"Please sit, i have a tale to share." Anergias led you too a bench that sat under a sconce that dripped a dull glow into the chamber. Kit sat at your feet as you plopped down onto the seat which was a lot harder than you thought, leaving you with a small pain in your butt.

"Many ages ago I experienced the same vision. The man is the Eternal known as Thanos, he is a merciless, barbaric ruler from Titan, a whole other realm from the common nine. He was bent on conquering the planet of mortals when he appeared to me, I was the only imminent threat, I was the only thing that stood in their way. I kept them at bay on my own for many, many Earth years. I drove him to the edge of oblivion. But he must've crawled his way out since I've passed. He makes a great deal of threats, so unless he appears in your dreams very frequently, you need not worry, you're not his target. He must see you as some kind of threat though, Daughter of Frigga, the Goddess of love and strength. You are a Goddess aswell, unlike me, I was just a regular AEsir, you can keep Thanos at bay forever. This responcibility carries a heavy burdon though."

"I share no relation to that family any longer!" You came off more harsh than you intended, and you returned to a calming tone.

"What If I just take Earth for myself, then I can always protect them."

"Are your true intentions protection? If you say yes, you will be lying. No one sets off looking for such a task."

"I can be a fit ruler, by right of birth I deserve Asgard at most, Midgard should not be a hard task. I deserve to rule," your eyes held resentment but your voice carried an even tone."I can use the knowledge from your journal to create my elemental army, a force made from neither Hell nor Heaven."

"What fills your heart with Bloodlust, young one." Anergias couldn't help but question.

"That's my little secret" the corners of your lips twisted into a smirk.

"Please, grant me your blessing for my oncoming battles. And silently bless the souls that will be delievered to Hel and her Helheim." you shoot up from your seat and stand before the visage.

"May you reign victorious over the strongest of forces, hail and farewell." Anergias waved a hand across your eyes before he, himself disappeared.

Familiar blues and whites stream through the cracks of the chamber and in the blink of an eye, you and Kit are transported into the grand hall in Jotunheim.

"Korag, would you be a dear and send dinner into my study? I have a lot of work to do." As you were about to walk down the corridor to your office, Korag pipped up.

"Actually, Loki has requested you join him for dinner. There are dresses on your bed to pick from."

"Oh has he? Anyway I could get out of this one?" you ask, really not in the mood to get all dolled up. That stuff took work, and you had no time for little tasks as such when you had so much on your mind. Taking Earth for yourself, how to deal with the Avengers, how to deal with Loki, and now a new threat arises, an Eternal who thinks he can threaten you and live to tell the tale. What has the worlds come to?

"Not likely" Korag faintly laughed at you.

"So be it" you changed your course to the other side of the grand hall and walked off to your room. Kit following suit. As you opened your door, you were met by Loki leaving his room.

"Have you gotten my invitation for tonight?" he asked with a -surprising- smile.

"I have, I will see you for dinner soon"

Loki just gave a light nod before going on his way. You slipped into your room and Kitsune walked passed you and jumped onto your bed and spread himself out. You walked straight into the bathroom and began to draw a bath.

"You should join us for dinner, love. We'd have time to catch up." You call from the warm tub you had slipped into.

"I'm fairly sure Loki wants privacy between the two of you."

"Well I'm fairly sure I want you to be there."

"I know better than to argue with you, of all people." Kits voice carried amusement as it reached your ears.

"Excellent!" The sound of water splashes filled the air for a while as you were bathing untill you walked out of the bathroom singing with a towel wrapped around you.

"Silence is the enemy against your urgency so rally up the demons of your soul OH AY OH AY" you sang into a hairbrush dramatically.

"More Midgardian music?" Asked a handsome gentleman that layed himself on your bed. His hair was shaggy and white, his garments were a white suit and a light blue vest that matched his eyes. You didn't notice him yet because you were used to Kit's white heap on your bed. You didn't even answer him and kept singing, swinging your hair around. The man on the bed laughed.

"Ah I sware that realm has the best music, I brought a whole bunch back from that time I visited for a, hm, was it a day? It had to be a day."

"It was indeed a day"

As you look over to the dresses, your eyes meet the mans.

"Well I havnt seen you look like this in a long time. Oooh and it's much cuter than I remember." You shot Kit a playful wink and noticed his pale cheeks begin to turn a light pink, which made you burst with laughter.

"If you can get older so can I! Just get your clothes on, we don't want to be late." Kit swung his long legs over the side of the bed and slid off, standing in the threshold of the door.

"Hey! No peeking" you wag your finger at him and he just laughs and leaves your room, giving you some privacy.

Three dresses layed out on your bed and you opt for the one in the middle which bared your colors, white and blue. The one to the left was green and gold and the one to the right was a deep burgundy.

You slipped on the dress with ease but the bodice was a corset, and you needed help stringing it up. You held the dress up as you peered out the door and into the hallway, looking for Kit, he wouldn't mind helping.

"Are you ready?" The voice that asked wasn't Kit's sly, light voice, but a cold and bestial one instead.

"Oh, uhm. Loki, I'm actually not ready, do you know where Kit is? I need his help with something"

"I can help, Kit is probably wandering around."

"No really, it's alright, I'm sure Kits here some-"

"_______, really" Loki insisted

"Am I interrupting something here?" Kit poked his head around the corner.

"No" you and Loki said in unison.

"I was just looking for you, Kit, mind helping me with something?" You motion him to enter your room.

"Of course malady" Kit follows you in and the door slams behind him in Loki's face.

"Did you just slam the door on him?" Kit asked with amusement.

"He'll get over it i'm sure," you sat on a stool infront of your vanity.

"Could you be a dear and tie this up for me?" moving your hair over your shoulder, you point to the untied laces on your back.

"What? The valiant warrior who can topple Gods and make the ground quake can't tie her own dress? Kit chucked and put his hands on his hips mockingly.

"You're lucky I love you, mate" you gave shot him a smile as he positioned himself behind you.

He brushed all your hair to one side, out of the way of the laces.

"So what is there to do now?" Kit asked as he began to make quick work of the ties.

"Well, that's what I was going to discuss during dinner, we do have our work cut out for us Kit. This should be dazzling."  

"Well let's get to dinner then" Kit flashes you a smile through the mirror and pats your shoulders.
