Sadly it seemed that father had promised not to bring any soldiers. Which is why I guessed he brought me. Jotunn or not I was a killer. I was born a killer. My spikes and fangs, my horns and claws. I was better then any solider. And father knew that

As soon as we had set foot into Asgard there were already soldier waiting for us there. They quickly surrounded us and began to take us to the palace. I had never felt more uneasy in my whole life. Looking to father I saw him
motion for me to calm down and not cause a fight.

I stayed tense but walked. Once we had arrived to the palace I looked up to the old man sitting up on his oh so mighty chair. "Lauyfey. I thought we agreed no soldiers." Odin said with an eyebrow raised.

Father only smirked. "This is no solider. This is my son." I met the mans eyes with my own, the spikes on my wings almost planting them selves into the carpet below. Just from one look I already knew I didn't like him. I knew this called for me to bow, and even if it repulsed me I did so.

Putting one arm across my stomach and my other in the air, my left wing also following it i slowly toke a bow. "I am Ælfsige Of Lalin. Pleasure to meet you." Then there were gasps all threw the court. While I just smirked.

I looked around with a sigh. Why was I here? I had been down in my cell quietly reader when suddenly I'm dragged out, dressed up and now here, next to my mother.

All she had to say was that I was here by the Allfathers request to watch as both realms came to a peace. When really this was probably a show for me to know that I would and could, be sent back there with no problems now that the 2 realms where at peace with one another.

I watched as Lauyfey walked in and felt the same hatred for the frost giant burn. I saw no point in this agreement. From what I had been told is that Asgard would be giving more to the horrid creatures then taking. And I still saw no real reason to be here.

My attention snapped back when I heard the AllFather start to speak. "Lauyfey. I thought we agreed no soldiers." He said annoyance clear in his voice as I now realized that a boy stood next to Lauyfey. He had wings.

Pitch black wings and black horns to match. His skin was the whitest thing i had ever seen. Almost as white as the fur he was wearing. It reminded me of freshly fallen snow.

"This is no solider." Lauyfey had started. "This is my son." The court room grew quiet now while i grew angry. This monster. So what he leaves me out to die and then decides that he was now ready to become a parent? I quietly brooded where I stood while mother gave me a little squeeze on the shoulder to calm me down. I inwardly sighed and continued to watch.

The winged boy toke a small step forward and bowed. "I am Ælfsige Of Lalin. Pleasure to meet you." Gasps could now be heard and i could feel mother stiffen beside me. I quickly shot her a confused look but she toke no notice her eyes now completely focused on the boy. Lalin? What in odins name was that?

The AllFather slowly stood. "What kind of game is this Lauyfey. Lalin was whipped out years ago. None of them survived." This time it was Ælfsige who answered. "Ah but alas I am the last of my kind. And Lauyfey might not be my birth parent, but he did raise me after all." Whispers now began to spread around the court while a small chuckle came from the winged boy.

I stared at him with curiosity. The last of his kind? Well it did make sense as to why I had never seen something of his magnitude before. But it still didn't answer my questions. Where did he come from? WHY was he the last? How many more where there? and what the bloody hell was Lalin?

"Silence!" Odin demanded as he sat back down as everyone quickly shut up. "Well, what ever the reason for a Yêu Quái's survival. We are not here to discuss that. We are here to discuss a peace between my realm and yours." Lauyfey nodded and Ælfsige stepped back.

"First, I would like to make sure I get everything I asked for." Lauyfey said to which a small yet audible sigh was heard from Odin. "Yes. Your realm will be repaired form what Loki had done to it. And you will have excess to our realm any time your wish. And your .. Son.. Gets to spend the month here as planned."

I could see the shock in ælfsige's face as he turned to stare at Lauyfey. Lauyfey only gave him a little smile. "Son. You know you will never be king if Jötunhiem. We talked about this many times before." I watched as the Lauyfey tried to calm Ælfsige. "So I hope perhaps you find a new purpose here in Asgard. Something that you can find interest in." It was clear enough that Ælfsige wanted to argue about this but Odin began to speak again before anything could be said.

"With this settled I now bring the contract that will declare our peace."

⊰Ælfsige: POV⊱

Yes of course I knew that I would never be king of Jötunhiem. I knew this. But what exactly was father thinking to just .. Leave me here?! Like his dead beat son Loki?! Was I nothing to him?!

Furious now I tried my best to hide it but my wings easily betrayed me and jabbed there spikes in to the carpet below. 2 men in formal clothing brought out the contract papers and a pen. "Think about this father. Must I really stay here for a month?" I hissed.

Father payed no attention to my words as he more then gladly signed the contract, while I just watched with wide eyes of disbelief. "A-are you actually doing this? Are you just leaving me here! For one fucking month? Am I nothing to you?" I yelled now more then angry my wings spread slightly.

What I wasn't prepared for was father grabbing my horn and giving it a harsh tug making me whin in pain. Shit. "You are my son. And you will never be king of Jötunhiem as you know. But I will not tolerate you just skipping around the palace and fucking that little friend of yours. So yes I am considering this and I expect you to behave." He angrily said in my ear before pushing me away leaving me to rub my horn in pain.

That was it. I was going to spend a month in Asgard.

All alone.
