Chapter 11
Absolutely spine chilling situation was there. Sigyn sat on the throne like a dummy. Mind not working, neither did her body. As Loki was taken towards box her body felt several waves of goosebumps. He was closed in the box.
"I request, my queen, to start this event and bring proud to vanaheim" her advisor offered her a sword.
She was breathing unevenly as there is some blockage in her windpipe. She took the sword and walked towards the box. There was a small opening from which Loki's eyes can be seen. She looked at him, he doesn't seem scared. Another one of princely qualities. Soon people started encouraging Sigyn to kill him like cheerleaders.
There were many other holes to pass swords through. She prefered nearest to his heart. If dying it's in his fate then she want him to die as soon as possible. Pain if hundred swords passing through body will be so much for him.
She reminded herself that she is a warrior, took a deep breath and without further thought she drove a sword through his heart. His eyes widened first but then his lids fall slowly.
Entire Vanaheim rejoice and then ninety nine more swords were inserted in the box. Soon blood came out of box. Sigyn felt nauseous and stepped back.

Until the celebration ends everything was alright but once she was in her room. It felt so lonely. She was suddenly overwhelmed with guilt, anger, frustration and sorrow. The scene rewind in her mind- Loki loosing glow in his eyes as first sword cut his heart and slowly his eyes closing. Those green eyes....
Sigyn fell on her knees an abrupt sob escaped her lips. He was innocent and was madly in love with her. He didn't deserve it. She would have never gone to Asgard had she known he will love her so much.
She couldn't find any trace of anger in her heart as if she didn't have energy to be angry. She fell on the bed and involuntary tears escaped her eyes. She doesn't know if she even slept ir not.

Few days passed, scientists informed Sigyn that their realm is moving towards the star and hence, temperature is rising. Sigyn told them to decrease the temperature in their artificial atmosphere. If the realm didn't stop moving their entire realm will soon be doomed.

When Sigyn is not occupied with work she generally remain in her room. No meeting with Aiden or anyone. Everytime Loki crossed her mind she feels a heartbreak.
"Heartbreak? Your heart breaks every minute. I can't do whatever you want me to do just because you'll have a heartbreak if I won't do it" Sigyn told Loki.
"Try this. I made this for you" Loki said.
"Fine just don't tell me to wear shells instead of clothes too"
She wore the neckless Loki has made from shells. They were colourfull shells looking gorgeous on her neck.
Loki smiled more than necessary. He is not just happy to see her wearing that neckless but he is laughing.
Sigyn rolled her eyes. "What is it now? Why are you laughing?"
"I am so sorry my lady but I can imagine you wear just shells. We just need two big ones" he pointed towards her breasts and like he was trying to measure the size he opened his fingers in the air like holding a big ball. "Like very big ones"
Sigyn smacked his hands. "Show some respect you are measuring my size. How ridiculous"
"I am sorry now that you have mentioned that it took my mind in this direction. I am really sorry" his gave an apologetic look. "Can I take you for lunch just to lighten up your mood?"
"Fine. Food's better be good otherwise"
"My head and your thighs"
She glared at him. He cunningly covered it. "I thought you could kill me with thigh grip. Right?"
She huffed and rolled her eyes.
They were sitting in a restaurant waiting fir their food. Loki casted a glamour spell to look different to everyone but same to Sigyn. He was looking at her while she avoided his eyes.
"Listen, Samara, if, someday, I... could no longer meet you or never come back to you, just look at this neckless and remember me. You'll feel that I am always with you"
Sigyn was crying holding that neckless in her hand. "I don't feel like you are with me, Loki". Her so strong mind remains puzzled these days. She didn't know what has happened to her.

"They are only visible at night or in the dark that's why I told you to give me your one night" Loki told her.
"They are beautiful, Lucas" Sigyn looked at him and smiled.
They passed the dangerous dark forest just to see unicorns grazing in a valley. Loki brought her to see them because she always heard stories of these beautiful shining and glowing horses but never got chance to see them.
They were behind the bushes and suddenly Sigyn ran towards them. All the horses looked up at her and angrily rushed towards her. Loki came in between and covered Sigyn.
"Leave me. I can train them and ride one" Sigyn struggled to be freed from his arms.
Soon unicorns shoved Loki with hoofs and when they fall Loki still tried to protect her. Unicorns seemed keen to kill them. All the sudden a crack of bone was heard.
Sigyn freed her hand and twist it with a spell so that all the unicorns halt to stop. She made dancing light to amuse unicorns and then they went away after that light.
Sigyn saw Loki's eyes were closed. "Lucas, Lucas wake up". She was worried. She immediately laid him on his back and she sat there to examine his wound. She is not expert in healing but it feels like a broken bone and she tried healing it.
Loki opened his eyes and soon closed them again. Sigyn could take that sign as he is fine now. He breaths are even, no crack bones can be felt. He is safe.
Loki woke up in the middle of night lying on a beach with Sigyn beside him. "How are you now?" Sigyn asked.
"Are you alright? Did you do some magic to save me?" He wanted to know it.
"I was stupid. I put your life in danger I didn't know they are not friendly creatures. I don't know any magic but I saved you somehow. You are lucky, you are still alive"
"Is that an apology and are you worried for me?"
Sigyn thought for a second and then replied. "You shouldn't have planned to go there. That was very bad idea"
"Just wanted to fulfill your wish, Samara" he leaned forward towards her. "If you'll admit you care it won't hurt you, you know"
Loki leaned forward to kiss her but she turned her face away. He placed a kiss on her cheek and then he slided more closer to her to give her more kisses here and there. "I just want to fulfill all your dreams"
He continued kissing her neck holding her waist he travelled down to swells of her breast and she didn't stopped him. He came back to shoulder and kept on kissing her back, shoulder and spine as much exposed by her dress. "Thankyou" she murmured under her breath but he listened and smiled.
Sigyn's temperature increased and her breaths were becoming short. Loki knew what his kisses are doing to her. Then next minute she wriggled from his arms and laid on the ground on her stomach side.
He tried to reach her again but she stood up and went to sea and dive into it to calm her needs, to lower her temperature.

Sigyn woke up from bed. Memories are haunting her. Sometimes in dreams, sometimes in her mind Loki is always there. She decided to go out. This guilt for killing someone innocent is taking so many days to be forgotten. She thinks that it's just guilt.
When she reached garden she saw someone standing in the dark.
