This is next chapter following Onto The Darkness, itwas more popular than I could have imagined. The reviews were wonderful, and gave me ideas on what I should work on. Now this is the next in my little fanfic series. So I hope you all enjoy this first chapter! Review and comment your opinion.
Lots of inspiration, SJBell.
The Aether burned through Midgard and as it did, the darkness followed. Evalith walked through the heat as she lay waste to the Midgardian realm. She soaked in the desperate screams of those who burned. Aether clung to her body and the cracks in her face glowed ebony, her eyes were glazed in a leaden grey. The cities crumbled and the waters boiled. Evalith felt the energy rising within her, she pushed her arm forward and the mortal's sun began to turn black. Dark consumed the light. Midgard turned to ashes. It all broke down beneath her feet. The Aether guided her through the abyss, it hugged her body and ran through her veins.
Loki his sister as she convulsed in their bed, "Evalith, Evalith wake up! Wake up. Please." He held her down in his lap, this has happened before, a few nights ago. But not like this. Evalith's lilac eyes opened, darting from side to side. Beads of sweat fell from her forehead and she squeezed Loki's arm. "I'm here my darling, I'm here." It was a few minutes before he could calm her down, but she wouldn't go back to her side of the bed. So Loki pulled back her hair and pressed his head to her neck, and she feel back to sleep.
Evalith didn't even know that the palace had its own War Room, but she figured it was appropriate. A large and deeply rich oak table was centred in the middle on the smooth pavement floor. Oak chairs were located around, on all sides. Evalith and Loki sat together on one side, holding hands whilst Thor sat at the head of the table. Sif sat to his right and Volstagg to his left. Fandral preferred to stand over near the open cascade. The tension was high and extremely uncomfortable for Evalith in particular. But she held onto to Loki's hand, his skin felt cool and just made her feel so safe.
Thor crossed his and spoke first, "The Allfather has fallen into Odinsleep. Old Nurse has told me this one is heavy, heavier than she has ever seen." Sif put her hair to the side, "But it was Loki's illusion that made you believe Odin was on the throne when you returned. How do we know he didn't do something more devious?" Evalith squeezed his hand, she always felt the utter despise Sif has for Loki, and even the jealousy against Jane Foster. Loki smirked at Lady Sif, who placed her hand on her sword. Thor intervened, "Loki, what exactly where you doing pretending to be Odin?" His look lingered to the holding hands of his sister and Loki. Thor still had not fully grasped that situation. And if that's what he thought, he feared what the others did. "I came back to Asgard to face my punishment, he was already in Odinsleep when I returned. It was merely a practical joke. I do what I want dear brother."
Volstagg howled, "Well I can barely believe that as far as I could throw it!" He took another swig of his grog. "Volstagg, I have confirmed this with the guards that were with my Father before he fell. But Loki, that was really unnecessary." Loki put an arm around Evalith, and she leaned on him, "As you say brother." Fandral just paced back and forth on the cascade, and he nodded to Thor. The Lady Sif's face began to burn red, "You are pure evil Laufeyson. What have you done? Tell me, do you plan on stealing the throne? Is that it?" Loki stood from his chair and so did Sif, they began to argue and Evalith tuned out unwillingly. Thor tried to intervene once more, Volstagg just sat drinking his grog and Fandral rubbed his temples. Evalith could feel her stomach flip. Everything in the room ascended into the air, floating still. "That is enough! I have visited the Allfather in his Odinsleep, pledging to him to take on the responsibility of Asgard until we figure out what is going on." Evalith returned the table, chairs and Volstagg to the ground. They all sat back down, "Are we all in agreement? We continue to protect the realms and Evalith will take on responsibilities." Thor watched each of them. One by one they nodded their heads in reluctant agreement.
