------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For days, I continued to research about everything there was to know about Yggdrasil and such, discovering a few interesting facts and things about the subject, for one, finding that the nine realms, were originally ten, and became nine during Odin's reign.
Asgard, the main world, the home of the Aesir, and the location of Valhalla aka the hall of the slain.
Álfheim which was loosely translated to Land of the Elves or Elfland, and as the name suggests is home of the Jósálfar, aka the light elves, not much can be found about them though, but in most books, they are described as being more beautiful than the sun.
Nidavellir, the realm of the Dwarfs, a race of master smiths and craftsmen, good guys, should visit them soon.
Midgard, aka Earth.
Jotunheim, the homeland of the Jötnar, aka the Frost Giants. A realm described as downright unlivable, having dark forests and mountain peaks covered in an unholy winter that never eases its frosty grip no matter the situation.
Vanaheim, the home realm of Frigga, and one known for their magic.
Niflheim, translated as Abode of Mist or Mist World, a realm that is somehow more cold than the one the Frost Giants reside in, described as the world of primordial ice, whatever that is.
Muspelheim, the total opposite of Niflheim, being the realm of the primordial fire, not much is detailed in the books about said world.
And last, but not least, Hel, also referred to as Helheim or The Realm of Hel, the place Hela sent me for a couple of hours while she tried to take over the world and such.
Now, these were the realms everyone knew about.
But there was one, that used to be on the roster.
That realm was called Heven.
According to the only book I found about the subject, because more than not, all books had this realm, redacted out of them.
Heven was, at one point, one of the Nine Realms, which at the time I suppose were called the Ten Realms. Its inhabitants were known as Angels for their holy looks and angelic wings, anywho, sometime during Odin's reign, something happened, and the Angels decided to wage a war against Asgard. Aftet that, everything was redacted, showing nothing else of importance in the book.
Fucking Odin hiding shit.
Thankfully, now that I knew what to look for, my quest was considerably easier, because I only had to use my power to know more, I had after all unlocked the history of the universe a long time ago.
So, I did just that.
And what I found… was not pretty.
The war had apparently started for petty reasons, at least according to me, eventually leading to the Queen of Angels successfully kidnapping and seemingly killing Odin's newborn infant at the time, Aldrif, in rage Odin used his powers to cut off Heven from the other Nine Realms and Yggdrasil altogether. However the King's hatred didn't end there, blinded by his sorrow, Odin spat a curse upon the Angels, a curse wrought of the Odinforce to bind them forever from returning home, anchoring them deeper in the void, as punishment for killing his daughter.
The funny thing is…
According to my records, Aldrif was still alive.
Meaning, that unbeknownst to Odin, he had sealed his own newborn daughter, alongside the angels in the void.
God damn it, Thor's family feels like a telenovela.
"So Thor has another sister," I sighed, scratching the back of my head. Another daughter he imprisoned, great. I hope at the very least this one doesn't have a weird prophetic infatuation on me.
Now, how the fuck do I break this news to Thor.
No-no.
How the fuck do I break this to Frigga.
No no-no.
How the fuck do I break this to Odin.
"They will kill each other," I sighed, I mean, Odin would probably kill himself after finding out his second daughter, not only didn't die, but he sealed her like he did with Hela.
Frigga will probably tear him a new one, finding out her firstborn never died as she thought, and had been inside the void for all these years.
Thor will simply lose his shit, I mean, how many siblings can Odin fucking hide.
I need a beer.
"Brother!" Fuck.
"Hey Thor," I waved at him.
"Is there something wrong?" Thor asked, his usual smile fading ever so lightly.
I nodded, but before he could ask, I raised my hand, shushing him up, "Thor, I need a drink, and by one, I mean a barrel of beer, after that, we'll talk."
"Fine by me," Thor chuckled, giving me a one-armed hug, "Besides, how bad can it be? It's not like I have another sibling ready to kill me father didn't tell me about."
No best moment to hear a Hela-related joke.
"Beer, now," I replied.
Thor narrowed his eyes for a bit, before he shrugged, "Fine, let's go." and with that, we teleported to the Royal Bar, where I would get drunk enough to deal with the telenovela Odin had created.

[Natasha Walker POV]
When Emily said, I was a princess, I wanted to say no.
But, the benefits were… alluring.
"Nat, princesses don't cheat while playing cards with their subjects," Emily pouted.
"Em, Em, Em, my sweet but stupid little sister," I sighed, shaking my head from side to side.
"Hey!" Emily shot back, crossing her arms.
"I'm just teaching them," I smiled, hugging her with one arm, as the other pointed high to the sky in contemplation. "I'm teaching my subjects to be more alert, and if in the process I make a few tons of gold, so be it, it's a small price to pay for the valuable lesson I'm giving them."
"If I tell dad what do you think will happen?" Emily inquired, a smug smile on her face.
I sighed, "How much do you want you little shit," I chuckled.
"Fifty percent," Emily replied without missing a beat. God, I was proud of her.
"Forty-five, and I wear a tiara like you wanted me to," I offered, extending my hand.
"Deal," Emily nodded, shaking my hand.

Thor reacted as I expected him to when I told him he had another sister. Needless to say, this revelation did no good to his already strained relationship with his father.
But I didn't worry much.
According to my rankings, Aldrif Odinsdottir was weaker than Hela, by around a hundred and twenty levels, so, even if she was like Hela, and wanted to kill Thor and bang me for some reason, dealing with her would be infinitely easier.
Of course, I would not underestimate her.
Better to be safe than sorry, last time I got sealed because I was frighteningly unprepared for such tactics, and who knew what powers Aldrif had, so I would simply play it safe, and assume the worst.
Anyway.
Putting the whole royal family novela aside.
I was right now on my way to the royal library, a cup of coffee at hand, ready to dwell deeper into the mystery of the well of Mimir, and the roots of Yggdrasil.
Not gonna lie.
I was somewhat excited about this particular research homework I was doing.
I mean, it was not always my system, and its library didn't have all the answers for me.
I chuckled, continuing my way to the library, waving at the guards around as I passed them.
"Prince Alex," One guard saluted, stuttering his words. He was probably a fan, according to Sif, I had gained a fan club in Asgard, funny enough, it didn't start after the events of Hela, but after my first battle with Thor, the club was named, the Alex Walker Warriors Club.
"Hi there," I waved at him, which prompted a giggle from the guard.
"Would you give me your autograph sir?" Another guard approached, giving me a blank piece of paper, sheepishly looking around, fidgeting like a nervous kid.
Having fans is weird…
"Sure," I smiled, giving summoning a pen.
Autograph done, and a few more giggles, I walked into the library questioning my choice of moving to Asgard, having a fan club, mainly composed of people way older than me was somewhat perturbing.
Then again, I was awesome.
So, I guess I do deserve some appreciation.
"Alright, time to continue my research!" I declared, mostly to myself, while looking around. Thousands of books, and so little time.
—------------------
Sixteen hours later, and I still had nothing of value.
I mean, I had acquired a few dozen skills. Most of them being Asgardian magic and stuff, but nothing I could use to find a way to the well of Mimir.
"Why did the path to the well have to be unique with each King?" I groaned as something clicked inside my mind at the same time. Each path was specially tailored for each King.
I was going at this all wrong.
It wasn't me who was supposed to find the Well, it was Thor.
I mean, sure the books didn't technically say that only the Kings of Asgard could find the well. But… only Kings have been recorded to find the well, therefore, it's safe to assume only Thor can find the way.
That is not to say, I can't accompany him, it only means that he's the only one able to uncover the path to Mimir.
"Thor!" I called, using a voice-powered spell to make my voice reach him.
Seconds later, Thor bursted through the door wielding a sword while looking around in concern, "What sibling of mine wants to kill you?! Loki? Aldrif?! A new one you just discovered!?"
I blinked a few times before breaking into a fit of laughter, "None at the moment…. Scratch that, Loki is always plotting to kill me, but he's like a cat to me, it amuses me to see him fail and keep on trying, but outside Loki, none that I know."
"Good," Thor nodded, breathing out in relief, "One can never be too careful with my family, sixty percent of them want to kill you, and the other forty want to fuck you."
I looked at Thor, counting his family members before drawing the percentages, "Those numbers don't add up,"
Thor grinned, wiggling his eyebrows at me in a suggestive manner.
"Thor I will shave your head," I warned.
"Ok, ok, sorry, I was just messing with you," Thor chuckled, "As my little brother, I have to do so, it is written in the book of older brothers, a book as old as time itself, full of brotherly wisdom."
I deadpanned.
"Now, putting that aside little bro, what happened? Why did you summon your mighty handsome older brother!" Thor said, smiling from cheek to cheek.
I sighed, "I think I discovered why I can't find a way to the well of Mimir,"
Thor blinked, his attention now fully on me, "Why?"
"Well, if my theory is correct, which I feel it is, only you can find the path to the well of Mimir," I elaborated, taking a seat.
"I see!" Thor beamed, giving me a bone-crushing hug as he picked me from the chair. The fucker was still not fully aware of his new overwhelming strength.
"Good, now stop breaking my bones," I sighed, chuckling under my breath.
"Bah, you regenerate, so tough love won't kill you," Thor laughed.
I chuckled, he did have a point, I mean, I regenerated faster than he could break my bones, but still, "I suppose, but still, we have work to do, so shu," I added, teleporting out of his brotherly embrace.
"Indeed we have!" Thor nodded, "You and me, two incredibly handsome brothers, one more than the other, that one being me, in a quest to find the well of Mimir and acquire its power! I can hardly wait!"
So, he wanted me to acquire from Mimir's well as well? How touching, "I suppose it would be a quest to be remembered." I nodded.
"Of course, it will!" Thor nodded in an excited manner, "It will be our first brotherly quest, no bald one, no… bucky, and no Sif, just brothers doing what brothers do!"
I snorted, "Fine, but first, find the path, otherwise, that won't come to happen," I chuckled.
"Indeed," Thor nodded, index finger pressed upon his lip, "So… how do I do that?"
This was going to be a hard… hard quest, wasn't it?
