Rebirth (Completed)

Taste the Rainbow

In Asgard, Loki was quickly making his way down the long hallway towards the Healers. He knew that if he doesn't hurry Serena might be lost forever trapped in her mind while her power would possess her.

It was if she was barely hanging on because she felt limp into the mischief maker's arms and it concerned him deeply. Loki lost her once and he wasn't going to allow himself to feel that kind of torture of not being able to be in her presence again. He couldn't bear the thought of not being able to see her beautiful smile ever again or hold her in his arms when they sleep.

Glancing down he gazed at his sleeping beauty and he had to swallow back the tears that were threatening to pour down his pale face.

Once he got to the Healers, they right away took Serena and carried her off behind closed doors. Loki was told to wait outside and that they will come and get him once Serena is awake. He was not patient and began pacing back and forth while clenching and unclenching his fists.

While waiting he felt torn of not being able to be by her side when she awakes. Feeling useless and powerless was a new experience to Loki and it bothered him severely that he isn't able to help his beloved fight back control over her power.

In the healer's room, Serena was having a vision of her past life:

The girl with midnight blue hair and ice color eyes stood in front of her. "You can win this battle, Serena," Anika assured her, "You are strong so don't give up."

Serena wanted to argue back but instead she kept silent and waited to see if Anika has more to say.

Anika smiled brightly and touched Serena's face. "We can beat this together. You and me. Just let me take over for a bit."

Sighing, Serena agreed that it would be best if Anika takes control for she knew how to wield this power. "I am just so scared," she admitted, "what if I get locked away completely?"

"I understand your fear," the elven girl smiled gently, "Hold on to something dear to your heart and you will be able to come back." Anika held open her arms and Serena walked into the embrace which allowed both girls to become united once more, but this time Anika has control while Serena slept peacefully.

The girl's body was lifted into the air and a soft white glow illuminated her form brightening by the second. Soon the whole room was gulfed with blinding light and the Healers had to shield their eyes from the harsh light.

Eventually the light faded and the girl fell back onto the table, her flesh marked with strange patterns.
The girl opened her eyes and sighed almost as if in relief.

Anika slowly raise herself into a sitting position and beckoned towards the Healers. The one in charge carefully made her way to the elven girl and bowed in respect.

"What can I do for you, milady?"

"I want to see my love, Prince Loki," she commanded gently, "I want to wish him a good and long life."

The healer nodded and left to call the dark prince. Anika allowed a few tears to slip down her cheeks because she knew that this was her farewell.

Deep down she always knew that Serena was too fragile to handle both elements and that sooner or later one of them will have to disappear. She quickly wiped away the tears and calmly waited for her mischievous lover.

Upon hearing that his beloved was awake and wanted to see him, Loki rushed into the Healer's room but froze when he saw the elven princess instead of his Serena.

It was Anika standing before him in all her mysterious beauty and his heart jumped into his throat as he watched her walked over to him. She smiled and placed a hand to his cheek lovingly.

"I had to say goodbye," she whispered softly.

"Goodbye?" he asked in confusion, "Why is this goodbye?"

The girl placed a finger against his lips and shook her head to indicate that she wasn't done talking. "I wish you all the happiness life can bring, my sweet prince," she continued, "I hope that you will always cherish and love Serena."

Loki pressed a kiss to her finger which caused a giggle to escape from her mouth. He was going to speak but Anika cut him off with her lips and he knew that this was no ordinary kiss. Before she even thought of breaking the kiss, Loki pulled her into his embrace and deepened the kiss.

The princess moaned softly and allowed him entrance. He happily explored her delicate mouth with his silver tongue while his hands stroke her sides.

Unfortunately she pulled away and Loki groaned in disappointment. He watched as the princess smiled one last time before her eyes closed and she passed out into his arms.

With a sad heart he saw that the blue hair receded back to light blond and how her pointy ears went back to normal. The strange markings also vanished and her clothes went back to the outfit that she wore when he found her at the graveyard.

The sadness didn't last long for he noticed that his beloved was waking up.

Serena opened her eyes and looked into emerald green eyes that had tears spilling down. She reached up and lovingly brushed away her lover's tears. "It's gone now," she whispered, "the pain is gone and I feel light again."

The trickster chuckled and pulled her into a passionate kiss that knocked her socks off. Once they pulled away, she was breathless and felt loved. "So this is Asgard," she stated as she glanced around the room, "Funny, I don't remember it." She than understood why she no longer remembers living in Asgard for that part of her is dead.

"Let me gave you the grand tour, my dear," he purred as he offered her his arm which she glad took.

Serena allowed Loki to lead her out of the Healer's room and down the big hallway. She listened contently to his voice as he showed her the throne room, his chambers, the garden and then the Bifrost.

As they strolled onto the rainbow coloured road, she suddenly let go of his arm and got down on her knees. Wanting to know if it taste like candy, she brought her face close and licked the road. 'Nope it defiantly does not,' she whined and shook her head.

Loki watched his beloved in confused and laughed in amusement at the unpleasant look on her face after she licked the bridge. "You are certainly a strange girl," he chuckled as Serena pouted. "I thought I was supposed to taste the rainbow, but I was wrong. The flavour is disgusting."

She made another face and Loki laughed again before pulling her back to her feet. "I bet I can fix that," he purred and then he kissed her again.
