Your POV

It was early in the morning when you woke from your waking dreams. You immediately took the chests that contained the íllgrathr and sundavrblaka and went to talk to your father about your mission. You and Loki talked till late at night when he practically forced you too go to sleep as he believed you were tired from your journey. Your father enquired about your trip.

"Vroengard is still the way it used to be when you went there. Valdr thoroughly enjoyed the snalglí and the people you mentioned who used to worship the riders are still there although they did not try to harm us or contact us in anyway" you said.

"That is good. If there had been changes in Vroengard then Saphira and I would have to go down and have a look at it. Thank you dear, I have been thinking about figuring out what these creatures are for a long time and you made it possible. Also I have made sure that you are not disturbed today unless it is something serious, so you can take your friends for a tour"

"Thank you Father, oh and good morning Mother, how are you? I take your trip to Asgard was well."

Your Mother, Queen Arya of Ellesméra had come into the room and she replied "Yes my trip went well. I must say though (Name) Loki is a very interesting young man, I take it you have already talked with him?"

"Yes mother"

"Good, well why don't you go and have breakfast with your friends then" and with that you wished your parents farewell and left.

"That Loki is a very nice boy. I can see why (Name) loves him" Arya told her husband.

"Yes I agree, Loki is well mannered, loyal, a well trained magician and from what can be deduced loves our daughter as well. I never thought I'd see such a day, our daughter a well respected rider, a fierce and formidable fighter and the beloved of the Prince of Asgard, oh fast she has grown. I am very proud to call her my daughter" Eragon said.

"Oi! It's our daughter you know I had just as much hard work put into her upbringing" Arya said. After almost six hundred years of marriage they had become friends and lovers, their age gap completely forgotten, not that it mattered anymore. She still remembered when Eragon asked her to come and meet him on an island near Alagesia and how he had gone down on one knee and proposed to her. They had courting for almost a decade and Eragon's patience had surprised her considering the impatience humans usually had. Arya had never felt happier at that moment and Eragon's smile when she said yes was beautiful. They were soon married.

Arya would often go and spend some time with Eragon knowing that he could never return to Alagesia leaving Lord Daethdr as the regent. About a few hundred years into their marriage (Name) was conceived. During her childhood (Name) and Arya would stay with Eragon in Du i'lia abr skulblaka but a decade in she had to go back to her kingdom and (Name) went with her. Eragon accepted the sacrifice and remained content with meeting her once every five years and talking to her through the scrying mirrors. And then the peace treaty with Asgard was signed. The moment Arya came to know of Asgard's presence she knew they could overwhelm them so naturally she did wht was required of her to protect her people.

On (Name)'s thirtieth birthday Valdr hatched for her and she left to stay with her father and now it was Arya's turn to remain content with (Name) visiting when she could spare time and talking to her through the scrying mirrors. But it was worth it, for now her daughter is one of the best riders.

"Hello, Arya? Where did you go off to then?" eragon joked.

"Sorry I was thinking about (Name)" she said with a small smile on her face. Eragon smiled at that and then leaned forward and kissed his wife.

"…..and this were the riders are taught swordsmanship, archery and handling of other weapons" you said as you, Loki, Thor, Sif and Fandral walked past the training grounds. "If you look above you'll see the dragons practicing their aerial moves" and your friend looked up at the multitude of dragons up above practicing contorting their bodies in incredibly difficult ways while some elder dragons watched over them.

"Over there is the common hall. Its where anybody and everybody here g to eat, drink, socialize. On the right are the messes for novices. Once a rider completed their training they choose where they want to live in – in the city, in the mountains or a perhaps a house in the forest. Some go off the island and either go to Alagesia or go to the other islands that our exploration teams have found. With their training complete riders can choose what they want to do, whether want to dedicate their lives to research, to become a teacher, to join the exploration teams, to help in administration or just to mind their own business. But none the less all riders are required to aid us should there ever be an attack or if their help is required."

Loki's POV

Loki really enjoyed spending time with you and even though he would have preferred it being only him and you he did not mind the presence of his brother and his friends.

After almost another hour the tour of the colony was finished and all of you went to the common hall to have some refreshments. As all of you were about to go and sit down an elf with golden hair and handsome features showed up. Loki felt jealousy burn within him as he saw you embrace him, but he remembered your letter and calmed himself down.

"Brother I suggest you stop glaring daggers at Dusan" Loki heard Thor say while chuckling but he did not say anything in return. Then he heard Sif say "I must say, although I never had any specific inclination toward elves but Dusan is most certainly striking if not handsome" Loki immediately noticed Thor hold on his mug of ale tighten and he could help but reply with smirk "Now you know what I feel brother dear"

"Shut up" Thor said moodily. You returned to the table then and introduced Dusan "This is Dusan, he is Alana's twin. I am sure all of you remember her. Dusan is one of the resident healers here." They all said their hellos and then after having dinner they left and went back. They talked and talked about everything and anything till late at night. Sometime after midnight all of them started to excuse themselves to go back to bed and so did you but just before you left you walked up to Loki and placed a kiss on his cheeks and walked away.

Loki just sat there for almost a minute his fingers where your lips had just been, the skin there tingling. He then left and went to sleep.
