The Chosen One: Hero of Two Worlds

Chapter 102: Chapter 96



"Loki knows many pathways off Asgard that Odin and Thor do not. While the Bifrost is the most commonly used, Loki has always slipped by off the world through other means. You want off of Asgard, then Loki is your best bet," Heimdall said.

"He will betray you," Frandral said as he looked at Thor with a strong look. It wasn't his normal casual and friendly look, it was more concerned for his longtime friend.

"He will try," Thor said.

"The question is how we get off-world without a legion of Einherjar chasing after us. The moment we escape, they're going to be all over us," Sif said.

"The timing has to be perfect. Something is affecting Odin. Now he is struck by grief and hatred. It's clouding his judgment. A wise ruler would not risk a battle where his people would get caught in the crossfire. He would move the battle away. In this case, off-world in an area of his own choosing," Harry said.

"Svrtalfheim," Thor said.

"The homeworld of the Dark Elves?" Sif asked. "Thor, that realm is forbidden," she added with a grave look on her face.

"No Asgardian has set foot on that planet since the days of my grandfather, King Bor Burison. However, it's the perfect place to set an ambush. There are no inhabitants there. No people. It would be just us and them," Thor said.

"Is Svrtalfheim also known asโ€ฆ the Dark World?" Morgan asked.

"Yes," Thor replies.

"What about your mortal. She is being guarded by a legion of Einherjar who will see you coming from a mile away and will be on battle alert the moment you attempt to rescue her," Fandral said.

"I will not be the one who comes for her," Thor replied as he looks at Sif, but Morgan spoke.

"I will," Morgan said. Everyone turned to look at her. "I can get to her unseen and help her escape unseen as well. I am the best choice in the matter," Morgan continued.

"The Einherjar will need distractions," Harry said.

"What about the All-Father?" Sif asked.

"It is my sworn duty to notify him of crimes against the throne," Heimdall said.

"So Heimdall will draw Odin away from the palace. The moment Odin realizes it's a trick he'll send every able Einherji after us," Harry said.

"Vostagg, once my father leaves the palace, seal the doors," Thor said.

"Fandral, you're going to need to misdirect the Einherjar. Take a chariot and fly away from the palace towards any random direction. Your goal is to get their attention as Vostagg deals with the Einherjar inside the palace. In the meantime, I'll sneak us off the chariot and, if things go according to plan, Loki will take us to his secret passage," Harry said.

"When should we do this?" Sif asked.

"Malekith will attack as the sun rises. It's when people are asleep and will be easy to catch off guard. It's also when the guards are also preparing for the day. Therefore, we must act the moment we see first light. This also gives us a window of opportunity as there are few guards awake and on duty in the palace," Harry said. "Also, if things go according to plan. Odin will give us rewards and blessings instead of exile or death."

"What makes you say that?" Heimdall asked.

"The future of the nine realms is at stake. Odin will not condemn the people who saved the nine realms. He will have no choice but to give us pardons and reward us for our actions as well if we are successful in saving the nine realms," Harry said.

"Once we reach Svrlaheim, Malekith will arrive. We can only strike after Malekith has extracted the Aether from Jane. In order for this to work, we'll need the God of Mischief to work his magic," Morgan said.

"Once he pulls the Aether out of Jane, I will destroy it and him," Thor said.

"I don't think it will be that simple Thor," Harry said slowly.

"What makes you say that?" Thor asked.

"If it could be destroyed, I'm sure your grandfather would have done so. He chose to hide it instead. I suspect he did this because he couldn't destroy it. There is the possibility that the Aether cannot be destroyed, which is why the moment Malekith extracts the Aether from Jane, we kill Malekith. This will not be easy. So, we need something to contain the Aether with," Harry said.

"If Malekith escapes, he will attempt to use the Aether to destroy the nine realms. We need to know where he will be going if we're going to stop him," Thor said.

"Earth," Harry said. "Earth has had more rifts forming then the other worlds. I'm sure there is already a point of interest on Earth that has captured Malekith's attention. Fortunately for us, there are those on Earth who are already looking for the answer for us."

"You think he will go to Midgard?" Thor asked.

"I'm certain of it," Harry said. "Though I do have a general idea where he will go, we have to know for certain."

"Then we must move quickly. At first light, we get Jane off-world, set the trap, and destroy Malekith." Thor said.

The others nodded their heads. They got up and to got ready to move at first light.
