So sorry for the long wait!!!! Thank you for not giving up on me! Okay... here is beginning of the new chapter! XXXXV. (Nanna's POV) I was completely overwhelmed with everything after arriving in Asgard, seeing what I’d seen in my dreams in full glory, the majestic Yggdrasil, the golden towers, the absolutely unbelievable garden... meeting my aunts, smiles and hugs. For the first time in my life I was feeling love from everyone and everything. The deep bowing of the nature spirits got me blushing, but my aunts helped me understand that they were showing their respect and love, and by the evening I stopped trying to bow back, answering in a proper manner, with a wave of love that was coming from my heart, sending visible warmth. The only thing that was bothering me was the fact that I hadn't seen much of Balder. In a way, it was a relief, because I had no idea how to act in front of him, since the last time I saw him was when I woke up from a trance in the middle of a kiss that I shamelessly returned, clinging to his body. I don't know what would've happened after that if Odin hadn’t interrupted us. The arrival of Thor and Astrid with her new status dismissed the need for an awkward moment when our lips parted, but I was afraid that now, after it had all settled down, that moment would return as soon as we saw each other. But the truth was... I wanted to see him. I looked over the sea of heads in the crowd that was covering the hall and beyond in search of the blue eyes of the God of Light. Thor, Astrid, Loki, and Sigyn were all standing with Odin and Frigg near Yggdrasil... The line of Valkyries beside them, but he wasn’t here... why wasn’t he here? “Okay, my dear.. now, as I place this crown of cherry blossoms on your head, you will close your eyes and feel the life all around you, answer this love, send the life energy back to everyone who sends it to you, be one with us, with Yggdrasil, with this garden, with Asgard and beyond. Reach to other worlds, feel the force of life floating through the universe...” My aunt’s voice pushed all thoughts away, slowly submerging me into a palpable soothing wave of warmth. One with everyone, one with all worlds... one with the universe... where are you Balder? (Thor's POV) Astrid's ceremony was nothing like we’d ever had before, it was the first of its kind. Never before had a new Goddess been introduced and accepted into the rank of Gods this way, chosen and given powers by the belief of mortals. I watched my little Valkyrie, now the named Goddess of the Wishing Star and Protector of Loved Ones, stand in her full glory at the center of the great hall, watching her as the prayer that was meant for her and made up by the slav who's life she’d spared was played out loud. As the induction came to a close and congratulations were given, the party started and I stole my love from the crowd surrounding her, pulling her behind a column. “I know it's all very exciting and I'm happy for you, but I miss you.” I pulled her into my arms and she giggled when my lips slid over her neck. “I miss you, too, but we can't do this right here and we can't leave just yet, it would be rude.” Her arms contradicted her words, encircling my neck as her body pressed to mine. “Mhnn... when can we leave?” She giggled again and gripped my hair, pulling me away from her neck, her eyes gazing into mine, lips nearing mine, as a whisper blew over my face. “After the party is over.” “I can't wait that long!” “You'll have to.” Her eyes smiled. “You are so cruel.” I pouted. “This party is for Nanna and me, and I have to stay! Besides... uh... shit...” She pulled away, pressing her hand to her temple, and I pushed my forehead to hers. “They’re praying again?” Astrid pulled her hands off and sighed. “I'm never ready for it, it just comes, and it's not like they’re asking something specific, just repeating the same words.” “I like that prayer...” My lips slid into a wicked smile. “Especially when they call you a Goddess who rides lightning...” I wiggled my eyebrows. “Perv, I knew out of all those words you would get hung up on those.” Astrid glared at me and then her face changed as she scrunched her nose. “Ouch... I feel every voice bouncing in my skull... How does this God stuff work, anyway? Am I supposed to answer them? Do something?” “Only the part about the lightning, you have to ride it as often as you can.” I snorted and she hissed. “Thor, be serious!” “I am serious! You have to be true to the words of the prayer. That part about the stormy steed is also about me, so you have to ride both.” I giggled and she glared at me, raising her hands with blue charges dancing between her fingers. “I will zap you if you don't stop.” “Seriously? You’re threatening the God of Thunder and Lightning with lightning? Bring it on!” She smiled, moving her hands to my chest and releasing blue electrical charges from her fingers that sent a wave of warmth all the way to my core. “Mhnnn... feels good...” “Thor!” “Well, what do you want me to say?” “I want you to tell me what to do!” “Hit me harder, baby, and lower... but not here... we need to get somewhere private...” I pulled her hand, looking for the quickest escape route, but Astrid's face blocked my view. “Well... the problem is... those prayers keep popping up in my head and interfering with everything, I can't concentrate... I can't do anything... I feel like there is a crowd of people watching me at all times... not sure if I can even relax enough to have sex...” Her expression turned innocently sad. “Woah, woah, woah... can't have sex? That is unacceptable! We need to fix it.” “How do you not hear the prayers that are given to you?” “I just don't.” I scratched my head, trying to remember when the last time I’d heard the prayers. “At all?” “We can hear them if we want to.” Loki's voice made us turn. My brother was leaned against a nearby column, with his legs crossed at the ankles, one hand casually fixing the ruffles on the end of his sleeve. He lifted his eyes to us. “All we have to do is concentrate on Midgard, but mainly, we let mortals live their lives without our interference. They kill each other in our name with or without us. You know, human nature: 'mine is better than yours, and if yours is better, then I want it and I will take it.' I'm sure father will explain all that to you later. Thor is no help with 'how does it work' questions, he was always almost falling asleep during history lessons. He much preferred the physical part of the teaching. Give him a sword or a hammer and he’s as happy as a bilchsteim in a meadow.” Loki's smirked and I frowned. “I'd love to have one in my hand right now, to wipe that smirk off your face and show you that the fact that I asked mother to release you from your punishment doesn't mean that I forgive you everything you did.” Loki sighed and pushed away from the column with a deliberately shocked look on his face. “Everything I did? Like bringing you two together? Like making Astrid a Goddess?” “You didn't make her a Goddess, the mortals did.” I growled through my teeth. “And who do you think sent a terrifying nightmare to that one mortal, prompting him to make an idol and speak up? Who made him turn everyone in his village and beyond into a true believer?” “Nanna's energy ball, that Balder accidentally sent flying their way, did.” “Okay, they helped too, but it was my plan, they just made it happen differently... I would've done better striking fear into those mortals but... I was a bit tied up at the time.” “You mean carrying a well deserved punishment for all your lies?” Loki smirked and tilted his head. “A little bit of lies, a little bit of manipulation, but all for the greater good. Besides.. like you’ve never lied, brother.” “Not that I remember.” I growled and made a step forward with every intention to slap that wicked smile that lit Loki's face right off. He made a step to me and giggled. “Of course not, you just prefer not telling the truth, fooling the woman you love into believing that she is only your best friend.” I made another step forward, narrowing my eyes at the God of Mischief, and smirked back. “Look who's talking, mister 'Sigyn is with me only until I get tired of her, nothing serious.' And then you gave up your master plan for her.” Our eyes were looked, chest stood against chest, and anger that was slowly making its way through my body pushed my hands to curl into fists. Loki's face lost the smile, eyes like sharp, icy crystals peering back at me. “Will you both stop it!” Astrid pushed us apart and stood between us. “All of it is far behind us, time to shake each other's hands and make up.” |

Thank you hunny!!!! I did missed the writing. Here is more! (Frigg POV) I walked up the side stairs to my husband and braced myself on the rails of the balcony, watching the dancing pairs below twirl with the music. “They look so happy... but I can't push all the horrors they’ve been through out of my mind...” “One's soul and heart can not appropriate true happiness until it knows suffering... growing is a painful process, my love...” “And I hope that process is over. Promise me you won't put them through more.” “One can not promise what he has no control over. I don't make the future, I just have a glimpse of it time to time, but even then, what is meant to be will happen, despite our wishes... No matter what we want, some things are just unchangeable... like Ragnarok... ” I looked at my husband and saw how grim his face had turned. He told me a long time ago that he knew how he would die. I took Odin's hand in mine with silent understanding. “Then lets not darken this evening with thoughts of a distant future. We have a nearer future to talk about, and it's clear as day, without any magic. We have a wedding... or two, to get ready for.” “Or three...” Odin nodded his head, pointing to something below, and I braced myself on the rails, following his gaze. Nanna was standing in the crowd of younger deities, smiling at whatever they were talking about. “Are you talking about the Nymph?” And as I was ready to turn back to my husband I saw Nanna's eyes escape from the faces of her new friends, searching for something in the crowd. He gaze stopped and she quickly turned away, lowering her eyes, biting her lip and visibly blushing. My eyes followed the direction she was looking at and I saw my youngest son in the company of Sigyn, making their way to the columns on the far left. In the shadow, away from the spot light of the dancing floor I saw Loki, his lips moved as though he was talking to someone, hidden from my view by the next column. Before Balder reached Loki, he turned, looking at Nanna and, like her, quickly turned and lowered his gaze. “Three weddings it is.” I turned back to Odin and he smiled. “Three weddings and one coronation.” (Sigyn's POV) I stopped, holding my breath, when I saw Thor and Loki standing with tight postures and a hair away from each. I knew what would come next, judging by their tightened fists, and held my breath. Balder sped up, reading their intentions, which were so clearly written on their faces, but the next moment I saw Astrid stepping between them. I sighed in relief, watching their fists relax and followed Balder. The words of the newly named Goddess reached my ears. “... he is your brother, and the fact is, all he did turned out for the better.. as much as I hate to admit it. If I can forgive him, so can you. Now shake.” Astrid pushed Thor's hand forward. The God of Thunder released a short, low growl and narrowed his eyes at Loki. “Fine, but he must promise me, no more lies.” Loki smiled and jokingly placed one hand over his heart, outstretching the other. “Okay.” “Swear it.” Thor's hand crushed Loki’s in an iron grip, making him wince. “Okay, okay, I swear! You don't have to break my hand to get the words outta me.” He shook his hand in the air, inspecting his reddened fingers, and as I stepped closer, he glanced my way with a secret smile and quickly winked. Oh, fuck, what is he planning next...? He can't just be one of the guys... “Now you, Balder.” Astrid pushed The God of Light forward and Loki jerked his hand back. “How about hug instead? I think Thor broke my knuckles.” “There, friends, brothers, and no more fighting, no more angry looks and blame.” Astrid smiled as Balder stepped back from the hug and waved over a maiden with a tray of a mead filled tankards. “Now, lets drink to renewed friendship!” She took a heavy silver cup and raised it up, to my relief everyone followed, and smiles finally lightened the atmosphere, letting me relax. But as my love's eyes wickedly sparkled from behind the golden rim of his tankard I swallowed the suddenly soured mead and tensed up. What is he up to now? “So what's the plan, then?” Loki smiled and turned to Thor and Astrid. “Plan?” The future king widened his eyes. “Didn't we just agree on no more of this planning shit?” “No, we agreed on no more lies. Besides, if we have no plan, then how are we supposed to bring happiness to our little bro here?” Loki's hand slapped Balder's back, and the youngest brother almost choked on the mead he was about to swallow. “He doesn't need plans, he’s fine.” Thor smiled and Loki gave Balder another wicked smirk. “So everything is fine between you and Nanna?” 'Yeah... fine...” Balder looked down, clearing his throat and bitting his lip. Thor cackled, hitting his little brother back with his palm in an approving gesture. “Considering the fact that they were kissing back there at Radda's place when we arrived, I'll say it's better than fine.” Balder blushed and tried to cover it with a cough. Loki patiently waited for him to finish, and when Balder rose his cup back to his lips, swiftly murmured. “You probably spent all morning with her, that’s why I haven't seen you! Of course, she surely needed help and support from someone close to her with all this new stuff, it's a lot to take in. She probably didn't let you out of her sight right up until the ceremony! And I probably just missed the part when you came over to her and gave her a big hug of congratulations when the induction was over.” Loki’s wicked smile grew wider. “Not... not really... I was busy in the morning... and... I... I haven't... I haven't talked to her yet...” Balder sighed, lowering his head again under everyone's gaze. He released another sigh, then scratched his head and sighed once more. “I haven't spoke to her since Midgard... I just... I don't know if she wants to see me... or talk to me...” Balder breathed in, looking at us and breathed out. “I'm not sure if she will ever want to talk to me...” “What the fuck? Am I missing something? I saw you hugging and kissing, I saw it with my own eyes!” Thor looked at Astrid. “You saw them, too!” “I did... and I thought... maybe we were wrong with our conclusions. Balder...what’s wrong?” Astrid touched Balder's arm and he sighed again. “That... that kiss... it wasn't... I had no choice, she was locked up with the seed... I needed to distract her... I didn't know what else to do...” “Balder... tell me you didn't just steal that kiss.” Astrid looked into the eyes of the God of Light and he nodded with another sigh, lowering his head. “I did...” “And? Did she answer back?” Thor put his hand on his brother shoulder. “She did... but... it wasn't her... she was in a trance... so I have no idea if she answered me willingly or just because it was a part of whatever was going on with her... if it was her or her powers locking up with another source of energy...” Balder mumbled and hung his head even lower. “Oh for fuck’s sake!” Thor rolled his eyes and let go of his brother’s shoulder. “For once I thought it would be easy and clear, you saw a girl, you liked her, she liked you back, kiss, hug, happy ending, but no, it has to be all fucked up!” “Yep, so far it all sounds just like the direction our relationships went... off the straight, easy road and into the ‘I have no idea how he/she feels, so I better not tell him/her how I feel, until I know what he/she feels’ crappy road.” Astrid sighed and Thor nodded. “Exactly.” “So? What's the plan?” Loki pushed between his brothers, planting his hands on their shoulders. Astrid rose her hand to her lips, drumming with her fingers on her lower lip, Thor grasped his chin with his hand, sliding it over his mustache and beard, both deep in thought. I looked at Loki, who braced his side to the column, inspecting the marble lines on it. “I know! We need a hunting trip!” Thor lit up. “All of us going together!” “She's a Nymph, they don't hunt.” I spoke, knowing the true nature of all Nymphs. “Nanna does, she was hunting rabbits in Midgard.” Astrid stepped forward. “She had no choice, she did that not knowing who she is, now she won't be able to harm any living thing.” I signed and all of us grew quiet, searching our thoughts for a possible way of handling this poor future. |

I LOVED IT! To see them back together again, being friends & Family as they should be. This made me laugh:
Hehe. Always easier to dish out the advice than to follow it. Poor Nana & Balder... And I really hope more people will re-discover this story and start reading again. Have a great Sunday *gets up to get ready for work* |
