Chapter 91 Ice

With weak knees, I fell too the ground. My vision gloomy and my comprehension of reality blurry. A dry feeling entered my, a feeling of weakness and helplessness. The blur in my eyes turned into water, falling on the ground. My throat was getting way too dry, I tried to scream, but no word left. Everything, everything was a lie. My mother, my father. My friends, my efforts, all of it. My life's a lie, I'm nothing.

My arms, holding up the rest of my body, in my kneeling position, gave in. Making me fall on the ground completely, laying flatly on the ground. Millions of questions entered my mind and left just as fast. None of it mattered, nothing did. I'm just a result of my mother and fathers plan. What's the point of living.

" What's up with you?" Alice asked me, her voice acting like an echo in my soul.

What am i doing? Why am I so pathetic? So what if my life's a lie, I will make it true! Slowly, strength returned to my body. A strength gained from the bound shared between the one truth of my life. Even, if the dry feeling in my throat never left, i regained my calm.

" sorry, i lost my composure, it won't happen again. Let's quickly gain you some acceptance and leave this accursed place." I said, my voice weak, like I've been sick, for a long time.

As my mind stabilized, I slowly realized something was wrong. I was cold, yet not cold. Like I was standing on cold water. So i looked down and saw a white sheet, covering the world. Snow, I thought, as i saw the white world, surrounding us.

It was cold and it made me want to shiver. But I didn't. Even if my water powers were corrupted, for the moment, it still retained it's effects. Alice was different, she shivered. Her thin clothes, she used, when she lived in the cave. Barely warmed her body, in the cold, winter environment.

With no trees in sight, or grass, or even mountains. There was no way for me to help her, other than snuggling close to her, to keep her warmth. I couldn't give her my clothes, as I also wore thin clothes.

Despite my attempt at keeping her warm, she was gaining a fever, quickly. Her forehead was getting pinker, by the second. Warm, steamy breath left her mouth, as she breathed in the cold air. I tried to protect her with my water, but it was still corrupted.

" Raagghhhh" Came from the distant. It somehow increased the cold and made Alice fall to the ground, shivering. " Alice." I said as I tried to help her up. When I touched her hands, that had only been separated from me, for but a moment, I felt i like i touched the snow. Panic struck me, as I got desperate. But my desperate state of mind, got disturbed by a big white, troll.

It's giant figure, slowly revealed itself, from under the snow. Following it's reveal, several other trolls appeared. Why Trolls, I thought to myself, as I got ready to defend Alice with my life.

The trolls ugly fingers, as sharp as nails, came at me, with incredible speed. My battle instincts kicked in and I jumped backwards, now standing right next to Alice. Even if i scarifies my sword, it's fine. I thought, as my sword appeared, it instantly started to transform, getting corrupted. With no time, I charged forward, towards the first troll. If i kill them, I can make them material for Alice flame. After that i can quickly create a house and hunt more of these creatures, this is her last chance and I will grab it.

My sword cut cleanly through the monsters hand. But it quickly healed. That's when I stopped, because the hand on the ground was still there. I just got a genius idea. Grabbing the troll, i quickly beheaded it and ran back to Alice, some meters away from us. This place was really scary. Even those trolls, were fourth dimensional beings. But they are weaker then me, thankfully.

I dropped the cleanly cut head, in front of Alice, that had regained her consciousness slightly and thanks to all the torture shes been through. Freezing slightly, only had an effect on her body.

" Use your flame." I said, as my sword, started to fall apart. It could no longer live through the strain. Thankfully, it lasted enough, to use it to bring the head here.

Alice, through all the strain and pain her body was in, still managed to lit the fire.

The warmth, I have missed, for the last hour, finally returned and so did the control over my powers. I quickly created a small house, of water and ice, around Alice.

Using my unhinged powers, I bonded every single one of them.

" Sorry, it's you or me and I got unresolved business!" I said to the trolls, knowing the kind of life, they would live from now on.

I dragged the trolls into the house. The fire was already going out, so I cut of the arm, of one of the trolls and threw it into the fire. The troll screamed in agony, as it's friends watched in horror. Just like us, they are alive, they fear pain and death. They just wanted food and we were the perfect prey in their eyes. Sadly they chose wrong.

~Pov Loki~ (third person)

" Get out of the way!" A big man screamed, a huge two handed great sword on his back.

" No!" An enraged Loki screamed.

" Get a grip Loki, were here to save you." Screamed a brown haired, muscles man.

" I don't need saving, leave me alone." Loki screamed, as he attacked the duo.

Lokis spear met with the muscles brown haired man. The runes on his body shone, with a green light. The golden spear in his hand, had hundreds of runes. Many of them, being one of the same.

Loki jumped back and started spinning his spear. Behind him, the earth rose and light balls, appeared all around him. Smashing down his spear on the ground, Loki attacked once more. Earth pillars behind him, launched at the muscles man.

The muscles man, used his one handed axe, to destroy the pillars coming his way. Brute forcing his way through Lokis attacks.

" You have grown Loki!" The man said, with an exited glint in his eyes.

" I can say the sane for you, Thor." Loki said, as the light around him, returned to his body. Before he started to shine dangerously. Loki finally became serious. As Lokis spear met with Thors small axe, Loki and the spear exploded in a powerful light. Sending Thor flying. Crashing into the walls of the castle.

The man, with Thor before, had entered the castle, to face the owner. While the two were fighting. He had no doubt Thor would win. After all, he trained the boy, himself.

Loki didn't wait for Thor to get back up and attacked again. Several pillars of earth, hit the man. Making him, scream in pain, being thrown into the wall, over and over again.

" Stop this Loki, were here to help! Why do you attack us?" Thor said, as he got out of the rubble. Tears escaped his eyes. The betrayal hurt him tremendously. " I trained for years, years. Never stopping, only resting to sleep and eat. All for this day, all to rescue you! Why, why do you attack us?"

" I can't let you hurt Slavarsh, he did nothing wrong. He taught me all I know. He doesn't deserve death! I know of the Asgardian way, i know how you treat the frost giants and giants generally."

" Why would we kill him, he will have a fair trial in Asgard, I promise you that."

" Do you swear in the name of your father and mother." Loki asked, as he turned less hostile.

" I swear on everything i care for, that he will receive a fair trial!" Thor answered, sure of himself.

" Okey, I surrender, on the terms of a fair trial for Slavarsh, the frost giant." Loki said, with a happy smile on his face. Which Thor imitated, as the two of them entered the castle.

A sword, was inside Slavarsh. The warrior, who fought him, was short on an arm and a part of his head, was missing. Slavarsh, was dying at the second. A blue, freezing blood, left his body, freezing the very realm.

" Slavarsh!" Loki screamed, as he rushed forward. His eyes, tremebled in pain, as he saw, the man, he had come to see as a father, pass away, right in front of his eyes.

The warrrior, saw Loki running towards him and then looked at Thor. Giving him an approving nod, before smahing his fist into Lokis face, knocking the kid out cold.

Slavarsh saw this and got enraged. In a last spurt of power, he took the second arm of the warrior and sent him flying.

Before the life completely left his eyes, he looked at Thor and said. " Protect him! If you care for him, then run. Or you both will die, as for this man, he will die, the infinites demands it!" Before, his eyes grew empty and the air started to shake.

Thor grabbed his helmet and destroyed it. A portal was created from the destroyed helmet and he threw himself and Thor inside it, before both died.

As the two left, ice started to cover the inside of the castle. Even Nifelhiem, the realm of the mist and ice, was growing colder, until, the body of the giant known as Slavarsh started to shine. Before, it exploded, destroying the castle and covering all the snow in Nifelhiem, in ice.

~Pov mc~ (Third person)

" Raghh" The troll howled in pain, as Ragnar cut of it's leg and threw it into the fire. Then he cut the arm of another troll and started cooking it. A snowstorm was outside, while Alice was shivering, on the inside. Ragnar had grown dull, to the howls of pain from the troll and with no distraction from Alice. He was trapped in his mind, forever thinking of his past life on earth. Everything had been a lie. Then how did he die, who was Bus kun, with few questions answered, so many new were created.

~Small time skip~

Alice showed signs of waking up. But Ragnar didn't notice. He was busy hurting himself, trying to keep himself sane.

When Alice woke up, she was greeted by the sight, of Ragnar's arm, inside the Hearth flame. He stared emptily into the fire, that was burning his arm. Alice was filled with rage, at that moment and stood up, to punch Ragnar. As the fist connected with Ragnar's face, he turned around, his empty eyes, meeting Alice. Making her smack him again.

" Stop, now! Why are you hurting yourself. Can't you see, that you hurt everyone, but yourself, when you do so?" Alice said, upset, beyond, anything she had ever been.

" What changes if your life before was fake, huh. Did you break down like this, when you died. If not, then get a grip. This pain, it's not necessary. You don't need it, you have me. Isn't that enough, me and you against the world. You don't need anything else." She screamed, her emotions, expressed with her harsh and carrying words.

Ragnar looked at Alice. Even through the verbal and physical abuse, he received. His reaction was not one of distress. But he had no reaction, he simply laid down. While cutting another arm of a troll and adding it to the flame.
