*Realm of Asgard*

°Fandral°
Did someone called for a taxi?
*grins as he suddenly appeared in front of them with a orbital glider Sif, Volstagg and Hogun being on board too*


°Thor°
Fandral! Just in time!


*frowns as he sees all the others there too*
What are you all doing there? I asked for a vehicle not for the whole warrior troup to escort me!
Go back home. The Allfather will punish you all if he learns that you are betraying him and go on this unauthorized mission with me!


°Volstagg°
And let you alone with this snake?
*nods to Loki with a glare*
He will stab you as soon as you turn your back to him!


°Fandral°
I'm sure this won't be a fightless trip so one or another fighter more won't hurt right?
You wont get rid of us so easily~
*grins*

°Loki°

*he couldn´t believe his eyes as suddenly Fandral and the other warriors/friends of Thor appeared in a orbital glider; he would have said the gods were joking with them but the ironic things is that they /are/ gods and so he is stuck with hotheaded, suspicious killers warriors*

You must be kidding me brother, you got your whole fan-club invited to this party? You do realize this is extremely suspicious and they will not want me to help. I will end up with my head on a spike if I even move a finger.


Oh and it´s good to see you again too Volstagg, did your beard grow?

*he eyes Fandral, Volstagg. Hogun and Sif, they once fought together but now they would stab him in the back and not, like Volstagg said that he would stab Thor*


// They will just mess everything up, I can´t handle five impulsive fighters in one party, and four and a half don´t even trust me...I should have stayed where I was and thought of another plan. But now that I am here let´s make the best out of it.//

*he sighed softly and stood a bit closer to Thor*

We should get going brother.



°Sif°

*she eyes Loki as he stepped closer to Thor, a frown appeared on her pretty face*

You are only tolerated here Loki, don´t do anything stupid or I will kill you.


°Loki°

*slowly he turned his gaze to Sif and smirked, he bowed his head in a mocking manner*

As gallant as ever my Lady Sif. It´s really sweet of you all to welcome me so heartly, I see you have not forgotten poor Loki who sat alone in the dark with nobody so brave and noble to talk to.

*he just couldn't´t stop his tongue, his voice dripping with sarcasm which only earned him disgusted looks from the four warriors*

°Thor°
*massages his temples and mumbles only for Loki audible*
I didn't know they would show up here..
Don't worry, I won't let them..
*a bit of trust seeps through his voice*


°Volstagg°
*scoffs*
Yeah, the pleasure is all mine..
*fake smiles*


°Thor°
*listens to all the threatenings and mockings calmly*
*suddenly raises his voice*
Enough already!!
This mission is doomed to failure if you already try to kill each other before we even start! So either you all behave and don't whip your swords out with every move loki makes OR I go alone with Loki like I previously planed!
*growls*
*that silenced them*
*takes Loki under his wings without even noticing*


°Volstagg°
*sighs*
Fine.. Whatever you say Thor..

°Loki°

*he eyes Thor and nodded slightly, he had no other chance but to trust his brother*

You could have just given me a weapon and I would feel much more secure you know. And maybe they would stop threaten me then.

//well they probably never will but I can do this without their trust too. Now we just need to get them off that glider..//


*watches with a smile as Thor takes him under his wings and gives the warriors a dashing fake smile*


°Frandal°

Alright Thor we won´t stab that liar but we will still come with you and I guess you need this glider so why don´t you two hop on and we can start our adventure because someone might search for us soon-



°Loki°

As much as I hate to say that but Frandal got a point there so can you all please get in line for killing me later and get going? I would not like to end up in my cell again.

*Loki gently pushed Thor towards the glider, he felt bare and without defense, of course he could always use his magic and tricks but that wouldn´t make his situation any better* *so he gets close behind Thor, half hiding behind his brother as they get on the glider*

Next time please warn me when your dogs come barking.

*he whispered in Thor´s ear only for the Thundergod to hear, trying to hide the distress in his voice*

They make me really, really uncomfortable and I thought you needed my help. Well with them in my back I can´t even walk without fearing their knives.

°Thor°
Yes yes of course! *gets onto the glider*


*notices how close Loki stays behind him*
*looks back at him*
I'm sorry..
*thinks for a bit*
*looks at the others*
Maybe it's better when Loki and I go alone.


°Volstagg°
What? You're kidding right?


°Thor°
I'm not. I really appreciate your worry and your offer to help but I have the feeling this won't work out when you all accompany us..

°Loki°

*he smirked, Thor was really taking him under his protection and urging the warriors not to come with them, it would all get so much easier for Loki*

Just think about it. Someone has to back up Thor here and who could be better for this than Asgard´s greatest warriors? I left an illusion in my cell so you shouldn´t worry about me. but Thor...Well he has no alibi.

//Please listen to me for once you morons, I am actually right and you all should know that!//


°Farndal°

*he hesitates, Loki had spoken some true words*

He got a point there guys... But you are still a dirty liar! Who says you won´t just flee?


°Loki°

*sighs deeply and gives Farndal a played sad look*

Do you really don´t trust me at all? I helped you already and now you detest me because of a few mistakes, that´s really unfair don´t you think? But you should know yourself what´s best...for Thor and for Asgard.


°Sif°

*she snarls at the trickster and points her knife at Loki´s throat*

He is right, we have to back up Thor but...You stay away from him, we know exactly where you are going and if Thor doesn´t return you are a dead man.


°Loki°

*raises his hands in a defensive manner and looks at Sif innocently*

I will protect my dearest brother with all my given might.

//As long as he won´t be in my way...//

°Thor°
I can take care of myself, don't worry about me.
*grins and pats Mjolmir that hangs on his belt*
Thanks guys.
*watches how they all get off the glider*
We will be back safe and sound WITH that weapon.
I promise.



°Farndal°
Take care Thor. We guard your back here.
*smiles softly*
*shots Loki one last glare*


°Thor°
Shall we then Loki?
*gives him the driver*
Lead us to the secret path.

°Loki°

*he stands in the glider next to Thor and watches the others get off the vehicle, he made it, nobody would get in his way, except his brother of course*

I will miss you too Farndal~

*says in a sarcastic tongue and chuckles softly to himself* *he looks up to his brother and nods, taking the rudder and let the glider start off towards the mountain sides of Asgard, his green eyes are fixed on the horizon, yet examining everything around them*

I hope nobody will follow us and put up a fight...I don´t have the nerve for that. And you still own me a long bath



*he fixes his robe and leans back, steering the glider with a steady hand* *he enjoyed to finally breath fresh air and feel the sun heat up his wavy black hair, a small smile formed on his lips even though they were going right into another mess*

°Thor°
Well let's hope it will all run smoothly.. I'm not keen on fighting an whole army alone.
*chuckles*
Whatever you want brother.
*watches him as he flies the glider*
*can't help but smile a but at Lokis smile*

°Loki°

*the glider was getting closer to the mountain walls and nobody had seen them yet, Loki looks around, always alarmed*

Thor remember you are not alone? Or do I not count as a person anymore?

*he shoots his brother a look that could have been a playful pout long time ago*

You still need to tell me where we are going or the secret path won't work. Who got that secret weapon?

*he tugs some hair away from his face as the wind messes it up*

°Thor°
*laughs*
Of course you do!
*smiles a soft genuine smile*
Yes.. I'm glad you are.
//I may be the biggest idiot of Asgard to give Loki my trust or forgive him over and over again. I may be betrayed again.. But I'm in the strong believe that Loki isn't 100% evil and that not everything he does consists of lies and betrayal. The old Loki is still there.. There is still something good inside him! I can feel it!..... Or more.. I refuse to believe otherwise..//

The Vanir.  We have to go to  Vanaheim.

°Loki°

*he watches his brother with a serious expression, eyes deep and thoughtful*

I will get that weapon with you. I never wanted Asgard to go down.

//And this is the truth. I don't want this  world to go down...guess I still have sympathy. Yet I want this weapon for myself, you never know how you can use something like that.//

*he can feel that Thor is deep in thoughts and strangly he likes this face of his brother, it made him look mature and more king like*

//He really looks like a king- but no that's not what I want him to be, I want to be king...to be loved.//

*he shakes his head to get his thoughts away and steers the glider right at the rocky walls*

Alright then, Vanaheim it is. You should hold on tight now! We are going through!

*smirks and holds right to a crack in the wall of the mountain, the glider rushing there with full speed*

To Vannaheim!

°Thor°
Thanks brother.. *smiles softly*
*graps tightly onto the railing*
Loki are you crazy?! You're going to kill us!
*widens his eyes as the glider scratches the walls and sending sparks*

°Loki°

*the horrified expression on Thor's face makes him laugh out loud and he looks like a maniac*

Don't be afraid brother!

*the glider starts to crack and crash with the walls as the crack gets thiner and they still go with full speed deeper in the mountain walls and then with a loud crash they-
-pop out into the green forests of Vanaheim, sun glisters through the green leaves and warmth surrounds them; the glider flies on, the sides being damaged but yet it is still holding together and flying*

I told you I could get you here~

*Loki laughs again and gives his brother a smug smile*

°Thor°
By the nine, let us arrive in one piece!
*prays for himself as he sees the ship slowily falling apart*


*suddenly gets blinded by the sun of Vanaheim*
*sinks down and sighs relieved*

You give me heartattacks!
*can't help but smile back tho*

°Loki°

*he laughes genuily, the warm sun and the smell of the green land making him finally feel more alive since a long time, the shock he gave Thor only adds to his joy*

For a tough warrior you look dangerously close to a scared maiden Thor. I would suggest you to pull yourself together and get ready for the landing, we can't fly around Vanaheim with this glider unnoticed.


*he smirks and let the glider sink down to the soft earth of Vanaheim, bringing the vehicle to a gentle touchdown*

After you my 'prince'

*says in a sarcastic tone and does a mocking bow*

//Let's see if you eveb trust me enough to turn your back on me, because you will have to trust me. We will do this in my way...//

°Thor°
*Lokis genuine laugh melts his heart and makes him smile too*
//It's been so long since I last time saw him laugh like that.. I almost though he lost it forever..//


*scoffs*
Please I'm perfectly fine!


*rolls his eyes* 
*ignores Loki's sarcassm and jumps down the vehicle casually not even thought that Loki could try to kill him comes to his mind*
Hm.. let's see where are we... 
*mumbles and looks around*

°Loki°

*he watches Thor jump off the glider and brushes some dust off his robe, jumping down too, this time his jump is graceful and he straightens up again; now he feels much stronger as when Thor let him out of his cell*

//He seems to trust me a bit. Let's see how much.//

*he steps next to Thor*

Dear brother I don't like disturbing yoir mumbling but may I say something? You should tell me the details now and give me a weapon to defend myself because I bet we will get in trouble. You always get in trouble anyway.

*looks at Thor and raises a brow*

Take your time... I will disguise our glider while you talk.

*starts to put an illusion over the glider, melting it into the background of the summerly forest*

°Thor°
*figured out in with direction they have to go now*
*looks at Loki as he speaks*
Well actually the secret path wasn't the only reason why I needed you.
The weapon we search for is a golden scepter with a blue stone that contains strong magic. It should be in their treasure room somewhere in the underground vault from the caslte of Vanaheim. Meaning lots and lots of guards and what not. So we have to rely on your illusions to get though there without getting caught.
*look at him meaningful*
So..
*suddenly pulls out a sword and holds it with the blade in Lokis dirction*
Either we trust eachother..
*turns the sword with a cool swift move so that now the hilt points at you for you to grasp it*
..or Vanaheim will be our grave.
*smiles at him surprisingly honest-

°Loki°

*he finsihes hiding the glider and turns back to Thor, listening carefully, his brows furrowed*

//So that's why he needs me. He doesn't want to go head first through the wall for once. And a golden scepter, that sounds very interesting and exciting.//

*he nods carefully at Thor's explenaitions and gasps as you suddenly pull out a sword, yet not moves and inch*

Well...I really hate dying so I will choose to trust you for now.

*grips the hilt of the sword and grins*

Let's get us in that castle and not loose any more time. You really have to trust me now...I will turn us into city guards as soon as we are close to the city.
Lead the way brother.

*puts away the sword in his robe and pats it*

°Thor°
A good choice~.
*smiles*
*nods* 
Yes.. Let's go.
I will.
*leads the way through the forest to the city near the castle*

°Loki°

*a rush of excitement spills through his veins and he steps next to Thor, walking by the blond god's side*

You know. I could just walk in there alone and bring back that..weapon, which by the way sounds really pretty and mighty. Oh and what does it do again?

//and why is it so important? I would love to know what that septer can do.//

*he walked on through the forest at his brother's side, like in old times, it nearly felt normal again only that their 'relationship' could never be normal again*

°Thor°
*raises a brow looks at Loki with an "in-your-dreams" expression*
As if I let you touch the scepter.. I know that you want to have it.
Soo..

*smiles sweetly*
..forget it beloved brother~ ♥.
*grins*
There is no need for you to know all this~!
*laughs*
//It kinda feels like the old times.. to bad that we can't be like we used to be...//

°Loki°

*he growls softly and under his breath as Thor refuses to tell him anything about ths scepter or the danger it brings for Asgard*

You can stick your beloved brother up your ass

*he huffs, obviously upset that he doesn't get to know everything but he still continues to walk with Thor, going through with their plan*

//I will get the scepter anyway. It sounds like a magical weapon so it should be perfect for me. Just wait Thor Odinsson. We are not done yet...brother. Beloved brother...thank you for getting me out of those dungeons.//

°Thor°
*his features sadden*
*lets out a sigh*
*doesn't say anything anymore*
//Maybe I indeed will be left backstabbed and betrayed after this.. //
