I have been finding it really weird to think of anything to write when I'm mainly focusing on a character not a part of the Marvel Thor franchise. It's almost like I feel bad not writing enough about Thor or Loki. So this chapter is a conversation concentrated between the brothers. Reviews and comments are appreciated!
Every step she took, every wave of her hand sent buildings crumbling to the ground. Evalith dried the rivers, turning into dust. The Bifrost broke down and the Goddess watched, smiling as everyone she loved died at her feet. "Leave me alone! Get out of my head, get out!" Evalith screamed, ripping at her blankets. Loki saw his lover's face, it looked as if it was burnt and cracks began to cover her head and neck. He was frightened.
Evalith dodged the sword, twisting on her knees raising dust from the ground. The Lady Sif jumped, as Evalith swiped her blades. The clang of metal on metal rang throughout the training area. Thor watched from the balcony as Loki couldn't help but admire his woman, but she looked so scared, and helpless. "I told you Thor, these nightmares are becoming more frequent. Most nights it was harmless and I could hush her back to sleep. Now, now it's just becoming worse." Loki had spoken to Thor once Evalith tired herself out, it was the dead of night and he refused to leave until he spoke to him. Thor squinted his eyes, the sun was exceptionally bright this day, "I do not know what happens when we pass to the other side, but whatever miracle brought her back to us, something not of our world, came with her."
They looked at the two ladies sparring, Sif stepped in close going in for a punch, Evalith pulled her head back grabbing Sif's arm spinning to the left. "I have my doubts with that brother, tell me, what happened during the battle between Malekith?" Deep down, Loki felt horrible that he wasn't there for Evalith. He felt so selfish, the thought of Evalith being taken away from him, was more than he could bear. Thor sighed, "The convergence only just aligned, Malekith released the Aether and it all began to go dark. I could feel the pressure of the darkness leave where I was standing. When I turned I saw Evalith and it looked as though she was moving the Aether away from me, allowing me to throw Jane's devices at Malekith. I didn't know she was so powerful".
Loki leaned against the limestone, his fingers intertwined. She never was that powerful. "Thor, I know we haven't always… Look, you are worried about Evalith, as am I. But sooner or later, whatever is inside her blood with consume her and until we figure out what it is, we need to keep watch over her." Loki really hoped Thor believed his true sincerity, whenever it was about Evalith, Loki was always honest and sincere. Thor turned, "I believe you brother. I believe you love her. I believe when you talk about these nightmares." Loki let out a long breath, he was indeed relieved that Thor took what he was saying seriously, because in the past, he never cared about that. Thor gripped Mjlonir, "For now, we do not need to worry her. Loki, do you agree?" The God of Mischief nodded, never taking his eyes of Evalith.
Many thoughts still pondered on Thor's mind. He believed Loki when the Allfather was found in Odinsleep. Aether. And he believes when he says he loves Evalith. But what was causing the nightmares that terrified her? Aether. And why has the Allfather fallen into Odinsleep? Aether. He remembered what Old Nurse said, she hadn't seen an Odinsleep this heavy in unconsciousness. The thoughts swam around the God's mind.
Aether.
Sif brought her sword across, scraping against Evalith's armoured corset. Swaying her hands, The Goddess flung herself into the air, her foot connected with Sif's chest, sending her backwards. Pressing her hands behind her head, Sif lifted herself onto her feet. And before she could pick up her sword, Evalith pushed it away with a wave of her hand. Sif lunged for her sword again, and again, Evalith pushed it away from the Lady Sif. "Evalith I thought we agreed no power-"
Sif looked up and saw the cracks on the princess's face, her glazed eyes reminded her of the mists in the high mountains. "Evalith! You are needed in the War Room." Thor shouted from the balcony, Volstagg brought knowledge of rebels back in Vanaheim. Evalith watched Lady Sif as she carefully picked up her sword. And Sif saw the lines on Evalith's face fade, "You did well Sif! You were always the best sparring partner." Evalith smiled, unaware of what happened to her face.
