at you for besting in your latest drinking game.”
    Heimdall turns his attention to Morna.  “Come here, Baby Girl, and give me a hug.” he coos.  Morna runs to her godfather and jumps into his arms.  Heimdall is as big as her father, but his skin is a beautiful burnished ebony color.  His massive golden helmet is adorned with great horns.  His armor is constructed of the same material as the gate and its facets shimmer and shine with his every movement.  His features are beautiful and strong.  His brilliant amber eyes are kind and wise.  They shine like highly polished gold, and right now they are twinkling with delight at seeing his Baby Girl.
    “Oh Heimdall!  I am so happy to see you!” Morna gushes as she hugs his neck fiercely and kisses his beautiful ebony face repeatedly.  Luca is very surprised by this reunion between his wife and this Norse ‘god’.  He is taken aback at how comfortable she seems in the arms of the giant demigod.  He is also surprised by how small and fragile she appears compared to his massive bulk. 
    Morna hugs Heimdall again and tells him, “I want you to meet my family.  May I get down please?”  Heimdall gently sets her down, and she motions for Luca to join them.  “Heimdall, this is my true mate, Lucian Invictus Bellona Michaels.  Son of Bellona, Roman goddess of war, Spell Weaver of the Second Order of Airendell, and Second in Command of the Warriors of the First Order of Airendell, and vampire of the Moonlight blessing.”
    “Luca, this is the magnificent, inescapable Lord Heimdall, Norse god, Guardian of the Bifrost, Watcher of Midgard, First Protector of Asgard, Valaskjalf, (Shelf of the Slain), and Valhalla (Hall of the Slain), the House of Odin.  Godfather to Thor, Vali, Valliant, and myself.
    Heimdall shakes Luca’s hand.  “It is an honor to finally meet you, son.  I have kept my eye on you.  You never fail my Baby Girl.”  Heimdall booms as he slaps him on the back.
    “I am pleased to meet you as well, sir,” says Luca modestly.
    Morna motions Damian forward.  “Heimdall, may I present Damian Summers, adopted son of Lucian and Morna Michaels of Airendell, Ireland, Wales, and the New World, Bonded Protector of the First Protector of the Gateways, and vampire of the Moonlight Blessing.”
    Heimdall shakes Damian’s hand.  “It is an honor to meet you too, son.  You have a tall job ahead of you protecting my Baby Girl.  Good Luck!”  And then Heimdall winks mischievously at the young vampire.
    “I am honored to be her protector, Sir.  Not that she has allowed me to do much by way of protecting her.  And I am honored to meet you Lord Heimdall,” says Damian sincerely.
    Morna finally motions George forward.  “Heimdall, may I present George Welborn, Stone Breaker of the Anasazi, Gila Order, Apprentice to Maria, the Shaman of the Anasazi, Gila Order.  George is also my brother in battle and friend.”             
    Heimdall shakes George’s hand and booms, “Don’t be so shocked she knows all your titles son, she is in Asgard now, her power is nearly at full force.  She has regained most of her memories, knowledge and powers.  Being back in Asgard has awaken much of her magic.”
    “I am simply very pleased that she called me her brother and friend.” admits George.  Heimdall, Valliant and Luca all laugh at George’s reaction.
    “She often has that effect on people.” crows Heimdall.  “Our Baby Girl is one of a kind.”  Heimdall turns to Morna, “Baby Girl, you must be the only soul alive who could unite a Stone Breaker to fight alongside two vampires, even civilized ones with the Moonlight Blessing.”  Then Heimdall turns his attention to Breena who had been standing quietly behind George.  “Hello lovely lady.  You are looking lovely dear Breena, mender of broken hearts, minds and bodies.  Thank you for honoring us with your presence.”
    Breena finally steps forward at Morna’s urging, she feels
