Entering the court, Loki looked paler than ever. the pale skin made his blue eyes stand out the most. Navigating his surroundings, his eyes found its way immediately to where Thor is tied up. Amusement overwhelmed him. There, his chance lies helpless, tied up like a prize waiting for him.

Thor on the other side was glad to see Loki well, he tried to speak to him, but as soon as he uttered a voice a metal of bars shut his mouth. He mumbled some words that were unclear, from the tone of it you could identify it as a calling for Loki. Loki ignored him and turned to Thanos bowing to him. Despite how he was surprised by Loki's gesture, Thor had hope in him that Loki would prove Thanos wrong. That he is not a destructive beast. Yet his goodwill intention soon disappeared when Loki spoke. "Father! Allow me the honor to end this scum's life!". Thor ignored that. thinking that Loki might be doing this to fool Thanos. he knows that Loki's ego can not allow him to bend his head to the others that easily. that if it was never.

"hmm I'm not certain, losing him would cost us a lot, and I cannot afford it",

"his life is nothing compared to the gift I will present it to you, father",

"is that so?",

"if you allowed me the chance, Asgard would be under your hands". there is no way that what Thor heard is correct, Loki is….. selling his home? "what you need is inside her, the weapons vault. I can grant you access to it once I take control over her",

"looking confident aren't you",

"Asgard no longer has her protector" he gave a glance toward Thor then back to Thanos "nor her king. He is more vulnerable than ever". Loki wore a corrupted smile that horrified Thor, he could swear that he had seen it before, where though?

(you know exactly where you have seen it) the voice spoke (don't you remember? Should I help? Blue skin…red eyes…does it not ring a bell yet?),

"he is getting weaker by every day pass", Loki continued his speech while Thor was being fed again by the poisonous thoughts. his speech only added more to it. "deceiving him and getting his head won't be much of a problem at this stage".

(shame) the sound sighed (shame shame shame. you got fooled really bad this time, and look at what you've gained from it. from a silly feeling of sentimentality),

"interesting" the titan said "hmm alright then, do as you will".

Loki's smile widened with evilness, he summoned daggers in his hands and rushed immediately toward Thor to kill him. (it is up to you now, to die as a fool, or to live for a glorious purpose…you know what you need to do). Thor was very calm in his place, absorbed in his mind, he chose his decision. Thanos signed to maw and Thor's bonds fell off at the moment Loki landed the hit. Thor grabbed his hand stopping him from stabbing him in the neck, but the other found its way to the abdomen. He raised his head, locking his eyes with Loki. Both of Their eyes were covered with a bright blue color, sharing the loathing stares to each other, the fight began.

Thor punched Loki in the stomach sending him flying to the back, Loki balanced himself not to fall and and managed to take a stand on the ground. On the opposite, Thor picked up the sword that was thrown to him and walked slowly to Loki. picking the dagger out of his stomach, he tightened his grip on the sword thrusting at Loki. Summoning his daggers again, Loki blocked the attack. "my eyes won't rest until I serve the rightful judgment upon your soul, filthy jotun",

"rightful judgment?!, implement it on yourself first!, you who raised a jotun to kill him the next day for your own fake glory!, You are the ones who need the rightful judgment!". He broke through the clash sending a dagger aimed at Thor's head. He dodged that getting a cut on his cheek, it made his rage boil more and struck a hit which Loki blocked. His dagger shattered to pieces letting the sword slash through his shoulder and blood came out flowing. He took a jump back dodging the second attack that hit it the ground and broke it from the strong force. Loki summoned two daggers, throwing it at thor, one pierced his leg and the other his arm.

Both of them were bleeding, and none of them showed signs of restraint. Getting the daggers out, and Loki healing his injury, the fight continued. "father, how long shall we let them fight?" Maw asked the titan who was watching the battle joyfully.

"until one of them dies",

"but i thought we want them both",

"Alright then, until one of them is close to death" he said, disappointed in the suggestion. You don't get a battle like this every day. such a waste of entertainment.
