The Midgardian? - A Loki Story

Part 31

I looked stunning. The gold dress fit me in all the right places and now that I didn't have the marks and had the serum Frigga made, I was able to wear more revealing clothes. The back of the dress was open, and I could feel Loki's chill hand on my back as we walked into the ceremony and took our seats facing the crowd. In a matter of minutes, the entire room was filled to the roof with the kingdoms people.

Odin stood. "Welcome people of Asgard to the ascending ceremony. Before we begin, I would like to make an announcement. Loki, please stand". Loki stood releasing my hand so he could stand tall and face Odin. "Upon his marriage to the princess and following through with his duties, Loki is reinstated Loki, Prince of Asgard." The crowd clapped and he had a big, accomplished grin on his face. He waved and sat back down grabbing my hand. I looked at him in approval knowing how much he wanted this.

"Now, for the moment I've been waiting 23 years for..."

Oh shit.... that's right. Today is my birthday. How could I have forgotten. I mean I know how I did due to everything that has happened these past few weeks...

I looked at Loki and he could tell I was scared. "It's ok love, I'm right here if you need me" he squeezed my hand before he let go.

I stood before Odin.

"Luna, do you stand before me ready to accept this gift and fulfill your duties to Asgard as its new princess, to nurture and care for our planet as your own and guard this key with your life."

"I do."

Please turn and face your people.

"People of Asgard, I hereby pronounce, Princess Luna Xavia Odinson, mother of our planet."

Odin placed the amulet around me neck, clamped it and let it hang.

The amulet was beautiful and only slightly heavy. It was in the shape of a crest moon with a glowing green gem in the middle of it. 

"Luna, when you are ready, state your name and proclaim to accept the gift."

I took a deep breathe and looked at Loki for moral support. His smile gave me the confidence I needed.

"I, Luna Xavia, accept this gift" I shouted throughout the entire room.

The amulet began to glow ...
