Nighttime fell in Jotunheim. Laufey and Farbauti were seen discussing with their most trusted advisors about a potential meeting they would have with the Asgardian royal family in a few days. The Jotun royals wanted to discuss with the Asgardians about what mattered most: Loki.
And both Helbindi and Bylestir were good at distracting Loki by telling him some Jotun stories they heard from their parents while growing up. Currently, they were telling him about a Jotun myth about the mother of sun and the stars, Nyakka and her two grown sons, who are on a bloody feud between them regarding about who gets to rule the skies when Nyakka dies.
"So, Nyakka plans to place her children away from each other. The oldest one, Jakashie was put on one side of the universe while the other brother, Lakanasie, was put to rule the underworld in one of the many ice planets located in the most isolated galaxies in the universe. It is said that he is satisfied with his placement so much that he has plans to leave his post. He believes that if he does, then another being will snatch it away and take all the benefits he currently has from ruling such a planet. Jakashie is supposedly in rule of a planet that is mostly of fire. It fits his personality because he is very hot tempered when angry."
Loki was intrigued with the story and wanted to know more about it.
"What happened to the mother? And what does she do?"
Smiling, Helbindi continued with the story. "Well, Nyakka stayed at her own planet. She watches over her children, even if they are very far away from her. It is said that her eyes can see all and nothing can escape her watch. But, she can't barely hear due to her aging but her eyes get more powerful with every year that passes. But, she doesn't complain because she knows that when she passes, she will join in her oldest son's world. Then, she will continue her watch over her youngest."
Bylestir, then answered Loki's questions. "Nyakka is a ruler of her own right. She is very strong and is believed to be the direct descendent of the moon. She has silver eyes and is very wise. Ask her anything and she has the answer before you finish the question. And also, there is a rumor that she can revive anybody is worthy."
This caught Loki's attention. "She can?"
Nodding, Bylestir said. "Of course she can. She learned how to do over the millenia she has. She practices her magic during her down time. She is a very busy woman watching others under her care. She is a very beloved goddes."
"What is she a goddess of?" Loki asked. He was sitting on his bed while his two older brothers were sitting on two large wooden chairs near him.
"She is a goddess of health, wisdom, protection, and family," Bylestir answered.
"Oh. What if she was real?" Loki again asked.
"I wish, but it is simply just a myth. A legend," Bylestir replied.
"That was an interesting story. You got any more to tell me?" Loki asked.
"I do have a couple more. Are you interested in hearing about the 2 headed demon dog who is in charge of the Lvakers?" Heldbindi asked Loki with a smirk.
"2 headed demon dog? And the Lvakers? I never heard such people. Care to tell me?" Loki asked, now intersted in hearing the next story.
"Of course. I have a lot of time in my hands, Loki. After that story is done, there is yet another myth I want to tell. It is about the blue snaked that ate a watery world and gave birth to a full grown male knight two years later."
"Oh, I can't wait," Loki said.
