*Realm of Asgard*

°Loki°

*he was sitting in his cell, two "windows" granting him the sight into the dark dungeons of Asgard´s castle, he was a prisoner* *with weary eyes he watched the guards patrole up and forth the hallways, his gaze flickering to the huge iron doors that locked him and every other prisoner from the outside, sometimes he wished for a friendly face, a visitor*

//all because of that fool of a brother. He brought me into this. I should have killed him when I still had the chance!

*his back rested heavily against the wall, a book resting in his lap, he hadn´t moved in days* *his food was untouched his hunger gone yet he couldn´t die, didn´t want to die*

//They will pay for this...They will pay and I will be king of Asgard and the Nine worlds.

*his revenge haunted him, made him tired of himself sometimes, he wouldn´t get up then, unmoved for days and staring at the soft glowing walls of his cell, his oh so comfortable cell with most of the things he could need* *A soft chair, books, food and drinks were in his reach, he was still a royal guest down here after all but non of it helped him*
*he continued to stare into nothingness, his hair needed to be brushed, his chin needed a raisor and his mind sleep but he wouldn´t grand himself any of hit, he had to endure, had to find a way out*

//A weapon...my mind, my magic is my weapon but now I need steal...a weapon like my retarded brother would use.

*then there came another thought*

//not my brother, not my brother in flesh and blood, only my brother in soul and heart. If I even got a heart left.

*he laughed hystericly, he would loose the rest of his mind soon*

°Thor°

*sighs*
*it's been a while now since Loki got prisoned, the fact that he caused that much of danger to Midgar and Asgard makes his heart heavy* *he didn't know Loki felt like this*

//..Being pushed into my shadow and making him insane for the throne..//

*he loves his brother more than anything yet he hurted him more than anyone without even knowing*

//I don't even want the throne anymore.. Loki maybe wouldn't even have been turned this way if his father didn't prefered me over Loki.. Yotun or not.. he's still my brother... I understand at least partly how he must feel...//

*he was restless since Loki god prisoned* *he wanted to vist Loki all the time but he was afraid* *Loki already hated him for a long time without him knowing but he was sure now even the last spark of love for him died in his heart* *pure hatered will leash against him when he would go see him now*

I miss him... The times where we still got along..

*he looks out of the window*
*he takes deep breath and goes down to the dungeons*

*slowly he approached Lokis cell*

Hello.. brother.
*smiles bitter*

°Loki°

*he could hear it, his senses may have gotten dull but they were still his dearest friends, they heavy foot steps outside, the guards that were suddenly straighten up* *someone important was comming, he could feel it*

//They must not see me like this-//

*quickly he drew up an illusion, he himself was invisible, still resting weakly against the wall while his projection was standing proudly at the window, examining everything with unmoved expression and glooming green eyes*

//Thor?!//

*truly, his brother was standing at his cell, right in front of his illusion-self and smiling bitterly*

Look who came to me after all this time, my ´beloved´ brother.

*his voice was bitter, he couldn´t help it, not even his magic could change the emotions in his voice as he let his other self talk but yet that figure was standing calmly and with a brow raised in mockery*

What brought you down here? Wanted to see your caged brother? As you see I am doing just wonderfully, finally got some time to read ya know. Well you probably don´t know but that shouldn´t trouble you.

*lies, all lies he let his other self tell Thor right in the face while truly he sat on the ground, looking like a man who gave up a long time ago*

//Go away again...stay with me...

*those thoughts were fighting each other in his mind while his illusion still hid him and let Thor only see a proud Loki in elegant, clean robes*

°Thor°

*he looked up and the illusion Loki and even though he was acting mockingly and proud like always, he could hear the bitterness in his voice*

//It's fake...//

Stop lying brother... show yourself I know it's not real..
*says in a calm tone while eyeing "Loki"*

°Loki°

*he furrowed his eyebrows*

//how did he know? I must have gotten weaker than I thought...//

*he sighted and let the illusion dissapear withing the blink of an eyes, now he was visible to his royal brother in all his weakness and shame*

Now you see me brother. You must feel proud-

*he gazed at Thor with tired green eyes, the sharpness been taken away from them* *his legs were stretched in front of him as the book now had slided on the rgound and off his lap, his robe looking filthy*

°Thor°

*the sight of Loki broke his heart*
*he walked to the side of the cell so he is next to Loki and sat down on the ground* *he stared back into his eyes*
Why should I feel proud...?

°Loki°

*he could see something in Thor´s eyes*

//is it...pity? Does he feel sorry?//

*he wasn´t sure and just kept staring at his brother in silent, unmoved, after a while he spoke again, his voice soft and less sharp*

You brought the traitor of Asgard back and into prison. You are a hero now once again. I heard how you restored the peace. My congratulations. Your way took a bit longer though.

*he couldn´t let it be, of course he never could, mocking Thor came naturally, it was easy form him and made him feel slightly better*

°Thor°

Stop that..
*mumbles*
*scoffs*
I more feel like the traitor.. what is the meaning of being called a hero when I have to prison my own brother..
*looks down and runs his fingers through his hair*

//Why am I even telling him that? I'm so pathetic.. Searching for forgiveness by someone who never will forgive me...
I mean he always mocks me, but now it's different. There his no way there are any kind of sympathy left for me.. isn't it?//

°Loki°

*rolls his eyes and he sighs softly*

I am not your brother. We don't sshare blood..

//yet we were raised together and you are a part of my family. I was always trying to surpass him but now I am sitting here.//

*he stares at his cell in disgust and then  drawing his focus back on Thor with a lazy title of his head, he could see a teasion in his brother's shoulders that were uncommon for the 'thunder god'*

You seem distressed Thor. I guess you are not here to search for my good advice. You mostly try to ignore it..

°Thor°

You are still my family..
*looks at him*
*shakes his head slowly*
No...
Loki..
*looks up at him*
I'm here because I need your help.

°Loki°

*he can't help but release a snort of dissbelieve*

//Thor? Meeding my help? Must be really urgeng for him to search me from all people in Asgard.//

*he raises his brow, his voice still calm*

Me? The world must be ending if you come to ask for /my/ help. This or you lost your sanity too. What is it you would need my help for?

//Let me get out of here and I will do anything for you.//

*his green  eyes were telling the truth but he wasn't sure if Thor was even looking him in the eyes*

°Thor°

Maybe both... One of the nine stole a secret weapon. I want to get it back with your help before it comes to a war. Father didn'allow me to do anything but I can't just sit here and wait until war comes over us.
*looks him into his eye and to his surprise he can see honesty in it-

°Loki°

*he sat up straighter*

//A weapon? Stolen from Asgard? If I would agree to this I could bring this weapon in my hands and whatever it is, it must have great powers to bring Thor to ask for my help.

I will help you brother. But what is in it for me? I could really use a bath and I detest this cell... Tell my Thor. What do I get?

*he titled his head, eyes still fixed on his brother unmoved and cold, he would find a way to get out of here and chase his dream*

°Thor°
*bites his lip*
I.. I will try to keep you out of thia cell.. If we are successful Asgard owes you.
Providing that you don't betray me and amok after I get you out of here..

°Loki°

*Loki shrugged, this was as good for him as anything else*

Your pride was always important to you and your word is trustworthy I guess. I will agree to your conditions but tell me Thor, why me? I know I am excellent in any kind of...tricks, but you could just take your dear, rude warriors. So for what do you need /me/?

*he had gotten up while he talkes, towering over his brother in this moment and he rested a hand on the magical window, leaning on it*

°Thor°
*looks up*
//Because I miss you..//
*gets up up*
You're the only one who knows a secret path to this world. You have too show me because I can't use the befrost without father knowing.

°Loki°

*he watched his brother, there was something in the other's eyes he couldn't quiet understand, something soft he had not seen for so long*

//Of course, the Befrost. This is getting exciting.//

Well then what are you waiting for? Get me out of this-

*he looks at the cell in disgust*

This new home of mine. I will help you and hopefully you will stay to your word. I hope you got a plan on how to get me out of here.

°Thor°
I will as long you stay your word too.
*squints eyes at you*
*smirks*
Of course I do..
*fishes out a key card*
I "borrowed" this from the guards.
*deactivates the glass*

°Loki°

Of course Thor, don't you trust me?

*he smirked lazily, his eyes glint hungrily as you fish out the key card* *he takes a step away from the magic glass and as it get deactivated he jumps out with all elegance that is let for him but he didn't remember the bad conditiom his body was in and he dropped to his knees*

Let's agree you did not just see this an leave.

*he glazed up at his brother*

Maybe you could give me a weapon too, just to defend myseld ya know, since I am a prisoner in my own realm

°Thor°
*just gives a fake smile at that*
*catches you as you fall down*
I don't let you out of my eyes.
*glances back to you*
*raises an eyebrow* Nice try.
I'll protect you so you don't need you worry little brother~ <3 *grins*

°Loki°

*he laughs at the fake smile of his brother, knowing nobody would ever trust him*

Oh gosh please don't treat me as if I am helpless.

*he wiggles out of Thor's arms and straightens up and snarls slightly at Thor*

I don't need your protection. Now can we go? The guards will soon come past here again and I don't want to be back in there

*he motions at the cell behind him and then starts walking to the exit of this nasty dungeon*

°Thor°

*roll his eyes at his childish behavior*

Yes lets take the secret floor out of here. *takes his wrist and rushes to a wall activates a mechanism and a secret path opens* *rushes with you through the corridors*

°Loki°

*he chose to ignore his brither rolling his eyes and was about to change his apearance into something less obvious as Thor grabs his wrist and pulls him inot a secret passage*

Well this is new to me. I thought you would rush head first through the castle with me, clearing the way with your hammer.

//If I had only know about this... But no, now I am out and have a chance to get a mighty weapon in my hands.

*he followed Thor like a good pup

°Thor°
And if you don't shut your big mouth, I'll bring you back.
*brings you out of there* *the path ends somewhere outside the palace*

°Loki°

*Loki may be slightly arrogant and has a sharp tongue but he is far from stupid so he shut his mouth and followed his brother silently till they were outside the palace*

Nice path...I should remind it. Okay how does your plan look like from this point?

*he looked around, waiting to see any vehicle or something*
