- Brother! – called Thor, walking through the corridor – Brother!
He knocked at the chamber's door and waited. No one answered, so he decided to open it.
He entered the chamber at saw his brother lying on the bed, with a book by his side. He was asleep. Thor reached the bed and called Loki.
- Brother, wake up. Loki…
Loki opened his eyes, sleepy and glanced at his brother.
- What is it?
- I need you. Heimdall saw Jane in a great danger. Come with me, let's save her together.
Loki rose from the bed and smiled.
- Want my help, brother? Why?
- Loki, you are my brother. We work together and you are a great magician. I may need your talents.
- Oh, I see… my talents. When do we leave? – Loki asked.
- Now.
- Let me dress and prepare my things; I'll get you in a minute, by the Bifrost.
Thor left the chamber, leaving his brother alone. Loki watched the door close and glanced at a mirror.
- My talents… my magic… only for my talents, oh Thor.
He dressed and grabbed some daggers, fastened them on his belt, and left his chamber.
Minutes later he was with Thor, on the Bifrost.
- What's going on, brother? – Loki asked.
- Heimdall saw Jane in danger. Some kind of witchcraft, he said. Someone or something is hunting her.
- Great, so there we go, to Midgard, fight for your princess.
- Yes, brother, there we go.
They entered the observatory. Heimdall was waiting.
- To Midgard. – Thor said and Heimdall opened the gate.
The two brothers were transported to Midgard, where they found themselves in London.
- So, here we are. London now. – Loki said, looking at London Bridge.
Thor looked around and saw Jane's car. Darcy was there.
- Darcy! – He called, running to her.
Darcy saw them, recognizing Thor immediately.
- Thor! I'm so glad to find you. We're looking for you, Thor. We need you. – She glanced at Loki – Who is he?
- My brother, Loki. Loki, this is Darcy, Jane's friend.
Loki smiled at her, with his sexy and dashing smile.
- Greetings, Miss Darcy.
- Miss Darcy? I didn't know Asgardians knew those terms!
Loki nodded, always smiling.
- Asgardians know everything, Miss Darcy. I'm pleased to meet you.
- So do I, Mr. Loki! – Her eyes shined.
- That's all very nice, but I know Jane is in danger. I need to see her, to know what's going on. – Thor said.
- Okay, let's go. – They walked to the car. Darcy drove it to their home.
Darcy started to talk about the events and they listened, carefully.
- Jane found a strange object on a market, in a little village, while we were traveling to find more stuff for our studies. The woman, who sold it, said it was a talisman with protective powers. She said it belonged to a very powerful woman, a witch from the Middle Ages. We thought "wow, a talisman from the Middle Ages in the 21st Century? Nop that cannot be…", but she bought it. I think it was because of its beauty. It his very beautiful… And, some days later, she discovered something on it. It was shinning and glowing… and we saw a shadow on the room, at the same time. I'm not lying, I swear. We don't know what is it, paranormal stuff or something. We are scientists, not witch finders!
Thor nodded, but was Loki who spoke.
- Those were powerful times for witches and warlocks. The Dark Ages of Midgard, before the hunting of the magic ones. Some called it Dark Ages, but for the magicians, those were The Days, Brilliant Days, when magic was alive, ruling Midgard. Women and Men, using those great powers. Some used it in a wrong way, of course… power can be good or evil… some used it for good. But they were killed the same way, when they came, the magic killers.
Thor nodded again.
- My brother is magician, he was some powers.
- I have powers; you wanted to say, brother. – Loki corrected Thor.
Darcy said:
- So you can help us, too. We arrived.
