I Turn to You
The Epilogue
Loki was pacing, and had been for the past 2 hours. The morning had started off so perfect, and had spiraled down quicker than Loki could blink his eyes. "Would you stop that?" Thor asked him from his place on Loki's bed.
"I can't stop until I come up with a reasonable solution to this dreadful problem!" Loki all but yelled with his hands threw high in the air.
Thor sighed and rose from the bed, leaving a crinkle in the silk green sheets. "Don't you dare try and stop me," Loki said stopping Thor from halting his current obsession.
"Pacing is not going to solve the problem brother," Thor said rubbing his hand across his face flustered.
Loki really wished Thor would contribute something other than concern for him. Apparently he was going to have to fix this on his own.
2 hours earlier
Loki lay in his bed with his arms behind his head. He wasn't hungry so he saw no reason to move and go to the dining hall. A rap at the door startled Loki from his current state of relaxation. "Come in," Loki said annoyed.
A tentative guard entered and stopped dutifully a few feet from Loki's bed. "My prince," the guard said, "I have bad news. Heimdall has reported a disturbing finding."
"What does this 'bad' news have to do with me?" Loki asked boredly.
"Apparently, without a known cause, Sigyn's spirit has somehow been transferred into Hel."
The world had stopped other than the rapid beating of Loki's anxious heart. "What did you say?"
The guard started repeating himself, but Loki shushed him, "I know what you said, but how is that possible?"
The guard swallowed nervously and replied, "Go and speak with your father."
Loki had pushed past the guard without further hesitation. He had stormed down the hall, with curious glances from everyone he passed. Loki threw open the throne room doors without knocking. Odin looked up with his one good eye and told the citizen standing at the foot of the throne to exit until a later time.
The man scurried passed Loki quickly with his eyes cast downward. "I am to assume that this is about Sigyn?" Odin said tiredly.
"You have assumed correctly," Loki stated.
"Son, I have no idea how her soul ended up in Hel. Heimdall saw her enter Valhalla the day she died. Then last night I felt a disturbance, and the gatekeeper noted that he witnessed Sigyn's soul falling to Hel."
Loki sank to his knees and tried to wrap his head around what his father had just informed him. It makes no sense Loki thought. People's souls didn't just fall from one place to another. Someone had to have taken her. What worried Loki the most was that Odin had no clue of how it happened either.
"What can we do to help her?" Loki asked.
Odin gave Loki a solid stare, "There is nothing we can do."
Loki automatically decided that that was not an acceptable answer. He was not going to voice that to his father though because the look Odin was giving him clearly said 'Don't do anything stupid and rash.'
Loki rose and acted contrite, "I understand father. It saddens me that Sigyn has suffered such a terrible fate after the fact that she suffered such a horrible death."
Odin nodded solemnly in agreement. "I will go and speak with Thor. Good day father," Loki said as sweetly as he could.
Present time
For what seemed like the billionth time, Loki said, "Thor I cannot just leave Sigyn's soul in Hel. She doesn't deserve that fate after she sacrificed herself for me."
"I agree, but what possibly can you do to alter that fate, Loki?" Thor asked exasperated.
Loki stopped pacing. The answer to his problem was obvious, "I am going to Hel to save her and bring her back to life."
Thor's jaw dropped, "What?!" Loki no one has ever gone to Hel and lived to tell the tale. You have lost your mind if you think I am going to let you enter the land of the damned."
Loki smiled, "That is exactly what I am going to do brother. Are you going to come with me or not?"
Thor sighed and pulled at his tousled blonde hair frustrated, "Yes, though this is by far going to be the stupidest thing we have ever done. Clearly there is no stopping you though, so if you are going to Hel, then so am I."
Loki gave his brother an appreciative look, and grinned determinedly, "When is the best time to start? I personally vote now."
The End!
A/N—So Loki is going to save Sigyn and find lots of dirty secrets in the sequel "Hel Hath No Fury."
