He finally wanted me to help him!! This was it! I was so happy in this moment. He was doing so much for me and now he wanted me to help him. This was all I wanted to do! I couldn't be more happy than I was in this moment. He waited for my answer. The nerves in his face had been showing.

"Loki, of course I will," I said. I sat my bags down on the couch and grabbed his hand.

"I've wanted to help you, from the first time we actually met," I said. Remembering the night I banished him. Had I known then what I knew now, I wouldn't have banished him.

"Good! I'm glad to hear it because I thought we could eat, and then got to the springs, it always helped me to relax," he said. I smiled and nodded.

Dinner was so delicious. The elvish man made venison with carrots and potatoes but didn't leave out the rosemary and sage seasoning. It was juicy and moist. I loved it. For desert he made us some apple pie. Handmade. I could get use to him. We drank natural spring water, from the spring of course. And then after dinner I grabbed my robe and conjured a bikini for the hot springs.

Loki decided to just wear boxer briefs. Once we arrived at the springs I laid my robe down on a rock near by. The springs was lit up with a blue glow. He helped me down into the springs. I hadn't thought about his gift from me.

"Okay first thing is, get comfortable and relax," I said. He nodded and closed his eyes.

"The second thing is to remember the good times you had with Beth, say her name," I spoke. He tilted his head back.

"Okay, Beth, we actually had some great times together," he started. That was a good start.

"Tell me a wonderful story, something that made you fall for her," I said. He looked at me and grinned.

"That one is too easy," he said. He began with the story of how they met.

"It was a crisp fall evening. Down on earth women would wear long prairie dresses and some were fancy. She was middle class. Her dress was Scarlett and her hair was pulled back in a twisted little bun with two strands of hair one each side of her face. I thought she was another commoner. But she proved me wrong. I bumped into her by mistake and she was so mad, but she kept her temper at bay, I liked to call her my raging prairie girl," he laughed.

"She told me how rude it was to not watch where I was walking, but I gave her a run, I told her she was to high class to be walking on the street, I misjudged her really, she laughed at me and said 'I am not a stuck up brood' and I laughed, we actually hit it off great," he stopped. He looked down at the water.

"Would you like to see her?" He asked. He could make her appear?

"I would love to."

He began twirling the water. The water began to mirror a woman. She was smiling and beautiful. She looked like someone I knew. She was so beautiful. She had her hair up like he said. And she was wearing a Scarlett colored dress. He began to tear up when he seen her. I waved the water and deflected the image.

"She was beautiful," I said. He nodded.

"Yes and I forgot how much I loved her. But we love so much, and it doesn't always last, but I can tell you the moment we fell in love," he said. I nodded.

"The winter of that year, I had come back to her after being away for a weeks time, she was so excited to see me. We had been courting as the people would call it, for three months. My father didn't like it but at this time he didn't do anything since it hadn't gotten to serious. She seen me, and ran into my arms. And in that moment I knew I didn't want to be without her again. So I looked at her and before I could say 'I love you' she says 'I already know' and that is how we knew we were in love."

"Loki, that is beautiful, I can't believe you shared that with me!"

"Well, I told you I want to get over this grief, move on, maybe live a life of happiness," he said. I nodded.

"We can continue this session again later," I said. He nodded.

"Good, right now, I want to show you something that I think you'll love," he said. I nodded to him.

He began to swim over to the waterfall. He held his hand out for me. I took it. He then grabbed my hand and took me behind the waterfall. Inside was a cavern. It was lit up with glow worms and lights everywhere. Magic! He used magic to make this cavern have light! It looked like an old cave from way back years ago. When men and women lived in caves. It had stairwells wrapped around it made from rock and vines.

"Loki it's just, beautiful," I said. I was always so in shock at everything he did for me. He was the sweetest god I've ever met. And I've only met 2.

"I wanted to show this to you because, if you should ever need a place to come to, this will allow you to portal in through this cave, no one else can portal unless they've been here. And no one else has, I've never brought anyone before, if you should want to leave, or come here, this cave has a portal," he said. I looked at him.

"You trust me to stay?"

"I trust you to do what you want to do."

"So you just think I'll stay on my own?"

"I think you love it here and you want to help me."
