Chapter 26
"Loki!" Thor shouts as he bursts through the door to the small room. The first thing he see's is Freya bound to a chair with a gag over her mouth. Then he see's Loki sitting on the edge of the bed with his head resting on his hands. The dark haired man raises his head slowly at the intrusion and glares at his brother.
"Is this how you watch over me? You leave me alone with her?" Loki accuses as he points to Freya. "I had hoped we were past this brother.”
"We are Loki. I went to capture her before she left for Vanaheim. I wanted to end this. For you!" Thor tells him.
"You mean for the glory, as usual," Loki spits then adds, "where is our scout?"
"He's dead. She killed him and took his form to trick me," Thor answers with a sigh. After a moment of silent contemplation he adds, "You're right. I put you in danger. I didn't think about the consequences of my actions. I am sorry brother."
Loki blinks at this admission. Hearing genuine sorrow from his brother is not something he is used to. To ease the tension he says, "we need to get her back to Odin. I am not quite at full strength, but to get this over with, I will make myself ready."
"Yes brother, let's get you back home to your beloved."
Thor is able to send a messenger to the palace with word of their imminent return and to secure passage for the three of them with a local soldier. He knows Loki is not ready for the journey and the strain of keeping Freya’s magic bound will continue to wear on him until they can get home. Having the soldier with them will help ease some of the burden so Loki can focus solely on keeping Freya's magical bindings in place. It still takes 4 long days to reach the outer palace walls. Loki had been dozing slightly when Thor wakes him. He hasn't slept solidly the entire time for fear his grip on their prisoner would weaken. "Loki, we have made it!" Thor tells him with a huge grin.
Even though he is exhausted and weak, Loki sits up and looks towards the place where he spent his childhood. It is such a welcoming site, such a comfort to know that soon he can rest and yet all his thoughts are consumed by Shelia. Enough so that even Freya can feel his need and looks up at him with a raised eyebrow.
As the group disembarks they are met by a squad of Odin's palace guards. Loki is in such a weakened state he has to be assisted, but once he see's Shelia approaching behind Odin and Frigga, he stands to full height and shrugs off any help. She hangs back as Odin nears the group.
Without preamble Odin turns to Thor, "bring her to the throne room. We will dispense with this matter immediately."
"Yes father," he quickly responds as he gestures for several guards to take Freya to the throne room, then he turns to Loki to see if he is able to proceed. Loki gives an almost imperceptible nod and with his head held high begins to stride towards the throne room. By the time they arrive and Odin takes his rightful place, Loki is beyond exhausted. He is using what little control he has left to keep himself upright and can hardly focus on the proceedings.
As Odin is announcing Freya's punishment she is busy looking around. She can feel something. She has the sense of a powerful presence. It settles on Loki's woman, the one whose form she took to try and seduce him after seeing her in his dreams. Freya turns to her and narrows her eyes as she takes in the energy emanating from Shelia. Quickly she realizes that's not quite right. The energy is not emanating from Shelia herself, but rather from something else within her. Then it hits her. Shelia is pregnant. With a child that is already showing signs of great magical talent. She begins to laugh behind her gag drawing everyone's eyes to her. As she continues to watch Shelia and focus in on the child within her womb, she can indeed sense the power that this child will wield. She laughs again even harder when she hears Odin pronounce her sentence to be death. This entire mission, Freyr's sole focus and obsession ever since having the vision of Loki's child, has been all for nothing. The cursed alliance with the Dark Elves. Many of their kinsmen killed, she herself set to be executed, all to ensure the creation and survival of Loki’s child. And it was all for naught. The child already exists. Without their planning, their assistance, or their involvement at all. The irony is almost too much for her to bear.
Later as Freya is sitting in her cell awaiting her execution, a women approaches. She is young, with long dark hair, green eyes and pale skin. She has never seen this woman, but she knows in an instant that this woman is from the Laufey blood line. "Come to gloat?" Freya accuses.
"Not at all. I came to explain. Your brother was correct. I will rule the 9 realms, but not before they can be united. I could not allow you and your brother to interfere with my plans any longer. And I have no doubt that you would."
"So you consider us more dangerous than even the Frost Giants?" Freya scoffs.
"Unpredictable and impulsive. That is far more dangerous to my plans for the future."
"So you made us kidnap Loki so we could be put to death?"
"No, I simply showed Freyr a vision of the next waypoint. Everything from that point was of your own doing. As I said, impulsive and unpredictable. While it is certain that I will rule, it was necessary to set certain events in motion to guarantee the proper parentage. “
“So you used us to play match maker for Loki and his Midgardian whore,” Freya snarls.
“Make no mistake, my mother is strong and proud and an honorable warrior. I did what had to be done for the sake of the realms and I will continue to do so, but your usefulness has come to an end,” she states as she turns and walks away.
"Where is my brother now?" Freya calls after her.
The woman stops and without turning with a small smile asks, “don’t you know? His execution was already carried out," before continuing down the hall.
