Tara was sitting on top of the roof of one of the huts in Dragon's Edge. It's been a week since they partied with Asgardians and met her relatives. She couldn't stop thinking of the information that Odin gave her that shocked her for the rest of Tara's life.

Her mother, Fiona Aaberg, was alive.

She still can't forget what Odin said to her at the night of the party.

The Castle of Asgard, all the Norse Gods and Goddesses came to celebrate the welcome party of Tara. They were drinking, eating, laughing loudly, and singing gibberish or yelling. Her friends were having a blast with the Asgardians. Astrid, Heather, and Ruffnut were chilling out with the Valkyries. They idolize these women warriors. Moana and Yasmina were talking with Te Fiti, Sif, Frigg, and Freya, enjoying the goddesses' company, while Draco sat next to Te Fiti, enjoying the peace next to her. The rest were partying with the gods. Coral was being tossed into the air by Magni and Modi, the trio laughed in pure joy as they brought Gil into the air. The poor amphibian man was screaming in surprise, as he was tossed into the air. Tara was leaning over a pillar, arms crossed and smiling at her friends.

"I see your friends are enjoying themselves."

Tara turns to the Allfather himself, Odin, coming towards Tara and stands next to her. Tara simply shrugs her shoulders at her grandfather as she watches her friends mingle with the gods. "It's...hard to explain but...I'm happy." Tara said to Odin, "I got to know some of my godly side of the family, I beat up Loki with Lord Draco, and..." She smiles at her friend, mingling with the gods. "...my friends having fun. Thanks for throwing me this party, Lord Odin."

Odin smiles at her, "You are very welcome, Tara, but please, call me grandfather."

Tara couldn't help but smile at him, "Are you sure? You are the Allfather and I'm just a mere mortal."

Odin chuckles at her in amusement, "Who is also a half god, and I don't mind, I am just happy you're safe and sound, and that you found wonderful friends." He said, looking at her with a kind smile.

Tara chuckles at him, "Great friends, although I am still getting used to having a godly family." Tara said to Odin, a sad smile forming on her face, "Wish my mom was here, she would love to party and watch me and Lord Draco kick Loki's butt!" She grins at her last words.

Odin smiles and gently places a massive hand on her shoulder, "She would've very much loved to come here, but only to see you happy."

Tara smiles again, thinking about her mother's kind smile. She looks back at her friends, watching them as Thor shows them Mimir's Head. He was telling them some tales of old. Gil was not too comfortable with a talking head while the Thorston Twins attempted to hold Mimir. Luckily, Nasir was holding them at the back of their collars of their tunics, preventing them from disrespecting the wide head.

"She's probably smiling right now at Valhalla." Tara whispers out, watching as Magni and Modi were tossing Mimir like a ball, earning angry yells from the head.

"...Tara...there's something you should know." Odin spoke, causing Tara to look at her grandfather in confusion.

"What is it?"

"You recall the event when the storm took down your ship?"

"How can I forget? I still get nightmares from that day." Tara said softly, looking down on the ground.

"What if I tell you that your mother did not drown on that day?"

Hearing this, Tara's head shot up and looked directly at her grandfather, staring at him with wide and shocked eyes, "Wha...what do you mean? I couldn't find her, it-it was dark and...I couldn't see her and..."
