The Palace. It was a small realm, probably about the size of a tiny island; how it was able to separate from Asgard and still manage to connect itself with a River was a mystery to Van. Mysteries, perhaps that's all he had ever known in his life.
He was now standing alone in the hall, its skies, almost covered by the view of Asgard in its entirety. Odin had left minutes ago after he proposed the deal, a deal which Van agreed on.
The war between the Aesir, and the humans led by Harvey was probably starting soon; Van initially planned to get in between that, even gathering an army of those who wished to live a life without the fear of being oppressed by the Aesir.
But a war… another war. It was as if that was the only way he knew how to solve things. But when Athena opened up the idea of living in a world they created, a 10th Realm; the idea of him not having to thrive just to survive surfaced in his mind.
