The Midgardian? - A Loki Story

VI. Loki part 10

This is turning into a mess. During dinner, I learned everything I wanted. She was adopted, no siblings, no parents. She was alone. I began to feel bad for prying into her life. But why, why was she the only Ladroian. Why do I feel bad for prying I should not feel bad for a mere mortal's pathetic life?
 

I stood on a branch as I watched her house. I saw her come out into the garden. I made some noise to let her know I was here. She held out her hand and I flew over to her. That's when I noticed...Her eyes...Her eyes were an Icy baby blue I don't know what this color means... I looked again and I could tell she had been crying...She began to speak. I sat very still. I guess she really doesn't have anyone judging by her choice to talk to a bird. She spoke with such sadness. I have never seen such sadness, nor have I ever seen a blue as I had seen in her eyes. I felt something in my stomach... was this pity, was this guilt, what was this feeling.

She put me down and walked away. The window opened and I flew to watch to see what she was doing. She lay there curled in a ball, bawling her eyes out. My heart broke for her, and I don't even know her whole story... I need more information on this, I must go find Thor.

"Thor....... Thor where are you."

"what, what...do you realize what time it is" Thor had a bit of irritation in his voice.

"Do you trust me" I asked hesitantly.

"You're my brother Loki, Of course. "

"can I talk to you about something... and you have to swear not to say anything until I find what I want to do with the information" I said in the most serious voice.

Thor looked at me as if he were trying to read what it was, I had to tell him before I told him to see if he could actually keep this information.

"yes brother, I will not say anything."

"I need you to tell me what you know about Ladros."

"Ladros, it's no longer even considered a planet, there is no life there" "why are you asking about Ladros" Thor asked with great concern.

I was quite for a minute...

"I found a Ladroian... I don't even think she knows what she is...She is the last Ladroian...ever."

Thor looked wide eyed and I could tell he was trying to wrap his head around what I said.

"are you sure loki...."

"I've been watching her...her eyes are like nothing I've seen except for Ladros and she has this way with plants..."

"oh god loki...How lonely she must be. To not know her people, her heritage, her life, to think she is a mere human when she is so much more."

Thor began to go into details about the Ladros history, most of which I already knew, some of which I didn't, like how Odin wanted the planets to join forces with marriage, about the royal Ladros family which apparently the king and queen were to have a child that one of them (Thor or Loki) was to marry to join the nations.

"it really is sad; this poor girl never knew her world...I wonder who she was" Thor rubbed his chin in ponder.

"what do you mean."

"I mean who was she... was she part of the tree families, the flower families, the water families...or was she part of the royal families"?

"how could you tell" loki asked with a lot of concern and eagerness.

"as far as I know each on had a birthmark on their right shoulder of their designated family...I believe it correlated to their family, is she was part of the tree family, she would have a small tree, flower to flower, and so on."

"what about the royal family"

"uhm- good question brother... its" Thor paused trying to think... I was on the edge of my seat.

"oh, that's right, Ladros was governed by the lunar cycle, so the royal family had birth mark of the moon on their right shoulder."

Thank you thor. This is great information; I will return when I know more information.

"don't forget about the key loki" "we still have a job to do."

I didn't pay no mind as I walked back out. I transformed back into bird form and flew to Lunas house. I didn't know what I was going to do with information. Luna was very upset yesterday at thinking she wasn't good enough, she must know she isn't just some pathetic human, she was basically a goddess of nature...my heart ached for her remembering her laying there crying I must tell her, but how I don't want to scare her.
