Diaries Of Loki's Chambermaid 68: Big Decisions

Dear Diary, I am in the most beautiful realm, Rivendell. I am here having witnessed my mother’s wedding to the love of her life, Elrond and I have a new sister in Arwen. I am favoured in the fortunes which enrich my life. Terrible things have happened in the last twenty-four hours and yet I do not want to record them in any great detail here for fear of turning you into an encyclopaedia of catastrophes and calamities! Let me simply say that my mother and Elrond faced great peril which was averted by… of all people… Loki.

He has been here amongst us. In disguise of course, but not hidden. No, Loki chose to prevent us seeing him by changing into a vibrant and gregarious character and spending time with us! His effrontery is paralleled by no other! Anyway, for the most part we have had a wonderful time here and although there was an awful accident, there are no lasting harmful effects to anyone, although a horse had to be euthanised unfortunately. The really strange part of it all is what happened to me and the person I met, too.

Thor is not of Frigga’s blood! His mother is none other than Gaia, the Earth Mother. She has many names, of course, but I was really surprised to learn of this – and from the woman, no the Goddess – herself. She sought me out in Rivendell, sang me a strange song which she said was my own prophesy, and handled Mjölnir. It was while we were talking that the accident happened and I went to help. My memory is a bit hazy as to what happened, but I had visions of many times in Mjölnir’s history where Loki and Thor worked together for the common good and they joined their forces together to create favourable results. Then there was a huge storm around me while I stood next to Mother and Elrond where they lay mortally injured. Within it I saw Loki’s magic and the power of Mjölnir combine to bring them back from the brink.

This has such huge implications for me. What do I do now? I cannot simply swan around Asgard and the Nine proclaiming myself to be the wielder of Mjölnir! I do not call her, she arrives. I do not carry out all this ‘magic’, she does. I know I have to get her back to Asgard, though. To leave her here in Rivendell will cause untold problems. So I have made the difficult decision to stand by my intention to leave.

I am going home, Diary. Home to Loki………….
