14 Orange planet
It should take about 2 days before the new planet: realm of desert, sand storms and earthquakes.
"You know, it happened that the two most difficult missions are yet to come. And in the end of our journey. Quite disturbing." Loki was talking slowly. I was laying on his lap and he was sitting on sofa. We had been chatting for several hours, mostly about nothing. He told me about his endless adventures with Thor, Odin and others when he was younger, about his even more endless hours and days in libraries with loneliness and silence. How he devoured books and thick folios discovering something new. About his unspoken but vivid difference from others and that he felt himself more convenient, always, alone.
How for the very first time he discovered considerable talent to magic and spells. And how Frigga was so incredibly happy that he has such abilities. How she taught him and how he pleased her with his new achievements almost every day. About his specific, understandable only for two of them, Frigga and he, world. About her true, huge, carrying mother's love.
"You know, I think, if Frigga hadn't loved me as she truly did I would've been a complete monster." Loki said through course of his monologue.
How he loved watching people's various behavior, manners and contemplating wonders and beauty of nature. "I loved to wander in vicinity of Asgard. My one of the most precious and secret place was little but so pure lake in the heart of Old forest. I discovered it accidently because it was hidden by trees." Loki said caressing my hairs gently. "I remember that day. In the morning we had a pretty heated argument with Thor. As usual, Thor didn't think much but prefer to act instantly. I was trying to stop him because I foreseen a big, very big troubles. He shouted at me even more harder than usual. In such cases I didn't pay much attention to his insults. I just knew that later I would play some little mischief with him and it would be just fine, because each time we laughed after that together and Thor louder than anyone.
But now... You know, his half-evil words reached straitly my heart. I said nothing to him but clenched my fists so tightly that blood appeared on my palms… I stormed out of hall, even Frigga couldn't stop me. Dark smoke flew around my hands. I took the first horse and rushed away from palace to forest." Loki trailed off. I picked up my gaze at him. Silent tears were in his eyes. I tried to wipe them away but he gently stopped my hand and turned his face away. I sat near him and embraced. He didn't resist.
"My sweetheart, come to me", I said and hugged him tightly.
I started kissing his long black hairs, ear, jaw bone trying to distract from bad thoughts. "Ella" he said quietly but didn't stop me. Heat inside of me began growing. I couldn't stop. I kissed his neck, felt how he responded to me because his breathing became heavier and deeper.
He turned to me and laid on his back, I sat near him, caressing his forehead. We just silently looked at each other. I locked my eyes on his thin but so attractive lips and leaned closer to kiss him softly. A few seconds later he took the initiative and heatedly responded to my kiss, pulling me closer to him. Oh, he was such a skillful kisser! He was leacking my lips with his own, teasing me with his tongue, burning my guts with every his touch.
He was caressing my shoulders and than trailed his hand down my back. I embraced him tightly. He emitted a lot growl. "Ella, oh gosh..." pulling me closer to his chest and snaking his hand to my hips.
I sat on top of him and instantly felt how fully ready he was. This sensation only incinerated everything inside of me, drove me so crazy about him… He deepened our kiss making me to moan louder, whisper his name.
Now he turned me on my back and sat on top of me. His gaze was so hungry and half-conscious. He restricted himself severely. Then he slowly leaned towards me kissing and nipping my earlobe, trailing down my neck and collarbone. I arched my back and inhaled sharply. He was hesitant just a second. Than he gently unbuttoned the first claps on my shirt and looked questioningly into my eyes. I silently bowed to him and he ardently trailed his gut-wrenching kisses down my breast searching for my nipples. And when he did I screamed out loud, arched again. Heavens!
He held me tight leacking and sucking my right nipple and playing in his fingers with the other one. "Loki, Loki" I moaned to him and shivering from each of his touch. I was burning severely, my stomach, all my guts and my thoughts. My center was all wet and heated, also as his.
He unbuttoned the second clasp on my skirt and looked up at me again.
"Loki, I think, I'm ready now to be closer" I answered to him. "But..."
He placed one his hand on my lips.
"Say nothing my love. I understand you."
He unbuttoned all my shirt and continued to explore my breast, shoulders, belly…
Soon we fall asleep. Together.
The following day supposed to be vacant. And in the morning, as we were taking our breakfast, we decided to perform good training. Because I need to improve my fighting skills and learn how to control all my so called super-powers.
Oh, Loki was strict but knowing teacher. He developed efficient plan. And we began to fulfill that plan. Firstly I was training my water ability alone. Loki paid much attention especially to water and ice control. Than I was fighting with him using water-powers only.
From the first second as I started chasing him in our training, Loki became elusive, almost literally. No, he didn't shifted his form or something. But I couldn't even imagine how incredibly fast, accurate and so graceful he can move and react to my attacks. Again I was charmed by him.
Maybe around 14 o'clock we decided to make the brake for lunch. I was starved, sweaty and so exhausted!
"Oh Loki, you made me work hard!" I exclaimed as we were going out of the gym.
"I hope to the same when you would be on top of me" he responded suddenly.
I looked at him in complete surprise. He just winked at me. Then he slowly moved closer, blocking my path by his body and gently pinned my back to the wall of corridor. He was breathing heavily, his face just inch from my own. "I love you" he said and kissed softly my lips. Then he released me and said as if nothing: "Let's go to my quarter. I will prepare some food and we need to change our closing."
We continued our training session after lunch and short rest. Loki taught me the very basics of martial art and explain how to use more effectively power of shadows and wind. We were training until evening and finished approximately at 20 o'clock.
After dinner and evening routine Loki made the conclusions about our trainings.
"Your abilities are amazing."
"And you are demanding but fair teacher. It was memorable to fight with you."
Loki was laying on our sofa. "Come to me, honey. I want to hug you and fall asleep because I tired a bit." "Really?" I smiled to him. I joined him in bed. "And what do you think about my condition?"
"That I love you and that you just incredible." He answered half asleep.
"Computer, dimm the light" I just said.
In the morning of the next day we should arrive to Orange planet approximately at 13 o'clock, so we had plenty of time to woke up lazily and just start our day without hurry.
We prepared food and sat to the table. But Loki was preoccupied with something.
"What's wrong, my dear?" I asked half-playfully. But it had no effect. I sat near him. Loki took my hand. "I'm worried about our next goal. This is realm of desert, enormous hurricanes, earthquakes. And my data is insufficient."
"As I remember, you want to possess this stone. Right?"
"Yeah."
"So, what do you know exactly?"
"This emerald can control not only sand, but ground. It's an earth stone. And it must be in the ruins of ancient temple or city, something like this. But this is not the point. Problem is here exist huge sand and stone geysers, quicksands, live always changing mountains and all this mess right around the emerald…"
Loki looked at me a bit disappointedly. "Sorry, but I do not exactly know what to do. I am not so good planner as you may..."
"Listen Loki, let's improvise!" I interrupted him.. "We are so far from Earth travel to no one knows where, joke. We possess such huge powers, you led me to the edge of the Universe. I do not determined to give up."
Loki looked at me and smiled a bit. "Oh Ella, you can light up my mood. Ok, but are you sure that you are not afraid or? I even do not know how to form the question properly". I couldn't stand it and just kissed him to his such magnetic lips simultaneously sitting on his lap, face-to-face. Than I broke up our kiss, raised my right hand and formed ice blade as sharp as he had created earlier, holding it near his neck. He was standing still silently watching my actions. I slowly picked up my left hand and formed the second water blade, quite sharp too. I was sitting on Loki and holding blades just in centimeter off of his neck. He was watching me attentively, slyly and unmoingly. We were like this minute or so. Than I dropped my blades away.
"Impressive" he just said.
"Loki, I've practiced by myself a bit while I was in my quarter or without you. I feel my powers instinctively. I do not know how this possible, but I consider it like continuing of my own body, like my hands. Do you understand me?"
"Yes, I understand. I know that you want to demonstrate that you are ready, that you can fight even better than me, because your powers are stronger. I know even without that you've shown earlier that we are more than team: we work together perfectly. I'm so lucky that it happened that way. But my main idea is that, I afraid, it wouldn't be enough to overcome the next task because it's just too difficult, that it's just beyond us..."
"Maybe. But we have no choice." I said.
"Quite true." Loki responded.
"And we still need a plan."
"Definitely."
"So, let's our very first step to solve this problem would be the briefing of the mission."
"What I certainly know about is that emerald is an area of the city of Live Mountains. In the Great crater bawl. But what is the conditions like??? I do not know exactly. Huracanes, sand tornados, sand geysers, quicksands, earthquakes and maybe something else. We can locate the signal of emerald from our ship, but not too exactly."
"I think this is also enough." I commented. "When do we arrive?"
"Approximately 2 hours."
"Ok, now let's take some rest."
"Here it is! Finally I got the position of emerald." Loki said after more than half an hour of searching.
"So what do our sensors show?" "As I said earlier: severe storms, tectonic and weather activity." "Some system?" "Yeah, like layers of onion surrounding barriers of the center point - orange emerald."
"So Loki, you will fly first, fight with circumstances as possible. And I will protect you if need with my telekinesis, or wind, or shadows from whatever it would be." "Yes, my dear".
And he embraced me. "Ella, I love you. You are my angel. And honestly, I'm afraid."
I looked at window.
"You know, this planet reminds me Jupiter."
"Yeah, there is some similarity. Are you ready, Ella?"
"Sure"
"Energize!"
And we occurred in the heart of disaster, really disaster. All previous planets were resorts compare this mess. We were hanging in air. I instantly activated telekinetic shield protecting us from roaring streams of stones, sand, dirt. Visibility was low. We were moving with help of navigator in our wrist computers and communicating by radio.
Loki activated his own telekinesis and moved forward and a little bit ahead, I diminished mine shield but flow instantly began carrying him away. I was terrified and immediately restored my protection again. Slowly we began our way.
I was carrying main shield and Loki used his like drill for moving through surrounding rampage. I felt, while we were moving, the quite noticeable heat on my chest. I looked down: my golden crystal was shining violently: working on full power.
We slowly moved that way. I was holding my shield with my stretched, tensed hands. I felt like I was pulling several tons load ahead of me for, I even don't know how long time. My arms started burning little by little, my veins ashing and all my body. I looked left at Loki. He was all sweat, his black hairs were all wet and stuck to face and teeth clenched. But he kept moving and I know, did his best.
Suddenly the roaring live-stone wall ended and we occured in a zone of flying rocks. We rushed out like bullets and almost hit swiftly flying stone. We reoriented. Loki and I were using our powers of shadows. It was easiest way of acting and still we hardly managed the income flow!
This was hard physical work. We couldn't land, couldn't calm our breathing because the earth was shaking all of the time and there was no solid ground. But we have no choice. We were maneuvering like this quite long and finally, like a great reward, we saw a glimpse of emerald. Oh, this was the best view ever!
But we had the final, third zone: zone of huge sand and stone geysers which height were several hundreds meters. And, like cherry on cake, the flock of flying guardians: dinosaurs or something. And they noticed us! And flew to attack.
"Loki, keep your way forward, I will use my lightning to defeat them. Ok?"
"Yes. And I - fireballs."
We entered the third zone.
Now the visibility was good but the distance to emerald was still huge: 3 or 5 kilometers. But, if you broke through the flock of aggressive dinosaur, is huge. They rushed on us with loud vocalizations. I was throwing my lightnings more often when if I were shooting from a machine gun. Loki was throwing knives mixed with fireballs. But we were moving to our goal too slow. And I decided to use shadows. I formed one big dark spot and waved it like a blanket wiping away all this nasty flock away from us and threw them away almost to the border with live-stone wall. But still all dinosaurs were flying back to us.
We stormed to emerald. We were in a distance of approximately 1,5 km. Loki was flying ahead of me. He increased his speed to maximum. When he reached the crystal he immediately activated it.
In the same moment, the deafening scream one of the most biggest dinosaur was shook all around. I was distracted just for second. And then… I
I do not know where this dinosaur appeared, it seems from the above. It grabbed me for my shoulders, hit my head. I began to lose control and my conscious. I started falling down. The last I can remember was Loki frantically rushing towards me…
