"There are relics that predate the universe itself. What lies within her appears to be one of them. The nine realms are not eternal. They had a dawn, as they will have a dusk." Odin said as he pulled out a book and opened it before showing it to them. "Before that dawn, the dark forces, the Dark Elves reigned absolute and unchallenged," Odin said.
Thor looked at the book and read the Asgardian or Norse words written upon the page. "'Born of eternal night, the Dark Elves come to steal away the light.' I know these stories. Mother told them to us as children."
"Their leader Malekith made a weapon out of that darkness and it was called the Aether. While other relics often appears as stones, the Aether is fluid and ever changing. It changes matter into dark matter. It seeks out host bodies, drawing strength from their life-force. Malektih sought to use the Aether's power to return the universe to one of darkness. But, after eternities of bloodshed, my father Bor finally triumphed against the Dark Elves, ushering in a peace that lasted thousands of years."
"What happened?" Jane asked.
"He killed them all," Odin stated as if he was proud of that fact.
"Are you certain?" Thor asked, questioning his father. "The Aether was said to have been destroyed with them, and yet here it is."
"The Dark Elves are dead," Odin declared once again.
"Are they?" Harry asked. Odin turned to look at him carefully. "It was said my people were completely destroyed and wipe out from the face of the Earth, and yet here we stand. How do we know for certain that remnants of the Dark Elves did not survive and go into hiding, only to wait for their chance to restart their conquest again?"
"I will not be questioned. Not even by ones who were once my old allies," Odin said in a very king-like tone that said the matter was dropped and he would not discuss it any further.
"Does your book happen to mention how to get it out of me?" Jane Foster asked.
"No," Odin said in a voice that sounded a lot like he didn't care. "It does not."
"Father we have to be able to do something," Thor said.
"Now is not the time for this. I must ready myself for the Odinsleep and you must take your seat as King of Asgard in my absence," Odin said.
"No, I will not," Thor replied.
"I beg your pardon," Odin said in a high voice that clearly said he wanted an answer from his son.
"Now is not the best time for me to take the throne. There is much on my mind and the throne will suit me ill at this time. I do, however, have the right to appoint a steward to serve in my stead," Thor said. Harry, for a strange reason, did not like what Thor had in mind.
"Who?" Odin asked.
Thor turns to Harry. "I proclaim Harry Potter to take the throne of Asgard in my stead as you sleep, father."
"Hold on," Harry said as he realized what Thor was asking of him. "I'm not Asgardian. Shouldn't an Asgardian rule Asgard? Why me?" Harry asked.
"You are a great leader. I also know you'll rule justly. I can trust no other for this task then you, the leader of the Avengers," Thor replied.
"I do not have time to argue about this. Very well, I will accept this and wish to see the true wisdom of a Seidhr that is what makes your people so famous. However, should he fail," Odin said, turning to Thor. "should he prove himself unfit to rule in your stead, you will take the throne and rule the moment he should fail. Is that understood?" Odin asked.
"Oh, I'm sure, Father, when you wake you'll be pleasantly surprised on how well he'll do," Thor said confidently.
"We shall see. For now, I must rest and get the sleep to rejuvenate my strength," Odin said.
Harry turned to look at Morgan, but she had a sly smile on her face. Almost as if she was enjoying what was happening. "I am not going to like this," Harry muttered.
