Chapter 1
"Brother, are you there?"
The voice was full of hurt and it trembled slightly.
"Loki is that you brother? Where are you?"
He turned and saw an evil grin plastered on Loki's face
"Open your eyes brother, I'm right here" he laughed. And he sank the staff into Thor's heart…
He woke up screaming his hand clasped around his injury but it was non-existent, "just a silly dream" Thor muttered as he sat up on his bed.
His clothes stuck to his body with his own sweat. He peeled them off and dressed in a simple tunic and trousers and he went to retrieve his hammer.
His room was strewn with stray weapons, bits of armor and bedclothes. No matter, he would just ask Loki to fix it again. But Loki's not here...
The realization of his missing brother flooded just as it did everyday since he had been taken away.
He remembered fighting Loki on Midgard and placing the gag on his mouth. Loki's eyes full of sorrow and sadness, Thor had wished he could of explained how the others must think of him as a prisoner or else they might not of let him return. When he had returned to Asgard he had intended to release Loki and welcome him home as he was forgiven. But apparently not by father… He remembered fighting off the guards, struggling to keep Loki safe in his chambers by jamming the door with mjolnir. But all he could remember was Odin coming in and sending Thor with great force into the wall. He was quickly losing consciousness but not quickly enough. Thor was the only one who heard Loki's muffled screams, but all he could do was look back at him. Thor's own teary eyes met Loki's green terrified eyes, which were screaming in pain as the guards descended and all went black.
As far as he had gathered from waking up, was that Loki had been found guilty of treason and had been sent off somewhere to endure who knows what. Since then Thor had spent weeks in his chamber alone. Until now, now he decided he must take a stand. He fiddled his hair into place picked up mjolnir and went off to find Odin…
With his hair flowing he skipped breakfast and past startled maids, his face full of concentration. He needed to find Odin. He past his mothers chamber "Mother…" he was about to enter when he heard sobbing. He retained himself and heard her muffled pleads for Loki to return. Somehow he doubted his father would be exposed to such 'emotion' so as much as much as he regretted it he walked on. Were would he be? Thor considered carefully then headed off for the library. He could already hear Odin's muttering as he approached the entrance no doubts hidden behind some sorcery book.
Just like Loki… No he couldn't think like that he must find a way to talk to Odin. So Thor paced up and down the library entrance thinking about how to approach his father.
His hands wouldn't keep still. They gripped then put down mjolnir on the marble floor, then they locked around the handle but quickly withdraw as the cool metal seeped away all his warmth.
Why is he so scared to confront his father? No he's not scared he's just… Thor sighed; he needs to talk to Odin about Loki…
Loki, Thor's mind raced with images of his long missed brother, that time when he had put mjolnir on Loki while he slept so that in the morning he just yelled and squirmed. Tears began to swim in Thor's blue eyes as the memory speeded throughout his body. But he wiped them away with the sleeve of his tunic and tried to focus on the task at hand. But he suddenly caught sight of an elegant vase of beautiful red and green flowers. And before he knew it his mind swam with more memories. Like the time Loki had enchanted huge flowers to stay forever in their place in Thor's hair as revenge for the hammer incident. Thor had then taken a rather embarrassing trip to Odin to release them, as Volstagg, Fandral and Loki wouldn't stop sniggering during training…
The very thoughts of him stung deep in his heart and he knew he must pluck up the courage and talk to his father. To save Loki, but from what exactly he did not know. And now he was just standing there like an idiot, not able to enter and talk to Odin just as he wasn't able to keep Loki safe.
He felt ashamed, if only he had his brother's silver tongue… A fresh sear impaled his chest like the staff did in his dream as his emotions turned into chaos. It was all he could take and he thrust mjolnir at the door and entered…
