The Girl With The Six Marks
Princess of Asgard
Chapter Four
Asgard Prison
The tall figure walks back and forth; as soon as Alyanna had entered the atmosphere, Loki felt the disturbance. He wondered what could possibly bring that little brat here to his home world. Although it's been two years since his imprisonment, Loki still felt bitterness towards his brother and the woman who stopped his plans of being the rightful ruler of a planet.
When the news broke out of the royal wedding being held tomorrow evening, Loki felt intense range. How could he not be invited to a royal wedding?! He was the Prince of Asgard! Prisoner or not, he had every right to be at the huge celebration.
"Excuse me guard," Loki calls out as the asgardian warrior passes by his chamber. The soldier stops and turns to him. "I demand to see my brother at once!"
The soldier remains emotionless. "Sorry your highness, but the prince is busy getting ready for his bachelor's party.
"Bachelor party!? I'm his brother! Shouldn't I be invited!?" Loki shouts in range.
The soldier scoffs and begins to walk away without answering him. Loki bangs on the glass in frustration before turning away in aggravation. If his brother wanted to be like this then fine, he can play games too. Although he was confined to this room and his physical form powerless, he was still able to project his mind to manipulate those he pleased. Of course he was never able to escape, but it was still fun to torment the people in the castle.
Now that Alyanna was on his homeground, he was going to have some fun with the little wench.
A deep and dark chuckle rumbles through his chest as he stares menacingly at the glass.
Next Scene
Alyanna and Thor's room
The servant Eli applies a small brush of blush across Alyanna's cheeks. She sits on a chair while many female servants prepare her for the evening. Tonight was her bachelorette party even though she did not have her truest friends. She was celebrating with strangers and it made her feel a little homesick and missing Natasha and Annie.
"So what do you girls do around her for fun?" She questions Eli who moves to paint her fingernails.
"Oh there are many fun things to do here. We could go swimming in the midnight pool, drink the sweetest wine under the stars, or go dancing at the moonlight club. It is entirely up to you Milady," she says sweetly.
Alyanna thinks to herself, and her mind began to wander to what Thor would be doing. "Eli, are there any strip clubs in Asgard?"
The fair girl looks up in confusion. "Strip-club Milady?"
Alyanna blushes and thinks of words that would correlate the same meaning. "You know...like a place where girls um, entertain the men?"
One of the other maidens leans over and whispers in Eli's ear, amusement dancing in her eyes.
"Oh!" Eli excalims. "You mean like a brothel?" Her eyebrows furrow. "Why does Milady want to go there? His Highness Thor will not be pleased."
Alyanna's face heats up and she waves her hands defensively. "Oh no! I do not want to got there! It's just...on my planet it is known for bachelor parties to participate at such places. I was worried Thor might have been swept there."
Eli nods in understanding, finishing up on her nails. "Do not worry, his highness is very loyal to his soulmate. Many suitors have approached him but he has turned every single one down."
Alyanna's stomach warmed at the words and she smiled down to herself. That did make her feel better. "Maybe we should try that wine under the stars," Alyanna suggest.
A smile breaks out across Eli's face and she nods eagerly. "I will arrange it immediately your highness!" She finishes up on her nails and stands to bow before heading for the door.
"Oh wait!" Alyanna calls out to Eli. "Would it be possible to invite Queen Frigga?"
Eli's eyes lit up. "I can extend the invitation to her majesty."
Alyanna nods with a smile. Might as well get to know the in laws. Especially since the others don't have parents for her to meet. Tony's parents died when she was young, Natasha was an orphan long ago, Bruce's parents are dead, Clint's parents are unknown, and of course Steve's died long ago. Thor was the only one who had parents, and Alyanna was determined to please them as best she could. Even though she was lying to them.
Her hand comes up and brushes across her arms where Tony and Steve's marks would be.
She wish they could all be here for the celebration.
Next Scene
Royal Balcony
After they all got ready, Eli brought Alyanna to a luxurious balcony that had the perfect view of the night sky. Alyanna's eye widen at the beautiful of the foreign sky; it was so much different than that of earth and she couldn't help but gawk like a blowfish.
There were couches and seats that were reclined to look at the beautiful view. She took the seat closest to her and Eli brought her a glass of wine. "This is the richest wine from the golden fruit of Asgard," she tells her.
Alyanna's eyes widen as she takes the glass and brings it to her lips. "Wow, it tastes like sweet golden nectar."
"Be careful, you must sip it lightly for it is very strong," a voice says from behind her.
Alyanna turns to see Frigga herself step through the curtain. The maids bow to their queen and Alyanna moves to stand. "No worries my dear, sit and relax," she tells Alyanna who smiles and settles back down.
"You have a beautiful home your highness," Alyanna compliments.
Frigga smiles as she sits across from the brown haired girl. "Thank you, but please call me Frigga. Your going to be my daughter in law tomorrow, no need for formalities."
Alyanna blushes at the reminder. "Oh right, I'm getting married tomorrow." She didn't mean it, but her tone turned sad as the words left her lips.
Frigga, of course, picked it up immediately. "What's wrong dear? Do you not want to marry my son?"
Alyanna's head snaps up and she shakes her head virgiously. "No! It's not that! I love Thor more than I love myself!" She exclaims.
"Then why do you have sadness in your eyes?" The old and wise queen questions.
Alyanna bites her lips and turns to look towards the sky. She remained silent, but Frigga could tell exactly what was on her mind.
The beautiful woman lets out a small laugh, and Alyanna turns to look at her. "Leave us," the queen commands, motioning for Eli and her friends to leave. They bow and disappears behind the curtains. "You are thinking of your other mates," she states.
Alyanna's eyes widen and her mouth drops open. But before she could say anything, Frigga holds her hand up to stop her. "Don't worry. I was the one who erased your other marks. I trust mother Mania and all of her bindings. Even my son's."
Relief washes over Alyanna. "Do you really believe that I was given these marks to fulfill some kind of destiny?" She asks Frigga.
Mystery swarmed in the queens eyes as she looks at the woman in front of her. "I believe that everyone has a destiny. Mother Mania believed that you needed six soulmates to complete yours. So it must be something big," she winks and Alyanna could only snort.
The avenger then decided to take the opportunity to ask Frigga a few questions that were bothering her. "Do you know anything about Eirik?"
Blonde eyebrows shoot up in surprise at the name. "Why do you wish to know little one?"
Alyanna rubs her arms nervously and she takes another sip of her glass. "Well, there's just been some trouble on Eart-I mean Midgard. And I think it may be linked to him."
Frigga frowns and taps her chin. "Eirik was Odin's half older brother. And much like my son Loki, he was desperate to rule, to prove himself worthy of being a king."
Alyanna leans forward, intrigued to learn more. Frigga continued. "He was a righteous man. Proud, and determined, he lead the frost giants to war against Odin. But when he failed and was banished from Asgard, the negative energy he brought to us never left. I strongly believe the energy he left was absorbed by my son. And that is why he is the way he is," she says sadly.
"Loki?" Alyanna inquires.
The queen's eyes flash to hers, and Alyanna could see the pain behind them. "He's a good man, I can see it in his heart. He is just misguided."
Alyanna grimaces, remembering the awful things Loki had done to her. "I don't know. How could you forgive someone who killed countless of people?"
Frigga sighs and smiles to herself. "By looking at the reason behind his actions. I blame myself honestly, if I had been there for him more, maybe he would have turned out differently."
Alyanna stares at Frigga with curious eyes, her mind wheeling. This was a lot of insight to take in. Could she ever forgive Loki for what he brought to New York? For the countless agents and civilians he murdered when he brought an alien invasion to earth? Alyanna really thought to herself, and she honestly couldn't bring herself to forgive a man—god, for the problems he's caused.
As for Erik Ewing, if he truly was this vengeful Demi-god, then earth may be in more trouble than she was lead to believe.
Alyanna turns back to the night sky, the cup coming back up to her lips as she continues to become lost in her mind.
Frigga looks at the woman who will soon marry her son. If only she knew just how special she was.
Next Scene
Fandral stares at his reflection, his eyes glowing green as his mind began to fall into a trance.
Loki smirks as his magic gets to work. "Fandral, mighty warrior, part of the warriors three, you will become my vessel for tonight's events."
Fandral blinks, before shaking his head. He palms his face as he sudden feels very dizzy. "What?"
"Tonight, you will take Thor to the Dryykjusala. You will fill his cup till it's always full. Then you will bring women from the brothel to entertain the prince."
Fandral coughs before snapping back to reality. He splashed water in his face before his smile breaks out into a wide grin.
He turns and walks into the hall where Thor was waiting patiently.
"So where have you decided to take me?" Thor questions with a wide grin.
The blond man slaps Thor on the back before pushing him towards the exit. "A place where a prince can properly celebrate the last night of freedom," he boast.
Loki smirks as his mind abilities worked.
