Chapter 5

As Heather finished her story she looked around at all the slack jaws of not only her friends but also of the Asgardians. "Jerry transformed?!" Frey asked astonished as his brows shot up.

"That's what she said you nimrod." His sword sighed wearily. "Why do you have to repeat the information after hearing it?"

"Why do you have to be such a smartass sword." Frey grumbled.

"Well why do yo-You two can hash it out later!" Frigg interrupted just as the door slammed open and Dagur and Meixui walked inside. Or rather Dagur rushed inside and enveloped his sister in a hug while Meixiu was nearly trampled.

"SIS OH MY GOD! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!" Dagur was still hugging her and when he pulled back he added "Cute dress by the way."

"I'm alright. I wasn't hurt." Heather answered. "And thanks."

"We were listening at the door since Dagur didn't want to interrupt your story." Meixiu added as Dagur kept trying to shush her. "I have to admit I didn't think Jerry would be..... You know..." She gestured with her hands.

"No we don't know!" Snotlout groaned. "Can someone please elaborate?!!" Valka rolled her eyes just as Gobber asked "He's kidding right?"

"Nope, this is totally Snotman." Tuffnut laughed. "Dude, we pretty much figured it out yesterday from all the little clues scattered about."

"You were the only one still guessing names." Ruffnut laughed as well.

"Guysssss" Snotlout whined as Fishlegs next to him rolled his eyes. "Come on, just tell me!"

"Snot, how much do you know of Norse mythology?" Hiccup asked when he noticed everyone's exasperation.

"I'm a security guard....... Wait.... Well I was a security guard." Snotlout huffed. "The rest of you are the archeologists."

"We were janitors and we knew." The twins piped up.

"That's because you worship Loki!" Dagur shot back as the twins gave them thumbs up.

"Okay Snot, follow me on this." Hiccup said as he looked at the shorter man. "Jerry is a nickname for Jörmungandr, the Midgard serpent and son of Loki and Angrboða."

"Uhuh...." Snotlout nodded along before something clicked. "Wait........ Son of Loki?!!" he then turned towards Frigg and Thor with eyes widened. "Then he's your...." He pointed at Thor. "And your...." He then pointed at Frigg. Both Asgardians nodded.

"Okay....." Frey interrupted. "So we've established familial ties. Can we get back to the fact that Jerry transformed?!"

"Why is that such a big deal?" Stoick asked as he looked to be deep in thought.

"The guy never transforms!" Frey gesture wildly. "Well, not since he started living here in the city at least."

"Why is that?" Astrid asked with a frown as something didn't quite add up.

"It's an old story." Frigg stated. "You all might as well know since it is common knowledge around here. Once, Odin decided to name the heir to the throne of Asgard in a ceremony at the end of the year. Naturally the people loved Thor and as the first-born he would have been the obvious choice but Thor, in his father's eyes, was still a child, too hot-headed for his own good. Loki was the one Odin would have named as heir if he hadn't withdrawn from the selection."
