Author's Note: Greetings. I haven't been on here lately and this story's posting schedule has...died. I apologize for this but life has a habit of getting in the way.
Chapter 6: 'How To Be Worthy' Really Should Be A Book
Their quest had done nothing.
Mjolnir still would not yield for him. He knew that Loki would quip that Thor needed a 'How To Be Worthy' book and then say 'Oh, pardon, you wouldn't be able to read it!' He smiled slightly then his mouth creased back to a frown.
Volstagg had been stabbed in the foot by a spike which the dragon could apparently shoot out of its tail.
If Loki were here, everyone would know that. Loki would have researched properly, which is why his friends brought him on quests. Loki knew things. Volstagg wouldn't be in the Healer's Chambers if Thor had done this right.
Sif kept saying it wasn't his fault but, wasn't it? Loki always took the blame if something went wrong. Why shouldn't he?
He had had enough of the Healer's Chambers and Volstagg was fine and asleep anyway. He decided to make his way to the Queen's Chambers. He wanted to see his mother in the childish way everyone did. When they just wanted their mother to say everything would be alright.
When he got there a servant informed him that Frigga wasn't there but instead was in his father's chambers. He made his way there slowly, wondering why his father did what he did. He had asked his mother this and her answer was simply 'Your father always has a reason for everything.' Then he wondered whether his father would let Loki come back if something bad happened to his mortal body.
Mortals were weak. It was true. His father said it. But, what if his father lied? He'd lied about this being a fair punishment. So what if he'd lied about the mortals? What if the mortals were a bloodthirsty race like the Frost Giants!? What if Loki was being tortured? What if he was dead? He needed to find his brother! Maybe Mother would help him.
He had sped up unconsciously and had reached the door to his father's chambers. A wave of relief hit him because he knew - he knew that Mother would help him. Mother wouldn't let Loki face this alone. Mother would help Loki.
Author's Note: So, what d'ya think? What do you think's gonna happen?
I also wanted to say something I'd noticed quite a while ago. All of my chapters pre-chapter 4 had 2 reviews each now I have around 17. I never knew my stories would have an actual following but here I am. Thanks, mortals.
