For the blog Imagine Loki on Tumblr. Imagine that after Loki killed Baldr, Odin decided that the only way to punish Loki was to take away what he loved most. Odin robbed her of her Asgardian traits, like life-span etc., and turned her into a mere mortal and banished her to Midgard. She would be born to a normal Midgardian family and would grow up amongst them, much to Loki's disgust.

She will live a normal human life until she ages 22 Midgardian years, the equivalent of her previous age in Asgardian years. Loki must live 22 painful years without his love, watching her grow up, not knowing him and fall for other Midgardians. One day, he has enough and decides to find a way to restore her memories, but can it be that simple?

"Oh come on, it was only a bit of fun! I didn't really expect it would kill him!" Loki stood before Odin and the rest of the court bound in chains.

"Did you not trick Frigga into telling you the one and only thing in the universe that didn't swear to her not to harm Baldr?" Odin asked, his eye flashing angrily.

"It was just a damn sprig of mistletoe!" Loki laughed, "A fucking blind man threw it!"

"I should have known better than to listen to him." Hodur hung his head sadly, sitting beside Odin and Thor.

Loki looked around at each face in turn, amused, they weren't really going to punish him. Not really, he had done worse things than this and Odin had always gotten him out of any real trouble. He really didn't think it would work, he remembered looking at the small piece of shrub in his hand, thinking of where he found it on Midgard. Although if he had to admit it, he really hated Baldr. The great Baldr loved by everyone everywhere; it was disgusting really.

There was quiet sobbing mixed with sniffles to his left, but he couldn't bring himself to look at his wife, Sigyn. After all, there is no reason for tears. Odin would just give him a stern talking too and that would be that.

"Not only did your trick kill my son, but my daughter-in-law, did you not hear when she looked upon him for the last time she dropped dead of a broken heart?"

"Isn't that a little dramatic?"

There were stunned gasps all around him.

Maybe you went a bit far there, a small voice in his head quietly.

"You truly show no remorse for what you have done then?" Odin asked, looking down at Loki.

"I really didn't think anything would happen," Loki replied as sincerely as possible.

"Very well then. Bring her here." Odin motioned to the guards.

Her?

"What are you doing?" Sigyn's startled voice made Loki's head whip around, "Let me go!"

"What are you doing to her?" Loki asked, trying to keep the fear out of his voice.

"I have let you go without punishment for too long," Odin said grimly, "Although you pretend otherwise, other than your tricks, all the realms know of your love for this girl. Many showed at your wedding just to see Loki the Trickster God be wed. I don't think any punishment to you, yourself would carry such a weight as this."

"Don't you touch her." Loki snarled.

"Loki?" Sigyn tried to turn to see Loki, but the guards held her firmly in place before Odin.

"Leave her alone!"

Odin caressed her forehead while muttering, soon Sigyn's struggles against the guards became feeble.

"Where am I? What is this?!" Sigyn screamed as Odin continued.

"What are you doing to her?" Loki screamed.

Odin muttered a final spell before Sigyn stilled and fell to the floor.

"Release him," Odin said to the guards holding Loki's chains. Once free he ran to where Sigyn lay.

"Shes dead." He knew it as soon as his hands touched her, her skin had already cooled.

"Yes."

Loki let out a roar of rage and despair as he held his wife if anyone shed a tear, it was for Sigyn and Sigyn alone.

"She will be reborn," Odin said as he turned to sit on his throne.

"What?"

"She will be reborn on Midgard as a mortal, where she will live out a mortal's life, and you Loki, will watch as she is born, grows old, and dies. All without knowing who she really is, and who you are. She may fall in love, she may birth another man's children. And you will see it all."

Loki found he did not have a voice as he stared wide eyed at Odin, he was shaking so violently his muscles ached. He slowly laid Sigyn's empty shell back onto the stone floor, and stood slowly.

Without another sound, he swept from the room.

Heimdal had already known, of course, of what happened before Loki had even reached him at the rainbow bridge.

"What do you wish to see?" He asked as Loki stood beside him.

"I want to see my wife."

"Her soul is still traveling to Midgard, once there it will find a vessel to fill and Sigyn will be reborn."

Loki made a noise of disgust and waited.

A realm away on Earth the woman named Brigitte went into labor.
