Mystical Magic (Loki x Reader)

Chapter 27 - Beautiful Asgard

You clung onto Lokis torso for dear life as you were flying through space. You had your eyes closed at first but you didn't want to miss the beautiful sight so you forced yourself to open them and the moment you did, you felt like your life had changed. The colours around you were magnificent and vibrant and outside of the light you could see so many stars and planets pass you by. World's normal people would never get to see and you felt yourself ease up and you weren't clinging to Loki as tightly any more.

Then you came to a stop and the lights and planets disappeared and you fell forwards. Loki managed to catch you before you face planted the floor though like a dork.

"Thanks. I think I need practice at that" You joked which made him smile

"Prince Thor, Prince Loki. Welcome back to Asgard. Lady Y/N, welcome to Asgard'' a deep melodic voice came from in front of you. You looked up and stood atop the golden stairs in front of you was a tall dark warrior dressed in golden armour from head to foot. You also noticed the iris of his eyes were like liquid gold.

"Oh, hi! Id tell you my name but you already know it" You smiled to him which was returned with a chuckle that vibrated in your chest.

You looked around you and you were stood in a dome made of gold, the wall full of intricate detail like nothing you had seen before and you wondered if it was a map of the universe, it was that magnificent. 

"This way" Loki said and indicated the exit of the dome and all 3 of you walked out and you had to catch your breath at the sight that was before you

You had walked out onto the legendary rainbow bridge. It pulsated at every footfall like it was alive. The bridge lead to the beautiful golden city that far surpassed your expectations from when Loki was telling you about it and you could even see the palace from all the way out there. The sky was also as clear as Loki had described it to you and you marvelled at the beauty of it.

You were lead to three horses that were waiting for you. Thor mounted himself on a beige steed and waited for you both before he took off.

"Can you ride?" Loki asked

"I've rode donkeys at carnivals but I'm sure I can figure it out" You replied with a shrug, getting a questioning look from Loki

"Why would you ride a donkey?" He asked, confused

"I'll tell you about our strange 'Midgardian' ways another time" You laughed

"Are you sure you'll be okay riding?" He asked, worried about whether you'll get thrown off or not

"Yeah and if not you can say i told you so" You laughed as you made your way over to the pure white mare that was standing next to a jet black stallion which was obviously Loki's.

Loki helped you mount and then mounted his own horse. Then you were off and the canter down the bridge gave you the most amazing feeling inside. You felt like a bird riding the winds as your hair was swept back flying behind you, the sound of the horses hooves like a song to your ears.

Your horse slowed down of its own accord when you neared the city to match Loki and Thors and you barely had to do anything to guide her. She knew exactly where she was going. She was a good horse who knew what she was doing. 

The walk through the city absolutely blew your mind. There were street vendors lining the streets selling their wares and people milling around out for a day of shopping and socialising with one another. People were sat at outside tables of cafes and restaurants, children running around playing with each other while their parents tried to rein them in and it all seemed just so...normal. It was amazing to see for yourself.

When you reached the palace stables, Loki helped you down and handed both of your horses off to the stable hands before turning back to you

"That was very impressive for your first ride" he mused looking proudly at you which made butterflies flutter in your stomach and you turned your head away sloghtly to try and hi the colour that flushed your face.

"Well, she's well trained. I just had to not fall off" you played it down, gesutring to your mare, embarrassed at how Loki was looking at you. God, he is gorgeous

"Are those my sons I have spotted?" An angelic voice came from towards the palace and when you turned to see who it was, an angel wasn't a far off description. The lady, she wasn't just a woman, she was a lady, was the most angelic woman you thought you had ever laid eyes on. Her features were so soft, yet fierce and her eyes gleamed in the sun like they were her own mini suns. The gown she wore was a macaroon cream with darker embroidery that started at the top left of the bodice and spread out down to and past the skirt. Her golden hair was in an intricate updo and you wondered how long it took her to get her hair like that in the mornings

"Mother! So good to see you!" Thor greeted her and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"Mother, you look lovely as ever" Loki greeted her the same then turned to introduce you. "This is Lady Y/N. Y/N this is my mother, Frigga Queen of Asgard"

You curtsied to the Queen, thanking the lord you had thought ahead and wore a mid length light blue dress with skin coloured short underneath for obvious reasons. "Your Majesty, it's an honour to meet you"

"Oh please, call me Frigga, my dear" she said as she gently pulled you up to stand and give you a hug

"Thank you, Your-I mean, Frigga" you blushed, mentally scolding yourself for looking dumb in front of her

"Come, your Father is waiting for you all" she said as she lead us into the palace and through its vast hallways, not noticing how Loki tensed up as she turned away.

"Hey" Loki said when he saw the terrified look on your face. "You have no reason to be scared"

"Oh I'm not. I'm worried I'll throat punch Odin" you scoffed

"Well, that would not be in your best interest," he laughed. "When we get to the throne room we will stop at the foot of the thrones platforms and bow and curtsy to the king until he tells us to rise. Only speak to him if you're spoken to and you will be alright" Loki coached you just as you were coming up to the throne room's doors but you noticed how quipped his words were at talking about his father.

Two guards at the doors opened them for you all and you walked in together. The hall was huge. You wondered why it had to be so tall as you made your way to the throne, surely there werent beings that tall on Asgard, but wat did you know. Sat on the way oversized throne was Odin, King of Asgard with his one eye and his Santa Claus looking beard. He looked terrifying up there all high and mighty with his huge ass staff that could easily bludgeon your head in one fell swoop.

You saw Frigga suppress a laugh and you looked at Loki questioningly

Mother can read minds too and your thoughts are very loud right now

Oh god, she heard my thoughts about Odin?!

Yes. It's quite amusing actually

You threw your mental shields up and mentally berated yourself for letting them slip. You were absolutely mortified that Frigga had just heard what you thought about her husband, the king and you wanted to just drop dead right there

You reached the bottom of the steps and dipped into a curtsy as Loki and Thor bowed. It was so two centuries ago

"You may rise" Odins deep voice commanded and you all stood back up straight

"It is good to see you, my son," Odin nodded towards Thor. "You, not as much" he eyes Loki

This wasn't going to go well...
