You lay down for another healing session, your lacerations slowly becoming less raised as the skin fuses together well.

Frigga and her healers assure you that by a few days it will be as though no whip ever touched your skin. You were in shock never believing her magic would completely eradicate all signs of your injuries.

Loki's been gone for half a day at least, not even Queen frigga knew of his whereabouts. He went to see his father for a short time but then disappeared. You began to wonder where he was, the sun was setting and it would be dark soon.

Suddenly the door slammed open, Fenrir was now awake and peaking in to look at you.

"Perhaps be a bit more gentle when opening a door Pup, I don't think Queen Frigga appreciates fixing it all the time" you say amused

'I can't help my mighty paws, blame Odin for his choice of flimsy Asgardian doors' Fenrir chuckles

You laugh, deciding not to repeat what Fenrir said to Frigga. Maybe she chose the doors...you didn't want to risk offending.

You hear a loud grumble as you lay on your belly while healers hoover over you repairing your back.

You turn to Fenrir.."you can't be hungry already Fenrir?" You say surprised

'You heard it yourself Mother... a stomach never lies. It grumbled, therefore I am hungry'

You let out a laugh, "well you'll have to show me where the kitchen is Pup, I'm sure you remember as it was only this morning since you went"

"Nearly done here Mina, then you're welcome to wander through the halls with Fenrir. If Loki isn't back by the time you come back, I'll show you to his chambers"

"Loki's chambers?" You say surprised

"Yes dear, you can't sleep on these hard healing beds. Loki's room is much more comfortable, his bed practically unused. He always tends to fall asleep reading. Sitting in a chair, laying by the fire, in the gardens, the library.. pretty much anywhere other than his bed" Frigga laughs

You were excited to see Loki's childhood bedroom.

You heard another big grumble which prompted Frigga to stop the healing a bit early so you could take Fenrir to the kitchen.

You thanked Frigga for the healing session and began to leave the room. Frigga stopped you, seeing your dress had no sleeves and the halls by night were usually cold.

"Here dear, wear this. It'll keep you warm and covered" Frigga conjured a thick cape, complete with hood. It was long, warm, and so soft. Wearing it felt like a warm hug.

You step outside the room and join Fenrir who waits eagerly.

'Follow me Mother, it's not too far away'

You walk side by side with Fenrir, taking in the artistry of the palace as you walk at a slow pace.

You walk past the entrance of the palace, you could see it was dark outside. As you were passing a warm glow highlighting a beautiful ornate waterfall caught your attention.

You retreat back and stood at the top of the palace steps, looking out into the darkness.

You descended the dimly lit steps with caution, the steps were steep and you didn't want to fall. Fenrir sat atop the stairs and watched you from above.

Your eyes remained glued to the waterfall in the distance, you hear the sounds of the water cascade down as you got closer.

With all the commotion when first arriving with Fenrir you didn't get a chance to really look at the beauty of the garden. You make a mental note to come back here in the morning to see it in daylight.

None the less, the moon shining down on parts of the garden allowed you to see it in a new light. It was dark, eerie and beautiful. Much more peaceful now than when it was surrounded by guards ready to slay Fenrir.

Fenrir noticed your serenity, he made sure to walk with very light footsteps as he began to move and join you. He didn't wish to disturb the peace you feel.

You look at Fenrir as he begins to walk down the steps. You found his way of walking amusing, each paw lifted up high, then slowly lowered to the ground almost like he was walking on tiptoes.

For such a large size you wondered how he managed to keep himself so quiet. Usually his large paws thumped the ground as he walked.

His comedic walk looked very much like he was sneaking, creeping slowly trying to be inconspicuous. He was doing a great job, his black fur against the darkness made him blend into the night, and now with no sound he was truly invisible.

"Has Loki been teaching you stalking skills?" You laugh as he gets near, approaching you from behind

You turn back to look at the fountain, putting your hand out to feel the cool water.

'I'm trying not to make a sound, I don't wish to disturb your inner peace. Am I doing well?'

"You do too well! I think you've unlocked another talent Pup" you laugh along with Fenrir

"If it wasn't for your glowing eyes, I'd never know you were here" you say

'Oh let's test that theory Mother! Find me' Fenrir says playfully

You turn around expecting to see Fenrir but he's gone. He's moved his body somewhere within the garden hiding from you.

"Oh are we playing hide and seek in the dark" you say cheerily, you're thrilled to be playing with Fenrir, enjoying your time together.

"Ok ready or not here I come"

You move around the fountain, scanning the area. Trying to find the glow of his eyes, looking within the darkest of areas not lit up by the moon.

You were beginning to wonder if he was fooling you, did he just leave and go to the kitchens and eat. Because you see no trace of him, no outline of his form, no glow of his eyes, or white of his teeth.

You don't even hear his raspy breathing. Everything was deathly quiet apart from the faint waterfall sounds that are some way behind you.

"Well Fenrir, you're amazing. I see nothing! You seem to have more traits in common with Loki.. both master tricksters it seems" you call out, hoping you would get a chuckle alerting you of his whereabouts.

You walk around a tree nearing the palace gates, you think you see something dart in your peripheral vision. You turn quickly and run to where you seen movement, "ah ha, I'm getting close to finding you. You've slipped up pup"

You're back near the fountain, you look into the water pretending to be distracted. You hear steps and breathing getting closer to you. You want to wait until the very last second then turn around and scare him.

He nears, your heart begins to race in anticipation. You smile seeing your reflection in the water. Suddenly you see a reflection not of Fenrir but someone else creep behind you, a dark shadow figure.

You grip the hilt of your sword that lays around your waist but it's too late. Someone has grabbed you from behind and covered your mouth, preventing you from screaming.

Your yells muffled behind his hand, you struggle, your footing slipping as his towering form lifts you from the ground. Your eyes grew wide as you feel something sharp press against your throat.

"This is for Mina you wench!" A voice whispers in your ear.

You think you recognised the voice but you couldn't be sure. You couldn't speak, he grips your mouth closed.

The sharp object pressing harder into your neck, you feel your warm blood begin to trickle down.

Suddenly you see the eyes of Fenrir dart towards you, taking who ever holds you by surprise. You use the opportunity and elbow his side, making him release your throat.

You jump to the side as Fenrir barges right through the waterfall demolishing it completely as he chases after the intruder who just gripped you.

It was so dark you could barely see a thing. You didn't have any time to get up from the ground when you suddenly see a large thunderbolt crack down from the sky, illuminating the entire garden.

You heart pounds against your chest when you see it's an angry Thor, wielding his hammer aiming at Fenrir who chases Huggin.

Thor is aiming his hammer at Fenrir, ready to strike.
Without thinking your motherly instincts kick in, you dart up from the floor releasing your sword from its sheath.

You sprint as fast as you could run towards Thor who's eyes are ablaze with electricity, his whole body lit up, lightening flowing through him.

You ready your body for impact, unsure if your weight against his will be anything more than just a nudge. But you needed to aim his hammer away from Fenrir.

Instead of his body, you push yourself forward into the hammer itself. Causing Thor to drop it, making it slide sideways across the floor.

You fall to your knees, your cape covering your body.

"You wicked witch, you will not have Asgard!" Thor booms, bringing out his hand. His hammer like a magnet thrusts back to his hand and he aims it at you.

You have no time to turn around and reveal yourself, Thor has already pushed out a white bolt from his hammer. You're suddenly engulfed in fur, you hear a pained agonising howl that pierces your ears. The cry so high pitched and loud it resonated all around Asgard.

You felt Fenrir's body slump to the ground around you. Your heart felt like it was ripped from your chest as you realise Fenrir swooped in and protected you from Thor's blast.

"Fenrir, Fenrir" you call out, as you push the side of his body. You try desperately to nudge him, to make him move, make him talk but you get no response.

You're hidden in the middle of Fenrir, who had curled himself around your body, Thor and Huggin not yet realising it's you.

"Get up Grayah, look at me as I take you from this world, sending you down to Hela with your demon  dog"

You cry into Fenrir's fur, your heart falling to pieces. You sob uncontrollably, having never felt such heartache.

"Stand up!" You hear Thor yell once more

You feel numb, a hollowness replacing your broken heart. Your mind dazed, you react to your hurt without thinking.

You stand up quickly and jump over Fenrir's slumped body. Taking Thor by surprise as he see's it's you. You don't see Thor, you see only an intruder who took away your beloved son.

"Mina!" Thor says shocked

His hammer drops to the ground as he runs towards you. But you only see vengeance, you raise your sword and run into him ready to impale Thor on your sword.

Suddenly you're hit from the side, your body wrapped in arms and thrusted away. You roll around the ground entwined with another body.

Loki pins you down to the ground, holding your arm that wields the sword to the side forcing you to let go of it. You fight, struggling from his grip, looking to Thor. Your eyes ablaze with red fury, you want your revenge.

"Mina! ... it's me Loki" he yells trying to get through to you

"Let go of me! Leave me at him! He needs to pay, he killed Fenrir! He took my son" your pained angry yells echoing loud, allowing Thor and Huggin to hear clearly.

Loki looked to the side while holding you down and saw Fenrir's body unmoving on the ground. His heart felt as though a dagger plunged right through it, stopping it from beating "Noo!"

He quickly got up from you and ran towards Fenrir.
You sit up and look at Loki, his hand emanating a green glow at Fenrir's chest. You grab your sword and sheath it.

You run over to Fenrir and join Loki kneeling down into his fur.

You weep as you claw desperately at Fenrir's lifeless body. "Please Loki, save him!"

You place your head on his chest and sink into despair. You hear Loki begging the Gods to save his son. Pumping all his healing magic into him but knowing it's doing know use.

Loki removes his hand and moved to you. He grips your body trying to pull you into an embrace but you refuse to let go on Fenrir. You refuse to accept he's gone.

Loki cradles you from behind. Allowing both of your bodies to sink into Fenrir's fur. You both cry, weeping for your dead son.

"I'm sorry Loki.... I didn't no. I thought Mina was dead, I thought Fenrir escaped with Grayah and took over the palace" Thors voice trembling and full of remorse.

You looked at Thor with your red swollen eyes, behind the tears and hurt he saw your anger.

"If it wasn't for Fenrir, I'd be dead. He saved me, not you, not Huggin, not Loki! He saved me by killing Grayah. He was my saviour, and I was his. Our bond was like no other, my son, my poor pup. Finally free after the cruelty of odin to then be killed by an Odinson!"

Your face seethes as you spit your venomous words at Thor.

Loki feels ashamed, you were right. He didn't save you, just caused so much hurt. Fenrir was your comfort and now he's gone.

"You Gods, sit on your thrones looking down at everyone else. You're all Selfish cowards, and a bunch of tyrants! Fenrir is.... Was ..more worthy to live and rule and would have done a far better job at it" you yell, tears streaming down your face.

You break down once more, collapsing back into Fenrir.

"My darling pup, you're such a good boy. But you deserved more. More than me, it was me who should have protected you. I'm so sorry"

You move from Loki's embrace climbing up onto Fenrir. You lay your body completely against his chest and melt into his fur. Wrapping your arms around his hair.

Loki watches you as you succumb to despair, your hopelessness turning into depression.

His mind wrecked with grief at losing Fenrir, and the image of you hollow and heartbroken he becomes angry, a darkness consuming his features.

He runs at Thor punching him in the face, grabbing him and scuffling to the ground. Thor doesn't fight back, allowing his brother to take out his frustrated anger on him.

Loki continued pummelling Thor in the face, yelling and screaming, accusing him of taking everything he ever loved away from him. He feels now Fenrir is gone, your love for him will soon disappear too.

Huggin quickly intervenes, grabbing Loki off a bloody Thor.

Loki falls back to the ground, gripped by Huggin. He sobs, feeling utterly broken yet again.

You hear Loki's sobs in the background. But can't bring yourself to leave Fenrir and comfort him.

You bury your face within Fenrir's dark locks, missing his voice in your head. Missing the rise and fall of his chest as he breaths. You scream out in misery, the heartache consuming you.

You lay there, wishing to hear him breath, feel his body vibrate as he does. But nothing, no sound, or movement escapes your pup.

"Mina. I'm so sorry" Thor says devastated

Suddenly you have a feeling, a strong pull sensation. Something is calling you.

You lift your head up and gaze in the direction of the force that calls to you.

You climb from Fenrir, trusting your instincts and walk to where you need to go.It feels as though your heart is trying to pull itself out of your chest as it guides you.

Loki notices you glide across the floor, walking away. He begins to worry and calls out to you but you pay no attention, your mind is focussed on what draws you away from Fenrir.

You stop, and look down. Thor watches you with puffy bruised eyes.

At your feet you see moljnir, Thor's hammer. It glows brighter as your feet touch it.
You bend down and grip the handle, as you touch its hilt your sheathed sword begins to light up.

Everyone watches you confused, you yourself unsure of what is happening.

You tighten your grip and pull, surprising yourself when you lift the hammer with ease.

As you bring the hammer up, like a magnet your sword has unsheathed itself and stuck right to the metal of the hammer.
As they clamped together a strong vibration flowed out of it, a powerful force emanating a blue light.

Your hand suddenly moved towards Fenrir, as though possessed, pointing the combined sword and hammer at his heart.

"Come back to me Fenrir!" You desperately yell out, your voice full of anguish.

A blue beam darted out, you steadied yourself as you felt the force push you back.

The blue power flowed into Fenrir, lifting up his entire body from the ground. He hovered as his form was engulfed in the light.

You feel your hand starting to vibrate, you felt it in your bones. You started to become weak, your mind in and out of consciousness. You begin to sway as you feel your knees buckle.

Loki yells out to you, "let go Mina! It's draining your life force!"

Loki in a frenzied panic teleports from his spot by Huggin to right behind you.

You faintly feel hands grip you as your senses start to numb. Sounds and images starting to fade away.

You hear Loki yelling behind you, "drop it Mina now!" But you fight to hold on, not wanting to let go. You can't let go, it needs to finish.

You felt yourself slipping away, being depleted of energy. A serenity pours over your body, your eyes begin to close as your knees finally give way.

You suddenly feel Thor's large hands hold you up as he stands in the front of you, guiding his head away from the powerful beam of light.

"I have her Loki, continue holding the hammer!" You hear Thor yell.

Your eyes open and look at your hands, they hold the hammer but so does Loki. He's pushing his life energy through, trying his best to conserve yours.

Thor holds you up to prevent you from falling as Loki's hands remain glued to yours stopping you from slipping away.

The colour of the beam now a blue green as Loki's green magic mix together.

Suddenly you hear a large powerful inhale, and see Fenrir's chest raise. Your heart jolting alive as you see Fenrir start to breath.

The light and power from the hammer start to diminish. Like magic your sword appears back in your sheath around your waist.

The hammer now feeling too heavy to hold as you feel weak.
You let go and it pulls Loki to the ground. Without your touch he can't hold it. It plummets like a rock to the ground pulling him down with it.

Loki groans as he hits the floor hard. Your knees buckle but Thor catches you, and lifts you up in his arms.

Everyone including you looks at Fenrir stunned. He's no longer a pile of fur slumped lifeless on the floor. He sits up, slightly confused.

He blinks his eyes, and you're amazed. His eyes have changed colour. No longer are they a glowing yellow, But a blue green. The green resembling Loki's magic and the blue that emanated from you touching the hammer. A perfect mix of both.

Fenrir looks at you in Thor's hands, not sensing any danger. He yawns and stretches his body out wide before sitting himself back down.

'Mother I'm still hungry, can we go to the kitchen now'

You laugh, feeling elation and happiness which fuels you with energy. You leap from Thors arms and run into Fenrir.

"Yes my sweet Pup, we can go to the kitchen now" you say with utter happiness, joyous tears escaping your eyes.

Loki walks to you as you hold on to Fenrir's giant leg.

He's worried you won't accept him once again. But without a moments thought, you grip onto his hand and pull him. You lean against Fenrir's leg as you wrap your arms around Loki.

"We have him back! Our son is back" you say elated.

Loki gives you the biggest smile, pushing all his questions, concerns and thoughts aside. He's just overjoyed at having Fenrir back, at seeing you resume your normal loving state.

You plant a tender kiss on Loki's lips, letting him feel your love for him is still strong. Loki relaxes in the kiss, pulling you close to his body. You start to get lost within It, your mind leaving everything else aside.

You absorb him into you, clawing at his back. Loki relishing your neediness. He wants you to want him badly, he needs you to feel how he feels every time he's near you. Full with want and need.

Suddenly you hear a rumble, you and Loki both recognise it.
You break from your embrace and chuckle..

"Our son is hungry" you both say in unison

'My stomach never lies' Fenrir says chuckling

Suddenly Loki gasps, and stares at Fenrir.

"I heard you! I can hear you Fenrir!"

You beam at Loki's stunned surprised face, and like a big kid he jumps for joy.
