Perseus Jackson, God Of Heroes

What colour are Loki's eyes???

(A/N: Please don't skip this chapter. Important stuff is coming.)

I wandered around Asgard for a bit, before I saw Frigga standing on a balcony. I flew up to her.

"How are you, Frigga? Can I be of any assistance?" I asked her. She smiled sadly. "Can you please tell me what you sensed about Loki?"

Once again, I repeated the story of Loki's confused loyalties and the mental imagine of Big Grape. (The purple dude I saw in Loki's mind.) She paled at the mention of that, and made a wierd sound that sounded like "Hela".

"Frigga, may I ask who Hela is?"

"Our Firstborn and rightful Heir of Odin. She and Odin got on very well together. They led armies across vast battlefields together, never losing even a single battle, massacring thousands. She was the one who helped him gain control over the nine realms and make us the power we are today. But she soon became so ruthless and bloodthirsty that Odin realised the error of his ways. The only way to stop her was to trap her in a special prison that has been tied to his life force. It is her powers that have made the throne you describe. But please, do not tell my sons about her. They do not know that she exists."

"I won't tell them." I reasurred her. Frigga sighed and said, "You remind me a lot of Loki when he was young. He was a inquisitive boy, who had very little respect for authority. Everyone in the castle knew to stay as far away from him as possible when those green eyes glinted with mischief, but we all knew he was dependable and responsible".

Something seemed off about that statement. I couldn't recognise what had had made me feel uneasy, so I put the matter to the back of my mind, promising myself to think about it later. I turned to Frigga. "I would like your leave, Frigga. (Dad had drilled Royal Antique, Attike, ummm... Royal Etiquette into my head, when he gave me my title.) Sam told me that Odin wishes to have an audience with me." She nodded, and turned away, hiding her face. I could sense the anguish she was feeling at Loki's betrayal, but was helpless to do anything about it.

Sometime later, Sam and I stood outside the door of Odin's office at Hotel Valhalla. She knocked, and we entered. Odin was sitting on his chair at the desk, deep in thought. He looked up when we entered. "Samirah, Perseus." He absolutely refused to call me Percy😢.

After we sat down, he started to speak. "I wish to speak to you about the infinity stones. Ever since they were created, every three to four hundred years, one of the stones is found and brought into public eye. Only once or twice have two stones surfaced within decades of each other. But now, in just a week, three stones have come to light, all in situations related to us, the Norse. I do not know what to make of this situation. I want you, Samirah to find out where the stones are, and the identity of the people who have them. Once you have done that, I hope Perseus will accompany me to each of these hiding-places and verify the safety of the stones. Will you do it?"

Sam took in a deep breath. "Of course, Lord Odin." I just nodded. "Good....You may go now, Samirah."

I stopped Sam from flying away immediately. "Now listen, Sam. This is a highly dangerous mission. Just one stone, the Aether caused a lot of damage to Asgard, and us gods had a hard time containing it. So, whenever you find a stone, send me a message with the details and locations, but never, ever try to go any closer than five feet to any stone, get it?" She nodded, and jumped out of the window, zooming off.

Odin spoke again. "Now that she is gone, I must tell you of something worse. There is a legend among us that speaks of an ancient being of great power who shall destroy the world. It is believed to be a Prophecy. The exact wording has been lost through the ages, and this is all that I know for sure."
