The Coming Storm
Asgard had seen a rare period of peace. That peace was about to be shattered. Dark forces gathered in a far corner of the realm. Trolls, dark elves and giants fathered their forces and prepared for an assault on the city and the cursed Asgardians.

Soon the city would fall and Asgard would be theirs to rule.

Alfun looked at the assembled troops and smiled. They would make a great distraction. Alfrun knew they wouldn’t succeed in defeating the Asgardians and taking the city. Countless times they have tried and failed. The Asgardians always won.
Until today. The troops were a distraction until the real weapon could be brought onto the battlefield. With the two, the Asgardians would fall. This would be their Ragnarok. The final battle for them.

Alfrun ran her fingers lovingly over the parchment. How very nice of that dwarf to give her this wonderful piece of parchment. With it she could bring about the downfall of Odin, Thor and the rest of Asgard. Then she, Alfun daughter of Eisa and granddaughter of Loki, would sit upon the throne of Asgard as queen.

“Send them!” she said. “I have to start the ritual.”

Treg grunted and then bellowed orders. The troops started moving.

Odin nods grimly. Vincent can feel his Asgardian born strength and durability returning to him, and the world becomes just a little sharper in focus once more.

"Then thou hast found true nobility at last, and thou shalt pay dearly for't.

In the end times, the child of two bloods
shalt heed the gall of the Gjallerhorn.
He shalt forsake everything he lovest,
His wife, his home, his family, his child,
To prove at last he ist Asgardian born.
And he shalt stand bravely,
Using all his magical might to defend the south tower.
In the end, the view from on high
Wilt let him see Death coming.
Dozens shalt fall before him,
But the demons wilt swarm on.
And he shalt die in flame and agony... and courage.

His soul, like those of all Asgardians,
Shalt fade to less than dust, and all he is, all he was,
Wilt be no more, leaving behind
A wife, a child, a home - that though they shalt ne'er know his fate,
He shalt know in the end that his sacrifice helped save them.
For their names shalt be the last words he speakest."

Odin eyes Vincent a few long moments.

"In making this final decision, Amorason, thou hast found thy place, and who thou art. Therefore I find it most fitting to decalre this - thy experiences and thy influences amongst heroes hath shaped and changed thee. Thou hast an understanding of true heroism and sacrifice at last. And e'en in Asgard, we know well the Fantastic Four, and the heroes they art.

So if with Asgard you stand, and no more wishest thou to bear the evil and chaos that come at times with thy name, then thou needst search no further for a true name... for thine father needst not always be the one who bore thee, but the one who teaches and shapes thee.

So go forth proudly, Vincent Richardsson. Thou hast a war to help fight."

	Vincent can barely contain his pride, and nods sternly to Odin. "The end of days will be a great day to die; but it is not this day." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There is a moment's flash of realization as Vincent reacclimates himself to his powers. "My lord... if the bridge is not yet broken, is there still the means and link to Midgard to send a message to my family?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nay, we hath been a'ready cut off from Bifrost and surrounded. When the shield wall falls, we wilt be engaged. Be of good speed, and prepare thyself for battle. Time growest short." (Reply to this)(Parent)
