Denouement Beauty {Pure Illusion Series: Book 6}

Chapter 3

A/N: I don't want you guys to think that in seven chapters I'm done writing Sigyn and Loki forever. Far from that actually. I have so many plans for new stories with them that I'm eager to write. I'm thankful for each and every one of you that have written or voted on one of my stories. In the coming chapters i will be answering questions and filling you in on information I know some of you crave, not to mention some answers I know you will need in the final chapters of our story. As always, sit back relax and enjoy chapter 3. 

P.S - The photo above is a reference for what Vali and Narvi look like (at least to me). I really enjoyed  Nanihoo's work of Sigyn, Loki, Vali and Narvi over the years. If you wish to explore more of her work, her DeviantART is: https://www.deviantart.com/nanihoo

"Faster Mommy faster! We gotta catch Vali and Daddy!"

Sigyn clenched her legs tighter around Sto, her hand tightening around Narvi's midsection as the stallion moved faster to catch her husband and her youngest son. Narvi squealed with delight as they seemed to fly towards Snowfire, the brilliant white colt's tail streaming out behind him. Sto easily overtook Snowfire, as he had six legs to help. Sigyn, pulling up the stallion a little bit so she and Narvi could wave.

Of course, much to her displeasure, the three of them vanished the moment they waved, only to appear in front of her several yards ahead. If they were in earshot, she might have yelled at Loki not to use his magic, but it was futile at this point. Instead, she spurned Sto faster until he again caught his son.

"Magic won't keep working dear husband!" Sigyn shouted just before she pushed Sto into a final sprint, the waterfall area in sight. The stallion came to a drastic halt, half rearing on four of his legs.

Snowfire came next to Sto in a matter of moments his sides moving in and out as he attempted to catch his breath. His black optics flickered to the King and one day his master as they dismounted and ground tied him nearby Sto - who was already pulling up mouthfuls of grass.

Sigyn and Loki had both dismounted before helping their sons down. No sooner than the boys' feet had touched the grass were they stripping down and screaming while they ran into the water. The King and Queen couldn't help but chuckle as they both jumped back out of the water the moment they realized it was freezing. It didn't take them long until they were both daring one another to get in the water.

"Care to take a dip my Queen?" Loki waved his hand over the both of them, changing them both into garments to swim in. For him, simple black trousers and for her an elegant purple dress that came down just above her knees.

Taking her hand, lacing her fingers through his, she gave him a soft smile while she started to pull him towards the water. The King followed willingly as she took a few steps into the water but quickly retreated once her toes felt the icy sting. For some reason, she had thought that maybe the boys were being overdramatic about the temperature of the water. 

"It's as if you have neglected all that I ever taught you my love." Loki replied to her retreat. His hand touched the edge of the water, warmth spreading from his fingertips out into the water around them, even the waterfall.

She knew the moment the water was at least somewhat pleasant to be in as both boys went jumping back into the water. The maiden lightly stepped back into the water, the warmth of Loki's magic spreading up through her body. They both entered the water to where the two boys were playing; a game of sorts breaking out as all parties began to splash one another.

The laughing and shrieking that carried on made her laugh even louder. It was only in moments like these that she could forget Thanos and that she ever really saw Loki laugh. Everything seemed to melt away in a moment. Sigyn called a truce and waded back to the shore.
