Even in the pleasant atmosphere, a dark aura seemed to settle upon Iduni's shoulders, as if the very essence of the grim were settling upon her. She slowly turned her head, one corner of her mouth twitching into a menacing smirk.
"Chop....chop.....chop." she seemed to mutter, making a chopping motion with her hands. She turned her head back to the table, picking up some form of animal meat from her plate and ripping its flesh off with her teeth.
Andvari gave an exasperated sigh. "It's amusin' ta think she's actually not 'evil', that treacherous little vixen!" the dwarf gave a hearty laugh. "But then aye... Aye, she had quite a personality change when Loki died. She used ta be this sweet 'n gentle lass, wasn't verily strong, eitha'. But I'd say that's all changed now!" he gave another chuckle, walking off to attend to the beckoning Frigg.

Andre glanced at Iduni's chopping motions, still trying to stifle his laughter. He had his gargantuan fangs buried in a piece of fruit, and was trying to be as civil as you can be eating when you have a pair of gargantuan fangs. Damn Army experiments- that had practically become his mantra over these past months as a vampire.
He finally turned to Iduni.
"Are you okay, kid?"

The small child raised a brow, a skeptical look on her face. She appeared to be reading into his thoughts for a moment, and was silent during that moment before she spoke.
"You don't have to come with me, you know. To Nifleheim. You seem to think you are evil because of what you are." she paused, glancing at Ganondorf. "That thing there? That's evil. Not because of what he is, but what he chooses to be. There are others in Asgard like you. Only really, they were born the way they are, and though some choose to be bad, others choose to be good. Its really just a matter of choice."
She continued munching on whatever creature had been cooked up and served, quite brutal in her chewing she was.

Glancing at the girls eating habits, the King snickered. The show of power was quiet amusing as well. She had proven her worth to him somewhat, but to fully earn his respect, she'd need to to better. Regardless, this was not the time for him to be getting into this girl and who she was, rather, he needed to learn more of this land he had abruptly found himself in. Glancing to Induni he snarled slightly before he spoke, not so much in anger, but instinctually.
"What more can you tell me of Nifleheim and Asgard. I assume there is some on going struggle between the two... cultures?"
Asgard seemed ripe for the taking. Its people were innocent. Its warriors naive, from what this oddly clothed boy showed him. He hadn't even bothered to speak to the pathetic being, he wasn't even worth his glare.

Iduni paused, deciding how to word it.
"Asgard is the world that separates your world, which we fondly called Midgard, from the realm of the gods, Valhalla. Nifleheim is connected to both Midgard and Asgard, however, it does not necessarily quarrel with Asgard. At one time it did, several times I'm sure but the largest war between the two was called Ragnarok, but it was more a war among the gods than of the people."
She paused, her eyes seeming a bit distant. "It was really a misunderstanding and it led to so much tyranny." again she seemed to pause in memory, before shaking back to reality. "Frigg offers sanctuary to the creatures of light, and Hel offers sanctuary to creatures of darkness. Its as simple as that."

Waking up to the feeling of hitting the ground from a high place riding in a droplet, he realized that he had just fell from a high place and crashed his hydromobile into the ground. Not surprised of his survival he was surprised by the fact that the location of where he fell was not his forest, the demon realm, or any place he had been for that matter. The oni Jujuganta appears as a normal human wearing white fisherman's shorts with a beautiful gold floral pattern and wooden sandals. Although his clothes seemed normal, if not a little eccentric, his hair was most unusual taking the shape and colors of a foxes ears that looked as if it had the texture of a cloud or cotton. He also wore a large iron belt shaped like a tube around his waste holding a decorative head in the front, that appeared as a hog with extraordinarily long lower fangs. On this belt he wore an oaken colored sheath ending with a serpents head; inside the sheath was a blade dyed black. He quickly rose from of the ground and preformed a full 360 spin, eying his surroundings. In this viewtiful spin he saw most peculiar creatures.
A beastly looking warrior who's armor resembled a dragon of some sort. There was a horn pertruding it's head and he, she, it had the tail and hooves of some sort of horse. The warrior looked just as feirce as it did ugly and Jujuganta decided to see who or what else was in this area.
A young girl with Sleek wings of black and spectacles that, where he is from, signifies weakness. He did notice however a certain aura about her that clearly showed she had some power within her. A soul with ambition to grow is not as delicious as one that has matured. It was best to let her live...for now.
A pair of youths who clearly were important to where ever they hail from. "It seems there are a lot of out-of-place beings around." They both seemed quite nervous. The girl looked helpless as well, she seems very frail and the other must be her bodyguard of some sort. He on the other hand has a great strength to him, although he has such a tiny frame. He doesn't seem convinced of his power, he is constantly looking around and alert of his surroundings.
Jujuganta sensed a feel of warmth, too much warmth for any demon to have. As he gazed looking for it's sorce he saw a young girl draw the green from everything surrounding her. Even a butterfly rested on her hand. She clearly was pure of heart and her soul would be most delicious to the Demon King, but how was he supposed to return to the demon realm anyway?
"Best to wait and see what shall unfold here, now where can I get some information?" He whispered to himself as he looked for some being that looked..."official". He set his eyes on two heavily armored guards that would certainly have information, for if not it would seem they were unqualified for there job in the first place.
"You there guard. From the looks of things something has clearly happened here and I'm sure you have the bit of knowledge I am seeking, meaning...what exactly is this place?" The guard eying the demon spat out an annoyed response "Ugh!!! You must be Jujuganta. Well let's see your resume'; it says here your occupations are master of the katana, soul collector, chef of the demon king, king of the hungry wood, merciless killer, eater of children, action figure, and...master of the universe? well you sound evil...odd, but evil. Anyway yer supposed ta' go to the Grand Hall for a huge dinner. Too bad the escort to the grand hall already left. If you hurry you maybe be able to catch up to 'em. How fast can you run?"
The demon looking quite amused said "Quite fast, but I am not evil. My brother spread those horrible rumors about me through many worlds and now I am stuck with this terrible reputation. As for the feast, I would much rather walk or even stick around. Those people over there are guest aswell, are they not? I'm sure they will still be serving food by the time we all go. Although between you and me, I wouldn't trust that sketchy dragon fellow...thing, he is quite...unusual."
"Haha, I see what you mean, do what you will, just try not killing anyone or cooking for the demon king, will ya?"
"Thank you sir, do not worry. I will behave, as I usually do." and in that final lie he paced around a bit, and then paced some more, thinking on the situation. Jujuganta decided to head up towards the grand hall, where he easily sensed the fresh foot prints. He followed the scent and made his way to the dining room, and without hesitation he quickly walked into the room, knowing that if he was discovered lurking, too many questions would be asked that he surely did not wish to answer. Standing in the doorway he bowed waiting for someone to acknowledge his presence...

Andre walked up to the newcomer, extending his hand for a shake.
"Glad to see you. I'm Andre Milente, and I'm sure you'd like to take a seat."

Pondering the gesture, Jujuganta had remembered the ways of the western barbaric men from his home. They would shake hands as a way to greet people, like bowing. He took the man's hand and gave the man the best hearty manly shake he could. This Andre fellow had very...strange clothing. Clearly it was meant for camouflage. but it's design is really...strange. the hat is what is really confusing, it looks like a folded napkin. The red eyes and fangs aren't human born, it is the look of a demon. "This is one strange man" Jujuganta thought in his head.
"Glad to make your acquaintance." Jujuganta said while shaking the man's hand. He took a glance at the other's. One was a large man, with dark skin, orange hair and demonic armor. Clearly he possesses great power and could certainly serve the demon king. The other's were a small girl in red and white accompanied by a burly dwarfish fellow. The two seemed to belong in this world and Jujuganta would certainly expect them to know plenty about this place. Another figure was in his presnce =,b ut he wasn't "In the mood" to make anymore analysis' until he sat down. All he can say is that she also looks like this is her home world. He walked with the camo-man to the table and was quickly served with some large meat of some sort of strange beast. Jujuganta dug into that meat like there was no tomorrow and he soon discovered that too many eyes were on him to make a fool of himself like that. After wiping his mouth he just had to ask. Facing the young girl hje spoke "Excuse me girl, but you seem a lot older than you are, I am guessing this is not your normal form and for some reason you have decided to take this form for the day. I am also guessing you are the highest form of authority in this room, so could you please explain what is going on?"
((not anywhere as good as before, kinda rushed it))

Iduni raised a brow, staring at Jujuganta. "I'm not very high upon authority but the gods rely on me." she pointed to Frigg, who sat upon her throne, discussing something with one of her guards. "She's the one who has the highest authority on this plane. Hel in nifleheim, and Odin in Valhalla."
She took a sip from a glass set on the tablem avoiding the question about her true age and form. "I can only tell you so much without direcly intervening. After all..." she paused, raising her eyes, which were most definitly not the eyes of a child. "...I am also a god." She gave a slight smirk and a chuckle, returning to drinking her...whatever it was.

Jujuganta was correct in both that "Iduni" was not normally a child in this was her home realm and also in that "Frigg" is from this place too. Not wanting to interrupt her conversation with the guard, the oni once more turned to Iduni "well, I surely do not wish to be rude enough to speak with her during their mingling. Could you then tell me what you can tell me without "directly intervening" or at least reveal what these fellows know, unless, of course, they are as puzzled as I?" Then sipping his cup of what appeared to be water, but on his tongue tasted....bitter. "bleh, strong"

Iduni closed her eyes a moment. "All will be revealed in the near future, if the two travellers do not perish." Iduni stood, leaving the area of the table, and disappearing out the door, where she perched upon the railing. It would be time to take the evils to nifleheim soon. She yawned, gazing around Telythia.
So pretty...she missed her days here with Loki, it had been their favorite place to play hide and seek...

She was tired. And hungry. That was the extent of Rosel's thoughts as she trudged through the forest. Though the trees held an odd fascination for one who had never seen them save for from above, the luster soon wore off as they continued to block the sunlight keeping her warm. As many creatures she saw scurrying between the dark boughs, she didn't know how to cook one, though killing the creatures at random gave her a small sense of satisfaction, at least until her hunger finally took over and she gave up on her diversions.
She wondered, stepping carefully around a tangled briar bush, if those villagers had been lying. Granted, they couldn't have known she was listening, but one can never know. Where was the tree? The glowing city? The passage to the dead city? The banquet for all those popping in from other worlds? Her stomach growled audibly and she sighed. Maybe a squirrel wouldn't be so hard to skin.
She looked around for a moment and realized with a small twist of fear all the animals had disappeared. The breeze died after a moment and the woods were silent. Breathing heavily, pushing down the dry knot in her stomach, she closed her eyes against the suddenly vacant woods. Concentrate, she told herself and took another step forward.
And as suddenly as a summer storm, there it was. Telythia, glowing like a thousand fireflies, the great Tree towered over it, laden with the life of the world.
Rosel tried not to curse as one final bramble swiped at her leg wings. She was still tired, and still hungry, but there would be food here, like the people said, food. She could barely see the great hall, nestled in the branches of the tree, and found herself racing toward it before she had intended to. It didn't matter; if Frigg saw to wipe her out of her city, a crimson stain against the green glow, fine. But she was getting some food if it killed her.
It was further to the gate than it looked, and Rosel was flat out of breath by the time she reached it. Huffing, she climbed the endless stairs and along the broad platforms. Finally at the top, she collapsed to the side of the final stair. She could feel it now, the rustling and bustling of the people inside, it nudged at the back of her mind like something forgotten. But the twist in her gut was stronger and it growled its insistence. "Eat first, then find the way...to the bad place..." She huffed her promise to herself, not letting even her hunger deny that she want to go where she knew she belonged. Collapsed against the side of the stairs, head against the cool floor, she wondered for the first time how she would get inside.
