Chapter 20
She stood up from his lap and dusted her dress off of the dirt it had collected from the previous events "Loki" she mumbled while looking at him "yes love?" He asked, feeling confused at her drastic change in mood. She sighed before trying to speak, words coming out at the wrong times, making the sentence strange to one's ears "Enchessa" "Loki I-" he pressed a finger to her lips "what troubles you" he asked, tilting her chin up to face him.
She sighed once more before pulling herself away from his grip to look around "none of this would've happened if I had just-...if I had never came here" she looked to the ground and felt so guilty for what was happening right now in the city of gold "darling, everything happens for a reason" he tilted her chin up again while staring into her grey eyes "-and perhaps meeting you is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me, and I am grateful that you are here with me right now" she stared into his eyes as she hugged him "thank you" she whispered while wrapping her arms around him, burying her face into his chest as he hugged her back.

"Uh, Loki?" "Yes love" "we're in the kitchen, remember" she chuckled "oh, yes" he pulled himself away as dusted off his own clothes while resting his hands on his hips "well, we should head off before they-" a loud rumbled caused Loki to shield Enchessa as he pulled her behind the island counter "Loki what-" "sh" he placed his finger on his lips as he listened to strange sounds coming from down the hall way "can you teleport us one more time?" She shook her head 'no' as she frowned, her energy being absolutely depleted as Loki looked away.
The loud crash was coming closer and Enchessa held onto Loki tightly "Loki, what are we going to do, they're here" she whispered while panicking at Loki as he was staring at the floor "I need to get out of these" he gestured towards the metal gloves "I'm utterly useless with them on" he whisper-yelled at himself, avoiding eye contact as he tried his hardest to come up with a escape plan.
The loud bang was even closer than it was before "Loki I-" "we need to get out of here" "I can-" "not now" he snapped, looking behind the counters to see shadows "Loki I can-" "NOT NOW!" He yelled in a hushed tone while shaking his hands prove that he was indeed pissed "You listen to me right now" she snapped, crossing her arms. Loki looked at her, a shocked expression written all over his facial features "I can take them off" she told him, eyeing him as her hands held his metal clothed one's.
"How?" He asked, brows knitting together as he gripped her small fragile hands in his "magic, duh" she rolled her eyes playfully while giggling "I thought you said you had no magic left?" He raised a suspicious eyebrow into her direction "I never actually said all of it was gone" she smiled innocently with a devilish glint in her eyes "you sneaky little thing" Loki smirked while shaking his head "I try" she shrugged her shoulders with a small laugh followed behind.
"So what are you planning on doing?" He asked as she started to recite ancient spells she had learnt "let me concentrate please, Loki" he nodded his head silently as he wandered about the kitchen, hand on his chin as the other held his elbow in a thinking position while his curious green orbs scanned the kitchen.
"Are you done yet?" "Loki." Enchessa warned sternly, growing slightly annoyed at his impatient behavior "it'll take a few minutes, can you wait that long" she asked nicely while sarcastic smile "no" he answered with a smirk "ha ha" she rolled her eyes before turning herself around to continue on her spell.
"Enchessa?" Loki groaned while his hands pulled the black roots of his hair "I'm going to die from absolute boredom, spells shouldn't take this long" "well it wouldn't take this long if you kept your whining to a minimum" "so I'm to blame now?!" He asked with a small glare "well, yes" she concluded with scoff "just let me finish, I'm almost done" she confirmed once again.
Wrapping up the rest of the spell she had started, she turned around to find her prince missing "where in Odin's beard have you gone now" she sighed while her legs randomly took their first few steps on their own.
"Loki!" Enchessa groaned from frustration as he was acting like a stubborn little child "yes, love?" He snickered as his voice echoed in her head "Loki come out now!" She turned around to find her idiotic prince just leaning against a pillar "what're you doing!, We need to go, they're after us and here you are just fooling around. We have better things to do right now then sit around, our parents might be in trouble" she growled while her hands balled at her sides "I know, I know-no need to be angry" he laughed while walking to her side as he held her hands as she glared at him.
"How can I make it up to my queen?" He smirked as she blushed at the pet name "you can stand still and give me your hands" she huffed while looking away, her cheeks flaming while she cursed to herself in her head.
He stood in front of her with his hands out as his palms faced the ceiling "now stand still, it might hurt a little" he nodded his head as he understood, he was used to pain-this shouldn't hurt a bit. She focused on the words while her hands hovered above his as a light blue glow began to appear, covering his hands as the strange slivers of light swirled around as the metal started to change colour to a bright orange as the yellow blended with it as she assumed the steel was getting hot.
Loki clenched his jaw as his hands began to burn, the heat sizzling his fingertips and his palms as he tried his hardest to hold back a painful scowl. The spell only lasted a few seconds before the metal froze to ice as he looked at her confused, it was burning hot just a second a go, and now it was colder than he was.
She took a step back as the silver coloured metal slowly faded to black as the steel just fell from his hands like ash "you-you-..." he couldn't finish his sentence as he stared at his hands he hasn't seen in years "I-I" she mocked him while smiling "...thank you..." he mumbled as her eyes widened "what did you just say" she asked while looking him in the eyes "oh don't make me regret it" he rolled his eyes while looking around them.
"Now, where are we off to?" He asked her as he grabbed her hands as he readied the both of them for teleportation "the throne room? I would assume the rest of them would be there" "including Thor" Loki grumbled under his breath as she shook her head with a smile "yes, now hurry up" "so impatient" he scoffed as she glared at him "says you" she retorted "yes, says me" she rolled her eyes at his stupid remark.
She felt their own hands start to glow before a green mist surrounded them as she felt like something sucked them into a hole, pulling them harshly off their feet before stumbling into the room of gold "my head" she groaned while having the feeling to throw up "happens the first time" he shrugged apologetically as she buried her face in his chest while he held her up.
The sound of a throat clearing snapped the both of them out of their daze "oh..OH!" Enchessa pushed Loki away slightly before bowing as the King stood on his thrown "what is the meaning of this?!" He roared once he noticed the missing gloves on Loki "I meant no harm your majesty, if I had not removed them-the intruders would've gotten to us-Loki saved the both of us-" "I find that very hard to believe" she glared at Fandral who only rolled his eyes "watch your words, Fandral-there isn't a slave standing before you, I am a crowned heir to a kingdom, I can have your head for even daring to speak to me" she sneered as Loki held her back with his own pair of glaring eyes.
"I did not mean to offend you, my princess, please accept my humble apologies" she scoffed at his lame excuse of an apology "we both know you don't have an ounce of pride in you, you can't even apologize" "Enough! You are forgetting that there is a King standing before you, show your respects" Hogun snapped at the pair, eyes falling to the princess and offering a non-verbal apology, to which she nodded her head at.
"You have broken-" "thank you, Loki" Frigga smiled before looking at Odin with the 'we'll talk about it later' face as she cleared her throat "yes" he sighed before Hogun continued "we have thankfully cleared out all of the intruders who even dared to enter the palace walls, they have all been taken of with highest of punishments" He nodded his head towards the King before bowing his head and taking a few steps back.
"They haven't attacked any of the villages, they just came into the castle saying they wanted a girl, not saying anything else" Fandral spoke up "the ones in the dungeons said the same thing, it's like they don't know what else to say-" "I don't even think they know" Volstagg added in to Sif's report "this isn't a good sign" the queen mumbled while looking down as she thought about the girl, who was it.

Everyone besides Loki, Enchessa, Frigga and Odin left the throne room as the young pair were making their way out "Loki...Enchessa" the King spoke softly as the two stopped in their tracks "yes, my King" Enchessa said as she turned around slowly to face him "we need to discuss this...problem." She knew what he was talking about as she took a few steps forward "my King, please forgive me, I wouldn't have done what I did if we weren't in the situation we were in, I can do nothing but apologize for my rash actions".
Loki smiled at her fake innocence, how she could say such strong words with equal emotion. Anyone would believe her if they heard her way of talking, a silver-tongue like himself, a lying little monster.
"What you have done is unacceptable..." Frigga gave Odin the 'look' as he wiped a wrinkly hand over his face with a loud sigh "you've taken a necessary safety measure, I let you off this time" Enchessa nodded her head as she swallowed the lump in her throat, the question she was about to ask would be a risky one, so she was debating whether or not to ask it "my King, if you would give permission-I would like to ask of you to leave the gloves off Loki, I believe he has done us right and I believe the time of his punishment should come to an end" She bowed her head and kept her eyes to the floor.
The King looked at the young princess as she held her head down in respect "we'll see" he trailed off as he waved his hand, dismissing the pair as they made their quick escape from the Kings wrath.
"That was...Odd"
