The sun will shine on us again

Chapter 20

Jötunheim was destroyed, ice was melting from the realm. The heat was all he could feel. It was as if his skin was peeling off.

The Jötunns Loki saw, have dark circles under their eyes. They were moving slowly, as if they were in pain.

Misery and sadness loomed in the air. Half of Jötunheim was destroyed due to the destruction of the Bifrost. Loki was now regretting everything he had done. He regrets wanting to wipe a whole race.

Short Jötunns, they seem like children, running after each other, playing, despite being in this terrible condition.

"An Aesir! " a voice gasped, it belonged to a small Jotun. Loki didn't notice him approaching.

The child backed away and ran to warn the other. Frost giants were afraid of the Aesir? Loki thought confusedly.

Suddenly three Frost Giants were looming over him. One of them grabbed his hand, making it blue. He hissed at him. "Odinson. " He said it was so much venom in his voice.

Loki didn't come here to fight with them. But the Frost Giants were tense and snarling at him. Children were scared, looking at him in fear.

"I didn't come here to fight. I have to see your king," he said.

But the one who was holding him tightened his hold. "You came to your own death Odinson, you will rot in our dungeons and you shall be killed. "he hissed at him.

"Our king heard he is here, and he wants him in the throne room. "Another Giant said, one of the king's warriors.

Loki was led to an iceberg where Laufey had sat on his throne, tall and towering above them.

He remembered the old stories that kept him awake at night because of that throne. It seems that the Aesir are the nightmares of the Jötunns' children.

They walked onward, passed the broken throne, and Loki ignored the stab of guilt in him. They walked into another throne room. And he found the king of Jötunheim sitting on the throne, glaring at Loki through his red eyes.

Bylestir, the Jotuns king , Laufeyson. Standing beside him, another Giant called Helblindi, the other Laufeyson.

"What brother? "Bylestir asked him mockingly. "Did you come to finish the rest of your destruction? "He sneered at him.

"What does our father's bastard doing here? "Helblindi sneered, descending the throne to attack Loki, but Bylestir stopped him with his hand.

"I'm truly sorry for what I've caused to your realm. "Loki said, apologized sincerely, ignoring Helblindi. Loki looked on either side of the room, Frost Giants standing ready to attack.

"You and Asgard have destroyed our realm. "Bylestir said and then motioned with hands for the guards. "Take him to the dungeons. "

"Wait! I have something to give to you. "Loki glared at the guard who was about to grab him.

That made Bylestir look at him after going into a conversation with his brother about Loki's execution.

"And what will you offer me? After what you have done? "Good, he caught his attention.

Loki waited for three seconds. For only dramatic scene.

And then pulled the Casket of Ancient Winters out of his pocket's dimension and held it out towards the Jötunheim's king.

He heard one of them gasped which made Loki smirk at the king.

"I'm Loki of Asgard and Jötunheim, I am giving you the Casket of Ancient Winters. "

The king and the prince left the throne to approach Loki. "The Casket Of Ancient Winters. "the king was staring at the object, afraid that it is fake. "If you are fooling us..... "

"I will give it to you. "Loki feels its cooling touch and sees that his skin is blue. "Asgard had it, and now it's time to return it to its rightful place. "

The king was shocked, hands trembling when he touched the Casket to take it.

Then he looked at his guards and Helblindi with his red eyes. They all have hope written on their face..

The Casket glowed brightly in Byleistr's hands, and Loki thought he could hear sighs of relief from the Jotnar around them.

Going out of the throne room, many Jötunns were standing outside. Gasps can be heard when the casket was raised in the air for everyone to see. "It's time to restore our realm. "

Excited yells can be heard throughout the realm and Loki found someone hugging his legs, it was the same boy who was running from him.

"Thank you. " the boy said and then ran shyly to his parents. He reminds him of himself.

Feasts will be held in Jötunheim on this great day. Loki heard someone saying that.

"I also came to warn you of Thanos. "Loki said to the king when they were alone in the throne room. "He is approaching. "

"Prince Loki, my soldiers can fight with you at this war. "The king said without hesitation. The Jötunns have not forgiven Loki, but returning the Casket was a step toward peace.
