The Trickster and the Elf
Authors note – Hey guys, long time no see, I know it's been ages since I've posted anything at all, and for that I am sorry but the last few years have been hectic for me but now life seems to have calmed down and I think I'm ready to get back to writing. I will be updating my other stories on here very soon but until then I thought I'd post a new story that I've been working on. So without further ado here is the first chapter to my new story, enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own any characters affiliated with Marvel, I only own the characters that are from my imagination.
Chapter 2
Before Arabella could leave the great hall she was stopped by the Queen who had been waiting just outside the doors to the great hall.
"Your highness, is there something I can do for you?" She asked once she had realised who it was that stopped her.
"Oh there is no need for formality my dear child, please relax yourself but yes there is something that I need from you before you go down to the cells to see my son." She replied with a smile that made her seem like the sun was radiating from within her. "Walk with me to my private chambers. There is much I'd like to discuss with you"
"As you wish, please lead the way" she was curious to say the least as to why Frigga had wanted to speak to her in her private chambers.
As soon as both women entered the chambers, Frigga asked her ladies to leave them and told the guards that they would not be needed in here that they were to wait outside. Now Arabella was more than curious. The queen never had guests in her private chambers without her ladies present to be on hand for anything that was needed.
"My Lady what was it that you wanted to talk to me about? If I can help you in any way then please just ask and I will answer as best as I can." Arabella asked, holding on to that last of her patience. Her curiosity was getting the better of her.
"My dear Bella, I just have a few questions for you regarding my youngest son. What is the nature of the relationship between the two of you? It seems that you have become quite close though I do not understand how that has been possible. You have been self-exiled on Midgard for over a century and my son has not been to Midgard since he was but a child and yet say that you love him?" Frigga looked at Bella with a motherly smile. She was glad that someone could love her son, regardless of his origins.
Bella smiled, thinking about Loki. The love she had for him was so strong that it made her heart hurt.
"If you remember we first met when we were children, when your family came to my Fathers palace in Alfheim. We met then, we were inseparable over those few days that you were there. It was like I had found someone that was just like me. He made me feel less lonely in that big palace. Over the years we kept in touch and saw each other as often as we could. When I exiled myself to Midgard Loki used the hidden path ways to come visit me there. We slowly fell in love and it was the best thing that could have happened to me. On Midgard, we were just us, Bella and Loki. There was no Prince Loki and Princess Arabella. We could just be two normal people who were madly in love." Bella reminisced on the memories of them on Midgard.
"Then he stopped coming to see me for a while, I thought it was my fault but then I saw him in New York, leading a Chitauri army. My heart broke when I saw him, all the madness and anger that consumed him. It scared me; I thought I'd lost him. Thankfully the Avengers were able to stop him and break the hold that Thanos and the Other had over him." Remembering the events overcame Bella with emotions.
Frigga moved to hug her when she saw the unshed tears in her eyes. It was then that she knew Bella was meant for Loki. That there would never be another that would care for her son so deeply.
"Well then, that is all I need to know. I am so glad that my son has found someone who loves him so deeply, regardless of whom he is and where he comes from."
"I also want to know how you came by the information that you gave to the king. How did you know that Thanos was controlling him? I am glad that this was not Loki's doing, but it alarms me that Thanos was able to reach him and control him to do his bidding." It was Frigga's turn to look troubled.
"Well that is a complicated question; with an even more complicated answer my Queen." Bella turned away from Frigga as she thought for the best way to answer the question.
"I'm not sure how much you know about the royal Light Elves family so I suppose I will start there. Every female member of the royal house is born with a magical gift that is usually kept secret from the rest of the population. The powers that are granted to us vary is the ability and the level that one is able to use it. The light elves are already able to tap into higher levels of magic so when we are granted with the specific abilities they are usually of a higher ability than other magic users. My ability is that I am able to see the past. Which on the surface is not that impressive nor is it unique as any mage can do that by casting a rather difficult spell. The difference with mine is that I can not only see into the past of this dimension but I can see into any dimension and any reality. Like Loki, I am aware when people are lying and this ability brings the true events that took place to the forefront and I am able to learn the truth. That my Queen is how I knew the truth about what happened to Loki when he fell, and why he tried to conquer Midgard." She turned around to look at the Queen, waiting for the inevitable disbelief of her words.
"My, that is amazing. That the women in your family have such extraordinary gifts as well as being such skilled mages. It must be an enormous help in ruling over your people and preventing any wars." Frigga was amazed by what she had heard.
"So then it is true, my son is innocent of all the war crimes held against him by Midgard. Oh thank Valhalla, what happy news. Oh thank you my dear child, you have made a mother very happy. You may go to Loki now, I am sorry I have made you wait but I need to know the truth."
With that Bella bid her goodbyes and left the chambers, eager to get to Loki to tell him the good news.
