Chapter 6 - Honey Words..
Loki's hands seemed to tremble, her hands coming down to touch his cheeks. Her face going through another change as she felt his skin. "And they call me the trickster goddess.. I can't believe you still have these old things.." her voice was low, pulling at the strange skin on Major's face, it sparked as she pulled, water like light shined down as she looked at his overly long hair, it was not in a bun like usual, it cascaded over the couch as she looked into his deep purple eyes.
She felt like she could get lost in his ever calm look, his eyes were not like this, over time they had changed so much, and a part of her hated it, the touch of black in his eyes. They use to be so bright, the purple was like a clear ocean, they would be so teasing with her, now they were still and cold as he looked up at her, still his handsome face that was turned sideways had a small touch of warmth to it.
(Flashback)
"What are you doing here loki? Not like you to be out after a long night of drinking.." A voice rang out, it was young and full of playfulness as everyone in the hall turned to a petite woman. Her red hair shining in the morning sun as she smiled, closing the door behind herself as she looked at everyone.
"What I can't just come by? It's not like I was that drunk.. well maybe. Still I've come to steal more of your gods wine.." Loki spoke in a strange way, hiccuping a little as she looked at the large wooden room, the tables were filled with young and old adventurers. Some talked over a drink and others just laid their heads on the table talking and laughing with others.
"Yeah right, like we don't know. It's more like here to see the Vice captain.." A whisper like voice said, the blonde hair boy talking low to his friends, who all gave a nod.
"She never comes here just to see Zeus, even the captain gets pressured by her to see Kei, I mean the Vice captain.." A girl who was having a girl talk with her friends said, only to get a shhh from the others.
"What is it? I mean, he is a beauty of a man.." The woman didn't care and tried to speak more, only to see a shadow over her shoulder, her breathing changed as Loki leaned in behind her, and gripped her breast.
"What are we talking about? These are actually pretty heavy, did you want to show them off to me? or is it for someone else.." Loki, who could hear the voice of the girls said, her hands gripped and moved the woman's breast around, while her smiling face was playful and yet cold.
"*mmm goddess Loki, please let me go.. we were just talking about going into the dungeon.." the woman being groped said, her sweet voice coming out as she turned red, her friends holding back laughs as she yelled out a excuse and pulled out of Loki's grip.
"Awe, your no fun.. I thought you said something about your Vice captain.." Loki teased wanting to say more, her smile grew as the redden girl moved away, the rest of the hall could only shake their heads at the goddess before everyone stopped.
"That's enough Loki.." from the balcony above the hall, a deep young man's voice came out, his pushed back blonde hair showing as he stepped into the light, his shirt was open showing his abs, as he leaned on the rail, the scar on his cheek and calm eyes gave off a feeling of someone powerful.
"Your no fun as always, Maxim.. I don't get why everyone is so uptight, I just came for a drink.." Loki said, looking at everyone turn their heads away, acting like they weren't hearing the conversation.
"Of course you did, then come up and stop messing with the young girls.." That's all Maxim said, leaning up as he walked back into the shadows of upstairs, as he did everyone let out a breath as they went back to talking.
"Alright cuties, it wasn't long but at least I got to feel. See ya later." Loki said, waving her hand at the young woman who covered her chest, her face was red at Loki's words as she heard the teasing in each word.
Loki walked up the stairs on the left, looking at the torches on the wall as the oak wood shined a beautiful brown, her hands were behind her head as she walked up to a massive arch like door, it was open as she smiled and poked her head in to see a red couch and bar not far away. Her face changing as she saw the man Maxim leaned back on the chair and another man sitting next to him, sweat covered his bare upper body, as his black armor sat on the floor beside himself.
"Yo, how have you been Zald? Looks like your doing better then last time.." Loki said, slowly walking to the couches far side as she sat down, her smile was shit eating as she looked at him.
"What the hell do you want Loki? Your not here to make trouble again are you? Or is it about the Vice captain?" Zald said with a equally shit eating grin, watching Loki kick up her legs, as he smiled at how her face changed a little.
"Why does everyone keep saying that? Can't a goddess just get a drink, you guys have some amazing liquor." Loki who leaned her head back on the couch, said as her face smiled a little to much at the thought of the strange young man.
"Yeah whatever, like anyone would believe you with that face.. shitty goddess." Zald said, as he watched Loki's face snap to him, as sparks between their eyes lit up.
"What the hell did you just say, who are you calling shitty, was eating monster meat not enough shit to eat for you?" Loki snapped back with a smile as she laughed a little, her face smiling as she watched his brows knit.
"You.." Zald wanted to say, the fact she would bring it up made him pissed, as he knew it was just a jab to provoke him even more, his hand tightening as he looked at Loki.
"Enough the both of you, why do you guys even hate each other? *sigh whatever, the court yard area, is through the door by the bar, you should already know." Maxim who was just drinking spoke up finally, a tick mark on his head as he rubbed his temple and spoke calmly.
"…" Loki said nothing, looking how mad Zald was, she smiled as she stood up, her body light as she laughed at Zald one more time, before moving to the door she was familiar with after all this time.
"A drink right? For a goddess of lies, she sucks at it.." Zald said, having his shoulder grabbed by Maxim as he shook his head. "I know.. at least he talks to someone outside these walls, but I can't understand, why that shitty goddess.." Zald couldn't help it, he was happy kei talked to someone, but him and Loki didn't like each other much.
Loki didn't mind as she walked through the door, on the other side a long hallway stretched out, on one side large arching windows let in sunlight as the center of this familia was closed in on all four sides, the light from the sun shined above and down on to the court yard as she leaned over, her face changing as she saw him.
The young man in the court yard, stood alone on the sand as he moved, the sword in his one hand danced to life in the suns glow, each slash made a crisp sound as it became faster and more refined, his long purple hair moved with the wind of each swing, as his upper body that was shirtless, sweat dripped down like a river as it almost looked like art, each move was well placed and didn't have wasted movements. The young mans body seemed to disappear as he moved across the sand, but it soon stopped, right in front of a large solid piece of block metal, his sword glowed as his hand blurred and a beautiful color of golden and green arched out. The projectile was thin but it gave off a cold and warm feeling at the same time. Only for the young man to stop, stabbing his sword in the ground as he fell on his back, after a few minutes the metal block's top slid and fell to the ground.
"It's amazing isn't it?" From beside Loki, a deep and fatherly voice rang out. The voice was full of warmth as he spoke those words, and the care for the young man was evident.
"Yes.. I could watch him use that sword forever, each time I see it, it still amazes me.." Loki spoke absentmindedly, her eyes glued to the court yard, she spoke honestly with a smile, only for her head to snap to her side, seeing the man next to her. "Eh.." letting out a sound as she smiled a little less.
"It's ok Loki, I'm glad to see your being honest for once, don't mind me and go. I didn't hear anything." The man with white hair, his white beard, a tone body and powerful voice said, tapping on Loki's shoulder as he smiled with a tease, only to shake his head as he walked away.
'That freaking bastard.. I hope you don't think I'll thank you, Zeus.' Loki thought, even though her face was full of a strange smile as she moved down to the court yard, her eyes watching the man who laid on the ground, his eyes closed as his chest moved up and down. "Always swinging a sword.. never relaxing, you idiot." Loki shook her head, whispering as she walked over.
Once she made it to the center, she looked down at his upside down face, she liked his face, but was always annoyed when coming here. Slowly she lowered her self to the ground, crossing her legs as she reached her hands out, lifting his head lightly as she placed it in her lap, the wind kicked up, as the mix of purple and red, gave off a brilliant and yet harmonious feeling to all who saw it. Her head low as she rubbed his cheek, looking at his body which had a fair share of scars, then to his eyelids that moved as he cracked them open, his purple eyes like the calm moon as the light sparked with in them, the reflection of herself deep within as a grin came to the young man's face.
"I couldn't think of a more beautiful sight to wake up to.. what do you think, LoLo.." His calm words like honey to her ears as he reached his hand up to rub her cheek.
