"Excuse me Mademoiselle, I must see to something real quick," Loki told her as he walked away. Lady Helene's eyes followed him as he weaved his way through the crowd of nobles and ladies. As he danced his way to the other side, Loki's eyes remained focused on the strange man watching him from across the space. Blue tinged skin, red eyes. He was a Frost Giant, sent down by King Laufey to kill him. It had been a while since a Blue Assassin had come down to try to slay him. Several months in fact. The last one had tried to way lay him when he was boarding a ship bound to England. That giant had wound up floating in the English Channel.

Loki soon reached the house, and grabbed his head chamberlain by the arm. "If anyone asks where I have gone, give them a suitable response. I am in my sanctum," Loki told him. The chamberlain nodded his head and shuffled off to tell the other servants. Loki's sanctum was a great, furbished cellar beneath the hall. Not long after Loki first got the mansion, he went journeying through the lands that would become Germany; he traveled to Sweden, Norway, and Finland. The places where Norse relics would surely be found. As Loki walked down the stone steps, he bowed to a statue of Odin and Frigga. A tapestry he had liberated from a German nobleman's house, depicted him and Thor bringing death and destruction down on those who oppressed the good.

Loki walked passed other statues, busts, vases, and stone carvings, until he reached the end. There, hanging on the wall, was his scepter. Loki admired it for only a moment and then he took it from its resting place on the wall. When he turned, he slammed it on the ground. His eighteenth century clothing disappeared, replaced by his Asgardian attire. Loki closed his eyes, smirking for a moment, and then he opened them again. They were burning green. "Now, let's go kill a Frost Giant."





The Frost Giant stood by the river, when suddenly he heard somebody approaching from behind. He turned, but nobody was there. "Excuse me?" He looked up and saw Loki squatting in the trees above his head. "Were you looking for me?" Loki's eyes were bright green and he had his signature smirk on his face.
