Year: 980 (Earth Year) [2 Years Ago, When Astrid is 14 Years Old]

Place: Asgard

[A/N: Astrid is 2 years younger then Loki and Thor.]

---Astrid Pov

I showered after coming back from training. My mothers is the ones training me. Normally it should have been my father but he is training my cousins Loki and Thor. He promised grandfather to train them so even though he wanted to train me, he couldn't.

He doesn't want me to marry some guy he doesn't approve because they defeated me in a duel so he ordered my mothers to train me. My moms is hiding from father that they want me to marry before I awaken my divinities.

Why? I don't know, but they seem determined to ensure I am married before I awaken my divinities. 

I wanted to bring this up with my father, and today was the last straw—once again, they tried to keep me from training. Eventually, they relented and summoned me to their room to explain their reasoning. 

They don't want anyone else to hear what they have to say to me, like maids or guards. After showering, I got dressed and headed to my parents' room. 

As I opened the door and stepped inside, I immediately sensed runes placed all around the room, ensuring that no sound could escape and that no one outside could listen to our conversation.

After stepping inside I see my mothers sitting at the bed. "Come, sit between us" They said.

After sitting between them we sat in silence for a minute. "Okay, what is happening? Tell me already!" I said.

I don't want to become some guys possession, someone to be bend and fucked. I want to become a great warrior, one of the strongest like aunt Hela.

"Okay, when you were born All-Father was there too. He found out that you have the divinities of fighting, motherhood and marriage so he told us."

"Normally he wouldn't have said anything so we asked why he told us this." 

My mothers began to tell me. 'So I will awaken divinities of fighting, motherhood and marriage. I can understand now why they don't want to train me much, in the end I will have to marry someone strong to be powerful'

"He told us that all of your divinities are high divinities so you need to marry to fully awaken your divinities before the awakening ceremony. Or else you can't awaken any of you divinities."

"Your father hearing this was very angry that his little girl have to marry when she is so young so he tried to find ways to try awaken your divinities."

"After 4 years he found out All-Father has something that can help you awaken your divinities without you having to marry but All-Father said that he have to give that to Loki when he awakens his divinities."

"He too have been born with high Divinities so All-Father wanted to give whatever that thing that would help you to Loki and you father"

I interrupt my mothers "my father wouldn't listen to grandfather so he tried to steal it right?"

They sighed "Yes. So he sealed his memories, memories where he found out about your divinities, where he tried to find a way to help you and where he found out the way to help you is in the hands of All-Father" my mother said.

"Then why don't you train me? If you told me this I would have find someone myself an also train to be strong" I asked.

"Because it won't matter. If your husband is strong, you would be almost as strong as him (%90) when you fully awaken your divinity."

"And you can also use the divinity of your husband if he has one and allows you to wield it. That's why we didn't want to train you and kept telling you all those nonsense excuses. If we trained you ourselves, we would be wasting your potential because we only know how to fight using our own divinities." 

"Once you mastered the basics—which you did in the first week—we stopped training you for this exact reason." my mother and her sister-wife told me.

"*Sigh* I understand" I said with a sigh and hugged them. "I need time mother" "Time to think"

They kissed my forehead and let me go to my room. Once in my room I began to think what I should do; Should I marry someone , or Should I not. But what I do know is that I have to marry a god like me, I won't marry a lower being.

I though as I drift to sleep

----1 Year Later

Today, I am sitting with my mother and her sister-wife as they search for gods who are worthy of marrying me.

A few days after they revealed the truth to me, I made my choice—I would marry, but only to a god. And not just any god—he had to be strong and not much older than me.

They were happy that I had chosen to marry, so they began their search. However, no matter how hard they looked, they couldn't find anyone suitable—except for my cousins, Loki and Thor. 

Every other candidate they found was either too weak due to their age or strong but far too old to my liking.

"There is nobody else Astrid. You have to choose between Loki and Thor." My mother said.

"Hmm, then I should first find out about their character. I don't want to choose without knowing them." I said.

Mother and her sister-wife nodded. After today I will send maids to spy on them to find out more about their characteristics. I couldn't go because father's divine sense is always locked on me and if I spy on Loki and Thor he would want to know why I am spying them and may remember his locked memories.

----1 Year Later, The Day of The War

During this year I found much about Loki and Thor. And I would 100% say that I donot want to marry Thor.

He is irresponsible and thinks himself above others simply because he is a prince. He sees women as nothing more than breedable stock and has even slept with a few maids—but that's not the real issue. The problem is that he did it in front of their husbands and children, making himself despised among the lower beings and recieves less faith. 

On top of that, he constantly seeks out fights, regardless of who his opponent is. This reckless behavior is dangerous because if he were to accidentally kill someone from another realm, it could ignite a war. 

What makes it even worse is that he can't fully control his divine energy or divinities. He only knows how to fight with his fists, and above all, if I were to marry him, he wouldn't respect me as his wife.

Whereas Loki is almost the complete opposite of Thor. He is responsible and doesn't see women as nothing more than breedable stock. In fact, he has only slept with one person, which is good because it shows he has standards. 

Loki doesn't enjoy fighting much, but he'll fight if challenged. He has such remarkable control over his divine energy that it's almost surprising. And his newly awakened divinity is a high Divinity, just like mine. 

From what I can tell, he would respect me as his wife. I can see it in how he treats Sif. Even though she wasn't happy at first when Loki claimed her, over time, she became genuinely happy being with him. This shows that he makes her happy and, most importantly, respects her. 

Sif even carries his first child. It's good to know that he wants children.

Right now I am walking towards his room to speak with him. I am bored because I can't get out of the palace because of the war, my parents worry I would be harmed and now that father is not in Asgard it is perfect time to speak with him.

I want to tell him I want to marry him today as any other day father would interrupt us. After telling him and if he agrees I will ask grandfather to unlock father's locked memories.

I knock on his door and went inside. He looked at me with surprise "Astrid? Why are you here?" He asked.

"I'm bored, and there are some things I want to talk to you about."

[A/N: In the last chapter, I wrote that Astrid's maids convinced her to go to Loki. Scratch that. She went because she wants to talk with Loki about marriage. I won't change anything in the last chapter, but I wanted to let you all know about this change.]
