*Flashback*
Cheering from the crowd could be heard in a distance, Ems walked down the hall wearing her traditional Valkyrie armour walking proudly towards Odin who was sitting on his throne. You gave a short smile towards your Valkyrie friends, your best friend Brunnhilde being one of them, and your big sister Astrid who was smiling reassuringly towards you. Odin lowered Gungnir to the floor with a big thud, signalising the crowd to be silent. You looked beside Odin to see Hela who looked at you with a unreadable face. You bowed down and looked up at Odin.

"Ems Thyrasdottir, you have fought many great battles, proven yourself to be a great warrior. Your time is here to fully become a part of the Valkyrie's, as you have been trained through many years." Odins voice echoed through the big hall.

"Ems Thyrasdottir, do you swear to fight and defend Asgards people from all threats that may appear as long as you live."

"I swear." You said calmly.

"Do you swear to defend and fight for the throne of Asgard, even if your own life is at cost."

"I swear."

"Do you swear to fight at your full force alongside the Valkyrie's, even if you know you will die."

You took a quiet breath.
"I swear."

"Then I King Odin of Asgard welcome you to the Valkyrie's. May you take place in the halls of Valhalla upon your death." Odin looked at you as he spoke.

The crowd cheered as you raised up and turned around to look out over the crowd, the blue cape flowing in the breeze as you walked over to Brunnhilde and Astrid.

"That's the 47th Valkyrie ceremony so far this year" Brunnhilde spoke. "This one was the best out of all of them" Astrid said as she looked towards me. "I'm proud of you Ems" She said. "Thank you Astrid, but I'm sure Odin has forgotten who I am already" I sighed. Brunnhilde let out a small chuckle "Yes he probably has, but don't forget that all Valkyrie's have a mark" She said as she turned around her wrist, showing her Valkyrie mark, I slowly turned my wrist around to see that I had gotten the mark too.

"Ems?" Sif spoke with a concerned tone. You snapped back to reality. "Yeah?" You answered.
"You ok?" You realised you had dozed off. Again. "Yes, just got lost in a moment there" You said as you looked out to the crowd of cheering Asgardian's. "Get ready, the ceremony is about to start" Sif shot a quick glance at you, but quickly turned her attention to the crowd.

There he was. Thor Odinson, heir to the throne. Arrogant, cocky, war seeking and wannabe king. Check. Still, somehow, he was your best friend.

He walked proudly down the hall with a grin on his face, holding Mjolnir in his hand. He gave a cocky grin at you and Sif who stood right under the throne at the bottom of the stairs. "Oh please" you and Sif said in unison, rolling your eyes. Queen Frigga stood there too, not looking to proud of Thor's big entrance.

You moved your glance to Loki, who didn't look to pleased. Loki seemed cold, but deep down you knew he only wanted to be seen as Thor's equal, Odin didn't exactly try to hide that he favoured Thor. Frigga on the other hand treated them both equally. You and Loki often talked and you considered him a friend. Lady Sif and the warriors three only thought he made mischief wherever he went.
