Miku looked free. But she certainly wasn't, with Odin's rules here of course. It's not like they will go away dramatically or magically, he just doesn't understand. He never will, he won't even sway when Frigga stands in his way.
Loki will not be free. Forever.
Today was the wedding, and Miku Kyoko was devastated she couldn't visit him the whole day. She left him the night before with a few kisses and some kind words, telling him, that she will return. She thought about her return, what would they do? How would they interact and spend the rest of his days docked away?
The rest of his days.
She meant the rest of hers. And like she thought yesterday, how would her parents react? And Jane Foster? Plus her college studies would shift her time with Loki as well. This was a mess. A beautiful mess, something that manages to blossom love, understanding, but also the evil of reality. Many things were in Miku's way, they've always have been.
Miku had the back of her dress fastened by a maid, oh so carefully. Her fingers pressed against the lavender sides of her dress. It felt so soft, and cared for. Darcy felt content with her dress as well, even though it wasn't her clothing of choice.
The girls were happy for Jane, and for Thor. Miku could tell Darcy had nothing on her mind besides this. But she felt different of course, Loki was there, thoughts of him swarmed her brain. She couldn't help it!
But...she could. If she tried.
One day. Just one day of celebration. And Loki...all alone. This was going to be hard, unbelievably hard for him and for her. An adoptive brother, not being able to attend his brother's wedding. This was ridiculous, this was Odin of course. Miku shook her head slightly to try to cease the aggravating thoughts. Darcy looked at her and asked if she was doing ok, Miku lied and nodded, her lips curled in a smile.
Queen Frigga was frustrated too, no doubt, but the Queen had to hide it, for her sake. No breaking down at this wedding, no one should complain at a wedding, it just wasn't proper.
The garden was prepared wonderfully. Flowers draped from pillars and arches, and tables and tables of food stretched outward, with bread, meat, cheese and even ancient Asgardian delicacies. A trumpet, or...some sort of Asgardian musical instrument began to play at the Queen's arrival, as well as the bridesmaids.
Everything was absolutely perfect so far. The dew of the grass sponged in Miku's slippers, the smell was earthy and sweet, the flowers also helped with that. The crowd was very solemn, polite, clapping with care. This was no ceremony on Midgard. But, there was just one thing that stood out on this romantic day.
An ominous sky draped over Miku and the guests, it's winds causing the young women to cover their bare shoulders with drapes. Frigga seemed to walk quickly at the first wind, she quickly grabbed Darcy's hand, who was behind her, and lead the ladies to their spots.
Odin, who arrived moments after his wife, was draped in fur last second because of the blustery circumstances, as well as extra ebony and gold armor. The crowd was silenced and Odin gave a brief speech about his son, Thor, as he he entered. The crowd had a different vibe when the new King made his way to the arch, it was like a rock concert. Miku couldn't help but cheer, she had to get exited, that's what she is, an exciting girl, and this is an exciting day. Darcy seemed to agree too when she tried to reach over and grab a glass of wine being carried by servers. Frigga slapped her hand calmly.
"Now," Odin began and paused for a moment, his voice seemed to echo through the garden, even though the place was outdoors, non barricaded by walls. "We have been waiting for this moment, this, new future for my kingdom," He paused again. He smile felt like a mirage, Miku felt it was going to cripple and fade away. King Odin was discouraged, for whatever for. But Miku plastered on a smile, like she always has, ignoring his strange communicating. "His kingdom," Thor. The King turned and his blood cloak swished with him. He seemed to stare at the side of the altar, where most of the crowd was, and an open space when a certain figure could squeeze his way through the crowd and join the royal family above. "Your, kingdom." He echoed. The audience. "My friends, my people, your new king." Was all he could say.
The crowd broke out again in a loud booming cheer. Surprisingly Thor did not belt out with a mighty roar of approval, he bowed, but he did seem to wink at his father.
Sooner than later, Jane Foster, a friend, a supporter, a queen, entered the garden. Her dress was like no other style Miku has ever seen on a bride. Jewels cascaded down her white fabric, the veil stretched over 17 feet at least, and was carried at the end by two helpful maids, who were dressed to the nines as well.
She approached Thor gracefully, with purple dusted half closed eyelids and a shiny pink smirk. Miku did not understand how Jane could be so under control when marrying the prince of her dreams, literally. Miku's heart started to melt as Odin began the ceremony. Jane, her friend was going to be queen, and it would go down in history that she will be the first mortal to rule such a place! And for Miku this was a wondrous memory forever in her book.
The ceremony seemed to stretch and Odin continued to talk for what seemed 5 minutes! Miku could notice Darcy tapping her fingers and palm against her lilac dress pursing her lip slightly. Miku had to at least move a little from standing so still, who ever knew this could go on for such a long time. But Jane was impeccably starstruck with the being before her. Staring into the aquamarine iris' who pierced her green ones, shining even in the light grey sky with little to no sun.
"I am grateful and proud to have Jane serve as our Queen, we mu-" He was going to continue, but the grey king was cut off my a blood curling scream. Miku's ebony hair swished as she caught a woman in the audience, who dropped her glass of wine, blood seeping out of her reddened lips. A man, who Miku guessed was her lover, grabbed her and screamed for health care.
Miku gasped and watched Thor step in, demanding who poisoned the drinks. The prince was clever, no doubt. Poison, of course she was poisoned. And Jane, she was patient for marriage and gripped onto her finance's armored arm. "I demand a traitor to show themselves!" His voice booming with anger as he turned around the scene, red cape swishing around him and Jane.
Miku and Darcy followed Thor and Jane to the scene as they watched the woman slowly commence revival.
"Who could've done this?" Jane trembled and continued to watch guards storm the area.
"Jane, I am so sorry, I didn't know a thing like this would have happened-"
"It's not your fault." She bellowed to Darcy. "Someone is dying, and we must get to the bottom of this." Jane looked back at the Queen, being comforted by guards.
"We must find our betrayer before it's too-" Thor bellowed angrily right before he was cut off, by yet another scream. A woman's, at least 20 feet away. Mother. But this time, blood wasn't a factor, on her at least.
A crunch noise echoed severely throughout the garden, and a shriek of citizens followed after as a heap of black and gold body covered armor collapsed in front of the flowery arch.
The mild grey sky began to swirl, and Jane could notice that Thor's eyes seemed a little more blue than before.
