"I will burn you."

I roared at Thoth who glared at me. He did not seem phased by my threat. The next that happened, well it happened so fast I almost did not see it. Thoth used his magic to conjure a blade in his hand and he charged at me. I let out a scream but I blinked and when I did Loki was in front of me, daggers in hand, defending the attack, defending me. My eyes widened at the sight.

"Loki.."

"Go, my queen, I will take care of him."

He offered. But I felt my eyes darken and my temperature rise.

"No."

I commanded as I stepped forward towards Thoth.

"He's mine."

I suddenly grasped the man by his throat. I glared into his dark blue eyes and I saw for the first time, genuine fear.

"How do I deal with someone like you? Should I destroy you right here or in front of the people as an example."

"You won't."

He coughed. A small smile rugged at his lips.

"You're too squeamish to kill people."

"Am I? Should I rip you of your skin and have your body rolled in salt and then set your body on fire? Or shall I gouge our your heart while I set your miserable corpse a blaze. What do you think? I will burn you, Thoth, for your crimes, I will destroy you until the end of times. Your actions have been your downfall and the sun will never shine on you again."

"I would have been a better ruler of Misr then you or your father ever could have been I-"

I cut him off. I had plunged my hand into his chest and clutched his heart. I pulled it out, the sound of bones cracking, skin tearing, and veins popping filled the air of the throne room. I held the still beating heart in my hand before Thoth. It was still covered in fresh blood.

"This is What now will happen to those who commit treason of the highest order. Now burn."

A flame from my hand engulfed his body. He was engulfed in flames and fell to the ground screaming and wailing from the pain. I turned back around to Loki who watched the entire scene in horror. My dark eyes met his.

"My queen if I may.."

"Silence."

"Your majesty we heard the screams and-"

Sekhmet came into the throne room but paused when she saw the burning corpse of Of Thoth and his heart in my hand. Her orange eyes widened and she stepped back in fear slightly.

"Sekhmet,"

I called to her. She hesitantly came forward.

"Have his body displayed in the streets. Tell the people that this man committed treason of the highest order, the murder of Ra."

Sekhmet's eyes widened again as she stood agape at me.

"He killed Ra?"

She asked in shock and I nodded. I tossed Thoth's heart over by his body to be engulfed by the flames.

"This man was no man fit for the throne. His ambitions controlled him. He must be an example for anyone else who tries to take out the royal line."

Sekhmet nodded. She then gave me a cloth to clean the blood from my hands. Sekhmet then turned and left.

"Are you Alright, my queen?"

Loki suddenly asked me. He placed his hands upon my shoulders. In all honestly I had almost completely forgoten he was here. I sighed.

"I suppose. I'm just.. I'm tired, my prince. Having this throne to myself is tiring and I'm not sure how much longer I can do it on my own. Today was a solid test to that. I fear of doing this alone."

I felt Loki breathe against me. He then placed a gentle kiss on my neck.

"But you don't have to."

I turned abruptly around to face him. His green eyes were a blaze with something short of passion.

"Be my queen. Please, allow me to rule with you."

"I-"

"You remember your deal, don't you? If I was proven innocent within three days you would carry on with your father's promise to marry a prince of Asgard. Well here I am, a prince of Asgard, humbling asking to join you for eternity. To make the weight of the throne less present upon your shoulders. I will cherish you and worship you day in and day out. Please, Rashida, please be my queen."

I felt a smile creep into my lips.

"This is no trick is it, Loki?"

He smiled and placed a kiss on my forehead.

"I assure you, it's not."

"Then I would be honored to be your queen."
