[Alex - Nidavellir - POV]

Learning from Emily had proven to be difficult, what was the true meaning of pouring your heart into something, in theory, I understood the principle of it, but in practice, I had no idea how to apply it.

I mean, I already loved crafting, and the power this skill brought me, but that was not enough according to Eitri.

"Alex!" I heard someone shout, snapping me out of my train of thought.

"Thor?" I turned around to find Thor entering my room in Nidavellir.

"Who else but the mighty!" Thor replied with a wide smile, but something seemed off, it was as if the space itself was bending around him, the mana around Thor seemed to oscillate creating a strange reading.

Now that I think about it, where's his name tag, why can't I see his level or name.

There were only two possible explanations the way I saw it, one, this was a being able to distort my power, or two, this was a mage of some kind creating an illusion to trick, and considering I was too much of a small fry to invoke the ire of the few possible gods able to distort my powers, I was inclining to the latter.

The question now was, who was the man standing in front of me? Whoever this person was, it was an enemy that much was clear, the minimap showed his presence as a red dot. Which alleviated my thoughts of him being a dangerous being messing with my powers because if he was, the minimap would also be affected, but that wasn't the case, his illusions didn't affect my map, I could work with that.

Now, what do I know? Whoever this person is he has to know of my relationship with Thor, so maybe an Asgardian, Loki mayhaps.

"So, brother, I wanted to invite you to a glorious quest of might!" Thor smiled, approaching me.

But why would Loki try and trick me, no, scratch that, he was the god of mischief, it was on his nature, the question was, why was he now my enemy, a month ago his dot was green, like all the other Asgardians, so what happened to make him an enemy?

Oh well, this was beyond the point now, if Loki wanted my head, he would have to fight for it.

"I'm not Thor, Loki," I replied with a sigh, "I am not easy to fool, nor I will be an easy prey, so drop the act,"

"Bravo," Loki replied, his illusional form changing back to his with each passing second, "I am impressed mortal, I truly am, it seems unlike Thor and his friends, you use that brain of yours,"

"So, tell me, why do you want to kill me?" I asked with a chuckle.

For a moment, Loki stared at me, as if weighing his next move, perhaps he was surprised with how easy I had seen through his little scheme, or perhaps he was shocked, I knew he wanted to kill me.

"Well, because you like many other mortals have stepped out of your line," Loki sneered, even from afar, I could fill his rage, his hate, his sadness, just what in the hell had I done to him.

And then it hit me, he was jealous, of my relationship with Thor, of my relationship with Sif, of my status in Asgard, he was jealous and out of jealousy, he was throwing a tantrum.

"Oh, I see," I snickered, my right hand covering my mouth ever so lightly, "You are jealous,"

At this, Loki glared at me, not saying a single word, his eyes doing all the talking, in short, I had pressed his buttons.

"You dare…." Loki hissed.

"I dare what? Speak the truth?" I smiled at him with a condescending look, after all, the more pissed he was, the easier it would be to deal with him.

"I will enjoy what's coming next," Loki hissed once again, his level finally appearing above his head, [Loki Odinson - LV 223]

"You will enjoy defeat? I have to say, how altruistic of you," I cackled. 

"That's IT!" Loki screamed in rage, summoning two daggers as he ran towards me.

I looked at Loki as he approached me, and sidestepped as his attack was about to hit, then quickly, before Loki could respond with a follow-up, I swiftly punched Loki in the throat using [Savagery] followed by a second punch to the solar plexus, knocking the wind out of the God of Mischief, stunning him in the ground for a brief moment.

"I fight Thor almost on a daily basis, and you thought you had a chance?" He was a few levels ahead of me, but if I had to take a guess all of his stats were in non-physical areas, leaving him as a mage with no offensive skill, all he had was his illusions, and his conjuration, leaving him with no real offensive skill, meaning that while his level was higher, I was vastly more prepared.

"Sleep!" Loki hissed, touching my leg, immediately after I fell his mana invade my body, trying and failing to mold my head to obey his command, unfortunately for him I was immune to such attacks.

"Did… did you just try to mind control me?" I asked with a smile.

"This… no, it shouldn't be possible, why is your mind so strong, no mortal should have such mental defenses!" Loki hissed, coughing a bit of blood as he struggled to stand up.

"Had you had enough?" I asked, extending my hand to him, "I bear no ill towards you, Loki, I even admire you, so let's be friends? Shall we?"

"Friends?" Loki laughed, "FRIENDS?! I won't be humiliated like this by a mortal! If I can't hurt you directly, I will do it indirectly, perhaps your daug–" he hadn't had the time to finish his sentence, when I had already blasted him back to the ground, stabbing him with his own knife.

"I will be as clear as possible, Loki…" I muttered to his ear, digging the knife deeper and deeper into his body, "Walk on that path, and I will kill you, make no mistake, I am not Odin, I am not Thor, I am not Frigga… I will eliminate you the moment you become a nuisance, is that clear, little god?"

Before Loki could reply, a new presence came into the room, Odin.

"That's enough Alex," Odin said.

"I meant every word I said, Odin," I replied, turning my head around to face Odin.

"I know," Odin replied.

"I don't care about your rules, or his status," I sighed, taking the knife out of Loki's body, "If he threatens my family… ever again, it will be the end of him."

"You… di-" Loki growled only to be silenced by a glare from his father.

"Had I been once second late, he would've killed you Loki," Odin roared, "I will deal with your punishment myself, he's an ally of Asgard! For Bor's sake!" 

"I understand, father," Loki replied, avoiding his piercing gaze.

"Remember my words, little god, for now, I consider you a threat, and my eyes will be forever on you," I added, walking out of the room, sharing a cold look with Odin that said, control your child, or I will for you.

Hohoho!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Loki had made his move, and now it was my turn, knowing what I did about him, the vindictive god of mischief was far from over with his quest to get me.

I knew he would strike again one day, sooner or later, it was in his wretched nature, as it was on Odin's letting him be the way he was, and while I had no qualms about facing him again, for victory was all but assured, my daughters were a totally different story.

They were not prepared to face Loki.

So I had to make some preparations. Preparations the Ancient One would assist me with.

Loki was a Magic caster, one that heavily relied on the use of high grade illusions to fight, alongside some low level conjuration.

Without that, he was an average Asgardian, maybe a bit better than the rest if I had to be begrudgingly honest, but overall he was weaker than the most trained soldiers in his own palace.

The funny thing was, he had immense potential, the potential to become a dangerous foe, even more dangerous than Thor, but his ego would not allow him to improve, for him, he was perfect, his Magic was beyond mortal reach and or comprehension.

But whatever his mental deal was that kept him being a side character of another's story, it worked for me, as long as he was overconfident, I would be able to read him, and plan ten moves ahead.

My measures against Loki were simple.

One, I had the Ancient One forge me an enchanted item whose sole purpose was to dispel illusions as soon as they reached the wearer of the time, the item obviously was not for me, but for Bucky, as he was the unofficial bodyguard of the girls.

Then, I had her teach me that enchantment, which I used to create eight metal golems, infusing the golems with the enchantment.

Golems I then put to level up under the higher level Golem's care.

The metal golems were essential for Loki's next move, their sturdy physique made them almost immune to Magic, and their unique set of skills, that included [Mana Reaver] and [Reflect] made them the perfect to face mages like Loki.

[Mana Reaver] Especially made it hard for mages to deal with these golem, as they ate away the mana of their opponent with each attack.

Heck, being around the golems consumed mana, as the skill also worked passively, however the mana consumption was highly more effective when attacks were in the mix.

With those eight golems, and the others I already had previous to all of this, Loki would not stand a chance, for unlike Thor his physical strength was mediocre at best.

However, my countermeasures didn't end there.

I had a few extra steps and plans set in place just for Loki, waiting for the moment he decided to step out of line once again, as I knew he would, plans that would bring the end of a god before it was his time.

—————————————————————————————-

[Odin Borson POV]

I glared at Loki before I let out a sigh, "Do you have any idea of what would've happened had I been there late?" I asked with a desperate look.

Before Loki could reply, a voice whispered into my head, a voice I hadn't hear in a few thousand years, Hela -You are getting weaker, old man—

"I apologize father, it won't happen again," Loki replied as I assimilated what had happened, why now of all times had Hela decided to talk to me, that she could be as not a surprise, I sealed her, but she had a connection with me, with Asgard, and could communicate with me because of said connection.

But since I sealed her, she hadn't said a word, for a couple millennia she was nothing but silent, yes the first month she screamed at me in rage, but after that, nothing, only silence.

"Father… are you alright?" Loki asked, his voice edging with concern.

"Yes," I nodded, shaking my head, now was not the time to ponder about my daughter.

—He will set me free… and I will pay him in blood, in more than one way, perhaps killing that brat that has annoyed him, that would perhaps win me his favor, don't you think?—

"Loki, you must behave, Alex is a very important man for Asgard, his death would bring us nothing but disgrace," I pressed.

—Ignoring me? My feelings are deeply hurt, wasn't I your princess? The eye of your heart?—

"I understand father," Loki replied, before I dismissed him.

—Then again, you said that with only one eye, so the question is… was I the missing eye, or the one you had, hmm.. I like to think I'm the one you have, that way I can rip it out when I get out of here, after all… it is mine.—

—What do you want Hela?!— I hissed in my mind.

—Me? Not much, your head, the throne, the universe, and him, I want him,-

—You will not be with him, of that I will make sure!- I replied.

—Oh please do, make my quest harder, I do love a challenge you know, in the end makes the conquest all the more sweet.—

—You will rot in there Hela, the only conquest you will ever see, if that of my son taking the throne before you!- I shot back, it pained me to talk to her like that, for the reason she was like she was… was me.

—Hahahaha, you truly have grown senile, you know you won't last long, one day or another… you will die, and we both know those two pathetic excuses you have for sons are no match for me, one is a spoiled brat and the other is a weakling with an ego too big for his own good—

—Alex will help them, if not for Loki he will for Thor, they are brothers,- A friendship I was proud it had formed, to the point Thor himself threatened Loki if he aimed his fangs at the girls of his brother, the ones he calls nieces.

—I know, and I don't mind… I know he will face me, but soon will realize fighting me is pointless, and if by that point he still loves that spoiled brat, well I suppose I could forgive my little brother… if he kneels, after all, one does have to make sacrifices to make a relationship work, and I am willing to make a few,—
