Slipping passed the Gate Keeper and the Golden realm was easier than the first time Loki had done it and it was also for a new reason. To be honest the patches of memories were helping but not much. All of them were great spaces of time ripped between them making Loki confused of what was happening now and what was had already happened.
Carefully hiding in the shadows Loki made his way around slowly heading towards the Palace. A wave hit him making Loki stumbled a little having to hold onto the wall. The memories where come back way too fast. It was clear he would have to find a place to sit down until all the memories stopped flying into his find.
Sneaking into an old house, one most likely deserted given it's condition, Loki made his way to the basement where is was nice and cool. Sitting down he breathed slowly. This realm was much too hot for a Jotun. Looking around he stared at the basement for a short while before hearing foot steps outside on the streets.
Peeking out of the small window there he watched a some Warriors marching. They must have been heading towards the palace. Pulling as much magic as he could Loki took the form of a cat and slipped out of the window following them as quietly as he could dangerous since he had used much too hastily moved from one realm to another.
Another wave hit making him fall nearly fainting at a rather painful memory. Trying not to think on it Loki forced himself up to continue following. Swallowing Loki picked up speed and once he got to a road he knew he left the Warriors heading his own way. Finding the square empty Loki got out of the cat form unable to kept it anymore. Now if he remembered correctly there was a house not too far from here that belong to him. Just had to run there quickly and-
Bam!
Loki had ran right into someone and they had hit hard knocking them both to the ground. Hitting hard and knocking the breath out of him Loki gasped for air and the suddenly realization that an Aesir saw him and he jumped up and took out a dagger ready to attack.
"Loki!"
"Thor?!"
"Brother!"
"Gaah! Thor… cannot… breath."
Thor quickly let go of his Brother no realizing that he was crushing him. "Apologizes… Tis good to see you!"
Loki was pulled back into another hug but not as crushing as it was before. Hugging back Loki closed his eyes as memories of his brother slipped more into place reminding him of the bond they had. Relaxing in the hold Loki was remind of when they were children and he had fallen off a tree landing hard and Thor had been there to comfort him.
The sweet moment was short lived when someone screamed. "It's Prince Loki!"
What?
Loki pulled back and nearly had a heart attack. "My skin! It's changed!"
"It back to normal. I mean, back to that of Aesir."
"It's disgusting." Loki frowned rubbing his arms. "I don't like it but at least it's not as hot anymore…."
Just than guards started coming near them and Thor grabbed onto Loki telling him to hold on and used Monjir to fly them into the sky and away from the guards and landed them on a roof top. Thor let go to look around Asgard. It almost completely empty.
"This is bad," Loki said still rubbing his arms. "Where is everyone?"
"I do not know, brother. I have just gotten back from Midgard."
"Thor, I don't remember everything but I do know I can trust you. Where is my Bera?"
Turning back to his brother Thor frowned. "What?"
Sighing Loki stopped rubbing his arms. "Odin had taken King Laufey captive and I am here to get him back."
"Laufey?" Thor frowned deeply. "He is here?"
"You did not know?" Loki asked confused.
"Loki,,, Hurry me must get to the palace!" Thor reach over and grabbed him hold on!"
"Thor…!" Loki screamed as they shot of into the sky. "Do not drop me or I shall skin you like a beilsnaipe!"
"I have missed you too, Brother!"
"Watch out for that building you olf!"
The cup that they were constantly pressing against his lips was tempting but Laufey kept refusing to drink and it angered the healer. It was the main on Eir. It was Odin's second in command of the healing arts. Odin's daughter from another woman. Laufey didn't want to drink the water. He knew there was something in it, however the burning pain in his throat was wearing him down.
She continue dot press the cup against his lips. "It would be easier for you to drink this."
Laufey said nothing. He knew very well what she wanted. She wanted him to open his mouth when he talked. However it had been at it for an hour and the more she stayed the more tempted Laufey was to drink the water. Also he mused at Odin's choice of picking this one child.
Everyone knew that Odin had children out of the marriage. All Daughters from common women around Asgard. Of course Odin didn't' claim them as his own. That would be allowing them into the royal family and also that all would know that he was disloyal to the Queen. However all knew that the Queen did know about it, so Odin would bring them in to work around the palace.
"Come on, now." She said. "It is just water."
Laufey ignored her trying to focus on anything else. Mostly his family. How he missed them greatly and hoped they were well. Also Laufey hoped they wouldn't see him get sacrificed. Thinking about it he looked at the water. He could possibly use the water but he had to be careful. One wrong move and it could be all over.
Opening his mouth slowly he took in some water seeing her smirking than spit it out quickly turning them into small shards hitting her in the face successfully blinding her. She screamed dropping the cup. Summoning up the water he shaped them into fine ice sharpened blades and flew them forward cutting off the chains. Falling to the floor Lafey forced himself up.
There was only a few minutes to get out of there. Running to a door off to the side that the woman had come from She left it open. Where all of Odin's children fools? Running into it he closed the door locked it and looked around seeing it was a storage room. Walking over to another door he listened for anything on the other side. Nothing.
Opening it he saw a set of stairs. Rushing up them Laufey stopped when he heard a familiar sound of water. Leaning against the way he heard the floor. Standing back he pause before pulled forth the water from the water surrounded himself in the cool water relived and gulped down coolness feeling a great weight lift off of him.
Though shortly lived Laufey pulled the water compacting it into a tight median ball. A good thousand gallons held within the ball. Running up the stairs he broke the door opened with a lash of water. Running down the hall he killed some guards along the way. Politics? After what Odin done it was as good a war.
As he ran Laufey cursed his new height. It would take time for the spell to ware off. However if he got back to Jotunhime Frabuti would easily remove it. This spell wasn't meant to keep him locked this way and each movement made his bones ache contently. And at this height he couldn't move faster than he should have been able to.
Someone jumped in front of him causing him to pause. "Bladur Odinson-"
"LOKI…!"
"Unhand me fool!" Laufey blasted him with water sending him flying.
Baldur landed on his feet. "Why did you do that, Loki? That hurt!"
" Idiot." Laufey snorted and turned down a corridor. There had to be another way out of this place.
Just tan five Worriors came towards him. Summoning up the water he shot at them as they charges. Using the water as whips he knocked some of them downa dn other he tossed them out the windows. He couldn't get to close the way he was. The heat was still bearing down him and to be honest Laufey was amazed he could use this much ice magic let alone any at all. Before he could gather more out of the water ball something came down hitting him hard on the arm, luckily not breaking it but there was going to be heavy bruising.
Yelling in pain as he fell to the floor Laufey cursed Odin thinking this was it when a massive axe came down on a Warrior. Shocked he looked to see who it was. To add to the shock it was Baldur Odinson and Laufey frowned.
'Do not tell me he still thinks that I am-'
"Run, Loki!"
'-Curse my life.' Laufey finished standing and took off. 'Best not waste this.'
"Are you mad?!" Buri screamed. "That kind of magic would revile all of us!"
Helbindi stood there near the ruins. Not close enough for the Gate Keeper to see nor hear them but close enough as he was making his finally decision. There was huge one to be made. One that was disable the spell that kept the Gate Keeper from seeing their land.
The only way they could cross the bifrost was to disable it, use its power to force open the bridge and march into Asgard and take back their stole King. It was risky but Helbindi was sure it was the right thing to do. However with Buri telling him it wasn't he began to doubt.
"It is needed to be done."
"No. You would risk our whole realm!"
"I am protecting the realm!"
"No you are not!" Buri threw he hands up. "You would risk us all! Not only would the King forbid this and you know he would, but you insist on ricking everything for a small born Jotun raised as an Aesir!"
There was a stun silence from the crowd that was waiting. Luckily Frabuti was nowhere in sight as he was near the bifrost gate with an army. However Helbindi was at lost for word. Before he could say anything Ali came forward swiftly and brought her fists up and bring them down on Buri knocking her out.
"Ail!"
"I'm sorry, Helbindi!" Alie said but stood firm. "However you must do what you know is right! Family is valued above all else in Jotunhime and as the King it is your duty not onlt to the realm but your family to bring both of them back home safely."
Helbindi looked at her for a moment before nodding. "You are right, Ali. Thank you."
Smiling softly Ali nodded. "You welcome, My King. I shall return and watch over the others."
"Ali!"
She turned back around wondering what he wanted.
"Thank you."
Ali smiled.
"Stop right there!"
A whip of water silenced the Warrior as he came forth. Ten more around, four more advancing. Too many at one time and not enough water left. Laufey knew he would have to find some more so or it would be back to the prison.
More water, more time, something he had neither of. Time was running out.
There was a loud rumble of thunder and Laufey cursed and turned to see Odin standing there. 'Damn.'
"Did you think you would get away? Today is the day you die."
Laufey was trapped.

To I-Know-Love-Hurts-2010: Laufey may or may not be saved. D8
To Ireland-Ranger: lol
To Thay-Logyn: XoxO
To fan girl 666: Laufey is strong. Some people seem to think he's weak for some odd reason.
To jaquelinelittle: All Thor needs to do is try and think of where he wants to be. That's all. Lol quantum physic would take to long to learn and besides the Avengers would be dead by then.
To Sonya-Valentine: Randomly, and some of them painfully.
