As they were about to go inside John stopped and looked at Loki with squinted eyes. Loki became stiff when John looked at him.
"What..?"
"Don't play tricks Loki. Come back here." John said with a grave tone. Loki's shoulders drooped down as he knew that he was caught. He wanted to escape and look around the scenery but was caught red handed. The illusion faded away and the actual Loki who was a few metres away appeared out of thin air and started walking towards them.
"You can see the illusion?" Loki asked.
"Didn't your brother tell you I am the Sorcerer Supreme of this Ring? Do you think anything escapes my eyes here?" John said. Loki had a weird look on his face when John said that. When they last met, he wasn't even half as powerful as he was now. Now he had weird Phoenix powers and even became the Sorcerer Supreme.
"This guy really thinks that he can escape from the Lord of Order. Funny one." Z said with a bland tone as if Loki being caught was written on the stars.
Finally they all went into the House of Mysteries, including Kratos, Erza and others. They saw Frigga sitting in the fireplace talking with the spirit of the house. She had a sad and anxious look on her face but when all came inside there was relief.
"We won mother. She is sealed away." Thor said.
"Thanks to me and my friends here." Loki added as he too was emotional seeing mother again. He really missed her all these days and now finally the family is back together. Only person missing was the father.
All took their seats which the spirit had arranged for them. Everybody introduced each other properly now. And had a talk of the battle that had happened against Hela and narrated to Frigga of how they had defeated her. She was relieved that her daughter was sealed away.
Even though she was a violent one, at the end Hela was her daughter. Her body was with John and would be given to Frigga to be laid under the vault of Odin where her previous army was buried. They were able to stop the Ragnarok of Asgard and that in itself was a huge achievement.
"Thor, you should give me the crown of Surtur. Eternal fire and Surtur staying close to each other is a disaster." John said to Thor.
"Only a fool like my brother will do stupid things like these." Loki said.
"Shut up Loki. I at least defeated Surtur while you spent the days in luxury." Thor replied back.
"My sons stop fighting. I heard Mjolnir had cracks now. What do you want to do about it?" Frigga asked.
"I don't know mother. I thought I was strong enough to stop the Ragnarok of the universe. I can't even save Asgard from Ragnarok. How do I even confront that being?" Thor said as almost lost his confidence.
"Didn't your father always tell you that Mjolnir was just a weapon to channel your power? The hammer does have a power of it's own but you, Thor, is stronger than that. You are the God of Thunder." Frigga said. (have to mention this as I just remembered Jane Foster will be the new Thor in Love and Thunder)
"I know that but how do I awaken it? Even John said the same thing but I don't know anything about it. Then what should I do mother? Guide me." Thor asked.
"Isn't there a Water of Sights in this realm? Go into the water. Maybe the water spirits will help you in this regard." Frigga said. (Water of Sights was in the deleted scene of Age of Ultron. You can all look upto in Youtube. I will be explaining it more in the later chapters).
"The legends don't end well when it comes to that water." Strange said as he was drinking tea and listening to their conversation.
"All the more reason for him to go and experience it. Only hardships will make him stronger." Frigga said.
"Sure mother. I will leave for the Norn Cave of this realm. I hope the water spirits will accept me of this realm." Thor said as he was now determined to be powerful and awaken his hidden powers.
"Loki, you too need to practice your illusions." John suddenly said.
"Why am I being brought here into the whole conversation?" Loki grumbled.
"Do you think I saved you those years ago because I had a pity on you? No. It's because I know the potential of you. The potential to do good. Didn't you want a throne? Now you have it. With everything you ever wanted." John said.
"I never wanted the throne. I just wanted recognition." Loki said in an aggrieved tone. With the search for recognition he just lost his father. Even though he didn't like his father very much for lying to him, in the end he was still his father.
"Recognition. You were born in a palace with all things delivered to you. Can you imagine how many people in your own realm envy you?" John said.

Loki became silent when John said that he was really privileged in this regard. He had all the luxury one can think of. Being a Prince he never cared about it. But what John said was right. Now Black Winter was coming and all the past grievances needed to be together to save themselves.
"I hope we all can be together to face the upcoming danger." John said.
"Agreed. We need to be together. And I need to go to Norn Cave. Who will accompany me in this?" Thor asked. Strange got up and even Zatanna. John expected Strange to go with Thor as he had seen the future. But never expected Z to join.
"Don't want to meet Constantine yet?" John asked.
"Who cares of that assh***? I will meet him when I am in a good mood." Z said.
"Mother, you should go back to Asgard with Loki." Thor suggested.
"Yes. You should go back, Queen Frigga. I don't think the TVA will come after you anymore. The future is already in the garbage bin. There is no point anymore to fear them." John said. Frigga nodded at it as she really missed her home now. Especially after the death of her husband.
"What shall we do about our other sister?" Loki asked as he remembered another sister being present in the universe.
"Heven isn't exactly friendly to the nine realms. Opening that realm will cause a war. We will have to tread very wisely here." John said.
"Opening the realm? What does that mean?" Loki asked.
"The current 9 realms were once 10 realms. Your father sealed away the 10th realm, known as Heven after a war which broke out for supremacy of all realms between Asgard and Heven. In that war my daughter was kidnapped and killed. In anger, your father went to the Yggdrasil and cut away Heven from the World Tree sealing away that realm forever. We always believed that my daughter was killed." Frigga said.
"Until now..."
"Yes, I can sense her in that realm. But in order to save her we will have to do a tough fight. This will be an uphill battle to free her as she has already been brainwashed by them and she doesn't even know her own heritage and birth." John said.
"How dare they kidnap our sister and brainwash her? I will kill everyone in that realm." Thor said with anger.
"For once in life, we agree with each other, brother." Loki said. John shrugged at it as Heven really needed a kick in their posterior to remind them who was the boss in all the realms.
"Before saying such big things, get your power. Then we can talk about your sister." Frigga said as she too felt a little angry for being deceived by them and losing a daughter.
After a small chat with everyone, Thor, Strange and Z left for the Norn Cave where the Water of Sights was present. Every realm has it's reflection in the Water of Sights and all of the wells were connected to Yiggdrasil and originated from the Well of Mimir, the place where Odin got his power and knowledge.
Frigga, Loki, Krtaos and Atreus and Erza left for Asgard. Erza left with them in order to see her future home. Since John had said that the Fairy Tail would arrive on Asgard she needed to see the place with her own eyes.
John went to rest after everybody went away as he was a little tired from all the fighting. Especially him being impaled was painful. Even though he healed with no scars he still didn't like it.
He just went to bed and slept. He was so exhausted that he slept till the next day. He felt refreshed after waking up. He called Audino and the Spirit to make him good food as he was hungry and needed a recharge for his body.
He was having a good time when he heard a knock at the door. Audino went and opened the door only to see Thor whose vest was in tatters standing. With Z and Strange standing behind him.
"Come in." John siad.
"Can I have some sleep here my friend?" Thor asked.
"Sure. Audino, take him to the guest room." John said. Audino led him away to the guest room so that he could rest. Thor looked like he had a tough battle.
"Did he dip in the water with all his clothes on?" John asked.
"Yes." Z said.
"No wonder his clothes are in tatters. Did nobody tell him not to do so when you go swimming?" John asked.
"We wanted to but he jumped before we could say anything." Strange said.
"No wonder. Was the journey successful?"
"He hasn't spoken a word after coming out of the pond. He just asked us to take him to the Ring as he needed a good sleep."
"Hmm. Let him wake up. We will know what his deal is."
