Hela (923 Words)

„Whaaa! Whaaa! "The cries of infant resound through the golden halls of Asgard's royal palace.

Standing in front of a golden crib with white sheets is Odin Borson, King of Asgard and the all father of the Asgardian's.

Gazing down with his piercing eyes upon the small form of the crying infant, plans to future his ambitions slowly come together and just like that the future of Hela Odinsdottir was set to be one of blood and war.

That is how it should have been, but what the all father failed to take into consideration is that the child lying in the crib held knowledge about the entire multiverse in her mind.

The time flew by in which Odin slowly started to prepare Asgard for war, no, not war.

Burning in his eyes was not the desire for destruction, it is the light of greed and ambition.

An unprecedented time of conquest never seen before in the nine realms was near and only a few remaining pieces are left before it begins.

Without an official recognized mother, Hela was mostly taken care of by servants as her father was too busy with preparations for his conquest.

Unexpectedly, Hela shamelessly abused the fact that those servants had no idea about how normal descendants of the royal family behave and gained access to many books form early age while acting nothing like a normal child.

Being aware of her position and future, Hela used her time as child to accumulate as much knowledge before her father takes notice of her which should be around the age of eight when she will be old enough to start her training.

Years pass and Hela turned eight years old and as expected soon after she found her father in front of her room.

"Hela my daughter, it is time to start your training to become a warrior worthy of the royal family." Hela followed her father to the training grounds where an instructor was waiting for her.

Like that Hela's hellish training day's begun.

Each day she was taught all forms of combat while continuously pushed to her limits.

After five years Hela already was on a secure path to master combat with a great variety of weapons and approached her father where she asked him to teach her magic to make up for her weaknesses to become more capable to follow her father in the coming conquest.

Deep within her mind Hela is loathing Odin down to the bone but knew well that he was far stronger than her so all she could do was grow in strength until the day of reconning.

Being satisfied with his daughter's progress in the arts of combat, Odin accepted and introduced Hela to the arts of magic.

Realizing fast that her affinity laid with conjuration and curse's Hela placed her main focus on them while only taking up a few spells from other branches of magic to round out her abilities a bit more.

Four years move by in which aside form mastering combat and learning magic Hela was subjugated to the arts of war and strategies.

Desiring for his daughter to become his executioner and general in the coming conquest Odin made sure that she was taught how to lead an army.

But just knowing how to do it and actually doing it were two completely different things, this combined with the fact that Hela also needs to build a reputation under Asgard's warriors to gain their respect led to the current situation of the now 17 years old Hela leading an attack onto Junea, a minor realm around the nine realms inhabited by the June's, a race of yellow skinned humanoids with reptilian features.

This minor realm shall become an outpost and resupply station for the coming conquest, but the inhabitants were less than willing to cooperate leading to the current situation of Hela crashing down int the middle of the race's capital together with an army of a thousand einherjar thanks to Asgard's Bifrost.

"Form a perimeter and keep formation! We will storm the palace and take care of the head as soon as possible!" Hela shouts with the most authoritative voice she could muster before conjuring a black sword with cross hilt while a horned helmet materialized around her head.

Having decided against her movie counterpart's choice of headwear and armor as a whole, Hela instead donned an actual helmet and armor.

Obsidian black metal plates over green leather covers her form.

Two blue misty orbs light up in the eye sockets of her helmet and turned her into the image of a knight of death.

Quick to react to the sudden intrusion flying vehicles filled with Junea's soldiers appear in the sky and drop their load between the asgardian's and the palace.

A Yellow skinned reptilian in shiny armor raised his sword whose edge burned with condensed energy.

"HALT IN THE NAME OF ANSERITAS!!! How dare you into-" The June's words were abruptly interrupted when a black dagger pierced through his helmet and killed him instantly.

"FORWARD!!!" Hela shouts and charges at the rows of enemies who built a wall of energy shields between her and her goal.

The fight was brutal but fast.

Using her curse magic to weaken or kill the heavy armored foes and swinging her blade at the others in a relentless dance of death, Hela alone cut through most of the enemies while the remaining Asgardian's took care of the rest in their efforts to keep up with their leader.
