You've been summoned to the throne room. You enter the hall, only to find Loki yelling at Odin and Frigga with Thor sitting in silence. Loki stops and looks at you. He seemed.. desperate. Odin talked, calmly.
"Y/N, come forward."
Loki shouts.
"You can't do that!"
You frown and asked confused.
"What?... What's going on?"
Odin says.
"I'm sending you on a mission to Alfheim. You will travel alone. I want you to integrate among the dark elves, live with them, gain their trust and give us information about everything you can find out."
You look at him neutrally and say.
"You mean... you want me to be your spy and betray the dark elves? That means that I could die."
"You are in my service!" Odin shouts.
"NO, SHE'S NOT! YOU CAN'T RISK HER LIFE ONLY BECAUSE YOU WANT INFORMATION!" shouts Loki back.
"I'll go." you say coldly, causing them to stop and look at you. Loki steps forward and puts his hands on your shoulders. He was begging you to stay.
"You can't go.... you can't leave me..." he whispered to you, pleading.
"I have to, it's my duty, it's for my king, for Asgard." you say neutrally.
Odin nods and says.
"You'll leave now."
"NOW?!" Loki looked at his father shocked, while you just nod and walk away.
You arrive in your room and pack your things. A few seconds later, Loki comes after you and starts helping you packing your things. He was quiet, he knew there was nothing he could do to change the situation. After some time, you finish packing and you head towards the exit of Asgard. Suddenly Loki grabbed your hand and made you face him. He hugged you tightly, without any words. You hugged him back. You could feel your emotions trying to break you, but you stood strong to comfort your friend.
Loki whispered something in your ear, but you couldn't understand because it was in another language. You look at him questioningly and he said, knowing your question.
"You'll find out one day." he stroked your hair.
You went towards the bifrost and with a last good bye look, you were transported to Alfheim.
*
Well, there's a big, big time skip!
Twelve years passed. With the elves, you became one of their best assassins. You gave information to Odin for 2 years, but after considering, you decided to stop. He took everything from you by forcing you to come and live with the elves. At least you were accepted and trained. You could also remember Loki, your friend. Somehow, you managed to fix a little your life.
The king of the dark elves asked you to come to him. You enter the hall (deja vu.....). Well, there was no yelling there. The king looked at you and said.
"We are leaving to Asgard."
You freeze. Asgard.... of all places?! The king continued.
"There will be a great celebration and we were invited, therefore, we'll go. It's an opportunity for us to gather information. You are coming with us for protection. Dress nicely, but take weapons with you and be always prepared for a fight. A party like this attracts a lot of thieves and criminals. Understood?"
"Yes, my king."
Then, you leave. On your way towards your room, the thoughts washed over you. You were going to see your homeland, your friends! And the man/god who destroyed your life.... and Loki. Loki... how was he? Anyway, you got to your room and chose a dress, which had a hood for you to cover your face, perfect to have some hidden weapons within and good for a possible fight.
Finally, the royal family and you left and got to Asgard. The party was big and loud. Everyone noticed you and the dark elves and the tension appeared in the air. You looked around cautiously, and you eyes landed on Loki. Your breath caught in your throat. He looked more handsome than you remembered. You stared at him for a few seconds, then quickly looked somewhere else.
The party continued. You watched over the royal family the whole time. Suddenly, you felt a tap on your shoulder and you turned to see a young, charming man. He smiled brightly and said.
"Would you like to dance?"
You stayed quiet, then said neutrally, trying to seem embarrassed.
"I don't dance quite well, sir, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable during the dance.
"No one could make me feel uncomfortable during a dance, trust me." he held out his hand for you.
You hesitated, but finally, accepted. As you danced, you tried to seem a little clumsy. It was a good opportunity at least, to watch over the royal family...... and Loki. You could see people from different angles. After the dance ended, you went to the table with food and took a glass of wine. Then, you returned to watching the dark elves. Suddenly, you realized, Loki was nowhere to be seen. You turned around searching for him, trying to be as calm as possible.
You turned again, and almost bumped into someone and almost spilled your wine on that person. Luckily, there was no accident. You said quickly.
"I'm so sorry, I..." you looked up and stopped in mid sentence. Loki was the person you almost bumped into. You made sure your face was covered. Loki looked at you amused and raised his eyebrow. He said charmingly.
"No worries dear, I should've watched were I was going too."
You smiled politely. Anyway, to your surprise, the god remained next to you and watched the dance quietly. Then, he spoke again.
"So, are you part of the royal family?" he was obviously talking about the dark elves. You answered.
"No, I'm just.... a friend" Loki nodded, and a few moments later, he asked another question, seeming more hesitant now.
"Tell me, do you know by any chance..... a girl, woman.... called y/n?"
You were speechless. He was actually asking about you! He still cared for you! But.... your lives were so different.... you couldn't talk to him without revealing you identity. You had to destroy every connection between Loki and you, y/n.
"Unfortunately, no, I do not know her."
Loki nodded and stayed quiet after that. Some more time passed. At some point, Odin got up and asked for everyone to be quiet.
"I want to thank everyone for coming to our celebration! I wish everyone a year full of prosperity and happiness!"
All the guests clapped and cheered. Suddenly, the doors swung open. Everyone turned to see an imposing man at the entry. He gave the guests a charming yet dark smile and walked forward. You quickly looked at the elf king who closed his eyes and sighed, then nodded slowly towards you. The elf....... was his banished son. The elf spoke directly to his father, his voice melodic.
"Well, father, fate brought us together again, even if you wish it didn't happen."
"Son, please, understand-"
"NO! I don't want to understand or listen to you." he said coldly "I.... want you dead."
He threw a fire ball at the king and everyone screamed. You were in front of the king in a second and used you own magic (surprise! you have magic too!) to stop it from hurting anyone. You say coldly.
"Over. my. dead. body."
The elf smirked maliciously and said mockingly.
"You're the royal guard? A woman?.... You'll be an easy prey."
You smirk coldly and start walking slowly towards him. The elf seems confused. You walk towards him, unarmed, willingly wanting to die? Well, it was fine with him. He threw more fire balls. You raise your hand and easily dodged them. The banished prince tried to attack you multiple times, but every try failed. You stop a few meters away from him and say coldly, while smirking maliciously.
"My turn."
You create a whip of red electric light and swing it towards the prince. You grab his ankle, then bring him towards you with a swing, only to hit him hard in the chest and send him flying outside the hall. Everyone looked at you shocked. You don't look at them, but go outside, where the prince was lying. You turn only to give the king a questioning look. The king seemed hesitant, but.... finally nodded back. You had the permission to kill his son.
You go in front of the prince and hold out your hand for him. Everyone follows outside, staying safely behind. The elf looked at you with wide eyes and suddenly threw another spell at you. You manage to dodge it, though it sends you flying backwards. You hit the ground and growl in pain and fury.
You take the cape off of your face and raise your hand. A red ball of light forms in your hand and your eyes start glowing red. You don't wait anymore and throw it at the prince, killing him. You didn't use you magic for a very long period of time, so the sudden burst of magic, makes you feel tired. You manage to turn around, and then black out and fall on the ground. The last thing you heard was someone calling you.
"Y/N!!!"
A/N: So, I would like to create 2 scenarios for this part. As you probably expect, one of them will have a happy ending and the other one not. Read the first one if you want happy and the second one if you want the tragic one.
* You wake up in a golden room, in a comfortable bed with lots of fluffy cushions on it. The sun is shining through the opened window creating a beautiful atmosphere. You slowly sit up and look around. You recognize your old room. It is as peaceful as it was when you left.
Someone opens the door. You quickly look at the entrance.... to see Frigga entering with some snacks. Some biscuits on a plate and your/fav drink. She gives you a warm smile as she approaches the bed. She says softly.
"Ah, you are awake! We were worried about you, especially someone who stood near you and watched over you for hours. It took me a lot of time and patience to convince him to leave you and go rest himself. I suppose you know whom am I talking talking about."
You nod slowly. Of course Loki was worried about you..... but after all this time? He still cared about you? You remember how he asked about you at the ball. You ask.
"Does he... still care about me?"
"Oh, my dear! He wasn't himself anymore since you left. He still pranked everyone and he kept his personality... but all the smiles he gave us were fake. He was broken inside and I saw that."
You remain quiet. Suddenly the doors slam open and you hear Loki's voice.
"Is she awake?!?!"
The god of mischief bursts into the room. He freezes as he sees you awake, looking at him. You blink a few times, then raise your eyebrows and say neutrally, yet sarcastically.
"You know you don't have to yell for the whole Asgard to hear you, right?"
Frigga smiles then gets up and leaves. Loki doesn't answer just stares at you. He didn't seem to believe that you were back after all this time, that you were talking to him. He was able to see you again. The god approaches the bed and sits down. He raises his hand shakily and touches your cheek. You lean in his touch and close your eyes, smiling. You take his hand in your and look at him.
"I am here. This isn't a dream, I am truly here...." you say this more to yourself than to him, but the words affected you both. Loki pulls you towards him and hugs you tightly, burying his face in your shoulder. You stay like this for some time, quietly, just enjoying the presence of each other.
After some time, you pull away. Loki looks at you with a small smile. You say teasingly.
"And here I thought you forgot about me and found another girl to annoy...."
Loki grins and says.
"No girl can replace you. I tried to talk and tease other girls but either they were mean, either they fell for me. So, no girl was good enough." he shrugs. "I guess only you work with me."
You both go outside for a walk and talk a lot about everything that happened to each of you during these years. Some time later, you meet with Odin, who seemed more nice with you now. He was talking to the king of Alfheim and you found out that they were now allies. It looked like all the problems were solved.
Some days passed. Loki and you became practically inseparable once more. You were able to pull more pranks with your assassin training, because you could both sneak and act into fooling other people. You were spending all the time together. You were reading books and discussing. When the night was coming, you were either staying up and talking, either sleeping together, but you were the one to fall asleep faster and Loki would carry you in your room, then leave. Otherwise it would have been a little inappropriate.
One evening, you and Loki went to the gardens. When you were looking in the fountain, Loki pulled a flower out of nowhere and handed it to you. You smiled and thanked him with a small blush. Loki hugged you from behind, wrapping his hands around your waist and leaning his chin on your shoulder. You look at him and say teasingly.
"Why all the affection?"
"Maybe because I just want to be affectionate with you..." Loki said mysteriously.
You turn fully to him tilt your head to a side. Loki smiles and leans closer. He stops a few inches from you, almost asking your permission. You smile a little. So, the god kisses you. The kiss is gentle. He pulls you closer to him. A few moments later, you pull away and smile at each other.
A month later, Loki proposed to you in the exact same place. Of course, you said yes! And a little time later, you got married! You had two children, a boy and a girl. You lived happily together for the rest of your lives.
* You wake up in a cell, on a bed of metal. There is a cold air around you. You look around and see no one around you. You stay still for a few seconds, then you get up and start walking in circles. Suddenly, you hear footsteps and you see some guards opening you door cell. You look at them coldly and ask.
"Where are you taking me?"
"You'll see." one of them answers and drags you outside. You follow the guards without struggling to escape. They lead you into the great hall. When you enter, all the eyes are on you. You see the elves of Alfheim and the gods. You smile maliciously and walk quickly towards Odin who was looking at you. The guards quickly follow your surprised by your action. You take your hood off and look at the king with arrogance, then at the royal family of elves. Odin speaks.
"You've been sentenced to death, Y/n Y/l/n because of your crime."
"And, ha, what crime did I commit?" you ask arrogantly.
"You have killed my son right before our eyes." interjects the elf king.
You turn to look at him with a death stare and a dark smile. You say coldly.
"So you're a traitor... just like him." You look at Odin.
"How dare you?!"
"Nah, how dare I? Really?" You approach the elven king.
The guards quickly try to catch you, but you flick your hand and the guards fly towards the opposite room of the room. Odin stands up and everyone panics. You snap your fingers and your whole outfit changes to a red blood dress and your eyes start glowing red. You unleash your magic over everyone in the room. You kill the royal elven family with no mercy and then turn towards Odin.
Frigga runs towards you but you stop her with your magic. You look at Odin and say smirking maliciously.
"This... is.... your last day." Right when you were about to hit the king, a powerful voice echoes through the hall.
"STOP!"
Your turn around to see Loki coming towards you with a furious look. You look at him emotionlessly and say.
"And what do you want?"
"Stop right now! This isn't right! You can't kill that easily!"
"Says the god of mischief. Really, Loki, you have become weak!"
"No! I have mercy! I feel something for these people! And that's power! A power you don't have! You've changed.... from the lovely person I knew.. from my best friend... to this." he looks at you with hate.
The words hit you hard. You stop your magic and drop everyone. You can feel the sadness, the regret wash over you and a tear slides down your cheek. Loki approaches you, also with tears in his eyes and wipes it away. He whispers.
"It's not too late to come back... to return to me..."
".....What I did can't be undone. I will be hunted... and probably killed one day. No one can forgive me. I can't return here, Odin will never forgive me. I am homeless.... literally homeless."
Loki's breathing becomes shaky. He whispers.
"I forgive you. Please..."
Another tear falls. You swallow hardly and whisper.
"I'm sorry."
You stab him. You did it to make him hate you and override easier the fact that he'll never see you again. Loki looks at you in shock and pain. He falls on the ground while Frigga screams and rushes towards him. Odin shouts.
"GUARDS! GET HER!"
You look at everyone emotionlessly. You give Odin a last malicious smirk and then snap your fingers and disappear.
The guards looked for you in the whole Asgard, but didn't find you. Meanwhile, in Alfheim, there was chosen another king who was also looking for you and of course trying to kill you. Loki recovered from the wound and he was able to walk and fight normally after a good period of time.
And you... you actually disappeared because no one ever saw you again. What can I say? Some mystery is always welcomed in a story...
