Freya

Prologue

The color in the world fades as the years go by...

       Dark, empty and yet oddly comforting. She drifts away in an endless void, letting the peace of the nether wash over her. Who is she? Right now, not even she knows. The soothing void rumbles, and the feeling of peace shatters as shock courses through her. A flash of light from a silver lightning bolt pierces her sight, then all goes black once more. Even so, she can feel the presence of someone else there; she is no longer alone. Minutes tick by, and still she cannot see the other presence. She starts to drift again when a powerful male voice suddenly surrounds her.

        "Freya, my Love, we shall meet again. You may have been felled in the battle against evil but your soul will be reborn again. I will find you my Love. I will always find you, and then we will be together again. I swear it!" Freya? Is that me? What are you talking about...who are you? Shock colors the voice she hears, she cannot see the figure standing near her in the darkness. "I am Odin, my Love. We have always been together. Have you forgotten me in your death?" He sounds heartbroken and his voice cracks on the last word. Death? What is that? Is it why I'm here? Where is here? Her thoughts are colored with confusion. "This is the place where Gods go when they die. When they are slated for rebirth. It was our domain, and one day it will be ours again. I swear I will find you and I will remind you of who you are and who we were together. It's time now my Love. Your soul will be moving on to a new life and into the world below. Trust me to follow after you, once you are reborn, even without your memories your soul will know me!" As soon as the last word is out another blinding flash lights up the void. The man named Odin is gone, and the void starts to heat up; slowly at first and then faster and faster, until a purple fire bursts to life and consumes her being.
