It had been a few days since Loki disappeared from the rainbow bridge. I won't ever forget how I found out...
Thor had come to my room along with Frigga and Sif to tell me what happened. After a large fight between them, Loki had slipped from the rainbow bridge and was hanging on to him. Thor mentioned that he tried to pull Loki up, but it seemed like he just let go. Thor blamed himself for it, and asked for my forgiveness.
"Thor, I am sure you did everything you could have to save him, I am sure he is fine, we will find him. He is not dead." I assured him. He gives me a hug, and all but Frigga leave. I look down, and silently wish that I could believe the words I just told Thor.
"Will you be alright, my dear?" Frigga asks, her query shakes me from my reverie.
"My Queen, it is you whom I should be asking if you are alright? Loki is your son, and you must feel a great loss."
"My feelings of loss are different from yours dear. I know that you and he love each other. Secretly I always hoped you two would marry." She hugs me very tightly, almost too tightly, and I lose my composure and sob uncontrollably.
She holds me and pats my hair, and after a bit of time, she asks me if I would like some assistance to sleep. I tell her not tonight, but she will be the first I ask for any help.
"We will find him my dear, I know of it. He is not lost to us forever." She tells me.
"I know my queen, I can feel it." She smiles since she knows of our connection. We are empaths with each other, meaning we can feel each others presence, thoughts, anxieties, magic...and love.
Evening passes and morning comes, I find myself unable to sleep. I wander around the palace and draw some sympathetic glances from those who know of what happened to Loki, and our friendship. Most of the Asgardians believe that Loki is dead; they offer me condolences, and I accept. It's useless to explain to them that I know he is not gone.
One afternoon while Sif and I are going through some sparring drills, a guard approaches me and tells me that the Queen requests to see my in her chambers. I acknowledge and excuse myself from Sif. She gives me a hug because she knows that the reason I have been training so often and so intently is because I am trying to get over my feelings of losing Loki.
I knock on the ornate gold doors, and when permitted I enter her room, and curtsy. "My queen, forgive my appearance I was training with Sif when I was asked to meet you." She nods and gestures for me to sit.
"My dear, how have you been? I apologize for not calling on you sooner, I wanted to give you some space and time to mourn. I know that you have been training so long and hard to deal with your feelings for Loki. I must also be honest with you, but you bring me so many memories of Loki that I was hard to look at you at times; everytime I would look at you, I would see him. However, I think I have stumbled across something that will help us in finding him."
Immediately, I am interested in anything that will help me find my Loki.
"There is a place on Midgard called Kamar-Taj and they harness a different type of magic, used to train people to become sorcerers. Their leader is called the Ancient One, and they are tasked with keeping the sanctums of Midgard safe. The sanctums help protect Midgard, and the sorcerers protect the sanctums" she tells me.
"So how will this help me find Loki?" I ask.
"I am going to send you to them for training, it will be another source of magic and power that could aid in finding Loki. The place is powerful, and might allow you to stretch out your feelings and find him. The magic there is different, and to master their magic as well as ours will make you quite the sorceress. But I must warn you, there will be a high cost...." She cautions me.
