Return To Asgard

I smile as she grabs my hand "We have a pit stop to go to first thought." She looks at me questioningly but we vanish before she can ask.

We appear again in an endless expanse of black causing Angela to look around with wide eyes. Almost instantly a green light illuminates as branches grow from seemingly nowhere and reach out to us.

From the branch, Yggdrasil rose in the same childish wooden form. "You have to come to cover your portion of the deal?"

I give her a wry smile "Not exactly. I plan to hand over the responsibility to my subordinate." I say with a small chuckle. I raise my right arm causing a dark black liquid-like substance to leak from my hand.

"Valaau Lou Tupu." The words spill from my mouth with a deep gut-wrenching metallic sound.

From the liquid rises a seven-foot-tall tan man with tattoos covering his whole body except for his face. He has four arms and bloodshot eyes. He would appear scary if he didn't look as though he has been deprived of food for years.

"Talofa lava, loʻu tupu." He says as he lowers his head to me ignoring the other two as if they are beneath him.

I nod in return "Hello, Whiro. I have a request for you. You may decline if you wish, I will get someone else if you do."

He raises his head meeting my eyes "Anything within my abilities."

I raise my eyebrows "How do you feel about going dragon hunting?"

He smirks "I feel as though I have not feasted in 4000 years. Killing a dragon would be difficult at this moment."

I nod, "Of course. I will give you access to any lieutenant you wish to summon. Not only that, I will allow you to devour the dragons… I've already killed the largest dragon millennia ago so only small ones are left anyway."

He nods as his smile grows "Then I wish to have Styx aid me."

I raise an eyebrow "You were close to that greek goddess back then weren't you."

He shrugs "She is the right type of crazy."

I laugh "I guess to each their own." I raise my right hand again as black water leaks from my hand similar to when I summoned Whiro.

From the small puddle of water on the infinite black 'floor' rises a woman shrouded in a black cloak. Beneath the hood, you can see a stunningly beautiful woman with large eyes and porcelain skin.

She drops to a knee when our eyes meet "My King."

"Aid Whiro in purging the nest of dragons in the lower portion of this realm. Also, you may request to change circles of hell you know. Your river can be in the infinite cavern you know? Hades is more than powerful enough to survive without you." Her face blushes at my words.

A black stygian sword appears in her hands as she quickly turns to Whiro trying to stab him in the gut. With a wide grin, Whiro holds her arm keeping himself from being impaled by the sword.

"What did you tell our king?" Styx asks with an edge to her voice.

He lets go letting the sword pierce his gut causing Angela to gasp he puts up his four arms defensively "I said nothing." A mad grin adorns his face.

She twists the sword in his gut "You better not have." She pulls out the sword as she turns away. "We can talk about moving my river later."

Seeing her walk away I smirk "I can leave it to you right?"

Whiro gives me four thumbs up and then pounds his chest. "Leave it to us."

I nod as I turn to Angela "Let's go." I offer out my hand again.

Angela's eyes linger on the wound in Whiro's gut but she still nods and grabs my hand. Once again we disappear and appear again at the end of the rainbow bridge of Asgard.

Angela looks on at Asgard unimpressed but I feel there is a bit of anxiety behind that stone face. She turns to me before I can even say anything.

"You have odd underlings." She says with a wry smile.

I shrug "Those two are special cases. One is insane and the other borders insanity. Your father is in the main hall of the palace… probably." I say as I gesture for her to lead the way.

She nods as she walks towards the giant palace that sits front and center. We walk silently until we reach the entrance of the palace where two Asgardian warriors are standing guard. Seeing us approach they turn to us ready to draw their weapons.

"Stay still until we leave," I speak with pride causing them to freeze in the odd positions they were in while grabbing their weapons.

Ignoring the incident Angela continues inside. It is fairly obvious where everything is as the halls are massive and only contain the main rooms on the first floor. Eventually, we make it to the Grand hall where Odin is sitting on the throne Frigga by his side with the walls lined with warriors, and Thor kneeling in front of him.

All the warriors quickly turn to us drawing their weapons, pointing them at his. I am about to command them but before I can holy fire spews from the ground gutting off the edges of the room leaving only a path from us to Odin. Thor stands up as he faces us while Odin appears angry.

"What is the meaning of this Lucifer?!" He says aggressively.

Frigga on the other hand has tears rolling down her eyes as she meets gazes with Angela. Her hands cover her mouth as she mumbles "Aldrif."

Frigga runs down the hall wrapping her arms around a confused Angela. The flames on the sides fall without her concentration revealing the even more confused guards.

Frigga pulls back as she cradles Angela's face with loving hands. "Aldrif, my daughter, how are you here? How are you still alive?"

Angela looks at her confused "You are not my mother." she states plainly.

A pained look flashes past Frigga's face. "Yes. Your mother passed away giving birth to you… I took care of you in her stead. That is until the Queen of the Angels killed you." Her voice cracks at the end.

"My Mother saved me and raised me in heaven under the guise of her own child." Her eyes soften a bit as she speaks.

Frigga hugs her one again as more tears fall "Good… Good. Thank the ancestors."

Angela sighs as she hugs Frigga back lightly. Odin stands from his throne with wide eyes. "Is that true?" he looks at me "Is that true Lucifer?"

I nod my head as tears well up in his eyes. He too walks over to Angela, he puts a hand on her shoulder as the two girls are still hugging.

They meet eyes "It is good that you returned to us."

Thor's arms go wide "Great! It is nice to meet you, sister."

Angela pulls away from the hug but still holds Frigga's hands "Don't get this misconstrued I have not returned. I just wanted to meet you guys since I just learned of you not long ago."

Frigga has a sad smile on her face "Of course… you are a grown woman now after all." Odin gives a hard nod agreeing with her words.

"Thank you. Thank you for letting us know you are alive. If not for me but for Frigga. She had many sleepless nights and nightmares for hundreds of years after you were taken from us." Odin says as he puts a hand on Frigga's back.

Frigga looks at me then back at Angela "Would you please stay for dinner?"

Angela looks uncertain and turns to me looking for an answer "I will leave it up to you. 'Honey'." I give her a teasing smile.

Angela sighs "Yes, we can stay for dinner."

Thor holds his hammer high "Fantastic! A feast! I shall grab the alcohol! We will have to talk over a drink, sister." He smiles at her as he marches out of the throne room with a purpose.

Frigga smiles at his departing figure but I look at Odin "What happened to your other son?" Frigga's face falls again showing anger.

Odin sighs "He has been banished for trying to kill his own family. He will return when he sees the errors of his ways."

My eyes narrow at his words "Are you fucking stupid?" My words seem to echo in the throne room.
