CHAPTER ONE Homesick . Noic woke in the Servant's Quarters of Asgard's Palace. Which was incredibly concerning, as the little girl could remember quite clearly that she had fallen asleep in her own bed. In Vanaheim. "It's about time you woke up! Lazy Girl! It's long past dawn." The shadow of a stern, strict woman loomed overhead, disapproving in every aspect, and holding her hands to her wide hips to display it. Noic rubbed at her drowsy blue eyes with her offhand. Though the movement summoned a drawn wince for the soreness of her muscles as they complained of the just as sharp and stern bed that she had apparently spent the night on. "Ho! Lazy Girl! Do you hear me? You'll wake at dawn from now onwards, am I clear?" The shadow above continued, wrinkled and sagging face an unpleasant sight first thing in the morning. Or at all. Noic growled tiredly, pointedly spreading her offhand's fingers to shield her drowsy gaze from the sight of it. Oh, teleporting bed, Take me away. The woman

Astrid opened her fist slowly behind Fead's back as Fead staggered forward, gawking at the small pile of teeth in distraction. Silently, Astrid spread her fingertips before her wide blue eyes in hidden shock. There wasn't even a mark on her knuckles.
It didn't even ACHE.
Fead spun on his hooves, his blue eyes gleaming with alarm, “Astrid! Let me see your hand! It must be hurt!”
“Eh? Eh?” Astrid exclaimed, stepping backwards as Fead advanced determinately, “Oh!” She blinked in alarm before she shoved her hand behind her back, cleverly connecting the dangerous d

CHAPTER ONE - Over the Ledge
I've gone too far to change. Frisk thought as she numbly stumbled through the waist high snow surrounding the edges of Snowdin.
I can't turn back.
I can't stop.
If I do- Frisk raised her gaze to the fluttering red scarf before her- the single streak of color through the stinging blizzard, If I stop, if I turn back.. Chara leaned her bright face forward to Frisk's ear, sweetly grinning as her lips moved in perfect sync to Frisk's 'thoughts'.
Then I killed them all for nothing.
"HALT, HUMAN." The skeleton at the end of the blizzard commanded.
Frisk wanted to.
Chara didn't.
Oooh, Chara smiled

"Fead! Fead Sorr!" Astrid's rasped voice rose with joy as it twisted through the howling winds that wailed across the rolling hills just to the south of Ascent's tallest walls. Over her chest, the young child wore a thin, lightweighted cloth of a deeply black shade. The shirt bore thin sleeves at the top of her shoulders about the width of one of her tiny fingers, and was pinched at the center of the chest by a single golden bead the size of one's thumbprint.
The bottom of the shirt was tucked loosely into the top of her pants, which, being black in shade as well, snugly clung to her legs until they met their e

CHAPTER ONE; THE START OF MISFORTUNE
.
Astrid's hair was very, VERY black. Which reasonably meant, of course, that most everyone wanted her to be very, VERY dead. And, according to the leather worker on Silver Alley, such an event should occur very, VERY soon if there was any justice in the world. When the world decidedly displayed a lack of said 'justice', the people of Ascent were more than pleased to take matters into their own hands.
The Barkeep of Coal, for instance, was hailed as QUITE the hero for a great amount of time after he slipped Fyre's Bite into a drink he served Astrid upon the occasion of her eighth year of life. Further,

Winter was fed up with the fanciful ideas of Tea, and who SHE thought Winter should 'date'.
Winter considered herself a reasonable woman, patient, even. But after a few hundred years of this nonsense, even her nerves were fraying.
"I think finding your true love would be great for you! Oh, imagine how you'd look at one another.. With respect, love, adoration..." Tea babbled on incessantly, stubbornly ignoring Winter's dry laugh and objections.
"My 'True Love' eh? Ooh," Winter scoffed with a growing smirk, "Shall we search for a talking ogre and jackass next? Or do we skip right to the 'SLAY THE DRAGON!' Bit of the fairy tale?"

Well, having been firmly detached from the building’s walls of ice, flailed this way and that as it stamped its heavy hooves upon the firm ground in distaste. “That tastes foul!” Well protested, shaking its body furiously, its stretched tongue lashing this way and that in its exclamation as the beast tried to shake the flavor from memory.
“Ungrateful little imp.” Winter retorted firmly, bringing the flask of sweetly smelling alcohol to her lips pointedly. “This is the finest mead I’ve got,” Winter informed as she lowered the drink, a satisfied smil

Chapter Thirty Six,
The Three Bindings

The frozen wastes of Jutonheim was no happier with its intruders than it had been the moment they had arrived. The stilled blizzard of sleeted ice drifted lazily through the frozen air, swirling softly in a drowsy spiral around the idle, prickling with hate upon either presence imposed on its hateful iced plains.
The confident form of a standing woman was wrapped entirely with a billowing blue cloak edged with tarnished fur. Shadows clung to the beautiful form of her face, welcomed by the volumous folds of her heavy hood that loomed over her golden gaze.
At her belt an ancient metal of a long forgo
