"Could you refrain from pacing, Silver Tongue?" Asked Heimdall. Since Loki came back from Jotunheim, which was ten minutes ago, he did nothing, but paced around the Bifrost with an absolutely blank expression and said nothing, which was a bit odd, because he was the one to talk very much. Hearing his voice, the younger prince snapped out of his trance and turned to Heimdall. All he said was:

"Vanaheim." And he vanished in a ray of colourful light.

When Loki landed in a pine forest, he promptly transformed himself into his cat form. He wanted to avoid being seen, because he had a hunch that something important to his case may be in this realm. Using his above average hearing and just a little bit of magic, he located the nearest city. The forest was dark, but he didn't mind it. He walked hours and hours before he reached his destination. The city was located on a small mountain, which was a wise choice from a strategic point of view. If attacked, the citizens would notice every move in the trees from the giant wall surrounding the city. Currently, an equally huge gate was open and lots of people entered. While the whole architecture looked like pulled straight out of a war in Midgardian Middle Ages, Vanaheim was currently a peaceful realm. Weaving between the legs of the Vanir, Loki slowly made his way to the main square, since a great part of the crowd was heading right there. When he manage to get to the middle, he guessed why. There stood quite a big stage. And on the stage, surrounded by the growing crowd, a beautiful woman was singing. She had wavy brown hair and caramel skin. Dressed in a grey tulle dress, she looked like one of the finest dames of Asgard. Most of the men, looked at her in adoration and equally lots of women with envy. Wives hit their husbands with their elbows and they looked at them apologetically before continuing to stare. Loki however, sensed something odd about her. He could tell if someone was lying and he felt that she didn't look like that usually. It wasn't an illusion, though. Their were easier to sense than this. Maybe she was a shapeshifter? He would have to touch her to know for sure. But how? And why? Somehow he knew it was important.

After a while he came up with a plan. He quickly moved to the end of the crowd and slipped in a dark street. He switched his form to his Aesir one and then he changed a few things. His eyes were hazel and more slanted then usually, to imitate Vanir. His hair was longer and dark brown. He was a bit more muscular and had a bit more tanned skin. Time to continue with his plan. Thank Vallhalla he could sing. He retreated to the square and started pushing through the crowd. The singer was just finishing her song and was about to start another one. Once she sang the first few words, he immidiately knew what song it was.

Empty spaces, what are we living for?
Abandoned places, guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for?

"The Show Must Go On" by a midgardian band called Queen was a beautiful song. Maybe it was a rather odd realm but the music was fantastic. Fortunately, he knew all the words. Before she could start the next verse, he already started climbing the stage, joining in.

Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore

She looked slightly surprised at first, but she quickly masked it with a smile. What a perfect actress. It looked like it was planned, letting him sing this verse and joined for the chorus.

The show must go on
The show must go on, yeah
Inside my heart is breaking
My makeup may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

They sang it with such emotion, that some people shed a tear. Loki knew he couldn't touch her now, because all his illusions will disappear within a second of contact. So he sang along her, verse by verse, chorus by chorus, until the very end.

The show must go on
The show must go on
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On with the show

He reached for her hand and she needed to copy his movements, to look like it was planned. When their hands where just inches apart, a wind appeared around them and, suddenly, Loki felt it. He felt the same magic as on Svartalheim. He quickly needed to get over his shock, because the singer or rather "the powerful magical being" started to disappear quickly. He only made it on time to catch a tip of her dress before the darkness engulfed him along with her.
