"This way, quickly" I whisper to Thor while we travel as silently as possible down a large corridor, in the direction of where we think the dungeons are located in this place.
When we reach a doorway, we walk down a long winding staircase where the cells appear to be.
"Hela?" I call out quietly.
"Over here" we hear her voice just before we approach.
Thor breaks down the cell door with ease and we find Hela inside, tied up with some sort of rope with magic dampening properties, similar to one's they use in Asgard.
Thor tears the ropes off her easily so she can be free.
"You must be Hela?" he says.
"And you are?" she looks him up and down.
"This is Thor. He came here to help us".
"Is this the one you were banished for?"
"No, this is his brother. My husband is locked in a cell apparently".
"My father, yet again proving that he is nothing but an old fool".
"You are the son of Odin? How very interesting".
"Okay, enough with the introductions. We need to find that bitch now, so let's go".
"My part in this endeavour has run it's course" she announces suddenly.
"So you're just going to leave, now?"
"You and I will meet again one day, Krystal. Just remember what you promised me in exchange for my help the next time our paths cross, and do what needs to be done for you to return to your true love".
"I will" I tell her and we shake hands before she leaves.
"She seemed nice" Thor adds naively as she disappears from our view.
"She really wasn't" I tell him truthfully.
I couldn't help but hope that I'd never have to see that woman again because if I do, she wouldn't hesitate to kill me if I go back on our deal. She said that her time to return to Asgard would come soon enough, but hopefully not that soon.
We walk back through the darkness, in the direction of the room I'd seen my mother in earlier. Thor hears something approaching us from behind and we're both struck by an unknown force that puts us on our backs.
"That hurt" I wince in pain.
"Get up and go on without me before it comes back".
We both get up off the ground and when I run away around the next corner, the unseen creature can be heard again. I cover my eyes when the entire corridor illuminates with lightning, and the sounds of thunder shake the ground beneath my feet.
I come back around when the light finally dims and see the charred remains of whatever the hell that was that attacked us, with Thor inspecting it's corpse.
"If she did not know we were here before then she certainly will now, Lady Krystal".
"Let's not keep her waiting then".
We both reach the room and can see the light coming from inside, but once we get closer to the doors, they swing wide open by themselves.
She knew I was here for her and was inviting me in. I hesitate for a moment before stepping inside, with Thor still following closely behind me.
She's just sitting there nonchalantly, like this was just any other day and we'd seen each other yesterday.
"Little dove" she smiles.
"Mother" I reply with my mouth dripping with disdain.
She tilts her head and takes measure of the god behind me.
"I take it that this is the fiancé then?"
"Ex fiancé to be exact, but let's not get hung up on the details".
"No matter. You were barely worthy of the mortal man you married, never mind such a handsome god".
After everything she put me through, I've had enough of this woman.
"I'm your daughter, not some random woman who you think stole a man from you. So now, after all these years, I only have one question for you mother. What the fuck is your problem!?"
"You daughter, are my problem. Always so perfect and beautiful, even when you were a baby. In all honesty, I just found myself despising you".
"You're supposed to love me. That's what a real mother is supposed to do!"
"And thanks to me, you'll never know how being a mother truly feels. The constant pain and anguish of knowing you've been replaced by someone younger".
"A kindness, right?"
"Exactly. Now I have you here, little dove, I would like to offer you a choice".
The doors suddenly close behind us and Thor is quickly bound in chains, his mouth covered, and his hammer falls to the ground near his feet.
"Join me, daughter. Join me or die".
