"Correct. Like you, Loki has had many incarnations, though this incarnation has lasted the longest, by far. What you need to know is that Loki will do anything to see his children free, to a point of madness and murder. He thought nothing of killing others for this purpose, therefore when offered the opportunity to gain favor with his body, he seemed to lack hesitation. His resolve is most respectable, if not dangerous. He does not respond to pity, only logic. As for Sleipnir, he has been Odin's beast of burden since the moment he could keep himself steady on all eight legs. It took Sleipnir a year to walk on his own, and once he did Odin claimed him. Sleipnir's bridle prevents him from rebelling even in his thoughts, lest it give him pain as punishment for even considering true freedom."
"Is there no way to free him from the bridle? That would perhaps prove my intent. That or make the trickster in him question my motives further. Either way the love of a father for his children is unconditional. I cannot find fault in his desire to save them. What of Jor? Is he not bound to the Allfather’s will as well?"
"I shall take your word about parental love...I know it not. There were only two people capable of removing the bridle: Odin himself, and his heir, Thor. You are now he; therefore if it is your wish to free Sleipnir you are able. What the trickster makes of that is his own affair. If you believe it just to remove the bridle, you are free to act for what is just, regardless of Loki's sentiment." The hammer stated almost distantly, as if there was really no other conclusion. If it was right, it would be so. What Loki made if it was of no concern. "As for Jormungandr...he was consigned to the ocean's depths. He cannot rise from the water lest he take the form of the Serpent, a form he despises. To his own words, if he does choose to rise it will be to exact his revenge. As such it seems the serpent has slept for centuries beneath the waves. He has not risen nor attempted to until recently...and I know not how that fared. It is quite possible that the Serpent is already free."
"The bridle shall be undone. No kith or kin of mine shall be a servant. I know from the shared memories that he was forced." The tale of Jor wrenched the man’s heart with the memory of a love not his own but very much a part of him. "Perhaps the Enchantress and Loki with my own assistance can free our shackled kin. What of Fenris, does he still live?" The thoughts of Loki and the depths of his madness occupied his own for a moment as the sought destination was neared.
"Loki has long sought the sleeping serpent, hoping to free him. I know not if the Trickster has found him, only that his bonds have been beyond Loki's power for some time. As for Fenris, like his kin, is unable to surrender to death. None of the 'Children of Ragnarok' can die unless they are silence by the royals of Asgard or mortal hands. He, like his brother, has been silent and lost for centuries. I know not how he fares since the former bearer laid a sword to rest against the wolfling's tongue."
"I did think as much. Perhaps that is why there has been a stirring in the serpent. Is there truth in Ragnarok? I know only what I read as a kid." The want to unite the remaining godlings on this realm grew in him as the unfolded fates of the children of Loki were revealed. "This is what will come to pass. Father is going to be furious. But that is the last thing I need to worry about."
