Sorry took so long guys. Been on holiday. Hope you like this chapter!
Chapter 4: icy wrath
The frozen lands of jotunheim had become even more decimated and lifeless since the Asgardiens, bifrost's, devastating power, had rained down upon them, killing hundreds even thousands of his people.
Most of the snow and ice was now forever stained, brown and red, by the amount of blood spilt that day.
Laufey pondered this thought as well as many others; most notably he often thought how he had managed to escape from that worthless example of a fortress.
Well most of him, had escaped.
The movement of his eyes downwards was almost unnoticeable, by the court members, for he had done it so agonizingly slow and without any emotion, even touching his ritually scarred face, that no one could even bear to watch him. He looked at the empty space that once would've once been occupied by his long and muscular legs. He knowingly…. this time… stroked the empty space, made by his now absent legs; it eased the pain that was now, somehow, always present. He had lost his beloved, his new born son a long time ago and now, his legs to the wretched All-father. What more could he, truly, lose?
Out of the corner of his eye he noticed a brilliant bright blue light skimming the sky like a fast paced teardrop. He smiled, so it was true, the tesseract had truly become unstable just as his council overseer had said, he knew he would not be the only one who knew of the passing cube. But he would make sure he'd be the first to act. He didn't own any of the magical talents of the wizards and mages, nor did anyone in his court at present. But he guessed the cube would return to the one place it had gone before when it had been unstable, all those centuries ago.
Unlike many, he himself knew the cube possessed conscious thought, even if it was basic, it was still conscious. It had been drawn to Midgard once, what's to say it wouldn't be drawn again?
The weak king sat, upon his frozen throne, contemplating many things, but most of all, if the guards were able bodied and successful in retrieving the cube, what then?
For the first time, in exactly 2453 years, the cold king smiled.
Update coming tomorrow, don't be mad it took so long had a huge exam. But don't blame if you're a little peed, I would be too.
