"Magnus, why did YOU have to be THE ONE who burst into my Tomb World?" Rakszan was irritated, "I could call it a coincidence if you just burst into my Tomb World for a few times, but we are talking about EVERY! SINGLE! TIME! HERE!"
"Don't ask me! Why don't you ask that wolf after you take away your Hyperphase Sword, again?" retorted Magnus, "I never actively try to find your oh so precious Tomb, and Tzeentch never told me where you were! "I do not not know whether it would annoy our True God or not, but it seems like it could be worth a try." Rakszan paused, then continued, "And no, I will keep the Sword right there until He descends upon this world."
"...So you guys want to know why you occasionally get paired up like this?" grumbled an exasperated Fenrir.
"If Your Mightiness thinks this is an idiotic question asked by your humble subjects, you could choose to ignore it." Rakszan replied politely.
"Fine, not that it was top secret or anything. You see, when my colleague Fung Long tried to make you more stable for the loops, Rakszan," The Wolf God explained, "he made up his mind that Magnus would be the most suitable candidate to help stabilize you as most of his legion were turned into Rubric Marines, so he could understand the feeling of witnessing other people turned into mindless machines."
"It was a sound mind for the well-being of loopers like me only if the chosen one did not happen to be this red-skin." The Last Phaeron of Khansu Dynasty shook his head in disappointment.
"La la la, I can't hear you. I don't want to be on this Tomb World anymore." Magnus facepalmed and tried to sing his way out of this shenanigan.
7.2 (BNG1991)
Fun fact:
In 799.M41, Big Mek 'Eadcrumpa lead his WAAAGH! to the newly awakened Tomb World of Suranas. After initial skirmishes proved the still lethargic Necrons to be no match for the Orks, Lord Mepthk struck a pact with 'Eadcrumpa. In exchange for several dozen functioning Doomsday Cannons, 'Eadcrumpa agreed to leave Suranas and seek plunder elsewhere (whilst secretly resolving to return). The WAAAGH! then descended on the Agri-World of Eden Prime, but 'Eadcrumpa was unable to resist his urge to investigate the mysterious core of the Doomsday Cannons he had taken from Suranas and 'Eadcrumpa, his WAAAGH! and the planet Eden Prime were erased from existence when he accidentally breached one of the weapons' containment cores.
I can not help but wonder the reaction of our beloved Commander Shepard, when he/she witness the destruction of Eden Prime because of the stupid Ork behaviour:
Shepard sighed after he reviewed the in-loop memory, for this was another fused loop with the Dark Millennium. Right after the First Contact War, the Alliance, along with the Council, had been besieged by Orks and Necrons. At least the Tau were cooperative this time around.
"Commander Shepard, I believe you need to take a look outside." Spectre Nihlus' word brought Shepard back to reality.
"Something's going on for our recovery mission?"
"Um..."
Well, Eden Prime used to be a beautiful garden world, and now? They saw nothing but the void itself. All they could see nearby was one single squid-like ship.
"THIS IS SUPPOSED NOT TO BE HAPPENING!" The looping Nazara yelled.
"Um, Commander Shepard, I believe another observation for the Spectre nomination should be on hold. Shepard?"
If anyone wanted a reasonable conclusion for this incident, they could blame a certain 'Eadcrumpa for causing this mess. You don't have to object about this as transmission about Ork WAAGH! on Eden Prime was received later.

Lemon looked at the green mass wearing the blue hat to Discord's Orange and cringed.
"Something the matter, Rush?" Discord asked him.
Lemon shook his head. "Nothing," he said. "I just find it odd that the Smooze is green instead of purple."
The Smooze gave him a look and just bubbled.
Discord just looked at Lemon and translated, "You're talking about his estranged cousin. He never talks about THAT one for good reason. It's just… depressing to the point where it isolated itself into a volcano."
That's when an explosion was felt as through the airship wreckage, two Earth Ponies and an unconscious Daring Do nemesis were seen piled onto the ballroom floor.
"NOT AGAIN, GRANDDAD!" a voice yelled. "This is why we don't let you on anything that can fly!"
"Well, how ELSE was I supposed to get rid of an immortal demigod thingy?" another voice replied. "Seriously, Jotaro, it's not easy piloting a plane with no fingers and a Stand!"
Ahuizotl was seen in pain from the airship crash as two ponies were arguing about the results of the landing… much to the flabbergasted looks of the onlookers, especially Rainbow Dash and a certain brown Pegasus, the former poking the man.
"Joestars," Leman and Discord deadpanned.
"And we're nowhere NEAR an active volcano," Discord added.
7.4 (Evilhumour)
"And I call." Konrad stared at his brothers, holding the cards close to his face as he threw the chips into the pot.
"I'm out." Vulkan scoffed, tossing his cards down at the table.
"I'll stand." Magnus grunted, eying the large amount of chips Konrad had won and then his own small pile.
"As will I," Leman said softly, examining them all. It was one of the few signs Leman had that he was acting serious which usually meant trouble. He had proved it the time his two other looping brothers had tried to test Leman's supposed skills when his barbarian of a brother managed to disarm them all with a single hand while still drinking his ale. Leman being quiet here probably meant that he at long last figured out Konrad's tell or how the hell he was doing this well at poker. "Okay, let's see."
Unfortunately, Magnus had been bluffing with a Two of Clubs and Jack of Spades and Leman's Queen of Spades and Jack of Hearts did give him a double pair with the Diamond Queen and Jack Diamond Queen and Jack on the table along with the Ten of Diamonds, Five of Clubs, and Three of Hearts. Leman reached out for the pot when Konrad had revealed that he had Diamond Ace and Diamond King, giving him a royal straight flush. With a massive smirk on Konrad's face as he claimed the pot, Magnus swore he would figure out how his brother was cheating before Leman did.

"This is… odd." Konrad muttered, scratching his head as he shared looks with his brothers.
"Konrad, in Yggdrasil's infinite brand of humour, this is nothing." Vulkan answered, looking at the structure he was in. "In fact, this is something of an unusually nice loop."
CRASH!
"Leman, Angron, stop tormenting Lorgar. Mortarion, get away from the vent this instant!"
CRASH!
"Daaaaaaaad!" Perturabo cried out as Rogal Dorn knocked over the brick castle he made.
With more shouts and cries from the young Primarchs, with Sanguinius watching from the chandelier he was told not to sit on, the Emperor of Mankind raced after more of his gene sons that were not stolen by the Ruinous Powers this loop.
Konrad gave his brother a look, with a raised eyebrow. Vulkan quickly responded with, "It is nice for us and for father; this is one of his goals in the loops you know. To have all of us under one roof without killing each ot-"
CRASH!
"Sanguinius! Horus!" The Emperor of Mankind shouted, thundering past them to look over his two injured sons now.
"Although, you shouldn't tempt fate Konrad," Vulkan quickly amended, watching Leman trying to annoy Magnus again now that father's attention was elsewhere. "Yggdrasil takes it as a challenge and always delivers."
Konrad simply nodded his head, watching Alpharius and Omegon steal the cookie jar, replacing it with a fake, using Leman's and Magnus' latest fight as a diversion.
7.6 (Evilhumour)
"Father, why have never been any attempts to have female Adeptus Astartes?" Magnus raised an eyebrow.
Simple. I have tried and it tends to result in producing Doreen Green, Dorothy Gale, Pinkamena Diane Pie, and other chaotic, dangerous women. The Emperor shuddered. I will not subject others to legions of Pinkie Pies that have enough firepower to match the worst of the Hippocampus variants.
7.7 (Evilhumour)
"Slaanesh, I am curious about something," Vulkan looked at the Chaos God who was in the midst of creating some new perverted sex toy that involved far too much dirt and grass. Holding out some of near Hub material of their own Branch, he tapped a finger on the modified book that fit into his hand easily. "It says here Perturabo always had a strange connection to the Eye of Terror. What is that about?"
Slaanesh jerked back in surprise, eyes darting before calming hirself. It happened in an instant but Vulkan was ready for such tactics.
"Well, you see I-"
"HEREYOUGOVULKAN!QUICKINTOYOURSUBSPACEPOCKET!" Tzeentch shouted, flying by while shoving a holo-recording into his hands.
"Tzeentch you blue bastard, I'll KILL YOU!" Slaanesh screeched, trying to grab Vulkan, who was already halfway into his subspace pocket. Roaring in anger, the Chaos God grabbed nothing but air as the Primarch was safe inside his Pocket.
After a few minutes, the Ebony Chariot exploded from a single point, out stripping Slaanesh's desperate movements to stop the Primarch.
"I'm not touching you!" Slaanesh grinned, moving the Eye of Terror back and forth over Perturabo's head, laughing to him\her\itself as the Primarch turned his head around. "Still not touching you!"
Roaring in laughter, Leman slapped his knees as Magnus was fighting back immense fit of laughter while Konrad was snickering to himself. Vulkan was still trying to gather his breath before falling over again as they watched how childish Slaanesh was with hir prank, including a part where Tzeentch himself had appeared behind Slaanesh and slapped him\her\it upside the head.
Oh sure, they knew as soon as they left the Pocket that Slaanesh would unleash his/her fury onto them with hir daemons, but this well worth it.
7.8 (BNG1991)
"This is the galaxy-wide message from Rakszan of the Khansu Dynasty, Necron Empire. Those who knows me well know I am THE veteran C'Tan hunter, and they should know I feel no joy in announcing any news of an escaped C'Tan shard. But today, I must be the bearer of the grave news. A C'Tan named Pynka'Mena, a C'Tan who was obsessed with parties and surprises, has come back from the extra-galactic realm. Not only that, but she has created fiends known as Pinkinids and become their Hive Mind..."
"...She will make you wish to die immediately if you refuse her offer of having a party..."
"...Be aware human, for it will make your subjects lose the will to fight the dark forces from the Realm of Souls. Be aware Eldar, if you wish your kin to not become obsessed with excess and excitement..."
Most of the transmission was lost to the ears of the Imperial Guards due to their resident techpriest being lax on the job, making them unsure how to respond.
"Wow, just attend the party and you are free to go? How wonderful-"
*BLAM*
Ciaphas Cain, Hero of the Imperium, raised his laspistol, pointing it towards the Guardsmen.
"With all the authority of Commissariat, I declare anyone who joins the course of the Pinkinids, shall be executed. And I will not make allowances for anyone not fighting them hard enough in the name of the Emperor! Understand?!"
7.9 (Evilhumour)
The fact that Konrad, Vulkan, Magnus and Leman were sitting at a bar table was not too much of note, although the bartender was a bit annoyed that the amount of alcohol needed to overcome their implants was cutting into his storage.
The individual they were glaring at with anger was unusual, considering the person was one of the nicest people in the Loops and was generally a pacifist if he could be.
"Okay, I'll bite," Alan Grant sighed, shaking his head. "Why the hell are you four mad at him?" Tilting his head back at the person in question, he kept his eye on Owen's raptors that were starting to get drunk. Drunk dinosaurs were never fun and ones that had access to dangerous weapons made things even worse.
"He caused the Frater Astrotechnicus to rebel," Vulkan said, grinding his teeth. "In tandem with bringing his war into ours and causing a division among the Adeptus Astartes and several of our brothers, we also had to deal with the Heresy of Ferrus Manus following him as well as Horus's normal Hersey."
"Which you joined Vulkan," Konrad grumbled. Frowning, he glared back the annoyed Primarch of the Salamanders. "You've got no room to complain, you tried to smash my face in when you joined Ferrus."
"Bah, I just wish to drink and forget the Loop happened. At the most, I wish to be bothered by you Leman, not… him." Magnus spat out to which Leman simply nodded his head and slamming back a tankard.
"I am truly sorry for what happened." The red robot looper that had replaced Omnissiah spoke. "Usually when I loop in, this sort of thing does not happen."
"It's okay, Prime," Leman said slowly. "It's our loop, if things can go bad, it will."
7.10 (Evilhumour)
The Emperor of Mankind raised an eyebrow at the looper standing in for the Second Legion Primarch.
His first clue to who this was by how the Second Legion acted; swindlers and thieves of the Imperial Navy that he barely had under control. They were only tolerated by the fact they managed to keep the Rogue Traders in line, and most thought their actions were but an act. Something he was fine as it was far too much trouble to cull them and grow the Ultramarines at this point in time.
"-the bloody hell you mean I can't get drunk?!" The Sparrow, Grand-Captain of the aquatic world the Emperor had discovered him on this loop, shouted at him while gesticulating wildly. "I mean, I drink all the rum I want but I'm bloody sober mate!"
"Sparrow, I-"
"Captain Sparrow," the Primarch corrected, raising a finger to halt him. "You might be me daddy this loop but I'm still Captain, or bloody Primarch of the Black Pearl Legion. Now let's talk about getting me nice and drunk, shall we?"
The Emperor of Mankind simply sighed. This was going to be a tiring loop.
7.11 (Evilhumour)
Skuld looked at her pager and sighed.
Fenrir was awake and she had her orders to talk to him before anyone else did.
It really wasn't her place to do this sort of thing and she would have ignored these orders no matter where it came from but she had a gut feeling to why she had been given them and that was enough for her.
Allowing Yggdrasil to move her where she needed to go by using secret shortcuts and passages, she entered the high security wing of the recovery ward that had a squad of Valkyries at attention, ready to bloody stop anyone that was stupid enough to try and breach the room.
Unlike her, they were asked by the same person-unneeded as they took guard of the Destruction and Devour God on their own, and were angered by such a request as it was an insult to their honour to think that they would not do this.
Nodding her head while presenting clear information it was her and not a trickster god trying something, she looked at the doctor leaving the room with a bit of surprise on her face, clearly not expecting her so soon.
"How is he?" Skuld asked sharply, ignoring any pleasantries.
"We had to use Gleipner to keep him steady, how do you think he is?" the doctor snapped back, sighing loudly. "He's still very weak and seeing that on him did not do his heart any favours."
"You took it off?" Skuld asked without thinking, forgetting what had happened in the past.
"It was far looser than the original, and it was no challenge for me," a weak voice growled out, Skuld immediately walking in to see a very annoyed if battered wolf in a specialized hospital bed. "At least there was no sword in my mouth this time." Fenrir gave a swallow chuckle, wheezing slightly at the end.
"I see that your wit is still in good shape," said Skuld as she pulled up a chair to sit next to the wolf, taking in how small Fenrir was right now. His size was a fluid state of nature, something that he rarely made notable but Skuld had seen him personally show off how large he could get when properly enraged and the inverse was just as unsettling, if not more. "How are you feeling?"
"How I feel is not important, how is the Dark Millennium Branch?" his eyes, still sharp as ever, bore into her as he avoided her question.
"Stable, as are the rest your Loops, thanks to your sub," Skuld said, wishing she had her hammer so she could squeeze something. "As I asked, how are you."
"I'll live," Fenrir tried to shrug it off, but let out a whimper of pain from the sudden movement. He stared at her for a while before his eyes darted to the side. "What happened while I was gone?"
"Fung Long got his promotion to full Anchorship due to his maintenance during the Krisis, Le-Eyo," Skuld paused as Fenrir let out a growl that shook her to the core and reminding her once again Fenrir was still a very dangerous individual. "Is set on a near indefinite punishment, serving his time as a fetish clock. Your sister was very enraged by this, calling out for removal of his divine power and be reborn as a mortal or allow her five minutes with him and other terrifying demands," Skuld bit her lip as she had watched the other Gods of Death drag her away and reminding everyone that Hel was truly Loki's daughter. "And...you were put on trial."
Fenrir raised an eyebrow at that before out a tired sigh. "I see...Odin?"
"Zeus," she corrected him, clenching her fist in anger. "Tyr had called for a meeting of the pantheons for to discuss Le-Eyo's punishment and Zeus, as Head of the Gods," she spat, hating that the useless title actually helping that blowhard. "He pushed for your punishment too, stating that you left your post to an uncertified person that started an unauthorized looping which let another unauthorized person access to your station to which eight souls started to loop and almost unleashed a malicious looping entity species into Yggdrasil. He pointed that such actions should never have happened, that your decision to refuse the aid of assistants nearly unleashed a disaster on everyone and that such an action cannot be allowed to ever happen again. He called for an immediate vote to strip you of your Administrative duties and privileges, revoke the protection of Treaty of Yggdrasil for you and have you returned to Lyngvi in Gleipner chains as an example for future Administrators so they know why we have rules in place and the cost for breaking them." Skuld did her best not to explode in rage, remembering the stunned shock on everyone's face at what Zeus said and the slow realization that he was technically correct and was following the guidelines that they all agreed upon when becoming Administrators.
"And what did Zeus say after that?" Fenrir spat out, shaking in either rage or fear at the thought of returning to Lyngvi.
"Not sure really," Skuld grinned. "Probably 'Oww, oww, oww' or 'Stop punching my teeth down my throat Odin!' or something along those lines."
"Odin attacked Zeus for me?" Fenrir turned his head in shock, coughing a bit and rubbing his chest.
"Loki and Thor had to pull him off of the bastard, Loki saying that Odin had to maintain his composure and the standard the Norse Parthenon had established as their king," Skuld chuckled a bit. "Your father then used his staff to smash Zeus's favourite toy, stating that he was under no such obligations to act nice to the man that had just suggested to put his son in chains."
Fenrir's lips curled back as snickered a bit, before letting out another wheeze of pain breathing. He then looked at her with tired eyes. "How did the vote turn out?"
Skuld let out a sigh, unhappy with how the conversation was going. "Before I answer that, I need to ask you a question-my superiors want an answer before I give your sentencing."
Fenrir let out another soft growl, turning his head away. After some time, Fenrir spoke up. "What is it?"
"Why did everything happen?" she asked, causing the wolf to flinch. "He wants to know why."
Fenrir's ears folded against his head and tucked his tail between his legs as soon as she said 'He', both aware of who she was talking about.
"It began when I was first brought to Asgard," Fenrir said slowly, his voice unusually soft. "I was raised by them, taught everything they knew like I was an Asgardian. For most of my puphood to rearing years, I believed in my heart that Asgard was my home and they were my people," he let out a sad sigh, remembering better times. "They came to me, one day, to test some metal bonds they made knowing how strong I am. I thought nothing of it, a simple measure between warriors. I broke through it easily, and thought that was that. We even had a drink afterwards, although I should have realized that something was wrong when they didn't tell me what those chains were for."
A few days later, they came again with another brand of metal chains. Same thing again, they wanted to test my strength and whatnot. After I broke out of those, I could tell things were different. They were wary of me now, no longer inviting me to the bars or having me train with them or anything. Again, I should have been a lot more worried but...he told me I was being a worrywart, that I was royalty as the son of Loki, nephew of Odin, that nothing could happen to me without angering those two. The they came back with that accursed rope, the Gleipner," Fenrir spat the word out, ancient anger being stirred. "I wasn't going to listen to them, I didn't trust them that this was a simple piece of strand and I was certainly not going to let them bind me."
Fenrir let out tiny whimpers, trembling in the bed. The machine next to her that monitored his heart started to beep louder as he relived the worst moment of his life. "He told me to trust my battle brothers, that these were proven and trustworthy warriors and asked that if I didn't trust them to trust him," Fenrir's eyes were shut tight, paw curled up tightly. "He knew how sharp my teeth were, that they could cut through anything. So he told me that he was placing his sword hand on the line, on the honour of his word that they would release me after their test. They put it around me, forcing me to the ground," Fenrir opened his eyes up, staring at Skuld through teary eyes. "As soon as they saw that I couldn't move, Odin appeared and congratulated them for achieving their duty. He said that it was time to get the beast off Asgard soil at long last, and purge the taint that I had brought," Fenrir let out a tiny hiccup. "I don't remember much after that, but I do remember shouting as I thrashed around, biting down, the taste of Asgardian blood in my mouth, strong magic taking me away and the sheer betrayal of it all. I remember looking up at Odin on that fucking island, the chain holding me in place with Gelgia pinning me to the very earth, and holding that blasted motherfucking ascured sword in his hand, and he spoke to me. He told me that a beast like me had no place on Asgard, that hopefully that I would be unable to fulfill my density of bringing forth the true Ragnarok and ending his life. At that moment, that split second, I understood my fate was and what I was born to do. I understood the numbers counting down in my head were for, the time left until I had to bring forth the final Ragnarok, the true end of Everything. Then, before I could even say a word, he forced my mouth open and jammed that sword through my mouth," Fenrir rubbed a small area above his nose, Skuld able to see the open sword wound that never healed.
"Either I close my mouth and rip apart my mouth or I force myself to keep it open. He saw that and nodded in approval and left with his warriors, abandoning me to rot on that island until Ragnarok happened," he sighed, scratching the bed with his claws. "What they forgot that they taught me everything they knew, and that meant their knots. I was able to move my leftmost claw around. I don't know how long it took me but I finally mapped out the entire rope binding me and I slowly, painfully slowly, was able to untie one of the many knots holding me in place. Once one came loose, the rest came with ease."
Fenrir gave her a crooked smile, as he continued. "At long last, I was free to move once more and able to take that sword out of my mouth. Before they were able to come after me, I fled into the world instead of going to Vigrid. I was angry at the people who I thought were my kinsmen had made my entire life a lie and at what fate demanded me to do. I was so angry that I…" Fenrir shot her a pained look, unable to say what he did those years. "And after that, I was finally no longer filled with rage and I was able to think clearly..." Fenrir gave her a pained look of shame. "What I did those years still weigh heavily on me, and I know that killing Odin and bringing froth Ragnarok are only two drops in the buck of my many sins and crimes. I was really directionless at that time, unsure of how I could do anything that would be worth anything after all that I did pretty much earned me a death sentence everywhere. Then it happened, the Event. After making sure that the numbers in my head were sticking down, I made my way to Yggdrasil proper. I heard about the Treaty, the ending of hostilities and pardoning of all crimes for the common good of all existence. I was unsure of it, of course, as it was the Asgardians running the show but then I saw other massive criminals being welcomed in.
"I, and others, fought to make sure that this was not a trap, that they didn't damage reality just to flush us out. That you oathbreakers and liers were to keep your word this one time and that we would be trained to repair Yggdrasil and that when we were finished fixing reality, we would be allowed to live." the glare Fenrir gave Skuld reminded her the fact that not everyone was going to have a pleasant going away party. She was well aware of the fact that more than one promise of death from her Admins once the repairs were finished, that a lot of people were gunning to kill Zeus at the end of it all for the many stuff that had he had done-she knew for a fact that all that was stopping Hal from killing Le-Eyo slowly and painfully was the Treaty.
"After that, I was lumped back with the Asgardians and saw my true family again, Loki and the rest of my brothers and sister, and my sons. They took me in, welcomed me back without really prying into what I have done. I chose my Branches to Administrate over and...I failed utterly!" Fenrir growled angrily. "Both of the Branches I took, the roughest of the roughest, and I failed to get them Looping, I was completely unable to get them stable on my own," Fenrir let out a really tired sigh. "Everything I have ever done has caused pain and misery, either to myself or others. I… I think he was right, Zeus. This was a huge mistake," Fenrir's voice dropped to a whisper, "Maybe I do belong on Lyngvi…"
"You were in Valhalla!" Skuld shouted, tears running down her face. "I was told by him not to tell anyone but damnit Fenrir, when you fell in your office, you died. For a moment, you were in Valhalla, and he said that he was told you more than earned your place there as an Agardian but it was not your time!"
"I was in Valhalla?" Fenrir asked in awe, eyes wide in disbelief.
"YES!" She then leaned forwards, jabbing a finger into his chest. "Also, don't you dare scare me or anyone else like that ever again! I spent the entire time it took moving you from your office to here performing CPR and I have to say that was the most terrifying moment in my life!" She then leaned up, grabbing his face so she could stare into his eyes. "For the love all things, you are bleeding hero with a massive surprise celebration planned for you once you get better! Not many of us can claim that we would go above and beyond the call of duty like you did! Hell, for all that Zeus wanted to do to get back at Odin you just got house arrest that is only going to last as long as it takes for you to recover. Fenrir, you took on some of the most complicated branches out there and with the help of your family, you managed to turn them into the smoothest ones in all of Yggdrasil! Hell, Leman, Leah and the rest of your Loopers are worried about their friend -not Admin, but friend- as you had not appeared recently."
Skuld pressed her head against Fenrir's and sighed. "Fenrir, you big mangy goofball, do you know what happened when you were taken to Lyngvi?" Fenrir shook his head slowly but Skuld was not waiting for him. "Tyr, after being mauled and treated after you took his hand, saw Odin in his armor walk past him and went after him. Tyr then proceeded to beat Odin nearly to death for his underhanded actions to you and making Tyr an oathbreaker. The only reason why Odin isn't dead is because Tyr knew that Odin's death would break the world and that he had to find you. There is a reason why that winter was extra long Fenrir, and he was not going to have anyone try and interfere, not like they had a chance against you."
"Except for Vidar…" Fenrir muttered, the only warrior that managed to defeat him always rubbed the wolf the wrong way. "I haven't seen him in a long time. I thought he'd be here…"
"His density is to kill you, and after Tyr found out, he told your cousin one thing before he went to find you," Skuld gave a toothy smile. "That if Vidar took a step out of the royal palace, that he if left Asgard, Tyr would return and finished what he did to Odin. I think that Tyr forgot about his little threat as Vidar had not left the royal grounds ever since," Skuld sighed, rubbing his side affectionately. "Look, we all have our issues Fenrir, and your guilt complex that makes you take everything on yourself requires serious help and don't you say otherwise," Fenrir gave a little grumble but nodded his head in agreement. "I'm going to have to report it in and along with the other conditions that you have once you get back-"
"Conditions?" Fenrir blinked.
"You are to take assistants on to help you with your duties, you are to wear a heart monitor at all times until such a time your heart condition is taken care of, your terminals will be monitored to make sure that proper interaction is maintained, and regular health examinations, along with other minute details," Skuld listed off her head. "As I saying, along with all that, your recovery is going to be a rough one if you are stubborn enough to do it alone. Luckily for you, you've got a very big support team behind you that will never let you do it." She leaned up to ruffle the fur on his head, smiling from ear to ear. "You're one of a kind, Fenrir, true and true, and don't you ever forget it."
"I...thank you," Fenrir smiled, pulling her into a hug, nuzzling her softly. "You know, for the concept of the future that enjoys the usage of her hammer far too much, you are actually very nice."
"Don't let it get out, Fenrir," Skuld chuckled, patting his side. "Or I'd be forced to really become a tough girl that enjoys her hammer too much," standing upright and brushing herself clean of his fur, she let out a sigh, looking at the door. "Now, I think it is time to let the rest in." She said, her hand on the handle.
"Rest?" Fenrir tilted his head as Skuld opened the door.
"DAD!" Two blurs of fur shot through the doorway and leapt onto the bed, each burying itself into Fenrir's arms. Hati and Skoll both began chatting at high speeds, falling into wolf tongue as the two wolves pressed against their father. Fenrir spoke in their tongue as nuzzled them, doing his best to soothe their worries.
"Fenni!" Marianne shouted as she ran into the room, grabbing Fenrir's head in a tight embrace while placing kisses on his forehead. "You're awake at last, you had me so worried!"
"You should not have worried Marianne, Fenrir is one of the toughest warriors I have ever known and it would take much more than a simple bug to fell him," Thor said as he placed a hand on Fenrir's shoulder and squeezed gently. "We all look forwards to you regaling us in the lunch hall over a flagon of ale."
"While my brother drinks decaf or something along those lines," Jormungand said as he entered the room with Hel, Sleipnir and Epona in tow. "We've seen the reports about your heart brother and there is going to be a lot of changes in your diet."
"Feh," Fenrir grumbled playfully. "You're a bit too young to try and pull rank on me, Jor-"
"But I am not, my dear pup, and do not even joke about that kind of stuff," Loki rapped his knuckles along Fenrir's head. "Not after what happened."
"Sorry dad," Fenrir grumbled a bit more realistically, electing laughter from the people around him.
"Besides, you and I still have our little bout to do one day, boy, and I know you do not break your word ever," a figure spoke in a gruff tone, causing Fenrir to stare at the one eyed man. Fenrir studied his face for a while before giving a short nod to which Odin gave back. Much more private words were to be had later on, but for now, the air had been cleared.
For now, Fenrir and his immediate family celebrated the recovery of one of their one and bring Fenrir back up to speed. Although, there was one person missing.
The one handed figure in Fenrir's desk smiled to himself as the report that Skuld sent him. While it was as he feared, the fact that his dear friend was awake and feeling better made his day.
Still, he had other things to do before he could make things right with Fenrir and he gave his oath on that. He had been made an oathbreaker before because of other's plans for Fenrir and he would be damned that he would let it happen again.
With that, Tyr turned his gaze back to the Dark Millennium Branch monitor and the other monitors and did his best to do this duty.
