My love for Loki

Untitled Part 17

This has been one of the greatest days ever. I spent it with my dad, Loki. I know grandpa Odin didn't want to let him out of his cell but he broke easily when he saw my eyes starting to tear up. He gave in very easily. We sit in the middle of the gardens looking up at the stars of the night sky. I lay on top of him as the stars completely fascinate me. My dad doesn't really talk about my mom. She was immortal and died shortly after I was born due to birthing complications. I can't help but wander where she went though.
"Dad?"
"Yes, honey"
"where did mom go?" I ask softly, silence fills the air.
"I mean I know she died and she's not here with us but where did she go. she couldn't have just disappeared. Could She?" I look up at him with big eyes. His eyes fill with so many emotions. He gathers me in his arms and sits me on his lap.
"Look at the sky" I look up "What do you see"
"Stars"
"yes but what else" I furrow my eyebrows together and look at him confused. he smiles softly at me.
"Look at the stars the great people of the past look down on us. They guide us. yes they are not with us at this moment but they will always be with us."
Looking back up at the stars, they all seem connected some way, some how.
"we are all connected, in the great circle of life. we are never alone and you must not forget that. no matter how far something might be, no matter how alone you might feel, we are connected and you will never be alone."
The stars seem to shine so much brighter than they ever have before.
"is mom up there?' I look into his eyes, he smiles
"she is up there, she's looking down on us and guiding us. but she is not only up there but she is in here and here" he points to my head and my heart. I lean back against his chest and lay my head on his shoulder. falling sound asleep, Loki carries y/n to her bed and sets her under the covers before tucking her in. He smiles gently when she starts squirming, he places her stuffed lion toy under her arms. He places a gentle kiss on her forehead after she settles down.
"We are part of each other" he whispers before leaving.
