He nodded, trying his best to keep his fear from showing. He had no right to be afraid of his death when he was going to kill the other as well.

“Perhaps in the next cycle the Norns will be kinder to us,” the hope in his voice rang false even to him, “but as it is I will do my best to ensure it’s at least a fight worthy of your death.”

Living Death

@victorious-muses asked: “Where I come from, ghosts are not to be taken lightly.“ (from Sigyn) from this post

Sylvie sighed, watching the Draugr walk by. “Maybe not,” she said, a little too nonchalantly. “But that’s no ghost, is it?” True, the thing had once been dead, and the undead were nothing to be scoffed at. But they were a good bit less intimidating to Sylvie than a ghost. Ghosts couldn’t be put away as easily as a draugr could, and she had no problem with putting this one away, if she needed to do.

“A well meant lie is still a lie,” he sighed, “Odin will never let me be free, he’d sooner kill me.”

@victorious-muses​​ asked “I do not believe that.” { therapy/trauma/post trauma starters }

❝ You’re so many things Sigyn. Loyal, kind, intelligent.... but despite being right so many times in our marriage; I’m afraid this isn’t one of those times. ❞ He did appreciate her optimism, it was one of the many reasons he loved her (and there were loads); but her loyalty to him was blinding her to what he really was. He was a monster; plain and simple. Why else wouldn’t his parents Odin and Frigga tell him he was a Frost Giant? He wasn’t even sure why they had kept him in the first place; other than to use him as some political tool...at least, that’s what he assumed Odin had planned. He couldn’t believe his mother would ever have seen him in that way.

It didn’t change how much it hurt, or how traumatic learning about his true heritage had been. Loki had hidden away for days, leaving the comforts of the palace for an abandoned hut far from the heart of Asgard. Yet no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t seem to move past how betrayed he felt, or the fact that he now felt like he was a danger to everyone he cared about. He’d not told anyone where he was going, he would have accepted living alone forever, however hard that might have been...he should have known Sigyn would find him. He knew he shouldn’t be, but he was happy to see her. He didn’t feel so alone with her by his side, even if she was in danger now because of him.

❝ We all know Frost Giants are monsters, which means I’m one too. ❞ Sigyn had been doing her best to comfort him, but for all her efforts, he was unable to see things the way she did.  ❝ It explains so much. Why Odin always favored Thor, why I’m so...evil, why I’ve always felt like an outsider or why I’m so....vile. It’s because I am. ❞

The wind shifted quite suddenly. What was a sunny day was beginning to turn quickly. Clouds blotted out the sun and began to swirl in the sky above. The swirling clouds turned to a vortex and in the center they parted. A portal yawned open and suddenly she fell through. Her body was at terminal velocity and heading straight from the ground below.

Maybe it was the sudden gust of wind that caught Loki's attention as it pulled his hair across the page of his book, or the sudden loss of the brightness in the sky, or the crackle of energy in the subtle magical field, but he lifted his eyes to the sky just in time to see the portal spread wide, and a black speck tumble out.

At first he thought it was a bird, not from the portal itself but closer and foreshortened, but a moment later the truth of limbs and torso struck him. And the body wasn't slowing.

He reacted, leaping to his feet and taking a running hop, skip and jump as he gathered his magic, leaping into the sky as his magpie form enveloped him.

She woke up in a hollowed out shack, the windows long broken and the roof blown off from a storm. Her hazel eyes gazed around the ruined expanse, just as the clouds began to darken the sky. She heard the roar and it shook her to her very core. It was unearthly. Without questioning it further, she scrambled to her feet and began to run, just as the monster in the sky took note and gave chase. (Sigyn getting pruned.)

"Here! Over here!" Loki called to the woman, beckoning to her urgently. "Quickly, quickly..." Alioth was swift and ravenous, so those pruned had to be even quicker, and more clever, in order to escape it. To buy her time, he threw magic, an illusion of Asgard's palace, to the side of the storm. It was not yet as advanced, as intricate, as his older counterpart's had been, but it was better. Since he had began to learn enchantment, his magical skill overall was improving...

For every "♡" I get I'll give a tip on how to win my muse's heart.

But not romantically. More like, how could Sigyn gain second mom love?

Honestly the biggest thing with getting his familial or even platonic love is treating him like a person rather than an animal. Even when he's a giant wolf physically he's still very intelligent and a lot of people forget that.
