"The reason that I am telling you this is because of one reason." Harry looked Loki straight in the eyes to show how serious he was. "I know how it is to be a slave and I would never ever force something like that on someone else. It is in my intention to get that collar of. Whatever it would take. I don't want you to be my slave, I want you to be a free person."

Loki stared at Harry, he couldn't have meant all of that, right? "Why?" Loki chocked out. "Why would you say something like that?"

Harry smiled sadly at Loki. "Because I want you to know the truth."


Now

"Because I want you to know the truth." The sentence haunted Loki's mind. The truth? What was the truth? Did he tell the truth? Why would he tell the truth? Did he thought that it would make Loki trust him? How dared he! Trying to trick the trickster. Loki became angrier and angrier with every thought.

"How dare you!" Loki accused Harry who was taken aback. "How dare you to pretend to tell me the truth, just to get my trust! Don't you know who I am! I am the Trickster. I am the God of Mischief. I am the silver tongue. I am Loki!"

Taken aback, Harry tried to backpaddle. "No! I wouldn't want to"

"Shut up you measly… whatever it is that you are." Loki growled. "You are nothing but a filthy betrayer. Did you really think that it was a good idea to mess with the God of Lies?" Loki made a move to get out of bed and Harry tried to stop him. "I don't like betrayers; they are the worst kind of beings to me. And if you... AAH!" Loki yelled out while falling to the floor.

Harry stood up and reached for Loki.

"Get of me, don't even think about touching me." Loki spat out hatefully. Harry flinched but he didn't stop reaching out towards Loki.

"Your legs are weak from the past days, please, just let me help you." Harry pleaded. "Please, Loki."

Loki looked the wizard in the eyes and only saw big emeralds filled with concern and sorrow." …Fine" Loki reached out with his hand that was grabbed immediately. He saw more than he felt that he was pulled up and was settled on the bed again. "Why…" Loki chocked out. "Why would you do… this." He ended with a vague gesture.

"Why I am helping you?" Harry asked softly. "I thought that I already explained that, but what I told you before is the truth. I can't see anyone suffering like I suffered."

"That's not… that's not what I meant." Loki said looking down. "Why would you pretend to care? Why would you go to all this trouble, just to let feel as if I matter and then let me drop. Why would you do that? My whole world is already black, I don't need any more things happening with me." To his own shock, Loki saw the blanket underneath him turning wet. It were just small drops of water, but the blanket still became wet. Loki raised a hand towards his eyes and he realised that the small drops of water were tears. His tears.

He heard a gasp from beside him and flinched. Why today of all days, was he crying with someone near him. And that that someone was the one who enslaved him. The tears fell faster and faster. Before he knew it, Loki was sobbing with everything in him.

Harry couldn't believe his eyes and blinked a few times before jumping up from his seat and getting a glass of water and some tissues. He offered them to Loki who took them after some persuasion.

"Are you alright?" Harry asked Loki carefully after Loki had calmed down a bit. Internally he was yelling at himself for the stupid question. "You know what, don't answer that question." Harry winced seeing the reaction of Loki. "I believe that there's something else that's needs your attention. Maybe it would help you to see that I am speaking the truth."

Loki looked up intrigued. "What is it then?"

Harry took a breath, perhaps Loki would know what to do with the rascals. "The day you arrived here with me, well, let's just say that you weren't the only one who arrived that day. The collar had a binding oath; 'I, Harry James Potter, Master of Death, claim hereby Loki of Jotunheim and Asgard and all of his possession, things he created or helped creating. So, as I say, so mote it be.' That was the oath to be precisely. I already knew that I would get some stuff from you, so I made a room ready for the stuff that would appear. Of course, with an expansion charm to be sure." Here, Harry stopped for a moment, remembering how he felt when he entered the room for the first time.

"After you fell asleep, one of my House Elves told me that there was something amiss in the room. I of course thought that it would be a good idea to just ran towards the room and to burst into the room. That was a mistake. The question is if it could have gone better if I didn't storm into the room. Perhaps, but it certainly wouldn't change my surprise. Oh, and don't frown I will come to the point." Harry reprimanded Loki. "When I opened the doors, I saw an eight-legged-horse, a girl who was half alive and the other half was a skeleton and there was a gigantic snake." Harry stopped talking seeing the look of complete surprise on the face of Loki. "Loki?"

"Sleipnir, Hell and Jörmungandr, but how?" Loki asked hopefully, he looked as if he was in his own world. "My children… but where is Fenrir?" Loki looked up at Harry. "My apologies, I got side-tracked, what were you saying again?"

"It's alright." Harry reassured Loki with a smile. "The beings in the room weren't the only weird things, but I shall let you see it for yourself at a later day, but first you will need to meet with your children. Though I have to warn you, they aren't overly fond of me at the moment. I believe that it had something to do with their 'pour papa' who was enslaved by such a brute." Harry teased Loki. "They did attack me, but I could hold them of for a few moments. We were interrupted by another House Elf, but enough about that. Would you like to see them? Your children?"

"Yes, I would love that." Loki said hopefully.
