Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I sat at the breakfast table, sipping my coffee while listening to my kids bickering about what to do for their school's show and tell. After Orion suggested bringing his weapon to school, I decided to butt in. " First off, no weapons to school, we agreed to this when I gave you them. Second, how about all three of you take one thing so you don't bicker between each other."

" Well, what should we take then?" Jack asked me before continuing to shovel eggs into his mouth.

I looked around the house, thinking of what those three rascals could bring. Most of the stuff was either a weapon or hunting trophy, so that was out of the question. As I kept looking around, my eyes fell on Mimir who was on the countertop next to the toaster, and a devious smile made its way onto my lips. Mimir saw my smile and got worried. " Brother, why are you looking at me like that?" Instead of answering, I got up and grabbed him from the countertop, and bought him over to the table.

" Kids, I give you your show and tell project."

" Hold on Brother! I'm not some trinket to be shown off! I'm the wisest of the Aesir and a god."

" And you've been mopping around here, doing nothing but watch t.v. and critic what they should have done. So really, this is just as much for you as it is for them." I patted the top of his head before going back to the kids. " So, you three finish up your breakfast then get ready for school."

" Okay, dad." The three of them finished up their breakfast then made their way to their rooms to get ready. But before that, Scoots took Mimir with her.

While they went to go get ready, Jackie called me from the other room. " Are the kids on their way to school?"

" Yeah. They're gonna take Mimir for show and tell, so they should have an interesting time."

" Speaking of interesting time." I heard Luna say from the same room. I looked to where they were in the other room and was met with both my loving wives leaning in the doorway, wearing black lingerie socks and a sultry smile. " I believe it's time to make things... interesting~." She told me while Jackie leaned into her chest and giving her neck a lick.

" Gods above." I shook my head before draining the rest of my coffee and started unbuttoning my shirt. " Get those flanks up the stairs, the big bad wolf is on the hunt~" They both squealed as they ran up to our room with me not too far behind.


Scoots, Orion, Jack, and Mimir. 3rd POV


The siblings and head were walking to school as they normally do, though they tried to get the sound of their parents fooling around out of their heads. " You know, I love dad and our moms, but they could at least wait till we're out the door," Jack said while cleaning his ears.

" I think they thought we were already out the door," Scootaloo said while noticing Orion shake. " Hey, you alright?"

" Yeah... I'm fine. Just... trying to un-hear what mom said in the RCV ( Royal Canterlot Voice)." He took out a box of milk duds and tried to get some, but his shaking just made the candy go everywhere. " Jack, help me steady my duds." Jack grabbed Orion by the arm that held the candy, steadying it for the time being. " Thanks, bro."

" Anytime." The trio of children and god continued on their path to school. A moment later, they arrived at the schoolhouse just as the first bell started ringing, and Miss. Cheerilee was out to greet them.

" Good morning Miss. Cheerilee!" The three of them greeted their teacher while hiding Mimir for the time being.

" Good morning you three. I hope you're ready for Show and Tell?" The three of them nodded while wearing bright smiles. " Good to hear, now go take your seats."

" Okay." The three siblings went to take their seats next to their aunt and friend who got there earlier.

As the day went on and the lesson plans were done, Cheerilee called out for Show and Tell. Diamond showed off her tiara. Silverspoon showed everyone the badge her grandfather earned in the guard. Twist got everyone excited with the candy she made the other day and shared it with the class. Snips and Snails had the same idea as the three siblings and showed the class a rock they thought looked like an egg, only for it to actually be a snake's egg, making them and most of the class scream.

After Cheerilee sent those two out with the snake, she faced the class. " Now then, with that out of the way, let's have Jack, Orion, and Scootaloo present their Show and Tell." The three of them went to the front of the class with Mimir under a cloth. " So. What have you three brought today?"

" Not a what, but a who." Jack's correction made Cheerilee and the rest of the class raise a brow. Orion held Mimir outstretched for everyone to see while Scoots hovered on the other side to unveil him as Jack continued. " Miss. Cheerilee, fellow classmates, I give you the wisest of the Aesir," Scoots then went and unveiled him to the class. " Mimir!"

The entire room gasped at seeing the bodiless god after so long. Mimir gave them all a smile while looking at them with his one eye. " A pleasure to see you all again after so long." The kids got over the initial shock and waved to him and said hello. " Now, since these three have done the honor of showing me, how about I tell a story?" This earned an excited cry from most of the students.

Miss. Cheerilee had some reservations about this. " I suppose you can, but please nothing too graphic. We get enough of that when their father visits."

" Lass, you have the word of a god, no distasteful words shall pass my lips and into the ears of the innocent youth." Cheerilee seemed satisfied and smiled toward the god before nodding to continue. " Very well. So, what tale should I tell you all?"

" Ooh, Mimir, tell us about Thor's first encounter with the World Serpent, Jormungandr."

" Aah, now that is a good one. Well, as I recall, the feast hall in Valhalla had just been completed. The roof was thatched with golden shields, the rafters were made from the shafts of spears, the benches were strewn with mail armor, and all five hundred doors had been completed, where eight hundred warriors can stand shoulder to shoulder and pass through each one with ease." As Mimir told the tale, every kid had a slack jaw and wide eyes, even Cheerilee was affected by the description of Odin's great hall. " Yes, we all thought it was perfect as well, but after we had a look around we realized we were missing something very important. A mead cauldron."

" Seeing our dilemma, we sought after the largest and deepest cauldron in all the nine realms. As luck would have it, there existed a cauldron that was a mile deep, and a mile in diameter. The only problem was, it belonged to the giant Hymir, and as some of you know, we Aesir don't have a good relationship with the giants of Jotunhiem. In fact, the only god that didn't see a problem with this was the thunder god himself, Thor."

" He traveled to Hymir's home in the guise of a young boy so he wouldn't raise suspicion amongst the other giants. He traveled to the realm of Jotunhiem where Thor found the giant's home, which was so tall, clouds would pass through the rafters. The door was so large and heavy, that not even Thor could open them, however, he was able to simply walk under the small opening in the door. Once he was in, he found Hymir cooking his supper with the very cauldron the gods sought after."

" When Hymir saw Thor in his disguise, he asked 'What are you doing in my home, boy!?'."

" Thor went to the giant and proclaimed, "I come seeking that cauldron for my home, and I'm willing to challenge you for it.'. The giant laughed at the boy's spirit and had him sit with him for supper."

" When the meal was done cooking, Thor would take two of everything Hymir ate. When Hymir took a bulls shank, Thor would take two. When Hymir took a side of beef, Thor would take two. Eventually, all the food was gone and Hymir was furious and still had an appetite to slate. 'Look here, boy! Thanks to you, now I have to find more food for the morrow.' This made Thor laugh."

" 'Then how about this old man. You and I fish for your food tomorrow, and if I get the biggest catch, then that cauldron is mine.' The giant laughed, for he thought how could a boy fish the biggest catch when he himself always returns with at least two whales. But, he agreed and they prepared to head to Midgard to fish. When they made it to Midgard, Thor realized he had no bait. 'Hey, where's my bait?'."

" 'You ate my supper, you find your own bait.' And find it he did. With his bait swaddled and the nets ready, they set off toward the open sea. Once they were far enough out to sea, Hymir threw his nets and within moments, pulled two whales from the sea and onto his boat. 'See that little one, that's how real men fish!'. Thor merely chuckled before taking the helm and sailing them further out to sea. They sailed soo far out, Hymir actually became fearful of the monsters that dwell beneath the surface. Once they made it far enough, Thor unrolled the cloth, revealing a bull's head as his bait."

" Thor hooked the head and weighed it down with lead before tossing it into the ocean. With the lead weighing it down, the bait sank to the bottom of the ocean, where a great beast was awoken. While they waited, the line tightened and Thor started pulling the rope while getting rid of his disguise, making Hymir panic at the thunder god. As Thor kept pulling at the rope, the sea would writhe, and the earth beneath the water shook as if it might crumble. Suddenly, a massive serpent head rose from the waves with the hook embedded in its mouth. What rose from the depths, staring at the giant and the thunder god, was Jormungandr."

" Thor glared at his catch and raised his hammer, Mjolnir. 'Come serpent! Face your destiny!' Thor made to bash the giant snake's head in, but Hymir was terrified of what the battle might do to Midgard, and him in general. While Thor gathered lightning to strike the beast, Hymir took his knife and cut the rope, freeing the serpent to return to the depths. Thor was very angry that his mortal enemy escaped his grasp and turned his rage on the giant. To save himself, Hymir gave him the cauldron for Valhalla. And that's Thor's first encounter with his mortal enemy. Any questions?"

The first hoof to be raised came from Pipsqueak. " How can there be a cauldron that big?"

" Because, lad, it was made by giants, and many of their creations are very large. I remember once when Thor, Loki, and a mortal boy ventured to the kingdom of Utgard-Loki, and on the way they stopped inside a cave with five small chambers for the night, only to later find that it was a giant's glove." The students were all bewildered about the size of such a glove.

" Why was the giant afraid of a big snake?" Diamond asked.

" This was no ordinary snake lass. This was Jormungandr, the snake that wraps around the whole of Midgard with his tail in its mouth." The kids went wide-eyed after forgetting that detail. " Any other questions?" No one raised their hoof due to the shock of hearing about the beast. " Well then, I bid you all good day." The kids brought him over to their desk as Show and Tell continued.

" Thanks, Mimir, you were great." Orion complimented while patting his head.

" Anytime lad, just don't use me for a ball again!" The kids laughed while watching Applebloom do her Show and Tell.


Author's Note

Let's face it, you were all hearing Mimirs voice when he told the tale of Thor. This was just something I wanted to do before getting back to the main story. And now, on to the Olympics! I mean, Frycook games! I mean, Equestria games! Yeah, that's what I meant.
