Peter chuckled “Don’t worry, My reports don’t mention what the children of this ship can and can’t do” He took another sip, it wasn’t long until he’d have to stop drinking, he was really starting to feel it “Earth, a small island in the Northern hemisphere in the continent of Europe, the Nordic North. Iceland it’s called. Home to the on of the biggest glaciers in Europe and one of the oldest parliamentary systems on the planet.”

“ Iceland “ Luna said. Her gases was dissent for a moment. She had never seen earth. But she know about Iceland it was Loki’s home. The father of her child. He had disappeared shortly after Cirenity’s birth. Tears streaked her face before she remembered where she was. When she came back to her sences she shook her head quietly wiping the tears away. “ I’m sorry that where Cirenity’s father is from his name is Loki he disappeared shortly after she was born. I gess I have bad luck” she said shaking her head and force long herself to smile. Cirenity was at the moment trying to get the XO to play peckaboo with her. The sight of witch did get a real smile from Luna. But it was a complicated experience a mix of sad and happy.

Peter furrowed his brow at her comment, an Icelander named Loki. It was an old name but fairly uncommon, he’d only ever known someone with the middle name. It was still associated as the name of a Trickster. “I see, Well if you give me his full name I can look into it, If he was born in Iceland there will be detailed files on him. I’d be able to trace his family if you don’t already have access to them.” He looked at the winged child “And finding an Icelander in space is easier than one would think, not that many of us out here.”

Peter

“ if I can ever remember what his full name was? I know he was definitely real she is a spitting image of him aside from the wings” Luna said referring to the child who cerinly had a mischievous look on her face. “ I remember him telling me about his family but I don’t think he had a last name. If I did not know better I’d say we were visited by only of the old Viking legends. Pritty fiting considering the name of the ship. Ether way the fewer people how know about Cirenity the better thank you for the offer thow “ Luna said with a smile.

Nevin obliged Cerenity by playing peekaboo. He wasn’t sure why Luna wanted to keep her childs ability private, but he didn’t ask. It wasn’t his business and he respected Luna’s choice.

“I’m not familiar with Earth legends,” Nevin said, “I mean, I know what a Viking was, but not what they did.”

Luna smiled. “ if I remember correctly the Vikings believed in several gods one of witch was Loki the god of mischief. He was always causing problems for both the people and the gods alike.” She said then looked at Peter . “ I’m thinking of the right legion right or did I get them mixed up” Luna asked.

Peter chuckled “It was slightly more complicated than that but the gist is correct” He downed his final drink “The Viking age is said to have been from the late eighth century of Earth to the year 1066. Vikings were seafaring raiders and traders, they took over large parts of the British Isles and were one of the earliest Western explorers of the now named America’s. They travelled around killing and raiding but also trading with the countries they visited. A common misunderstanding is that they were solely Nordic Pirates, to go to Viking was a term for both raiding and exploring. The age is commonly referred to have ended when the ancient Saxons defeated the Norwegian King Haraldr Harðráða at the battle of Stamford Bridge.” He took the tap of the bottle but before closing it he offered the Commander another refill “The gods, however, is a much longer story, most of what we know about them were either legends passed down or stuff written by a Tenth-Century Icelandic Christian, the Snorra-Edda. It’s a great read if you have the time. Fallible gods made for the greatest tales.”
