Loki became silent when John said that he was really privileged in this regard. He had all the luxury one can think of. Being a Prince he never cared about it. But what John said was right. Now Black Winter was coming and all the past grievances needed to be together to save themselves.
"I hope we all can be together to face the upcoming danger." John said.
"Agreed. We need to be together. And I need to go to Norn Cave. Who will accompany me in this?" Thor asked. Strange got up and even Zatanna. John expected Strange to go with Thor as he had seen the future. But never expected Z to join.
"Don't want to meet Constantine yet?" John asked.
"Who cares of that assh***? I will meet him when I am in a good mood." Z said.
"Mother, you should go back to Asgard with Loki." Thor suggested.
"Yes. You should go back, Queen Frigga. I don't think the TVA will come after you anymore. The future is already in the garbage bin. There is no point anymore to fear them." John said. Frigga nodded at it as she really missed her home now. Especially after the death of her husband.
"What shall we do about our other sister?" Loki asked as he remembered another sister being present in the universe.
"Heven isn't exactly friendly to the nine realms. Opening that realm will cause a war. We will have to tread very wisely here." John said.
"Opening the realm? What does that mean?" Loki asked.
"The current 9 realms were once 10 realms. Your father sealed away the 10th realm, known as Heven after a war which broke out for supremacy of all realms between Asgard and Heven. In that war my daughter was kidnapped and killed. In anger, your father went to the Yggdrasil and cut away Heven from the World Tree sealing away that realm forever. We always believed that my daughter was killed." Frigga said.
"Until now..."
"Yes, I can sense her in that realm. But in order to save her we will have to do a tough fight. This will be an uphill battle to free her as she has already been brainwashed by them and she doesn't even know her own heritage and birth." John said.
"How dare they kidnap our sister and brainwash her? I will kill everyone in that realm." Thor said with anger.
"For once in life, we agree with each other, brother." Loki said. John shrugged at it as Heven really needed a kick in their posterior to remind them who was the boss in all the realms.
"Before saying such big things, get your power. Then we can talk about your sister." Frigga said as she too felt a little angry for being deceived by them and losing a daughter.
After a small chat with everyone, Thor, Strange and Z left for the Norn Cave where the Water of Sights was present. Every realm has it's reflection in the Water of Sights and all of the wells were connected to Yiggdrasil and originated from the Well of Mimir, the place where Odin got his power and knowledge.
Frigga, Loki, Krtaos and Atreus and Erza left for Asgard. Erza left with them in order to see her future home. Since John had said that the Fairy Tail would arrive on Asgard she needed to see the place with her own eyes.
John went to rest after everybody went away as he was a little tired from all the fighting. Especially him being impaled was painful. Even though he healed with no scars he still didn't like it.
He just went to bed and slept. He was so exhausted that he slept till the next day. He felt refreshed after waking up. He called Audino and the Spirit to make him good food as he was hungry and needed a recharge for his body.
He was having a good time when he heard a knock at the door. Audino went and opened the door only to see Thor whose vest was in tatters standing. With Z and Strange standing behind him.
"Come in." John siad.
"Can I have some sleep here my friend?" Thor asked.
"Sure. Audino, take him to the guest room." John said. Audino led him away to the guest room so that he could rest. Thor looked like he had a tough battle.
"Did he dip in the water with all his clothes on?" John asked.
"Yes." Z said.
"No wonder his clothes are in tatters. Did nobody tell him not to do so when you go swimming?" John asked.
"We wanted to but he jumped before we could say anything." Strange said.
"No wonder. Was the journey successful?"
"He hasn't spoken a word after coming out of the pond. He just asked us to take him to the Ring as he needed a good sleep."
"Hmm. Let him wake up. We will know what his deal is."
