surprise

Loki had finally tasted insomnia again after all these years.

Asgard's Asgard is so big that it can give Thor and Loki too much personal space, so that after they were eight years old, they never slept in the same bed.

Loki just came back the night before, everything was still a little confused, and he was very tired, so he didn't sleep badly, at least he didn't toss and turn, and it was difficult to fall asleep anyway.But this night is different, now Loki's mind is clear, he realizes with incredible clarity that Thor is lying beside him, this big heavy man doesn't sleep well, he snores and rolls over He leaned over to put an arm and a leg on Loki's body - even though Loki had been trying to shrink to the side, it didn't seem to have any effect. Thor's height is close to two meters, no matter where Loki shrinks, as long as he is still on this bed, he cannot escape Thor's clutches.

Loki thinks seriously about how many kicks he'll need to kick Thor if he's going to kick Thor down now.

Although, he's literally pinned down by Thor's arms and legs right now.

……

The night passed like this, and Loki finally fell asleep. He didn't know how long he was on his back facing the ceiling in a daze, but anyway he fell asleep... and had a dream.

Gods seldom dream. In Asgard, most of the dreams represent not-so-good things, such as prophecies and curses.

Loki dreams of Frigg, his mother.This god who symbolizes love is still beautiful and gentle. She is sitting on the balcony of Asgard's Asgard, with a magic book on her lap. Looking down from here, you can see the whole of Asgard.

Loki walked over slowly, trying to keep his footsteps as light as possible, and he didn't know whether he was afraid of disturbing Frigg or waking himself up.

"Mother……"

Loki's lips moved, but no sound came out. The blond goddess sitting upright seemed to turn her head telepathically, looked at him with a smile, and said softly, "Loki."

Loki paused, suddenly feeling the urge to cry.

"My child." Frigga waved to her youngest son and said, "Come to me."

Loki's nose was sore, he subconsciously clenched his lips, swallowed his saliva, and walked towards his mother with a huge step.He looked at Frigg, bent his knees, and sat beside Frigg - just like the countless times they discussed magic together in the past.

"Mother..." Looking into Frigg's eyes, Loki finally couldn't help crying like a child, "I'm sorry..."

If it wasn't for his mischievous guidance, perhaps Frigga would not have died.In the past, Loki never thought of being responsible for anything he did, or he never thought that what he did before was such a big deal, until Frigga's death made him realize that no matter what he did, he needed to do it Good preparation to bear the consequences, have the courage to bear the consequences.

This sentence of sorry may not have any substantial effect-what happened can never be changed.But this is a knot in Loki's heart. He feels that he has failed Frigga. He wants to apologize and atone for his sins. If not, he would not have done those things later.

Frigga stroked Loki's hair tenderly.The child in front of her has grown up, and every scene of his growth is still in front of her eyes. If possible, she would like to watch her two children forever.

"Loki, we all love you very much. You have been my child since you came to us." Frigg took out a handkerchief and wiped away the tears of the weeping child in front of her, "Maybe your father is not good at expressing , but he loves you no less than anyone else. And Thor..."

"He's a silly kid too."

Frigga sighed softly: "Loki, you and Thor are two people whose lives and souls are connected, and there should be no barrier between you."

Loki looked at Frigg and whispered, "He's always more likable than me, mother. Thor has many friends wherever he goes, and to be honest, I always don't like his group of friends that much, whether it's Those in the past, and those in the present. With them, I'll never be the first, or one of the first people Thor thinks of when he needs help. No, he might not think of me at all."

Frigga looked at Loki's somewhat disappointed eyes, and couldn't help but smile.Holding her youngest son's cheek, she said softly, "Loki, you still haven't recognized yourself...Maybe when Thor needs help, the first thing he thinks of is not you, but when he encounters danger , the person he wants to protect the most has always been you."

Frigga pointed to the book on her lap and said softly, "For you, he is willing to pay any price..."

Loki followed Frigga's hand and looked at the book. On the unfolded page, there was a picture of the soul gem, and the text beside it was written about the story of the soul gem: If you have the power, you need to sacrifice to him...

When Loki opened his eyes, it was already noon the next day.The dream all night made him a little tired. He pressed his temples and sat up from the bed, thinking that it was really not the right time for this dream to end. He hadn't finished reading the content of that page of the book. It came to an abrupt end.

Soul gems need to be sacrificed to exert their power...

Loki stared at himself in the bathroom mirror, and couldn't help but get a little distracted.

If it needs to be exchanged... What did Thor sacrifice to the Soul Stone to get himself back?
