Devotion For Salvation (LokixSigyn) ON HOLD

Chapter 9

It's coronation day for the mighty Thor the God of Thunder and Lighting, the worthy holder of Mjolnir. Today he shall be granted the throne and be crowned king of Asgard.

If the eveything goes to plan, there won't be a new king if Asgard. Not for awhile. I highly doubt there will be any complications to my plan otherwise I would have to take things into my own hands, as if I haven't done enough already.

I stare into my mirror but I don't see me, I see a mad man.

It is madness? It is isn't it...

There is no going back now, there is no way back in the matter of fact. I've had my chance to prevent this but I simply cannot let Thor be king. Not now.

I exhale smoothly, grab my helmet, and head to Frigga's chambers. My walking is off putting, too rushed, I think I may be sweating. Perhaps I should play it off like I'm nervous. Everyone does get quite nervous from time to time, but will people believe me?

I laugh at my thoughts, I don't know how I still manage to trick myself.

The walk isn't too far. Her room is only a hall away. I knock on the door lightly. There is no answer. I knock again but a little harder. I do not hear any footsteps. Perhaps she is having a bath? I knock a louder and very hostile.

"Loki. What on Asgard are you doing?" Thor comes around the corner, still wearing his nightwear.

"Why aren't you dressed?" I grunt as I take step towards him.

"Answer me first, brother." He yawns.

"I usually see mother every morning, for a sense of peace for the day ahead. I really need my peace for today." I roll my eyes.

"Liar. You are always with Sigyn. Not lately though. I was going to get dressed right away by the way." He says annoyed, I look down at my feet and regret ever ignoring Sigyn these pass few days. Thor notices I am disappointed in myself. "I think mother may be in the grand hall for some final preparations."

He hesitates to walk away but when he does I could feel a very furious aura from him. Like I care. It'll be nothing compared to what is to come for him. I do love my brother and I deeply regret doing this, but it's for the better good.

"Loki, what brings you here?" Frigga comes from the same direction Thor left from. A smile plasters on her face, I smile back and realize she's wearing a sparkling gold dress for the coronation.

"I thought I'd come for a little visit after Thor is king you'll be helping him with his duties." I lie with a sad childlike feel.

"Oh, Loki. After Thor is king I will still be your mother. I will have spent the same time as I had when you were children. I am your mother after all." She caresses my cheek with the palm of her hand before she plants a light kiss on my lips. "You two have an unbreakable bond. No matter, power or energy in the universe can break it apart. Thor will still be Thor. You will still be you."

'Thanks, mother." I give her a light kiss on her forehead then she walks away with a pleasant smile plastered across her face.

How can I be happy today? All I feel is guilt. I am ruining Asgards' big day.

Buzzing is all I can hear as I open my eyes, I try sit up then I realize I am still in the infirmary. I groan and tuck myself to get comfortable.

What happened to me that happened to land me in here?

The last thing I can remember is Deveah and Fandral's public display of affection in the legit center of the court yard in front of practically all of Asgard.

I wonder what I did after that?

I walked away... Then I can't seem to remember anything after that at all.

I decide that I've consumed too much wine. Nothing but a hangover. Enough of the Midgard slangs.

I need to get ready for the coronation.

"Nurse? Nurse?" I slowly sit up. "Is anyone here?"

I sit in complete silence for a minute and get off the bed and head for my quarters.

Something surely seems odd. Nothing really comes to my suspicion. It is just hard to put my finger on. Everyone is overjoyed for the soon to be future king of Asgard, even all the children have been excited about this event since it was rumoured. But I feel... This shouldn't happen so quickly. Thor cannot be king. That's what wrong? Do I really believe in this?

"Sigyn! My goodness child, you should be getting ready for the coronation. It's to be held before lunch." A tall muscular woman yells from behind me. I turn around and see the heroic valkyrie lady Sif.

"I was heading for my room just now." I say blankly.

"Well, Sigyn. You best be hurrying. The crowning will pass much more swiftly since the party ended earlier than expected." Sif smiles and gives me a sympathetic glare.

"What? Why could've the party have end early?" It was strange. Asgardian gatherings could last forver if they tried.

"Sigyn, you fainted out of nowhere. Eir has checked your vitals and almost everything but she couldn't find the cause. Frigga suspected it was some dark spell so she ended the party with an excuse for everyone to get their full rest. Do you still not remember?" Sif's hand are bow on my shoulders holding me steady.

So that's what happened. I still don't remember the exact image but I feel it's true.

"How do you know I don't remember anything?" I raise my eyebrow at her.

"Loki told Thor that's what you said when you woke up. You don't remember that either?" She stares at me wide eyed and scared.

"Unfortunately not." I unknowingly gaze at the ground lost in thought of last night.

A flash blinds my eyes and I see feel cold. I look up to see where I've gone. It's dimmed, rock everywhere, and more than one presence is hiding close by. I open my mouth but no words come out. There are no sound but the beat of my heart and nothing but evil, loneliness and hatred in it.

Bastard son...

"Guards! Gaurds! Get me a nurse! Something is wrong with Sigyn!"
