Bond of Stone ~ A Loki x OC Story

Chapter 25

Loki teleports them to a hidden wooded area somewhere on Asgard. It's a quiet little area surrounded by overgrown trees, next to a pond that leads to a small cave.

"What is this place?" Rhi asks

"Like our spot by the lake. I found this one day while I was exploring. It has an enchantment over it to keep it hidden, so no one can find or see this place. See that cave over there." Rhi nods. "In it is a portal to Midguard."

"Where to?"

"Somewhere in Norway, I believe."

She lays down on the ground in defeat. "Now that we're fugitives, what do you think we should do next?"

"If you hadn't interfered, we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place."

"Are you fucking kidding me?" She gets up and walks over to him. "You were going to die had I not interfered."

"Going against Odin was idiotic and reckless! For norns sake Rhiannon, he's the Allfather! Don't you understand that he could've killed you! All you had to do was just keep your promise!"

"My promise? What about the promise you made to me before you took my virginity. Huh? Remember that promise?" Rhi shouts back as she shoves him a little. "Fyi, I didn't break my promise. You said if you were to die...but you didn't because I stopped it. So, you're welcome, your highness!" She mockingly bows and turns away from him. They stand there in silence for a moment.

"A life with me." Loki starts. "Means a life in hiding and constantly looking over your shoulder, not knowing what the next day is going to bring..."

"Sounds like a thrilling adventure." She walks back towards him. "One that I will gladly go on, with you."

"You deserve better than someone like me."

"Loki..."

"Binding our souls together was a mistake." He sighs and casts a green shimmer over himself.

"You don't mean that..." Rhi trails off when suddenly it feels as though a part of her was rip from her body.
She looks Loki over to try and get a read on him, but no longer can. "Why can't I feel you anymore? What did you do!?"

"An enchantment to shield my energy and soul from you." He says as he steps closer to her backing her towards and into the cave

"Loki please, don't do this." She pleads. "I love you..."

"Love." Loki chuckles. "Love is a dagger. It's a weapon to be wielded far away, or up close. You can see yourself in it. It's beautiful...until it makes you bleed. But ultimately, when you reach for it, it isn't real."

"What are you saying!? My love for you is real. Haven't I don't enough to prove that to you?" Rhi cries. "Please...don't leave me again. Don't you remember what happened last time?"

"That's why I've done the enchantment." He says coldly.

"You promised..."

Loki sighs. "I'm sorry." He says softer now as he looks at her with sad eyes then uses his magic to push her further into the cave, where she falls into a portal and lands in a wooded area.

She quickly gets up and tries to find the portal she just came from, but unfortunately for her, it was only a one way portal.

Rhi then she tries to teleport back to Loki by locking on his energy, but she couldn't because he was blocking himself from her.

In a fit of rage, she blasts a hole through a nearby tree and then drops to her knees sobbing hysterically.

How could he do that to her, after everything they've been through...everything she'd done for him...everything she'd sacrificed.
