Asgard was on fire. The smell of the burning Yggdrasil Tree which used to be so tall and large, now it's slumped and turning to ash.
The Bifrost had be torn to shreds. Broken in the middle. No way of escape and all I could smell was smoke. The screams of the people I loved were unbelievably terrifying. Yet I couldn't move. I couldn't save anyone...
Everyone was ushered out of the castle but did they know I was still in here? They had to have known, Frigga would have known right?
I watched as my room around me filled with smoke and my lungs were filled with an unpleasant smells. Unable to breathe.
My vision had become shrouded with the smoke that filled my view. Sweat had fallen just above my temples as the extreme heat had finally gotten to me.
That's all I could think about as I could feel myself slowly loosing consensus.
—————————————————
Wake up.
I heard an all too familiar voice say as I shot up, gasping for the breath I seemed to have been holding, sweating with tears in my eyes.
It's okay, it wasn't real. Try to go back to sleep, you need it for training tomorrow.
He sounded cold, angry, as if I had woken him up with my loud thoughts. How had he known that you were having a nightmare?
I'm sorry
I apologized for waking him up. All the while trying to not cry. I could still hear the screams of my friends, family and Asgard's people. Burning, sobbing, dying.
I tried to fall back asleep but my attempts had failed. I was so scared it wasn't a dream, it felt so real.
My head was spinning and I remembered that I wasn't the only one who could hear my thoughts. I then tried to concentrate on closing off my mind, just for tonight so at least he wasn't as exhausted as I would be. Which he'd seem to notice, but didn't mind.
I woke up almost late for my routinely training with Thor. Loki had also been there, sitting on the bench by the entrance of the training room, reading his book as he always had. I tried not to show my exhaustion to Thor. He quickly noticed and stared at me.
"Lady Y/N...you're tired, let's take a break, okay? We can start again in 30 minutes." He said out of breath trying to reassure me.
"No, no it's okay I'm good. Let's keep going." I said raising my sword again ready to start training once more.
"Come on, I can see it on your face," he nudged my arm, but I kept quiet.
"Lady Y/N whats wrong? You seem as though you've seen a ghost!" He tried to stay calm, seeing how exhausted I had become. My lips a pale pink, out of breath, trying not to think of what my dream had let me see.
"No, I'm fine, I just-" I didn't get to finish my sentence before I had passed out, once again. This time I could feel my arms swelling, it felt like they were...burning?
I had opened my eyes slowly letting my eyes adjust to the now dull sunset. All I could think about was how bad my arms had hurt. The burning sensation had worsened as I tried to sit myself up.
Frigga had then pulled me back towards the bed, yelling at someone, but I couldn't hear them.
My hearing seemed to be more dull by the second, and the searing pain had made an appearance once again. My eyes still adjusting to the light I noticed Frigga had been yelling at Odin, Thor, and Loki.
Thor seemed very angry as he was yelling at Odin. I had never seen him do so. No one yelled at the King. Loki seemed to be unbothered, but worried about something.
Frigga was worried and shouting but still trying to be calm under the circumstances. I could only make out pieces of what they had been saying. Trying to join the conversation.
"You knew of this!?" Odin screamed at Frigga and Thor.
"Of course we knew! What did you expect us to do? Abandon her?!" Thor seemed to be holding back as much anger as he could.
"That is EXACTLY what I expected you to do! She can not stay here. Not anymore. Her stay has been long overdue." Odin boomed through the room, which didn't help the massive headache you seemed to have conjured.
"She will stay here as long as she desires!" Thor protested. Just as Odin began to walk away past the doors, turning to look at the three of them, looking as if he had been betrayed.
"She will be gone tomorrow. Figure it out. Or I will." Odin threatened them, storming out of the door, leaving the three of them. Thor angered, Frigga frightened and worried, and Loki, still unbothered, but all the more uncomfortable with the situation that had just unfolded.
My vision had finally adjusted and my hearing back but still had a ring to it. I began to sit up, the pain unbearable now and uncomfortable. Thor and Frigga looked at me and quickly bombarded me with so many questions.
"Oh dear! I was so worried are you okay? What had happened?" Frigga questioned. Thor quickly rushed to my side looking at me as if I had just died.
"I'm fine, but my- my arms?" I tried to croak out with tears starting to flare at my eyes. Just as I did so, everyone seemed to back away, except for Loki.
I looked down and saw my arms, engulfed with blue flames. I looked in the mirror on the night stand of my bed. My eyes had also been an exquisite, burning blue.
Then I noticed it wasn't just my arms, my entire body now surrounded by blue mist, as I noticed the pain, it started to subside as fast as it could. Though, my headache remained.
"You need to focus. Put your magic beneath the surface." Loki finally spoke up. Just as he said that, you started to concentrate on pushing all of the overwhelming emotions behind you. Forgetting what had even started them.
The exhaustion.
Asgard in flames.
Just as your blue magic started to disappear Thor spoke up. Startling you slightly.
"We can't stay here Lady Y/N...it's too dangerous. Father, he's- he's not happy. He will not hesitate to banish you to the cells." He said looking down at his feet. Feeling guilty. Just as he said that Loki shifted at the thought of the cells.
"What..? Where am- what am I supposed to do?" My tears forming again. Asgard was my home, and now I'm being told I can't be here? Everything around me was starting to crumble before I could stop it. I couldn't hold it.
Focus. Keep it beneath the surface.
A familiar voice firmly said to me. It hand been Loki again, I had been so exhausted, I forgot to put my wall up again. I shot a glare at him.
Out. Get out of my head Loki.
I said coldly. I did not like my mind being infiltrated in the slightest.
"What? What's going on?" Thor looked at me before I could respond and glared at Loki. Walking over to him, angry.
"What are you doing to her? What are you saying." He was so angry, I didn't know why exactly. Loki put his hands up defensively and started to protest.
"Calm down 'beef stick' I was helping her keep calm. She's new with her magic, mother had asked me to practice with her! I am merely helping the orphan." He claimed.
Orphan.
That one stung. I furrowed my brows and looked down at my hands, which seemed to have been back to normal. Now starting to rise at the mere words Loki had said carelessly.
How could someone be so negligent for another's feelings. Although it was Loki of all people, you knew he wasn't all that bad...or so you thought.
