Loki One Shots (Discontinued)

Enchanting

Alternate Title: Three Times She Wanted To Enchant Loki and The Time She Didn't Have To

Lilith Hansdóttir couldn't compare to Loki Odinson, and while most might be discouraged by that fact, Lilith wasn't. At least so she made it appear, for while Lilith might appear to be fine with it, as with everything there was a second side to the story. For Lilith couldn't always be second best given her title as Lilith Hansdóttir soon to be a goddess of enchantment. As she would be one of the few aside from Frigga who would be able to match Loki in terms of seider at least so she hopped. Yet things didn't seem to be going that way at least so it seemed, but we will get to that for this is the story of Loki Odinson later Friggason god of mischief and lies, and his wife Lilith Hansdóttir goddess of enchantment and trickery...

For as long as Lilith Hansdóttir can remember, she has been told that one day she would be able to rival, even Loki in terms of seider and enchantment. Yet for just as long as she could remember she has failed to do so. Even from the first time she met Loki at the tender age of 600. She had been sent to study under Queen Frigga, for her father's knowledge of seider was running out. To him, if she was really destined to be on an equal level with the second prince of Asgard it only seemed right that she be trained by the same woman. Yet despite Lilith inhabiting a room in the Asgardian place, her contact with Loki had been few, through her encounters with both Thor had more than she had with Loki. While Lilith was rather disappointed that she was unable to meet Loki. Other parties were far more displeased than her. In fact, Lilith could remember a particular dinner, that occurred soon after she had arrived, one that wasn't pleasant.

That Dinner

At the time Lilith had yet to meet Loki as every time, he managed to slip away much like a serpent, even when he made his appearance to stab Thor. He always seemed to be gone before Lilith could reach the scene. He had even managed to slip by the dinners that Odin would hold, claiming he had more studies to attend to, something that Queen Frigga would always allow despite Odin's displeasure. Something he made clear that he had because until then everything had been pleasant until it wasn't...

Almost every member of the royal family had gathered at the table, just as they did nearly every night since Lilith arrived. Odin sat at the head of the table, with Frigga on his left side. While Thor sat to the right of Odin, sitting proudly, with a look of hunger that would frighten anyone who didn't know him. Lilith had taken her own seat on the third seat of the left, while the second seat sat empty. No words were said as the servants began to bring out the courses. Lilith had offered to assist them as she often did in her own home, yet when she did Odin would hold up his hand, and give a harsh look to Lilith. "I don't pay them to be helped I pay them to do their job," he stated in a harsh tone. After that Lilith hadn't tried to again, despite Odin's harsh tone that he took whenever one would make a small mistake. The servants had just finished bringing out the first course, yet Loki had yet to arrive. Odin's face looked more than displeased at seeing Loki's lack of presence at the table. He motioned a nearby servant to his side. "Where is HE!" The sound of Odin's voice boomed through the dining room reminding Lilith once more that he was the all-father and protector of the nine realms. The poor servant that Odin had called didn't look much younger than Thor. Yet rather than have the brave face of Thor, instead, he seemed to be trying to keep himself together as he mumbled something. This only seemed to displease Odin more. "Well speak up young man. I don't think I can hear you." His tone remained harsh despite Frigga's soft touch and look of, please.

Upon hearing this the young man while not having more courage seemed to take the hint. "I don't know," the young man said while looking like he was trying not to let his feet give out of fright.

Rather than take this as a sign to tone himself down, Odin didn't. "Well, then I suggest you find out."

"Yes, your grace." The young servant let out a quick bow, and nod of his head before he quickly exited the room. Once the young servant was gone Odin's mood didn't seem to improve.
