"And?"

"Thor is well on his way to convincing the it would be better to join forces with us than to have those Aliens first pick at their natural enemy. A case of my enemy's enemy would have to be my enemy until his enemy is destroyed. Then I can go back to fighting my enemy."

"What are the chances of them not joining us in the upcoming battle?" Odin asked.

Queen Freya smiled at him. "Slim to none, Father. Odin has promised them ... in fact, he has given his word that things would return to normal once these aliens have been destroyed. Them and their human counterparts."

"And they have agreed?" he asked in astonishment. "I would not have believed they were so stupid."

"Thor can be convincing at times, Father. I believe they are now discussing concessions."

"Concessions? What concessions?" a deep frown settled on his brow. "What do the know of concessions?"

"They have one or two ideas as to that." She smiled. "The best one I could gleam from Thor's few spare minutes where I was able to pull his attention away from the conclave was that they demanded the High King Heimdall should allow them to at least place both feet onto the Rainbow Bridge before he killed the perpetrator. There are others but I do not want you to die laughing." She laughed, enjoying the serious joke. "Thor is giving ground and I believe the believe they can actually win ground in their eternal struggle to destroy us."

Odin shook his head and grunted. "If they weren't so massively strong and bullishly lacking in intellectual acuity, this war between us would have ceased years ago. As it is, we need their strength. Their bodies can absorb punishment like sponge water. And our allies?" he asked.

"All the Aesir worlds are preparing for war father. High King Heimdall's horn saw to that. Only Midgard has for obvious reasons been left out of the loop. That is one can of worms we do not I believe, want to open."

"Truer words have never been spoken my daughter. There is too much that can go wrong there." He thought deeply for a while. "Once these Alien creatures have been dispatched, we can turn our attentions back to Midgard."

"We have one vexing problem father; that of the Aliens and their human allies. We cannot find them. All who seem to come close disappear. We have lost twenty-two Valkyrie and for some reason or other, their Pegasus steeds as well. In the beginning they would mostly return. Some with wounds, some covered in blood. Now none return. It is as if ..."

"As if the enemy either destroys them or has found a use for them." Odin interjected.

"There is that." Queen Freya said.

"How long will it take to muster our forces daughter? I wish to show these upstarts what a god is capable of doing once he is royally pissed off."

"Two. Three days at most father. On the other hand, it will be over two or three and a half thousand human years for them."

"A nice total that will surely have them forget about us and be ripe for destruction." Odin said as he closed his one eye and planned the destruction of the Galactic Empire and those infuriating Aliens.

If he could only find them.

Authors note:

I hope you enjoyed the 1st novel of the Aesir worlds. As previously mentioned, there are 9 more to follow. Each will be a stand alone work with the last; RAGNARÖK, incorporating them all.

I would be most pleased if you would vote or comment or both, as i have no previous experience in all this. 

As of this moment i have personal satisfaction in seeing 66 readers now actively reading my novel! This alone gives me joy and itchy fingers. I need to start typing again it seems.

Thank you one and all
