The Eternal Valkyrie: War of the Realms (HTTYD fic)

Part 20

Chapter 19

Laufey actually gulped out of nervousness as all eyes settled on him. "Now...... this isn't what you think."

"And what should we think?" Astrid now asked with her eyes narrowed. "Did you or did you not plan to use Loki to open this door?"

"I only realized that he could possibly do it after meeting him. I SWEAR!!" Laufey argued. "It wasn't even on my mind then!"

"Wait.... Loki, as in the second Asgardian prince Loki?! How is he able to open this door. He isn't a Jothun." Býleistr interrupted and the gang facepalmed, having forgotten that Laufey told them nothing of their older brother.

"Well.... Actually," Hiccup mumbled and Astrid shot the twins a glare when she overheard them making a bet to see if Hiccup would be pulverized this time or not. "According to Eart-Midgardian sagas," Hiccup was actually nervous as he stared down the two Giants "Loki was adopted by Odin but he is actually Laufey's son and your older brother."

Hiccup cringed when the outrage came. He had sort of expected it with Helblindi's distaste for Asgardians. "Are you telling me that my brother is.... Is an ASGARDIAN!" The Giant spat as if it was a personal affront. "And you knew this!"

"Technically, raised by Asgardians," Hiccup corrected only to quickly step back as Helblindi raged. "Way to go genius," Toothless commented. "Anger the Frost Giant even more."

"That's even worse!" Helblindi uttered. "To.... To have one of our own raised by the enemy!" At this point any Asgardian present wisely kept their mouths shut as the Giant raged.

"Helblindi calm down!" Laufey chastised.

"Calm down? Calm down?!" Helblindi uttered. "You knew about this! When you found him, why the hell didn't you drag him back here?" He directed at his father.

Laufey was quiet for a moment before he answered "Your brother is..... A grown man. If he did not wish to meet us then that's his choice."

"This isn't like you," Býleistr commented with a frown. "You would have dragged him back here. You dragged a kicking and screaming Helblindi to a marriage interview!"

"I thought we were never going to bring that up again!" Helblindi having somewhat calmed down punched his brother in the arm.

"I chose to respect his wishes because he saved my life." When Laufey said this all eyes were on him again.

"Okay...... we are going to need some MAJOR clarification here," Dagur stated and Heather and Fishlegs both nodded.

"But can we please do it somewhere warmer!" Snotlout complained as his teeth chattered. "My goosebumps have goosebumps!"

That was how the entire group ended up back in the dilapidated dining room. Laufey was seated under guard and everyone looked at him to find out exactly what had happened.

"Alright, so this starts before I had met Ve and Vili," Laufey told them. "I knew the whole time who Loki really was and as you might have figured out I did not tell my other children because of the way they exaggerated."

"We did not exaggerate!" Helblindi huffed while his brother muttered "You sort of did." This earned Býleistr a pinch from his brother.

"Moving on....." Laufey muttered as he shot the two a glare. "One of the Norns, Skuld, kept in contact with me and informed me of how Loki was doing. This was up until he left before the naming ceremony."

"Wait... wait... wait, just a minute!" Býleistr stopped his father. "Why would one of the Norns, one of the prime seers of the Realms, be in contact with you?"
