Stallion - Chapter 6 [Loki X Reader]

When that light from the sky shined down on both you and Loki, you had a strange feeling that you couldn't find the words to describe. The light was very bright so you closed your eyes. You didn't know what was even happening, but soon enough the feeling subsided.

Only to be replaced with the feeling of falling, quickly followed by your head hitting the ground.

"Ow." You said as you got up from the floor, holding you hand to your head. "What the hell was that?!"

"Hum. Dimensional travel must not be your forte." You heard Loki say. You looked over and saw him standing a few feet away. You then looked in front of you and saw another person standing on the opposite side of the room you were in. He looked rather intimidating, and wore a large gold helmet along with other golden armor. He stared straight ahead of him, not averting his eyes at all.

"You've returned." The man said to Loki. "I saw what happened, and I have already informed Odin of it all. He is awaiting your arrival in the Throne room."

"Thank you, Hemidell." Loki replied.

"You should also know that Odin knows about [name]."

"I figured that much." Loki then looked over at you. "Come on."

You followed Loki out of the building that you were in and walked out into a dark night sky. With just one look it left you speechless. It was so gorgeous that you couldn't help but look around and stare. You were standing on a long colorful bridge that looked like it sparkled. All around you, even below, was vast open sky filled with millions of stars. You could see various planets of all shapes sizes and colours, and other planetary bodies like moons and asteroids  even comets and falling stars. Perhaps the most amazing was the auroras that were dancing across the sky above the city in the distance. They were colored in green, lavender and pale blue and intermingled together to create even more colors, making the light show all the more dazzling. The sight around you was the most beautiful thing you had ever seen.

"Where... Where are we?" You said.

"We are in Asgard," Loki replied to you. "but we haven't any time to waste."

"Oh, Right!" You then remembered that you were here to help Sliepnir, not to sight see. You stopped looking around and returned to being focused on the task at hand.

Loki began walking down the colorful bridge and you followed after him.

As you walked you glanced downwards over the side of the bridge, and far below, you saw what looked to be a raging ocean of water. Even though the water appeared to be dark and certainly not something you'd want to be in, you still could help watch the waves as they crashed into each other.

A random thought came to your mind and without thinking about it first you asked Loki, "How did that guy back there know my name?"

"He is Hemidell." Loki replied. "He sees what goes on in all the nine realms. You'd be surprised by how much he actually  already knows about you."

"Hum... That's... kind of creepy."

"Think how bad it is for him. He sees everything." Loki said. " ...Just think about it."

You thought for a few moments... "Oh dear... Now I feel sorry for him."

You and Loki reached the end of the bridge and entered a large city. You noticed that all the people walking around were wearing either armor or other clothing that looked like they were ready to go into battle. You stuck out like a sore thumb in the middle of all of them. A few people looked at you weirdly

One of them walked up to Loki.

"Loki! Where have you been?" She said. "You missed training today."

"Don't care, Sif, I have other matters to attend too." Loki continued walking, while you continued to follow him.

Soon, you reached a large building that looked like a palace of royalty. Inside, Loki and you walked down a few hallways before he stopped in front of a large door.

"You better stay out here." He said. Before you could protest or even ask why, he went into the room and shut the door behind him.

You tried to open the door, but it would not budge.

Inside the throne room.

When Loki walked into the room, Odin approached him.

"Loki, I know why you've come back." He began to say, "And I must say I'm not at all thrilled with what you have in mind."

"I have yet to even tell you what I had in mind." Loki replied.

"There is but one solution to the problem at hand, you know that just as well as I."

"Then you must not say no, for it is the only way."

"I never said no. I just wish that it wouldn't have come to this." Odin replied. He knew how much Sleipnir meant to Loki, even though he wouldn't admit it, and to Odin, Sleipnir was a valuable battle ally along with a loyal friend.

A moment later, the doors to the room opened and in walked two guards carrying you by your arms.

"Put me down!" You yelled at them as you tried to get out of their hold.

The guards continued walking forward and then stopped then they were in front of Odin and Loki.

"Odin," One guard said. "We found an intruder in the halls."

"She appears to be a Midgardian." The other guard added. "She claims that she came with Prince Loki."

"I did!" You told them. "Loki, Please. Tell them to put me down."

The guards looked at Odin. "Let her go." He said. With that command, the guards dropped you from their hold, causing you to fall to the floor. The guards then turned around to leave the room.

"Rude much?!" You called to them as you got up from the floor. "Yesh!"

"What is your name, Misdgardian?" Odin asked you.

"Uh... My name is [name]" You said in reply to him.

Odin then looked back at Loki. "You shouldn't have brought a Midgardian here, Loki."

Loki let out an annoyed sigh. "Yes, I know this, but there are bigger problems upon us!"

"And you know that your action of bringing her here won't go without punishment."

"Oh! So Thor can bring Jane here anytime he pleases, but the one time that I happen to do it -"

Odin cut him off. "That is different!"

"What that is, is a double standard!" Loki argued back.

The two of them continued to argue for many more minutes, while you just stood there watching them... You then decided that you probably should say something.

"HEY!"

"WHAT!?" They both said as they looked over at you simultaneously.

"Um... I just want to point out that I came here by my own choice." You said. "I didn't know that it would him in trouble... I only want to help get Sleipnir back."

"I see." Odin said to you. He paused for a moment and then continued speaking. "Given the current situation, I am willing to overlook this. Now, we should go if we are to do this correctly."

With Loki and Odin's argument resolved, You followed the two of them into a room that had many artifacts sitting on stands. There was another guard in the room that Odin walked up to. He told the guard something - you couldn't hear it very clearly though - and the guard then left the room. The three of you resumed walking through the room. About halfway through, Odin stopped and then walked up to one of the artifacts. It was a small circular thing that was silver in color. It had a dial on the top of it and, if you didn't know any better, you would have easily mistaken it for a watch.

"You know the dangers behind using this. I assume that you are willing to accept them." Odin said to Loki.

"Yes." Loki replied.

Odin then looked at you. "This may see overwhelming to you, but if you really are fixed on helping Loki then you are going to have accept that what you are doing could prove to be dangerous."

"What are we doing exactly?" You asked.

"Going back in time." Loki answered you.

"Time travel?!" You said in surprise. "But h-how is that scientifically possible?"

"Like I said before, Science says that many things are impossible, but that does not mean that they are."

From behind, you heard another voice. "Father, The guard said you wanted to see me?"

"Ah, Thor." Odin said. You looked over and saw a blond haired man enter the room. He walked closer to the three of you, and Odin continued speaking. "I have agreed to let Loki and the Midgardian go backwards in time in attempt to prevent Sleipnirs death. I want you go along and ensure their success."

"Why does Thor have to come?" Loki said.

"Because, he can provide additional help." Odin explained. "And more help may be just what is needed to stop Sleipnirs demise."

"Brother." Thor said to Loki. "I only wish to help."

Odin handed the circular artifact to Thor.

"Alright, you three. All you have to do is set the dial for the correct time and date and then activate it by touching the gem in the center."

"What point in time do we go back to?" Thor asked. "Before he was killed, correct?

"No, we should go back to just before Sleipnir was taken from the stable." You suggested. "That way we can relocate him before the scientists even get there."

"Smart thinking!" Thor said to you. "And what time would that be?"

"The 29th," You replied as you looked over the time travel device. You thought for a moment about what time the scientist appeared. You estimated that it was around 3pm. "At 2:15pm. That should give us enough time to get to the ranch and get Sleipnir out of there before the scientists arrive." Thor turned the dials on the device. You and Loki were standing on either side of him.

"It's set." Thor said. "We ready?"

You and Loki both nodded. And with that, Thor touched the the gem that was in the center of the artifact. A moment later, the gem began to glow, and then a field of energy surrounded all three of you. Soon enough, the energy had gained enough power and Loki, Thor and you were all sent back in time.

In the entrance of the artifact room, Frigga was watching the whole thing as it happened. She didn't have any problem with the use of the time travel device, but there was one thing that did worry her.

"Odin." She said as she approached him. "You did tell them that we never found the other half that allows them to travel forward in time... right?"

Odin was silent for many moments before he took a deep breath. "May luck be on their side."
