Krystal

I've taken my time to take note that two guards pass by my cell in forty five minute intervals, which should give me more than enough time to make my escape when the time is right.

It's quiet down here in the cells during the night, almost too quiet. The man in the cell next to mine sure reads a lot, but he's suspiciously quiet as well.

He's sort of handsome I guess, in a potential serial killer kind of way, but he hasn't spoken a single word since he came back earlier.

"Have you seen something you like?" he catches me staring at him.

"Nope. I'm just bored".

I begin gently banging my head against the back wall, which seems to be made of a marble like material.

"You will get used to it in time".

"Thanks for the pep talk, but I have no intention of being down here that long".

"You had the perfect opportunity to escape before, and yet you did not take it?"

"I have my reasons".

"If you are seeking safe passage to Hel you will not find it, not with him assisting you anyway"

"Indeed I am and yes I will. I always have a plan".

I am a little overconfident to say the least.

"However impressive your little magic tricks may be, you would not survive one day in Hel alone".

"You like my little trick do you? Certainly has poor Skurge wrapped around my little finger, doesn't it?" I laugh to myself.

"How did you have him so utterly enamoured with you?"

"That was mostly him. Men are simple, mostly driven by lust and desire. They want to be a hero and to save the damsel in distress".

"Very clever. I suppose he will do just about anything for you at this point?"

He's obviously trying to figure out what I can do.

"If I were to ask him right now he would even walk over to your cell, unlock it for me and let you out".

"Really?"

"Really. However I was hoping that dumbass Thor would've been stupid enough to have stepped in here earlier, but no such luck".

"Why Thor?"

"He may be as dense as a brick wall, but I wouldn't mind him pounding me until I see stars, if you know what I mean".

"You have terrible taste in men".

"I'm glad you noticed, but I suppose I'll have to settle for poor little Skurge for now".

"Do you have so little respect for yourself that you would let just any man bed you?"

"He's a means to an end. Not that it's any of your business".

"Still, such a young woman of your many talents could strive for so much more".

"You know nothing of my talents, but I'm always open to suggestions".

"You could have it all. Wealth, power and the ability to have entire worlds bowing at your feet".

"I suppose I don't have to guess what landed your ass in here then?"

I can read this guy like an open book already.

"So what drives you, witch? What awaits you in Hel?"

"Revenge".

I intend on savouring every sweet moment of it when that time comes. She would finally feel my wrath and I'll look her dead in the eyes when I do it.
