I decided that it wasn't the right time for me to interfere, but before I left the dungeon I cast a comforting spell on Loki. Once I reached the library I made myself visible, and I heard rushing footsteps only for the library doors to burst open with Frigga and Jane.

"What's going on?"

"Dark Elves," was all Jane breathed out, I just closed the book and followed them.

We got to a hallway and Frigga pulled us aside, and she told us in a stern tone,"I need you to do everything I ask, no questions."

"Yes Ma'am," Jane and I said in chorus.

Before I new it, I found myself wrapped into a hug, an Frigga pressed a kiss to my forehead,"take good care of him,"she whispered with a certain look on her face and I immediately knew what she had in mind,"he loves you."

"Frigga, no please, I can do it, I'll-"

"My child, it's the two of you that I'm keeping out of harm, please follow my orders," Frigga said as she held my hands.

Tears streaked down my face as I shakily nodded, then Jane and I listened to Frigga's plan.

The two of us hid as Frigga went into battle with a sword and after we waited for as long as she told us to wait and we made our way where she told us she was going to be, only to walk in as Frigga was stabbed.

"NO," Thor yelled out as he threw his hammer.

But it was too late, Frigga was gone, silent tears streamed down my face as Odin mourned his deceased wife. I looked up at Thor who was holding back tears, and mouthed 'I'm sorry' to him, receiving a stiff head nod. I knelt down, praying Frigga a successful crossing to the next world and Valhalla, it wasn't until I felt a hand on my shoulder when I saw Odin, which took me by surprise.

"Your majesty I'm so sorry, I tried to convince her-"

"This was her choice, child,"Odin interrupted,"she spoke highly of your dress business in Midgard, and I think she would have appreciated if you made her dress for her burial."

I was at loss for words before nodding frantically,"it would be an honor your majesty," I whispered as I wiped tears from my cheeks.

Thor, Jane and I stood by as we watch Odin leave with his deceased wife, and before Thor walks away, I grab his arm and whisper,"someone has to tell Loki."

And an even sadder look fell across his face, before he nodded,"I shall order some guards to tell him the news."

I nodded before returning to my room, spending all day to work on Frigga's burial dress. Late in the afternoon I presented Odin the dress, and went to go get ready for the burial.

I snuck my way into the dungeons where I saw Loki just pacing, which was obviously bullshit

I snuck my way into the dungeons where I saw Loki just pacing, which was obviously bullshit.

"Don't try and fool me Loki," I whispered softly.

I made my way inside his cell and pushed my way through his illusion, only to find his cell completely trashed, and Loki on the floor, looking like a mess, his eyes puffy and red.

"What do you want," Loki croaked.

I didn't say anything, as I sat next to him and allowed him to rest his head on my shoulder as his shoulders shook with sobs. I gently held his hand as I repeatedly pressed kisses on his hand as Loki clung onto me. A few hours passed and Loki fell asleep for a bit, and I knew I had to leave soon for the burial. I started moving away, but Loki clung onto me as he whimpered.

"Oh Loki," I whispered as I pressed a kiss to his cheek," I have to go," I said as I tried to remove myself from his grip.

"Please, don't leave me,"he cried out," I couldn't bare-"

I gently pressed my lips onto his," I promise, only if you don't leave me either."

He weakly nodded and I pecked his lips before leaving him alone in his cell.

It came the time, for Frigga's burial, I stood by Thor and Jane in my black dress and a small black veil as we watched Odin light an arrow and the shooting the arrow on the boat as it lights up and beautifully dissolves away as it reaches the end on the waterfall. After that happens, we all release our lanterns as we mourn the deceased queen.

The next morning I wake up and go to talk to Thor, only to find my door bolted shut, I tried to use magic but they must have assumed that I would use magic to try and escape. I try to look for other ways to escape but there aren't so in the end, I give up and I lay in the pile of clothes where I was trying to make a chain from. At some point I did take a nap but after a while, there were grunts and clangs heard outside and I prepared myself for the worse.

"Thor," I cried out as I got up from the pile of clothes,"what the hell is going on? Why was I locked in?"

"This is my father's doing, come on. We're doing something that goes behind my father's back."

"Been there done that, what do we need to do? What about Jane?"

"Sif is taking care of her, come one we need someone else," Thor said as he pulled me along as we run down the hallway.

"Who?"

"Loki."
