The Infinity Stone

6

When Odin left with Loki, Frigga had the guard free Aria from the binds immediately. " I am so sorry my dear, come with me." While she lead Aria to a new place in the large building, she began to explain. 

" You, are like a chosen one. You will save the Universe from chaos, and death, the universe chose you to hold the stones. With this being said, you will be watched forever, by enemies and friends. I will teach you what I know, I can feel the magic run through you." It was there when Aria processed everything, Frigga turned around when she notice she stopped walking.

" What is wrong dear?" She asked placing a hand on her arm. Aria flinched from the sudden movement.
"Sorry, lost in thought. I was never told who I was bond to." She wanted to change the subject to anything but the stones. Frigga lead her to the largest Library she had ever seen, she smiled when she saw the poor young girl smile at all the books. 

" Loki, that is why you bare his mark on his wrist. I believe you will get along nicely." Aria looked at her sadly. She just barley got out of a relationship, and was being thrown into a whole new one. 

Frigga watched her run her hand along all the books she walked past. She noticed Loki had placed himself next to his mother. " I am truly bond to her?"
Frigga nodded, " give her a chance, her whole life just changed." Loki only nodded, he didn't want to voice his opinion like he had to Odin. While Thor found it hilarious, Loki found it annoying. He looked down at his mark, it had been a symbol of death and life. 

Aria looked at the two, sighing as the spoke. She looked at the window, finally getting a look of the outside. Please come get me dad. She thought to herself, trying desperately not to break down. Frigga could feel her uneasiness. " Lets get you to bed, you must be exhausted." It was true, she was exhausted, and her face had shown it. 

She had grown pale, and and had bags under her eyes. Loki left them be, while Frigga lead her to her chambers. She bid her goodnight and left Aria to herself. Aria did not sleep that night. She sat on the railing of the balcony, feeling small tears make there way through. 

What if I just let go? Maybe I could finally rest.

She knew she didn't have the guts to fall to her death, she also knew that fall would not kill her. She looked up at the stars, once again longing for her father. She wanted him to come save her, like he should have years ago. 

She would often think about what her reasoning for living was, she always felt like a burden to those around her. Even now, more than ever had she felt like another helpless child. Not only did she have to move to a completely planet, but she was suppose to be the soulmate to Loki, someone she though hadn't existed till this very morning. She had no doubt that he too felt compelled by all this.

She traces the marking on her skin, wishing things had been different. Wondering what life would be like being born to any other person. Perhaps had she not been Tony Starks daughter she wouldn't have to deal with this, it would have been someones else's problem. Then she found it pointless think about the what if's of life, this was hers now wither she liked it or not. 

She played with her necklace till she saw it begin to brighten. She looked up and saw that it had already been dawn, when she looked below her she could already see the servants getting to work. How crazy that had been, calling people servants again. Before she got down from the railing, a knock was heard from the other side of the door. 

She reluctantly got down, wondering who in the world would be at up and ready this early. Even more to her surprise, Loki barged in through after she opened the door by an inch. " Yes, please come in." She said, annoyed,  putting the door in its original place. 

He sat himself on the bench in front of her untouched bed. " You look absolutely horrid." Was the first thing this little shit had to say. Aria ran her fingers through her hair glaring at him.
" I could say the same to you. What in the world could you want at this bloody hour?" 

" Answers." Aria threw her head back and muttered, ' for fuck sakes.'

" Why would a halfing such as yourself hold any importance?" Aria rolled her eyes, and walked back to the balcony, only to be followed by Loki.
" Aw, is the spoiled little prince jealous of me?" 

" I have no reason be jealous of half-breed." He said, hoping to strike some nerve with her, but it had not been going nearly as planned.
" Said every jealous person ever." He grabbed her by the upper arm, and made her face him. " Listen her you mewling quim, I am a person you don't want to cross, so you will do well to respect me and answer my questions." 

" I've got to give it to you," she pulled her arm back and leaned agaist the wall. " I've never heard that one before. As for the rest, I couldn't care less about your wants and need. Do you really think I have any idea what I am, and why I am what I am? I found out everything with you not to far." 

She took deep pride in making the one who is consider to have a silver tongue, think of his next reply. " Why do you care anyway. I know I'm just a bloody burden upon your royal shoulders. But fret not, I feel that I with all this going on, I will probably be dead in a couple years tops." 

His new form nearly scared her. He was no longer angry, but calm. He pulled something form a pocket of some sorts, and handed her that something wrapped in a cloth. " Here, before I forget." 

" What the hell is it," he gave her a look that said ' open it you idiot,' so she did. It was a ring, with a green stone in the middle. She looked up at him, waiting for him to explain. " Are you purposing?" 

" If you want to go all technol, we are already engaged. My father said we are to be wed withing the year. Now put the damn ring on your left hand so Odin will get off my back." One of us will not make it a year, if this is how it will be.

" Happy?" She said showing him the ring now on her finger.

"Exhilarated."
