What if it wasn't what it seemed like (Loki x Reader)

Chapter 23

One week later, you were on your way to the stable. Loki had a meeting at Asgard tomorrow and so, you wanted to use the chance to take Triobrial to Asgard. You were supposed to meet with the dark-haired man at three o'clock on a field outside of the city. You would ride an hour there so you wanted to hurry a little to saddle the black stallion.

As you arrived, Tom was there to help you. He gave the bridle and saddle to you and you tucked them onto the horse. After fifteen minutes, you were done and sat up. It felt wonderful to ride again and you couldn't wait to ride through the fields and forests of Asgard next to Loki.

Horseshoes clicked on the asphalt as you rode through the city. People hurried by and cars honked. It was busied but you didn't mind. This was New York and time seemed to run by so much more fast than elsewhere.

You arrived on the field in time and waited for Loki. After somewhat like ten minutes, he arrived. You were still sitting on the horse as he hopped out of the car, Tony had driven him in here. The prince had a big backpack with him as he sat up behind you. Strong arms reached around you and grabbed the bridle as well. A cold chin was placed on your shoulder and a smooth voice whispered in your ear.

"Are you ready?" You nodded and then, a boost of energy went down on you.

You were in the same position as before. Loki's chin on your shoulder, your back pressed against his chest and arms around your waist. The only difference,: you were not on earth anymore. You were in something like a tunnel, made of glittering crystalline structures. The stars twinkled through it, creating all shades of colors. Soon, you arrived in Asgard where Heimdall greeted you. You rode through the city in comfortable silence. Here and there, people turned around, looking at you and admired Triobrial.

As you arrived at the palace, a young man ran up to you to take the horse to the stables. As you had gotten down, Loki whispered something in the boy's ear, making him nod eagerly.

"Don't worry my love, he'll be fine. James is a giant from Jutunheim. He was set out as they noticed that he was not growing as expected and so he came here," the Prince explained, grabbing your hand.

"How old is he?" Curiosity took the better of you. Loki looked at you with a strange look.

"He is about 300 years old," he answered coldly.

"300?! I may have thought about 15 or so," you said shocked. Loki chuckled lightly, as you two entered the palace.

"If he was a human, he may be just that old but giants, Asgardians, frost giants, Nephilim and many other species age sore slow and so become older." You nodded in response. Soon, Loki dropped you off in his camber to unpack. He hurried off for a meeting. It would be far, so he was to take the Bifrost.

Your look was directed to the golden building that held Heimdall and Loki. A flash of light was sent out and you knew, Loki was gone now. Hopefully, he would be back soon.

Hours went by as you sat in his chamber, reading. As the book in your hand was nearly done, it knocked. You called for the one outside to come in. The door opened and relived the Queen herself.

"Oh Frigga, what is the reason for your visit?" you asked, closing the book and standing up. Frigga smiled as well and answered.

"I came to ask you to join us for dinner. It would be nice if you did. Since my sons are away, I would eat alone with Odin. It would be a pleasure to have someone else to talk to once in a while," she asked friendly. You stood up and followed her through the halls. Soon you arrived in the dining hall. A long table stood there with a white tablecloth on it. You both sat down and Odin followed fast. Maids just wanted to place the plates in front of you as the door flew open.

"Your Majesty, your-" a man in golden armor called as he busted through the doors. His white tunic that peaked through the golden armor was ripped and stained with dirt and blood. Cuts were all over his face and hands. A bad feeling shoot through your body and nervousness mixed with fear was all you felt.

"What is it?" Odin boomed. The man bowed fast before he continued speaking.

"My King and Allfather, the meeting with the Vanir; it was ambushed by the dark elves. We tried to fight them but they seemed countless. They got Prince Loki," Odin shoot up from his seat. Frigga's gaze snapped towards you but you were nowhere to be seen.

You had activated your invisibly rune and were running through the halls towards the stables. You had to get to Loki. You had to try and save him.
