-timeskip 1 moon- Brandon POV.

It's been one month since I been here and what I gathered that my father went to war and won. Outnumbered even and they still won. Impressive really. Now that I am a baby born during around 377 ad, means the Roman Empire is way south and going to collapse during 400 ad. Going to make a living in one of the far reaches in the world will be difficult.

As time went by only thing I do I shit, pee and suck an a titty, I never cry only when I'm hunger or when I shited me self. Which was embarrassing but can't do anything about it. My mother is one of the beautiful woman out there which means a lot know wonder my father never took any other women to bed. Dark brown hair, nice cheek bones, flawless pal skin, and when she walks in the room everyone looks at her.

As the moons gone by and I slowly grow many of the woman around my mother cuddle me restlessly. My father left because broken men raiding our land, killing our people he went personally to put an end to it. Never seen him after two moons which I spoke my first words infront of everyone. And include mama which got me loving me all day. Father gave a hearty laugh has the carried me to the hall.

-timeskip- 5 years.

Brandon can be seen running throw the village, jumping, climbing the building. People watch and see the young lord running with a smile of there faces. While some guards are running closely behind him trying to catch up. Brandon has grown over the years, taller than any child his age. Hair untamed yet kept well groomed. His eye's are the most captivating.

After some time he made it back to the main keep and the guards right behind him, many are catching there breaths, some take their helmets off to breathe more. Everyone one around smiles and laughed at them, and laughed more when one collapse on the ground. Brandon smiled and went to get them a waterskin. When he was done he went inside to see his father or mother. Brandon walks past many people and he smiles and nods to them and they same.

The hall was big, two stories high, two hearths in the middle to warm up the hall. Stone beams holding up the roof, which was covered with black ash on the ceiling, thankfully the made a way for the smoke to leave throug the top. I can see mother and father breaking their feast. I walked up and kiss mother on her cheek and greeted father.

As the sun sets and night approaches, people started to close up, the smiths stop hammering, farmers coming back home. The night sky was in full view, clear night, the stars shine brightly in the night.

During the hour of the wolf a mother was turning I. Her bed, she can feel that something wrong. She quickly gets up from her deep slumber.

Freya looks around the room quickly, eyes darting from on end to another, heart bounding in her chest louder than anything. Her breathing was rapid. Cregan gets up also and looks at his wife.

"What's wornf my love." He says with a raspy voice.

"Something wrong." Her voice trembles with urgency.

"Like what my love, the hall is closed to others, guards posted around the keep. Watching over our son and us." He tried to reason with his wife but she heard none of it. He seen her grab her blade that she put beside her part of the bed. And he quickly got up and fallowed.

She quickly left her bed and covered herself to see her son because something in her body is telling her something wrong. As the door open the men guarding quickly stiffened there stance. She payed them no mind and quickly went to her sons room. She heard the noise of her husband and men fallowing her not far from her bed room.

She bang loud at the door and pushed it open to see nothing on the bed. Just a flat bed with no outline or anyone ever one it. She stiffened in her place than heard cregan beside and look on and see their son missing.

"WHERE MY SON!!!" A loud voice boomed from the keep.

Freya quickly goes to the bed and grabs the fur blanket and rips it off to see no one hoping she was seeing a trick. The keep was in a uproar, they questioned both guards on what happen but both say the same thing. Never heard or seen anyone enter or exit without their knowledge, they sweared to Odin that no one entered.

As both husband and wife look around the keep and went out to the courtyard, they seen men going out to the town looking for their son. Till someone yelled and pointed towards the mountain, they can see it, a small outline of someone climbing the mountain.

"SON!!" Yelled cregan while Freya and tears in her eyes. Both looked at each other and ran towards the mountain to climb, clanks of armour can be heard fallowing them a dozen of them, half has torches with them.

At the base of the mountain they found Brandon small wooden wolf and knew that their son went this way. They also found the path they he climb up from. When looking up they seen the figure thanks to the moonlight. They quickly started to climb up hurrying to catch up, they moved up quickly never forgetting their step. When they made it to the top they see it's kind of flat, big enough to hide a village at the top and than some. Both cregan and Freya look over the somewhat flat part of the mountain, they see a small figure near the back and see another but a bigger person that's wearing something dark cloth.

"SON!!" Cregan yelled and charged at the person that is close to his boy. Freya didn't yell but charged with furiousity in her eyes. The men that fallowed their king and pulled out their weapons and charged. Freya was keeping up with her husband but two big men ran past her, she seen the men running faster than her but she still tries to keep up.

When they reach the unknown man the swung their swords and axes only to miss. The man moved swiftly around the men, only laughed like he was toying with them. More men joined only the same thing happen to them. Freya quickly got infront of her son to take a quick glance to see if any harm happen but seen none, only a tired look on his faces.

She look back at the person and sees him blacking and deflecting their attacks like their nothing. Than he spoke. "Enough!" A burst of energy emitted from his body and pushed everyone back. Falling backwards or tumbling to the sides. She was even blown back only the child was not touch by such force.

Everyone looked up and see the man black robes change in their very eyes. The hood fell and shown and tall old man mayhaps 8 to 9 ft tall, with a flowing bread and one eye, in his hand is a golden spear carved in runes. Golden armor came out of knowhere, runes engraved in said armor. Than just behind him a woman came out of the mountain to only to see a open passage like a blade cut through it but enough to look natural and looks like enough to for two carts to pass side by side. The woman is tall as the man with pale face, blue eyes, and her hair covered in gold. Her wear was beautiful green dress with runes embedded in the cloth like never seen before. A blade strap on her side.

"Had fun love." A voice so angelic that anyone can get lost in.

"Some." He said with wisdom in his voice.

Freya quickly stumbled back up to stand in front of her boy and both notice her. She look at the giants before her with unwavering gaze, dagger in a reverse grip. Both laugh at her not knowing who she is drawing her blade at.

"Daughter enough." Said the tall womanly figure say. And everyone including cregan look at Freya with shocked expression. Freya caught by her parent and slow started to shift before their very eyes. She grow up to 8 ft, hair black as night, her pale complexion with high cheek bones made her more beautiful, her eyes are grey colour just like her son. Everyone gasped at her new look even cregan with his mouth open. She didn't look at her husband till her mother nudge her.

She gave a quick glance at her mother before looked down at her husband with a complex expression on her face, than her son that she birthed. He started to wake up and see he was not I. His room or not the main hall for the fact. He look around rapidly only to stop at the woman before him, she's tall and probably the most gorgeous woman he ever seen.

Soon he look to the right and left of the gaint girl and see people that he never seen before. His mouth was wide open, the black hair girl knelt down and gently close his mouth and spok. "What did I tell you about leaving your mouth open… bugs will fly in there." She said with a soft yet gentle voice.

The warm feeling engulf him and murmured . "Mama mama." Brandon stuck out his arms to hug his mother. She envelop her son in a tight hugs seeming they'll disappear in a instant. Cregan slowly gets up and made his way towards his wife. She notice him making his way towards her but she was scared on what will he do. But what next surprise her he brought her into a hug which caught her off guard but welcome it. Brandon look at his mother with fascination and wonder not knowing what's going on.

Everyone around watch not knowing what to do most of them were sheathing their blades. The elder man step forward and everyone look at him.

"My children, you all know me by Odin allfather." He said with power and wisdom in hive voice. Everyone around even cregan knelt without hesitation. Many started to pray to him, asking forgiveness for attacking him only for him to have a belly laugh come booming out. "Hahaha. No need children I would have done the same. Now come daughter you must go back to guard Niflheim."

"Father! I can't leave him."

"I am sorry daughter… by the old laws we can never come back to Midgard. We allowed you because of your mother. Five winters we left you alone now it's time." He can see the heartbreak in his daughters face. He look to him wife and can see sadness on her face. He walked to his wife to speak with her meanwhile hela was giving a teary kisses and hugs to her baby.

After one last hugs and kiss she let go of her baby and love to walk towards her father and mother. Not knowing when she will every meet her loves again. Odin look at his daughter with a sad face, he never seen her this happy before. Not even when they conquered the 9 realms so with one selfish this he did something unimaginable that would shock the world one day.

"Come… cregan I will show you something, bring my grandson." He turn away and went toward the gap in mountain Freya followed her husband, hela look at cregan than followed also. Cregan look at his men to stay and will be back and to never follow them.

When walking through the pass Odin spear is emitting light to lead the way. They been walking for an hour now and the sun was just shining through the creaks making it look magical. Brandon was up already looking around and walking beside his mom and dad playing like nothing happens. Passing one final curve he can see and opening.

Cregan as a shocked look on his face on what he was seeing. His up in a cliff area and to his left look like a path carved in the mountain that leads down to the land before him. A big valley surrounded by mountains, a river that leads down where the valley opens up to more land.

The valley takes a full day and a half to reach were it open up to more land and a full day to reach side to side. When the valley opens up there more open areas big trees and wildlife. Cregan can see a small mountain in the valley that looks like it divides the valley into to. And beyond the valley cregan can see a giant tree in the middle that reaches the sky. Brandon has a face full of shock. Hela the same while looking at her father.

"This land is sacred to your house and line Keep it a secret… in time people will find out but when it come you'll be ready. Now come step in the circle." Below him where runes started to form and glow. A bubble formed around the Odin family, in the next second their back the the entrence where they disappear in the mountain. When they left more people came a talk about what happen.

The people around them jump back the reach for there weapons but stop when they seen who came out. Odin and Freya, hela and cregan with little Brandon around them. Odin, Freya and hela look around towering over everyone around. Everyone knelt when they seen Odin and Freya.

Freya step forward and adress cregan stark and Brandon. Odin and hela followed suite.

"King cregan stark. Step forward." Everyone watch at their king walk up and knelt infront of Odin wife. "Odin granted you a gift and I shall do the same. The Winters will be hard and this will lessen the burden for what's to come." Her sword appeared In her hands and stabs the rocky hard ground. The blade went in 5 inches deep, she than chanted something and than water came out the ground. The whole mountain shock and people screamed but cregan didn't he look on in awe.

In front of Freya came water out the mountain and flowed down towards the edges of the cliff. On to there north another water came from the ground and flowed down to the east. Steam seems to come out the water and when people reach for it it was warm. It was a natural hot springs the came from deep within the mountain. Cregan knelt and thank Odin and Freya for what they did for the land of the north and its people.

Hela held her child one more time and left to her father and mother. A few tear slip and fell on the ground for it to the rocky land to turn to a small patch of green grass. No one seem to notice.

Odin said on more thing before entering the bifröst where it leads to Asgard. "When the child grabs a hammer and chisel the bifröst will open again and help with arrives."

With that Odin, Freya, and hela walk into the bifröst where different shines of colour came out, red,green,purple, etc… when the bifröst disappears into the clouds it left a mark on the land, that would stay there for centuries to come.
