again.
Ashalla sat down on the ground, right in front of the Night Fury dragon. She was completely silent.
Hiccup looked at the dragon, into its deep forest green eyes. Eyes like his own.
The dragon turned round and laid down on the grass 9 feet away from them, leaving them alone.
"Asha, you can tell me." Hiccup said.
Ashalla closed her eyes. "It's still a shock for me, and I don't even know if it's even true." she said. "I think I need some time to think."
"That's alright, take the time you need." Hiccup encouraged with concern in his voice. "But I'm going to Gobber, he wanted to teach me how to construct hammers."
"Sure, you go to Gobber. I'll stay here for a while." Ashalla said with a sad smile.
Hiccup left the cove, going back to the village.
Ashalla stayed while the clouds in the sky above her grew darker.
Suddenly, something dropped out of the sky, falling right on Ashalla's head.
"Auch!" she called and looked up to the sky, seeing a flash of gold in the clouds. "Huh?"
Ashalla looked around her, finding the object that had hit her on her head. She reached out for it and grabbed it to take a look at it.
The certain object was a round plate inscripted with ancient Norse runes on the edge, and a hammer in the middle of the plate. The plate wasn't big, but it was quite heavy to hold, even for Ashalla. That was because of it's material, the plate was made of massive gold.
The Night Fury came towards her, looking at the plate as well.
Ashalla looked at the dragon. "You know what this means?" she asked.
"It's the key to open the portals of Asgard. It's only given to blessed offspring from a god." the Night Fury replied.
"But how do I even open it?" Ashalla asked.
"Using your powers." the dragon replied. "Your father blessed you with certain powers, you've got to use them to open it."
Ashalla nodded, she understood. "I understand that, but how do I find out what my powers are?" Ashalla asked.
"Say the inscripted words." the Night Fury said.
Ashalla looked at the runes again.
Suddenly, the runes changed before her eyes, forming the normal words: 'In times of great need, a Child of the Thunder will rise, arming the Gods with a Power of the Mortals to destroy a big Enemy threatening those who Believe.'
"In times of great need, a Child of the Thunder will rise, arming the Gods with a Power of the Mortals to destroy a big Enemy threatening those who Believe." Ashalla spoke.
The skies started to roar out like a horde of hungry and angry dragons.
The ground beneath Ashalla's feet started to shake.
Then, a very big lightning bold struck down from the sky, into the rock Ashalla was sitting on.
Instead of blowing the rock up and slingering Ashalla somewhere around the cove, the rock was intact, Ashalla still sitting on it, but with a blonde haired man with a red cape and an iron armor beside her.
"Thor!" the dragon cried out.
"F-f-father?" Ashalla asked, very overwhelmed by the strucked lightning.
"Hello Tyra." Thor said and smiled.
There was a death silence between the two of them, the Night Fury observing them from 7 feet away.
"You really look like me." Thor said, taking a lock of Ashalla's hair between the thumb and index finger of his right hand. "You have my eyes, my hair, but truly your mother's beauty."
Ashalla sighed. "Is the woman I grew up with my biological mother or not?" she asked a few seconds later.
"Not really." Thor said.
"How do you mean?" Ashalla asked.
"Your real mother, one of Asgard's Valkyries, planted you inside that woman's womb, unaware there was another child growing in there." Thor said. "Valkyries have some magic, the reason they can plant their children in mortal woman's wombs."
"Didn't mom want me?" Ashalla asked.
"No, she did want you. But it's not really usual that a Valkyrie gets pregnant, and that with a child of a god." Thor said. "We both decided to do this, so you would grow up a strong lady. A lady worth of defending Asgard either as an Immortal Valkyrie or as a minor god."
"I see. Well, this dragon here said I needed to learn my powers, will I open the portal to Asgard." Ashalla said. "Can you tell me, what the powers are you blessed me with?"
Thor smiled. "Straight to the point huh? I like that." he said, laughing for a moment. "Well, your powers are actually quite simple. As you may know, you can lift anything and you have quite a preference for the hammer. From this moment on, you possess a shape-changing power that will change with your mood and you'll be able to control Mjölnir, you can call it when you need it and it will only answer to a willing call."
"Anything else?" Ashalla asked.
"Well, you're able to create lighting." Thor said. "Even without Mjölnir, you can create lightning with your bare hands. Oh! That reminds me..."
Thor grabbed in his pockets, showing Ashalla a golden necklace with a blueish silver lightning bolt. "This is Üborl, the first small lightning bolt Mjölnir ever created. It's only given to a child of mine and no one else can wear it but you." he told.
Ashalla smiled. "Thanks dad, for telling me all this." she said.
"No problem, my little Bolt." Thor said, ruffling through Ashalla's blonde hair.
Ashalla hugged her biological father.
Thor didn't know what to do for a moment, but wrapped his arms around his daughter as well. He smiled, this was how a father should bond with his daughter.
The Night Fury purred, this was a good start of a father-daughter relationship.
I hope this was good. Thanks for reading!
