Chapter 4

Astrid looked around in amazement as the bus pulled up. She had never seen anything like it before, and it was much bigger than she had expected. As they climbed aboard, Dante pointed out the various features of the bus, such as the seats, the windows, and the overhead compartments."you seriously never been in a bus before??!" The bus requested fare "hey where pay your fare!" Astrid "Ah yes I do have payment Astrid took out two real gold coins" The bus driver became angry "I need real money not this fake game token money!" Astrid became upset Dante injected before things became heated and paid the fare for both of them As the bus pulled away from the curb, Astrid peered out the window, taking in the sights and sounds of the city. She marveled at the tall buildings, the busy streets, and the endless stream of cars and people. As they sat down Dante notice that Astrid looked down, "don't worry we find the sword or whatever and get you back to wherever you came from". Astrid looked up and smiled gratefully at Dante. "Thank you, Dante. You have been a great help to me," she said sincerely. Dante grinned. "No problem. I'm just glad I could help a fellow warrior out," he replied, trying to lighten the mood. "So, tell me more about Asgard. What's it like? Do you have giant sea serpents and fire giants and stuff like that?" he asked excitedly. Astrid laughed. "Well, yes, we do have our fair share of mythical creatures and dangerous enemies. But Asgard is also a place of great beauty and wonder. The skies are always filled with vibrant colors, and the air is crisp and clean. The people are proud and strong, and we have a deep respect for honor and bravery," she explained. Dante listened intently, fascinated by Astrid's description of her home. He couldn't wait to hear more about her adventures and experiences. As they chatted, the bus made its way through the busy city streets, heading towards their next destination. But why did he your banish you "did you shoplift a scrunchie" Dante said jokingly. No you moron! I had defiled his stupid orders he did not want to invade the frost giants dormant he wanted to broker peace I wanted war and to conquer a realm to show all father I was best of all of his kin Dante "if the all father... Odin is your father that means loki and thor are your brothers" Astrid nodded, "Yes, that is correct. Loki and Thor are my brothers." Dante was fascinated, "Wow, that's really cool. I bet you have some amazing stories about growing up in Asgard." Astrid sighed, "I suppose I do, but that is besides the point I need to return to asgard Dante nodded, "So what lesson did he want you to learn?" Astrid shrugged, "I'm not entirely sure. He just said that I needed to learn a lesson about leadership and responsibility. I think he wanted me to understand that being a good leader isn't just about winning battles or something the old fool was going on about something then hemidal open the by frost and I woke up in migard. Dante furrowed his brows, trying to make sense of the story. "Wait, Hemidal? And by frost? What are you talking about?" Astrid looked at him with confusion. "Hemidal is the gatekeeper of Asgard, and the Bifrost is the rainbow bridge that connects our realm to the other realms. I don't understand how you don't know this," she said incredulously. Dante scratched his head. "I don't know, maybe we just have different stories and myths where I come from I don't know much about Norse myths.you know we being in the carribbean very little snow pretty sure those frost giants would melt here" Dante said mockly. Astrid rolled her eyes at Dante's joke, but couldn't help but smile. "Well, I suppose that is a possibility," she said with a chuckle. "But believe me, the frost giants are very real and very dangerous." Okay I will take your word for it Dante thinking to himself this girl has clearly lost it at least I have idea how she got here maybe there is a airline called by frost Astrid noticed Dante's skeptical expression and sighed. "I know it may sound unbelievable to you, Dante, but I assure you that everything I have told you is true. I don't know how I ended up in Midgard, but my mission is to retrieve my Sword and the all father will allow me to return to Asgard."
