* 2 years later*
A nine year old was running around tidying up the queen's room with an enormous duster in one hand all the while reading a book on alchemy, Synthia now a nine year old young girl, looked much better than she had when she was given shelter here at the palace two years ago.
Her beautiful brown eyes now held intelligence, her face appeared more full rather than sunken-in, she had more smile lines around her mouth, her beautiful brown hair now much sleeker and smoother reaching her shoulder blades. her body appeared to be more filled up rather that looking like a structure of bones, and her legs had a grace and elegance which was rather difficult to attain even by some princesses let alone an apprentice lady-in-waiting.
Her eyes were furiously skimming the pages of the book, soaking up all the information as if a sponge. Suddenly she heard someone clearing their throat behind and turned around startled.
"Though I certainly do applaud your brilliant attempts at performing a circus, dear one. I'm afraid you will end up hurting yourself." Frigga said with a motherly expression.
"sorry mother, I just wanted to clean the room but this book is just so tempting i simply cannot keep it away." Synthia replied sheepishly.
Yes, Synthia saw queen Frigga as her mother, and the latter had no problems whatsoever seeing as she had always wanted a daughter of her own after Hela was banished.
Oh how vividly Synthia still remembers that day.
*flashback*
Synthia was summoned to the throne room by the all-father after her school ended. With a puzzled expression she entered the throne room and saw the all-father and Frigga sitting at the great throne. Frigga had an expression of concern, whereas Odin's face was neutral devoid of any emotion. there also stood a giant man with a begrudging expression on his face near the stone steps.
"Synthia you have been summoned here to inform you of the matter of your parents." Odin said.
Synthia was astonished, "have they found my parents? will Frigga make me leave with them?" She thought anxiously.
"your mother Anastasia Addams was a Midgardian who died after giving you birth, this man here is your father, Hall Skirdson. from now on you shall live with him and your responsibility no longer is in the hands of the throne-" Odin continued.
"-all-father I beg you to pardon me, but I shall not carry a half-breed mutt and raise her as my daughter, it's not my fault at all that her stupid mother got pregnant and died while giving her birth, sell her to a noble or execute her for all you wish but I shall not take this bitch to be my daughter." The man said with disgust and hatred clear for the little girl in his eyes.
Synthia was heartbroken to hear such vile words from her father with tears in her eyes, she ran despite Frigga's protests, and Odin's order to seize the man and throw him in the dungeons, she ran. on reaching the queen rooms she fell to the floor and sobbed with her head between her knees.
"am I so undesirable that my own father is disgusted by me? was it my fault that my mother died? am I so vile?" She sobbed miserably.
suddenly she felt a comforting hand petting her hair and gathering her in their calming embrace. It crooned lovingly in her ear soothing her, shushing her.
"am I so undesirable Frigga?" she sobbed.
"no my little one perish that thought you're a gem, a talented girl with a huge passion for everything, nothing about you is undesirable. that man was a vile creature himself and shall not harm you again, I'll never let that happen you're safe with me, it's okay." Frigga lovingly replied.
