"Thor, what are you doing?" Frigga asked in shock.
"Doing what father taught me once. When I was a boy, he said 'A Wise King never seeks out war. But he must always be ready for it.' Harry speaks the truth, just as father taught me. It would be wise to be vigilant until we know the danger has passed," Thor explained.
"The Convergence," Morgan said softly.
"The last time the Aether was seen was during the last Convergence. In that time, Malekith attempted to plunge the Nine Realms into darkness. The Aether has reappeared just as the Convergence is upon us. It can't be too much of a coincidence," Harry said.
"Very well, until the Convergence passes, Asgard will be battle ready," Frigga said, nodding her head.
"Sorry, I don't mean to lay troubles down upon Asgard, it's just… I'm worried. My gut tells me the danger has not passed," Harry said.
"How did we become allies in the first place?" Morgan asked.
"You don't know the story?" Thor asked, surprised.
"On Earth, Asgard is a myth, a place of make believe. No one believes it is real," Morgan said.
"I know the story well. Odin told me in great detail about the alliance. It was your year 965, the Frost Giants had arrived on your world seeking to conquer it and plunge your world into a second ice age. Your people repelled the attack and tried to fend them off. However, your ancestors were badly outnumbered. Odin arrived with the Asgardian Army and made an alliance between your people and Asgard."
"What does this alliance entail?" Morgan asked.
"Your people were remarkable healers. Some were gifted fighters, though they fight differently than Asgard. We wanted to use your people's medical abilities to heal our wounded and your magical ones to ward off attacks. In return, should your people have need of us or should anyone threaten your world again, Asgard would answer the call and give you support," Frigga explained.
"That's good to know," Harry said.
"As the Crown Prince of Asgard, it is my sworn duty to honor the treaty between us," Thor said with a smile.
"Something tells me you're enjoying this more than I am," Harry replied. Thor only continued to smile.
"You have proven to be a capable King: one worthy of sitting on the throne of Asgard. I must admit, I thought Thor was merely doing this to punish my husband. It wouldn't have been the first time Thor acted out to upset Odin. However, you've proven to be a wise leader," Frigga said.
"I'm just waiting for Odin to wake again. How long does he normally sleep for?" Harry asked.
"He should wake soon. It tends to vary between each rest," Thor answered.
"I have no idea why Loki is so interested in the throne. It's so boring," Harry complained.
"You are a man of action. I can understand that, as I am as well, but you've proven to be a wise ruler. Perhaps better than my father," Thor said.
"I wouldn't go that far," Frigga spoke up.
"Can you honestly say that Father would have done a better job if his position was reversed?" Thor asked.
"Perhaps," Frigga said.
"We'll never know. Odin is the rightful King of Asgard. The day will come, Thor, when you must take the throne and rule Asgard as your father and his father before he did," Harry said.
"I know right now I am not yet ready to sit on the throne. There is still much I have to learn about ruling. It is why I will follow your lead, Raven," Thor said.
"I really need a name other than Raven. Raven sounds too cute for me. It's also a name I don't want to carry around," Harry said.
"Something is bothering you," Morgan observed.
"There is. It's Loki," Harry said.
"Has he done something?" Thor asked.
"It's not that he's done something. It's just… he attacked Earth for a very strange reason. He wants a throne. He claims he arrived as a benevolent God for the mortals, yet it doesn't fit his character," Harry said slowly.
"You think something else is at play?" Morgan asked.
"I believe so. Loki attacking Earth to rule it? In return for the Chitauri army, he would give them the Tesseract? It doesn't make sense. I think something else is at play here. Something we're not seeing or don't know about. I also know that Loki would not have given the Tesseract to the Chitauri unless there was a factor forcing him to do so. We don't know anything about this factor," Harry said.
"You are certain of this?" Thor asked.
"If I was to describe this, it would be using my school where I learned magic. It had four houses that represented certain traits: Gryffindor for the brave and chivalrous, Hufflepuff for the loyal and hard working, Ravenclaw for the intelligent and creative, and Slytherin for the cunning and ambitious. Loki is, without a doubt, a Slytherin. He is both cunning and ambitious. He's also cautious, not taking chances unless he is certain he can succeed. Why would he risk so much for such a little prize? Earth does not have much to offer to an advanced species like the Aesir. The whole battle… doesn't feel right. Something else is at play here."
