Adisa's mind buzzed when she was led to a throne room. Hel silently sat on a polished stone chair, and simply watched Adisa nervously stir below her. Adisa regretted following her. The woman was indeed intimidating.
The throne room itself was massive, and cold. The entire chamber was made of the same black stone, and each of the pillars that held the room up were carved with various designs. For a moment Adisa swore some of the pillars had pictures of men being tortured but she didn't dare give them a close inspection.
It was hard enough to ignore how she couldn't see the corners of the room because of how dark it was. The large bowls of fire, hardly lit up anything and she was sure there was a good reason why Hel had chosen her throne room to look like this. It made a person feel very small, and uneasy.
Hel cleared her throat, as she rested both of her arms on her chair and crossed her legs.
"Horril has been causing trouble for a very long time. We are lucky that sometimes madness makes men do strange things, and Loki has stirred up enough trouble for Horril that he has come out of hiding. As we speak Loki is slaughtering Horril." Hel's face darkened, and Adisa clenched her jaw, she didn't want to think of Loki murdering a man, even if this was the same man who threw her over a balcony.
The memory of hitting the ground fluttered to her chest, and Adisa felt her stomach churn. She wasn't sure if Horril knew Adisa feared falling to her death, or it was just a coincidence. Either way Adisa didn't want to think about her death ever again.
"I don't understand what this has to do with me." Adisa said, clutching her skirt with her right hand. She could only imagine how Loki was taking her death. She knew that he had murdered Horril out of anger, and deep down she knew he was slowly growing out of control.
As much as she loved Loki, she knew there was a side to him that was pure darkness. She could see it in the possessive nature he held over her, and the way he sometimes spoke about other people. Loki was quick to anger, and he was not quick to react. He took his time to plot his revenge, and snuck around in the shadows like a cat.
Loki had assumed that Adisa didn't know of the horrible things he sometimes did, but Adisa heard the whispers better than anyone. Although he was a better person now, that darkness in him had already taken root, and it only needed the right conditions to grow again. Loki would lose control quickly.
"There are many paths in life we can take, and unfortunately you have been brought down the wrong one. So I intend to fix it." Hel said re-crossing her legs on her throne. "You are the only one who can keep Loki under control. He is too much trouble on his own and I need him to take his rightful place as king of Jotunheim." Adisa scrunched her face in confusion. Why Hel wanted Loki to be king of Jotunheim was beyond her.
"Loki would never go to Jotunheim. He hates that part of himself." Adisa said shaking her head. She was confused. Loki only every brought up his heritage if he was in a rage, a rage that terrified Adisa. Hel seemed almost annoyed at this point, which frustrated Adisa. It wasn't her fault that the God had different plans for her.
"That's why you will convince him to stay. Jotunheim has been in chaos for far too long, and I fear if Loki stays on Asgaurd, even with you he will trigger the end of the world, and I'll have no business if the world ends." Hel looked bored as she explained what little of a plan she had to Adisa. Adisa was horrified that Hel thought Loki would bring the end of the world. There was no possible way one man could cause that much trouble.
"I don't expect you to understand, you cannot see into the future like I can. But keeping that monster of yours happy is the only way to avoid that darkness that creeps up in him. So he will have his throne, and have his wife. Then when he dies at a very old age….before you of course. We will no longer have to worry what tricks Loki has." Adisa was completely stunned at this point, she thought Hel was mad. Hel didn't seem to care one bit what Adisa was thinking.
"Now for your body. Loki has already burned yours so I can't return you to your original self. Well, I could but I don't feel like it. Your last body won't do for what I have planned. You need a better one." Hel ignored the horror that crossed Adisa's face. At this point Hel was having too much fun with the girl. She didn't come across the chance to return someone to the living often, so she was going to enjoy it while she could.
"Good luck Adisa." Hel muttered, flicking her wrist. Adisa dropped to her knees her head suddenly feeling like a thousand pounds, and in a split second everything went black.
Adisa's head was spinning around wildly. She couldn't focus on anything in front of her, so she closed her eyes tightly hoping that somehow it would fix the sickness in her stomach. It seemed like it took forever for her body to settle but there was still a soft buzzing under her skin. She felt different.
Again Adisa opened her eyes, flinching slightly when brightness and snow greeted her. She couldn't remember the last time she saw snow, let alone seen the amount of snow in front of her. Excited to see something new, she pushed herself up from the ground when she noticed something different.
Her skin was blue.
Adisa's hands shook as she brought her hands to her face. Something had to be wrong, she thought. Maybe she had been laying in the snow to long. Checking the rest of her body (which was the same shade of blue), she tried to figure out what was wrong with her. Her skin, although mostly blue, had soft swirls of a lighter blue.
Hel was right; she would not receive the same body she had before. It took Adisa a moment to realise that Hel had never been specific of what kind of body she would receive. Adisa had only assumed it would be of Aesir, not frost giant. Hel also failed to mention that she would be naked. Covering her breasts Adisa looked around the white field of snow.
Most would have found Hel's actions cruel and Adisa was indeed upset, but she was alive. Adisa had no idea what she was to do next so she started to walk in the direction opposite of the wind and hoped she would find someone before the sun went down.
It was odd that the snow didn't bother her as much as it should have. She was of course a bit on the cold side, but she was also naked. When it snowed in Asgaurd, she normally wore three layers to stop the cold from creeping into her bones.
Walking with vision was getting a lot easier the further she went. The new strain to her eyes was starting to bring a pounding head ache. So she had slowed down as she tried to nurse her head. She had no idea how long she had been walking, and she was about to give up when she noticed a dark shaped in the snow. It was still too far away for her to clearly see it, and even if she was standing beside it she wasn't entirely sure she would know what it was.
Adisa decided that she was going to walk towards whatever was sitting in the middle of the snow. Slowly the figure started to take shape, and very quickly she understood that the object was a house. Although it was different than then ones back home.
It was made of stone, and until she was close enough to see it with greater detail did she realize that the door was made of a strange wood she had never seen before. She had yet to see a single tree so she had no idea where the wood had come from.
Holding her breasts closer to her body she knocked on the door, using her once free hand to cover her privates. A strange sound came from inside of the house. She was starting to second guess knocking on the door, and it was slammed open. A large blue woman stepped into view.
Adisa had never seen a frost giant before, let alone a woman frost giant so she was indeed surprised to see her. The woman on the other hand, seemed less than impressed to see a naked woman at her door. She scowled, and peered down at Adisa with red eyes, making her feel more naked then she thought possible.
"What do you want?" She snarled, stepping out farther from the house. Adisa stepped back a few paces unsure of the woman. She didn't know if the woman was going to hurt her, but she wouldn't be surprised if she did. She had always been told Frost Giants were ruthless.
"I'm not entirely sure." Adisa said, stunned. The woman slumped her shoulders, and with a scowl she ushered Adisa in. Adisa wasn't sure what this meant, and stood watching her carefully. This annoyed the woman even more.
"Well come on then!" She snapped repeating the action once again. Adisa didn't want to anger her, so she quickly scuttled into the house.
Loki wasn't surprised to find himself in the Al-Father's throne room. He knew the moment the guards found him fingering Adisa's crown where they were going to drag him. He expected them to tie him up like last time, but when they silently led him through the halls free of chains, he was pleasantly surprised.
The Al-Father was of course sitting in his throne waiting for Loki, beside him was his mother who was softly smiling. Loki could never imagine his mother being pleased that he had murdered someone, so he knew at that there was more to why he had been called. His mother was clearly itching to walk down the stairs and hold his face in her hands.
"You called?" Loki chimed, dramatically bowing in front of the throne. He didn't miss the frown that appeared on the King's face. He didn't find his son funny in the slightest. The King was after all aware of much more then Loki gave him credit for.
Not only had his wife approached him with news, but Heimdall had confirmed more than they could possibly hope to know.
Heimdall had seen the conversation between Hel and Adisa. Heimdall had no idea how true the information from Hel was, but he had seen the chaos that Jotunheim had fallen into now that all the remanding royals had been murdered.
Heimdall was careful when he explained to the royals that Adisa was no longer Aesir but Frost Giant. Adisa hadn't seemed to care that her body had dramatically changed, but she was also preoccupied by walking down a mountain naked. She of course eventually found a large hut filled with 3 very excited women, and was currently being dressed.
"Heimdall and your mother have seen something." Odin spoke, watching Loki carefully. He knew the information he held was fragile. No one knew how Loki would respond; they all knew he was currently unstable. They all had after all seen what he had done to Horril. If it wasn't for the pain they all felt for the loss of Adisa, and the small sense of justice they got from his actions he would be back in prison.
"Adisa is alive, and well." Loki felt his heart speed up. He had seen Adisa fall with his very own eyes. As a master of illusions he knew that there was no way, her death could have been faked.
"You know nothing about humor." Loki coldly spat, the anger quickly rising in his chest. He wanted nothing more than to rip the king apart at that moment. They always saw entertainment in his pain. Frigga looked at her son panicked, she knew Loki was unhinged and she didn't want him to snap.
"I've seen it myself. Hel has brought Adisa back." Loki could hardly believe his mother's words. Hel was not one to bring someone back from the dead unless she got something out of it and he couldn't think of anything Hel needed.
"Where is she?" Loki demanded, if what they said was true then he needed to get to her. He needed to touch her, and he needed to see her to believe that she was still alive. Frigga and Odin looked at each other both trying to find the right words. For a brief moment Loki waited for a lie.
"Loki, Adisa is not…" The anger was quick to rise in his chest again. He was done playing games.
"WHERE IS SHE?" His voice echoed off the throne walls.
"On Jotunheim." Frigga answered, watching the rage in Loki's face build. He clutched his hands tightly, ignoring the gritty feeling of his hands. They were still covered in blood despite wiping them off hours ago.
"Loki, there is something you must know about Adisa!" Frigga attempted to explain before he snapped again.
"I don't care!" He hissed turning his back on his family. He needed to find his wife, and he already had a fraction of a plan. The rest would come to him as he went. Frigga grasped the necklace around her throat, Loki didn't know what she had seen and she knew it would come as a shock to him.
"You should care. Adisa has changed, and you need to be prepared." Odin raised his voice. Loki stopped for a second peering over his shoulder. Odin was sitting on the edge of his throne, clearly agitated. Loki had never seen his father like this, so for a moment he was interested in what he had to say.
"Hel has given her the body of a frost giant." Odin said, his voice echoing off the walls. Everyone was watching Loki waiting for his anger to explode.
"I do not love just Adisa's body." Loki snarled walking away from his family, his anger burning his chest. Loki did not care what form Adisa took, as long as she was there with him. He almost found it hard not to laugh, of course Hel would bring her back as such a creature.
Only a frost giant could love such a creature as himself.
As his family watched him leave, Frigga looked to Thor. Thor nodded his head in understanding. He needed to go with his brother. Loki needed someone to keep his madness grounded, and Thor could keep the situation under control.
Even if Loki believed that he was okay with Adisa's new body, his family knew he was quickly slipping. Actually seeing her changed form might be enough to send him over the edge, and they wanted to be careful. They all still loved Adisa the same, but they feared his hatred for what he was might extend to what Adisa now was.
