The fabric of the Nine Realms trembled.
In the silent roots of Yggdrasil, where time and space were threads of divine memory, a single fracture glowed — golden and red. The Loom of Fate, sacred and eternal, pulsed as though alive, whispering of something that should not be.
Through that fracture, Raizel Odinson stepped.

The Fall Between Realms
He did not fall like a star or descend like a god.
He walked through the rift — each step bending the laws of existence. Fragments of creation drifted around him, ancient runes crumbling as he passed. Behind him, the voices of the Norns echoed faintly, distant and fearful.
> "You cannot cross the Loom, Chaos Dragon. The mortal plane will not contain you."
Raizel's voice was calm, low, and absolute.
> "Then the mortal plane will change."
His wings unfurled — vast, ethereal, the embodiment of order defied. One feather brushed the veil between worlds, and it shattered like glass. The light of infinity spilled downward, and with it, he crossed into Midgard.

A Whisper in the Wind
Somewhere in a quiet corner of Earth, the air changed.
The moonlight grew soft, the stars dimmed, and the wind stilled as though the world paused to welcome him.
Wanda Maximoff stood in her sanctuary, her crimson magic flickering uncertainly. She felt it instantly — that deep, ancient pulse echoing within her chest.
Her heart began to race.
"He's here…" she whispered.
The candles around her extinguished, one by one. In the silence that followed, a warmth filled the room — not dangerous, not invasive, but familiar. The same energy that had called to her across dreams now flowed through the very air she breathed.
The walls shimmered, and faint golden light bled through the cracks between realities. Wanda stepped forward slowly, her voice trembling.
"Raizel…?"

Arrival
Outside, the night sky parted.
Not with thunder, nor with lightning — but with stillness. The stars realigned themselves, forming a spiral of light that touched down upon the earth in quiet reverence.
From that spiral, Raizel emerged.
He appeared not in armor, but in silence — his golden eyes reflecting the starlight, his aura dimmed so the world would not break beneath it. The chaos within him rippled gently, like the tide brushing against the shore.
As his feet touched Midgard's soil, the realm itself breathed. Grass bent, rivers stilled, and the ancient wind of Gaia whispered his name — a name that even nature remembered.
Raizel looked around, sensing everything — the life, the fear, the fragile beauty of a world still bound by fate.
"So this is Midgard," he murmured. "So small… yet filled with infinite choices."

The Resonance
Wanda's sanctuary door opened on its own.
The air shimmered, and when she stepped outside, her breath caught. Across the meadow, bathed in moonlight, stood Raizel — motionless, watching her with that same quiet intensity that had haunted her dreams.
Neither spoke at first.
The world seemed to fall away, leaving only the two of them.
Wanda's crimson aura flared instinctively, but this time it didn't lash out — it reached. The chaotic energy flowed toward him, meeting his golden aura midair. The two forces swirled, intertwined, and merged into a single spiral of light.
The stars above began to hum.
Raizel took a step forward. "So, the Scarlet Witch is real."
"And the Chaos Dragon walks among mortals," Wanda replied softly. "The myths weren't wrong."
He smiled faintly. "Perhaps they were incomplete."
Their energies pulsed in harmony, not as weapons, but as echoes — the universe itself recognizing something ancient and familiar. Wanda felt her breath hitch as memories — not hers, but echoes of another life — flickered behind her eyes.
"I know you," she whispered. "Not from this world… but from before."
Raizel's gaze softened. "Because you were there. When chaos first learned to dream."

The Heart of Chaos
The air around them shimmered, painting the night with ribbons of red and gold.
Raizel extended his hand, not commanding, not demanding — simply offering.
"Walk with me," he said quietly. "The Fates have already marked us as a threat. Let us become one worth fearing."
Wanda hesitated, her crimson eyes reflecting the faint glow of his aura. "If we walk together, the world will change."
"Then let it change," he said simply.
The simplicity of his words struck her more deeply than any prophecy. For so long, her chaos had been a curse — something to control, to hide. But in his presence, it felt like purpose.
She placed her hand in his.
The moment their palms met, the world shifted.
The stars realigned once more, the wind carried whispers across the realms, and far away, the Norns screamed as their threads of destiny burned.
---
The Fates Tremble
In the halls beneath Yggdrasil, the Norns clutched their Loom as it cracked beneath invisible pressure.
Skuld's voice was raw. "He's done it. The Dragon has crossed."
Verdandi's eyes widened. "And the Witch walks beside him…!"
Urd's hands trembled as she watched the golden-red pulse spread through the tapestry of fate. "If their bond deepens further, even we will vanish from the story we wrote."
The chamber darkened, and for the first time in eternity, the Norns knew fear.
---
The Promise
Beneath the quiet moonlight, Wanda and Raizel stood side by side.
Neither spoke for a long while — words felt too small for what destiny had become.
Finally, Raizel looked toward the horizon, his voice low but resolute.
"From this moment, Wanda Maximoff, no power — god, fate, or destiny — will define you. You are chaos unbound. The universe will either kneel… or be remade."
Wanda's lips curved into a faint, knowing smile.
"Then I guess we're rewriting the story together."
Raizel met her gaze — golden fire meeting crimson flame. "Together," he agreed.
And as they stood beneath the endless sky, the first dawn of a new fate began to rise.
