Loki & Astrid's Chambers Part 1
"I want you to remain here... Regardless of what happens." Loki kisses Astrid. "I love you." He tells her before turning to leave. "I love you too. And you better come back to me." Astrid tells him clearly non too thrilled that he has once again told her to stay put. The Sorcerer turns around. "Are you always going to hold me to something that happened once. Years ago?" Loki as with false vexation.
"She will." Frigga says from the doorway with Jo still on her shoulder. They turn to face their unexpected but welcome guest. "Hello, Mother." Loki says with a smirk.
"Hello." She enters their chambers. "I have already brought all of Asgard's children and expecting mothers on bored." The Sorceress feels the little dragon move on her shoulder. "Speaking of children..." Frigga grabs the small blue being then places him on the floor. "Jo has missed his parents." She says knowing full well that neither of her children like being refereed to as parents.
Astrid bends down to up her dragon puppy. "Hey Jo. I missed you too." The young Sorceress says as she returns to her full height before turning her attention to the Sorcerer beside her. "Can't you just let everybody else fight this time?" Astrid abruptly ask knowing her husband won't like it. Loki allows a heavy sigh escape him. "No. I must do this. The people need to see not just my presence but that I care as well." He tenderly tells her to convey that he doesn't really wish to leave her side.
"There is another way." Frigga tells them seeing they are already lost in each others eyes. "What is it?" Astrid ask while both being pulled out of her lover's gaze and liking that there's another option for him.
"Sutur's crown." Frigga says knowing Loki knows of what she speaks. Astrid offers the older Sorceress a confused expression. "You wish me to cause Ragnarok, do you not?" The Trickster ask thinking there has to be a better solution to their problem. "Yes. I know it's not ideal but unfortunately it's the only way to truly save our people." Frigga states before returning her attention to Astrid.
"It is an old prophecy. Ragnarok is the end of our realm or end of days in Midgardian terms. Sutur is the means to the realms end and with it his own death. It is quite tragic but it must come to pass. But..." She points her finger in the air. "At least our people and our culture will live on." The former Queen explains knowing Ragnarok is one many things her daughter of the heart has not yet learned.
"I see... And where does Loki fit into all of this?" Astrid ask hoping it doesn't include her husband's death. "I have to place his crown into the Eternal Fame and get the fuck back to this ship before he grows taller than the mountains and lays waste to the realm." He looks at his Love. "You'll understand when you see it, my Love." Loki tells her then quickly kisses her once again before teleporting.
