Hades and Athena walked accompanied by Thor, Sol, and Ran on the shores of Asgard.
The five of them were heading towards the city of Asgard, wanting to enter and rest in it after arriving at the island.
The atmosphere was relatively calm, and Asgard looked different after it had expanded as a result of the new island merging with it.
But...
Before they entered the forests of Asgard, and before Thor or anyone with him could ask about the island's merger with Asgard, Heimdall suddenly appeared before them.
He was running quickly towards them, as if he had been waiting for their arrival for a while.
As soon as he got close to them, he headed straight for Thor and said enthusiastically:
"Thor! I have great news for you, my friend!"
Thor looked at Heimdall in surprise.
Then he looked at Hades and Athena, as if trying to find out if something had happened during his absence.
And said:
"Hmm... did something happen during my absence or what?"
And before Hades or Athena could say anything...
Heimdall laughed and said:
"Hahaha... I have information they don't know yet, Thor."
Then he stepped a little closer to him and added:
"Information that will make you very happy."
As soon as Thor heard that, he trembled with excitement.
For he knows Heimdall well.
And he knew he wasn't the type to joke around much, unlike Poseidon and some of the other rulers.
That is why Thor quickly said:
"Tell me what you have, my friend!"
Heimdall looked at Hades, Athena, Sol, and Ran for a moment, then returned his gaze to Thor.
He smiled and said:
"Your son has awakened his power."
Thor's eyes widened immediately.
But before he could show any reaction...
Heimdall quickly continued:
"And he didn't awaken just any ordinary power..."
Then he smiled proudly and said:
"He has awakened an amazing power, my friend."
He paused for a moment.
Then he said:
"You have to see him now."
And added:
"If you saw him, you wouldn't recognize him."
Then he laughed a little and said:
"He has truly become magnificent... stunningly so."
As soon as Heimdall finished speaking, everyone quickly congratulated Thor.
Athena, Sol, and Ran were happy for him, and even Hades smiled as he looked at Thor.
As for Thor...
Joy was clearly visible on his face.
Heimdall wanted to show him his son.
So he raised his hand, and was about to use his power to find his location and show his current appearance to Thor.
But...
Suddenly, he froze in his place.
Heimdall's expression changed.
For he had seen something he did not expect.
The child was accompanied by Poseidon.
And as soon as Heimdall saw that, his smile vanished completely.
He looked at Thor and said hesitantly:
"Umm... my friend..."
He paused for a moment.
Then he said:
"Actually... your son is with Poseidon."
As soon as Thor heard that, his facial expression changed entirely.
Joy disappeared from his face in an instant.
And anger ignited in his eyes.
Thor said in an angry voice:
"What?!"
He didn't wait for any explanation.
And in the next moment...
Thor launched into the sky at tremendous speed, heading towards the location Heimdall had indicated.
Shouting:
"Don't you dare touch my son, Poseidon!"
Thor quickly disappeared into the sky, heading towards Poseidon's location.
He didn't even care about the fact that he still needed treatment.
All that occupied his mind in that moment was his son.
Heimdall looked at Hades, Athena, Sol, and Ran.
The four had prepared to follow Thor.
Then Heimdall directed his words to Athena and said:
"Why didn't you prevent Poseidon from roaming the island, Ruler?"
Athena paused for a moment.
She knew exactly what Heimdall meant.
For she knows Poseidon well...
And she also knows the trouble he can cause when left alone.
But she didn't answer Heimdall's question.
Instead, she looked straight at Hades.
Then she flew off alongside him, and Ran and Sol followed them.
As they flew, Athena approached Hades and said in a low voice:
"Didn't I tell you he would cause trouble?"
Hades looked at her for a moment.
Then he looked in the direction where Thor had disappeared.
Poseidon had taken Thor's son with him; the problem Athena had anticipated had already begun.
On the beach, Heimdall watched Athena and the rest of the rulers, sighed, and then quietly returned to his tower to resume his duty of guarding Asgard.
