Avengers- The tale of Sigyn

Chapter ten

It's a calm and sunny day in Asgard. The towering metal towers gleam in the sunlight. People laugh and smile as they in the streets. Somehwere theres music flowing out from a window, the people underneath dance to the beat. The guards at the palace laugh and play jokes on the others. Ships fly by peacefully. All is well.

Thor sits in his room accompanied by Lady Sif who is polishing the blade of her sword, Thor is swirling Mjolnir on his index finger. They both appear to be bored on this sunny and happy day.

"It is a nice day is it not?" Lady Sif asks watching a ship fly by 

"Yes it is" Thor says looking at the bifrost, the rainbow colored stones shine beautifully but to Thor it just makes his heart ache for his mortal love

"What shall we do today Thor?" Lady Sif asks looking at him from the corner of her eye

"I do not know, the nine realms are in peace, Odin has everything under control, no new enemies have appeared and the old ones are quite calm . Therefore we have nothing to do" Thor is so distracted that Mjolnir slips from his finger and spins towards the window, as it's about to crash and break it Thor summons it back to his hand. They stay in silence until Sif grows irritated

"Since you are being of the most fun today I shall go to the armory and train" Lady Sif stands and puts her sword away "you are welcome to come if you like" she waits expectantly

"No, go have fun" Thor says dryly, the disapointment is plain on Lady Sif's face but Thor doesn't see it his gaze is still on the bifrost. Sif leaves closing the door a little too forcefully but Thors thoughts are not in Asgard they travel into the bifrost into the realm of Midgard there he pictures his lover's face, her soft brown hair falling into her chocate colored eyes, her smile is warm. Thors sighs content and grows frustrated at himself, he should go to her but he does not want to ruin her life. Why should she suffer to love him when he could never stay by her side, he cannot leave his home and she will die long before he does.

He over turns the table before him in desperation. His breathing is heavy he stands and paces the room, his frustration starts to diminish with each step and turns into sadness

"Sir there has been an incident in the holding cells" an out of breath guard informs pulling Thor out of his pain and thrusting him into his role as Prince

"What happened?" he demands as he strides toward the lower levels of the castle where they hold the violent and dangerous criminals

"We dont know how he got in" the guard says walking along Thor "he simply appeared, he raised no alarms and was about to step through the cell's energy barrier when we managed to stop him"

"What was he after?" Thor asks finishing the last pair of stairs and struting down the corridor the leads directly to the cells

"He was after the prisoner L83127" the guard says "the man that appeared was killed in his struggle, he did manage to hurt the prisoner superficially, the weapon went clean through the barrier as if it weren't there"

"That is quite disturbing" Thor says approaching the cell of the prisioner L83127

"We've informed Odin" the guard adds and Thor nods, he stares at the man inside the cell, his once combed black hair is now messy and dirty, his clothes are a bit torn and wrinkled. He sits on the floor his back against the wall, his head back and his eyes closed. A bandage covers his neck, a small red line blots the white fabric

"Loki" Thor whispers, the man inside opens his eyes and stares at him, those green orbs stare with such intensity that Thor has to looks away from the hate that fills them
