------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the party ended with Thor being super drunk.

I was invited to talk with Odín.

Finally, the moment I had been waiting was finally here, I would finally get to talk with the man in charge.

"Greetings." Odin said as I entered the Throne room.

"A pleasure to finally meet you." I bowed, "Alone." I added.

"Did you enjoy the party?" Frigga asked, taking a seat beside her husband.

"It was quite the party." I nodded

"I'm glad." Frigga smiled at me warmly.

"I heard you wanted to talk with me." Odin began, "Well, you are here, so talk."

Straight to the point, I can respect that.

"Well, I wanted to propose an alliance of sorts between Asgard, and me." I replied.

"Asgard already has an alliance with earth." Frigga replied, "We are responsible for Midgard's protection."

"I know to some extent about that, but…" I sighed.

Odin catching on, chuckled. "You think we are not doing a great job with that, right?"

"Yes." I nodded, "Look, nothing against you or Asgard, I know for a fact you can't be babysitting us at every turn."

Odin nodded, "We only interfere if Midgard can't handle the situation."

"Exactly, and that brings us to this talk." I smiled, "I want Midgard to be able to handle anything."

Odin raised an eyebrow, "How?" He asked, his only eye on me.

"As I am right now, I am the second strongest human in the entire universe." I began, a bit salty. Carol was stronger than me, "But even with my strength, I can't defend the earth, not like I want to."

Frigga looked at me, "What could possibly threaten Midgard so much that scares you?"

I chuckled, "Thanks for the compliment, really. But we all know there are beings out there in the cosmos, beings mad for power."

"The Mad Titan." Odin stated.

I blinked in surprise. "Yes."

"He won't make a move for any of the nine realms as long as I am alive." Odin reassured me.

"With all due respect, sir." I sighed, hoping that what I was to say wasn't going to insult him, "The day will come when you won't be around anymore, and we will have more than one problem to deal with. Problems Asgard won't be able to handle."

Odin glared at me, before leaving out a sigh. "Yes, Asgard is not ready to handle her or the Mad Titan for that case."

"Her?" Frigga asked.

"Another threat the universe as a whole is facing." Odin replied, shoving the subject down the rug.

"My point is, none of those threats will make a move as long as you are alive." I continued, "They know you can stop them, kill them, so they will stay back, move without igniting your wrath, but when your final day comes, they will crush everything you have ever protected."

Odin sighed. "You are Yao's apprentice alright."

Yao's? "Who?"

"You know her as the Ancient One." Odin chuckled.

Huh, so she had a name, odd, my power never showed me, perhaps she never saw herself as Yao, at least not anymore.

"So what exactly do you want?" Frigga asked, "If these threats are waiting for my husband to pass away, I am with you, we need to prepare. Though, you will have to excuse me, but… I don't think you will live to that day, we Asgardian have a long lifespan, and Odin still has a few thousand years on his belt."

"He knows that Frigga." Odin said with a sigh. "What he's saying is, I will die during his lifetime."

Frigga looked at me in shock, "What?"

"I had some visions." I lied.

"Can it be avoided?" Odin asked.

"Not sure, but it should be." I replied.

Odin chuckled, "I forgot how cryptic Yao was with her visions, absolute points and all. Is my death an absolute point?" He asked with a smile.

"No." I shook my head.

Frigga looked at me, "Then what can we do to avoid this?"

Kill Loki? If it wasn't for him, Odin's life force wouldn't have faded away, or free Hela, she was also sucking on his life force.

"Not sure, but I will help you avoid that to the best of my abilities." I declared.

"Is that all you can say? Can't you at least tell us how?" Frigga pressed but Odin stopped her.

"Frigga, the future is ever changing. If he saw my demise, and speaks about it, his knowledge and power to stop it goes away with him sharing it. Right now, he knows what could happen, and perhaps has a chance to help us." Odin sighed, giving me a knowing look.

"Will you help us?" Frigga asked.

"Well that's the idea." I nodded, "Though, like Odin said, I'm not entirely sure I can change what I saw."

"So, what exactly do you want from Asgard?" Odin asked.

"Power." I replied, "I need power, training, anything Asgard can offer in my pursuit of self betterment."

"You want Uru equipment." Odin replied, shocking me, how the fuck did he came to that conclusion, I didn't even mention that.

"If possible." I nodded

"Uru is a metal only the gods are worthy to wield," Frigga said.

"You would have to prove you are worthy of being called such." Odin nodded.

"Being called a god?" I chuckled. "Yeah, that's a big red flag on Midgard, no thank you."

"You will get what you desire, when you prove yourself worthy of it." Odin replied.

"Fair enough." I nodded.

"In the meantime, feel free to train and be on Asgard," Odin added.

"About that, is there any way I can buy a house here, for vacacional purposes?" I asked.

"We can provide you with one, if you are willing to pay for it in blood." Odin replied.

"Blood?" Asgard real estate was a bit too edgy for me.

"By helping Asgard in battle." Odin explained, "We have a few battles here and there with the enemies of Asgard."

"Oh, then sure." I nodded.
