The years passed and both Loki and Thor became the gods they were meant to be. The two brothers completed their respective skills. Thor became the great warrior all of Asgard had hoped he would be, while Loki leaned more toward sorcery and spells. He considered magic to be the most powerful force that could exist, though he did not cease to train his warrior skills.

"Good job, brother," Thor said hitting his brother in the back. Loki looked at him proudly. "For a moment I did not know what your clone was and what the real one was." He laughed as he took a long sip of his beer. They had finished an intense training session. Thor liked to practice with Loki. He knew that the dark one would do anything to win the battle and that made him pay more attention to the battle.

"Thank you, brother, but I don't think I've reached your level with the sword." Loki lied. He hated going out a training session with his brother and his friends, but Odin forced him to develop other skills.

Thor and his friends laughed, spilled beer and made a big fuss. Loki on the other hand just slipped away without being seen by others. Those celebrations after training did not go to him. He preferred to walk through the palace gardens and sit under the shade of a tree to read one of his books or enjoy the company of some innocent maiden who has just arrived at the palace, although it was not the case that day.


"Loki, wake up." Loki did not know when he fell asleep. When he opened his eyes, he found his book on his chest and the eyes of one of Thor's friends. "Heimdall is waiting for you, Thor is already there." Loki began to sit up slowly, which made the messenger uneasy. "It is important." Loki ignored his words and walked calmly to the Bifrost where his impatient brother waited. There were few pleasures in Loki's life, but unsettling his brother was one of his favourites.

"Now that you are both, I have to inform you of something," Heimdall said. Loki looked at his brother. "Something is happening in the realms, I still have not discovered what. All I can say is that a shadow is growing larger and larger. I fear the worst for the realms."

"Why did not you tell Father?" Loki asked in a bored tone.

"It was the first thing I did," Heimdall answered brusquely. "He ordered me to inform you about it."

"What do we have to do?" Thor asked. You were already slow to take off your superhero attitude, brother. Loki thought as he averted his gaze to the reliefs that made up the ceiling and walls of the Bifrost. He knew perfectly well what would happen next: They would have a conversation with Odin, who would give them a speech about their obligations to Asgard and the nine kingdoms. Thor would swear to fulfil his duty as heir to the throne. Loki would simply watch the scene in the background. Before leaving for their new adventure, Frigga would dismiss them as assaults, dedicating sweet words and making them promise that they will help each other and that they would return safe and sound.

After the farewells, it was time to leave. Thor was accompanied by his three men, but Odin decided it was only the brothers.

"You still do not know what's happening, it's better if you do not get too much attention," Odin explained to his sons. Thor began to protest, but Odin cut him off with a glance, ending the conversation.

"What is our first destination?" Loki asked before entering the rainbow bridge.

"Heimdall?" Thor called the guardian who started to open the bridge.

"Svartalheim." He said before seeing them cross. "Be cautious, for dark elves are hostile creatures." Loki and Thor exchanged a glance before crossing the bridge.

After a flash, they reached the forests of Svartalheim. It was a forest of stones, with few trees and bushes. Life there was destined to fail. Loki looked around, but everything was dark. Thor pulled out his Mjolnir hammer. Good idea, brother, so nobody will know we've come.


Kaysa opened her eyes startled. She sat up slowly and headed for her balcony. Her amber eyes traced the horizon. Something had interrupted her from her rest. Unfortunately, she could not give the cause with the naked eye. With a firm step, she went to the door of her rooms where two guards watched over her safety.

"Seek Einar." She said to one of them. Despite her youth, Kaysa had learned to rule the elves fairly, and she would not let anything threaten their safety. After a few minutes, a tall man appeared through the door. His dark, curly hairs were in turmoil as if he had been awakened. His face, covered by a leafy beard, showed some discomfort to be there at that time.

"Have you called me, Your Highness?" Einar said hoarsely. Einar was Kaysa's trusted man. From the day she arrived at the palace, he had been her protector and counsellor.

"There's something out there," Kaysa said pointing towards the forest. Einar looked out the balcony. "I have felt unknown energy, it has been for a few minutes." Kaysa, having grown up surrounded by darkness, had learned to detect energies other than those that made up her kingdom.

"Are you sure?" Kaysa nodded. "I will prepare a small exploration group." Einar left the room calling several of his men. Kaysa went back out onto the balcony. Her gaze kept searching through the horizon. Suddenly, her knees faltered, causing her to fall to the ground. She had felt that energy again, but this time it was much more intense.


"Did you hear that?" Thor looked at his brother who was a few steps behind him. Loki looked around. That time the sound was stronger. "Voices," Thor whispered. Just when he was going to turn around to find a place to hide with his brother, he realized that he was completely alone. Good luck brother Loki laughed to himself. He had cast an invisibility spell on himself. He had heard the voices for some time and was not willing to let himself be captured by his brother's neglect. It is best to keep myself safe, he laughed wryly as he remained stuck in a small clearing that he had while watching his brother find a safe place to hide. They are getting closer, Thor, you have to hurry. The situation seemed to amuse him. Thor, however, could not say the same.

"Stop!" A hoarse voice said a few meters from where the brothers were. The murmur of the voices was accompanied by heavy footsteps and the sound of the metal of the armour. Einar appeared from some bushes, accompanied by his small group of explorers. "Who are you?" As a reflex, Thor held his hammer in a defensive position. This caused the group to raise their arms against him.

"Thor." The God said after reconsidering and lowering his hammer.

"Escort him to the palace and take him to the Queen!" He ordered Einar. Before leaving, he checked the clearing where they had found Thor.

Loki followed the group of scouts standing at the level of stragglers. Nobody could see him, which made it easier to hear about the conversations they were having between them. Einar was talking seriously with one of his soldiers.

"I do not know what's going to happen to him, but I hope her majesty to be benevolent, he's probably gone astray along the way." Einar listened silently to his companion. This gets interesting. At last, we will meet the king of the dark elves. Though there had been times when they had met formally, Loki had always found a way to avoid such pointless meetings. There seems to be no escape this time. Loki began to imagine in his mind the image of that mysterious monarch, but he forgot the detail that he would be an elf and that, therefore, would be a beautiful creature. He continued touring the group of explorers. He saw his brother in between. He went unclamped, walking on his own foot. In the depths of his being, Loki felt pleased. He wanted his brother humiliated.

"Did you hear the noises the other night?" One of the explorers laughed with another. "I'm sure Einar was there." Loki felt a chill run down his back. I do not want to be in your place brother. I think that king will not be able to resist you after having been with that, Loki thought looking at Einar with an expression of horror and displeasure.

Little by little, the palace lights began to glimpse. No other construction of a kingdom like this could be expected. The palace was built with dark stone and decorated with ocher flags. The rock's forest stretched around him, isolating him from the rest of the houses in which the subjects lived. They had to cross a bridge before reaching a large number of steps that ended at the palace gates. Loki began to ascend by them but soon needed to rest to take a breath. A God should not make these kinds of efforts, he told himself before teleporting to the top. Once there, he admired the oak door that was in front of him. On it, you could see sculptures of beautiful creatures with serious faces that made one feel as if he were being judged.

Thor and the group of explorers did not take long to arrive. I know these stairs have killed you brother, laughed Loki looking at his brother who had a serious face.


Einar was the first to enter the throne room. It was a lugubrious room, with thousands of details carved in wood. In the distance on a throne, a small figure was glimpsed. Loki was not able to distinguish in detail who it was unless it came closer although he was surprised that the king was so small. Was he still a child?

"Your Majesty." Einar greeted. That caught Loki's attention causing him to teleport at the foot of the throne. He could not believe what his eyes saw. Sitting on the throne was a girl younger than him. Her blond hair fell over her shoulders like a cascade of light. Above her head was a simple bronze headband. Her amber eyes looked distractedly at the room. She wore a leather dress that fitted to her curves. The top part was two strips that covered her breasts, showing the rounded shape of them on the side. The skirt reached to the floor, but there was an opening that made it possible to see her naked right leg completely.

Loki was so distracted that he did not notice the discomfort in his pants. Nor did he notice the arrival of the group to his position.

"Kneel." The girl ordered as she rose from the throne. "I am Kaysa, queen of Svartalheim." She was presented. Her sweet, caramelized voice maintained an authoritative tone, although it sounded melodic to Loki's ears.

"I am Thor, son of Odin, God of Thunder, the future king of Asgard." Relax your tone, brother, thought Loki still with his eyes on the queen. Her little figure captured all of his attention.

"Can I know what are you looking for in my kingdom?"

"We are on an exploratory mission, my queen," Thor answered, bowing his head as he spoke the last words, at all times trying to maintain his diplomatic stance. Just as Odin has taught you.

"'We'?" Kaysa looked around the room until she met Einar's gaze.

"He was alone in the woods."

Kaysa started walking down the steps until she reached the soldier's height. At that moment, Loki noticed how small she was compared to him. Her narrow figure made her hips and breasts stand out even more, swaying with every step she took.

"What are you looking for?" The queen asked again.

"That information is confidential, your majesty." Thor could not reveal the reason for his arrival in her kingdom if he wanted to remain calm.

"Do you want me to leave you for my kingdom as if it were such?" Kaysa laughed cruelly. "What are you looking for?" Her tone was hard. Thor did not respond. Kaysa's eyes darkened completely. "Maybe a visit to the dungeons will change your mind." Her voice sounded strange.

"Majesty, no!" Einar tried to stop her but she pushed him away.

"Obey your queen!" The royal guards took Thor by the shoulders. It was difficult to hold him back, but finally, the soldiers managed to tie him up and gag him. "Cover his hands." After that order, the soldiers put some strange boxes that covered Thor's hands completely.

Loki watched the scene excited. He had never seen a woman impose herself so much and that was something that aroused him. Pity, it is such a disgusting creature. Elves were not the most precious creatures of the Gods. We could have formed a great team, lamented Loki. However, the change she had caught his attention. I may investigate a little more before presenting myself properly. Loki smiled wickedly as he followed the queen towards the exit from the throne room.

And the second chapter is here. At last, some of our characters are known. As I said in the first chapter, I would be very grateful if you left your opinion. That way I would know if the direction in which I'm going to is the one you like.
