I sleep through the battle with Night Era and the finishing stages of castle takeover. I sleep through the coronation of the Shadow Queen, her marriage to her childhood sweetheart, the coronation of her new husband. Sicario stays with me, leaving only to eat and use the bathroom. When I wake, just a day and a half after the Elves stormed the castle, the hall of magic has been cleaned, the blood washed away and body removed. An elf greets me with clean clothes and the promise of a warm bath or shower, my preference of course. Krizzy is already awake and the shadow queen and her husband, the light king are waiting to speak with me.

Sicario is awake too and walks me to a guest chamber where I will be staying until it is time to go to Ayllaria. I meet with the Shadow Queen and Light King and they thank me for my service to Faerie, for my help in restoring balance. They give me a medal, a reward, and a permanent room in the palace. It all sickens me, being rewarded and lauded for killing a woman. Sadistic and dangerous but her blood still stains my hands. I leave my medal and rewards in the room when I leave for Ayllaria.

Sicario comes with me Dimi stays at the palace. The elves help both of us to heal. Sicario's aunt asks him to return but he says no. Krizzy travels between Ceteria and an older, long lost castle that she is bringing back to life. I learn, train, and heal. At some point I stopped surviving and started living again. The time came for me to return home. I said my goodbyes in Ayllaria, and at the palace in Faery and went home.

"I never made it home though, SHIELD swooped in and, well y'all know the rest." I finish, "Uncle Bucly, your hand is kind of chillier than I expected. Um," I look up at the hand on my head, my uncle is hugging me, with both arms as I lean on his shoulder but a hand is resting on top of my head, "Hey Loki. Why is your hand cold? Is that healthy, is your body temperature supposed to be so low, are you okay?"

"I am a Jotun"

"That explains so much. What's a Jotun? Is it a kind of person or a health condition? What does that mean?"

"Jotuns are frost giants" Loki says.

"Oh, so you're supposed to be kind of cold? Nifty. I think I am about to fall asleep again, good nigh-" and my eyes close as I fall asleep.
