What is Thor doing with Aceleve? I felt anger rise in my chest as I gently placed my ear against the wooden door.
"Aceleve, I will find whoever did this to you. And then. Then I will have your heart" he vowed. I heard a chair scuff against the polished floor and heavy boots stepping against the marble as he walked closer to the door. I focused my power around myself and disappeared in a strike of golden light. I watched in silence as my brother left the room with a determined shine in his blue eyes. I stared into Aceleve's room as the door swung close. I turned my attention back to Thor and followed silently and quickly as he disappeared around a corner. In a flash of gold I disguised myself as a common castle guard and followed Thor wordlessly. I stared as he spoke quietly to Fandral, a member of the Warriors three who shoved himself against my Aceleve. The feeling of disgust and hatred started deep in my belly and crawled up to where I could taste it like rusted copper on my tongue. I couldn't hear the hushed tone of their words but after a nod Fandral walked towards me and Thor in the opposite direction. I turned and followed Fandral down the hall and outside towards the Bifrost. Lady Sif was waiting in the golden dome. I stopped before she could see me and made myself disappear, silently I crept up and listened.
"Thor doesn't suspect anything. I believe we're in the clear" Fandral said.
Sif nodded and sighed in relief
"Good. You must keep this a secrete Fandral, you have my heart in your hands"
"As do you. I know our plan didn't work as we wished. But I'm thinking of a new one. A fool proof one that will make both of our dreams come true"
"Thank you Fandral. What do you need me to do?"
"Stay silent. The last thing we need is Thor or Loki finding out what happened"
My eyes narrowed in suspicion as I listened.
"Alright. Thank you for this"
"It's my pleasure. You'll get Roy. And I'll get Aceleve, and we'll both have a happily ever after" Fandral confirmed
"I know. I just feel bad, Aceleve was so sweet, she didn't deserve what she got. This isn't how it was supposed to happen".
"Fate has a interesting way of being inevitable" Fandral reassured.
"What do they not want me to find out? What are they planning?"
"We need to go. Hiemdall will be back soon" Fandrall advised.
"Agreed. We'll meet again in a week" Sif said. I felt rage build in my chest. If they had something to do with Aceleve being in the hospital I will kill the both of them with no regrets, no matter the fondness my brother has for them.
"I can see you there, Prince Loki" I heard Hiemdall say behind me. I sighed and released the magic I had held against my body and turned over my shoulder to look at him.
"You know that I am all-seeing yet you hide, why?" He asked with a patient but curious look in his golden eyes. I closed my eyes and took another deep breath
"It was nothing. My apologies" I said respectfully. With Aceleve gone from my side to keep me kind and softhearted, I find it much harder to be nice, I now have to mentally concentrate and remember to do it. It's exhausting.
"Is there anything I can do for you my lord?" He asked, placing the golden sword in its pedestal. I pursed my lips in thought.
"If I may, I would advise you to travel to the planet Jupiter"
My face scrunched in confusion
"Why jupiter?"
"Because help is there, Jupiter is home to the Council"
"What is the Council?" I asked
"Great distant cousins of your people, the Jotens. They will help you, for a price"
"What must I do?"
"Bring Aceleve, Roy, and anyone else who was injured in the Bifrost. Also bring the book Salutem, they will need it. You also must be extremely kind, they do not take well to anger or short-temper" Heimdall instructed.
I nodded
"Thank you Heimdall" I said gratefully. He nodded in reply and I quickly turned and began a quick walk towards the library.
This Council must be extremely powerful if they can bring Aceleve out of her coma. I'm not sure what all they can do for Roy but he's coming anyways. I've never heard of anything important being on Jupiter, I had just assumed the planet was inhabited after the Great War. I quickly and carelessly opened the heavy doors of the library and went straight to the front desk
"Good afternoon my lord" the librarian greeted with a bow. I nodded my head in return
"I need your help finding a book"
"What's the name of it?" He asked kindly
"Salutem" I answered. He pursed his lips in thought and went to a large leather bound book holding records of every book in the vast library. With amazing speeds he flipped through the book.
"It says that Salutem is a ritual book which is we don't have access too" he said hesitantly.
"Where is it?" I asked as calmly as I could.
"On Midguard" he replied hesitantly. I felt my anger spike as I heard his response. I clenched my teeth
"Where in Midguard?" I asked
"In a city called Cambridge in the United Kingdom"
"Where in Cambridge?"
"It doesn't say, unfortunately Prince Loki I'm afraid you'll have to find that out yourself"
I nodded in understanding
"Thank you"
"My pleasure, Prince" he said respectfully. Without another word I left the library in search of Roy. He knows more about Midguard than me and because Aceleve is hospitalized he is my only chance. I turned down the empty polished floor and towards the north wing where Roy is staying. I stopped in front of his door and knocked loudly. I heard stumbled feet and a bang before the door opened
"Yea?" He asked. I blinked in surprise. He looked more or less like death. He was very pale with sunken in eyes with deep black circles under them.
"I need your help" I stated.
"With what?"
"I have found a way to revive your sister"Okay yay!!! Sorry this chapter took so long I've been super busy. But here!! Love you guys and thank you so much for keeping up with this story. Help me get it more popular!! Allons-y and stay fantastic! :)
