"Once, mankind accepted a simple truth, that they were not alone in this universe. Some worlds man believed to be home to their gods. Others, they knew to fear. From a realm of cold and darkness came the Frost Giants, threatening to plunge the mortal world into a new ice age. But humanity would not face this threat alone. Our armies drove the Frost Giants back into the heart of their own world. The cost was great. In the end, their king fell. And the source of their power was taken from them. With the last great war ended, we withdrew from the other worlds and returned home to the Realm Eternal, Asgard. Here we remain as a beacon of hope, shining out across the stars. And though we have fallen into man's myths and legends, it was Asgard and its warriors that brought peace to the universe." Odin stops walking along with two little boys and a little in front of the source of the Frost Giants' power as he finishes his story.The blonde boy that stands next to the little girl is named Thor. He is the eldest son of Odin. The dark haired boy that stands on the other side of the older Asgardian is named Loki. He is Odin's second born son. Freya is the name of the little girl, who stands in between Thor and Odin. She is very close friends with both sons of Odin. Her father, Njord, died just before she was born and she never met her mother.
With his hands folded in front of him, Odin walks to stand in front of the weapon as he adds, "But the day will come when one of you will have to defend that peace."
The little boy with dark hair looks up at his father as he asks, "Do the Frost Giants still live?"
Thor looks over at Loki, looking past Freya as he puts his hand to his chest and says, "When I'm king," he looks over to his father and pretends to fight as the two other children look over at the blonde, "I'll hunt the monsters down and slay them all!" Thor looks back over to his younger brother and smiles before he looks back to his father. "Just as you did, Father."
Odin looks between both of his sons as he advises them, "A wise king never seeks out war. But," he pauses as he looks back and forth between his sons before he continues, "He must always be ready for it."
Odin walks away as the three children turn to each other. Thor and Loki give each other a knowing look as they smile. Both boys run after their father, leaving Freya behind. Thor shouts to the little girl over his shoulder, "Try to keep up Freya!" The dark haired girl lets out a laugh as she runs after her two friends.
When Freya catches up to the two boys, they have taken each of Odin's hands into their own. Thor looks up at his father as he states, "I'm ready, Father." Freya slows down her pace as she stands on the other side of Thor, taking his hand as they walk with Odin.
Odin looks down at the blonde before he looks over at his youngest son, who says, "So am I."
All three of the children turn their attention to Odin, who says, "Only one of you can ascend to the throne. But both of you were born to be kings."
