The fall of the All-Mother is something that cannot be accepted. By anyone. Hokulani had been there for an entirely different reason when the Dark Elves attacked. Thor had gone after Malekith and Algrim, leaving Jane Foster behind. Hokulani burst into the room a moment later, splattered with blood, hair wild as ever. Her sword is dropped as she goes to her knees at Frigga’s side, shedding her body as she does so, becoming pure, raw energy.
Despite her physical body falling into a trance-like state, she was still aware of what was going on around her. “Tell me what happened.” This was directed to the human woman, Jane, who relayed what lead up to this moment.
Hokulani entered the All-Mother’s body at lightning speed. An Asgardian was built much like a human, but they were... sturdier. She used her own healing energy to push Frigga into a coma-like state, slowing down her heart, and thus her blood flow. She was aware of Odin entering the room and taking his wife into his arms. Thor returned, unable to catch the two Dark Elves before they got to their ship.
She repaired the All-Mother from the inside out, stitching the wound meticulously, missing no detail. Making sure tissues and organs would be just as they were. When Hokulani returned to her own body, she blinked several times. Becoming aware of yourself was always a strange feeling.
“You’re sure?” The question came from Odin and Hokulani could only nod.
After a moment, Frigga stirred, lashes lifting. It was clear it took her a moment to figure out she was indeed still in Asgard and not Valhalla, then she reached up to lay her palm against her husband’s cheek. Hokulani moved aside, and Thor took her place, and then Frigga was squeezing both of them.
“Hoku, I’m assuming you’re the reason I’m here.”
“You can’t leave us so easily, my friend.” Nevermind that it took a mass amount of energy to heal an Asgardian, there was no way in Hel that Hokulani would let Frigga die.
Thor crushed her in a hug before moving to Jane’s side to make sure she was okay. As Odin helped Frigga to her feet, he spoke to Hoku. “You saved my Queen. I want to give you something in return. Name it.”
It was a well-known fact that Odin did not approve of his wife’s friendship with Hokulani. Why was anyone’s guess, though there were rumors that millennia ago, Odin had once courted Hokulani before meeting Frigga. No one dared ask if this was true or not. A long look passed between the All-Mother and the Queen of Hawiki before Hokulani turned her dark eyes back on Odin.
“Your son. I want your son.”
Thor immediately opened his mouth to protest but was silenced when Hoku held up her hand.
“Not you. Loki. I want Loki.”
