chapter 8
Draco stood there in the parlour where he had so many amazing memories with Loki. He chastised himself for being so emotional as if he was grieving. He was not. Loki is safe and sound.
He draws the runes and call Her. there is a moment when he thinks that maybe he is just being a paranoid little shit, that Loki will come. Maybe this mission or trip took longer than expected but he brushes it off. If it would have taken longer Loki surely would’ve sent his clone to Draco about the changes in his plans. But he has not and he has no way just to call Freyja, hiding from the heimdall’s sight. She comes in a minute he has completed the runes and when he sees he does not think about bowing or greeting her properly. He does not think about the state of her distress. He does not think about how he look that his life is in shambles. Because his life is a mess without Loki.
“Where is he?” he asks directly without any preambles.
She sighes as if she was expecting this. She looks beautiful. Even if there are bags under eyes and she had lost weight. She looks like she had been to a war and came back defeated. Draco should have been more kind but he cannot for the life of him bring himself to care about anything else other than Loki’s whereabouts.
“It is best if you came to Asgard. I will tell you everything.” She says.
Asgard? Draco’s been to Asgard under the cloak of void. Hiding from heimdall’s sight. The runes were specifically drawn to hide from his sight. And she just wanted to take him there without the cloak. Does Odin knows about this? About their relationship? Did he accept a mortal to be with his son? His questions must have been showed on his face because she sighed again.
“After Thor’s relationship with Jane he is more open to relations with Midgardians” she said.
“That is bloody amazing then, innit? Thor liked a girl for like 2 days that sits well with Odin. But Loki’s and Hela’s relationship with me and Harry for more than a year would not set well with him? Do you even realize the hell Odin has put him through?” Draco says that without any consideration of title or anything. He does not care anymore. He just wants to find Loki and that’s the end of it. He can give them his piece of mind after he has seen Loki.
“Nevermind. Let me just inform Harry where I am going and then we can be on our way.” Draco replied, not caring a bit if he appeared to be rude.
He cast a Patronus, his beautiful Ignis. “Go to Harry, tell him I am going to Asgard. If he wants to communicate he should ask Hela how to reach me. Tell him that I would appreciate it if he and Hela would come to Asgard by the end of the week”
Draco had let a proper message to show that he should not come to Asgard without a proper backup plan unless they held me hostage. He doesn’t trust the Asgardians one bit. Not even the Queen mother herself. Draco hopes that she proves him wrong. He doesn’t know how much more heartache Loki could take if Freyja tried to kidnap him.
“Let’s get going, then” he snapped.
“I know you do not trust me right now, but keep in mind I have Loki’s best interest in my heart.” She said quietly. This does not assure him one bit.
“Oh alrighty, then. Take me where he is” he said finalty.
Freyja just sighed and called to Heimdall with a flash of colourful lights, he left earth and was on the golden city of Asgard. As he turned around from the passage he saw Odin, Thor with several Einherjar. Draco came to a startling realization that he really should have thought this through
