She looked up to her audience, to the advisors of the former 'King', and then she looked down. Blood stained the floor, her boots and her swords. Skyler was covered in blood.

A silence had washed over the entire room; no one dared to speak. Neither did she wish for anyone to speak. The adrenaline of battle was wearing off, the impact of killing only now dawning on her. Many had fallen, only for her to rise... Skyler never imagined that this would be the way she rose to power. Since her thirteenth, she'd thought there would be a proper coronation and Odin would smile at her proudly, before putting a crown on her head.

The room around her began to sway – but maybe it was only her who couldn't keep balance... Everything around her was spinning, and Fire and Ice slipped from her hands. Again, there shot an agonizing pain through her body. It transformed back to the form of Joanna... like she were some real-life Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. She heard her mouth give a small cry of pain, and the ground came closer to her feet.

Before everything went completely black, she caught Raymond running toward her. Her head didn't hit the ground.

Loki could barely believe it – Sigyn had been right! Skyler was back, alive and breathing. Ready to rule and to fight. 'Goddess of Life'. A fitting title for a Queen.

He did not take his eyes off her for the entire time she just stared to Dickonson, or rather, his headless body. She stared at the blood on her own swords, on her hands... Then she looked around the room for a while, trembling on her feet.

Her duel swords slipped from her hands, and Loki looked at the blinding white light, curious of what it'd do. There stood the stunning girl again – the perfect mix of Thor and Jane, now that he looked closer. She had her mother's eyes, her father's hair, her mother's skin and her father's lips and jaw... the perfect mix, really.
