Loki walked away from the gatekeeper and followed a group of guards down the colorful bridge.
"Tell me more about this visitor," Loki asked as he strutted beside the guard, "Is she vicious? Is she menacing?" The guards seemed to ignore Loki's questioning. They were not sure how to even answer. They had captured her easy enough so how could they claim her to be frightening? She was asleep when they found her and when they brought her in they couldn't figure out where she had came from or what she was.
Loki stopped walking and the guards stopped and turned to face him.
Putting his hands on one of the guards shoulders he asked, "Why is she worth my time?" Instead of his usual overbearing tone Loki seemed serious and generally interested.
"She looks like she could be Asgardian or Human, but she is neither," the guard looked puzzled as he continued, "But she is overwhelmingly powerful. If she was not asleep when we found her we would not have been able to bring her in."
Loki smiled and nodded.
Loki turned around about to continue walking.
"And Sir, she also had this," One of the guards held up and earring. Loki cleared his throat looking back. He was shocked at the familiar piece of jewelry: it was his mothers.
"Shit," She exclaimed after checking her surroundings. This was definitely not part of the plan, if there really was a plan. Urgently she patted herself down, "Dang it, it's not here," she exclaimed as she realized the piece that guided her hear was gone.
"Good thing I have two ears," she laughed as she remembered there were two pieces to the set. Grabbing the other earring off her ear, she stood up completely. It was just a box. There where magic looking, clear walls. Other prisoners could be seen around. They were so loud.
"Well I am definitely inside Asgard. Now what Frigga?" she asked staring down at the earring, "Nothing? No advice. Not gonna glow for me anymore?" Sighing she put the earring back on.
"Great! I am completely useless!" She plopped back down on the floor and lay down.
As a door creaked open all the prisoners grew silent and approached the lining of their cell. Loki lead the guards through the door; he was now overly concerned about this new guest. Those earrings were on his mother's body when she burned. Odin wouldn't have taken them off. The new King didn't bother stopping at the container, he opened the cell and pulled the girl out.
"Sir," one of the guards warned. Loki glances at him but the girl was already out so it was too late anyway.
"Your name?" Loki asked, unconcerned with the treat she posed.
"I am Ida," She answered. Frigga if your son kills me I am gonna die, Ida thought to herself, realizing the obviousness in the statement. She knew she was powerful here in this world but she didn't want to hurt Frigga's son: she'd let him kill her if it came to it.
"Well Ida," Loki said grabbing hold of her arm then turning to the guards, "Take her to my chambers, I will talk to her in private."
The guard's expression showed his concern but like the other guards and citizens he barely took actions to assure the King's safety. Loki took note of it though, how no one would harm him but none prevented harm from coming to him. If he were to die of his own stupidity they would let it happen.
Ida walked along willingly. She didn't seem much of a threat. Loki stayed behind watching them go and fondling the earring in his hands. If his mother gave this to her she had to be of some importance.
