I had no moment to lose. I jumped in front of Loki, defending him with my body, so the icy sword ran deep into my stomach. The pain was unbearable and I felt my blood turning into ice, freezing me to death. I had to hurry because I didn't have much time left.
I heard cries and screams and I heard Frigga's voice but all these noises were muffled as I turned back and saw Loki.
I smiled at him and he looked at me completely surprised, deeply shocked and astonished and he was unable to understand what I was doing there at all. For the first time, I could discover a little fear in his eyes, but that was what I couldn't believe that I saw it well. Loki never felt any fear.
Still watching his beautiful face, feeling his breath on my face, it all gave me the power to survive until it was needed.
- Take care, my beloved Prince, and take care of your tongue next time.
He tried to open his mouth, maybe to reply, but I couldn't hear anything anymore. I leaned back, watching him closely, with a tender smile, and while I was falling behind, my body turned into a huge temple of fire, hot flames were splashing all over, attacking the leader giants, grabbing them and turning them into mere puddles of water.
Then when all of the giants were killed, I simply disappeared like smoke in the air. It was so easy and it gave me such a feeling of freedom and peace I had never felt before.
Loki was standing like a frozen statue, only his chest was moving as he was breathing heavily, and his glowing blue eyes were mesmerised, staring at the place I had stood. He couldn't believe his eyes.
