My dearest readers... The end to this story comes soon. But there will be sequels. The next chapter will be the end of this one and you will have to go to my sequel. I will begin the sequel as soon as this story is done.
Thanks to my faithful readers. You're the best:)
Gunslinger21: I just realized how much it can hurt to miss someone. I'm so glad we met, our friendship is beautiful and so many things remind me of you. I often think of what we never accomplished. But then I think of what we did accomplished! Thankyou for being a faithful reader and reviewer, and sticking with me:)
SorceressSupreme: Thanks! Really I'm glad I have a sister and a friend that is as close to me as you:) Stephen will return!
Animation Imagination: You are an awesome friend, and even though we've never met in person I'm glad we are able to talk to each other and be friends:)
Foxam12: You are awesome! From your gazzilion animals to... YOU! Thanks for everything:)
''Odin.'' Darcy said, trying to remain calm and composed, even though her heart was pounding and she was afraid for the man she had grown to love. Who was currently bound head to toe in shackles, Thor standing behind Loki's chair.
Darcy gave him a small smile, feeling exposed and vulnerable in her Asgardian gown she had borrowed from Jane. The gown itself was gorgeous; blue satin with a silver trim, it was Jane who was the problem.
''Omg! How could you leave without telling anyone? That man is a lunatic! And you want to defend him?'' Jane had screamed. Her friend had given Darcy the easy punishment, Thor suffered more than anyone, and Darcy could tell that he wouldn't get some TLC (tender loving care) for a long while.
Odin's strong voice boomed into Darcy's head, breaking her train of thought.
''Thor. I think you can leave us now.'' Odin said, looking at her thoughtfully.
''But father-''
''Go.''
Thor sighed, but left after his father gave him a very stern look.
''Now that my son is gone, I am going to ask you some questions... Darcy from earth.'' Odin spoke to her slowly, and Darcy felt her unease fading away. Odin was not a fool like his son, he wouldn't focus on what appeared to be, he focused on what was the truth. ''Why do you love my son?''
Darcy's eyes widened, and she felt taken aback. She hesitated, choosing her words wisely. ''Because everyone sees him as a traitor, I see him as he truly is.''
''And what is he?''
''Misunderstood... And despised.''
''I don't despise him, only my son does.''
''And everyone else in Asgard.'' Darcy's anger was returning, and she struggled to keep herself composed.
''Why do sheep fear a wolf?''
''Because a wolf eats sheep?''
''Because a wolf was designed to find itself food, and keep itself and it's family alive... That doesn't mean the wolf is evil, it means it is meant for something in this world.''
''Are you saying Loki is designed to be hated and never know love?!'' Darcy was angry now.
''No. Loki can change. Now, why did he teach you magic?'' Odin replied, looking at Loki who was still bound in his chair.
''Becauswe I was infected by demon poison, and he had to teach me so that I could control my powers'' She cringed at having to say 'control', she never controlled Aradani, or her brothers.
''How were you poisoned?''
''We went on an adventure. There were risks, and danger is granted if you want to have fun.'' Darcy spoke quickly, wishing Odin would just say they could leave and everything was great.
Odin frowned, but didn't ask her anything more about their little trip. ''I can't just let him go without punishment. Thor want him dead, Jane wants his lips sewn together, and all the people of Asgard already don't like him. What do you suggest I do?''
''Let him go. Banish him to earth like Thor. I could take care of him.'' Darcy suggested, knowing that idea was very farfetched.
''That isn't a very good punishment. That's more of a gift. Where is the Sorcerer Supreme?''
''Stephen?!"' Darcy asked, how did this old guy know everything? ''He left before we came back to Asgard.''
''I need to talk to him and then I can make my decision. If he testifies against Loki, Loki will be executed, if not, Loki will be banished to earth for 3000 years.'' Odin gestured for some guards to take Loki to his cage and looked at Darcy sadly, ''I do hope the atter of the two choices happen.''
