"Okay," I said to Astrid. "This is the day we've been waiting for, the day where we finally Loki the twins to insanity and I can once again sit on my rightful throne!"

"You never had a throne," Astrid pointed out.

"It's called dramatic emphasis," I waved it off. "Anyways, here's the trap," I said and held up an item.

"I can't see it,"

"What you cannot see is Changewing skin rope. Our first Loki is simple, abduct the twins and tie them to Changewings." I explained

"And where do you plan on getting Changewings?" Astrid asked.

A huge grin spread across my face as the two Changewings un-camouflaged behind me.

"Why do even bother questioning you at this point?" She sighed and rubbed her eyes. "So, how are we going to rope them up without them noticing?"

My grin only broadened. "I may or may not have spiked their food last night with a tranquillizer and Speed Stinger venom." It was almost sunrise right now, so we had about an hour to put my idea into effect.

"Your crazy," Astrid said and shook her head.

"It wasn't my idea to tunnel out of a boat, with a spoon, in the middle of the ocean." I reminded her. "Honestly I think the twins would be proud of me,"

"Sure, let's just get this over with then." She rolled her eyes, took the rope and we snuck into the twins' hut.

"Okay, grab the nearest nut and really crank the knots since we can't see them," I said and approached a bed, Ruffnut's upon further investigation. We roped the twins and then dragged them out of their hut, where we tied the other ends of the rope to the front feet of the Changewings.

"You know, this plan of yours is growing on me." Astrid grinned as we finished tying the rope.

"It gets better," I laughed then turned to the twins and shook them. "Hey, wake up!"

"Huh?"

"Wha-?"

"Fly!" I told the Changewings.

The twins' eyes immediately shot open and the dragons quickly took off, leaving nothing but the sound of distant screaming.

"Loki!" I yelled and high-fived Astrid. She may not be that into the sort of stuff, but hearing the cries of the two people cause her immense pain, fly into the sunrise, earned a satisfied grin.

"Not bad," she nodded. "What's next?"

"You take Snotlout and put this," I said and handed her a small vile. "In his moisturizer,"

"One, what is it? And two, how do you know he has moisturizer?" Astrid asked suspiciously while taking the vile.

"Fireworm venom and once he mixed up his lotion stuff with Monstrous Nightmare gel and...well, you get the idea."

"Is it safe?"

"No idea, do you actually care?"

"Not particularly,"

"Perfect," I grinned. "Now go made me proud so Loki can be proud and descend from Asgard to whisk me away!"

Astrid just raised an eyebrow at me. "You know he's way too old for you, and well, a myth, right?"

"It doesn't matter to me," I shrugged.

"What do you even see in him?" Astrid sighed.

"Black hair,"
