Before His Fall

22

I swung my sword at Thor, knocking his out of his grip. He groaned as I had a hand behind my back and was better than him. I giggled and could see Loki smiling at me from the stands. I did a really cool dodge as he tried to punch at me and my sword pressed against his neck as I used my magic to keep him from moving any more forward and cutting himself. 

I step away from him and flipped my wrist as my sword disappeared. "I thought you were a good fighter?" I tease. 

He tackles me to the ground playfully, causing me to squeal. As he tickled me, Loki came over and helped him. I was laughing my ass off by now. Once they stopped, Loki walked with me over to the stands. 

I fell into a flashback as we sat down.

Thor and Loki ran into Muspelheim's castle. Queen Louisa was helping me do cool shit with fire. Her ex-husband, Surtur, would have been pissed as he saw us being childish. Thor picked me up and spun me around.

"Put me down! I want to hug Loki!" I whined. Loki had just turned 9 and Thor was 12. I was still 8 but almost 9. Thor laughed and started tickling my side. I giggle loudly. Frigga had walked in with Odin close behind. I was placed on the couch and Loki started tickling me as well. "S-s-stop it!" I said as I laughed. Loki kissed my nose and Thor stopped. 

I hugged Loki as soon as I sat up. He smiled and hugged me as well. 

I smiled as I lay my head on Loki's shoulder.

"9 years..." I say. He smiles too after that.

"I will love you for millions of years, Rocks," he says.

"I might love you a few years less than that. Depends how annoying you get," I joke.

He laughs, "Let's go find the boys," he says.

I nod and we stand up, walking away from the arena.

We found the boys in the garden, playing with Onyx and Arctic. All 4 of them run to us. 

"Momma Rocky! Cousin Duke wants us to come to have a sleepover!" Narfi says. I smile, glancing at Loki who is also smiling. Duke is Robert's little brother. 

"I think that's a wonderful idea. How about you go find Asgroar and you head to Heimdall. I'll have E&E pack your bags and take you to Volkheim," I say. They cheer and run off with the wolves protecting following.

"So... We have a few hours to ourselves now," Loki says. 

I laugh and teleport away, throwing up a peace sign. I teleport to the library with all the papers that I need to look at. 

Loki enters a few minutes later and sits on the couch beside the table I was at.

Sewers need fixing- Clear

Harvest is too plentiful- Clear

Too many Homeless. Execution?- Deny

Stables are full. Build more?- Clear

Books take up too much space. Burn?- Deny!!!!!!

Painter wants to paint a mural of you- Clear for a later date

Soldiers unmotivated. Request your presence

"Loki, I'm going to Muspel," I say. 

"Why?" he asks, looking up from a sketchbook. 

"Motivate soldiers," I say, standing up and walking over to him. I kiss his cheek. "Define the light better. Shadows are invading areas they shouldn't. Also, my hair is slightly longer," I say and kiss him again.

"I love you," he says. 

"I love you too," I reply, "Don't hurt yourself. Stay safe," I say, gesturing to his wound on his chest. 

"You too," he says. "Remember to leave some flowers at her grave for me as well." Queen Louisa's grave. I smile. 

"Always. Please listen to your father. And help your mother until I get back," I say. He nods.

"See you soon," he says. 

"See you soon, Loks," I say and walk out. I walk the long path to our room where I pack my own bag. 

Once done, I put all my weapons in a dimensional pocket. I walk to the throne room. 

"Headed to Muspel," I shout into the room. 

Odin nods and Frigga yells out to be safe. I give a thumbs up and head to the arena. Sif and Fandrall hug me quickly and then so do Volgstagg and Hogun. Thor gives me a side hug. I smile. 

"No trying to get him to fight with you!" I say. Thor nods. I smile. I teleport to the Bifrost.

"Something is coming, young queen," Heimdal says. 

"I know. But I am the queen and must be there," I say. He opens the Bifrost and I am suddenly in Muspel. 

I am greeted by many people who bow. I smile and shake many hands. The little girl from all those years ago, who I discovered was named Gwen, ran over with the magic bird, Roki, following. Gwen was 12 now and looked like I did at her age. Badass. 

"Hey, Queen Rocky!" She says.

"Hey, Gwen!" I say and take her hand as we walk. 

"Why isn't Loki here?" she asks. 

"He had to stay in Asgard."

And we talked about her after that. About her 'brother' and his hot girlfriend. Once I get to the barracks, she runs off. I walk in and everyone stands attention.

"Listen up! Something is coming! Something big! I don't know what or when but soon! I don't want a mass panic! You are the best of the best! You are the defensive! You are the protectors of the people! You are my most trusted partners! I would put my life in your hands before I would put it in Asgard's!" I yell.

"HOORAH!" they all shout. 

I smile at my brave men and women. I give them a nod. 

"I have arranged a feast for all you and your families. I expect everyone to come and if a single one of you bow to me, I'll burn you," I jokingly threat. I hate when soldiers bow to me. 

I walk to the castle and go to my room.
