Fenris grinned a little as he leaned in, eager to hear about their mother as Jor paused, pondering how best to start before deciding to just jump in. "out mother was a Vanir." he finally informed them. the Vanir where old school. they where what was left over from the last universe. creatures of light and purity, they where much like guardians of Fate. some of them could see into the future, and worked hard to avert total destruction, and to save certain select individuals that where needed 'in the grand scheme of things'. not even Odin would mess with a Vanir... at least, that was what people thought, apparently they where wrong if Odin had messed with a Vanir by taking her baby. "she was an exceptionally beautiful Vanir, with hair like spun silverlight, and eyes as blue as the deep skies." he admitted with a smile. "she's actually the one who took Odin's eye. because he took me away. that's what she told me anyway." he admitted. "but she was weak from childbirth, and Loki was locked up to prevent him from interfering. by the time Frigga freed Father, i was gone and Mother was almost too weak to make it. Father had to carry her all the way back to Vanahiem so the other Vanier could heal them. when Fen was born, she fled to earth, to me, hoping that i could help protect her. Odin knew that he was coming, so he once again restrained Loki, went to earth, and took Fenris... i still don't really know what happened. i drew my sword, i rushed him, and then i woke up, with a mouth full of mud and blood in the water." he admitted with a shake of his head. "Mother once again almost died. the Vanir never have easy pregnancies, and for one Vanir to survive childbirth once, let alone three times is almost miraculous..."
he paused and closed his eyes. "and then you where born." he whispered, smiling at Hela. "she was so happy, so excited to have a little girl growing in her belly. she named you Hela. Light in the Darkness..." he paused again. "Odin tried to outright kill you. i think he knew that you where destined for something amazing, something great.... something he was afraid of, because he drew his dagger and tried to kill you and mother...." he paused, swallowed again and closed his eyes. "Mother shoved you into my arms, told me to flee, and tried to defend you. Odin thrust his sword through her, and that's when Thor came with Frigga and the second Eldest Vanir and all of them started screaming at Odin. Mother was dead, the leader of the Vanir was dead, and Odin was henceforth cursed for all eternity for slaying a Vanir, and for trying to play with the fate of the world. that's why you where left to live. the Vanir warned Odin that if he ever tried to kill one of the children of Hayla, our mother, again, he would find himself swept out of existence. i guess he forgot, because he's trying to have us killed now. either that or he doesn't fear the threat, or thinks he can negate it by making others do the dirty work..." "is that why Odin never fathered anymore sons?" "yes. the Vanir cursed him impotent. he can't even get it up anymore."
