Loki, be thankful Allfather did not go with another intention,Sigyn tried to cheer him up.
What could be worse than this?Loki doubted her.
You could have been banished to the Island of Silence Sigyn gave him one plan. Her words drifted away as she gave him the scene of the island. You could see creatures calling each other, waves crashing against the island, people there trying to speak to each other but there was no sound, only silence. People started to grow insane with the current situation. She cut out the scene from showing him more. A total island of silence. It even affects your mind. You think you are speaking to yourself yet the words drift off and you are left with blank nothingness.
You've been there, Loki eyed her.
It was a test of strength, I passed for none of the abilities one is gifted is unable to use them. Sigyn walked to look out onto Asgard. You couldn't even call Heimdall. He at times does not know if the person is right to let them back.
Days turned into weeks. Weeks turned into months. Loki was guided by Sigyn to look deeper into himself and to see the outward world looking to him. He was getting tired of it, but she stayed persistent. She made him stay in the castle and away from others until she felt he was ready for company. She started him off by hanging around the group he grew up with; Thor, Sif, and the Warriors Three.
The group of them were by the circle firepit. Some were sitting on the golden colored rounded benches while others were leaning on them. Sigyn sat down on a lone bench while Loki stood by her. The group was laughing and reminiscing at old times and Thor's story about Midgard.
"Brother, you have finally come out of hiding, tis good to see your face," Thor smiled. He sat across from him. "Glut Angrboda I would like to connect minds with my brother."
"My apologies, Thor, tis not allowed," Sigyn replied. "I am allowed to speak for him."
Tis good to see his face too, but don't tell him that, Loki thought.
Why not? Your brother would be delighted to hear such news, Sigyn was happy to hear.
I do not want to look soft in his light. My brother of might and force would look down upon me. Loki eyed her. As he does already.
He would not, Sigyn sighed.
"Are you speaking to him, at this moment?" Thor questioned. He was confused by the silence.
"Yes, and quite the conversation. I am not allowed to say his response to yours, but do be great for it was not witty or hurtful," Sigyn replied.
How dare you! Loki was full on looked to her. He was fuming inside. Doth not listen?
Aye, I did. Though I did find a loophole just like you always do, Sigyn knew that in order to fight him on his own ground she was going to use his tricks against him.
Thor was in fact happy to hear. "The look on his face shows that tis true. Brother, seasons have passed, you have missed celebrations and quests. Glut Angrboda when is he able to come with us?"
"In due time. I do not see how quests and celebrations will overall help," Sigyn looked to Loki who finally looked away.
"Glut Angrboda, are you able to ever show your face?" Fandral asked taking her all in.
Yes, are you? Loki added on finally looking back.
"No," was all that Sigyn replied.
"How would we know that you are actually beautiful underneath?" Fandral tried to charm her.
"You wouldn't. As for thinking about trying to see, I would advise to rethink your current strategy. That one too," Sigyn smirked.
I wonder what they were? Loki was quite curious.
His usual romantic demeanor, and then it twas to be full force, Sigyn thought to him. She knew the rest were wondering about how to go about it.
"Fandral what was that young maiden that you have ever so wished to see again?" Volstagg asked. He had an apple in hand. "Maybe Glut Angrboda would know her whereabouts." He chomped down on it. Scarfing it down in a few seconds. He reached for the grapes next.
Fandral eyes lit up with excitement and shock. "Let's not talk about her. Plus there are so many other young maidens. I do not know of whom or which you speak of?"
Volstagg laughed. "Let's not talk about her? You can not remember which one she was? This is new. At times, we can't get you to stop talking about her. Weren't you just a young lad when you met her and never seen her since?"
"Yes, yes I was." Fandral agreeing. He started to drift off into memories of her and him.
"Who is the young maiden Fandral?" Thor asked. "You have eyes for one maiden alone? Tis quite unusual for you, tis it not?"
Fandral looked to Volstagg who only laughed. Hogun smirked. Sif rolled her eyes. Loki was curious and Sigyn was curious how this was going to play out.
"No, tis will be overwhelming, I would rather not think of her at all," Fandral waved his hand.
Volstagg looked over to Glut Angrboda then back to Fandral. "I bet you that's a lie. Tis true, Glut?" He called her by her short name.
"Tis true," Sigyn spoke. The group looked to her then back to Fandral, who looked at Sigyn. "And I am not one to bring her up unless you want to speak her name. I do know her whereabouts, however."
Will he just say the name already, Loki was getting tired of his dramatic acts.
Do you not like the dramatic show, tis quite your style, Sigyn spoke to him.
I do, its more fun for me, I seem to have a gift of dramatization,Loki crossed his arms.
"Since you already know who I am speaking about, I will just say her name," Fandral sighed. "Sigyn."
Loki looked over to him as well as Thor and Sif.
"You met with her?" Thor was shocked.
"Yes. Three seasons to get to know her was not enough," Fandral sighed. "Her fiery red hair and emerald green eyes took me by the strings of my heart. I have not seen any other maidens like her."
"Though, you were young," Volstagg laughed. "How could you know love already?"
"I cannot believe you know Sigyn," Thor spoke again. "I have missed Sigyn." He looked to Sif then to Loki. "We have all missed Sigyn."
"Wait how do you know her?" Fandral was taken aback.
"She grew up with us, here in this castle. It was us four against the realm. She then left with her parents one night, never to be seen or heard from again and you are saying you met her?" Thor looked over to him.
"Yes, she had traveled from quite the distance. Her parents rested for three seasons, and traveled away again. Glut can you tell us more about her?" Fandral looked to her.
"Aye, I can," she could feel the presence of all them wanting to know. "I do not know the purpose for her leaving of the castle but in her early womanhood she joined the Valkyrior. I have went on several quests with her to retrieve fallen warriors. She was wanting to escort me on my journey here. Tis was not allowed. Sigyn stayed, and I came alone. Plans of trying to see here are futile. She has taken up teaching those to become Valkyrior."
Everyone knew that those who become mentors of Valkyrior will not ever be seen from the rest of the realms.
Sigyn Loki thought in a whisper. Always willing to teach those in need. Tis not a surprise she has become a Valkyrior. She has a kind heart.
"Is she still so ever beautiful?" Fandral asked. His heartbreaking.
"Aye," Sigyn replied.
"Tis good that she became a warrior," Sif smiled. "It would have been great to fight along with her. Is she still the same?"
"Quite so," Sigyn smiled. "A joyful smile when faced with a grim situation."
Does she remember us? Loki asked. Loki actually wanted to know if she remembered him.
"She remembers all of you," She looked to each one that knew her.
"Brother, she is well," Thor looked at him. The rest followed, except Sigyn. "Tis was nice to have teams against one another."
Twas nice, but she might have stopped some of my mischief or at least partake in it, Loki looked out to Asgard.
"Twas nice," Sigyn replied.
"He said more didn't he?" Thor asked.
"Aye, but I don't believe tis my authority to say everything," Sigyn knew that Fandral would get jealous. The outcome would not be helpful for either of the two.
"Loki has feelings for Sigyn," Fandral said it more as a statement then a question. He was surely surprised and a bit jealous. Loki looked to him with masked emotion.
Tell him, as she was my dear friend, of course I would, Loki spoke. Sigyn could tell he was trying to stay calm. He was trying to setup a trap for Fandral to step into.
"As any dear friend of her's would," Sigyn replied. All in the wording Loki. You take a step in that direction, you will be sent back six.
"I don't believe that is how my brother would say it," Thor spoke. He rubbed his chin. "We must be lucky to have Glut here. She is stopping fights before they ever begin."
"I know what Loki would say," Fandral challenged. "Already taking her into your side." He meant Sigyn was his.
Of course she is. Glut, no matter how you say it, I will always get my way, Loki gave a small smirk that hurt him a bit.
Ha! Sign laughed at his little bit of pain. She knew that it was karma for him. We will see about this.
"A fight will not commence from either of you. Do not underestimate my abilities. Sigyn belongs to herself and the Valkyrior. Your ideas of wooing or friendships cease to exist. To see her again, will only count in death, which you might not even get the chance to see a Valkyrior or even her. Your chance is minimal." Sigyn spoke. "She is not a maiden to conquest but a maiden of conquest."
"If I did die, right now, in a great battle against Loki or Thor or whoever, am I worthy enough and would you guide me to Valhalla?" Fandral was quick to get over Sigyn and tried to woo Glut.
Sigyn looked at him with her Valkyrior skills. "Your death against Loki would not allow you to Valhalla, nor would against Thor or any others on the intent to get into Valhalla. And if you ever did, I would not carry you to Valhalla, for I am unable to take on that task right now."
"I bet you are very beautiful underneath of that," Fandral spoke. The rest rolled their eyes. Fandral was being Fandral again. "You are a Valkyrior, I have heard rumors of your beauty and casting upon the beauty of Brunhilde suggest tis true."
"Flattery only gets you so far, Fandral," Sigyn shot down his remarks. "I am not one to fall for your antics."
The rest laughed, well Loki tried. Inside he was laughing. Glad there is another one that sees through his charm.
"She will not fall like the rest," Thor spoke. "She is one of the best. Though, Glut you do sound extraordinary beautiful, you must be. I bet Fandral is jealous of Loki to have your constant company. The two of you must come to Harvest Celebration this coming week."
Loki gave Fandral a smug look. Fandral narrowed his eyes at him.
"I am not either a maiden to conquest. We will see how-" Odin chimed in.
I am with Heimdall, I demand to see both of my sons at the Harvest Celebration. I want to see how Loki interacts with others Odin sent her a thought.
"By decree of Allfather, we will be attending the Harvest Celebration," Sigyn spoke. Her voice trying not to crack in defeat.
Just like that? Its nice to know that you can be switched in a matter seconds Loki sneered.
You already walk a thin line, I advise you to stick to one side. Jumping back and forth like a Midgardian frog on lily pads, this will only end up by taking one of the sides away. Sigyn threatened.
I wonder which side I would end up on?Loki mused.
The one where you end up on the Island of Silence Sigyn didn't want to play with his tricks.
Loki looked at her with shock. The others looked at the two. You wouldn't?
I would. Loki this is not a game. You do not have to have everything your way or have it become mischievous.Sigyn looked at him. Deep down you are still a boy who wishes for acceptance. Your thoughts are not clear nor are some of your intentions.
