"I am glad I am here as well," Frigga answered gently. "And I hope that I will be able to stay with you for some time." The future was still largely unclear, but it was obvious that both of her sons needed her, particularly now, no matter how they had grown. She knew she couldn't be with them forever, but she hoped a little extra time together would comfort them in the trying times that were to come.

"And you are always my sons, my dear one," Frigga said. "No matter how old you are grow, or how long we are separated, I am always your mother."
