Chương 292: Water of Sights

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.
