"Where's Loki?!" Your head went crazy. He was gone.
"Y/N. Y/N! You need to calm down." Thor tried holding you in place but you kept fighting him. You heard the news around the palace. Loki was gone. Odin had told him the truth. He wasn't Asgardian blood. He couldn't be king. "Thor I need to get to him."
"You can't Y/N. Loki is long gone. We shall send out search parties in order to find him. You need to stay here. You need to be here if he comes back."
You stared at Thor straight in the eyes. "And what will that say? That I never even tried to look for him? If he comes back and I'm not here he'll at least know I'm looking for him. He can find me." And it was true. If you were willing to go to the ends of the earth to find him, he would go to the ends of the earth to find you. Thor held your gaze, but his expression softened. He knew what you meant more than anyone in the palace. A future Asgardian king in love with a mortal Midgardian who would never stop looking for him. Thor's grip soften, but he still held on.
"I will go with you." He offered "I know my brother just as well as you do. If we go together, we will have a better chance at finding him."
Thor's kindness made you smile, but you knew that would never work. "Thor, you are the future king of Asgard. A king has responsibilities he must uphold to maintain order in his kingdom. Going with me would only make matters worse. Besides, you have your own love to take care of." You smiled. Thor knew you were right. You were so glad he understood.
"If you're going to find Loki, you at least need to get an idea of where he is. Follow me."
You followed Thor into the council room. Odin was hovered over a table displaying a map of all the kingdoms. Odin caught eye of you and Thor and immediately raised his defenses.
"Who gave authorization into this room?"
"We did your majesty. We'd like to help in finding Loki." You said confidently. Unfortunately your confidence was not appreciated by Odin.
"Please leave this room. This is no matter for a woman."
You bit your lip and moved on. "With all of your respect, your highness, I believe I can help. Loki is not exactly happy with you or Thor right now and if you send guards after him it will only make matters worse. I can reason with-"
Odin cut you off with a mocking laughter. "You think you can reason with Loki? He's not the same man you fell in love with my dear. Power has taken over his mind and there is no stopping him."
You thought about what Odin was saying. You knew what he was true. Loki had always dreamed of being king ever since the two of you were young. It was his dream, and now it was shattered.
"You're right. But someone has to stop him. If no one does he will destroy kingdoms and hurt many people. If you won't allow me to stop him then who will?" You didn't know how Odin was going to react. He stopped what he was doing and turned to face you.
"My dear if you go after Loki, I can't guarantee your safety. As I said, Loki is a changed man. He will do anything to have control."
"It's a chance I'm willing to take." You didn't care. You loved Loki too much and he loved you back. Even in his mad raid for power, under the darkness that had consumed him, somewhere he loved you. There was too much history and love to ignore it.
"If you truly believe you can stop him, you have my permission. Loki is of Jotunn decent. We do not have a certain location of where he is currently at, but the events of earlier this evening have lead us to believe he is in Jotunheimen to find answers. Unfortunately no one can survive there. The cold is unbearable for anyone to go there unless you are of course a Jotunn "
You wouldn't accept that. "There has to be a way I can go there."
"I'm sorry. Even my wife's magic cannot help you there."
You took a moment to brainstorm. Then a thought came to you. You left the room and headed outside the palace.
"Y/N where are you going?" Thor asked as you headed outside the palace.
"I'm going to find Heimdall."
