chapter 2 lez go

The All-father was seated upon hildskjalf the great high Throne of asgard, The throne, infused with Asgardian magic allowed the lord of Asgard, who was naturally keen and omniscient to look over the 9 realms and gaze at much of whatever was occurring in the universe

Unfortunately, no amount of magic could make the damn thing comfortable to sit on, a fact that its occupant was becoming aware of more and more

Odin was leaning far back in his seat, arms outstretched his right arm grasping the mighty spear Gungnir while the other was rested upon the golden armrest of the throne listening to mimir giving a report about crop yields and golden apple harvests to him and the gathered royal council, it was a subject, whilst vital to the survival of the kingdom was not made for easy listening and several of the advisors in the hall were already starting to nod off

Whilst he was hardly an inattentive king, Odin was finding it very hard to give his advisor his full attention his mind was currently occupied by matters other than how many bushels were brought in,

Thus you see my king, The forecast is currently 20 billion bushels and 300000 golden apples up 5 percent from the previous forecast and up 8 percent from last year based on conditions from last year yields are expected to average 200 bushels per harvested acre up 5 bushels- Mimir's voice had the unfortunate quality of being monotonous and even odin in all his endless patience was tiring of it

Yes, thank you Mimir, just as detailed as always, i will review the accounts and make any changes that are needed, My lords i believe we are finished for the day, I thank you all and will inform you of my decisions before the morn Odin offered his closest advisers an appreciative nod and dismissed them with a wave of his hand

The other occupants of the throne rooms bowed and left and odin let loose a long waiting sigh once he knew that they were gone Any longer and i would have fallen into the odinsleep,.. I am too damn old for this

Odin had once been the greatest warrior alive, his name was known and feared across the cosmos, he is and was a king of warrior Gods, but he missed his days of battle, even now he is one of the most powerful beings in all existence but he is mired in administrative struggles that he never thought he would have to face

The Allfather stepped out onto a balcony looking on the exercises that were happening below

He sighed deeply as he wished that the warriors were training for battles that would never come, he hoped that they would never have to face the horrors of war But he knew better that battles were always coming, Asgard and the 9 realms were at peace sure, but it was a peace, built solely on the power of Asgard and would come undone as soon as those keeping it faltered

As his father Bor had once said, 'A wise king never seeks out war, but must always be ready for it' How must one be ready for it, Odin thought

One very tangible way stood below him, The mighty armies of Asgard its soldiers were constantly training their equipment masterfully made and enchanted by the dwarves, The einherjar forces of the eternal realm were envied, feared and respected by all throughout the universe, these armies had put a stop to kree encroachments onto the 9 realms, they had gone toe to toe with kryptonian armadas and forced them back, armies commanded by either himself or the old veteran commander, the God of war, Tyr

An army always ready for war always discouraged it and there were few foolish enough to challenge the one before him

But odin knew that these alone would not be enough I Asgard was to prosper the people would look to their princes

In Thor , there was an indomitable warrior's spirit, as despite being only 5 he was already charging headlong into any challenges and problems he as the eldest and therefore heir to the throne ensured that Asgard would have no lack of courage in the days to come

In loki was the acumen and cunning needed to run a kingdom as he soared high in his studies, and was already excelling in magic under the guidance of Frigga, he can advice Thor, who is quite brash

And finally Kal, if what Odin had seen of Kryptonians from high and noble houses applied to him and if the changes Odin had implemented worked properly would be extremely great in strength and speed, he could as powerful as whole armies,... many a night Odin had spent thinking... what if an enemy does not simply yield, at the sight of Asgard's power, a mighty leader of armies

What if the Norns, those tricky weavers of fate had given him that in the form of Kal

Yes that could work, with Thor ruling as king with strength and compassion, Loki as Grand Advisor planning and fostering Peace, and Kal as the as their champion, the defender of the Throne and of Asgard and a pillar for the brothers to lean on

The sound of laughter echoed out from the royal residence

Inside it appeared that ragnarok had occurred early

Currently Thor was having the time of his life

He had 2 brothers now, and he did not much care how

he was interested in teaching their newest brother in playing his favoured game, battling with figurines, except, there was no epic battle happening, what happened was that his brother clutched the figurine of his father tightly and covered it in saliva while covering it in saliva and bite marks, which instinctively got a scream from Thor

That's father

as he attempted to yank the figurine away from his little brother but his little brother was impossibly strong for his age and though he could have taken it, Thor was afraid that he may harm Kal, this quickly turned the battle into a full blown wrestling match

No matter how much fun they had, this only ended up alarming Loki who had just been an observer initially started crying as he saw thor wrestling with their new brother,.. well crying and magic...

while he was no great user of magic like his mother he still did know a few basic spells, levitations for example

well with Loki crying, his magic went quite out of control sending toys flying everywhere and inadvertently into Thor and Kal and what made things even more chaotic was that the two were actually enjoying it

they continued their wrestling knocking over cupboards and wardrobes, all the while Frigga was just looking at them and internally laughing 'oh yes The sons of Odin in all of their might' she thought to herself

Odin for his part decided to wait a few moments before interceding, believing that his mere presence would diffuse the situation

It infact did not

For his troubles the Allfather had to dodge quite a few figurines a book and what looked like a cup that Frigga had set out for the children he was unsure of the last one because of the need to turn his head or lose his remaining eye his efforts to impose his presence in the room did not go unnoticed as his wife looked at him and smiled while shaking her head

AHEM Odin coughed loudly, That always seemed to work on his advisors and unruly nobles so surely it would work on children

Again it did not, The children, being children simply got louder and louder completely failing to notice the new arrival in their midst, The king was now at a loss as to his next course of action, maybe magic would work ?

Okay little ones thats enough exitement for one day Who wants me to read a story Frigga spoke and immediately The boys went quiet, but the smiles on their faces was enough to convey what was needed

Hours passed as Frigga finished up the story she noticed that the boys had all dozed off to sleep, Frigga put them all to sleep before she and Odin retired to their chambers

It could not be that hard raising 3 children right? Frigga told Odin and before he could reply a loud crash was heard from the boys room along with roaring laughter

Whatever you say my love Odin said as he got back up
