Day 10: Snowed In
The day was warm, and the princes of Asgard were both training. Thor, with his sword, and Loki with his magic. He had found an old spell book recently, and one of the spells, one that could create vortexes of ice, had caught his attention. It would be a powerful spell if he could master it, so as the sound of sword clashed against shield on the other side of the training field, Loki was trying to create the vortex of ice.
He didn't miss the looks he got for practicing magic. It was considered a woman's skill. But he would show them by becoming the most powerful sorcerer in the nine by mastering spells like this one. So he was trying hard to master it faster than anyone else should be able to, even the experienced sorceresses on Asgard.
Loki could feel the magic beneath his skin churning as he closed his eyes in concentration. The feeling of magic was unlike any other and it constantly shifted and changed. As he felt it getting stronger, the spell starting to come forth as ice began to form and spin in front of him, he pushed himself further, forcing himself to summon more energy into the spell.
Then suddenly the magic that had been building up underneath his fingertips, the small spinning ice in front of him exploded. Loki was thrown back from the blast and into the ground with a hard thump, and he looked up with widening eyes as the vortex grew to huge proportions and went out of control.
Everyone dropped what they were doing as the the vortex spun faster and grew larger and larger, until it reached into the sky beyond the clouds. Loki scrambled to his feet and tried to reel it in, but the spell was out of control, his magic unstable and unable to stop what he had started. The vortex then exploded outward.
Loki shielded his eyes with his forearm as ice and snow swirled around him. The vortex was gone but the spell wasn't dissipating, in fact it was growing more out of control by the second. "Loki! Make it stop!" Thor called as he tried to reach his brother. The winds picked up until it felt like ice biting at the skin with each gust blowing past them.
"I'm trying!" Loki called back, but he couldn't bring it to a stop. He didn't have control of it. It had turned into an outright blizzard right before his eyes.
When they were unable to bring it to a stop, since only the one that cast the spell could stop it -even the Allfather had no control of it- the people of Asgard quickly had to retreat into the warmth of their homes. The vortex had turned into a blizzard, covering the capital in layers and layers of deep, thick snow. The wind was biting like fangs of ice.
Loki and Thor stood beside each other, staring out one of the windows as the snow continued to pile up by the hour. A dark gray cloud hovered above the capital of the golden realm and continued to spill forth snow, a thick haze of snow fall made it nearly impossible to see three feet in front of oneself.
Thor turned to look at his younger brother and huffed. "You could not have been practicing a water spell instead? Or perhaps fire?" He grunted out.
The raven haired prince looked at his big brother and scowled. "I would rather be in a blizzard than drown or burn alive, thank you very much." He said, folding his arms and eyeing the snow outside. "It's summer. Surely the snow will melt."
"It has to stop snowing first." Thor said flatly, before he pointed outside. "And as cold as that wind is the snow will never melt."
"I'm sorry, when did you become an expert in weather?" Loki snapped, glaring at the older of the two.
"Since my little brother caused a blizzard in the middle of summer." Thor replied with a snort and looked back outside. "Now which one of us is the expert?"
Loki grumbled under his breath and turned, walking away from the window to return to his chambers in the hopes he could bring this blasted snowstorm to a halt before the people of Asgard came after him with pitchforks.
The blizzard didn't stop for a week. Loki finally managed to bring it to a stop, but everyone ended up being snowed in well until late fall, when winter was just beginning. At the very least, Loki enjoyed the weather. And no one in the history of Asgard or any other realm had created a blizzard quite like he had.
Whenever someone made a comment about his choice in practicing magic, he just had to threaten them with a blizzard. Silenced them every time.
