Chapter 1

Heimdall's POV
After the Dark Elves left, and Frigga's funereal ended, I was called into Odin's room to talk.

"You wanted to see me, sir?" I asked, taking off my helmet and sitting down.

"Yes. I wanted to say how disappointed I am that you let this attack happen!" he yelled.

I was a little shocked at first, but I let him continue.

"You have powers that let you see everything that happens in the nine realms, why couldn't you see the ships?" Odin asked.

"Sir, I was able to see their first ship, despite them using a cloaking device. But, unfortunately, they had a bigger one that had somehow slipped my vision-" I explained, keeping my cool.

"Clearly" Odin commented, interrupting me.

"-so I immediately ran to the Bifrost and activated the barrier. But, one of the Elves got a hold of some of our technology and shut it down, allowing them to attack us. My point here, sir, is that I did everything I could to protect Asgard" I explained, hoping it would convince him.

"You didn't do enough. I expect you to be a better Gatekeeper, from here on out" Odin snapped. A better Gatekeeper? How could I be better than what I already am? How could he put this much pressure on me?

"Yes, sir" I said as I exited the room. What else could I say?

"Be better" Odin called after me.

'Be better' I thought, repeating the words in my head.

Be better.
