*Skylar's POV*

It has been 18 years. 

18 years since our mother and father passed away. Alora took the throne after Milo and Alstor left. Zoey stuck around after mom and dad left. 

We never opened the box they left us when we were 8.

Open when you're both 27. 

And today was the day. "Skylar open it!" Alora kicked my leg while I held the note.

To our girls,

Your mother did not want to write this so I am. We did what had to be done. To keep you both safe. In the box is something from your mother and I. Take care of it for us. 

~Your Father

"Open the box Alora." She opened the box and gasped. It was mom's dagger and dads. 

"Wow. They gave us this?" 

I held dads in my hand. It had something engraved in it. 

'Ultimately when you reach for it. It's not there.' 

I smiled and held moms. "Let me see moms they say something when together." She nodded and gave me mom. 

'Love is a dagger,' 

I gave it back and a tear escaped my eye. "Keep them both. I have my own. Mom and dad must have though you would understand the daggers." 

I smiled as she left. I pulled them both out and a small card fell from the box. 

Love is a dagger. It's a weapon to be wielded far away or up close. You can see yourself in it. It's beautiful. Until it makes you bleed. Ultimately when you reach for it, it's not there.

~Loki

Mom had put this here. I held the daggers in my hands. I stood and walked to the stables. 

Spartan has been my horse since he was born. I hopped on him and put the daggers in a bag and rode to what was our home. 

The graves of our parents. I sat down in between their graves and held the daggers. Tears ran down my face and I was crying for a few minutes when I heard a whistle.

I wiped away my tears and got back on Spartan. We walked into the woods and I saw two kids running around the woods. 

"Loki, where are you?" 

It was my parents but as kids. She whistled and he whistled back. They faded away then I saw my parents as they were before they died. He whistled as he walked around the trees. She whistled back. He hopped in the tree and faded away. I got off Spartan and walked to the tree. I put my hand on the tree and sighed. 

"I wish you guys were here." 

"We are." I spun around to see my mom standing behind me. "Mom?" She nodded. "Look at you Skylar. Figuring out our puzzle." Dad came out behind her. 

"What?" 

"Your mother and I thought you would get why we gave you the daggers. And what the words ment."

I nodded and looked at my dad. "One is for you. And your lover." He faded away along with mom. I reached my hand out and let out a sob.

"I will not let you down mom and dad." I walked back to their graves and let out a whistle. No one whistled back.

I rode back thinking about what he said. 

'One is for you and your lover.'

Maybe there was hope when they were gone. Or am I wrong?

End

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope you enjoyed this book. I am learning to write smut but after this book I think I have the hang of it. The next book will be more of the bad and angry Loki.
