Long Live The New King!

Chapter 7 Long Live The New King!

POV Heimdall

I, Heimdall have always served my king, I have always maintained my position by protecting the bridge that separates the worlds. Until the fateful day that my king ordered me to destroy the bridge to protect Asgard from an extremely powerful unknown enemy.

My king was now dead along with Prince Thor.

Now Asgard is ruled by Hela the daughter of Odin who remained locked up and released after the King's death.

In front of a throne room, all the remaining army gathers. I find myself leading the troops while Hela sits on Odin's throne watching. Around the throne room, there are numerous revived specters, surrounding us.

"The king has died!" I speak my voice echoing throughout the throne room.

"Long live the new king!" I yelled digging my sword into the ground and kneeling in front of Hela. Odin knew that his death would free Hela. But it is necessary for a strong Asgard if we are to survive whatever defeated the ancient king.

"Today begins a new era for Asgard." She utters standing up as she watches the remaining Asgard troops. "We will defend Asgard at all costs and all our enemies will be defeated." Pronounces Hela followed by her spectral troops.

She soon stops in her tracks as she scans the horizon, then takes a deep breath. "They have arrived" She says with her eyes wide open. This worries me and I grip my sword tighter.

"I personally destroyed the bridge, they shouldn't have been able to get to Asgard." I say as I look at the horizon and what I see terrifies me, the bridge that was destroyed before is now rebuilding itself. With two kids on the other side behind some kind of wooden door.

"All troops prepare to attack." Hela says summoning her necroswords followed by her spectral army in the direction of the bridge.

Given this, I, Heimdall, will honor the oath I have sworn to protect this world as Guardian of its gates. I followed my new ruler to defend Asgard with the rest of the Asgardian troops alongside a reluctant Loki.

"Explain to me again why I have to fight? Can't I just wait in my cell?" Loki groans as he follows me.

"Because whatever defeated your father and brother has its eyes on Asgard and if Asgard falls, you will fall too." That's all I say as I keep walking.

"He was not my father, nor my brother." At this, I stop, turn around, and slap Loki in the face.

"That doesn't matter right now, the only reason you are still alive and not dead is because I pleaded your case in front of Hela. It's better to keep you alive than dead. Now keep going." I threaten Loki as he begins to shuffle after me.

Shortly after we are all in position, prepared for the inevitable battle that is to come.

"The battle for Asgard is about to begin." I say as I look across the bridge at two kids waving at us.

"You guys are not welcome here, prepare to die!" Hela yells waving her weapons, as her great wolf roars behind her with her spectral troops at the ready, Loki just scrutinizing the opponents with a calculating look in his eyes, I stay calm and grip my sword tight.

"In the name of the rightful ruler of Asgard, I sentence you to death." Hela yells, however, the kids are now talking to each other completely ignoring Hela.

"Let's use the new toys, okay?" One of the children tells the other, they are both extremely alike.

"Oki doki~" The other boy responds when some very familiar weapons appear in his hands out of nowhere, surprising everyone with the weapons they summoned.

Both children are now brandishing legendary weapons, one of them has Odin's spear Gungnir while the other holds Thor's hammer Mjölnir along with a strange shield.

At that moment Hela charges against the children along with her spectral army followed by the Asgard troops while I watch in frustration as Loki just backs off and starts running towards the castle.

Fucking coward.
