Chapter 13
Kelda and Haiden went to the garden were she found Thor and Kat talking. She hated to interrupt them, but she had to speak to her older brother. "Tor." Haiden said and Kelda put him down and he crawled towards his Uncle and Kat. "Tor, Tor, Tor, Tor." He kept saying as he crawled to him. Well hey there little one. What are you doing out here alone?" Thor asked and he picked out his young nephew. Kelda walked over and she heard her son say, "Da-da, Da-da, Da-da." He said sadly and Thor and Kat saw that his nephew looked sad. "What wrong sweetie, come here to Auntie Katie." Kat said. Thor hand his nephew to Katarina and he walks over to his little sister and he saw that she too looked sad. "Kelda, what's wrong little sister? Why do you and Haiden look so sad. Has something happened to Loki?" Thor asked. "Brother, he is so upset that he can't do family thing with me and his son, so please Thor set Loki free please." Kelda begged. Thor looked at Katarina and she gave him a knowing smile for she knew what Thor was going to do. For they had talked about it. "Kelda, please don't be sad my little sister and please don't sad little Haiden your daddy will be able to do things with you as soon as we go and tell him." Thor said. Kelda looked at her older brother confused, "Thor what are you talking about brother?" She asked. "I want you and Loki to hear it together so lets us go and tell Loki, together. Kat you will come with us for this was your idea." He said. Kelda and Kat nodded and she handed Haiden to his mother. Then they all left to see Loki.
Back in the room Loki was pacing back and forth wondering were Kelda and his son went, but then he heard a voice that made his cold blood run even colder. "Hello prince Loki." The voice said. "No! No! No! No! This can't be? I'm dreaming? Yes, that's it a dream. I am going to wake up now and you will not be here." Loki said and he closed his eyes, but when he opened his eyes he saw that his tormenter was still standing in front of him. "I am still here prince Loki." Thanos said. Loki then knew that he wasn't dreaming and this made him worried and scared. He started trembling in fear for he didn't want to be hurt again. Loki put on an air of indifference, "And can I assist you?" He asked. "No. You will suffer for failing me and so will your wife and the child." Thanos said. "I will go but spare them." He said trying keep his voice level. Then they both heard someone entering the room. Loki turned his head his chest filled with dread he saw his mother standing in the room. Loki's eyes went wide, "Mother, please you must leave." He said his eyes full of tears as Thanos seized him roughly. Frigga was frozen. She then dashed forward momma bear coming to the surface. The deep maternal instinct to protect her son took over the normal rational mind of the All-Mother. "Let go of my son." She demanded. Thanos gave a deep dark chuckle, "And I am graced by your presence All-Mother Frigga. But your little boy here owes me quite a bit." He said. "You will release my son at once monster and you will leave Asgard." She commanded. Thanos chuckled again, "I will leave. But this?" He shook Loki, "Comes with me."
"You will never take my son away from me." She screamed and with that she attacked Thanos. He swung his hand to knock the woman aside, but Frigga dodged he blow. Thanos sighed, I grow bored of you, woman." Frigga drew her sword and continued to attack Thanos. The large purple man gritted his teeth. "I had meant to come here and shed no other blood, but looks like I shall have to make an exception." He said pulling the sword from her and drove it through the Queen of Asgard. "Mother!" Loki screamed and he felt a power surge through him. Thanos let's go of the handle and sighed, "Well we could have avoided that princeling. "You will pay for that." Loki said through gritted teeth. "I think not child." Thanos said cruelly. Loki couldn't contain his power and magic any longer so he just let it out. He destroyed everything in his room along with Thanos. Instead of the purple body he had expected there, he saw a white wrinkled one. Loki moved over to the body of his mother he was still in shock. She moved her hand from where it covered her wound and placed it on his face. Loki turned his head into her hand and covered it with his own. "Mother, do not try to speak. Please save your energy." She gave a weak smile knowing she would not last long. "Son. Be the father your son needs. Be the husband your wife needs. Be the prince the king will need. You be the best you can be for me." Loki felt his chest tighten, "No, No you will make it please. Healers! I need the Healers! Call Eir Now!" He screamed to the guards. A rattling was heard as they dashed for the healing rooms. Frigga coughed, "Son it is useless. Tell Odin I loved him through it all. Tell Thor I will miss him as he misses me. Kelda. That precious little girl you were so hard set on saving has saved you my son. Love her well. That little child tell him about me?" She gave a sad smile and patted his cheek, "Though I may have never bore you in my womb. I love you as if I had gone through the pain myself. My son am I not your mother?" She asked. Loki wept fully now he kissed her hand, "Yes, you have always been so." He said she raised her other bloody hand and cradled his face, "I love you Loki." She said weakly before the light left her eyes and her hand fell from his face leaving red streaks. A roar of rage rand loss ripped from Loki's throat. He gathered her into his arms and screamed his pain and rage as he rocked on the floor. The tears flowed freely. The room was electric with the fury of his magic and his cried echoed through the halls. All knew. It was too late. The All-Mother had gone.
