Loki's POV
It had almost been three hundred years since Loki had last seen you. He often visited Alagesia, but whenever he inquired about you the answer was always the same, you were training in Du i`lia abr Skulblakar. But that was not what hurt him. The fact that you never even tried to contact him was what broke his heart. He often wondered how you were, whether you thought about him as much as he did, whether you were happy there without him and most importantly if you still felt the same way as did all those years ago. That was what scared him the most, the thought of you moving on and finding someone else, falling in love all over again. In these moments he was jealous of Valdr, of the sunlight and the rain that touched your skin which were closer to you than he had ever been, of your friends there, jealous of the nights he did not spend with you , of anything or anyone that enjoyed your company and of the way you were happy (for you had to be happy, he was sure of it) without him. He spent many a sleepless night just thinking about all of this. After a while he just decided to stop pining after you, to move on. He was an Asgardian Prince, for Hel's sake, he could have any Asgardian maid, and he did but none of them could hold his attention for longer than a few days. None of them were you. Even your so called replacement Alana could not interest him long enough to have even a proper conversation. It frustrated and vexed him how much he missed you, how much he needed you. He often wished for your presence, for the sound of your voice, for your smile even tough he knew it was nothing but a waste of time but still he could not help it. He often wondered what looked like now all grown up, whether he would recognize you if he saw you now, whether you would recognize him. Least did he know that he would soon receive the opportunity to see you again.
Queen Arya was visiting Asgard with a few others and Loki could not help but be hopeful that you would come along with her, but his hopes were dashed to the ground when he could not find amidst the elven procession. He spent he rest of the day in a very gloomy mood, not even Thor could cheer him up.
Later during the party thrown in the honour of the elves (they were Asgardians, they threw a party for any and every reason they could find) Alana, the representative for her race in Asgar, you replacement, came and stood next to him.
" You don't seem to be enjoying yourself, any specific reason?" she asked.
" 'Tis none of your concern, my lady" he said the last bit with a sneer.
"Well it is my concern considering I have to tell (Name) how you are? She has been pestering me quite a while and since I no longer visited Asgard I could no longer tell her what you were upto"
Loki was flabbergasted, (Name) asked Alana to keep track on him?
But why,why would she do something like this instead of just asking him.
Alana understandind what he was thinking said " Dragon riders are usually expected to leave everything behind and simply concentrate on their training, so naturally she could not contact you, but since I was a friend of hers and an Elf I could contact her, so naturally she asked me to make sure that you were alright."
"But why did you not tell me anything?"
" Because she told me not to. She did not want you to think her indifferent that she would talk to you herself but rather through a medium. Tell me Loki would you not have felt this way?"
Loki knew what she was saying was true, so he asked her "After all these years why tell me now?"
"Because I have something to give to you" and with that she handed him a letter and walked away. Him name was wriiten on top with black ink in Asgardian script with a beautiful handwriting. He opened the letter and saw that it was from you. The letter was as follows :
Dear Loki,
Atra esterni ono thelduin. I know it has been ages since you have last heard from me, but know that you have never left my mind.
I send this letter by the hands of my dear friend Alana. She has always made sure you were safe on y behest and also kept from you that I always inquired about your wellbeing so please do not be angry on her. She did what she did because I asked her to. Anyway the main reason I am writing this letter is to tell you that I have requested mother to allow you, Thor, Sif and Fandral to visit Du i`lia abr Skulblaka (the place where the riders are trained) and she would be putting forward this request to the Allfather soon so I would suggest that you agree to this proposition be he denies it.
I look forward to seeing you Loki for I have missed you. You shall always be in my heart. Give my well wishes to Thor and may the fates always be with you. Also Valdr says hello.
Yours without wax,
(Name)
Loki immediately went to stand beside Odin with Thor, the letter safely hidden. He was luckily on time as Queen Arya was talking about it to his father "…... and I think it would quite an educational trip for them specially Loki as he would be able to learn about Alagesian magic, plus I know quite a few dwarven warriors who would be more that happy to train with Thor and not to mention Lady Sif would have a good time there with the female warriors of our kind"
"I agree with her majesty Father, it would certainly be a very interesting experience for all of us" Loki elbowed Thor who also said "Yes Father I think so as well". Luckily Loki's mother Frigga was on his side and said "I believe it would be a enriching experience for both of them and considering that one them has to take the throne in the future it would be good for both of them to know as much as they can about our allies"
"Alright you four can go, but only as long as you promise not to cause any mischief or any problems for your hosts"
"We promise" Thor and Loki said in unison.
"Very well then we shall leave in three days, I suggest you pack whatever you require." Queen Arya said.
Later in Loki's chamber Thor asked Loki "What was that all about brother?"
"(Name) sent me a letter saying that her mother Queen Arya , would be talking to father about this on her request so that we can visit Du i`lia abr Skulblakar"
"But where is that place ?" Thor asked.
"It is where (Name) has been training for all these years and she wanted us to visit"
"Are you sure brother that she wanted ALL OF US to visit or was it just you?" Thor asked Loki with lopsided grin on his face.
"Please do not talk like a moon adled fool Thor" Loki admonished, although on the inside he wished she was doing all of this to see him again. But then he remembered what you said in the letter, about how you missed him and how he would forever be in your heart gave him peace.
Afterwards when Thor left Loki thought about how he had chased after Asgardian women to forget you when you remembered and loved him for all these years. He felt guilty thinking about how you talked your mother into allowing them to visit a place that not even the elves where allowed to visit. From what he had garnered during his visits to Ellesmera he came to know that none but the riders, people who were bonded with dragons, the Queen, the best spellcasters of Du Weldenvarden who were chosen to train beginners and people who had special permission from the leader of the riders were allowed to visit Du i`lia abr Skulblaka and all but the riders and the queen (as she too was a rider) knew where the island was, the rest were made to forget the exact location of this place. So he understood how much work you had to go through to arrange this and he loved you all the more for it.
You once told him that the hearts of Asgardians just like humans were very fickle and someday he would move on from while she would be stuck with a broken heart and painful memories, and Loki had proven you correct. He almost forgot about you and had he allowed it his parents would have already have him affianced with a princess of another realm. He felt guilty just to think how faithful you had been to him and how "footloose and francy-free" he had been for all these years.
He fell asleep that night with your letter clutched in his hand and he dreamt you.
Next morning at breakfast he did not see his mother. When he asked his brother about it he said she had some work to do that was why she was not here. Loki did not much attention to that matter later on as he was too busy thinking about how in 2 days he would be seeing you again.
