Introducing Runa of Asgard from Thor
Her story begins in Asgard. Daughter of a noble archer who served under Odin, King of Asgard. As a child, she would often spend her days practicing archery with her father. She always hoped that she could someday be able to make her father proud and be one of the first female archers in Asgard.  Her and her parents were always at grand feasts whenever her father was invited. She would often see the young princes from time to time, and sometimes play some games together. 
Time passed, and Runa’s skill with the bow proved worthy for the all father. She became the first female archer in all of Asgard, and would sometimes fight along side Lady Sif and the Warriors Three. She also got to see more of her childhood friends more often. She couldn’t believe how much they have grown. How handsome they had become. How headstrong and proud Thor was. How sweet, gentle, and caring Loki was. Things were peaceful and happy, until Thor’s Coronation.
The threat of frost giants entering Asgard made Runa nervous, and it didn’t help that all Thor wanted to do was cause more violence. Luckily, Loki was always there to calm her down. When Thor suggests going to Jotunheim to seek answers, Runa is hesitant to go. Once Loki decides to go with Thor, Sif, and the Warriors Three, Runa decided she had to go and help the two people that have always meant the world to her. Regardless of her father’s disappointment, she wasn’t going to let her friends risk their lives alone. Throughout the entire time, Runa stood by their side and fought the Frost Giants. However, she noticed Loki constantly staying by her side. Protecting her no matter what. Even when Odin had come to rescue them, Loki held on to her to make sure she would join them home safely.
As Runa came back to Asgard and walked back to the palace, her mind was all over the place. She was scared to face her father and Odin, but she was also scared for Thor and Loki. When she did find her father, he was upset but not disappointed. If it were him, he would’ve done the same to make sure the Princes were safe. He could tell she was incredibly worried about them still, but reassured her they would be ok. The longer she waited, the more worried she became. Her worries ceased when she saw Loki returning. She immediately ran towards him and threw her arms around him. All Loki could do was hold her tightly. He didn’t think anyone would be happy to see him until this moment. Sif and the Warriors Three soon joined Loki, Runa and her father. Loki informs them all of Thor’s banishment, which sends mixed feelings. 
Runa got to spend some time to herself after hearing of the news. Loki needed to be with his father, and the others were too much to handle. They kept mentioning conspiracy theories of Loki plotting this whole situation. Runa was worried for Thor, but all she could think was how Thor did this to himself. That Loki didn’t deserve any of this controversy. Even if he did tell someone they were going, she knew they all would’ve been dead had they not. With all this thinking, she didn’t see a very distraught Loki until he laid his hand on her shoulder. He then asked her for a private conversation, and he took her to the Weapon’s Vault. There, he attempted to hold the Casket of Ancient Winters and showed his true self to her. He confessed that he was a frost giant all along; Laufey’s son. He told her how Odin took him in only to be a bringer of peace for both realms, but Thor ruined those plan and that he had now fallen into the Odin Sleep. He told her that knowing that he is “a monster”, it was time he confessed his true feelings to her. That even thought he’s loved her for so long, he feels as if he can never be with her because of what he is. He says his goodbye after giving her a simple kiss on the forehead when Runa grabs his arm and stops him. Tears started falling down her face as she confessed to him that nothing would ever make her think differently of him. Loki meant the world to him. He and Thor were her best friends, but Loki grew to become the love of her life. The two shared a very passionate kiss. 
With Thor gone and Odin in the Odinsleep, Loki become King of Asgard and betrothed to Runa. Runa stayed by his side through everything, even if it was against bringing Thor back. She deep down thought that this banishment would be best for Thor and Asgard, even if she would miss her friend terribly. In her spare time, she would often spend time either with Loki, her father, or Frigga. Little did she know about Loki being responsible for the frost giants entering Asgard in the first place, and Loki’s plot to kill Laufey to prove he was a worthy son. When the Frost giants and King Laufey come to Asgard to kill Odin, Frigga and Runa defend Odin to the best of their abilities. Luckily, Loki came to the rescue and killed Laufey. Everything seemed to be ok, until Thor came back to Asgard and told the women EVERYTHING Loki had done. The two fought against each other, and all Runa could do was panic and question her betrothed while Frigga stayed with her. 
Once the Frost Giants were defeated and the realms back at peace, Thor returns to Frigga and Runa. Despite everything that she had found out, Runa kept asking where Loki was. Thor couldn’t seem to hold back his tears as he told her how Loki had fell into a portal. All Runa could do was fall to her knees and sob. Thor hugged her and let her cry on his shoulders. The love of her life that she couldn’t wait to marry was gone. Forever. 
Or was he????

Pride and Prejudice
TITLE: Pride and Prejudice CHAPTER NO./ONE SHOT: Chapter 38 AUTHOR: wolfpawn
ORIGINAL IMAGINE: Imagine Loki was raised on Jotunheim as Laufey’s son after the war, but an agreement was then made that he would wed Odin’s daughter so Odin could secure the alliance of Jotunheim through the marriage. Loki, in turn, was raised to be king of Jotunheim, but how he views Asgard is far different from how Odin’s daughter is raised leading to a clash of cultures as well as uncertainty between the pair of betrothed youths.     RATING: Mature   NOTES/WARNINGS: Forced Marriage, not all fun and games. My first real step back into the Loki scene in over a year.
Tags - @skulliebythesea @asimovethroughthisworld @blackcherry26-blog @we-shadowhunter2901
Ella used her seidr to plough the snow in front of her and compact it enough to have it easy to walk on. Behind her, the majority of the men left in the city that housed the Jotnar palace were with them, ready to assist people to leave their homes as a result of Laufey’s orders. 
“That is an interesting ability to have,” Greta commented. 
In the hour they had been walking side by side, neither woman had said anything to the other. 
“It is a learned one. It takes many hundreds of years of practice, then, by the time you die, you supposedly realise that you barely knew anything, to begin with. Or so I am told, personally, I think I know more than most considering my ability and age.” She smiled as she lifted her dress to step over a large portion of ice. “I rarely seem to use it for anything but convenience though.” “Makes one wonder why you would invest time in it, to begin with, if all it does is make things more convenient.” 
Ella could see Greta’s point. “When it is needed for other matters, no skill is greater. My grandfather, Bor, he was a seidr wielder too, it allowed him the power to defeat the Dark Elves, my father holds Gungnir because his seidr is even more powerful with it. The reason specifically why His Majesty was all too happy to take my father’s offer of an arranged marriage between Prince Loki and I was because, with my inherited ability to easily be trained in seidr, I bring with me a new ability to the Jotnar royal line. It is a rarely required strength but one worth having should it be required.” Greta said nothing for a short time as she walked along beside the Aesir princess. She thought over what Ella had said as well as thought over other thoughts that came into her mind as they made their way through the snow. One thought came to her more than others as they did but Greta did not think it something she could ask. 
“There is something you wish to know.” Greta looked at Ella in shock. “I can all but read the thoughts on your face. You want to know why I chose you, don’t you?” “Can you read minds?” Greta became fearful at the thought. 
“No, I just can read beings. I have been around too many for so long to not have learnt many things.” Ella explained. “With regards to why you specifically. I want to get to know you a slight bit more and you do not seem to want to bury me under several meters of solid ice, so I figured this to be as good a time as any to talk.” 
“Why?” “You like Helbindi, do you not?” “I do.” “And you do not overly dislike me?” “I do not dislike you in the slightest, I think you brave for not only coming here when you knew many would loathe you and you fought to stay and have done nothing but want better for our realm since you first set foot here,” Greta smirked. “And how you treat those who dismiss you is something I will never cease to enjoy.” “Being female is not a sign of weakness, nor is it a prerequisite to being such.” Ella looked at the frozen ground in front of her. “Is there supposed to be running water here?”  
“There was, apparently, before the war, it is long gone. How could you know that?” “When I use my seidr to move the snow, it gives me a general feel for what I am moving, in case there is a chasm here that I am not aware of, it has alerted me to flowing water. “Really?” Greta could not contain her excitement. 
“Yes, so this is good, for the record, Jotunheim is not defrosting?” “No, this is not good, it is a miracle. We never thought it would happen again, my mother spoke of it as an impossibility.” 
“Now you get to tell her otherwise.” “She is dead.” “I am genuinely sorry to hear that.” In truth, Ella was. 
“Without the Casket, any who get ill did not last long.” “Yet you do not hate me for my father’s actions?” “You did not take it and it was taken for the actions of Jotunheim, to be angry with the Allfather would require being angry with my father, who stood and slaughtered Midgardians which caused this mess.” She stated sadly. 
The silence returned for a while before the women had travelled what they could of the day. The murmur amongst those with them as to there being water flowing in Jotunheim once more lifting spirits as they did so. 
“Can I ask you something?” Ella looked over at the Frost Giant. “The customs of your realm?” “Which ones?” “The ones between mates.” “What of them?” “Who thought to ever do such a thing? To have affection for another so to attach to one another by the mouth. Who thought that was something to do?” 
Ella laughed at the explanation. “I have no idea. Loki would love your analysis on it.” “Did he find it odd at first?” “When I explained what two young Vanir in the gardens of the palace were doing, he first thought they were trying to eat one another and when I explained it, I think I made him at risk of seeing his breakfast again. He was nauseous from the mere thought of such things. Though, learning the etiquette of kissing the back of a hand served him well, I think that was as far as he could ever be pushed.” Greta frowned. “So, he never kissed you?” “Norns no. He sees it as odd, which I can see the reasoning for.” She shrugged. 
Greta noted the slight sadness in Ella’s features at saying that. “You wish he did not?” She ventured. 
Ella admonished herself internally for not hiding her emotions well enough. “In Asgard, it is normal, to not express affection in such a manner after a lifetime of thinking it normal leads to complex feelings on the matter. It is not of great importance but it is a peculiar feeling.” Seeing that the princess was not pleased with discussing the issue, Greta contemplated not speaking again before something that she had hoped to ask anyone Aesir or Vanir on came to mind. “Whatever about the mouth-kiss thing but what in the realms is it when mates use their mouths elsewhere? Is that truly something beings do?” Knowing what the Frost Giant was referencing to, Ella snorted a small laugh. “I am no use to you regarding that matter on an experience level, but I can say from speaking to women who have done it and from having read about it, it is common in many places.” “Helbindi has been pleading with Prince Loki to ask you to give him the book on such things,” Greta informed her. 
“I know, he tried to have Arden ask me too. The thing is, it was not a book but at least a hundred. Beings from different realms love to write in regards to sex and everything pertaining to the topic, I have found.” Greta found herself laughing. “He is adamant to know of it.” “And no doubt put it to some form of use.” 
Greta nodded. “Yes.” 
Ella smiled. “With you?” “If I am lucky.” 
“He does think a lot of you. I see him look at you across the throne room,” Ella informed her. “I do think he wishes very much wishes to be your mate and I think you well suited, not that my opinion matters any bit.” 
“You are an unbiased source, so I take your statement over that of others. You have no agenda to push on this matter.” 
Ella gave a small smile and got into the bed she had used her seidr to make for her, ensuring that Greta had something similar. 
“I have to ask though, with everything that happened with Býleistr and his mate, with how she was Prince Loki’s love before, how do you think this will go?” 
“If I am honest, I am not sure. I cannot pretend that this is all going to go well but it is not about how things are with Loki and his brother but about Jotunheim and the safety of us all.” Ella stated firmly before trying to get some rest, thinking the same herself. 
*
It took a few days to get to the location where they would part ways with the men. On route, they warned all they saw of the order from Laufey hoping the Jotnar would listen to them and make their way East to where they would be more protected. 
With directions to their destination, Ella and Greta began the walk alone, not thinking of much other than what was required of them on their journey. 
When they arrived at the location, Ella frowned slightly as she looked at the building in front of her. It did not look like a palace or indeed a grand house, if anything, it looked like nothing she had ever seen before in the flesh. It had the appearance of a fortress over anything. They arrived at the gates, unsurprised to see them locked. With only a flick of her seidr, she had them opened and walked in. 
When they arrived to the main door, it took even less effort to unlock them also. She looked around the bare hallway they found themselves in before thinking of what needed doing. Beside her, Greta looked somewhat uncomfortable.
“Býleistr?” Ella called out harshly. “I need to speak with you immediately.” Her voice echoed through the hall.
The sound of a door opening close by telling her of the location of the older prince. She waited for his arrival apprehensively. 
“Why are you here?” He growled as he came into sight. “How dare you come here and demand my presence.”
“I did not demand it, if I were demanding, I would have told you to get into my presence immediately as I was going to speak with you, not implore that I needed to, and, since you are asking why I am here, that answers if you have left here any time recently. War is upon us.” 
“What?” He demanded, his concern clear to see.
“Alfheim is at risk of falling, as you know, Jotunheim is the closest realm to it. If we do not prepare, we could be next. Loki and Helbindi have already joined my brother, the Light Elves and the Vanir. His Majesty wished to allow you a few days recovery before calling on you also but Jotunheim can wait no longer, she needs her third son to join the fray. The last remaining guards are gone to get the people to bring them to the East, if you remain here and they breach the realm, you will be cut off from the rest of us and will not last long against their magic, you need to get back to the palace.” “My father banished me here.” He snarled. 
“He sent you here to quell unrest, giving you time away from the talk of others with your mates, you know this was not a punishment, not in the true sense. We all know that were Laufey to command it, you would know the true meaning of suffering. Cease acting as though you will not return, you know you will assist with this, you were raised for this and are a damn good fighter who enjoys a fight so don’t pretend you are not already considering going.” She turned to leave. “Why did my father send you?” “Because the men are needed to assist those who need them, you are too remote to simply trot here and then continue to them. I offered to inform you.” “Why?” “Because, as your brother’s mate, my being here should show you the severity of the situation.” 
“How do I know this is not some sort of trick?” “You mean by my father to bring down Jotunheim from the inside?” Býleistr nodded. “Because were that the case, you being here alone and unaware of such things would actually have benefited such a plot, because I broke through your defences without alerting you until I called your name.” Býleistr frowned and looked at the door, noting that she had, in fact, done so. “Because if my father were to think of something like that, he would not give one single solitary care to you and your mates as you are of so little importance to him that he would most likely forget you and they even existed because as far as the guarding of Nine Realms are concerned; you, Býleistr, son of Laufey and Fárbauti, are so far down the list of issues he would see fit to be concerned about, that you would not make it into a thousand-page book of said list, I am sorry to inform you. I respect that in your personal thoughts, you are your paramount concern, as indeed we all are to ourselves, but to my father, the Allfather, King of Asgard and protector of the realms, you are nothing. I could obliterate you right here and now, so you cannot fathom what he could do but he would not do such a thing, nor will I, we need you alive to help our realm.” Býleistr shook his head. “I will not leave to help Asgard.” “Odd you should say that since none have asked such a boon of you.” “You mentioned ‘our’ realm.” “Yes, a you and I inclusive ‘our’. I am referencing Jotunheim, our home, our realm. I know you have yet to see past my appearance to see me as of here, but I am the mate of your brother, the children of which will be of Jotunheim, raised as Jotnar. All I do, I do for Jotunheim but you are so busy hating my skin to realise it.” She looked to where she could now see Alma and Angrboða watching them. “If anything, you should like me, I opened the door to you getting your second mate and talked Loki into not wanting to have you skinned for it. Now, get what you need and come on. It’s not a swift journey.” 
“I do not take orders from you.” “I do not take no for an answer, so decide now if you want to be forced back by my seidr or your own free will because we are going back to the palace and you will be facing your father, so do you do so as a son willing to serve him or as a man forced back who disobeyed not an order from me, but his father.” Ella challenged. 
Býleistr snarled for a moment. “What did you mean ‘It is clear I did not know’? Did you think I had a part in this, that I would do such a thing?” 
“I did not know, such as I do not pretend to know what you are thinking now with regards to how you wish to return to the palace.” She looked at Greta. “We have done as instructed, so I suggest getting a few moments to compose yourself before we return, however our mates’ brother decides he wishes to do this.” 
“So you expect us to just leave and follow you, is that it?” Angrboða growled. 
“I have stated that it is the order of our king, so on the presentation of such knowledge, yes, I do.” 
“You think we take orders from you.” “You take orders from your King,” Ella stated each word with enunciation and loudly. “You are not above him, nor are I or indeed your mate, lest you forget you are not the child of the king but the simply the mate of said child, the same as for me. I offered to come to show the severity of the situation and upon order from my King to ensure your return, I will follow said order should my last breathe be caused by it. Only I will not be at risk of such, for none will be so stupid as to challenge me on it. Now, I will ask you once more, please, get what you need, I can use my seidr so we do not need to carry it back and we can leave as soon as possible. Seeing you travel amongst those forced to flee will give them a sense that you are there for them, it will strengthen their thoughts, not just of your father, but of you specifically for standing with them.” She looked at Býleistr as she spoke the last few words. “They want to feel safe, you are a known fighter, you will make them feel so.”
Býleistr contemplated her words for a moment. “Alma, ‘Boda, get your belongings, we leave as soon as we are ready.”  He stated, walking towards his mates. “Stay here,” He ordered Ella and Greta. 
“I am going getting something to eat,” Ella stated, heading towards the area she hoped housed the kitchen. “We have not eaten since breakfast and we are hungry and I can literally smell the food from here and I am not leaving with an empty stomach. You pack, we eat.”

Pride and Prejudice, Chapter 38
Story Summary - Based on an idea I had that I submitted to Imagine Loki. Imagine Loki was raised on Jotunheim as Laufey’s son after the war, but an agreement was then made that he would wed Odin’s daughter so Odin could secure the alliance of Jotunheim through the marriage. Loki, in turn, was raised to be king of Jotunheim, but how he views Asgard is far different from how Odin’s daughter is raised leading to a clash of cultures as well as uncertainty between the pair of betrothed youths.
Chapter Summary - Ella and Greta speak as they make their way to Byleistr and his mates, forming the buds of a friendship.

“How do I know this is not some sort of trick?” “You mean by my father to bring down Jotunheim from the inside?” Býleistr nodded. “Because were that the case, you being here alone and unaware of such things would actually have benefited such a plot, because I broke through your defences without alerting you until I called your name.” Býleistr frowned and looked at the door, noting that she had, in fact, done so. “Because if my father were to think of something like that, he would not give one single solitary care to you and your mates as you are of so little importance to him that he would most likely forget you and they even existed because as far as the guarding of Nine Realms are concerned; you, Býleistr, son of Laufey and Fárbauti, are so far down the list of issues he would see fit to be concerned about, that you would not make it into a thousand-page book of said list, I am sorry to inform you. I respect that in your personal thoughts, you are your paramount concern, as indeed we all are to ourselves, but to my father, the Allfather, King of Asgard and protector of the realms, you are nothing. I could obliterate you right here and now, so you cannot fathom what he could do but he would not do such a thing, nor will I, we need you alive to help our realm.” Býleistr shook his head. “I will not leave to help Asgard.” “Odd you should say that since none have asked such a boon of you.” “You mentioned ‘our’ realm.” “Yes, a you and I inclusive ‘our’. I am referencing Jotunheim, our home, our realm. I know you have yet to see past my appearance to see me as of here, but I am the mate of your brother, the children of which will be of Jotunheim, raised as Jotnar. All I do, I do for Jotunheim but you are so busy hating my skin to realise it.” She looked to where she could now see Alma and Angrboða watching them. “If anything, you should like me, I opened the door to you getting your second mate and talked Loki into not wanting to have you skinned for it. Now, get what you need and come on. It’s not a swift journey.” 
“I do not take orders from you.” “I do not take no for an answer, so decide now if you want to be forced back by my seidr or your own free will because we are going back to the palace and you will be facing your father, so do you do so as a son willing to serve him or as a man forced back who disobeyed not an order from me, but his father.” Ella challenged. 
Býleistr snarled for a moment. “What did you mean ‘It is clear I did not know’? Did you think I had a part in this, that I would do such a thing?” 
“I did not know, such as I do not pretend to know what you are thinking now with regards to how you wish to return to the palace.” She looked at Greta. “We have done as instructed, so I suggest getting a few moments to compose yourself before we return, however our mates’ brother decides he wishes to do this.” 
“So you expect us to just leave and follow you, is that it?” Angrboða growled. 
“I have stated that it is the order of our king, so on the presentation of such knowledge, yes, I do.” 
“You think we take orders from you.” “You take orders from your King,” Ella stated each word with enunciation and loudly. “You are not above him, nor are I or indeed your mate, lest you forget you are not the child of the king but the simply the mate of said child, the same as for me. I offered to come to show the severity of the situation and upon order from my King to ensure your return, I will follow said order should my last breathe be caused by it. Only I will not be at risk of such, for none will be so stupid as to challenge me on it. Now, I will ask you once more, please, get what you need, I can use my seidr so we do not need to carry it back and we can leave as soon as possible. Seeing you travel amongst those forced to flee will give them a sense that you are there for them, it will strengthen their thoughts, not just of your father, but of you specifically for standing with them.” She looked at Býleistr as she spoke the last few words. “They want to feel safe, you are a known fighter, you will make them feel so.”
Býleistr contemplated her words for a moment. “Alma, ‘Boda, get your belongings, we leave as soon as we are ready.”  He stated, walking towards his mates. “Stay here,” He ordered Ella and Greta. 
“I am going getting something to eat,” Ella stated, heading towards the area she hoped housed the kitchen. “We have not eaten since breakfast and we are hungry and I can literally smell the food from here and I am not leaving with an empty stomach. You pack, we eat.”

Best friends with the god of mischief (chapter 6)
TITLE: Best friends with the god of mischief CHAPTER NO./ONE SHOT: Chapter 6 AUTHOR: foreverdrivinginpuddles123 / lokistories123 ORIGINAL IMAGINE: Imagine being friends with Loki. After a while you start having feelings for him, but you don't tell him. One day Asgard's enemies try to go after you and Loki takes you to Asgard. Loki and Thor defeat the enemies, but you and Loki decide it is better for you to stay in Asgard for a while. One day Loki comes back from a mission. He tells you he found out that he's a frost giant and that he is most likely adopted. Loki can't cope with this and he gets really angry. Whilst you try to calm him, he quickly yells that he's in love with you. RATING: Teen NOTES/WARNINGS: LOKI’S POV from the moment he left to go to Jotünheim. This chapter is a bit short, but important none the less. I tried to quote the loki/odin scene as much as I could. I only quoted Loki and figured Odin’s lines up as I typed Loki’s Quotes.
WARNING: Violence and mentions of sex and killing/murderrrr
Word count: 1658
Chapter 6
Why the hell would father send me away this quickly?! He knew my first priority was to make Y/N blend in and feel comfortable. Also: teaching her magic before anything bad would happen if I didn’t.
But there would be no discussing with him at the moment. He was already pissed of the things I’ve done the last 3 days, so I would just do as I was told. For now.
I told Y/N she mustn’t worry, and that Frigga will take good care of her. I told mother that if I were to go for battle, she would look after Y/N.
Me, Thor, Sif, the warriors 3 and other soldiers quickly went to the Bifröst.
Heimdall was already informed and the Bifröst was ready to go.
We got send off to Jotünheim.
The winds could be very cold this time of year and no-one wanted to die because they froze to death. And we were on a planet that was basically ice and snow. Everyone was luckily so smart to dress for the occasion, but of course THOR forgot.
“Brother, aren’t you missing something important?”
“What? I’ve got Mjölnir, and that’s all I need.” I rolled my eyes so much they would pop out it I did it even more dramatically.
“You dumb oaf, you forgot your fur cloak.” Luckily for him I used my magic to give him one anyway.
“Thank you Loki, it seems I’ve forgotten it.”
“No shit Sherlock.”
“Who?”
“No-one….” Y/N said this to me all the time and she also explained what it meant. This was one of the things I would remember and also one of the things I liked about her: she was just so sarcastic as me.
But back to the battle of course. It took us almost 4 months to find Malekith and when Thor quickly got a notice of Malekith, he ripped his head of his body. You should’ve seen it. Most dark elves were quickly killed after their ruler was death. Everything was quiet, for a while.
“Rather odd, don’t you think your majesties… All elves, but not ONE frost giant?” Sif was quite the clever girl. Thor was right to have chosen her to court. Not one of those dumb low-rank girls with nothing but sawdust in their heads.
Right after Sif spoke we got attacked by frost giants. We had to give all we’ve got, or we’d lose. As I was about to throw knives someone yelled: “What’s out! If they grab you, they’ll burn your arm!” Great something to look out for.
I kept throwing knives and even used some clones as well. Right as I was about to throw another knife, a frostgiant grabbed my hand. But instead of burning my hand, my hand turned blue and had frostgiant markings over them. I was confused and the frostgiant was looking confused at me as well until he had a smirk on his face. That smirk quickly left his face for I stabbed him to death.
Thor saw all of it. He quickly ran to me.
“I do not know what I just saw brother, but we mustn’t worry about this right now.”
“YES WE DO!” With that a wave of my magic left my body and hit everything within 300 meters.
“We need to tell father.”
“YES, and he’ll bloody explain as well!” I was filled with rage and anger and wanted this battle to be over as soon as possible.
It took us a while to fight all the frostgiants but when they noticed they were losing they quickly ran off.
We immediately returned to Asgard. The wounded were picked up quickly by the healers, already standing by.
“You need to go directly to father Loki.” Thor said this right after we arrived in Asgard.
“I will.” Was all I could manage to get out of me.
But I saw Y/N running towards me. I couldn’t bare it. If I were what I thought I was, she had to stay the hell away from me. It would explain a lot of things, but this was madness. I had a fast pace and walked past her straight to my chambers. When I got there, I closed the doors.
I could hear her knocking and screaming what was going on, but I needed some time to let everything sink. Thank the gods she didn't learn the unlocking spell yet.
I also closed the door that led to her room. I could hear her enter her chamber. She was probably led through the servant’s quarters and to the servant’s door. Again, she tried to get to me, but that door was also locked. When I could hear her fall asleep, I went to the weapons vault.
There was a casket stolen from the frostgiants that stored their life-force in it. A.K.A. their icy powers. When I grabbed the casket, I could feel myself turning. The frostgiant markings and the blue skin tone went as far up my arms as I could see and when I looked up to the big mirrors on the walls I could see myself. I looked like a monster. When I looked harder I could see the markings were all over my face and my eyes were ruby-red.
“Thor has told me about the situation on Jotünheim. I think it is time for me to tell you the whole story.” There he stood. Odin, king of Asgard. And obviously now, NOT my father. When I was younger I’ve learned that frost-giants are both genders. They have both a woman’s and a man’s birthing organs. So basically, one frost-giant has sex with the other and then there’s a frostgiant baby. There is no breeding possible with other races.
“You’ve got quit some explain to do, ODIN.” The term father will never fall from my lips again if I am speaking to or about him.
“My son, please let me explain… I..”
“Am I cursed?”
“No, you’re my son. Remember the battle of Jotünheim? That’s when I took the casket from Laufey.”
“What more than that? The casket wasn’t the only thing you took from Jotunheim that day, was it?”
“No, there was a baby. You. It was Laufey’s.”
“Laufey’s son? “Why? You were knee-deep in Jotun blood. Why would you take me?”
“I couldn’t let an innocent child die alone, starving and in need of a parent.”
“No. You took me for a purpose. What was it? Tell me!” I was filled with rage and ready to kill Odin. Right here, right now.
“Since it was Laufey’s son, I took you also as a threat to Laufey, to let Laufey know that he lost.”
“So I am no more than another stolen relic, locked up here until you might have use of me?”
“No, you’re not. I’ve made you my son. I knew one spell, to give you the look of an Aesir, and so I did. I took you in and me and Frigga raised you as our son.”
“You could have told me what I was from the beginning. Why didn’t you?”
“Because we saw no need to bother you with this information, because you were our son from the moment I first held you in my arms. There was no need to tell you or any other Asgardian about your heritage.”
“Why? Because I am the monster parents tell their children about at night?”
“No.”
“It all makes sense now why you favoured Thor all these years, because no matter how much you claimed to love me you could never have a frost giant sitting the throne of Asgard!”
“No. It is true, you’re not my favorite son, neither was Thor. It was Baldr for a long time, until he changed. After that, up until now,Thor has been my favorite. But that has nothing to do with who you are! You are my son and that’s what you’ll always be. Yes, we have our differences, but so do I have those with my other children.”
I was speechless, I was so angry at him, but I also understood him.
“The first reason you’ve taken me, is a reason for me to kill you right here, right now.”
“I know my son. But I promised to tell you the whole story, didn’t I?”
The bloody fool he was. He just ruined my life with a few of his words.
“I am a monster Odin, and I’ll always be a monster from now on. All those thought I’ve had and still have, all those little animalistic tendencies. It all makes sense now.”
“You’ve had them in the past, you’ll have them now. It doesn’t change a thing.”
“It changes everything! What happens now? I now know how to take THAT monstrous form. What happens if I slip Hmmm? Will you have me killed?”
“Never, the people shall know it then, and that will be it.”
I couldn’t believe him. I pushed him aside and went back to my chambers, where Y/N was waiting on the edge of my bed.
“Now is NOT a good time Y/N!”
“Loki what is going on? Stop being such an ass and just tell me what happened.”
“No, not yet Y/N! YOU NEED TO GIVE ME SOME TIME!”
“Okay.”
“Okay?”
“Yes, it’s not so hard Loki. I’ll give you time, I’ve already given you 4 months, so what are a few years more?!”
She ran towards her chamber and slammed the door.
I needed to find a way to tell her. But how?! I am a monster, how will she ever respect and accept a monster? The first thing I wanted to do before the frost giant grabbed my hand, was kiss her when I would return. Tell her I love her, want her.
But now, how can she love me? A killer monster with monstrous traits? She deserves better and it is best if she leaves for Midgard as soon as it is possible.
