The Eternal Valkyrie: War of the Realms

Prologue

Previously on The Eternal Valkyrie

She donned the mystical items that had been bestowed upon her and began her journey. Those who saw her in battle spoke of the deadly swift footed Valkyrie in awe.

The skeleton looked at him curiously before extending its hand.

'The Valkyrie shall soar once more.'

"Awakening me has set in motion an age-old conflict that must be resolved otherwise Midgard may be swallowed up by endless wars."

"I as a Night Fury refuse to be called Fluffy!!"

Hiccup's alarm went off a few hours later only to be met with the fireball of a cantankerous dragon.

"Hello Camicazi" She said in an ice cold voice filled with hatred. "Have you come to die?"

"WHAT IN MERLIN'S GREASY HAT IS THAT!" Snotlout now shouted completely freaked out and they all looked out of the windows and mirrors to see a dragon the size of a mountain chasing them.

"I have to know. You're the Allfather. Why couldn't you just stop this when it started?"

Dagur headed back out to meet with the strike team while grinning. "Just you wait Hiccup, you'll be kissing my boots in no time."

"What do you mean fire breathing dragon?!" Someone shouted. "Have you been into the rum again?!!!"

"HOW DARE YOU SHOOT AT MY HICCUP!!" was shouted in norse causing Hiccup to look at the statue where Astrid was glowering at the men while brandishing a gleaming axe.

"WHahahaha" Dagur laughed hysterically as the bus rammed the Royce from behind.

Snotlout cheered and then quickly put his arm back over the skirt as he was doing a remarkable Marilyn Monroe impersonation.

"Viggo there are ants in my pants." Ryker muttered as they were hiding in the grass.

"What!! Oh come on guys. Wouldn't you be very grumpy if you get killed on the day you were going to receive immortality?"

Snotlout suddenly stopped as realization hit him. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING DRESSED AS A HOT WOMAN?!!!"

"Sir, Sutr has begun to move."

"He does have a point." Dagur stated. "I'd hate for my evil hairdo to get wet on a rainy day. Presentation is everything!"

"Gungnir always flies straight and true." Astrid stated, the old Norse legend still fresh in her mind.

"So....... how do we get to Asgard Astrid?" Hiccup asked curiously.

Astrid weighed Gungnir in her palms before smiling and pointing it at a wall. The spear started glowing and shot a beam of colorful light at the wall. A portal of swirling colors emerged causing the twins to 'ooh and aah' while Snotlout hid slightly behind Fishlegs who merely rolled his eyes.

Astrid looked at the portal as she gripped Gungnir in one hand while she held Hiccup's hand with the other. The group walked as a collective through the swirling portal.

Hiccup took a small sip of the strong Asgardian mead that had been poured for him and his friends by the exquisitely dressed servants that lined the brightly lit hall. Next to him sat Astrid who was smiling at something Freya whispered to her. Heimdal sat to his left and gave him a knowing look every time he glanced at Astrid. Heather and Valka were a bit farther down the table entertaining a small red haired girl that was asking them all sorts of questions about Earth. Meixiu and Dagur had cornered their guide, Jerry, that sat further down the long golden table. He could not hear what they were whispering about but it looked like they were ganging up on the lanky dark haired man. Not for the first time did Hiccup wonder how so much had changed. It was barely a week ago that they had arrived in Asgard, yet while tensions with some Asgardians were still high, they were all beginning to warm up to the gang being there.

He looked to see Snotlout frantically taking notes from Freyr, and Gobber and his Father were intently listening to the tales Ve and Vili told. Odin's two younger brothers had returned to Asgard not long after the gang and Odin decided to throw a grand welcome feast for all. Which was how Hiccup and the gang had ended up seated at a long ornate golden table in between various Asgardians. He wasn't blind and saw what Odin had done. They had been purposely seated near the Asgardians they got along with. Speaking of the King himself, Odin sat at the head of the table with Gungnir at his side, his wife Frigg was seated next to him. Two large black ravens sat on either side of his chair, and it looked like the birds were having a conversation. He saw Odin roll his eye at one of the cawing birds. The two seats on either side of the monarch however were empty. Those were the seats for the princes he had been told by Heimdal and while they had expected Loki's seat to be empty it was surprising that Thor's seat was as well.

All in all, Asgard was just like how Norse mythology described it, yet at the same time it was not. The realm was grand and well cared for. Golden buildings gleamed in the sunlight, mountainous areas could be seen along the horizon as well as grasslands, waterfalls and exquisite gardens containing the most exotic plants, and yes, there was a rainbow colored bridge. The realm's splendor could not be described in just a few words. While the realm was as imagines, it's people were not. Hiccup mused as he nursed his drink.

Toothless, being the curious dragon that he was, popped out of his tattoo. Stormfly followed suit, both of them took their smaller forms as they drooled over the delicious food and aromas wafting around the hall. Toothless wiggled on Hiccup's lap and stuck his head out over the table before taking a large bite out of the meat on Hiccup's plate.

"Toothless!" Hiccup admonished as the little black dragon merely peered back at him with wide innocent looking green eyes. Fishlegs, who sat across from him chatting with Sif, tried to stifle his laughter, the word being tried. Sif raised a brow at the antics little dragons that had come out of their tattoos. Stormfly was picked up by Astrid as she called Heather and Meixiu over to hear Freya's tale. The little blue Nadder let out a squawk as she was just about to hit on Toothless. The whole hall was rowdy with celebrating Asgardians until Odin tapped his staff three times on the floor. The sound it made reverberated throughout the large golden hall, quieting all those present.

Everyone turned to look at Odin, even the twins who had been in the process of explaining the sanctity of chickens to one of the cooks.

"May I have your attention," Odin said, standing up and addressing the room. Hiccup knew that he had initially planned to wait for his son to give his whole court the news at once, but it was getting late and the party was dragging on. He did wonder where Thor had gone off to as he had seen him in the courtyards this morning. "It pleases me to not only welcome back my younger brothers to Asgard from their long journey through the realms," At this Vili and Ve gave a short bow "but to also welcome a particular group of Midgardians who not only saved their realm but also returned to me Gungnir which had been stolen." A lot of the Asgardians clapped at this. "Let it be forever known that these Midgardians shall be considered friends to the Aesir for their courageous deeds." The hall erupted in loud cheers but those were soon drowned out by the shaking of the floor and walls of the palace.

"What is happening?!" Odin shouted as the shaking didn't stop, the large golden chandelier fell from the high ceiling and Asgardians scattered to avoid the debris. A loud explosion tore through the palace and the hall was besieged by falling debris as the doors were slammed open with tremendous force.

Hiccup's eyebrow rose in shock at what greeted everyone when the dust cleared. "This can't be good." Toothless said as he took on his full form and stood, plasma blast ready, before Hiccup. Standing in the now ruined doorway stood a figure none would have imagined.
