I took a deep breath going to sit next to Frigga and Loki. My dad and mom not taking their eyes of me. A put a smile on my face and went to sit down. Odin stood up.

 "I would like to welcome our guests from Midgard who came to Asgard due to a series of unfortunate events." I tried not to laugh, thinking about the Lemony Snicket books. "But we welcome them in Asgard just like any other guests. I'd like to make a toast for them." All eyes were on me and my parents. I wanted to hide in a hole. It was a bit embarrassing. "So raise your glasses to Steve, Amelia and Nyx!" All the God's and warriors at the table cheered. I looked down a small smile on my lips. I could tell Loki was watching me. The feast began and Frigga turned to talk to me.

"So Nyx how do you feel about this? I mean it must be shocking for you." I smiled and nodded.

 "It's madness. I've been interested in Norse mythology for the past 10 years and to find out that the thing you've devoted all your free time to learning about, is real. It's crazy." Frigga smiled at me. I saw Loki turn to me.

"Nyx. That's an interesting name." I smiled to myself.

"It's not my birth name. My birth name is Lucy. I changed it to Nyx when I turned 18. Nyx is the Greek goddess of the night. The daughter of Chaos. I felt like this appealed to me plus it's so much better than such a common name like Lucy." Loki smiled at this. I should have known he'd like it. One of the main mythological stories about Loki is that he came from the land of fire, from Chaos itself.

 "That's very interesting. I bet you have many questions about Asgard." I nodded.

 "Like there are so many things that I want to know. The mythology have got Thor's and Loki's appearance totally wrong. Especially Loki." Loki faced me once again.

"Oh and how do they portray me?" I giggled. "The mythology make you out to be a middle aged man with red hair and beard. The comics on the other hand, make you out to be a very muscle and wearing a suit like Superman." Both Loki and Frigga looked at me confused. Of course Nyx you're an idiot. They have no idea who Superman is.

 "Who is this super man? Why is he so super?  Is he a God?" I shook my head.

 "It's a fictional character back in Midgard, who fights evil and what not." They nodded.

"So what would you like to know? I can answer any questions you may have?" I gave Frigga a thankful smile.

 "Thank you your highness. One of the questions is are Thor and Sif married?" Both Loki and Frigga burst out laughing making everyone at the table to look at us. I blushed.

 "What seems to be so funny my dear Frigga?" Odin seemed interested as to what had made Frigga and Loki laugh so much.

"According to Midgardian mythology Thor and Sif are married." Everyone at the table laughed out loud Thor and Sif included but I swear that for a second I saw Sif blush. My dad and mom both looked at me, smiling. "Many Midgardian stories get everything wrong." Everyone, still chuckling, returned to their conversations. Frigga turned to speak with Odin and Loki once again turned to me. "I want to apologize for disappointing you with my appearance. Although I really want to know, which one do you prefer?" I blushed and look down at my plate, earning a smirk from Loki. I must say I preferred his real appearance. If I said that he wasn't attractive I'd be lying because he was very attractive.

"I must say that your real appearance is rather pleasing to the eye." I was still looking at my plate but I could tell he was smirking.

"Why thank you for your kind words. Any other questions? I will try and answer them as best as I can." I looked up at him and saw he was smiling at me. It was a sincere smile.
