Red flame 2

Chapter 1

Were battles ever over? Or was that something we told ourselves, to catch a break? So much has happened, but we eventually move past it. And as always, we move along. Nothing lasts forever though, especially not peace. That's not something we get the luxury of seeing. After I destroyed Asgard, again, to save everyone, we rebuilt. But on Earth. In Norway. On an exceptionally large scale.

As far as earth, No one wanted to be here. And we didn't want to stay, but no where else was this lenient. Most of our people built their homes from the ground up, using stones and wood. More modern but still keeping it simple. Most people learned what technology was in order to keep up and seem, human. And maybe that was okay, but It seemed like, one war led to another. It had been six months since we defeated the demons, and I lost the Red Flame. I can feel her every now and again. Her essence.

            It hurt more than anyone realized. And I understood what the fear was about. When you have something consume you, just to save your life later, and you lose it, it takes a hold of you. Mom and dad decided to move back home, because we were on earth and they could fly over. We built what seemed to be a mansion on a large scale, thanks to dad and his money, and mom and her income. Anna could stay as long as I watched her, but she was seventeen and for a few months she would remain that.

            I was to be twenty-two in a few short months, and I still didn't get being an adult, or being a human adult. Percy and Annabeth moved in with us. Dad made sure that there were plenty of rooms for the main guests, Percy, Annabeth, Thor, Anna, Me, and Loki. And sometimes the gods. The rarely visited. To busy with their own things. I visited my kingdom below at least twice a week, to let everyone know I was keeping the above, and I meant earth, safe too, so I had to be at both places.

            So, seven rooms, five bathrooms, an exceptionally large kitchen, and a huge relaxing area later, and we had ourselves a mansion. It was no where near castle big, but it would do, and there was a pool out back. We also had an arena, or at least a large training ring, by the pool out back. This wasn't going to be easy, but we were making it work. We had been for three months now. And now, we had another battle coming. One we were all not ready for. My sister, you know the seventeen-year-old, who was human, was now engaged to Thor. Yes, that was right, she was engaged, they dated for six months, engaged and have been engaged two months no. we met them eight months ago. It's hard to believe. But it's true.

            We still done music, every now and again we would put on a small show for everyone, in the arena. They would swim, have a good time and just be together. And tonight, we were entertaining that of my parents, they did not like that Thor and Anna were engaged but she promised she wouldn't marry him until she was eighteen, and adult. Loki and I had been taking our time. He was trying to help me with my Red flame problem. It was almost hopeless. It's like she hid, or she didn't want to come out. I don't blame her.

            I was outside, training with Annabeth. We took our time, made observations, and worked on our footing. Since loosing Red flame my training hasn't been the same. I couldn't focus. She kept me balanced, now I didn't know who I was. Other than being a queen and goddess, I was really just a title. Annabeth threw a punch, I missed it, but barely. I threw a few punches, hitting her once. It didn't do much to her.

            "What time are your parents coming," She asked. I sighed.

            "They'll be here pretty soon, they jumped on a plane late yesterday, so they should be here anytime, but I am not meeting them, Anna is," I said. She rolled her eyes.

            "You can't avoid them forever Gabbie," She said. I scoffed at her.

            "Watch me," I said. She smiled.
