Thanos, a titan of evil who lead the Chitauri, paced back and forth waiting for someone to show. He had called himself Other in Loki's presence. After a few minutes of waiting, a being appeared. He was half blue and the other black. His hair was long with curls of white and gold. It was Malekith the Accursed, ruler of the Dark Elves of Svartalfheim.
"Malekith," Thanos growled. "I have been waiting."
"Wait no more," Malekith smiled. "I have reviewed our bargain and have come up with a new one."
"And what is it?" Thanos crossed his arms.
"The Tesseract can be yours along with some of the realms, except Asgard, Svartalfheim and Jotunheim. The Casket of Ancient Winters is mine along with the Twin Flame and we must get Loki on our side again." Thanos smiled.
"Loki is mine!" Thanos roared. "He is to wish for pain when I am through with him."
"No, Loki shall be with us," Malekith stood his ground. "He can't work alone. He's tried twice and failed. The third time he will have help from us. Once we use him then you can have him."
"But I gave him all that he needs," Thanos fumed.
"Yes, but you let him rule. Not a wise decision," Malekith advised. "You gave him the perfect idea of letting him think he was the ruler then you were going to take over him, but he couldn't finish the job. My plan is to use him as our little minion. We let him think that it is a three way of ruling, but it's only two. He will show us where our precious gifts lie. We will also tell him that we will get what he desire's most."
"How can he, when he is under that Valkyrior's power?" Thanos mused.
"Oh there is a way," Malekith looked around. "Make the Valkyrior believe he is ready and worthy to unleash him from his cage."
"Hmm. And what is it that you want with this Twin Flame?" Thanos wondered. "I have heard of her, but what exactly is she?"
"I want her as my bride," Malekith stopped and smiled. "She has powers that are unmatched by many. Once I have her, I can rule over Jotunheim very easily and it will be easy to take over Asgard as well as Midgard."
"How will you get Loki then? The Valkyrior watches him," Thanos tried to see all of the plan.
"In his dreams," Malekith winked. "Do you agree to this bargain?"
"Yes," Thanos smiled. "Let the preparation begin."
Weeks of passed and it was the day of April Fool's. Sigyn was going to take Loki one last time to Midgard to show him about the humans.
I'm beginning to believe that you love Midgard, Loki mused as the two went into Manhattan again.
Yes. It is an interesting realm. Sigyn gleamed. Now, you have always been jealous of Thor, especially when he had his own day.
Yes, Thorsday or the equivalent Thursday is annoying Loki was annoyed.
You shouldn't be, for today in Midgard tis April Fool's Sigyn smiled. A day filled of mischief and trickery. A day all to Loki.
I seem to not remember this day, Loki looked around and viewed those that played tricks upon one another. The two of them sat in an area where there were a lot of trickery afoot. This made Loki happy, to see those playing foolery amongst one another. Especially those that were quite witty with their tricks.
Even the Avengers fall into this foolery Sigyn showed the scenes of Tony pranking the group.
After the day was coming to an end, the two went the back to Asgard. Loki had thoughts of excitement and how that there was a day for him.
That night while sleeping, Malekith appeared in Loki's dream. They were in a black castle. Loki's mouth was not sewn shut.
"Loki," his voice whispered. "I am Malekith the Accursed, and I have a proposition for you."
"As you can see, I am useless for such propositions," Loki crossed his arms.
"Do you not remember the Other and the Chitauri?" Malekith stepped closer. Loki narrowed his eyes. "Aww you still do. Have you forgotten that they are waiting in the shadows, waiting to bring you the promise of pain?"
"I have not forgotten," Loki mused. "What is it that you want?"
"Just for you to make a deal with me," Malekith shrugged his shoulders. "It includes your chance at ruling Asgard and Jotunheim or if you want, to finish destroying it. Along with getting what you desire most. What do you desire most Loki?"
"What would I have to do?" Loki wanted to know everything before making a final decision.
"Just to become free once again, help us to find the Tesseract, the Casket of Ancient Winters, and the Twin Flame. Once, you have helped in all three, you are allowed to rule over those realms once we are done and have all of your desires," Malekith taunted.
"Hmmm. Sounds delightful, but I feel that it won't work," Loki thought. "Gaining leadership of realms doesn't fill my need anymore."
"And what does?" Malekith questioned. "Being free? This Valkyrior? She will do her duty then leave you. She will leave just like the rest. She doesn't harbor anything. Still want to be a ruler? Then you must remember it is always lonely at the top. With my guidance we can get everything you have desired. Come, Loki, what is it that you desire?"
Loki smiled. "I desire a Valkyrior."
"Oh?" Malekith was surprised.
"But not this one, I desire Sigyn and a realm to keep her in," Loki added on. "I accept your proposition, only on one condition."
"And what is that?" Malekith was curious.
"That I get Asgard, and it shall not be attacked ever again," Loki stood his ground.
Malekith smiled. "We have a deal."
Sigyn watched his dreams. She felt so betrayed and disappointed with herself. Was her lessons not enough? He was coming along so great. One act of propositions and he is back to where he started. Once the dream was done. She went Odin's mind and told him everything she knew.
It was hard for her the next days, she made it seem as if she had never knew about Loki's deal with Malekith. It was easy for Loki not to really think of what he was scheming. Although once they heard about battles in the other realms from the Chitauri and the Dark Elves, it had gotten harder for him.
Thor, Sif, and the Warrior Three went off to help in battle while Loki and Sigyn stayed.
Why must we stay, we can help? Loki asked.
You know why we cannot go, Sigyn answered. Your thoughts have become dark once again Loki. Who has visited you? She knew but she wanted to hear it from him.
I have grown weary of this persona of myself. It is too weak and looked down upon. I wish to have what I desire Loki looked over to her.
A guard showed up to them. "Heimdall wishes for your presence." The two headed to him not thinking another word.
"What is it Heimdall?" Sigyn asked.
"Thor has asked for your assistance on Svartalfheim. You must go to him, both of you." Heimdall demanded. The two agreed and were shot to Svartalfheim.
There they met Thor and the gang in a battle against the Dark Elves. There they helped in the fight until Malekith came.
"Kill the rest except for Loki and the Valkyrior!" He exclaimed. Waves of Dark Elves hit the group.
Loki grabbed Sigyn. We will be safe. Let them die.
Never! Loki you take this step and you will go back six. I will not allow this. She then used her mind to fling back the waves for miles.
"Come, into the woods," Sigyn tugged Loki while the rest followed. "In order for our safety, Sif you must become me. You will then call Heimdall to take you back." Sigyn then thought to her about how Loki has fallen into his old self. The two then quickly changed. Sif looked like Sigyn and Sigyn wore her celebration attire.
You had that underneath? Loki mused.
I always had it underneath. One more layer and I am in my Valkyrior. Sigyn told a half truth. There was another layer above her Valkyrior. It was her Jotunheim attire. Oh Loki, Loki Loki. Do not fall under his delights. He is just using you.
Do not put forth more of your fables into my mind. I grow restless of these fantasies. I will never be the good that you and the rest seek. I am only mischief alone. I am accepted by no one. Once I rule, I shall create my acceptance. I don't need your help unless it is by taking over them. Loki thought.
"Heimdall! Take Thor and the gang back, leave Loki and I here." Sigyn yelled.
"No!" Thor and the gang called as they were brought back to Asgard.
"I will not help you go back into the deep Hell you put yourself through," Sigyn tried to tell him. "My heart breaks with this madness. You must stop!"
Ha! I have no feelings back to you. I only want Sigyn and since I have the means of getting her, I shall so endure them. Loki thought.
Sigyn could see the looming images of Malekith's visit in his mind.
"Seek all you want, but no one else knows the whereabouts of the Twin Flame besides me. And Sigyn will never come to you for I also know where she is. I will protect the realms by letting you free." Sigyn stood her ground.
I will find them without you Loki laughed.
No, you won't. Sigyn sighed. She stepped closer to him. Her right hand held his face while her thumb grazed his lips from left to right. The thread balled into her thumb and freed Loki's mouth. It was astonishing to him. She then put the thread onto his wrist. To always remember what you have done. Sigyn took a step back. You might have thought you were a monster and though that you will never be fully good like the rest. I viewed your darkness a shade to the ever bright light. I thought of you as an equal. I accepted you. Don't let your mind ever swade your heart. Sigyn touched her heart. She smiled a closed lip smile as she turned to stone. It was the hardest of stones that could not be broken by anything even when sent to a sun.
With one last glimpse of her, she was drew up by Heimdall and dispersed into Midgard. Loki was left there staring at her empty spot and touching his lips. He felt for a second that it was a mistake.
