Chapter 2: Magical
Years pass, and I've conquered most of the spells in my book, so I decided to play with some. I giggle as I walk around the halls. I've finally perfected the invisibility spell and have been walking around the castle to see what I can. Soon I find myself in the throne room. Upon entering, I see Loki, sitting on the throne with his golden horn helmet and his normal green armor. It's been awhile since I'd seen Loki, with my extra advancements in the magical field, and having my class being at a different time our times for talk had diminished to almost three words a meeting. Loki laughs again. "You, servant." He points aimlessly towards the opposite door. "Bring my queen a drink." He said. I feel my face grow hot when he said. I was right beside him on his right side now. "My dear Mira, may your king have a kiss?" He asked. I giggled and leaned down to his ear to whisper, "Anything for my king." I get closer to kiss his cheek, but he whips his head towards me and our lips collide. I gasp, breaking my concentration, and the spell. We just look at each other for a moment before I practically scream, "I'm sorry!" My feet couldn't carry me away fast enough. I silently cursed myself for my insolence. "Now what am I to do?" I whisper to myself.
Loki's pov
It was her. It was really her.
I haven't seen her so closely since she changed classes.
When I saw her, after the kiss, for a moment it was like we were kids again. Her hair in a long braid, threaded with gold, and more fire was dancing in her brown hair. A golden wretch graced her head and brought out her eyes. Then there was her dress. It was a dark green but it faded in some areas with a golden belt hugging her hips and her bracelets holding the shawl like materials on her arms. Even now I think she's perfect, but of course I had to screw up our friendship by a simple turn of my head.
I tried to call out to her, but it fell on deaf ears. I slump in the throne. "Now what am I do?" I asked myself. After a while I stand and head towards the balcony to clear my head. "Brother!" Thor calls. "The meal is set and you're out here sulking? Very unbecoming." He laughs. I shift back and forth for a moment. "Thor, if someone were to have possibly done a lady wrong, how does one make amends with the lady?" I asked. Thor narrowed his eyes and grabbed my collar. "What have you done brother?" My eyes were wide. "Mira and I-"
"So you've hurt Mira? Why?!" I pushed his hands off with great force. "Would you just listen?!" I almost scream. I adjust my helmet and clothes before saying, "I was messing around and Mira was there but invisible, and she-we-we kissed, but it was an accident! So she's run away and now I'm not sure what to do." I explain. Thor looked at me with a smile. "This is simple brother. Flowers are the quickest way to say that you're sorry to a lady. And we have our annual harvest ball coming up next week, I'm sure you'll be able to sincerely apologize then." He patted my shoulder. "Have faith brother." As he started to walk away he added, "You only gain a woman's heart once." I sigh and lean over the balcony bannister. "Mira." I whispered, plotting my tactical plan.
Mira's pov
I've been ignoring and avoiding Loki for five days now. With the ball being tonight, I've been occupying myself with picking out a dress for myself and helping Frigga with her dress. "My lady, I feel the blue would be the best." I said looking between the laid out dresses. "Yes, that seems right. And what about yourself. What dress will you be wearing tonight?" Frigga asked. I looked away. "Oh, I might not go." I said awkwardly. "Oh? But what about that adorable dress you had in your room?" Frigga asked. I just shrug. "Well, I'm just not feeling up for it tonight." I turn to see Frigga really close to my face. "Is this about Loki? Did something happen?" I blushed profusely and couldn't trust myself to even speak. Frigga sighed. "I knew this would happen."
"You did?" I questioned. "Yes. I knew from the moment he saw you on the rainbow bridge after your first class together that he'd started to have affections towards you. I suspected that you felt the same way after he gave you that necklace that you're wearing now." I subconsciously touched the necklace. "So," she sat on her bed. "Tell me what happened." She pulled me to sit next to her. "But what about the party?" I asked, looking at her dumbfounded. "They can wait for us, just tell me what happened." She said as I take her hands. I look into her curious and worried eyes and the words just spill out. "I was using my invisibility spell and I came across Loki in the throne room." I didn't mention him monologuing about his dream about being king. "And I was going to kiss his cheek, when he turned his head. We kissed and now I just feel so flustered."
"Interesting." Frigga said thoughtfully. "Then it's settled, you'll go to the party and you will dance with Loki. Come now, we have to get you dressed." She pulled me away to help me with my dress.
