That night, a thick fog set over the hills of Asgard. Such gloomy weather was not common. It stirred the farmers and peasants alittle. However, one could not wish for perfect weather all the time. They figured that if anything, the dewy wetness created by the fog would help their plants and grains. Some children crept out of their beds to sneek and play out, only to be called by furious parents back inside. It was late. But the kids ever protested, seeming to see something that their elders could not.

A black, armed carriage. All the youngin's were raving about it. How it was traveling towards the kingdom. The parents and old's scoffed, refusing to believe such nonsense. Thinking that the kids were just playing old tricks again, they forced each and every one of them back inside, threatening more chores if they did not shut their mouths.

But indeed. What the children saw was as real as Odin and Asgard. It was charmed so no real threat (adults) could see it. Such protection was only used on the most secrets of secrets.

Loki was on his way back. Slowly. Being chained into the carriage for the whole, long, tedious way.


Tony and Clint awoke first to awful hangovers. And already being use to pamper and servants, they called for them. Asking for painkillers and water… something to eat. Anything.

The morning maids brought them what they wanted, sighing as Tony made witty comments about how their outfits didn't flatter their beautiful figures. They were already warned of the Playboy's tactics, and paid him no mind. Clinton apologized to them on Tony's behalf.

Breakfast was set before them in very dim lighting.

"Thankyou Thankyou." Clint mumbled, drinking his charmed water. The maids said the painkillers would take effect once the glass was finished.

The breakfast seemed to be mostly omelet looking dishes and pastries filled with fresh jelly. Better than any toaster strudel or burnt toast that Tony made.

"What are in these?" The archer asked, picking at a piece of his egg looking dish.

"They're common breakfast."

"No I mean.. what is in them?"

"Fresh hard shell eggs of the swans and vegetables from our finest fields."

So basically, an omelet. But with Swan eggs.

"It's very good."

The maids smiled and asked if anything else was needed- but before the two could answer, a larger, more important looking castle tender barged in, grabbing the young maids hands and apologizing to the masters for this. But it needed to be done.

Tony tilted his booming head and grunted, "Weird."

"Yeah…" Clint agreed, munching on his apple pie flavored muffin thing.

"I'll try with them again later," Tony sang, drinking his water.

Clinton rolled his eyes as their normal little hangover morning continued.


The maidens outside in the hallway were sent home along with other confused servents. It seemed something big was coming? Or going…? Even when they started to talk about it outside of the castle, The guards hushed them. Threatening if they did not leave swiftly that they'd burn their homes in the hills and cities.

What had brought such a huff in the castle?

Only the two top guards, Maid, and Healers knew. So only they were allowed to stay.

Frigga and Odin came out and about during the sunset, being greeted by each and every one of them.

Loki was arriving earlier then expected. Frigga cursed under her normal put together self. Franticly making her air into braids and curls as they usually were. She had everything planned perfectly. She'd tell Thor to take his friends to the stables and ride in the forests and parks they had to offer. Thor would agree and take them at once breakfast and morning leisure was over. They'd be out all day, leaving the two parents to deal with what was coming.

But Loki was arriving NOW… Now… in the morning. The sun was not even fully up.

Odin tried to calm his wife, "Please, Frigga, do not look so flustered. Your hair is fine.. please, Look at me."

Frigga looked, some tears wanting to already get out. They hadn't even seen Loki yet and the fragile All Mother was wheeping.

"My wife…"

"I am afraid."

"I know."

They stopped in the middle of the hallway, requesting a moment of privacy from the chosen few who were to stay. To help…

Once alone, Frigga broke down in tears while Odin hushed her. Today was going to be a long day…

Once the All Mother's cries were silent, he called for a main guard, declaring that Thor be awakened along with the others. To be taken to the parks and given a tour.

Now.

The guard bowed and passed along the news. A great regret already hit the castle when they realized all the servents and maidens were gone. This command would take a while to do.

The chief Maid took the task in stride, going to each door of the castle to awake the warriors and friends of Thor. Announcing they had a special treat for all of them. Yes, she got a few swears from a tired bunch, but it was handled. She wasn't the chief Maiden for nothing.

Soon- everyone was eating a jelly filled pastry as they left the castle. All dressed into casual clothes (or what was considered casual by Asgard's satndards.) and led to the stables at once. Thor was of course leading them. Talking about how he used to sneak out and ride all day when given the chance during his youth.

None found it as amusing as they would when fully awake though.


Frigga and Odin waited within the private gardens. Only few knew these bushes of flowers and herbs existence. A perfect place to reunite themselves with their son.

In the distance you could see the carriage emerging from its spell. Brown plain horses carrying the prince back to Asgard. Though this wasn't a traditional escort. There were no windows, no indication of mercy towards the arriving son of Odin. He was hidden- trapped in a black box. No doubtly chained and gagged as he was when taken to the mountains in the first place.

Frigga and Odin both held their breath as the carriage came to a holt.


LOL CLIFFHANGER.

I do promise that we'll see our beloved in the next chapter though.
