Visions

"Now the groom shall kiss the bride.", The Allfather said.

Sigyn smiled confidently, looking at her groom's brown eyes. Within a second, those brown eyes turned into the green one. The golden locks were replaced by the raven one, causing Sigyn to gawk. Loki. 

The ceremony of marriage was almost completed. Sigyn hoped that it was one of Loki's acts of mischief and that he wouldn't marry her. Fear reflected in her eyes, and she felt herself to be vulnerable, exposed. She pleaded silently to Loki not to kiss her, not to complete the ceremony of marriage. 

He kissed her, nonetheless. 

Allfather was furious. But nothing could have changed her fate now.

"Loki! You will spend the rest of your days in dungeons. This marriage is called off-"

Sigyn didn't know what took over her.

"Don't," she whispered.

"Sigyn?" Frigga exclaimed in disbelief. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, All-mother. If this is what Norns have written in my fate," she glanced at Loki and sighed. "I accept it." 

Everyone was silent, as no one had never seen Allfather this startled, but he composed himself. He smashed Gungir on the floor. Everyone froze.

Everyone was silent. They had never seen Allfather this startled, but he composed himself. He smashed Gungir on the floor. Everyone froze.

"Sigyn. You are the most beautiful maiden on the Asgard. Your wit and ability to conjure fire are famous in the nine realms. Are you sure, Sigyn Ivarsdottir of Vanheim, that you want to marry Loki Laufeyjarson?"

Loki's eyes followed her gaze. Unsure of her answer, she closed her eyes. If she denied, was that going to help anyone? Alllfather's image would be affected as he'd be seen as biased. Because it was the law of the universe that a bond of marriage was unbreakable. Not even Allfather was allowed to do it. And what if he did so? She saw the future. Loki fights the Aesir, leading the world to Ragnarök. 

No. Sigyn wouldn't let that happen.

She opened her eyes. 

"Yes!" she whispered.

"Then Sigyn Laufeyjarson, I give you the position of the Goddess of Marriage and fidelity!" Allfather's voice echoed.

Loki's smirk grew into a smile. The crowd was silent for a moment and then began to cheer her name. Freyja and Sif were terrified about what was written in her future. Thor and the warriors three gave her a look of pity.

With her unsure eyes, she looked at Loki.

Both of them stared at each other for a while.

Loki took her hand in his, bringing it to his lips.

Sigyn was relieved. For her married life was going to be full of affection.

Sigyn woke up, sweat covering her face and body. 

Her dreams seemed meaningless until now. There was something she couldn't figure out. Why does the Goddess's face resemble someone? She was more shocked as it was similar to her face.
