I arrived in a golden hallway lit with torches. It was strange, because only a moment ago I was in my bedroom falling asleep. I looked around. The only things on the walls were torches. There were a couple of doors down the hall from me, so I decided to go into one of them.
The first door was locked, so I tried the one a bit further down.
Unlocked
I thought, as the nob turned. Inside was a massive bedroom, with a tall ceiling and large bed with a canopy. I closed the door behind myself and looked around; there was a table with a mirror above it, a wardrobe, and many more things that I cannot describe, yet.
From the hallway I heard footsteps.
Need to hide, need to hide
There was no place to go. The door opened quickly and a raven haired man with a green cloak and eyes to match entered the room. He noticed me immediately and with swift movements he grasped my throat and pinned me against the wall.
"Who are you?" the man asked viciously.
"Valery" I answered quickly.
"How did you get into my chambers? There is a shield over it."
"I just walked in through the door." At this point I was gasping for breath; he took notice and loosened his grip on my throat.
"Where are you from? You're obviously not from Asgard", this he said with distain as he looked at my flower pajamas.
"Asgard…? Who are you?"
"You ignorant quim, I am Loki of Asgard. No wonder you were fool enough to enter my chambers." With this he released his grip on me, and my knees buckled.
"I apologize, my lord, I was unaware that this was your chamber, forgive me." I was shivering with so many emotions: confusion, fear, excitement.
"humph…Where are you from?" he asked.
Remember .Valery, what do the Norse gods call earth? "Midgard"
"Then, how did you get to Asgard? No one has used the portal to Midgard in weeks."
I looked up at him," Do you only use the known portals to other realms?"
A smirk grew on Loki's face," You amuse me." The god began to walk toward the mirror as he spoke. "So, how did you get to Asgard?"
"I don't know. I just appeared here."
"What did it feel like?"
"What did what feel like, appearing here?" I stood up.
"Yes." He began to wash his face in a bowl on the table.
"Like waking up when you were sleep walking."
"Interesting" He dried his face.
"If I may, lord Loki" I began, "Why don't you look more like the old depictions of yourself?"
"Because that is what you expect to see." He was now walking toward me.
"What?"
"I am the god of illusions and when I noticed you I gave you what you were expecting. I do think you have very interesting expectation of me." He said looking at the form he chose.
"Why did you change for me?"
"You ask an awful lot of questions."
"I enjoy learning."
He was now right in front of me now, he was much taller than me and caused fear to develop in my gut, "What is it that makes you frightened?"
"You" I said bluntly
"Good"
