Twisted Fate (Loki Love Story)

Chapter 8 - Frigga and Malekith

Odin had some of the servants show Jane and I to a room each. My room was right next to Janes' and they both looked out towards the amazing city below us. My room had light green curtains, walls that were made of stone but had a light cream colour to them and a light brown bed lined with gold that was pressed against the wall. The roof was a pure white with twisted bronze metal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. There was a small desk with a bookshelf next to it filled with books, no doubt in the Asgardian language. The room was beautiful and full of light and colour. There were three mannequins with dresses on them lined up just before the open door to the balcony. One dress was a mixture of blue and gray, another one was red and gold and the final dress was a green and gold dress. I grabbed the green dress and looked around the room so I could find somewhere that would allow me to change. I saw a closet that was placed next to a wooden curtain that was positioned in the corner of the room that had a wooden divider next to it. I changed behind the wooden curtain and found a pair of gold shoes. As I put the shoes on I noticed carvings in the wooden divider. It seemed to be telling a tale of some great battle. After brushing my hair and creating two small side braids that would meet on the back of my head before joining the rest of my flowing dark red hair, I left my room just being able to see Jane and Thor walking down the hall. I smiled at the two as I turned the other way and walked back to the library that Odin took us too. Once there I found a fireplace with a chair placed to the side of it deciding that I would sit there. I walked around looking for a book that I could read. After hours of looking my eyes latched onto an old dark blue book called 'The Tales Of The Immortals'. The name of the Author seemed to have been rubbed off for the time it had been on the shelf. I walked back to the chair and sat down curling my legs underneath my as I began to read. The book tells stories of great heroes in a land known as Alfheim, a kingdom ruled by Elves of all people, and by the looks of it these Elves are nothing like the ones that Odin told us about. Apparently these Elves are extremely powerful, even more powerful than the Asgardians themselves. They are said to be graced with extreme beauty and that they have only slightly pointed ears and small markings on the skin. They have a deep and meaningful connection with the world around them which would allow them to get nature to help in fighting off enemies and invaders. The stories were filled with heros both male and female who fought in epic adventures. In many stories it mentioned that the elves had a strong connection with creatures known as frost Giants from Jotunheim, a planet that was close by and that both the elves and the frost Giants could live on either planet.
"Are you enjoying the book?" a sweet sounding voice said from beside me, scaring me half to death. I jumped out of my chair, dropping the book in the process as I regained my balance to see a woman dress in a lovely blue dress with long blonde hair. She was standing with one hand placed on the top of the chair I was sitting in. Her smile was warm and comforting.

"Y-yes, very much, It is so creative and the stories are so intriguing." I said as I looked at her with confusion trying to figure out who the woman was.

"That's good," the woman said as she walked around me and picked up the book before turning to face me with her back to the roaring fire. "Tell me how can you read this language? Where are you from?" she asked, handing the book back to me.

"I'm from...what did Odin call it....midgard, and it's just simple english." I said back to the lady who was looking at me with slightly squinted eyes and he head on a slight tilt.

"My dear what is written in that book is not asgardian nor is it the Midgardian language you believe it to be, it is the language of the Elves of Alfheim, which are said to have been extinct for years.'' She took a step closer to me as I quickly opened the book expecting english only to be greated by weirdly positioned lines, symbols and dots. I let out a gasp in shock.
