Thor stared looking out the window, in deep thought. For many weeks now he had tried to find a way but he couldn't, and even if he did, how would he know where Loki was? For all he knew he could be anywhere in the world, and it would take him forever to find him. He didn't sleep, or barely ate and all his thoughts rested on Loki.

Thor caught a glimpse of Heimdall, he stood there like he always did. Thor strode towards him with the Mjolnir in his right hand. Thor cleared his throat as he was now standing by his side. ''Have you had any luck, Heimdall?"

"Just as before, nothing,'' he admitted. Thor looked down, it was the answer he had expected. ''Of course,'' said Thor. ''Why do you want to find him, if I may ask? He's done so much damage, why not let him be?'' asked Heimdall. ''Because inspite of that, he is my brother even though we don't share the same blood, we grew up as brothers, we played and fought together. And I know that if he did this damage, he will strike again. And it will be worse.'' Heimdall nodded and Thor turned away, walking back inside.

Morgana, standing in her room lit up a candle. She stared at it and was determined to control her powers. She stepped 2 inches from it and focused. It began to get bigger and she could her heart beat hard in her chest, and then she focused even more, then it got normal again and just as she thought she had gained control, the candle spread out and it started lighting her curtain on fire. ''NO!'' she yelled, scared. She tried to focus again but the fire spread even more. ''Help,'' she called. ''It's on fire! Help,'' she cried.


Loki, who had been walking by bursted through the doors. He was shocked to see a scared Morgana and a curtain that was on fire. ''I'll be right back!'' he said as he ran out the door, a moment later he came with two buckets in each hand, filled with water and splased them on to the curtains, and then they were no longer on fire. He rubbed his forehead, sweaty after the fire. ''What caused this?'' he said out of breath.

''How ... did this happen?'' Loki looked at her, stunned.

''What do you think?'' she asked him. The look on his face told her he had realized what the cause was. ''Magic.'' Morgana nodded.

''You are lucky, it was me. You could have been caught.''

''I know, I know,'' she said. ''I'll be more careful next time.''

''What were you doing practicing magic?''

''I wanted to control it, I guess I'm not ready.''

''It just takes time, in time... you will..'' he stepped towards her and reached out to touch her shoulder but immediately, she flinched. ''In time, there will be nothing. And you Loki, will say nothing.'' Morgana just wanted to gain control, to stop it. To ignore it, so she could continue living on normally, without fearing that if Uther found out, that he would execute her.

''Morgana. You have to understand that ... ''

''Understand what? You don't understand,'' she interrupted.

''Morgana ...''

''Loki, please leave. I want to be left alone.'' Loki nodded, knowing that arguing with her would do no good. She wasn't going to listen, unless... no he couldn't. He couldn't possibly tell her what he was or who he was. He shook his head, turned around and left her chambers, knowing that she had watched him leave. She wanted him to understand, and wanted him to help her, but he couldn't. No one could help her, not even she could help herself. Morgana put down the curtains and threw them away.


It was a day later. Merlin sat in his room, looking through the pages of the norse gods. He read more about Loki and the more he knew, the more he had gotten scared. If Loki was so dangerous, and what Merlin thought was true, what would he do? What could he possibly do to Camelot. He swallowed a lump in his throat, not wanting to think about it. A door slammed shut. Suddenly he heard footsteps and noticed that Loki walked by his room. Merlin eyed him suspiciously.

''What are you reading?'' he asked Merlin who faked a smile. ''Oh, just reading stories.'' Loki nodded, barely smiling and disappeared out of Merlin's sight. Loki sat on the edge of his bed, with his hands covering his face. He was in deep thought, and Merlin could tell as he was watching him, making sure he wouldn't be caught. He knew that he was up to something, and he knew that he had to find out what it was.

One the other hand, he was caught the minute the door opened. Merlin found Gaius walking through the doors and he stopped in his tracks as he noticed Merlin lurking on Loki. Merlin swallowed in fear and as Loki was about to look to see what Gaius was staring at, Merlin rushed back into his room, to hide the fact that he had been spying on Loki. He sighed in relief when he realized that he had managed to do that. He heard Gaius talking to Loki about some chores, and he knew that Loki hadn't found out, but Gaius probably had his suspicions of Merlin. Loki said something to Gaius and left. Merlin came from his room and walked towards Gaius. ''So, do you care to explain what you were doing when I arrived?'' asked Gaius.

''I was just ... '' he mumbled and Gaius looked at him as he waited impatiently for an answer. ''well?'' he folded his arms.

''He's strange. Everything about him his strange.''

''He's not from here.''

''So? He's still strange. Everything he does is strange. I found this book ...'' Merlin ran into his room and brought the book back for Gaius and showed him the page of Loki. ''This, is Loki. A god. He's just like this Loki. He came out of nowhere, he came from Asgard. My mother told me the stories, and they were true.''

''Merlin, this is not true. You have to let this go. His parents, they were probably fond of the norse gods. So they named him after one of them. That is the explanation.''

Merlin shook his head. ''No, why would someone name their son after the god of mischief? He's real, and Loki is him. I am going to prove it to you until you believe me, what he might do, might cause the destruction of Camelot. He nearly destroyed Asgard. Why shouldn't he do the very same thing here?''


Loki walked through the halls, with a small bottle in his hand. Gaius had sent him to deliver Morgana her sleeping medicine, and he was nervous. He hadn't spoken to her since their encounter yesterday, since he had saved her from the fire before it got out of hand. Her door was half open and she sat by her beauty table, brushing her hair. Gwen had tidied her bed and noticed Loki standing in the doorway.

''I have finished, if there is anything else, you may call me my lady.'' Morgana continued brushing her hair without turning around or to look at Gwen. '' Yes. That is all Gwen, thank you.'' Gwen nodded and smiled as she passed Loki in the doorway. He made a small knock on Morgana's door and she quickly turned around to face him. As soon as she saw him standing there, she rose up from her chair, putting the hairbrush away. ''Loki,'' she said out loud. He could tell that she was nervous as well, their encounter hadn't ended on the best of terms yesterday.

''I came to deliver you this.'' He showed her the small object that he was holding in her hands. ''for your sleep, hopefully it will help with your nightmares.'' he walked further inside and put it on her night stand. He bowed before her. ''If that is all, I will leave.'' Loki strode towards the door but the sound of her voice stopped him from leaving.

''Loki,'' she initiated. ''I realized I never thanked you. You saved my life yesterday, I was rude and I didn't even thank you.''
Loki laughed. ''Well, what is a king without a ward anyway?'' he teased making her giggle. ''But I am serious. Thank you, I would probably be dead by now if it weren't for you.'' Loki nodded, smiling warmly at her.

''I see you got rid of the curtains,'' he said as he looked at the window. ''Yes,'' she said. ''They were kind of ugly after all ... '' she mumbled as she examined the new curtains. She turned her head towards him noticing he was staring at her intensely and it made her blush. Abruptly, he paced towards her, so close that their faces nearly touched. ''Loki, I'm trying to figure this all out. Who I am, and I want to share it with you, it's just hard considering the circumstances.''

''It's all right, Morgana.'' He allowed himself to touch her cheek and he gently started to stroke it. ''You are special, Morgana. Remember that.'' She stared into his deep green eyes, frozen. She wondered what his next move was. Would it be a kiss, or a hug? Morgana came to find out that he only smiled and left her chambers. Surprisingly, she had found herself smiling.

Loki smiled as well, he found that he was finally reaching out to her. Success, he thought. He stopped in his tracks as he had seen something that seemed to be Morgana's maid, Guinevere or Gwen as Morgana referred her to. With her, he saw what seemed to be prince Arthur. They seemed to be awfully close to each other, and having a serious conversation. He shook his head and walked away, his thoughts now only focusing on Morgana.


Yes, short I know. But this is slowly moving forward, and I have many plans. Keep reading ;)
