Selene
I had dinner with my family last night. It definitely went better than I expected even though I didn't speak much. But their acting will not save them from what I am about to do to them after we defeat Asgard.

In the morning, my father called me to the meeting hall. On the way there, I see someone else coming out of the room. They were very tall, blue, and they had red almost glowing eyes. I've seen this kind before...

My father follows them and escorts them out. He notices me when he returns.

"Selene! I see you found your old armor. Good. I was getting tired of watching you walk around in those--" he speaks but I interrupt him

"Was that..."

"Laufey" he confirms my suspicion. "We are going into battle, honey. My enemy's enemy is my friend, especially when Odin is controlling his biological son and hier" he explains

"Right... You asked to see me?"

"Actually, he did".

He leads me inside where Zeus is sitting waiting for us. I don't hesitate to run to him and hug him.

"How are you, kid?" he asks me

"I've been better" I admit

"So I've heard".

We pull away and I pull myself together. My father looks disappointed but I ignore him. If he wanted me to do that for him, he should have stood up for me when mother and Helios almost killed me.

"Selene, I called you here to start planning. Hyperion mentioned you know details that could benefit us in this battle" Zeus speaks

"I know everything" I state

"Everything? That is a big statement"

"I am aware".

He waits for me to continue. "Thor is their biggest weapon right now. By nature he would never agree to participate in this war, but he would do it only to defend his home. So we need to keep him away maybe by making him believe that war started from their side. He will not turn against his own people, but he will try to prevent them from fighting because he is a peacemaker"

"We don't have time for that" my father jumps in. "The wedding is happening in 10 days, we should attack there when they least expect it"

"I'm sorry, that's an awful idea. After the Frost Giants attacked them during Thor's coronation some years back, the whole Asgard will be the most protected it's ever been. We will be walking right into the wolf's mouth" I argue

"Selene, why don't you let us handle it?" he rolls his eyes at me. "You have never been in a battle field anyway".

"No, I am staying. We have 10 days to make a plan for every scenario. We have to plan within the plans! We have to plan plans that we'll do if the other plans require those plans to become the main plans! So, if you are unwilling to participate, father, there is the door!".

Loki
It's been 10 days since the announcement of the wedding and I have been doing nothing other than battle planning. My mother informed me that the lady Odin has arranged arrived yesterday, but I have no desire to see her.

The whole wedding in a few hours, is a rouge to get the strongest Greek gods here and ambush them when they are drunk which shouldn't take much time. I have put up with people getting me ready all morning, and the only thing I am looking forward to is the thrill of a battle.

I hear my door open and my mother walks in. "Give us a minute" she says to the maids. They comply and leave the room.

"Is it time already?" I ask, desperate for this torture to end
