But after the chapter 9 you guys are going to have to wait a while. I only had up to chapter 9 prepared. SORRY! I feel bad but at least I got you all this AWESOME chapter. I think. READ AND REVIEW!
The next time Hiccup awoke he was not surprised to see himself in some strange bed in a strange room. What he was surprised about was that Loki was not at the other end of the bed, he wasn't even in the room as he scanned it. Just as he got up to search for Loki a door he had not noticed opened and out came the missing god.
His hair was wet indication he had taken a bath along with cloths that were, as the room and most of its contents, green. He was wearing a green and black shirt that had a slit at the top that was loosely threaded with loose black pants with a green outline of a dragon embroidered on them.
"I see you are awake. There is a bath in the other room. Once you finish, I will show you around Asgard." He then dug through a dresser drew and pulled out two three clothing items. "Here, when you finish, you can wear these. Your other cloths were a bit ruined but they will be repaired."
Hiccup took the cloths and walked into the bathroom. He set his cloths on a table by the door and took off his cloths and walked up to the bath. It was hug. He slowly began to get in. it was warm and it felt good on his aching body. He noticed there was a shelf that hung from the ceiling and dropped right next to the bath. The shelves were hanging over the water and was full of different soaps. He picked up each one until he found a scent he liked.
After he had finished washing he got out and began to look around for anything to dry himself off with. He noticed that on the wall next to the door there were more shelves with towels. He picked one up and was immediately in love with the softness of it. All of the towels on Berk were ruff and most of the time gave him a rash. But these towels were amazing.
He really wished he could stay here forever. Between the softness of the beds and towels, the big warm baths, and a dozen different soaps with scents he had never smelled before. This place had to be the greatest place ever.
Once Hiccup finished drying off, he went to the cloths that Loki had given him. There was a black shirt with long sleeves that went up to his knuckles. There was underwear and long black pants that he had to roll up so he could not step on them. He walked out to find Loki sitting at a desk reading a book. Loki looked up and meet Hiccup's eyes then smiled.
"You were in there for quite some time." Loki said, getting up and replacing the book on the bookshelf behind his seat at the desk.
"Yeah, that was an awesome bath." Hiccup said as Loki walked up next to him. Loki was only a few inches taller than him but his thin frame made him seem taller.
"Shall we take a tour of Asgard." Loki said, gesturing to the door. Hiccup nodded and they began to make their way out of the room.
They walked down a large corridor till they came to a giant room with a high ceiling. There was a throne a top stairs at the other end of the room.
"This is the throne room if you haven't already guessed that." Loki said.
Hiccup stared at the room causing Loki to chuckle and began to walk again, "This place could fit like a thousand people." Hiccup commented.
"Actually 2,450. Give or take a few." Loki corrected. They then walked out of the room and into another corridor that led to a beautiful garden. "This is Queen Frigga's personal garden. I used to play here as a young boy. Come we will go to the sparing rings." He said the last part with a bit of distain in his voice.
They walked down a path that led out of garden. From a distance, Hiccup could hear the sound of metal against metal. Most likely, from what Loki had said before, the noise was sword fighting. He was soon proven right as they came upon a wide dirt field with many people dueling each other either with sword or with their bare hands. They walked onto a patio that surrounded the training field. The patio's ruff was held up by beams to block out the sun for any onlookers but was otherwise open on the side that faced the field and a wall on another that the onlookers were leaning against.
"LOKI, so the silver-tongued snake has returned." A loud voice said from the field. Hiccup and Loki had stopped walking and looked out to were the voice had come from. A large red headed and bearded man accompanied by a fit looking brunet haired man who you could just tell got angry easily and blonde man who was walking up to them but had his eyes on a pair of woman at another place on the patio. Beside them was a woman with long black hair that was tied in a ponytail.
"He is not a snake, Volstagg." Said the Blonde man, "He is a dragon."
"Fandral, be nice. He was injured only just the other day." Said the woman, "How are you feeling today, Loki."
"I am fine, Lady Sif. You have no need to be too concerned about me. I would say go back to beating each other's brains but then I remember you don't have any brains." Loki said with a smirk on his face.
"Who's your friend? Most like the kid you been telling us about." The brunet man asked.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, he is. You are quite observant Hogun, would you like a cookie for your good work." Loki said and the three other warriors turned to Hiccup while Hogun narrowed his eyes at Loki but then reluctantly faced Hiccup.
"Hello, I'm Hiccup. It's a pleasure to meet you." Hiccup said waving at them.
"Hiccup, I think I have a cousin named Hiccup or is it a nephew. Could be a niece too. My sister was always so terrible at picking out names." The red haired man said, "Volstagg is my name. This is lady Sif, Hogun, and Fandral." He said gesturing to the other three who nodded at him as their name was called.
"When we saw you enter the field we came straight over." Fandral said, "We heard of your marvelous battle with the dragon on Midgard. You must tell us the details."
"Yes the beast must have been big to injure the mighty Liesmith." Lady Sif said, "Did he outwit you. Not even I have sustain so many injuries from fighting of a whole hoard of Jotuns."
"I beat the thing did I not and perhaps you do not wish to hear how I fought of the dragon from your fowl mouth." Loki said with a tone of superiority.
"We will just have Thor beat it out of you." Lady Sif said.
"I suppose you are too weak to do it yourself." Loki replied.
"As if. Thor has been talking none stop ever since you had arrived here about your epic battle against the monstrous beast and your heroic deed to save your companion." Lady Sif said, "Oh, there he is now. THOR, we have need of your assistance."
The scream caused Hiccup to wince at the loudness of her voice. Sure enough, Thor came up to the six. When his gaze fell upon Loki he began to advance in an attempted to hug his younger brother but Loki put his hand up.
"If you even so much as touch me, I will kick you somewhere that will hurt tremendously." As Loki said this, Thor began to back up till he was next to the Warriors Three and Lady Sif.
"So, my friends, what did you need from me?" Thor asked.
"We need you to make Loki tell us his battle with the mighty beast." Fandral said in an overly dramatic way.
Thor looked from his expectant friends to a narrowed eyed Loki. He really didn't want to make Loki tell him anything considering what Loki would do to him if he did.
"I am sorry my friends but Loki must be very tired from his injuries," he said.
"Actually, I am fine. My healing ability has completely fixed me." Loki said as his trademark smirk appeared on his face, "Don't disappoint your little friends now Thor or is it that are you afraid."
"How dare you think me afraid." Thor bellowed out. "I just do not wish to harm you."
"I would never hold anything against you Thor." Loki said in mock voice of care.
"Says the person who tried to kill his brother and destroy a world." Mumble Hogun and Loki's gaze fixed on him.
"What was that, Hogun? Did you say you would like to be a new pet rabbit, gifted for one of Fandral's swooning maidens." Loki said and Hiccup laughed but covered it up with a cough.
Hogun instantly looked away, remembering how Loki had turned Thor into a rabbit for a whole day, turning him back only after the queen had ordered him to. He doubted he would have the same kindness if Loki was to turn him.
"Perhaps tonight at the feast my brother would be willing to tell us." Thor said with a pleading face towards his brother.
Loki sighed, "Oh, alright. I will tell the story at the feast. I honestly do not know why you have a feast every time I come here."
"You are a prince. It is law that every time a prince returns home a feast must be held in their honor." Thor said with pride, forgetting his fear of being hit or magicked into some animal, "and it gives them a chance to tell their stories and retell the stories."
Volstagg then walked up to Hiccup and clapped him on the back, "I am sure this young Midgardian here had some impressive stories. I here Vikings are tough. How about a spar. I see that leg of yours. A fighting wound no doubt. I heard the story of how you had taken on the 5,000 foot tail dragon and how your leg was taken from you."
"5,000 foot, huh." Hiccup said, looking to Loki who casually turned his head as if looking at something in the far distance. No way was that dragon 5,000 feet. "Actually, I'm not really like most Vikings. I don't really like to fight, sorry."
"Would you look at that it's like a Midgardian Loki. Born into a race of fighters and doesn't know how to fight. Doesn't even like fighting." Volstagg said, "No wonder Loki finally found a friend."
Loki looked indignant at the warriors, "I prefer knowledge to beating the crap out of another. Now if you will excuse me, I am showing my guest around and I would prefer if you would go back to cutting each other up."
Loki grabbed Hiccup my the arm and dragged him to the other end of the field and out the door.
