Disguised Beauty {Pure Illusion Series: Book 2}

Chapter 16

A/N: I know I know, these chapters are long (this one is shorter than the last) but hey, you guys are getting all sorts of information anddddd we're getting towards the end. I am quite sure you all will squeal at the end of this chapter. Please listen to the song as you will see how important it is to the chapter. The dress is for later on in the chapter too and is a reference for all you fabulous people who like to visualize certain things!!! Only a few chapters remain, and we are almost ready to take the plunge off our metaphorical cliff. But for now, enjoy ^_^

ALSO: PLEASE GO WATCH USA NETWORK'S "GRACELAND" BECAUSE I NEED PEOPLE TO FREAK OUT WITH ME. PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU. 

P.S- People need to chill on the Tom hate for his singing lately. Look, the guy will NEVER be Hank Williams not even his whining grandson will be him. But, I admire Tom for trying and being OK at it. He's putting in the hours and trying to make it sound good so that people will not bash him (as hard) after the movie. All I'm saying is I can't wait to see the results of his hard work. There is still over a MONTH before filming starts, chill people. 

P.S.S- Seriously listen to the song, you'll know when it's important (the end) but like seriously listen to it. And shoutout to Sanzosin for the new cover artwork! She's FANTASTIC at Loki and Sigyn stuff ^_^

Myndéa hadn’t asked what they had spoken about in her grandmother’s home; she seemed to understand it was conversation not meant for her ears. She packed them a couple meals to get them through the next day’s travel; according to Loki they would need to be close to the same place they had arrived. Vona was saddled, a little fat from her gorging of the greenery nearby, but ready to go. It was about mid day when they prepared to leave. A little later than they wished to get started but they would have to make do.

Sigyn hardly said a word while she packed, though in her defense she had a bit on her mind. Loki packed instead, moving far faster than when he had packed for the trip here. He walked out the front door first, telling Sigyn he would be waiting for her on Vona when she was ready.

The blonde looked to Myndéa, her dear friend that she had to leave yet again. A couple tears pricked her eyes, she couldn't understand why she was crying so much today, but again, emotions were not a bad thing, only a bit of a burden at times. The two embraced in a warm hug, holding on to one another tight.

“I shall miss you my friend.” Sigyn whispered, a small part of her wishing that she didn’t have to leave, at least not yet. 

“It’s okay, perhaps when whatever force against you has been vanquished, we would be able to see each other again.” 

“I would like that very much.” 

“And as far as your suitor out there," Myndéa started, "He is very kind and speaks highly of you. I do hope that he discovers that he has found favor in your eyes some day, though from what I gather he does not appear that he will ever be willing to give up on you.” Myndéa replied, having pulled away from Sigyn now so that they were smiling at one another.

Sigyn's face blushed and she looked away momentarily before looking back at her childhood best friend. “I’ll miss you Myndéa, I hope that perhaps you can come to Asgard one day and visit. Rest assured that I will return to visit very soon. Thank you… for everything.” 

Myndéa dipped her head and bid Sigyn one final goodbye. “You should go, he’s waiting outside. Speaking of which, do you think you will ever inform me of his name?”
