Marvel: So I'm A Supreme Being, So what?

Journey Into The Mystery

Third Person PoV:

Location: Asgard

Asgard is a small other-dimensional planetoid that differs significantly from Earth. It is a flat landmass suspended in space, devoid of rotational or orbital motion around a sun.

Despite experiencing intervals of night and day, the concept of changing seasons eludes Asgard.

Gravity on Asgard appeared to emanate from beneath its surface, maintaining a clear top and bottom. Remarkably, the landmass's edges remain uneroded, thanks to an enigmatic force.

This same force prevents water bodies at Asgard's boundaries from spilling into the void and secures its atmosphere.

Hence, Asgard was often described by outsiders as floating upon the "Sea of Space," navigable by Viking longboat-like Asgardian ships, though the nature of space within this dimension remains mysterious.

As a realm of mighty warriors, talks of battles, singing, training for wars, and having otherworldly feasts were an everyday affair. This was true for everyone in Asgard and whether they were a child or an adult was irrelevant.

But recently this joyous atmosphere did not seem to exist anymore as unsettling silence enveloped the realm. Well, except for the soldiers and workers tasked by the all-father to conduct investigations scurrying about. Especially near the Royal Palace of Valaskjalf.

Someone had caused panic to spread throughout the Nine realms. The world tree Yggdrasill had been toyed with by the perpetrator, even if only for a few moments. But, Asgardians knew better than to think this was a one-time accident.

It was more likely a prelude to the chaos that would come in the future. Such incidents have happened in the past and will definitely happen again in the future. Asgardians knew better than to ignore this incident.

This was especially true for Odin, the Wise King of Asgard, Ruler of the Nine Realms; the All-father. He sat upon the majestic Throne of Asgard wearing battle armour with a blue cloak and an eyepatch covering his missing left eye.

Gungnir, the Spear of Heaven, held tightly within his hand which he slammed onto the floor with a thud. The sounds of the Asgardians present went quiet immediately, a testament to his supreme authority.

"Are you suggesting that despite the considerable time that has passed since the incident, there have been no outcomes for the investigation?" Odin bellowed. He was deeply disappointed by this result.

Everyone had their heads down. No one was willing to answer this question. At least, until Loki spoke up:

"I have spoken with Heimdall, father. Based on some of the things he said, perhaps we can draw some conclusions."

"Go on. Speak what you have to offer, Loki." Odin looked towards his adoptive son and demanded.

"Yes, father. Apparently, the Enchantress has vanished from his sight while lingering around Yggdrasill. Now, I don't think she was the cause of this incident but was likely trying to investigate it just as we are. As you know, she rarely leaves the Nine Realms for the vaster universe." Loki replied.

"So, what do you make of this? Do you mean to say that she found the instigator and was captured or killed?"

"It's a possibility, father. But, Heimdall did not detect anyone attacking her either. She simply vanished. If someone deliberately captured her, then they had to be very powerful to do all of this under our eyes and evade being discovered. It does not seem very likely."

Loki did not look optimistic about this guess. He would rather believe that this whole thing was an accident, but of course, he would not say that to Odin.
