Svartalfheim

Loki pulled himself up off of the ground and looked around, he could make out some bodies lying on the ground and his heart began to sink, the attack that Thor unleashed had clearly been enough but the resulting shockwave would have done some damage and considering the state everyone was already in any of them could be fatally wounded.

Loki began to run to the epicenter of the attack and looked at the spot where Mangog had been before exploding from Thor's attack. Loki took a second to spit and kept walking when he saw the large figure of Volstagg stand up and wave at him. Loki ignored him and continued to move and he continued to ignore everyone when Fandral and Hogun also stood.

Loki was so focused on finding Thor and Frigga that he tripped over Sif's leg and fell to the ground himself. He looked over to find the stern annoyed face of Sif waiting for him. "Watch your step" she said as she pulled herself up and took a look around acknowledging the Warriors Three as they approached.

Volstagg offered Loki a hand up which Loki promptly ignored and instead lifted himself out of the dirt and continued his search for Thor and his mother. "Anybody see Thor or the Queen?" asked Sif who began a frantic search of her own when all three of them shook their heads no.

Loki had already walked away and shook his head when Sif and the others began calling out for Thor and Frigga. It was also Loki who heard them first "Quiet" he yelled back at Sif and the others as he listened. He could hear something that had brought him such happiness as a child that Loki actually smiled.

Off in the distance Loki could hear the quiet laughter of mother and son, he moved quickly and spotted Thor and Frigga on the ground side by side. They were laughing the joyous laugh that only victory brought about. Loki sighed and leaned down with his hands on his knees and took deep breath, for a moment Loki thought he was never going to see his mother again. The thought of never seeing his mother or even Thor for that matter hurt Loki in a way that he did not fully comprehend, dealing with Odin's death was something Loki could handle but without Frigga, Loki wasn't sure he would be able to handle that at all.

Sif and the others soon walked past Loki to join Thor and Frigga, the two of them stood up and started exchanging happy congratulations with each other. Sif was relieved that Thor and Frigga were both alive not only because she loved them both dearly but also because taking over the throne of Asgard was not something she was particularly interested in doing.

Thor looked around shocked at how much power he had used to defeat Mangog, he wondered if he had finally accessed the Odin force or if he was just stronger than Mangog without it. He looked to his mother with a bright smile, she had been the only reason he had enough time to gather his strength for the attack that ended Mangog. The doubt that Thor had about being King did not stop him from succeeding against Mangog. Now he could focus on being the best King he could be, and that would erase whatever doubt he had about being the King of Asgard. He spotted Loki standing away from everyone with a hidden smirk and Thor approached him.

Frigga watched Thor head off to see Loki and let a huge smile cross her face as Sif and the others approached, despite all the odds Thor had managed to right the wrongs of his father. Now the only question was could he lead Asgard the way it needed to be led. Loki on the other hand would no doubt leave Asgard once again and Frigga would have to worry after him every night like she had ever since his attack on the Earth. Frigga let out a quiet laugh as Sif and the others began to pester her with all kinds of questions "My boys" she muttered under her breath.

Thor and Loki looked each other in the eye and the two seemed to be debating what to say when Thor simply nodded appreciatively at Loki who smirked and returned with one of his own. Thor looked back at Frigga who was being congratulated by Sif and the others, "I know you and Mother had a fight…now would probably be a good time to get things settled" Thor stated getting a quick look from Loki who lightly nodded.

"Not sure this is something I can just apologize for" replied Loki as he was hoping to find a way out even though he knew that he needed to talk with her.

"Mother is the most forgiving person I have ever seen. Remember all those disagreements that her and father had over the years. Every single time they would figure it out and she would forgive father no matter what…not to mention all the trouble we used to get into" stated Thor and the two brothers shared a laugh.

Loki sighed after laughing and looked at Thor "Maybe everything will work out after all" Loki said as he began walking towards Frigga. Sif and the others saw him coming and quietly parted from Frigga and went their separate ways and began to walk towards Thor before they headed back to Asgard.

Loki was opening his mouth when a large explosion sound echoed from behind them and the wind kicked up all the sand around them, they all turned to look at the sound. "What is that?" asked Sif as they were looking at the windstorm.

Suddenly out of nowhere a concentrated beam of dark energy flew among the group of warriors. Thor felt the beam whiz past his ear, it seemed to cut perfectly between Sif and the Warriors Three, and Loki only heard the sound it made when it went right through his mother's chest.
