Your troop reached Osilon quickly on horseback on Wednesday, two days after your departure from Ellesméra. Your friends easily got along with the elven warriors and soon shared their stories with each other at the camp fire at night. But now you were given rooms before you would leave tomorrow morning for Yazuac to face the hordes of the Soulless King. You sat on your bed's side excited. No, it wasn't the good kind of excitement… it was the excitement of a person before war, who fears death in a way and saying goodbye to everyone they love, who wanted to survive and bring happiness and peace to their people. You knew you would sacrifice your life if needed to save everyone else but now… you couldn't die and fail protecting your home.

Suddenly someone's large hand landed on your shoulder snapping you out of your thoughts. You turned to the person sitting down next to you and inhaled their scent. Your lips pulled into a smile and you cuddled to the person.

'What troubles your heart, love?' asked Loki petting your hair.

'You know what it is' you whispered in the dark as your cheek was pressed against his chest and your arms circled around his waist.

'You said yourself: "If we win, we win together and if we fall, we will fall together." Do you remember?' asked Loki looking down at you. You sighed and pulled away to look him in the eye.

'I do… but it's not just us, Loki. I fight for all of Du Weldenvarden and even all of Alagaësia. I am now a significant persona and with it came great responsibility' you replied.

'I am here for you (Name)' said Loki kissing your forehead. 'But you could talk to Thor about it. His position is somewhat the same.'

'Does he feel unsure? Fears the tomorrow? How a battle will affect everything else?' you asked quietly.

'I am certain he does know and feel all of that' nodded Loki with a sad expression on his handsome features so you cupped his cheek and turned his head to face you. You pressed a gentle and loving kiss on his lips.

'I still want you as my king, Loki. The elders accepted you on the conference I first asked for your presence. They can see a deliberate, earnest and responsible ruler who would give me help and would be able to settle everything in the right way' you said before pulling him in for another kiss.

In the morning the troop started on their journey again saying goodbyes to the residents of Osilon and accepting those who decided to join your forces in the battle. During the journey you passed a few mountains on Du Weldenvarden's edge before you reached the glebe. The Anora parted the Spine from Du Weldenvarden's thick forests with its fast flow. There was Utgard where the Anora turned to north and ran into a big lake.

Your troops left the woods and galloped onto the man-inhabited fields. It was a big difference from the elven forests and you saw Thor's and Sif's faces turn brighter in the sun light. Loki also seemed to be grateful for the scenery change. The elves seemed to enjoy leaving Du Weldenvarden again after they were locked up by Vraë's dark spells.

'Everyone!' you cried out on the front drawing everyone's attention to you immediately. 'We are not far from war, because it will be not only a battle but we will fight for those years the Soulless King had his power frighten us! All of you have family, friends and loved ones you wish to go back. Fight for them and bring victory for Alagaësia! Fight for the future! To create a peaceful future for those who will live way after us and save our home for them! Think about the lives you want to protect and win this war for them!'

'Yeah!' cried out every member of your troop making your heart lift with hope. Hope, that was going to save all of you. You couldn't fight with fear in your hearts and fall. You had a purpose: to give future to those who are not yet arrived to this world.

Time skip~

Around sunset you reached Yazuac where the Alagaësian army, the Vardens and Dragon Riders already built the camp. You heard the familiar noise of a camp before battle, men telling each other war stories, sharing their memories about their families, how proud they were of their children and wives, how they want to grant them a peaceful future where there's no bloodshed and fear. When you arrived to the camp with your friends and elves you noticed the queen and her party waiting for you at the entrance. Jonaldel, the granddaughter of Nasuada ruled over Alagaësia's lands. Her skin was brown just like her grandmother, and her hair black, pulled back in a tight braid. Her form was firm and well prepared for battles. Her dark red leather clothes and shining armor looked perfectly fitted on her.

'Atra estherní ono thelduin, (Name) Dröttningu' greeted you Jonaldel, her voice tired.

'Good to see you, your majesty' you bowed slightly. 'We came to help and to lead Alagaësia into victory.'

'Well, we waited for your arrival to discuss the tactics and now that you're here we can start the conference. You can put your belongings in your tents before the meeting which will be in an hour. Tyene will show you your tents' nodded the queen at you and all of you followed her and Tyene who must've been her handmaid into the camp. You passed men wearing armor and noticed their awe filled eyes looking at your form and at the other elves but Lady Sif wasn't an exception. Loki grabbed around your waist suddenly very aware of the stares you got making you chuckle.

'Don't worry, love. There're no men who can out stand you in my eyes' you purred to the Trickster making him smile down on you.

'I still like to show other men that you belong to me' pulled you closer the dark prince. After you put your bags down you made your way to the queen's tent to join the commander, Jermeac, the great-grandson of Jörmundur, lieutenant and second lieutenant, Drith and Beck and of course the queen. You, Loki, Thor and Sif walked inside the tent greeting them respectfully and soon you let Loki explain why the three of them were joining this battle. You noticed how Jonaldel's face showed for only just a second her distaste of the happenings. She didn't want to owe to the All-Father but if she refused the help she would fall from the opportunity to export Alagaësian products and what-not.

'Last time we had to face the Soulless King's army we lost lot of people. I want to decrease the number of the fallen as much as possible.' spoke up Jonaldel sitting opposite from you at the large round table where the map of the land was spread. 'Any suggestions?'

'What do we know about the army?' asked Loki already thinking of a plan. He got used to craft several plans to prevent his foolish brother's death when they were younger. The queen shot him a cold glare but your Trickster didn't even flinch, just stared back at her.

'The soldiers are dead men, actually dead men. They try to eat the flesh off of you not caring about anything else and they can be finished off by putting something through their heads.' answered Jermeac remembering the scary tales he heard from his grandfather. You closed your eyes as the memories came rushing back to you. The smell and sight was something you would never be able to forget.

'Does that mean they are going to only attack without a plan? Just moving as they want?' asked Loki with a serious expression and the other men nodded looking at him waiting for him to continue. And in a few seconds Loki was explaining a complete plan with several back up plans. All of the others who didn't know about his skills in commanding and battle just stared wide eyed at his genius. After the meeting you patted Loki's shoulder and slid your hand down his arm smiling up at him as you walked out of the tent and away from it.

'Now everyone around us can see what I see whenever I look at you' you said happily. 'My king.'

'You can always surprise me with this side of yours' pulled you close your Trickster and pressed his lips to yours. You smiled against his thin lips enjoying the moment. Thor's booming voice interrupted you two making both of you snap your head to him.

'Brother! (Name)! Let us dine together tonight and shall be merry before we face the enemy tomorrow!' grinned the blonde Asgardian making you chuckle and nod. You were already slightly hungry from the long meeting and you could use a bowl of hot soup and a pitch of ale.

The camp's residents celebrated their might be last night before the battle, singing old battle songs, drinking ale and laughing together. You sat by Loki's side not far from Jonaldel who had a little bit happier smile on her otherwise beautiful features. The food was delicious and was nutritious but something kept distracting you from the conversation you had with one of the elves. Loki's hand kept massaging your inner thigh making your belly tingle the right way. Everyone around you thought the blush on your cheeks were from the ale and you wanted to let them think that. Loki slid his hand up higher and pressed down on your clit through the fabric of your pants making you gasp but you hid it with coughing. You shot him a glare but excused yourself from the table and give him a gaze to tell him you wanted him to follow you. Since you started your journey the tension between you and Loki grew unbearable to this point and you needed to relieve it somehow. Loki soon caught up to you and grabbed you by the waist pulling you back into his chest and you felt something hard press against your bums making you blush and grow so wet at the same time.

'You could've been more discrete back at the table, Loki. What if Jonaldel found out what you were doing?' you hissed but turned around and placed a hand on his lower abdomen with a sly smile on your lips. You tent was to your right so you grabbed his linen shirt and pulled him flush against your body making you both stumble into your tent. You unbuttoned his shirt hurriedly as Loki slid his hands under your shirt and pulled it over your head showing the gauze around your breasts. He ripped them off of your chest before pulling you close again and kissing you hungrily then down your neck to your collar bone then to your left nipple taking it in between his thin lips and started sucking on them making you gasp in pleasure. Your fingers curled in his long black locks and you felt his hands work your leather pants down on your hips and felt the fabric pool around your feet. Your dark prince let go of your breast and grabbed your hips pulling your crotch against his making both of you gasp. You grabbed his hand and turned to your bed pulling him with you. You lied down on the furs covering the bed and watched Loki crawl over your form only his pants on him. You gazed over his toned chest and noticed the almost invisible scars on his pale skin. Your eyebrows furrowed in concern as you touched the biggest one.

'Who did this?' you asked furious.

'Does not matter, love' whispered into your ear Loki but you shook your head.

'I will kill those who did this to you' you said with so much determination the dark prince felt like you really could kill Thanos. The thought that you would go so far because of him made his heart jump in his chest, not like it wasn't already thumping with a million miles per hour.

'I love you so much, (Name)' he leaned down and kissed you passionately. You felt warmth spread through your body making everything feel wonderful. You slid your hands down his chest to his abdomen to the hem of his pants and when you pulled away from the kiss you looked up at him. 'I love you too, Loki. I craved after you for so long and now I'm not going to let anything tear us apart again.'

You opened his pants and his erection spring free of the fabric making your eyes go wide. You never saw anything which could turn you on so much so fast. You ran a finger over his length before grabbing him and pumping him a few times. Loki groaned in your shoulder but pulled your hand away and crawled down till his face was at your crotch. You caught a mischievous smirk on his lips before you saw stars. His tongue slid into your folds making you gasp and buck your hips but his hands pushed you back down. Your moans filled the tent but you didn't care. When you were almost there Loki let go of you making you whine disappointedly and he chuckled at your reaction.

'Soon, love' he leaned up to kiss your lips letting you taste yourself from his lips. You curled your arms around his neck and felt him position himself in front of your lower lips. You suddenly let go of him and gasped out:

'Wa-ait!' your voice cracked and you became the darkest shade of red you could imagine. 'I… I have never been… with anyone…'

Loki's eyes widened and soon his eyes grew even darker but his features showed you how happy he was.

'You are so perfect…' he sighed leaning down and kissing you again. 'I promise, you will not regret giving me your first time.'

You felt his tip push past your folds and slowly all of his length slid into you. A sharp pain shot through your body but it disappeared as quickly as it came. Both of you panted heavily gazing into each other's eyes and so Loki started moving ever so slowly at first. It was amazing. You clawed and writhed under him on the fur covered bed moaning loudly and his name leaving your lips. He picked up his pace as he embraced you tightly holding onto you just as much as you held onto him as you slowly reached your climax.

'Loki… Loki…' you panted in pleasure and felt thin lips ghost over your skin and hands roam your body as he pumped into you. His pace slowly growing ragged but you were so close to as he hit that spot inside you which made you see stars. 'I'm going to…'

'Cum, my love, cum for me… scream my name so loud so everyone can hear you belong to me now and forever!' his voice ringed in your head and you complied. As you reached your peak you screamed his name in delight and felt him expand inside of you and soon followed the feel of something hot filling you.

Loki slid out of you when he finally caught his breath and lied onto his side pulling you into his chest. You buried your face in his chest listening to his heartbeat with a smile on your face.

'I want to wake up next to you from now one every morning' you whispered cuddling into Loki. He kissed the top of your head lovingly.

'Me too'

The next morning~

You groaned as the morning light hit your face through the tent. You smiled as you felt a pair of arms embrace you and you leaned back happily.

'Good morning, my love' spoke up Loki behind you with a hoarse voice.

'Good morning, Loki' you replied turning around in his arms and pressing a kiss to his lips. You wished that moment to never end but horns signaled for everyone to get ready. You and Loki both got up and hurriedly pulled on your clothes and armor, Kweikva on your hip. You left your tent to see men hurrying through the tents. You could smell danger and death in the air and you didn't like it but now you would have your chance to get your revenge.

A sinister smile spread wide on the grey skinned man's face as he watched his army stumbled forward. His completely black eyes scanned through the army of dead soldiers stopping on one on his right side. It was a woman. Her long black hair in a loose braid, her once porcelain skin, now grey and dirty, dark red painting her lips and chin showing her feast from the other night. Her features were once beautiful and now her eyes were dull instead of the shining green orbs she had back then.

'I never thought an elf could turn into a half-dead' noted the half-eyed soulless knight who slayed Srunugr so many years ago.

'I have heard the princess returned and I thought she should have a happy family reunion' chuckled the Soulless King riding his white horse which had black eyes too.

To be continued…
