"The door slightly creaked open when a tall blond woman stepped carefully into my room a large smile crept on to my face at the sight of the gorgeous woman. Wait, no. She was not gorgeous. She was ravishing and more than other women in this realm from all 9 realms reunited. The lady came closer to me, a smile sketched on to her magnificent visage, therefore, I sat up and stretched out my short bluish arms to her, anxious to see her. I gestured my chubby hands willing to be into her arms. Mother lifted me up and I nested my head into her sunken neck and smelled the sweet scent of tulips and roses from her garden where she spends the most of her spare time on. I do love to inhale this sweet perfume of her. It calms me such a lot I would never get rid of it. She started humming a lullaby and then it turned out into singing. She was swinging left to right slowly but in a rhythmic pace. I blinked several times letting her melodic voice vibrating from her comfy chest against my petty body of mine."

'May you bring love and may you bring happiness...

Beloved in return to the end of your days...

Now fall off to sleep, I'm not meaning to keep you...

I'll just sit for a while and sing ...

Loo-li, lai-lay...

May there always be angels to watch over you...

...to guide you each step of the way...

...to guard you and keep you safe from all harm

Loo-li, Loo-li, lai-lay...' Secret Garden by Enya

"And thus, I fell asleep with her angelic chant of her but it did not take long enough for me to awake in tears almost screaming in fear. I could hear mother yelling in self-defence through my cries and a man's powerful voice. Mother's heart was beating so fast I was terribly afraid therefore I amplified my weeps. Mother dropped me back off in my crib despite I was outcrying at the top of my lungs. Mother, where are you going?"

'Give this horror of nature back to Jötunheimr. He will not integrate Asgardian life. He belongs to those frost giants, Frigga. He will not be like us, comprehend!'

'Odin, as your dearest wife I am, I have utter respect for you though you know me very well. I will never let you harm Loki. I will educate him, discipline him, teach him good manners as much as he will need it. But please, I implore you my lord, do not take Loki away from me... I love him like he was mine already.'

"It's been quite a moment I stopped weeping at the very moment I heard the goddess' feeble voice. Did the man go away, mother? I am so scared. All of a sudden, I felt someone was lifting me up as my eyes encountered mothers. She was smiling calmly at me gliding her thumb on to my right cheek in a smooth motion. I smiled back at her, reassured by her soft touch."

'Odin looked at him. Isn't he beautiful?'
