As I'm walking up to the palace I feel my heart hammering.

I want to pummel Loki for making me show up as opposed to coming to fetch me or at the very least being here greeting me.

Loki has been promising to take me to the palace regardless of me telling him what I said that day he came to my home was only a joke. That I don't need to go there or meet anyone. That I understand but he insisted and today, unfortunately, happens to be that day.

When I meant meeting his friends or family I just wanted to know it was coming. Maybe know their names by now such as his brother Thor but I wasn't expecting a full-on tour of the palace.

I suppose I can't deny although I'm very nervous, I'm also very glad and joyful that he's willing to bring me here. I'm pretty sure as soon as I step up to the doors I'm going to be shunned and banned though.

As I walk up I can already see the guards looking at me and back at each other.

"Just relax. Act normal," I whisper to myself.

Just as I'm about to walk up to one of the guards Loki appears in front of me and scares the life out of me.

"Good god," I say placing a hand on my chest as he smiles down at me feeling satisfied.

"I saw you from my room. Thought I'd make walking in a little easier," he says grabbing my hand before pulling me along.

The guards stare at us but don't object to me passing through.

As soon as we walk in my mouth falls open in awe.

The place is as huge as one would expect. Everything looks to be made of marble and gold. From the walls to the designs on the long stairway heading to the higher grounds.

It's pretty empty as we walk further in. I keep looking everywhere with caution.

Afraid to catch sight of the King.

I finally look back at Loki who's just watching me with a smile.

"I don't believe I've ever seen you look so ridiculous before," he says making me glare and pull my hand from his grasp.

"Thank you," I say flatly while he simply chuckles in amusement.

"You just-you look funny."

"How so?" I ask not looking at him.

I'm looking around as he takes us to a different part of the palace of which I know nothing about.

"You look like a child. So enthralled it's quite amusing to witness."

I turn to him and can't help but smile back.

"Well, this place...is quite amazing."

I feel him shrug as if to say 'It's nothing'.

"Now, where are you taking me?"

"I thought I could find Thor around here so you can meet him but heaven knows where he is," he says looking around and down the long hall.

"What?!" I ask nervously causing him to look at me puzzled.

"What? Is that not what we discussed?"
