CHAPTER TEN:

Sirena and Loki spent the better part of an hour swimming in the lake. They didn't talk anymore of family troubles; they spoke of anything other than that.

"So, have you finished that book yet?" Loki asked, slowly bobbing about to keep himself afloat. Sirena simply floated on her back, moving her hands beneath the water.

"Indeed I have," Sirena said, looking at the clouds "It was quite interesting, I learnt quite a lot of new things about Midgard. Did you know that they have many different religions? We have fallen into the category of 'mythology'," Sirena laughed "If only they knew we were real, I wonder what they would think," She said. Loki chuckled.

"They aren't a realm worth worrying about," He said. Sirena moved about so that she was facing Loki, they were both now using their arms and legs to stay afloat.

"They are an intriguing race, Midgardians are constantly changing; they way they live, what they wear, it is very interesting," Sirena said "I would love to go to Midgard," She said, falling back into the water.

"Why would you want to go to such a lowly realm?" Loki asked.

"Because I have always had a fascination with Midgard and I want to see what it is like there. They have so much stuff that we don't, what they have invented is amazing! Sometimes I don't see why we live the way they do; we claim to be more advanced realms, yet all the things humans have invented is mind blowing!" Sirena said.

"We ARE more advanced than Midgard, they haven't even figured out magic yet," Loki scoffed.

"They may not have figured out magic, but they have this thing called science, which is like magic but in a more logical sense. Even the way they dress seems a lot more advanced than the way we do," Sirena sighed.

"You haven't been to Midgard before have you? The way some of their women dress is horrendous, they wear pants," Loki spat.

"Perhaps it keeps them warmer, I would certainly opt to wear pants in the winter seasons," Sirena shrugged. Loki simply shook his head.

"The way they travel around their cities is also quite strange, they use this thing called a car," Sirena said.

"Yes, and it is killing their planet," Loki said. Sirena decided to get out of the lake.

She sat on the sand for a few minutes before Loki came out.

"What is your problem with Midgard?" She asked, not rudely, nor disgusted, purely curious.

"I just think they are a weak race, greatly inferior to us," Loki shrugged.

"Because they are mortal? That is a rather mean judgement, they can't help what they are," Sirena said "Sure they may dress different to us, sure they might have different morals and ways of living than us, but that is purely because they are not us, they have no idea that we immortals even exist, we are nothing but mythology to them," Sirena said. Loki hated to admit she had a fairly good point.

Sirena however, wasn't finished with her rant.

"What about our gods? What is they think we are a weak race, dress strange and have stupid morals? We cannot be so quick to judge an entire race, every Midgardian is different and they all have different beliefs and ways of living," Sirena said. She stood up so that she was standing directly in front of Loki.

"We should envy the mortals, do you know why?" She asked. Loki just looked at her, his expression un-readable. Sirena continued.

"We should envy them because they are mortal, because any moment might be their last, everything is more beautiful to them because they are doomed, and they will never be here again," She said, picking up her dress and pulling it over her damp body.

Loki was lost for words. He didn't know how to respond to what Sirena had said because it was true. Loki didn't want to admit it though; otherwise he would seem like the weak one. Instead he remained silent.

"No response? I thought you might have some other problems with the mortals," Sirena said, annoyed at him for thinking so lowly of a race that have nothing low about them. No one is perfect.

Loki tightened his jaw and grabbed hold of Sirena's arms, startling her. He looked directly into her sweet blue eyes.

"As true as your words may be, I will not admit to them, my morals lie with believing mortals are inferior and weak; I will not be persuaded to think otherwise," He said. And before Sirena could come up with a reply, he kissed her. Sirena froze; she hadn't kissed Loki aside from one quick peck on their wedding day to seal their vows. This kiss was much deeper than a small peck; it was much more passionate and gratifying.

Loki must have sensed Sirena's lack of response because he pulled away from her. He remained where he stood but averted his gaze. Sirena just stared at him dumbfounded, mouth agape.

Loki mustered all the strength he had to look back up at her face.

"I'm sorry, I-" Sirena cut him off by grabbing the back of his neck and crushing his lips to hers.
