The great golden doors were always painfully slow to open. It was so that the whole castle could be alerted and if the need be , the doors could close swiftly. Everyone was surprised to find the doors being opened. But no one was as surprised as King Odin and I Thor. This was the time of mourning for the lost! We ran to the gate to see what was so important. I ran ahead of my father, for he was old and could not run for long. I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw who was beyond the doors.
My father came to a huffing stop. I almost ran to meet my brother and embrace him in a huge bear hug. Since I can control myself, and I didn't what else to do, I said, "Brother.", it came out barley a whisper. I almost collapsed in a crumpled heap right there, when Jane walk out from behind Loki. I did run up and enclose her in a hug.
"Oh, I missed you so much.", we both said at the same time.
"Ugh." said Darcy
"Oh, your just jealous. Don't worry you will find the perfect guy for you." said Jane.
They might never know that Darcy thought the perfect guy for her was standing next to her. They also will never know that she said ugh so she didn't need to watch all this lovey dovey stuff, for it pretty much tore out her heart and shredded into a million peaces, then slowly burned.
King Odin stood there watching the exchange curiously and speechlessly. Finally he spoke, when I guess he caught his breath. "Well, lets not stand outside all night." he said, eyeing Darcy. "For the return of my son and my other sons lover we will have a feast!"
Jane blushed at the lover part. I was overjoyed, never before have I been so happy! So we all went inside, I signaled for the door to be closed. Loki hung back always walking some steps behind, Darcy was a little behind us, running to catch up then hang back a little. They both looked sullen. We invited everyone in the kingdom, almost everyone came, if just to get out of the house.
It was very awkward, Darcy sat across from Loki. Jane and I almost didn't notice anything other than each other. I still saw Darcy and Loki looking at each other though. King Odin tried to talk and start up conversations, but everyone manly talked randomly. Everyone who could see, saw that Darcy would look at Loki, then when he looked up she looked down and he looked at her and the night for them went like that. After dinner, everyone went home. The king had servants show the girls to the room they would be staying in. Later that night, I just couldn't stand it, I went to Darcy's room. Right before I was going to knock Jane's door slowly came open. Then she came out.
"This, this isn't…" I tried to stutter.
"Shush, I know why you are here." she said, cutting my stutter off.
"You do?" I asked
"Why, of course. Unless there is another reason." she said, "I was going to see what was up with Darcy and Loki."
"That was why I am here. I should talk to Loki, and you talk to Darcy tomorrow. So as not to disturb them."
The next day Darcy always stayed with someone, never being alone, I know this because Jane told me. Loki was the same. We concluded that they must have figured out our plan. We decided to go on with our life's as normal. I showed Jane around and answered her almost impossible questions as best I could. Still neither Darcy nor Loki have been alone. Suddenly I had an idea. I dragged Jane away from our most irritating plant, witch she found fascinating. 'You known how Darcy and Loki have never been alone? Well, why don't we get them then take would be our chance to question them. Together or separately? I don't know."
"Ok, I guess that would work."
So the two set out to get them together or alone. They had been trying to get them alone for questioning for ten weeks before an opportunity came. Jane had been studying everything she can see, King Odin noticed this, he offered to take the four of them to a play.
I honestly thought something was up. He knows that Loki and I hate plays and I know that Darcy can't stand anything that's before the 21st century. She doesn't know who Elvis is, well I don't know who his is either, but I am from a different dimension. But Jane absolutely adores plays. She always wanted to be an actress when she was younger.
