Here's two
*Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala
Night and the spirit of life calling Oh, oh, *iyo, mamela.
It was the dead of night, the moon was full and large as a layer of snow covered the ground in a blanket of white. But that didn't stop the Aesir from gathering, they all could feel it, the need to go to the king and queen. It was that time again, they were going to meet the new addition to the Odinson family.
And the voice with the fear of a child answers Iyo iyo, mamela. *Ubukhosi bo khokho, *We ndodana ye sizwe sonke!
The young and the old travel together in perfect harmony, many questions buzz about the addition, many hope its a little girl this time, for Thor would need to learn to be caring and gentle to the women.
Meanwhile, in the large palace, Frigga was getting the prince ready. Thor, who was now five was dressed in the finest leathers and cloths. As children go he was itching to get out of the clothing and back into his play clothes.
"Mommy, I don't want to wear these...it's too itchy" Thor whimpered tugging at the red dress shirt "And I can't move in it!" he said as his eyes were starting to water.
Wait, there's no mountain too great. Hear these words and have faith Oh, oh, iyo have faith!
Frigga simply smiled at her child "Now, it can't be that bad. Its just until we introduce your sibling to the rest of Asgard." she said brushing her hand over his short blonde hair.
Thor's eyes lit up, he heard about the baby that Odin had rescued, but he hadn't a chance to meet the baby yet. He had over heard his parents mention the baby being blue, he wondered why the baby was sad, but he figured it was because it didn't know who they were.
"Mommy, where's the baby?" Thor asked.
"Your baby brother is with your father, he's getting him ready for the the introduction."
Thor blinked "Does everyone come to see?" he asked curiously as Frigga lead him out of his chamber. "Of course. All over, they gather to pay their respects and send their blessings to the newly born of royal blood."
"But isn't that far? Do they get tired? What about if they don't want to continue?" Thor asked, he was an endless fountain of questions.
Frigga smiled and gave a soft laugh "It is a far journey to travel, and they do get tired. And many of them wish to give up, but that's part of the journey. Like a mountain, they trek up the steep side, tired and wanting to quit, yet they look back and see how far they've come. And that thought pushes them to continue and once they reach the top they get to see the most beautiful sights." she explained as she led Thor down the long hall and towards the throne room.
"They continue, having little to no strenght, but with a little faith and motivation they succeed." she concluded.
*Hela hey mamela, hela hey mamela Hela hey mamela, hela hey mamela!
Heimdall watched as the Bifrost glowed, radiating the most spectacular rainbow light show he had ever seen. Only other time this had happen was when Thor was born. But despite the beautiful show, a feeling of dread washed over him. Shaking his head he fixed his golden eyes onto the bridge as he was trying to push down the feeling and focus on the celebration that will soon take place.
He lives in you, he lives in me! He watches over, everything we see. Into the waters, into the truth. In your reflection, he lives in you.
In the nursery, Odin looked down at the squirming baby in the hazel colored crib. The baby made a soft howl sound before kicking at the blankets surrounding it clearly annoyed with the thick sheets.
Odin continued to stare at the child, shaking at the sight of it's blue skin and blood colored eyes, unaware of what exactly was going on the baby, laughed as the Jotun form drained away. Odin ran his hand threw the soft black hair of the baby, who looked up at him with a mischievous look, before Odin could react a small tiny fist grabbed his beard.
Odin laughed sadly as the Jotun form reappeared on the infant "Laufeyson... Laufey, you have given me a chance to make peace between our people..." Odin whispered prying open the baby's hand who in return glared and kicked fussily "My son...we shall achieve peace and harmony through you...I pray that you will understand why am doing this one day..." he said kissing the tiny forehead but quickly withdrew his lips before they could burn. Odin never thought he'd kiss a frost giant, ever.
Dream, and the voice in the wind whispers *Iyo mamela
The Aesir all continued their journey, their hopes and excitment high as they could see the palace "Look! Its in view! Come, let us hurry!" one of the people said. And with that everyone quickens their pace as they continued their journey!
Wait, there's no mountain too great! Hear these words and have faith, oh, oh, iyo.
Balder walked up the throne and bowed to Frigga, Odin, and Thor. "Allfather. Your new addition to the family, he..." Balder stopped talking as he noticed the look he was receiving from the king. "Nevermind."
A knight at that moment ran up and knelt on one knee "Sir! The Aesir are here to greet the young prince, as we speak they are headed here, for this room!" Odin nods as he noticed the first few arrivals fill the left and right side of the room.
When the last of the massive group was inside, the doors closed, Balder approached the royal family and smiled. He approached Frigga who held the tiny child and took the baby into his arms and smiled down wearily at the child as he walked to the edge of the steps.
He lives in you, he lives in me! He watches over everything we see. Into the waters, into the truth! In your reflection, he lives in you!
"People of Asgard...I bring to you, your second prince!" Balder shouted as he positioned the baby so he could show him off to the people "Your prince, Loki!" he shouted, he was so glad he asked for Loki's name before they started, he felt awful having to ask for his own princes name in front of thousands when he introduced Thor.
Everyone knelt, and paid their respects to the new prince, though many wondered why the child didn't look like the rest of his family, everyone had light colored hair and various shades of blue eyes. But Loki had black hair and green eyes.
But no one questioned out loud, for he was their prince and didn't want to anger the king and queen.
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala Ingonyama nengw' enamabala.
The Aesir all stood shouting and cheering as they finished paying their respects.
"I don't care if he does look different, I can tell he's gonna be handsome when he's gown!"
"His eyes are so mischievous!"
The girls in the crowd couldn't help but woo over their infant prince as he looked down at them unaware of what was being said.
He lives in you, he lives in me! He watches over everything we see. Into the water, into the truth In your reflection, he lives in you.
Loki looked around at the thousands of faces that cheered and shouted at him, and he began to shake, he didn't like the sound, it scared him, it reminded him of the scary shouts and roars when he was alone in the tower. Loki wanted to cry, he wanted to be in Frigga's arms and coddled. His eyes filled with tears and his face burned red as he sucked in air.
Suddenly, Loki was being held his face now pale and his green eyes swimming with curiosity. Staring down at him were two large blue eyes, Thor had collected him. Loki stared back before mewling in delight, a tiny hand reached up clutched the short blonde locks.
"Nyaaaahhaaa!" Loki cries happily as a smile played on his lips showing off nothing but gums.
Thor smiled too, as he held onto the tiny lifeform in his arms.
He lives in you, oh yeah, he lives in me! He watches over everything we see. Into the water, into the truth! In your reflection, he lives, he lives, he lives, he lives in you. He lives, he lives, he lives in you. He watches over everything we see!
Thor couldn't help but be in complete awe at the sight of his sibling "Loki! Loki! Hi Loki, I'm your big brother Thor!" Thor sang out happily. Loki looked up at him innocently and raised his hand as if to touch Thor, but instead he moved his hand in a short quick motion slapping his sibling before smirking.
Most children would have cried but Thor laughed! "You are a tricky one aren't you brother! Doesn't matter, no matter what you do I will always love you, and protect you with my life!" Thor sang out before give Loki a crushing hug causing Loki to whine in annoyance before unconsciously summoning a snake to chase Thor away, instead Thor grabbed up the snake with one hand and tossed it "Nothing shall harm you Loki!" Thor declared.
Balder smiled at the brothers affection "People of Asgard we have, Thor the thunderer god! And now we have Loki the god of..." Balder looked at the infant who was now fast asleep in Thor's arms. He recalled the tricks he summon and how he tricked everyone and he knew the perfect title for the baby "The god of Lies and Mischief! You have your princes, the sons of Odin! And may they grow up to be fine young adults!"
As everyone cheered and celebrated, no one noticed the tall dark blue figure outside the window, where his hand lay against the glass, ice coated it.
"You think you can get away with stilling my children even if it is runt!? I put a curse upon you Odin...may my child never feel like he belongs...may he feel the blows of hate and anger, and may he hate you when he finds out what he really is!"
The mysterious being then turns and leaves the premises.
