Dragon girl

Chapter 4

The following days have mostly been me and Loki talking except for one day when Thor wanted to know how good I was at fighting. So he dragged me down to the training area where he chose a fighter for me to fight against, as a human of course. Before the fight Thor told the man to go easy on me, which he then regretted because I easily won that fight by knocking him in the back with my fighting stick. When he was on the ground he flipped so he was on his back and I took the opportunity to put my foot on his chest and strike the stick into the ground next to his head. I used so much force that the stick was stuck in the stone floor and was surrounded in cracks. Loki and Thor looked at me with big eyes when they saw me break the ground with the stick. I looked up at them and for a moment you could see my eyes in a green color before turning back to grey. 

"Have any more challenges for me?" I ask them as I pull up the stick from the ground.

"No I do not.." Thor starts but gets cut off by Loki.

"I challenge you Emerald." he says grabbing a stick and walking up to the fighting circle.

I nod and we get into fighting positions, Thor looks like he's about to say something but stop himself and keeps quiet. We circle each other slowly before Loki launches against me and I simply step to the side and hit him on the back with the stick.

"Do not go easy on me Loki." I say challenging him.

He looks at me and does another attack that I also dodge and then counter attack by hitting him on the shoulder.

"What did I just say?" I taunt him.

He grit his teeth and launch at me with a roar, I still dodge him and hit him on his back again.

"Are you done playing?" I ask him with a smile.

That was it, he runs towards me and tackle me in my side with his shoulder so I fall to the ground and curl up like a ball hugging myself. He stands there panting looking at me, but I'm not moving. He gets on his knees next to me and shake my shoulder.

"Emerald?"

Quick as a snake I launch up on my feet making him fall over with my foot on his chest pinning him to the ground and my stick at his throat. He looks at me with confusion in his eyes and the other warriors clap their hands.

"But..how?" he asks.

"By taunting you and irritating you with the stick you quickly become angry and lose control and just attack. When you do that it is fairly easy to dodge or counter attack you. Or as I did, you use your opponents soft spot." I smile at him and then help him up.

Thor comes up to us with a big smile.

"Well fought Lady Cassandra and brother I think you have a few things to learn." he says.

Loki just looks away muttering something under his breath.

"But you were a good fighter, I did have some trouble seeing your next move in your eyes." I say to him, not just to give him some credit but also because it is true.

The day for me to go back to Midgard has finally come and me, Thor, Loki and Odin is standing at the bifrost with Heimdal at the 'key'. I say goodbye to Thor and Odin before I go up to Loki. He's looking down at his feet and I use my hand to lift his chin up so that our eyes meet.

"Do you really have to go back to Midgard?" he asks me.

"Yes, it is where I belong and I have a few friends there as well." I answer him.

"But it is so far away and you know that I can't go back to Midgard after what happened there."

"But I will always be with you, in your heart and in your mind."
