Adopted

Prologue

Life was great. You, your father Hermod, and your mother Lara lived a happy life. From the moment you were born, they loved you with all their hearts, and they've never stopped loving you. Your mother was very close to Frigga, queen of Asgard and wife Odin, the mighty Allfather and king of Asgard.

When you were a child, you spent a lot of time with Thor and Loki, sons of Odin and Frigga, but when you were around 5 years old, your mother became weak and ill. You didn't see the brothers for a very long time. Your father took care of your mother. He quit his job, and the only thing he did was take care of your mother, but it wasn't enough. After months of fighting, your mother had died. No one knew why she was so ill all of the sudden, but no one could do anything about it. Your father was driven mad by sadness. He refused to get back to work, and months, perhaps even weeks later, you became poor. Your father didn't make any money, and he wasn't capable of taking care of you anymore. That's when Frigga suggested to take care of you and your father. You hadn't seen her in a year and a few months, but you still remembered her well. When she showed up you noticed that she hadn't changed a bit.
Your father, who first refused the offer, later changed his mind. He wanted someone to take care of you, and he trusted Frigga. But your father himself wanted to get his life better on his own. He gave you to Frigga, knowing she would take good care of you, and promised you that he would come back for you and that he would take care of you again when everything would be okay. This all happened around the age of 6, almost 7.

Frigga took care of you like you were her own child. You had spent more time with Thor and Loki again, and everything felt happy again for a moment, even though your mother was gone and you hadn't seen your father in a while. But after months of living with Odin and Frigga in the palace, you heard the sad news that your father had died too. He had died of sadness. You were completely broken, and even though you loved Frigga, you became more distant, but not only to her. You barely spoke to Odin, and you stopped seeing Thor and Loki. Thor always tried to cheer you up and make you laugh, which sometimes worked. Loki on the other hand never did any of that. He always had deep conversations with you, which most of the times made you feel better, and relieved, that you could share your feelings with someone.

Years later, when you had still locked yourself in your room, you started to feel bad. Frigga always tried to come closer to you, but you shut her out, the same way you shut out Odin. And even though Thor and Loki somehow tried to come closer to you, you shut them out too. Frigga had always taken care of you. She loved you like you were her own daughter, and gave you the love you needed. You had decided to stop shutting the people out who cared for you. You wanted to live a happy life again.
