The cries of death surround him as he storms the palace with his brother, charging in to find his lover.

Entering the throne room, Loki freezes.

"Another step, and your precious princess will breathe her last."

Loki stares at the man that hold a blade to y/n's throat.

"Release her," he growls.

"I don't think I will," the man grins sadistically.

"Mommy!"

I small girl runs to her, wrapping her arms around her legs. She has her mother's hair.

The man grabs the girl's arm harshly and pulls her away from her mother.

"Stay back, wench!" He hisses at the child.

The distraction is enough to allow y/n to grab the knife from the man and turn it to him.

"Do not touch her, you bastard," she seeths.

The child returns to her side, hiding behind her legs.

"Run, Hela," she orders the child.

"No!" She cries holding his mother's legs.

"Run!"

The girl listens and runs from the throne room as Loki charges the man, sword in hand.

The man draws his sword, pushing y/n away as he defends himself.

Metal clashes against metal as the duel, grunt and growls coming from the men in their efforts to end the other.

The man cuts Loki's leg making him fall to his knee. Another slash comes across his chest.

"Loki!" Y/n cries as he falls to the ground.

The man turns to her, a predatorial grin on his face.

"Your lover is no more," he says menacingly, continuing his approach.

"Then neither shall I be."

She plunges the dagger into her chest.

"No!" Loki cries, struggling to regain his feet.

He changes the man again, pain searing through his body as he bleeds.

The man is unable to defend in time and Loki's blade pierces through him. He falls to the ground, blood leaking from his lips as he dies.

"Y/n," Loki falls to his knees beside his dying lover, "please, no."

"I l-love you," she stutters while smiling up at him.

"I love you, too," tears roll down his blood covered cheeks.

He can feel his life ebb away as does hers as he leans back against to granite wall with her cradled in his arms.

Slowly, the lovers die in the arms of one another. Leaving two torn kingdoms, two broken families.

And one orphaned child.

Hela.
