Chapter 17
Loki arrives back on Asgard and the he went to Jotunheim, but he used his magic to hide himself from Heimdall. He was walking through the frozen wasteland and came up to Laufey's throne. The frost giant king was sitting on his throne. "Kill him." Laufey said
"After all I've done for you." Loki said.
"Ah. You're the one who showed us into Asgard." Laufey said.
"I was a bit of fun to ruin my brother's big day and protect the realm from his idiotic rule a while longer." Loki said.
"I will hear you." Laufey said.
"I will conceal you and a handful of you soldiers and lead you to Odin's chambers and you can slay him were he lies. Then I will return the casket to you and you can return Jotunheim to it's former glory." Loki said.
"I accept." Laufey said standing up from his throne. Then Loki left Jotunheim and arrived on Asgard. He went straight to Heimdall's observatory to speak with him.
"I wasn't able to see or hear you while you were on Jotunheim." Heimdall asked, but He and Loki didn't know that they were being watched.
"You think the Bifrost is the only way off Asgard. There are secret pathways that you are blind to and I know longer need of that I am King. For your act of treason, you are relieved of your duties as gatekeeper and no longer a citizen of Asgard." Loki said.
"Then I need no longer obey you." Heimdell said and then the was about to attack Loki. He took out the Casket and opens it freezing Heimdell. Dalia lets out a tiny scream.
"Dalia, what are you doing here?" Loki asked stammering.
"I saw you going back to the Bifrost and I wanted to see what you were doing, but you hurt Heimdall." Dalia said. Loki doesn't say anything unsure about what to say. Then he walked over and activated the Bifrost.
"What are you doing?" Dalia asked following then she frost giants coming through the Bifrost. She gasped scared and she began running, but was grab by a frost giant soldier.
"Let me go! Laowki, help me!" Dalia cried.
"Please don't hurt my sister." Loki said.
"Let me go." Dalia snapped while fighting her captor. The frost giant was about to hit her, Laufey stopped him, "Give the little Asgardian to her brother." He said. Dalia was released and ran over to her brother hiding behind him.
"Why are they here?" She asked.
Before Loki could answer, Laufey answered her question.
"Loki, please tell me it's not true?" Dalia asked. Taking a deep breath, Loki says it's true. Daila pushed him away.
"How could you." Dalia said then ran off to her mother and father's chambers.
"Dalia, come back!" Loki yelled.
Loki wanted to go after her. But, wasn't sure what to do so he and Laufey went to palace.
"Where is he?" Laufey asked about Odin.
"Odin is in his chambers in the Odin sleep." Loki said. Laufey then nodded and left to go to Odin's chambers.
Frigga is comforting her upset daughter and she is asking why she is upset, Dalia won't tell her mother why. They heard a sound in the hall and Frigga sees that the door is freezing.
"Dalia, hide and don't come out until I say so or come and get you." She said.
"Ok, mom." Dalia said and hides. Frigga grabs her husband's sword with is by the bed. Then the door shattered and she attacks Laufey, but the frost giant hit her knocking her down. Dalia sees that happen, but, stays where she is still scared and she began crying. She stifles her sobs then she heard Laufey speaking. Swallowing back her choked up voice, she listened. Suddenly Dalia heard Loki speaking she slowly lifted up the bed curtains then she saw Loki kill Laufey with Gungnir.
She immediately hid again. Frigga gets up and Loki goes to his mother, "Loki, you saved him." She said.
Frigga hugs her son and Loki hugs his mother back. "Mother, where is Dalia?" He asked.
"Dalia, sweetie, come on." Frigga said.
"Is it safe?" Dalia asked. Loki knelt down and he lifts the bed curtains, "Yes Dali, it's safe." He said holding out a hand to his little sister hoping she would take his hand.
"I'm scared of you." Dalia said backing up and further under the bed.
"Dali, please little sister, I'm sorry." Loki said.
"I won't hurt you. I would never hurt you. I love you." Loki adds.
"You promise Laowki?" Dalia asked.
"I promise." Loki said. Dalia crawls out from under her parents' bed. Loki takes Dalia's hand helping her up. She holds tightly onto Loki's hand.
"Loki!" A voice said. They all turn around to see Thor.
"Thor, I knew you would return to us." Frigga said and she ran to him hugging him.
Dalia, come say hello to me. Thor said. She goes to her elder brother and is picked up by Thor.
"Why don't you tell Mother and Dalia how you sent the Destroyer to kill our friends and me." Thor said.
"What?" Frigga asked shocked.
"Is this true." Dalia asked. Loki ignores his sister.
"It's good to have you back, but if you excuse me... I have to destroy Jotunheim." Loki said and he blasted Thor with Gungnir sending his brother flying through a wall he landed outside. Dalia had been quickly grabbed by her mother before Thor got blasted.
"Thor! Loki!" Dalia cried. She immediately ran after Loki.
"Dalia, come back sweetheart!" Frigga called. Ignoring her mother, Dalia kept running after her brother.
"Loki, wait for me." She called.
"Go back". Loki said.
"No, not until you tell why you hurt our brother." Daila said.
"I, I..." Loki stammers. Then Thor shows up.
"You're ok." Dalia said relieved.
"I'm fine Daila, go back to mother. I need to speak to our brother alone." Thor said.
"Mom's worried." Dalia said and she took off. Before Thor could say anything Loki starts up the Bifrost and he puts ice around the controls.
"You can't stop it. The Bifrost will build until it rips Jotunhiem apart." Loki said.
"Why have you done this?" Thor asked.
"To prove to father that I am the rightful heir to the throne. When he wakes I would have saved his life." Loki said.
"You can't kill an entire race." Thor said.
Where's this newfound love for the frost giants coming from?" Loki asked.
"I've changed." Thor said.
"So have I." Loki said and he hit Thor.
"Now fight me." He said.
"I will not fight you brother! Thor yelled.
"I'm not your brother. I never was." Loki said.
"Loki this is madness." Thor said.
"Is it? Is it? I don't know what happen to you on Midgard to turn you so soft don't tell it was that woman?" Loki asked.
It was. He gasped and said that he'll deal with her after they're done here. Thor began mad and he and Loki started fighting each other.
"Stop fighting." Dalia then appeared then screamed at the top of her lungs, but they weren't listening to her. Dalia screamed again louder, but they still aren't listening.
Dalia felt her anger rise and shouted louder and harder at her two brothers. She then stood between them and had her hands between them. Her brothers finally noticed at she here.
"Dalia!" They exclaimed in shock.
"Why are you two fighting?" Dalia asked. They weren't sure what to say.
"Your brothers and brothers aren't suppose to fight and hurts each other." Dalia said.
"Please stop fighting." Dalia adds.
"I am sorry Dalia but I have to stop Loki." Thor said and gently moves his sister aside.
"Don't hurt him." Dalia pleaded.
"Sweetie, I will do my best now please go it is not safe for you to be here." Thor said.
"No." Dalia said firmly.
"Dali, please go." Loki begged for he and Thor see that control are about to go.
"Ok." Dalia said reluctantly and she left. Before she could get away, there was a sudden blast.
"Thor! Loki!" Dalia cried and she was about to go back when she felt someone touch her shoulder. She looked up to see who touched her shoulder. "Daddy." Dalia said.
"Dalia, stay here and I will go and get your brothers." Odin said.
"Yes, daddy." Dalia said and Odin ran off to find his sons.
She is unsure about what to do. Then she saw her father and elder brother coming towards her, but she didn't see Loki with them.
"Where's Loki. Dalia asked running over." Odin said nothing, but Thor kneels down and wraps his arms around his little sister.
Where is he Thor?" Dalia asked again.
Thor took a deep breath, "I'm sorry Dalia, he is gone." He said sadly.
"You're, you're lying." Dalia stammered tears filling up.
"I wish I was Dalia, but it's true. Father saw it too." Thor said.
Dalia began to cry harder for her brother.
"Shh, There, there Dalia. Everything is going to be alright." Thor said.
"We should get back to the palace to let your mother know what has happened." Odin said.
"Of course father." Thor said and he picks up Dalia and they walk back to the palace. When they reached the palace Frigga came running out with a few of her handmaidens along with a couple of guards.
"Odin, what has happened?" She asked then Frigga saw Thor holding an upset and crying Dalia in his arms.
"Thor, what has gotten your little sister so upset?" she asked.
"Mother, I am sorry to tell you, but Loki is gone." Thor said sadly.
"What?" Frigga asked shocked then she looks at her husband.
"Odin, tell me what happened to my son?" She asked.
"He fell off of the Bifrost." Odin said.
"Thor, take your sister her chambers and please stay with her until I come." Frigga said.
"Of course mother." Thor said. He took his little sister to her chambers he sets her on her feet. Dalia ran to inside she grabs her stuff cat name Tauri that Loki gave her when she four. She climb on her bed and she laid on her tummy then she began crying into her pillow. Thor sat down next to her and he began rubbing her back.
"I miss him. Did he say anything about me?" Dalia asked.
"I know you miss. I miss him too. He said tell Dalia I am sorry and that love her so much." Thor said.
"Why did he let go?" Dalia softly asked.
"I don't know why Dalia." Thor said.
"I don't know why, but, for some reason, I feel like Loki's still alive. Don't ask how. It's just a feeling." Dalia said.
"I wish I could believe that Dalia." Thor said.
"Me too Thor." Dalia said.
