Chapter 81: Vicerial

Cephera spent the next hour or so roaming aimlessly not knowing where to go or who to call. With no money she had no were to sleep, no food to eat. And then it hit her. She picked up her long skirts and ran as fast as he body would allow. If she could find a Byfrost site she could call Heimdell to bring her home. She hoped that whatever was effecting Midgard was not affecting things there.

She was tired and hungry by the time she made it to the outskirts of town and into the woods. She found the sight easily, happy it was there. "Heimdell!" She cried out. She saw no lights and received no answer. "Heimdell!" She called again.

Cephera was losing her battle with her hormones. She felt hot tears run down her cheeks to drip from her chin. She wiped at them with the back of her arm and took a deep breath. This was a bad time to lose her cool.

"Please Heimdell I need you!" She yelled with all she had. Her throat was throbbing at the effort. Was this the doing of their enemy? Was she in her world or somehow in another? Maybe a time travel? Cephera had only questions as was her life nowadays. She felt her heart jump when the portal above opened but she was not swept into it. Instead someone was coming down.

Cephera watched the familiar look of Thor as he landed hammer in hand. "Who is it that calls the gatekeeper with such familiarity." He said looking at her.

"Do you not know who I am?" She asked. He shook his head.

"I do not." Thor replied looking at her closely. "Should I?"

"Look I don't know what is going on or why. All I know is I just left a place where I was married to your brother and right now I carry his child. I don't know what magic is at work but I am trying to find my way home." She tried explaining and it sounded crazy even to her.

"My brother has been imprisoned for his crimes against Asgard for the past three years. He has no wife." Thor said pondering.

"I have no where to go, I have no one who recognizes me. I am willing to go back to Asgard in chains if that is what will give me somewhere to sleep and food to eat until I might figure out what is going on." Thor looked shocked.

"I would not shackle the lady when she has yet to deserve it. I will take you to Asgard but I insist you are to speak with my father and at no time are you left unattended." Cephera sobbed out a thank you.

Odin looked just as she knew him to. Thor had told him what she had said. "My son Loki's child you say?" She nodded feeling very little at the moment. It was clear no body knew her. "Perhaps from another time? Another place? I have known magic that could take individuals out of their own worlds though I have not known anyone able to do so in a very long time." Odin stroked his beard. "We will provide you a room to stay in until we can figure this puzzle out. There will be a guard placed outside your door. When you leave your room the guard will be with you at all times."

"Thank you All father." She bowed low and stood.

"No word of this is to spread to Loki. If she does not belong here then the child belongs to another. No need to stir up trouble." Odin said this to Thor. Thor nodded.

Thor was the one who led her to this room she was to stay in. "What did Loki do?" She asked curiosity killing her.

"In my exile he attempted to usurp the throne and kill our father." This was familiar to Cephera.

"He did not fall from the Byfrost after it was destroyed?" Thor looked at her.

"Is this what you remember happening?" He asked back.

"I didn't know him when that happened. But I was told about it. After that had happened a year later he attempted to take over Midgard as its King." She explained.

"Then indeed you must be in another time, another place for none of those things happened here." Cephera sighed. How the hell would she get home. "Get some sleep. We will talk tomorrow." Thor said to her. She nodded and entered her room.

Cephera tried to scream when she was pulled from her bed and a hand clamped over her mouth. It was too dark to see what was happening. She was pulled along out of her room were her guard was no where to be seen. She found herself being carted off deep into the palace and she just knew she was headed for the prison.

She doubted she was being locked up which only meant one thing. Perhaps he had heard rumours of her arrival. Cephera felt nervous. What was Loki like here? If his past was different so might be his attitude and over all demeanour.

The hand that held her quite let go and she was thrown inside a temporarily open cell. The door swung shut behind her and the guard stood outside with his back to her. "What's going on?" She asked the guard feeling angry.

"Please sit." She heard Loki's voice behind her and took a breath. It was the one time she wished she had been wrong. She turned and he was surveying her. His hair was shorter then she knew and cropped neatly. His clothing was also clean and neat. The cell was quite nice considering he was a prisoner. It was like a small room lit by a few torches.

"I've been told you come here from another reality." He said.

"That hasn't been confirmed. I've no idea how I got here." She told him and chose not to sit.

His eyes would flick down to her belly and then back to her face. "I doubt that." He said. "Sit." He ordered her harshly. Cephera took a few steps sideways and sat keeping her shoulder back and head up. She would not let the fear that was creeping inside her take over. Loki did not sit but he did stand in a close distance from her.

"I promise you I do not know how I got here...or why." She told him again clasping her hands in her lap.

"That's a pity. I guess you won't be leaving here until you do." He threatened.

"Aren't you a prisoner?" She glared at him.

"Do you treat your husband this way?" He asked his eyes looking amused. She knew then he had heard the rumours no doubt circulating about the castle.

"Only when he's acting like a jerk." She replied smoothly. She would not be afraid of him.

Loki slammed his hand down on the table near her and his face was down to her level. "Let me make this clear. I need to get out of here and you can take me. You can take me far from this place so that I may find a new way of enacting my revenge. Do so and you will be rewarded." Cephera was tempted to roll her eyes. He expected her to transport him to her time.

"Forget it. Even if I could I wouldn't." She told him staring him back in the face. It was then she screamed as her chair knocked over and she was laying on the floor and his hand was wrapped about her neck.

"Perhaps I'm not being clear enough. If you do not do as I want I will kill you." His eyes held malice she had never seen in her own Loki. She clawed at his hand and suddenly there was nothing to claw at.

Loki was gone and everything around her was bright lights and she was floating. Soon the sky around her was nothing but white. She was floating in nothingness.

She closed her eyes when she saw a flash and when she opened them she was met with a familiar face from her past. Vicerial was floating before her. Her wings spread wide and her face serene.

She had not seen Vicerial since that fateful day when she was 17 and she had been blessed with her Magic Aurora by this very angel. "Vicerial!" She said surprised.

"We meet again Cephera." She said her voice echoing eerily.

"Why have you come?" She asked the angel.

"To help you." Vicerial replied smiling and holding her hand out for Cephera to take. Cephera took it without question.

"Where are we?" Cephera asked looking around.

"We are between realities." Vicerial responded. "But that is unimportant right now. I told you once that as an angel I am unable to intervene with the Downrealms." Cephera nodded. The Downrealms were any realms not connected to Valhalla directly. "Today is different. You have turned into a very special vessel."

"Vessel?" Cephera asked blinking rapidly.

"Yes. Your body has bestowed upon Vahalla a rare opportunity. The child growing within your womb has a special ability not seen in any realm for over 10'000 years. My fellow angels await the birth of this child and when she is old enough she will be Valhalla's herald." Cephera wasn't sure how to take this news.

"And what is it she does that is so important that the angels would save me from that other world?" Cephera felt a little uneasy.

"She Jumps." Cephera took a moment of silence.

"Jumps? I'm going to assume this is a word to describe sometching other then what I believe it to normally mean." Vicerial nodded.

"Ask your husband. He knows all there is to know of it. After all it was something he had sought to achieve himself but was unable. So ironic to have his child blessed with the gift he could never reach. I'll send you home. All will be made clear once there." Vicerial squeezed Cephera's hand that she had not let go of.

"Wait what about..." But she was gone. Everything around her was a ray of speeding lights once more. When it ended she was lying on her side in the grass just outside her home worlds palace and Kat was standing with Loki looking just as surprised as she felt.
