Seven horses galloped across the rainbow bridge, that connected Asgard to the bifrost. The golden gates opening for them as they passed. The Asguardians stopped the horses and climbed off, Loki helping his sister down despite her protest that she could do it herself.
They made their way towards Heimdall, a dark skinned man in gold armour, the gatekeeper. Loki stepped forward with a confident smile 'Leave this to me. Gatekeeper, we seek...'
'You're not dressed warmly enough' heimdall interrupted him and Liana hid her smirk as Volstagg gave Farndal an "I told you so" look.
'I'm sorry?' Loki, questioned acting innocent.
'You think you can deceive me.' Heimdall stated.
'You must be mistaken...' Loki began to backtrack but Thor stopped him
'Enough!' He yelled and pushed past the disheartened Loki 'Heimdall, may we pass?' Thor asked the gatekeeper.
'Never has an enemy escaped my watch until this day. I want to know how it happened.' Heimdall stated, his golden irises looking at each of them in turn.
'And tell no one where we have gone until we return. Understand?' Thor asked and heimdall nodded before turning around and walking into the bifrost. The rest of the group began to follow.
'What's the matter, silver tongue turned to lead?' Volstagg teased Loki as he walked past and Liana glared at red bearded man, before patting Loki's shoulder in comfort before walking forward hearing Loki's footsteps behind her.
Entering the bifrost Liana looked around in awe, seeing the gold lines engraved into the inside shell. No matter how many times she had been in here, it always managed to entrance her.
She quickly joined the rest of the group standing in front of the opening waiting for Heimdall to open the portal. White sparks surrounded the bifrost as Heimdall began to open the door. Liana watched as the bifrost began to spin squid key and the portal flashed open.
'Be warned, I shall uphold my sacred oath to protect this realm as its gatekeeper. If your return threatens the safety of Asgard, my gate will remain shut and you will be left to perish on the cold waste of Jotunheim.'
'Couldn't you just keep the bridge open for us?' Volstagg asks nervously.
'Keeping the bridge open would unleash the full power of the Bifrost and destroy Jotunheim, with you on it.' Heimdall explained.
'I have no plans to die today.' Thor said confidently.
'None do' heimdall whispered before he placed his sword the gap in the middle of the bifrost. Liana felt felt a jolt as light enveloped her. It was an undescribable feeling being transported by the bifrost. You almost didn't feel it as you travelled by light to a different realm, but you knew that you were. It was strange and not an experience, Liana was found of.
They all landed and Liana quickly steadied herself before looking out at the blue frozen wasteland. It was extremely quiet, a large chasm lay behind them and liana only saw darkness below.
'We shouldn't be here' Hogun whispered.
'Lets move' Thor said and he took the lead as the group walked through across the snowy falls. Liana jumped slightly when one of the boulders from above crashed to the ground. The whole place was falling in to ruins, Liana decided it was due to losing the casket, the planets main source of power.
Snow whipped past the group and the only sounds were stones falling to the ground. Liana pulled her coat closer to her as a cold wind went last, she saw Farndal do the same in the corner of her eye.
The ground continued walking forward to the ruined kingdom when Liana decided to voice the thought on everyone's mind, 'where are they?'
'Hiding, like cowards always do' Thor stated.
'You have come along way to die asguardian' a cold voice echoed around them and Liana couldn't help but grip her bow tighter.
'I am Thor Odinson.' Thor yelled
'We know who you are.' Liana finally found the owner of the voice, Laufey kind of the frost Giants sat on his throne, his red eyes felt like they were staring into her very soul.
'How did your people get into Asgard?' Thor questioned.
Laufey looked away and was silent for a few second before speaking once more 'The house of Odin is full of traitors'
'Do not dishonor my fathers name with your lies!' Thor yelled, raising his hammer.
Laufey stood up and walked out of his throne looking down at the group 'Your father is a murderer and a thief. And why have you come here? To make peace? You long for battle. You crave it! You're nothing but a boy, trying to prove himself a man.'
'This boy has grown tired of your mockery.' Thor threatened but Liana turned her head at the sound of ice forming. She found that they were now surrounded by frost Giants, ice covering Thor fists forming weapons. Liana sent Loki a desperate look, knowing he was the only that could get into thor,s head and have him stop.
'Thor, stop and think. Look around you. We are outnumbered.' Loki quickly whispered to Thor
'Know your place, brother...' Thor said back.
Laufey spoke up 'You know not what your actions would unleash. I do. Go now, while I still allow it.'
Laufey stepped forward into the light and stood in front of Thor and Loki. Liana gripped her bow and slowly moved her hand behind, ready to grab an arrow if the need arose.
'We will accept your most gracious offer.' Loki spoke and Thor glared at him before returning his attention back to the frost giant.
'Thor please' Liana whispered when she saw the blonde man not making a move to leave. With gritted teeth Thor turned around.
'Run back home, little princess.' Laufey spoke and the group stopped 'Damn!' Loki said the same time, Liana spoke 'so close'.
She heard the sound of Mjolnir extending and turned to see Thor back handing Laufey backwards with his hammer. The kind flew all the back into his throne. 'Next!' Thor said and the Asguardians were immediately immersed in battle.
Liana reached backwards for a blue tipped arrow and sent it flying at an approaching frost giant, hitting him right between the eyes. The giant crashed to the ground and Liana walked backwards before sending two arrows into two separate giants at once.
'At least make it a challenge for me!' She heard Thor taunt and the next thing she knew, she was forced to the ground by a blast threw the ice. Her. bow slid out of reach and she quickly crawled towards it.
She managed to grasp hold of it just in time and whipped it backwards into a frost Giants arm, shattering the ice. The giant groaned in pain but it was soon silenced when she plunged an arrow threw his heart.
'Don't let them touch you!' She heard faintly heard Volstagg yell and she caught a quick glance at the burnt skin on his arm.
Reaching back for another arrow she realised she was out and had three frost Giants charging straight for her. 'Liana!' She heard Sif yell and she turned just as the dark haired woman tossed her an extra sword. Liana caught it and swiped it to left cutting one of the giant's heads off.
As his body fell the ground she smirked at the remaining two before leaping forward. She stopped one of its attacks with her sword and kicked at the other. She stabbed one and quickly swung around stabbing the other.
Another frost giant appeared and she only just managed to raise her sword in time stopping his sharded arm. He began pushing down and she was forced to step backwards only to stop when she came to a ledge. She could feel her back bending but she couldn't attack without letting him but her and even if she did she would be falling backwards into darkness.
A thought struck her and taking a risk she raised one of her legs and reached backwards, pulling out a silver dagger from her boot. She thrust the dagger upwards, causing the giant to cry out in pain. She quickly moved her sword and side stepped so he fell over the ledge.
She hurried back away from the ledge and run up a rock, jumping on a giant thrusting her sword through his back. She whipped her head up when she saw Farndal impaled on ice.
Loki quickly sent two small daggers at the frost giant killing him. Hogun and Volstagg ran to Farndal. 'Thor!' She screamed at her brother as she protected the Warriors three with Sif.
'We must go!' Loki yelled
'Then go!' Thor screamed back sending Mjolnir flying through a line of frost Giants. Liana placed her hand on farndal's wound, chanting a healing spell, as a blue light emitted from her hand.
However her chants stopped when she looked up at the sound of ice cracking, seeing a giant monster breaking free of ice. Volstagg quickly picked up Farndal before screaming 'run!'.
The group quickly began to run away as the creature broke free and began to gallop gaining on them quickly. Liana turned back and was filled with fear as the creature was right behind them. The ground began to break, a tower falling across.
The creature was stopped but almost trapped Sif with his spiked tail. Out of nowhere the ground began to fall under them. The creature fell when the ground beneath him opened. Liana smiled in relief only to scream as the ground underneath her broke and she began to fall.
She closed her eyes, only to feel a hand firmly grasping her arm and she dangled in midair. Loki pulled his sister up onto solid ground and she was only able to mutter a small thanks before they began to sprint back to where the bifrost brought them.
They reached the ledge, having to jump over small gaps in the ice. 'Heimdall! Open the bridge!' Volstagg yelled but nothing happened until a giant clawed paw grasped the edge. They all stood frozen in fear as the feature appeared,mired eyes mad with fury as he let out a loud roar.
The group started to back away as the creature pulled himself up. Liana could almost feel her heat beating of her chest as his shadow closed over them, she felt Loki grasping her arm and pulling her slightly behind him.
Out of nowhere there was a loud zoom and a blur of red zoomed in to the creatures mouth and out the other side. The creature fell to the ground, a hole through the back of head visible. Thor landed in front of them as the creature slid over the edge into darkness.
He turned around smiling only for it to disappear quickly. Glancing behind the, they saw they were surrounded by frost Giants, angry frost Giants at that. They all charged at them only to stop as a burst of light exploded through the darkened sky.
A dark horse neighed loudly and Liana looked down when she saw her father there, in his armour. 'Father! Well finish them together!' Thor yelled, raising his hammer.
'Silence!' Odin yelled at his son and Thor's smile disappeared.
Laufey rose to meet Odin on ice and looked at the god in front of him 'Allfather. You look weary.' He said gazing at Odin.
'Laufey. End this now.' Odin spoke.
'Your boy sought this out.' Laufey pointed out.
'Youre right. These are the actions of a boy. Treat them as such. You and I can end this, here and now. before theres further bloodshed.' Odin tried to reason.
'We are beyond diplomacy now, Allfather. Hell get what he came for... war and death.' He threatened.
'So be it' Odin said and liana's eyes widened when she saw Laufey create a dagger of ice in his hand, before she could yell out Odin rose his ss gaff into the sky casting a brings light around them sending the frost giant back. Liana felt herself being pulled upwards and the asgardians disappeared in a stream of light.
