Ethereal

Chapter 13: I Like You

The twinkling stars dotted Asgard's radiating blue sky, under the beautiful scenery was the golden palace where the gods lives.

Serena walked through the halls with the princes, instead of wearing her normal clothes from Earth, she was wearing a backless, light red dress with long flare sleeves and a v-neck. It was long enough to cover her legs.

Apparently, the Goddess of Death didn't want her wearing her normal clothes in the palace so she ordered her brothers to get her appropriate Asgardian clothes, normally a dress.

It was Loki who picked the dress.

Serena was surprised how much the God of Mischief knows fashion. He really was interesting, just like the rest of his siblings. She just knew that he definitely knows how to style. Not to mention, she loved his black polished nails.

While Thor, the God of Thunder was there to provide support and to brighten up the situation with his cheerfulness and thumb ups.

He was also the one who said the color red suits Serena very well. The blonde woman didn't know whether he was telling the truth or just biased since he mentioned he also loves the color red.

Thor snapped his fingers, he turned to the blonde woman "You're an agent, aren't you?"

"Assassin." Serena corrects him

"Do you like fighting?"

"It's my specialty."

"I'm sure you're very good at it." Loki chimed in, trying to impress their mortal guest

Serena just nods at him. She was never really interested in the God of Mischief, she just wanted to make the Goddess of Death jealous because she loved how intimidating she looks.

"Then, you'll love to meet these people I'm going to introduce you to!" Thor leads the way again like the jolly leader he is while Serena and Loki followed

Truth to be told, Serena doesn't like meeting people. She always scares them off with her cold, distant stare. Meeting people was one of her dislikes, she despised loud crowds and new people.

They walked outside the palace, there was a space where the warriors and knights were gathered. Some of them were training and some were having a conversation.

They stopped in front of a group of warriors gathered around a stone table, there were three men and two women. One of the men and one of the women were having an arm wrestling battle.

Thor cleared his throat "Everyone."

"Prince Thor, Prince Loki." they placed their hands on their chests before bowing, showing respect and acknowledging the presence of both princes

"Everyone, meet Serena." Loki introduced her

Serena just stared at them, wary of her surroundings. It's not that she doesn't trust Thor when he said these people were good and won't do any harm but it was a part of her that she doesn't trust easily, especially strangers.

"Is she the sister-in-law you were telling us about?" the woman wearing a silver armor asked, she beat the man on the opposite side of the table before standing and approaching them

Serena glanced at Thor, raising an eyebrow.

Thor chuckled nervously "I'd really appreciate it if you don't tell her that I told her about you guys."

The woman shrugged, giving Thor a disapproving look before turning to see Serena "Hey."

"Hey." the blonde woman replies eventually

Silence filled the air after that exchange of words, making it awkward for all the people there. Thor was the one who decided to lift the awkwardness and break the silence as usual.
