~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But Khione didn't kill him. She didn't even touch him during all that fight. She stepped away, sheathing her weapons. He looked at her surprised.

"Why didn't you..." He didn't even finish the sentence.

"Now. Are you please done with the whole 'I'm-gonna-fight-you-though-I-can't-win' façade?"

She sounded tired. It kind of irked Loki's senses, as if she was not supposed to know exhaustion. But she did. And it felt unnatural. Wrong. But why?

He nodded, answering the question.

"Yeah, certainly, but why didn't you? 'Cause I know it isn't cause I have to tell Odin that you're powerful and et cetera. You could have done it by sending him my head."

He was curious why she spared him. She didn't seem surprised at his questions, again... more like proud. And also sad a bit. She was hard to read. He couldn't understand.

"And you won't for a while."

She was a telepath?

"Yes, I am. And you are far more powerful than you think, Loki. You just aren't trained well enough. Frigga may be the best sorceress on Asgard, but your power is excessively greater than she could ever dream of."

She turned her back to him, watching the great white mountains instead. He was even more confused than before. He didn't feel as powerful. Khione must have heard his thoughts, 'cause she turned around once again.

"Loki, dear, your pure magic is stronger than Odin's!" She almost spat out the hated name. "You couldn't have overpowered him right now, because of the lack of training, but when you learn, you will be one of the most powerful beings in the universe!"

Loki made a few steps back from shock. He knew she didn't lie. She really believed that. The Is Dronning believed that. Wow.

"Then teach me." He said on impulse. Khione smiled mysteriously, but he could see sadness and grief behind that smile, no happiness.

"I can't. Not now. You must discover your true self, before I start teaching you anything, because it can have terrible consequences. And I'm sorry, I truly am, but I can't do it for you. But know this: when you do find yourself, I will be waiting, I will come for you." She sounded depressingly sad. He started to fear for his future.

"Do you know the future?" He asked, a bit anxious. Khione shook her head.

"No, I don't. Nobody knows. I only know the past and the present, but that is all I need."

"Need for what? " He asked. He hated when he couldn't understand. Khione just once again gave him this sad, mysterious smile. They stood in silence for a few minutes, it looked like the sorceress was debating on something in her mind. Then, she decided to say something.

"I can't tell you exactly what I know, for it may alter the future, but I can give you a clue of what I found out. Unfortunately for both of us I have to make up a way not to use any exact words, it can't be a direct information."

Loki wondered why, but guessed that she wouldn't tell him anyway. Khione started pacing in frustration, probaby trying to think of something as simple as it could be. It went on for a few minutes, the woman muttering under her breath. Suddenly, she stopped and turned to him, her face once again heavy with that terrible exhausted expression.

"A threat is near. An old threat, bound by something that will be broken involuntarily. But this one action will change the universe, put in motion events so huge that no one can imagine them. And there will be a victim of the fight. An innocent victim that can't be spared for they play a role so important that the stability of the universe depends on it. But it will almost break them. The victim will be a hero, though, to the ones that know the truth. Crowds will judge, but force isn't the only way to do things. There is a much more effective one, though it requires great strength. The most unlikely will save the day, but the cost will be terrible. The Dark Age comes."

She finished her terrifying speech. She looked so immensely tired and sad and done. Loki was stunned. He memorised the lines, not trying to understand them now, but concentrating on the woman, who regained her cold but sad demeanour. It helped. Getting his mind to move on, not dwell. He felt something off about her, but it was small enough for him to think it was because the lines were hiding the truth.

Khione sighed.

"Unfortunately, that's all I can do. You must do this part on your own, but once it's done, I'll help you. I already know everything. About you, that is. Still, I can't explain it now. You need to go know, but take this little piece of advice. Odin is a liar and a damn dick."

Loki and Khione smirked in unison. The prince bowed and the sorceress snorted.

"I will take you to Vanaheim again, don't retch this time please. From there, you will go back to Asgard and without saying any detail about me, with any I mean my powers, what I look like, anything, you will say that you found my home abandoned, with signes of fight inside. It will exclude any idea that you're incompetent. Tell Odin that you traced my magic, but the trail ended at my base again. No spell can trick the energy tracing one, you know that. You should be relatively okay like this. But remember, kinda my life depends on how good you are at lying and I really don't want to mess with your mind. That should be all. And remember what I told you. Odin is a dick and you are exceptionally powerful. Gods, that should be my motto. Anyway, let's take you to Vanaheim." She finished a bit too cheerily.

Loki nodded to tell her that he memorised all of the info. She nodded back and grabbed his shoulder. Then, they vanished.
