'Look, I'll let you go, but you're gonna have to stay away, okay? If you stay, you'll be found by another Trylle tracker, and promptly shot. Vittra aren't the only ones with guns.' Finn yelled. 'Look! I have a reason to be here, okay?' Loki yelled back angrily.
'Right' Tove Kroner said, as he stepped past Finn. 'Would you like to tell us your reason then?'
'How long have you been here Tove?' Finn asked, a hint of fear in his voice. 'Oh, he just got here' Loki said boredly. 'What?' He asked innocently. 'I'm perceptive'. 'Why are you here?' said Tove. 'I want amnesty' Loki muttered. 'You better come to the palace' Tove sighed. 'It's Elora's decision, she's the queen.' And that's how Loki ended up walking with heavy heart and not much hope to the palace, between Finn and Tove.
When they reached the wall, the Trylle men turned to go the long way, but Loki had a much simpler way of getting in. 'You know you can just jump the wall right? Or Tove can do that levitation thing for you and I can jump it.' Finn asked him to try with an evil smirk, so Loki braced himself and jumped. Landing neatly beside a bed of brightly coloured roses on the other side of the high brick wall, he gave a small smirk of his own and turned to look at the palace.
Apparently, the other two had decided to go the other, normal way, so Loki began walking towards the amazing buildings of Trylle society. He heard footsteps in the grass and a soft hum came through the trees, accompanied by a beautiful singing voice. 'You're an amazing singer, Rhiannon!' Came a young woman's voice when the music stopped. 'You're much better Wendy. Let's try a different type of music, how about… Rock?' Said another woman, Rhiannon, Loki supposed.
He was about to leave but then he realised… Wendy. That Rhiannon girl had called the other Wendy! There was no other Trylle with the name Wendy, there had been much talk about the anger of the clans throughout the area because of Wendy wanting to keep her changeling name. Loki quietly made his way through the trees where he could here Wendy and Rhiannon debating about what song to try. 'No screaming, I can't do that.' Rhiannon said. 'But screaming is fun! We won't do real screamo, just a tiny, tiny bit.' Wendy wheedled. 'Please…' 'Okay…' Rhiannon muttered. 'But this is the last one!' 'Shut up for a minute Rhiannon, I can hear someone coming.' Wendy said urgently.
Loki cautiously stepped out of the shadow of the trees and Wendy gasped. 'What are you doing here?' 'To see you, and get amnesty, of course.' Loki said with a confident grin. 'How long-' 'Have I been here? Not too long, just enough time to hear you debating about screamo. I didn't think you were into that sort of thing, Wendy.' Wendy promptly blushed pink. 'This is Rhiannon by the way. Rhiannon, this is Loki.' 'Yup, I figured that out from the TEN THOUSAND TIMES YOU'VE DESCRIBED HIM!' Rhiannon yelled, and then grinned to her friend. 'Don't. Even. Think. About. It.' Wendy growled to Loki through gritted teeth, and Rhiannon pulled her hair playfully.
After a few minutes of conversation Rhiannon decided to threaten Loki with 'If you even think about mentioning this singing stuff to anyone, I'll kick your ass around the block, and watch you bleed from places where no-one should bleed. I'll make sure you regret it. I'm good at that stuff.' 'Wow, you actually make that sound painful, but what can you really do?' 'I wouldn't do that if I were you.' Wendy muttered. Rhiannon's roundhouse kick hit him right in the temple and he yelped and took a step back. 'Ouch!' He cried. 'What was that for?' 'You asked.' She answered with a shrug.
'Now, I'm guessing it's kind of illegal for me to be here right now, so I need to go and hopefully get amnesty.' Loki said, a tinge of sadness in his voice. 'Yeah, but we'll help you out. Elora will listen to me sometimes, and if she doesn't I can always knock a few chandeliers with my mind to annoy her.' Wendy laughed, and Loki almost fainted. 'You better go, I'm pretty sure Tove and Finn are looking for you.' Rhiannon said worriedly. 'If Finn finds me out here, he'll tell my father, who will promptly kill me. Come to my funeral.' 'See you around… maybe.' Loki said and winked, before turning and walking towards the palace.
