CHAPTER TEN

“Welcome to Yggdrasil.”

Sam looked around, trying to gain her bearings. She and the other members of SG-1 stood in the center of a circular chamber, the ceiling, walls, and floor of which were constructed from a smooth, silvery metallic substance. The chamber was illuminated by soft while light that had no obvious source, but it filled the chamber, and there were no shadows anywhere. The architecture was familiar to Sam, and when she saw the small gray-skinned being standing before them, she knew why.

“Odin, I presume,” O’Neill said.

The Asgard inclined his head in acknowledgement. “Yes. You four fought well today. A most impressive performance.”

“I’m glad you enjoyed it,” O’Neill said. “We aim to please.”

Like all members of his race, Odin wore no clothing. Since the Asgard reproduced by cloning, they were no longer technically male or female and possessed no genitals. Thus, they had no need for modesty. It was difficult for humans to tell one Asgard apart from another, so much so that Sam sometimes wondered how the Asgard themselves managed to do it. Millennia of cloning had rendered the Asgard so genetically similar that they were virtually carbon copies of one another. Only subtle differences in vocal inflections, speech patterns, and movements differentiated them.

But Odin possessed a noticeable physical difference from his brethren: his right eye was missing, just as in his holographic guise of the Norse god Odin.

There was something else different about him, too. Hovering close to his shoulders were two small silver ovoids, similar to what Sam had seen when Surtr’s form had shifted between different aspects on the battlefield.

Daniel nodded to the ovoids. “I take it those are Huginn and Munnin.”

“They are,” Odin said. “And when required, they are also the valkyrie and her horse.”

“Hah!” O’Neill burst out. “So that means technically the horse can fly!” Everyone looked at him and he shrugged. “I’m just saying.”

“The ravens beamed us off the battlefield and transported us here, didn’t they?” Sam asked.

“Yes,” Odin confirmed. “After fulfilling their respective roles as the valkyrie and her steed, they reappeared in the sky in their raven guises to monitor the battle. When things began to… go badly, I had them bring you to me.”

“About that things going badly stuff,” O’Neill said. “Would you mind explaining that? I mean, fire giants, insanely powerful windstorms…”

“Norse armies that evolve several centuries overnight,” Daniel added.

“Of course,” Odin said. “This is, after all, why I’ve brought you here. Follow me, please.”

The Asgard turned and began walking toward the wall, his two “ravens” keeping pace with him. As he drew near a section of the wall, a seam appeared in the silvery metal and a door silently opened. The members of SG-1 looked at each other and then followed their host. They entered a hallway formed of the same silvery substance, and the door flowed shut behind them.

“I have a good buddy among your people,” O’Neill said. “Name of Thor. From what I understand of Norse legend, Odin was supposed to be Thor’s father.”
