I sigh as I am lead to the training area of Sakaar. It is a large stadium-like room filled with a great assortment of weapons. They have graciously allowed me to keep my green and silver sword, and new clothes. A green tank top and soft, grey tights. I look good, but if Loki isn't here to see me, I don't even care. My heart sinks as I think about our romance and about all the pranks and jokes we made back on Asgard. 

One particular memory surfaces. I sit beside Loki under the great lemon tree in my front yard. My goat, Hillbilly, chews on the grass, laying by my side. I rub my hand across Hillbilly's soft flank as Loki traces soft circles on my thigh. We are at peace, gazing at the stars and at each other. Sheepy, my wooly lamb, comes to us and lies down. 

My thought is crushed when I remember my predicament. So, without relish, I start practicing my fighting skills. 

~~

The battle against the Grandmaster's champion was long and tiring, filled with blood, guts and pain. One heck of a lot of pain. But, in the end, I come out the victor. 

I killed him.

But, it's okay though, right? I mean, it was kill or be killed. . . I had no choice. 

Grandmaster was thrilled, he has a new champion now, one that is sure to be a payout. People love me, I guess. I mean, they cheered uproariously and rooted for me. I suppose they're just excited to have a woman contender, because the contenders are usually men. 

Uh, this place makes me sick. 

Tell me about it.

I just did. 

You know, I wish I were any place but here.

Me too.

It's not fair, not after just figuring out who I am, and where I belong.

Yeah, you 'belonged' to Asgard but Asgard is gone now!

Asgard is a people, not a place!

Sorry, I'm just really emotional right now...

Is it that time of the mont-

NO! Heck no!

Relax, you just miss Loki.

True. Gosh, why can't anything ever work out for me?

Maybe you're cursed. 

Geez, thanks.

You're welcome.

I was being sarcastic!

So was I.

I collapse onto the bed in my room, and slide dramatically off and lie on the floor instead. Why and how did I end up back here anyways? I've already asked this a million times, and I still have no idea. Sakaar. The one place I thought I'd never see again. Sakaar. The one place Loki will probably never think to look.

Sakaar. My prison. 

And the worst part is, that I have to wait for him to come find me. I have no idea how to 

1) steal a ship

2) take off in a ship

3) pilot a ship

4) navigate a ship

5) fly a ship through space

6) avoid the Grandmaster's ships that are shooting at the ship I'm in

7) destroy the Grandmaster's ships that are attacking the ship I'm in

8) find where Loki is

9) land a ship

10) not die doing #1-9 

So it looks like I'm stuck being the damsel in distress. 

I wonder when Loki will find me? Today, tomorrow, two weeks from now, two months from now? When is 'now' anyways?

Why can't life be easier?

Why do I not know how to pilot a ship?

Am I destined to be here forever? Killing people for sport, making money by taking the lives of others?

Am I destined to be lost forever?
