Loki's Child

Chapter 13: Keep smiling

I was stood in front of my mirror looking at myself and I gently placed my tiara on my head. I took a breath and gently put my bracelets on.

"Okay," I whispered to myself. "I'm ready!"

I went over to my bed and picked up my harp and held it in my hands; No backing out, no running, I can do this.

*KNOCK**KNOCK*
I went over to the door and opened it revealing Dad standing there.

"I can't do this!" I told him.

"Hela you look beautiful," Dad told me. "Everyone will love you."

I sighed. "Can we cancel?" I asked.

"No, now come on our kingdom awaits!" He told me.

I sighed and nodded. I walked side by side with Dad through the halls, I held my harp tightly in my hands and gently, I gently plucked a string as I walked trying to calm down. OH MY GOD!

We got to the gold doors and I took a deep breath; This was it. The gold doors opened to reveal a room full of people... I took a breath and began to walk side by side with my Dad. As I walked I heard people whisper and welcome me. As I got to Odin he smiled warmly at me.

"It's snowing," Odin whispered.

I looked up. "Oops," I mumbled and waved my hand stopping it.

"My people tonight we welcome the return of Princess Hela our very own Goddess of music," Odin boomed. "Our Princess would like to sing for you all!"

I took a step forward and Odin nodded; HE WANT'S ME TO TALK! "Er Hi, I am Princess Hela," I spoke. "I thank you all for coming tonight, you have shown how much you respect me and my family, for that I am grateful. The song is called 'Three Queens."

I sat down on the steps and began to play the harp, my fingers gently brushed over the strings an pulled them...

"Sink into your mother's arms

The womb that gave you birth, let her take your secrets back and lay them in the earth

Let her take you in her arms

Let her take you home

Let her take you home

Let her take you home

Leave to her the gifts she gave of flesh and breath and bone. Sink into your lover's arms

The womb that made you whole

Let her waters slake the thirst you carry in your soul, let her take you in her arms

Let her take you home

let her take you home

Let her take you home

Leave to her the dreams you made of honours, steel, and stone

Sink into your mother's arms

Sink into your lover's arms

Sink into your sister's arms

The womb you need not know

Let her fire consume the frame of what you were before, let her take you in her arms

Let her take you home

Let you take you home

Let her take you home
