Chapter 6 Welcome Home
When the light dissolved, Hiccup looked around to see they were in a golden domelike room and a black man with golden eyes and armor was watching them. Loki turned to the man and bowed in a gesture of thanks. "Hiccup, this is Heimdal, the allseer, he has watched over you for me as he can see all in the nine realms. Odin has woken from his last Odin sleep recently and has finally granted me permission to get you, we should go see him now."
Hiccup got onto Toothless and the two took to the skies of Asgard, Loki transfigured a nearby bush into a changewing and flew alongside his son over the golden towers of Asgard. Loki pointed out different buildings and told his son what they were for, Hiccup had lots of different questions about the city and Loki was happy to answer.
"Question, Why did Odin finally allow you to come see me?"
"Odin and I have always had a rocky relationship, after I found out I was adopted, I got really mad, I will not go into details but I did some bad things because I was not myself, I was controlled by someone called the other. I was imprisoned a little bit, till Thor decided to come ask me for help to save his beloved Jane a mortal on Midgard. The Aether had taken over her body, and the dark elves wanted the force back. Thor broke me out of prison and we left to Svartelheim, there we got the Aether out of Jane but it fell into the hands of the dark elves, I feigned my death as those on Midgard have no love for me, and there did not seem to be a point in living with my mother dead and not being allowed to see my son. I had felt a magical disturbance notifying me Odin had gone into his Odin sleep, and when Thor came with news of the dark elves defeat I pretended to be Odin. Thor has just learnt I am alive. Odin lets me see you know because I am no longer guilty and he has heard how his adoptive demiasgardian grandson has become a hero. Odin values heroes but not runts or scholars, so he did not let you know of me before."
"Wait, so he only wants to see me because I have become a hero? Wow, he would get along great with Stoick."
"Hiccup, know that I shall be there for you, a hero, a coward, or anything else."
"Thanks, the only one who would be there other than you is my mom, who is dead, I don't even know if Astrid would still love me if I wasn't the Chief's supposed son and Hero of Berk."
"Son, she loves you, I see that in her eyes, she will not give up on you. Now you are wearing Norse clothes, here you are Asgardian royalty, you must dress like it."
Loki snapped his fingers and Hiccup was standing in his new attire, which consisted of a black and gold chestplate and armguards, a green tunic and leather brown pants. Satisfied Loki commanded the dragons to land. Toothless and the Changewing started circling the palace and landed in front of it. Loki muttered a spell and changed the Changewing back into a bush, then he turned and ushered Hiccup inside the palace.
The palace had been rebuilt since Thor and Loki had destroyed it flying an elves warship. Marble columns lined the golden floor and ceiling on the long hall. At the end of the hall was a large golden throne. An old man with white hair, a golden eye patch, and a raven on his shoulder was sitting there, this must be Odin, Hiccup thought. Loki knelt on the floor and Hiccup copied his gesture.
"Rise, Loki, now introduce me to your son"
"This is Hiccup, Hero and Heir to Berk, tamer of dragons, and rider of Toothless."
"Welcome to Asgard, as you should know my name is Odin, the allfather and king of Asgard."
