Brothers, Loki, and Byleistr and Excitement

Byleistr could not believe his excellent luck; soon, he would get to see real-life Pegasus. Loki had returned from his trip to buy thinking machines. After giving everyone identifications and their own personal thinking machine, Loki declared that it was time to go and find some Pegasus. Byleistr, of course, decided that he needed to go and help Loki with such an important endeavor. Neither Loki nor he had the heart to leave Kari behind. Kari was sleeping on the bunker below him. Loki was sleeping on the couch that turned into a bed right across from him. In fact, he could see the rhythmic lifting and falling of his brother's chest, and if he focused, he could hear the soft snores of Kari.

Byleistr considered himself incredibly lucky because he had a brother and a sister to call his own. He had been forced to watch his mother, father, and brother be family while he was an outsider. Now he had a family to call his own, and he valued it above all. He thought about Helbllindie and felt a sense of vindictive justice, thinking that now he was the one that was alone. Eventually, Byleistr fell asleep thinking about the adventures he would have with his siblings in the next few days.

Loki woke up in the early hours of the morning and quietly exited his room as he did not want to wake his siblings up. After getting himself a cup of tea, he walked to the observatory and sat looking at the stars. He would be catching up with Angrboda at a small unnamed planet where they had been told some herds of wild Pegasus lived. Angrboda had left a week early. She commanded a much larger and slower spaceship with plenty of space to bring back some Pegasus with them. He could hardly wait to see her again. He shook his head and chuckled. If someone had told him he would be so madly in love a few years early, he would probably have been offended and challenged them to an honor duel. Now minutes away from Angrboda seemed like centuries to him.

After finishing his tea, Loki walked back to the compartment he shared with his siblings. He entered quietly and covered Kari as she had thrown her blanket off. He then checked on Byleistr, who appeared to be sleeping peacefully. He thanked the Norns for giving him his siblings. They were such a blessing to him. They centered him and helped to give meaning to his life. Both Byleistr and Kari were very young, and he felt responsible for them, despite Byelister being more than able to carry his own weight. He wondered how he could love them so much after knowing them for such a short time. Was that what being family meant?

A couple of days later, Loki's group joined Angrboda group. The planet where the Pegasus lived was small whit moderate weather and many planes with pasture on them. The first thing Loki did was hug Angrboda. She kissed him. The kiss was broken when Loki felt the little hand of Kari pulling on him and asking, "Loki, where are the Pegasus? I do not see any." Angrboda laughed, crouched down to Kari's level, and said, "We'll Kari, we are going to have to track them down, and you are going to help us."

Kari looked and Angrboda and said in a serious tone, "That is why I came to help out." Loki ruffled her hair and said, "I know Kari, I am sure you will be a great helper." Byleistr joined the group and said in a contrite tone, "Sorry guys, Kari took off so fast that I could not stop her. I wanted you to have some private time." Loki put a and on his shoulder and said, "Worry not, brother, we'll see so how it goes for you when you are dating, I might suddenly become distractable." Bylesitr laughed and punched Loki lightly on his shoulder.

The majority of the group left to look for Pegasus. They expected to camp for a few days before they would be lucky enough to find Pegasus. After Breakfast, Byleistr could not find Kari and became alarmed. He told Loki, and they went to look for their sister with some of their people's help. To their surprise, Kari was petting a young Pegasus, and there was a full heard nearby.

It seemed that Kari had developed a telepathic link with the young Pegasus. She was able to help the Begavet to communicate with the heard. About half the Pegasus choose to accompany the Begavelse as they found their cause worthy. In return, the Begavelse promised to care for all of their needs and treated them with care and respect.

On the way back, Kari ended up in the spaceship of Angrboda as she did not want to be separated from her new friend. Angrboda promised her brothers she would care for the girl before pushing them out and telling them to go back home. She would return Kari in one piece.

Loki and Byleistr arrived at Begavelse a week before their sister. They used their time to coordinate the people to build stables for the Pegasus. They also decided to plant some grass and hoped it would take. They, of course, used Sedir to increase their odds. With all their people's help, they had a lovely valley full of grass for the Pegasus.

While they were waiting for Kari to arrive, Loki and Byleistr took advantage of the situation to have some brotherly bonding. They took a day to go hunting. While they were out following tracks of a herd of rodents, Byleister asked, "When are we going to rescue more Skufelse?" Loki responded, "I think we will take some time to get a squadron of Valkyries ready before our next rescue mission. I also think we need to see if we can find another military base and see what type of weapons might be available.

They continued following the tracks of the rodents, and after a while, Loki asked, "Where in Jotunheim do you think we should go for our next rescue mission?" Byleistr seemed to think about it and said, "It depends if we want to rescue a large number of Skuffelse, then we should go to Utgard. Since it is the capital, we can expect a lot of resistance. I suppose if we do not mind rescuing a small number. In that case, I think we should go to one of the largest fishing villages as the Skuffelse are used for fishing and preparing the catch for transportation to the rest of Jotunheim."

Finally, the Pegasus's spaceship arrived, and to Loki's surprise, the first to disembark were Angrboda, Kari, and Val. He could hardly believe his eyes. He walked rapidly towards the women and found himself with his arms full of Kari, who was happy to see him. Valkyrie approached him smiling and said, "So does that offer of setting in Begavelse still stands?" Loki smiled and said, "But of course, my lady, I will even make you a Dutchess."

Thanks for reading. Please take a moment to write a review they make my day.

I will probably be updating every 10 to 15 days.
