Alpha's voice was strong, filled with understanding and a fierce determination. "The Nine Realms have always been Asgard's responsibility. A concern that we have been facing for far too long is the difficulty of properly watching over and protecting each of them. That's why you're here. Nine Asgardians, nine warriors who are capable of watching over each Realm. You can learn, understand your world far better than we ever could dream. Do you know anything of the Valkyrie?"
The Valkyrie. Some of the strongest women in Asgardian history, who's stories I had looked up to as a sort of role model. I nodded.
"The Valkyrie may be dead, but their purpose is not," she continued. "The magic you have was meant to protect the millions of people who cannot protect themselves."
I felt a strange stirring of emotions in my chest; pride, fear, that same sense of determination the shone off of the Alpha Legend. "I understand." I hesitated, a nervous excitement buzzing through my head. "And which Realm would be my responsibility?"
Alpha smiled, a knowing glint in her eye.
"Midgard."
