Part 4
Merlin pounced on Loki and would have consumed him, if Loki had not created another fireball inside the beast’s mouth. Merlin dropped him like a hot potato and darted towards its mistress. Frigga was trembling from her scare, but the cat’s hideous scream made her turn around. “What’s wrong Merlin?” she asked the cat as she stroked its fur. The cat simply meowed loudly, while Loki weaved from side to side, thoroughly drained. It was only the sound of a familiar voice complaining that made Loki look up. He barely missed getting stepped on by Signy, the Frost Giantess.
“I’ll wager it was Loki your majesty! That boy is no good!” she said as she started to clean up the mess that Loki did create.
“Quiet Signy! I won’t have you speak that way about my son! He’s different from Thor, but I wouldn’t have both my sons be the same,” Frigga said, defending Loki. Loki stood up a little straighter and smirked in Signy’s direction. Of course, she could not see it, but if she had, she would have clouted him over the head. “Besides, the boy’s out swimming with Thor and the Norn Sisters. There’s no way he can cause this,” Frigga said as she kissed Merlin on the head. That was when the door was opened and Thor was standing there. The Norn Sisters were behind him, Verdandi and Urðr having smiles on their faces.
“Mother, have you seen Loki? He walked away in a huff after I splashed him with water. He was so absorbed in reading those Dark Elf scrolls,” Thor said. Frigga’s eyes widened and she turned to Signy, who had a grin on her face. Loki saw the way things were going and the anger built up inside of him. He glared at the Norn Sisters, and that was when he started shouting. He closed his eyes and kept shouting. When he opened his eyes again, everyone in the room was looking at him with opened mouths. Loki looked at himself and saw that he was his own size again. That was when he started laughing like a crazy person. He rushed to Frigga, gave her a kiss, and then hugged Thor. “Where were you this whole time?” Thor asked when Loki finally let go of him.
“Why don’t you ask Verdandi where I’ve been?” Loki said, coming up and looking the Goddess of Fate in the eye. Verdandi did not quake but looked him firmly back. Until Loki snapped his fingers and she became a mouse. Merlin went crazy!
“Father would have forgiven you for setting fire to Mother’s dress, if, you hadn’t made Verdandi a mouse. Merlin almost ate her,” Thor said that evening as they walked back to their chambers. Loki smirked instead of responding and Thor shot him a look. “Don’t tell me you found that situation funny?” he prodded.
Loki turned to look at him and grinned even broader. “Yes. Yes I did,” was the answer he gave Thor. He then entered his room and said, “Goodnight Thor!”
