POOF!
Suddenly, in front of Hel, somebody finally showed up, but it was not the person he expected. It was a beautiful woman with long purplish hair, with some mixes of black and red, her eyes glowed crimson red like hers, and hear beauty was comparable to hers if not a bit higher, she even had a coquettish aura to her, like a tentative and lustful demoness.
“Who are- Ah, father.” She sighed. Hel was sitting over her throne of bones boringly looking at her own father while crossing her slender and beautiful white as porcelain legs, she was barefoot this moment as two skeletons were giving her pedicure.
“Oh my! My little death girl! How are you today? Oh! Did I interrupted your beauty time?” Asked Loki lovingly, as her daughter looked at him… or her rather expressionlessly.
“Father why are you in the shape of a woman now? I already have a mother…” Sighed Hel. “Angrboda is my mother, she’s… Where is mother now?”.
“Ah, your mother is… Haha, I don’t have idea, she’s somewhere doing incantations or something, she’s a sorcerer after all.” Said Loki.
Angrboda was the Titan Sorcerer of Ice Giants, she was a powerful sorcerer of Dark Magic and Dark Arts, one of the first Titans that taught the world about darkness and is said to be the mother of Majin as well. Her relationship with Loki is quite loosen, although both had children together, she had always been a woman interested in her dark arts, and although she enjoyed the sex, it wasn’t as if she was going to stick to him through their entire eternal lives.
Loki was the same in such case, as he was a god of chaos, he didn’t liked being in a place for a long time, even less with just one person, he traveled the entire world, and occasionally paid her a visit, where both would play around (in bed), eat together, do some magic tricks, and depart for some years.
Titans in the world of Yggdrasil were similar to Gods, however, after the first war between Titans and Gods, Odin locked the titans from interfering in the outside world as much, and they were also banned from joining the god meetings for the most part, although they still did influence mortals and wandered around the world in mortal avatars, some even turned themselves into land, such as mountains, volcanoes, or giant icebergs floating over the ocean, resting until the day they would be able to fight back against the Gods once more.
Their Father and King, Ymir, was slain by Odin long ago, and his gigantic corpse gave the world shape, due to this, they were living over their own father’s body, and felt resentment over such a thing, even though many of them loved mortals, especially their descendants, the Ice Giants, Mountain Giants, and Fire Giants, which they watched closely while camouflaging as landscape or as wandering mortals.
“I want to meet mother too!” Said Hel angrily. “Stop posing as one!”
“I-I can also be a mommy!” Said Loki while pouting. “L-Look how cute I am! Don’t you want to cuddle in these big melons?”
“Uagh! Stop being so cringy or I’ll kill you!” Said Hel, pointing her finger at her own father, as a dark flame emerged from the tip of it.
“Hahaha! C-Come on, relax for a bit!” Laughed Loki, slowly walking towards his daughter and moving aside her finger slowly, petting her.
“Let’s go sit around a table and enjoy a day together, tell me what you wanted to speak about.” He said. Hel sighed, looking at her father in the form of a woman was uncomfortable, but she had to admit that her father’s charm was working.
“Okay.” Sighed Hel, she was more mature than her acting, but every time she meet her father she would act like a spoiled girl, her opinion of her father was that of a man more immature than his own daughter, which said a lot.
The two quickly sat down in seats made of rotten flesh and bones that Hel raised in an instant by a mere thought, surprising Loki a bit, she was quite energetic today…
“Y-You’re quite energetic today, aren’t you, dear?” He asked nervously, as Hel nodded.
“Father, tell me, what are you planning?” She asked.
“…I am merely doing something funny.” Said Loki.
“Funny?” Asked Hel. “You’re trying to enrage Odin again? Father, do you want us to rage a god war again? Ymir got destroyed, you want grandfather to kill us now or something?”
“Oh, no, no, no, I would never want a war against my beloved father! He’s the figure I most respect, you see? I just am very bored.” Said Loki. “And the mortals… Especially his humans, they’re doing bad things. They’re playing around with the Fragments of Evil left behind… That’s very bad, you know?”
“Ah… Yeah, I’ve seen what they’re doing, and Maria is doing some researching herself…” Said Hel. “So you want to punish mortals?”
“Why yes, it is also a way to… Well, protect the world? If any of those monsters show up, it will be because something will require their intervention.” Said Loki.
“So the Primordial Beasts are all guardians? Do you think I will believe this? You’re clearly raising god-level entities to kill Odin.” Sighed Hel.
“Hahaha! Whaaaaat? No way! No, not at all! I would never! Hahahahaha!” Laughed Loki. Although Hel knew very well that behind his façade, there was a big darkness and resentment against Odin. He knew that Odin slain his true father Fárbauti in the war against Titans, and that he imprisoned his mother, Laufey inside of the World Tree. Loki has been pretending this entire time, and Hel already saw through his façade.
“My daughter, you’re talking nonsense.” Said Loki. “Arachne, and the other two are completely unrelated to this.” Loki looked into his daughter’s eyes, captivated by her beauty, as he kissed her nose. “You’re so cute!”
“Stop with the corny stuff!” Said Hel. “Sigh… Father, you’re… sure about this?”
“…”
Loki looked deeply into Hel’s eyes.
“Yes.”
