Time seemed to pass much more slowly, lights flashed before her eyes and Eris thought that she was being pulled left right and centre by a force that she couldn't see. She could hear voices coming from mouths that she couldn't see, some were words of encouragement from the voices of friends.

"You are an amazing warrior." The speaker sounded a lot like Fandral.

"You're beauty is a rival for many others in the whole of the nine worlds." This speaker was different, and took on the voice of Volstagg.

"It is an honor to fight alongside a warrior as powerful as you." Hogan's voice sounded.

"You are my sister in arms, and we will always fight together." Sif's voice came through everyone else's.

Then memories started to appear, somewhere kind, and though she couldn't actually see what was unfolding, she heard all of it.

"Eris, you make the most beautiful bride." Frigga's voice told her. "You and Loki will make a lovely couple."

"I am blessed to have such a beautiful daughter-in-law and two amazing grandchildren." Odin's voice told her.

"Eris is immortal, she can't die and she now has to spend the rest of her life looking after my brother. That is why I feel sorry for her." Thor's laughter sounded out to her.

However, now the voices were getting further and further away, and all she heard was the criticizing voices and the screams of people that chaos had affected, the same noise that she had heard throughout her life.

Suddenly her eyes were filled with light, and she found herself in a room that she recognized well as being hers and Loki's room back in Asgard. This confused her, had everything been a dream, was she still seen as an unmarried woman, a maid? The appearance of her husband in his normal palace clothes did nothing to change the fact that she was still confused.

"My sweet darling wife, are you alright?" Loki asked, sitting on the bed beside her.

"Yes…What happened?" She asked him.

"Nothing, you weren't feeling very well last night, so you retired to bed early, but I grew worried since you haven't woken up for a week." Loki told her.

"Oh...Loki, this is going to sound strange, but do we have children? And has Jane become infused with a power called the ether?" Eris asked him.

"No to all accounts, you're pregnant now, and that was why I grew more worried, I thought something had happened to you and our child."

Suddenly it all made sense, she vaguely remembered not feeling herself, and Loki had suggested that she went up to bed to sleep it off, and she had, but now she was worried. What had she seen? Was it a glimpse into the future? Was it their future to go to battle and never see each other again and for their children to end up orphaned by their parents? She hoped not, but there was only one person who could help her.

Later that night, after promising Loki that she would be fine, Eris made a flitting journey to her home world. It was a journey that would help her to validate what she had seen, and hopefully get some reassurance that her future could be changed. She appeared in the centre of what looked like a desert, with sand dunes and sand being pulled off of the dunes, however there was no wind around to do it. Eris walked a short way, her armor glinting in the sunlight and radiating the heat that was around her. Her walk wasn't for long, before she came to the abandoned homes of her once thriving kingdom, and she made her way through the streets. All around her there was the sound of the scuffling and scurrying of feet, and eventually she stopped in what could only be described as the town centre.

"Cerebellum, come out, I wish to speak to you." Eris' voice rang out along the empty and ghostly streets, until there was a pop and Cerebellum appeared in front of her.

"What is it your highness?" She asked, bowing her head in respect to Eris.

"I need to ask for advice." She told her, and the two sat down on the edge of what looked to be a long since dried up fountain, before Eris told her everything. About the children she had seen, about Loki's death, about Thor's return, about the Avengers, about her friends, about the whole range of scenes that she had seen.

Meanwhile, as she listened Cerebellum didn't seem surprised and Eris soon found out why.

"This is something that I have also seen, Eris this is your future, you must tread the paths carefully." She advised.

"Is there any way that I can change it, so that my children don't end up orphaned at such a young age?" She pleaded.

"You just have to follow your heart, not the heart of the shade, the heart of Eris, Princess of Tartarus and Asgard." She told her, touching her shoulder. "You'll do the right thing."

And with that, Eris found herself alone, looking at the dusty road as the sky grew dark. As stars shone above her, Eris gently touched her still flat stomach. "I will save you both from it." She promised, before she disappeared back to Asgard.

Overtime, Eris and Loki had twins, one male and one female; they were named Nathaniel and Hellem, which was the one thing that Eris wasn't going to change. But this time, Loki was present throughout the birth. They remained together throughout their lifetime, and Eris found that things changed, because Loki never fell, the Avengers never happened, but one thing that couldn't be stopped was Jane receiving the ether. But this time, they were prepared and took more warriors with them, leading to Loki and Eris returning to their children and living out the rest of their days happily as husband and wife, mother and father to their daughter and son. No one found out about the other version of reality that Eris had witnessed, that secret was kept between herself and Cerebellum, who took it to her grave with her. Overall, life was good, and Eris didn't want it to change, ever.
