Sigyn's P.O.V.

I stood in our chambers with Loki, the last time this would happen in years. My back was towards him, not being able to bring myself to look at his form, tears already threatening to fall but looking at him. That would break me.

My right hand gripped the back of a golden chair. My knuckles were white with fear and my left hand was balled up against my stomach. Clenching the silver fabric of my dress, it felt hot and irritable in my grasp.

"Sigyn my love." Loki whispered, I could hear his leather boots advancing towards me across the stone floor. Dull lifeless steps, thudding harder and harder each time.

I shook with grief and could feel my insides wrenching and twisting like a vine around a pillar. His hand touched my bared shoulder, its cool, familiar feeling comforting me little. The thought of him never being here again, to never feel his touch again sent me into a whirlwind of emotions. The room became hazy as I looked through eyes of unshed tears.

"I am very sorry." Loki kissed the back of my head and I closed my eyes, the tears finally falling. His forearm came across my shoulders, Loki's long fingers wrapping around my left shoulder. I laid my head back into the crook of his arm and grasped his golden armor.

"I shall miss you dearly." I whispered turning to face him. His hands rested at my waist lovingly, but it felt distant in a way. I pulled down his head to my height, kissing his jet black hair, his face rested into my neck.

"As will I." He straightened up and wiped away my tears. "Now, where are the children? I would like to see them before I go." His green eyes darted around the room.

"I will get them." I sighed painfully. My dress swishing around as I quickly walked across the room to the smaller door. I turned the handle and called to our children. "Come, your father wants to say goodbye."

A small crowd of beings came spilling out of the room. The blonde curly hair twins came out first, Narvi and Vali. Their usual spunky attitude depleted at the sight of their father so sad. Hel came out holding a rather young Jorgamund, he wrapped around his sister's arm. The small serpent flicking his tongue out into the warm air. Fenris and Sleipnir, prodded out, Sleipnir happier than the others to see his mother. He bounded over on wobbly legs and nuzzled Loki's chest.

"Hello my children." Loki kneeled down to their level and the crowd of young ones made their way over. "Narvi and Vali, I want no trouble for your mother. You must promise me that you will be good." He kissed their messy mops of hair, the boys sniffed a few times and mumbled a "yes, father" each.

Hel was a bit taller than the twins, Loki stood up more as his daughter hugged him. "I love you more than all the treasure in the nine realms. Never forget that Hel." He whispered into her ear.

"I'll miss you father." She sobbed into the dark green material of his cloak. Hel gave him a soft peck on the cheek and handed Jorgamund over.

Jorgamund wrapped around his father's neck loosely like a scarf, his scaly body rubbing against Loki's cold skin. "Goodbye my son, you shall be a great serpent some day." Loki scratched his head and the serpent slithered off of his father's body.

Fenris sat at Loki's feet and whined, he was still only a pup, but very large for his age. "Goodbye Fenris." Loki picked up the wolf and kissed his soft furry head. The pup whined again and a soft growl came from deep in his belly.

Finally Sleipnir came bounding over again, he was patiently waiting for his turn, all eight of his limbs going every which way. "Goodbye dear one. I'll miss you very much." Sleipnir laid his large head on his mothers shoulder and Loki returned the embrace.

"Goodbye to all of you, I love you all so much." Loki said his final goodbye's and kissed me gently. More tears were shed as I felt him hold me for the last time.

"Goodbye Sigyn, my beautiful star." He whispered.
