Winter, Son of Gerard » The Coldest Places, part VII

Soon...

The system was exactly as he expected. It was incredible, the difference between the Asgard technology and his worlds was leaps and bounds away. With this he could undo all the harm his existence created. He could relive his life as a hero rather than a war villain. He swiped his hand over the console and it lit up. A Valkyrie entered the room, as they were doing all over the 2 worlds, Jotunhiemr and Asgard; that he had caused such destruction. She waved her sword over the corpse of Odin, bringing color to his face, and as he opened his eyes Winter grabbed him by the hair.
"Now lets see what you know old god." He pierced into the mind of the shadow god, and found out exactly what he wanted, though it wasn't what he expected.

Odin knew precious little about Winter's father, not even what he looked like. 2 millennium of this world's years ago Odin was confronted by a cloaked man calling himself Gerard, who gave him instructions on how to be wary of invaders that may seek to harm a son he was planning to have here in exchange for power and making him 'real'. and returned 70 years ago with a son. Two times since then beings of 'real' came and Odin took care of it. Well, Winter didn't need his protection, and could think of better ways he could use his 'realness', Winter altered Odin to be a peacemaker, and a protector of all the worlds. Winter felt he would be rather be a wanderer, helping individuals rather than murdering a race. the only problem he had to fix was getting the Frost giants not to attack again, and he had a good idea how to do that.
