I thought Thor was mad to think that our small sister had survived whatever monstrous punishment the angelic queen could have wrought upon a child. He never stopped believing she was alive. It's very strange ...

My grand double-cross, my traitorous exploits, the destruction of the fleet of angels, were on his whims. Even bringing my father back to Asgard, which was an awful decision, was to prove Thor right.
And he was. Our sister was among the angels, all of them unknowing of her Asgardian heritage. She had almost taken Thor's head off with her bare hands, I thought they were going to kill each other.
[This was... Well, it was definitely a good story. Betrayal, and a secret sibling, and an almost Greek tragic twist of almost killing your long lost brother?]

He made his claim as my sister's father, and they exiled her then and there. She was their greatest warrior, and she was cast out, just like that.

Very well! I shall not do wrong with the legend you have entrusted me with.
