Word has reached Wothyn that his ravens did their duty, and gave the new Goddess Vykoria the dream of where his son was entombed. After [Insert Here] number of years, Thor has returned. The Pantheon may at last be able to reconvene…

[AN: Yeh nah not gonna put a number in there]
Wothyn, Thor, Freja, Tyr, and even Loki gathered in the mead hall specific to their shared legends. Given that one of their number was a trickster, the assembly was a little bit tense.
"Given that you were so kind as to send rescue to me alongside your favoured son," said Loki, "I'll behave myself for the time being."
"You know it will end badly if you don't," warned Thor. "Is being trapped in the belly of a volcano worse than being tied up under the dripping fangs of a snake?" He leaned closer to the trickster, smirking, "Do tell me, I'm curious."
"I'll have to get back to you about that. When both of those experiences are equal memories." Loki made a show of being the epitome of good behaviour, though the manifestation of a halo over his head was a little on the wobbly side.
"Right," drawled Wothyn. "Intrah sends his regards, glad to get you back on the job of thundering, Thor. Same with handing earthquakes back to Loki. I want to make it clear that we are not, at this time, plotting any revenge against Maugamu."
"I said I was going to behave myself," protested Loki.
"And anyway, the missionaries chiefly responsible were swallowed with you," said Tyr. "They didn't last so long, as I recall."
Loki muttered something about collateral damage under his breath.
"I agree," said Thor, "there are better ways to teach people not to barge into another god's territory and try throwing their weight around. Even though Maugamu overreacted, I'd be the same if a host of Aurorus' priests tried to build a different temple on one of my mountains. It's just rude."
"The point remains, we're all together now," said Loki. "What's the plan?"
"The same thing we do every time there's cause for celebration," said Tyr. "Throw an enormous party!"
"I'll get the giant kettle of mead going," said Freja.
