章 973: Parental help

Nefretiri

"You're... Ymir and Loki?" My brain hurt as I tried to process this. "But they're two separate entities... Aren't they?"

"That depends on how you look at it," he smiled knowingly, aware I was less than the children in front of me when it came to knowledge. Even my daughter knew more than I did. "Am I both? Yes, am I also an individual? That is also yes. Am I either at this moment? No. Ymir was killed by Odin and his brothers. That is a reality that happened and cannot be changed. However, only my physical attachment was destroyed. The foolish boys were young and did not understand what they would realize with time. Killing a body does not destroy the essence. It does, however, open up the door for the opportunity of a soul. That is where Loki comes into play. Ymir had to die for Loki to be born. As Ymir, I am the father of Dagan, your essence. As Loki, I am the father of your first incarnation, Valen or Hel, as the old tales prefer to call you."
