-Chapter 17 : Frost Giants and Bor Burison, part 1 : Brother No More-

(y/n) quickly changed her dress back to her training clothes, completed with her sword as Thor and her fought their way to the gate, after (y/n) teleported them to the hallway near the palace's entrance.

(y/n) separated away from Thor as her eyes caught the sight of an Asgardian guard that was being surrounded by a group of Frost Giants. She quickly came to aid him when she saw the guard collapsed to the ground with his sword fell away from his reach. She called out her Mjölnir and hurled it to a Frost Giant who was about to lay the final attack to the guard.

The other Frost Giants turned to attack her. (y/n) pulled out her sword from its scabbard with her right hand, coating it with her magic. She lifted the sword and made a slash move, grayish blue balls of magic emanating from it and coming straight to the Frost Giants. Some balls hit straight to its targets, but unfortunately some dodged from it and came to (y/n) at fast speed.

Swoosh

(y/n) bent her body near the ground as the Frost Giants were a few feet away from her. She spun her right foot horizontally, catching some of the Frost Giants' feet.

Swoosh

Slash

(y/n) scrambled back to her feet and quickly swung her sword, slashing and stabbing the Frost Giants' body parts. They growled in agony and (y/n) finished them off with her balls of magic.

Clang!

(y/n) turned her head to look back and saw a male's back. Hegan's back. "You need to keep open your sense and guard your back, sister", Hegan lectured her, sword in his hand. A body of a Frost Giant near his feet with its head not far from the body.

"Yeah, yeah whatever", (y/n) grumbled, turning her head to look around at the surrounding area. There was a huge hole on the palace's wall, probably it was made by some Frost Giants as they forcefully made their way inside the palace's ground.

Corpses upon corpses of Asgardian guards and Frost Giants on the ground. Some of the guards' turned blue.

Body parts of Frost Giants and guards were scattered around the once-palace-ground-turned-to-a-battlefield. Blood adorned every inch of the palace. The wall, the ground, the trees, everywhere painted with blood.

"Hyaaa", (y/n) looked to side and saw a Frost Giant was running to her with his spear in hand.

Swoosh

(y/n) dodged just in time, turning her body to side. She balled her left hand into fist and punched the giant on his cheek while her sword cut the wooden handle of the spear into half.

The Frost Giant staggered back, spitting blood out of his mouth as he smirked maniacally at her. "Well, you're quite feisty, are you not? It's making me excited", he said, pulling out his sword from its scabbard. He ran to her with a blinding speed.

(y/n) watched carefully her enemy's move with her keen eyes, accessing and preparing her move.

Clang!

Her sword and the Frost Giant's sword met in the middle. (y/n) kicked his elbow but he succeeded to dodge. Then he bent down his body and tried to spin his foot.

(y/n) saw it and jumped back, throwing balls of magic to him. He skilfully dodged side to side. "Is that your best move ma-", the Frost Giant got interrupted by a heel on his face.

(y/n) waited for the right moment before she kicked him right on his face when he was distracted by her balls of magic. She quickly punched him with her sword's handle before she kicked his groin, making him doubled over. She elbowed the back of his head as hard as she could, making him dropped to the ground on his stomach, unconscious. She beheaded him. Oh Baddass.

(y/n) flicked the blood from her sword, searching for Thor and Hegan. She couldn't find Thor anywhere but she found Hegan. He fought three Frost Giants outside of the palace, near the debris of the palace's gate.

(y/n) saw a Frost Giant behind Hegan, trying to sneak an attack. She quickly hurled a ball of magic at the Frost Giant and it screamed in pain.

"Ehh I could finish him off myself", Hegan grumbled, finishing off the last Frost Giant that near him.

(y/n) rolled her eyes as she ran to him. "You're welcome", she snorted, stopping beside him.

"Do you see Thor? I can't find him anywhere", (y/n) said in a worried tone, frantically looking around, hoping to catch a glimpse of her intended's figure.

"I saw him running to that direction", Hegan said, pointing to the side where he saw Thor a few minutes ago.

"That's the direction to the Bifrost Bridge. I will go there", (y/n) said determinedly, running to the the Bifrost Bridge but she felt a hand tugged her back. She scowled as she looked back at the owner of said hand.

"Let go of my hand, Hegan, or I will punch you into oblivion", (y/n) growled, tugging her hand but to no avail.

"I will come with you. After all, didn't I promise you to take care of you? How could I take care of you if you are out of my sight", Hegan smiled down at her while (y/n) huffed and rolled her eyes.

"Come on then", (y/n) tugged her hand again. Hegan released it as they ran to the direction of the Bifrost Bridge.

-35-

After Thor and (y/n) teleported away from the hallway to the gate. Loki quickly teleported himself to the Bifrost Bridge.

Loki walked inside of the building, hiding from the Frost Giants. "Keep open the portal from Jötunheim to Asgard till I order you to change it", Loki said to Heimdall without looking at him. He walked inside the gate, hiding behind a tree beside the portal in Jötunheim when a swarm of Frost Giants ran to the portal.

Once he made sure that no one saw him, Loki teleported to the cave where he found Bor Burison. He walked with big strides from the entrance to the very back of the cave.

He stopped once he stood in front of Bor Burison's body, grinning widely. "Ahhh all done. Wake up", Loki ordered.

Bor's eyes opened in time after Loki's command, looking straight to Loki's eyes. "Listen...", Loki ordered to Bor what he should do when they came to Asgard.

---

After (y/n) teleported Thor and herself to the gate. Thor hurled his Mjölnir to a Frost Giant's head, it succeeded to knock him out.

Thor felt that (y/n) went to the opposite side but before he could turn his head to look where she goes, his eyes caught a figure leaning his body on a tree few yards away from where he stood.

Thor squinted his eyes, hoping to see the figure's face. He felt like he had seen the figure before but he couldn't put his finger on it. "Where did I see him? He is quite familiar", Thor said, walking closer to the figure while he dodged a Frost Giant's body that came flying on his way.

"He looks quite like... father?", Thor's eyes widened in recognition. There, the figure who stood so casually was none other than his grandfather, Bor Burison, who was supposed to be... dead.

'What's happening here?', Thor's mind was in a whirlwind. He, for the sake of all Asgardians, didn't know how and why his grandfather was here.

The figure looked up, grinning madly at Thor. Thor saw Bor's eyes glazed with green mist for a second and when he blinked, the mist was gone. Thor wasn't sure that he was just imagining thing or no.

Bor quickly dashed away from there to the side. "Grandfather! Wait!", Thor shouted with his booming voice but it felt on deaf ears.

Bor continued to ran so Thor hurriedly followed his grandfather but five Frost Giants blocked his way. They attacked at the same time, a coward move, stopping Thor from his pursuit.

Thor grasped his Mjölnir tightly in his hand as he watched the Frost Giants came closer. He punched the first Frost Giant that came to his field of attack and bashed the other Frost Giants' head using his Mjölnir.

Crack

Thor heard a cracking sound of Frost Giants' skull that met with Thor's Mjölnir. He quickly lifted his hand, blue lightning bolt emanated from his hand and he swatted his hand to the Frost Giants' bodies. Their bodies burned to ashes, leaving only a black smoke behind after a few seconds.

Thor looked up, searching for his grandfather. He watched a blur of black, silver and white in the corner of his sight. He turned his head and saw a glimpse of his grandfather. Thor quickly followed after him to the direction of the Bifrost Bridge.

---

(y/n) and Hegan fought their way to the Bifrost Bridge. Every now and then a group of Frost Giants blocked their way. (y/n) and Hegan teamed up to decapitate them.

"Sheesh why do I feel like they blocked our way on purpose? Because dammit it feels like a never-ending attack", (y/n) yelled in frustrated, panting heavily. This was past what she usually did when she was training with Thor or Loki.

(y/n) felt her hands and feet were shaking, too much exertion for a day but she needed to come and aid Thor. That thought was what keeping her try and try harder to fight back.

The Bifrost Bridge was not far from where they fought at the moment. It was close but felt oh so far away. And it frustrated her to no end.

"(Y/N) WATCH BACK!", (y/n) heard Hegan yelled from behind her. She looked up and dodged just in time when she saw a big Frost Giant came barreling down to her. It huffed in annoyance when he failed to tackle the maiden.

"You, weakling maiden, shouldn't be on a battlefield that filled with powerful males", it said in a mock tone, looking up and down at (y/n).

"You're not bad for eyes. I shall take you back to Jötunheim and make you as my bed warmer. It's a dream to have an Asgardian's female as a whore", the Frost Giant said, eyeing her with lust filled eyes. That comment was the last stray.

(y/n) lifted her hand, grayish blue smoke emerged from her fingertips and it grew tremendously at fast speed. The smoke grew bigger and made a big dome, blinding everyone who was caught inside it. After the smoke grew big enough, as (y/n) commanded, it exploded.

The enemies were blown away into pieces before they knew what hit them. While the allies were all fine, looking around with confused look plastered on their face.

When the dome exploded, it released poisonous gasses in the air. The other Frost Giants were killed instantly as they breathed in the gas to their lungs. And once again, the allies were all fine.

"No one can call me whore and live to tell", (y/n) said before her body collapsed to the ground.

Hegan who was mesmerized by what his friend did, watching as (y/n) fell to the ground. He rushed to her. "(y/n)! (Y/N)!", Hegan shouted in fright, gently slapping her face, hoping that she will wake up and open her eyes.

"Ugh I'm tired as fuck. Come, we need to go to Thor. I have a bad feeling about it", (y/n)'s voice wavered from exhaustion as she tried to stand but her feet were trembling. She fell and nearly kissed the ground when Hegan caught her.

"You are using too much energy. I will take you back to the healer's wing on the palace", Hegan said in a firm tone as he hoisted up (y/n)'s body and then carried her bridal style. (y/n) began to protest, the bad feeling was growing every minute.

"No! I must go to Thor! Please Hegan, let me go to him", (y/n) quietly sobbed on Hegan's chest, looking up with teary eyes to Hegan.

Hegan sighed loudly, he was a sucker for tears alright. "Okay, I will take you there. BUT you can't fight anymore", he said with finality, daring her to protest about the last part. Dear god, if she protested, Hegan will gladly tied and threw her to the healer's embrace.

"Yes", (y/n) lied, as if she will be a damsel-in-distress and let the people she loved hurt. But Hegan didn't need to know that. Dammit.

"Okay, lets go. And Oh! Your face looks like a Svartálfar's backside when you are crying, it's a mess. You know that right?" Hegan joked, loving the irritated look on her face every time he made fun of her. The remaining guards walked with them to guard the Vanaheim crown prince and their princes' intended.

(y/n) narrowed her eyes, glaring at Hegan. She lifted her hand and...

Smack

She smacked Hegan's forehead, leaving a hand print there. "Your new tattoo on your forehead looks good on you, you know that right?", (y/n) mimicked Hegan's voice, cocking an eyebrow.

"Well at least my face still way better than yours. Pfft Svartálfar's horrifying backside", Hegan snorted, looking around to make sure no enemy was around them.

"How do you know that Svartálfar's backside are horrifying? Don't say that you stalked them to look at their backsides? And you said that you aren't a pervert? Pfftt what a big lie", (y/n) scoffed loudly, smirking at her friend's shocked face.

"They flashed it at me! And it was an unpleasant thing that ever happened in my life", Hegan shuddered in horror, shaking his head, wanting to forget the horrifying memory.

"Yeah rightttt. Whaaa-", (y/n) yelled in surprised as Hegan dropped her to the ground. She saw a Frost Giant blew air to them and Hegan quickly rolled them away. (y/n)'s eyes widened when she saw the ground froze from the attack.

'Oh great. A walking freezer', (y/n) thought, quickly scrambled to her slightly wobbly feet.

The Frost Giant attacked them again. (y/n) copied his move but change it slightly. She blew a hot air, it came straight to the Frost Giant's attack.

Boom

The combined attack exploded when it met each other. That was what Hegan need. He quickly ran to the Frost Giant and stabbed it with his sword while the Frost Giant was distracted from the explosion. It dropped to the floor with a gaping hole on his chest.

(y/n) heard Thor's yell, she quickly looked up and saw Thor fought ten Frost Giants by himself. She hurriedly ran to him, wanting to help Thor, ignoring her tired body.

(y/n) ran awkwardly with her wobbly feet but she managed it. Before she came near Thor, she heard Hegan was yelling at her. She was confused as to why he yelled in fright like that.

Suddenly (y/n) felt a searing pain on her head, her sight started to get blurry. She shook her head, trying to ease the pain but that was such a bad move. Her head felt worse than before. Like someone hurled Thor's Mjölnir at her.

Thor turned his head when he heard Hegan's yell as he dodged and killed the remaining Frost Giants with his lightning bolt. He looked just in time to see his grandfather stood behind (y/n) and punched her on the back of her head. His eyes widened when he saw his intended body flew to the side and came dangerously close to the edge of the bridge that connected the Bifrost Bridge with the land.

Thor was furious, he charged to his grandfather with a blinding speed. They fought with their weapon, Bor with his sword while Thor with Mjölnir. Bor kicked Thor and sent him flying to the Bifrost Bridge's wall. Thor's body slumped down to the floor as he saw Bor walked to (y/n).

-36-

"Ouch my head!", (y/n) grumbled as she felt her head was throbbing madly. She tried to lift her hand to touch her head but failed. She couldn't move it.

'What happened to me?', (y/n) thought, trying with all her might to move a finger or something.

(y/n) felt a looming shadow encompassed her body. She looked up and saw Bor lifted his sword above his head.

Bor made a move to stab her and (y/n) closed her eyes tightly. She couldn't move, let alone roll her body away.

'Is this how the story going to end?', (y/n) thought as she waited for the blow. She waited. Waited. Waited. And nothing.

She opened her eyes and saw Hegan's smiling face hovered over her face. "What..?", (y/n) said in a confused tone. She looked down at Hegan's body, her eyes widened. There, she saw a tip of sword pierced through his chest.

Thor ran as fast as he could but he was still far away when he saw Bor's sword came dangerously close to his intended's body. His eyes widened when he saw Hegan shielded her body with his. The sword pierced through his back and chest. Thor tackled Bor to the ground before Bor could move his sword deeper.

One of Asgardian guards who came with Hegan and (y/n) quickly ran and pulled out the sword from Hegan's body. He was about to move Hegan from (y/n) when other guard grabbed his shoulder and shook his head, signaling for him to let them for now.

Cough

Cough

Hegan coughed, blood came out of his mouth, dripping on (y/n)'s chest. That was what snapped (y/n)'s attention back to the situation in hand.

"I will heal you, Hegan, just wait!", (y/n) tried to call her magic but failed miserably. She sobbed when she felt that there was not enough energy left. She could barely move her lips to speak, let alone heal Hegan.

"Y-You *cough* have no e-energy left *cough* b-beside it's t-too late n-now *cough*", Hegan's voice slightly trembled, his body collapsed to hers. Hegan's blood was seeping through her clothes and body from his wound and lips.

"No, n-no. I-It's not t-too late. I-I will h-heal you d-dammit!", (y/n) said between her sobs, she used every little energy that left inside her to accumulate it on her hand.

Grayish blue smoke emerged from her finger tips and it covered her left hand. (y/n) felt her sight started to get blurry even more as she moved her hand to the gaping hole on Hegan's back but something stopped her.

(y/n) saw through her blurry eyes how Hegan moved with a great deal as he stopped her with his wavering right hand.

"*cough* I-I, Hegan F-Freyason *cough* *cough*", Hegan muttered with difficulty.

"Please s-stop talking a-and let m-me heal y-you", (y/n) interrupted as she tried to pull her hand free from Hegan's grip but it fell to deaf ears as Hegan kept talking.

"Appoint y-you *cough* (y-y/n) (l/n) as *cough* the Vanaheim's crown *cough* princess", Hegan said as he lifted his left hand to touch at (y/n)'s forehead. Silver light lit for few seconds when his hand touched her forehead and dimmed after that. There, a small tattoo of Vanaheim's symbol adorned her forehead.

"Hegan, p-please let m-me heal you", (y/n) sobbed harder, tears streaming down like waterfall.

"I-I *cough* l-love you *cough* sis...", Hegan whispered. (y/n) heard Hegan's final breath came out of his mouth.

"N-no, don't y-you dare t-to die on me, Hegan! I w-will smack your h-head!", (y/n) threatened with her trembling voice, heavy with the sobs. She shook Hegan's body softly, hoping for him to move and say that it was just a joke.

"Lady (y/n), Crown Prince Hegan is...", the guard trailed off, he didn't have a heart to complete his sentence. The other guards moved Hegan's body from above (y/n) while one of them helped her to sit.

"N-no, no, n-no, n-no! Hegan w-wake up! Brother!", (y/n) shouted, desperately reaching for Hegan but he didn't move. His body was still, there was no sly smile on his lips, no wiggle eyebrows, no pervert glint on his eyes, no, nothing. Her pervert friend, her best friend, her brother was no more.

(y/n) screamed her sorrow, wailing loudly as her body bent down forward. Tears dropped to the ground as she screamed Hegan's name, again, again, and again.

-37-

Bor was tackled and fell to the ground by Thor, he kicked Thor away from his body.

"Go to the Bifrost Bridge and walk inside the portal", a velvety voice commanded from inside his mind. Bor quickly stood and darted away inside the Bifrost Bridge. Thor was hot on his tail as he ran through the portal inside the Bifrost Bridge.

The portal vanished once he walked through it. Bor came to an unfamiliar place, looking around he saw that there was a lot of tall and weird building.

Snap

Loki severed his control over Bor, making Bor confused as hell. Where was he?.

Bor saw a male walked near him and he captured him, holding the poor man's neck with his hand. "Where is this?", Bor asked, tightening his hold when he felt the male tried to escape.

"W-who the f-fuck are y-you! Let m-me the f-fuck go y-you freak!", the man screamed, trying with futile attempt to free himself from the Bor's hold.

"Answer me peasant!", Bor punched the man's chest with force that a sickening sound of breaking bones filled the silent night. The man's heart was beating dangerously slow as some of the breaking rib pushed it. The man coughed, blood was dripping on his chin.

"N-New Y-York", the man took his last breath before his body fell limp on Bor's hand. Bor felt confused and scared even more, he decided to just destroy everything until he found the way to go back to Asgard.

Mike read everything with a horror look as he waited for the damn elevator to stop at the art department's floor. "I'm dead? I mean my doppelganger is dead? That sucks", Mike muttered, scowling when he found out that Hegan was dead to save (y/n).

"But the dude was saving (y/n) so it's okay. The dude should get a reward for his nobility tho.. Damn Mike! this isn't the right time to say this!", Mike scolded himself.

"Damn elevator! Moving too slow for my taste!", Mike scowled, tapping his foot impatiently on the elevator's floor.

Ding

"Finally dammit!", the elevator's doors opened. Mike hurriedly walked out to the direction of the illustrators' studio, ignoring the guard who greeted him. Didn't he know that Mike was in a dire situation? No time for pleasantries dammit.

Bang

Mike forcefully opened the door, making most of the illustrator' eyes focused on him. His eyes scanned around the studio to find Esad Ribić. He found Esad was busy drawing his current project on his drafting table. Mike walked there with big strides, arriving in no time.

"Esad my friend, can you please help me again?", Mike said straight to the point, pleasantries be damned.

Esad jumped in fright when he heard his boss' voice out of blue. "S-Sure Mr. Freeman. What can I do for you?", Esad said, putting down his smart pen on the table as he turned his body to look at his boss.

"You still remember about the glowing comic right? Well, I need you to draw another note for me. You need to do this as quick as you can, my friend's life is in danger", Mike said it in a breath, making him panting when he was done talking.

"Y-Yes sir", Esad said as Mike gave the comic to Esad's hand. Esad really wanted to ask what happened to his boss' friend but refrained himself because it was none of his business.

Esad opened the comic to the blank page beside the freshly drawn page. His eyes widened slightly when he saw a character that looked like his boss was dead. He shook his head after that as he took a pencil and started to draw a scene where (y/n) got a note.

Esad did it as fast as he could. It finished in no time. "What do you want to write in the note, sir?", Esad asked politely, looking up at his boss who stood near the table. Mike told Esad what he wanted to tell (y/n).

".......Loki was the mastermind behind all of the events that were recently happened. There, I think that's enough", Mike said, watching as Esad did some finishing before everything was done.

Mike's eyes saw how Esad's drawing was gone but the weird part was nothing happened. Not like the last time when he saw (y/n) got the note. Even though the scene when she got it was slightly different. But now..

"What the fuck is going on? Where is the scene when (y/n) got the friggin' note?!", Mike yelled, grabbing the comic as he opened the pages but he found nothing about her with the note.

"Don't say that we can only send a note once? Dammit!", Mike screamed in frustration, scaring all the illustrators that were occupying the studio.
