Moreau paced his room in the local country inn called the Cheery Drunk, not far from Valhalla Hall. Many of the young men were resting there after the riding competition, and Moreau wanted to be close to Loki. He wanted to study his habits and schedule so that he might figure out what he did with his time. He tried to drink from his mug, but found it empty. He growled and threw it into a dark corner. Instead of the sound of it hitting the wall, there was a dull plunk, and Moreau spun around. That was when he saw a figure sitting in a chair in the shadowy corner. "Why the display of temper, Citizen Moreau?" asked a cold voice.
"Who are you, and what do you want?" Moreau asked. Instead of giving the man time to answer, he reached for his pistol. Before he quite had it in his hand, the gun was encased in ice on the table. Moreau snatched his hand back and looked back at the figure in the corner. The man leaned forward, and Moreau gasped. His skin was a rich blue and his eyes were red. There were marks like scars on his skin and his teeth were sharp.
"Think twice before you attack a Frost Giant, Frenchman. I've taken on a weaker form, and when I want to, my skin and eyes will look like yours. But I've maintained my strength. I've come to you because you're interested in the Norseman. And I want revenge. Your Norseman, and my revenge are one and the same thing. Well, are you interested in hearing more?" the Frost Giant asked as he stood up. If he was shorter than he was normally, he was still very large, six foot six inches. If Loki made him feel small, the Frost Giant made Moreau feel insignificant.
"You say that your revenge and the Norseman are the same thing? If that's the case, then I am interested," Moreau responded. The Frost Giant smiled wickedly.
Loki lay in his bed, fast asleep. His eyelids twitched a little, and he frowned a slightly. He tossed to one side and then other. A chill crept into the room, and Loki shivered. Suddenly, his eyes snapped open, and his pupils narrowed.
