Author's Note: Here it is! This time table thing is working!
Chapter 16: A Look To Asgard
Heimdall wasn't an idiot. He had known what his Prince was planning when he was sitting outside of the Observatory and was keeping a close watch ever since Thor had left to go to the frozen realm. Heimdall hoped that Thor could become worthy again, and he had an inkling as to how he could.
Thankfully, his hope seemed to be becoming reality. Thor had met a small Jotun child, Estele, and seemed to care about him, or was at least he was starting to. And, it seemed that his hope was also held by the Norns.
Queen Frigga had visited him, saying something about having a vision while she was weaving. The visions always seemed to arrive while she was weaving. He wasn't sure if his Queen's gift only worked when she was weaving or whether she just spent that much time doing it. He was happy that the Norns hadn't given him any limitations on his Sight. Although sometimes he wished it would stop.
The Queen hadn't told him what her vision was about but simply smiled when she learned that Thor had made friends with a Frost Giant child.
He hoped that was a good sign, he truly wished for his friend to regain his power for he knew how much Thor loved his ability to wield Mjolnir. And, of course, it would bring the Second Prince back.
Heimdall didn't hate Loki. He just didn't like him.
Loki was...different. Even from birth, he was a sickly child and might have spent more time in the healing chambers than outdoors, something that was odd to the usually healthy people of Asgard. He was busy with his books and sedir rather than learning how to be a good warrior. He couldn't wield a sword or axe and instead chose daggers and knives. He was too good of a liar, too good at manipulating people to get what he (or his few friends) wanted. He was different. A small part of Heimdall acknowledged that many Aesir would rather that the Silver Tongue never came back.
But he would. Thor loved him too dearly to ever let him stay on Midgard alone and decided to risk his life to bring Loki back.
Asgard didn't know that, though. They thought that their beloved prince was simply out mourning the loss of his brother and would come back the same as he always was.
Heimdall thought differently. He thought that the Prince might change by the end of this journey.
Author's Note: So, this one is a little short. I hope that's OK.
Also, please comment if you have time! It's my drive and helps me write better.
Next chapter will be posted on the 24th, maybe earlier (but don't count on it!)
