Reuniting

He granted my wish, gave me the Casket and promised that after finding Loki he would not imprison him. My mate was within reach again all these hopes gave me strength to walk Midgard's strange roads.

They laughed still and it was starting to get on my nerves, coming here was hard enough in my current weak state. With a roar I let free my magic. The Great Hall became icy many frozen to the marble floor, Odin himself had a bit of frost on his beard. The guards couldn't move towards me to defend their king. Finally there was silence.

- I came here not just to make a wish but to offer you a deal.

- Speak then!

- Odin Father of All I offer you peace with Jotunheim. As the betrothed of Loki and blood kin of Laufey I swear not to use the Casket against any of the nine realms. When I marry Loki, rightful heir to the Jotun throne he will swear the same!

Odin's eyes pierced right through my soul, searching for deceit but there was none to be found. He sighed then nodded.

- You may take the Casket with you, but know that your words are binding, breaking it means death, this I swear to you. Loki shall not enter Asgard for a thousand years as punishment for his crimes, I cannot sentence a future King to prison.

- I thank you Allfather, may this truce keep till Ragnarok comes.

And here I am finding myself in trouble yet again. I landed right beside a man called Fury. From all around weird weapons pointed at me, they were shouting at me to drop mine, but the Casket was inactive it's glow a faint blue.

- I am Lady Yven from Jothunheim I came with peace.

- Peace? Then what's that in your hands? - the eye patch wearing one asked.

- It helps me survive here in Midgard. - well I wasn't lying it did help keep me cold and icy.

As if Heimdall knew I landed where I shouldn't have I was teleported again. This time I found myself in a lavish place, around me many Midgardian danced and dined. Suddenly he came, he was right there in front of me in garbs worn by mortals. His black hair was longer, green orbs twinkle with laughter no more. In them I could only see madness.

Taming him will be hard, containing his magic will be even harder.

I stepped towards him, my back stiff with anticipation, the Casket came alive sensing it's true master nearby. Pity it will only serve me until Loki's mind clears. When his clothing changed into Asgardian ones I reacted on instinct. The Casket obeyed me sending out it's power to capture our target. From toe to neck he became covered in ice leaving him unable to move. I rushed to his side, touching his face, making sure that the Casket hadn't harmed him. The instant our skin touched both of us changed into our Jotun forms. Not wasting time or giving him any to escape I called out to Heimdall rather loudly.

- Take us back Heimdall!

- Let go of me wench or you'll regret ever being born.

- I only regret the day you were taken from me.

We were travelling then, back to our home, leaving behind Midgard and forgetting the crimes he committed there.

- Welcome home! Everyone is anxious to great you, Your Grace!

- Whatever are you taking about? Release me at last!

I touched the tips of my fingers to the ice keeping him capture. Not a moment later his hands were around my neck squeezing it tightly.

- And now tell me where you brought me, is it some punishment from Odin?

- This is your home, the place you were born. You are the rightful King and I am your mate, your Queen.

I encased him in my magic, showing him the little we spent together before being separated. I felt his core magic replying, crying out in joy and connecting to my own magic, we were one again, at least our souls found each other after all this time, I sense that his mind will be harder to change.

Frost Giants gathered around us, it wasn't common that the Bifrost opened here in our realm we were long forgotten by Asgard and separated from other realms of the nine.

- A mad and foolish plan you said but here you are alive and well, standing next to the Prince no less.

Lothar tried to hold a serious face but soon broke out in happy laughter, lot of our kin joined in, wishing the best for our future King. If only he received these wishes just as joyfully. The frown on his face was a tell tale sign of his displeasure.

- Lothar prepare the Royal Chambers, the Prince is tired and we would like to have some time to ourselves. - the suggestiveness in my tone made them laugh again, but thus time will allow Loki to calm down and for be to talk some sense into him.

- Your wish is my command Lady Yven.

A quick silencing spell and a little compulsion helped me to peacefully lead Loki towards our chambers, of course if looks could kill. He was glaring daggers at me.

- Don't give me that face Loki, we waited for so long to get our beloved Prince back. We lost you not long after you were born the devastation we felt upon realizing that you were gone. Your Mother the Queen fell ill of a broken heart, even her mate couldn't console her.

We arrived at our destination the maids were running around straightening up the unused chambers.

- You can leave now, there will be time to clean it all up tomorrow.

They left, leaving us alone again. How many times I've dreamed of this moment.

- I will lift the spells only if you promise not to cause trouble!

After a nod from him as confirmation I let him go, but I was still tensed for an attack just in case he tried anything.

- I have business on Midgard, by now I already tried to leave this realm but something is blocking me is it Heimdall or Odin?

- For some reason they had no trust in me to have enough power to keep you here so yes both of them are watching you. And so you know, we are bonded the wounds you inflict on me will appear on you also.

Deep blue and green fingerprints on his neck were becoming visible like I imagine they were on mine. I was lying saying that Odin still kept watch over him, they just used a handy spell so that he couldn't leave without me. If Loki knew he would drag me back to Midgard.

- Why would you want to rule a realm full of mortals when you have your throne here?

He was silent, giving no answer. Even if we were together how long will it take for him to accept that Jotuns weren't monsters.

- You have time before the crowning ceremony, I will talk with the council about how you need time to understand and learn our laws and such. It's a weak excuse but an excuse none the less.

In a moment of female frailty tears gathered in my eyes, tears of happiness or sorrow, who knows. Little crystalline drops trailed down my cheeks.

- If you're trying to sway me with tears I'm telling you it's not working.

- I suggest you rest, tomorrow will be a long day for you. - with that I left no longer having the power to ignore his hateful gaze when I longed for his love.
