A DAUGHTER FOR ODIN. Daughter of Destiny.

The Sad Parting Part 3 (June 07 2016)

Later that evening when everyone was sound asleep Thor slipped through the secret door from his room into Loki's only to find Loki gone. Thor knew where to look since they were little Loki would always slip out of his room without being seen. Thor walked to the other side of Loki's room and slid his hand along the far wall feeling for the latch he knew was there. Thor heard a click and smiled at his achievement.

Quietly Thor slipped through the secret door into a hidden corridor between the walls. It was tight fit for him as he had grown more muscular than Loki who was growing tall but was very lean and agile.

Thor twisted sideways and tried his best to not scrap the walls to give his presence away to the guards that may be patrolling the hallways. Though he had not taken this route in a long while he knew the path well, after a few minutes he reached his destination. Thor slid the trigger brick to one side and a panel slide quietly inward to the bedroom of his little sister Jazzi.

Loki looked up from the book he had been ready to Jazzi, despite being angry with Thor he smiled. Loki was happy that his brother had come to see little Jazzi. Jazzi was curled up next to Loki on her bed with her head nestled against his shoulder.

Thor closed the door and took off his boots and left them by one of the chairs by the fireplace. A warm fire was blazing; the crackling sound of the wood was a soothing sound to Thor. Thor thought to himself how odd that the fire in his room never seemed as soothing. It must be a spell his mother put on Jazzi's room.

If Thor really knew the truth it was the magic that was in his little sisters heart that gave her room a warm comfortable atmosphere. In the years to come when he would step into this room he would feel the same thing though the room was no longer a bedroom but a small library of his mother's collectibles.

Thor walked slowly over to the bed where Loki and Jazzi were sitting. He stopped at the edge of the bed and knelt and blinked tears of regret staring at his baby sister. Jazzi stirred and reached her hands towards Thor. Thor smiled, ever since Jazzi was little this was her signal to him that she wanted her big brother to pick her up. When he was younger he always hated it but over the year his heart seemed to have a mind of its own. I loved his little sister and wanted nothing more than to protect her.

Thor crawled onto the bed and Jazzi curled her little hand around Thors arm pulling him in closer. Thor leaned forward and grabbed the blanket at the end of the bed and covered himself up. Thor winked at Loki and said, "Ready little brother read on."

Loki smiled and fluffed the pillow behind him and read on. Using his best impression of his fathers voice he read the greatest story told, "The Creation of the Cosmos by Odin and his brothers: (http://norse-mythology.org/tales/norse-creation-myth/)

"Odin and his brothers slew Ymir and set about constructing the world from his corpse. They fashioned the oceans from his blood, the soil from his skin and muscles, vegetation from his hair, clouds from his brains, and the sky from his skull. Four dwarves, corresponding to the four cardinal points, held Ymir's skull aloft above the earth.

After all the children had fallen a sleep Odin and Frigga slipped into the room to find all three children curled up around one another sleeping soundly. Odin's heart quivered with joy at the site of all his children together and he nearly changed his mind.

Frigga gazed from her children back to Odin with tears in her eyes. Neither wanted to ever lose treasured memory or the feeling of all their children together in a pure moment of unconditional Love, but they knew that there was no other way. Odin nodded softly to his wife and Frigga cast a lasting sleeping spell upon her children.
