Adisa had assumed a lot of things about Frost Giants. It was possibly because her people told stories about them to make them as monstrous as possible, but they were really not much different than the people she had met back home. They looked very different, were of course more harsh, and blunt in the way they spoke but she could see that they were very loyal people.

She was surprised that Frost Giant's used fireplaces to keep warm. She thought that they were completely immune to the cold. How else could you explain their almost naked appearance. Their fires were much smaller than an Aesir, possibly because they tolerated the cold a lot better or because they were only really using the fire for light. Adisa wasn't sure yet, and she was afraid to ask. It was something she felt she would have to discover on her own.

Since she arrived, she couldn't stop looking around the room. Everything was new and exciting. The three woman didn't seem to mind her curious gaze, and forced her into a wooden tub and scrubbed her clean. The water had hardly been boiled, and she still found it too hot for her new skin. When they were finished the women forced her to dress in revealing clothes. They were brown in color, and were similar to what they were wearing. Adisa's mother would have been very upset to see what her daughter was wearing. The idea of her stomach showing and breasts bursting from her top would be enough to make any member of court faint.

The three women were excited, happily chatted about Adisa. Adisa thought they would think she was mad after she explained how she ended up the top of an abandoned mountain naked. The tallest of the three who Adisa quickly learned was named Axwen simply told her, that Hel pretended she didn't send many people back. When in reality she revived people more than she thought. She was also fond of Frost giant's considering she was part Frost Giant herself.

"Besides." Axwen said, "Who would lie about being married to a madman."

Adisa wanted to argue with them. She really didn't see Loki as a madman, but when the women explained that their Queen didn't need to explain herself she closed her mouth tightly. Earis the kinder of the three leaned forward to Adisa and explained to her that they had seen worse kings.

The information didn't make her feel any better, so she decided to remain silent as they swept around the cabin preparing some kind of meal. They had creatures she had never seen hanging from the ceiling, and she didn't dare question what they were. If she thought about it, it might have made her vomit and she didn't want to be rude.

Some sort of stew and bread was placed in front of her, and suddenly she realized how hungry she was. The stew itself was thick, brown and had a sharp flavor. It was unlike anything she had ever tasted before, but the more she ate the more she enjoyed the stew.

Axwen watched her carefully, as if Adisa was going to jump from her chair and kill them at any second. Adisa was of course aware of the odd looks she was getting, but she didn't dare challenge Axwen. She was sure the woman could snap her over her knee.

Adisa had noted that she was indeed smaller than the women in the room. But she had also been a small woman in Asgard. The sudden thought of home made her heart sink. She had no idea how to get back, let alone convince Loki to come back to Jotunheim with her.

The women were kind enough to believe her story. Axwen almost groaned at the idea of a new king, and went into a lengthy discussion about how it was about time a true blood took the throne. Adisa had no idea that empty throne had been fought over for the past few years, and they had more kings then they could count. As soon as one appeared, they were murdered.

"Men!" Axwen had scoffed, "Useless lot."

Pressing her lips together, Adisa thought of what she should do next. She gently placed her spoon on the table, and ignored the odd looks she was getting from the women. They were all clearly excited Adisa was there, because she brought them hope.

Adisa could possibly help them gain a peace treaty between their realm and Asgard. Peace meant no more wars, and it also meant some kind of trading. All of Jotunheim had known they had fallen on hard times, and they needed some kind of help.

"She is indeed Asgardian, look at her. You can read the emotion on her face!" Axwen yelled across the room, not liking that Adisa had showed any kind of weakness. Adisa was taken back by the loud outburst, for a moment she had forgotten how blunt these women were.

Earis annoyed by her friend's outburst turned her gaze to Adisa and thought for a moment. "I believe it would be custom for your people to ask what bothers you." The statement almost made Adisa laugh; no one had ever asked her why she looked sad. Loki was the only one who cared enough to even notice.

"I don't know how to get home. I can't bring Loki here if I.." Adisa was suddenly cut off when Axwen let out a deep sigh of annoyance. Everyone at the table looked at her, waiting for her to speak.

"Asgardians! Useless lot!" She insulted, peering down at Adisa. "Make him come to you! Frigga has the sight. She knows you're here!" Axwen slammed her fist on the table, shaking the contents on top. Adisa quickly reached for her mug, making sure that it didn't spill over. The other three women didn't bother to move at all.

Adisa tried to hide the hurt on her face. She would have never of thought that Loki would come find her, she had always assumed she had to go find him. She wasn't thinking when she spoke, and she knew when she opened her mouth that she had asked a stupid question when each of the frost giants gave her a snarl.

"You think Frigga knows I'm alive?"

For a moment Adisa didn't expect the women to answer until the third female frost giant spoke. Adisa did not know her name, simply because her name was too complex to pronounce. She did however know her voice was husky, and almost manly.

"Of course she knows! All of the realms will know! You don't go unnoticed after being brought back from the dead." Adisa never thought of the impact she was going to make. In her mind, being brought back to life was so far a simple gesture.

The idea of all the realms knowing who she was terrified her, she would much rather go unnoticed. She felt stupid. How could she not have known that whatever Hel had planned was much bigger then she could comprehend?

"You are lucky it was us that found you. Planned by Hel no doubt! If it was anyone else I suspect they would have slit your throat. Hel would not be so willing to bring you back a second time." Earis spoke, kindly.

Adisa cringed. Earis was right, if it was a cabin full of men she had stumbled across she was sure they would have raped and murdered her. She didn't know what was worse, being murdered again, or see the disappointment on Hel's face.

"It's time to rest. Tomorrow you have a big day ahead of you." Earis stood up and ushered the other women away from the table. They were not impressed by being pushed around by Earis but followed her direction without complaint.

"What happens tomorrow?" Adisa was afraid to ask, the look of disappointment never seemed to leave the women's faces. Adisa felt so much like a child, and couldn't understand why these people wanted her to be their ruler. Hel was clearly making a mistake.

"We go to the castle and kill the king." Eris said simply watching the panic on Adisa's face. Adisa did not expect the words to fall out of the giant's mouth, and the idea of killing anyone was absurd. She could barely walk about without stumbling.

"Can't I just ask him to leave?" Adisa choked, she felt as if everything was starting to get out of hand. The women looked at her as if she had three heads. A loud rupture of laughter echoed throughout the cabin.

"Asgardians!" One of them laughed slapping her hand on a table before leaving the room. Adisa didn't dare ask them anymore questions, she feared she would be laughed at. Eris pulled her into the living room and forced her to sit down on what she assumed was a couch. Without an exchange of words, the frost giant handed Adisa a blanket and headed off to her own bed.

Adisa found the room too hot to use a blanket, and instead used it to tuck under her head. The couch was small, lumpy and impossible to fall asleep on. Even if the couch was comfortable, she would have still found it impossible to sleep. The past couple of hours still played out in her head, and she was still finding it hard to believe that this was still happening.


Thor could admit that he missed his new sister. There was something about her that was oddly soothing, and he was heartbroken when she had died. Not just because of the pain Adisa suffered moments up to her death, but for his brother who was now truly lost without her. It was surprising how quickly his family seemed to fall apart without her. Even his father seemed at a loss that she was gone, even if he wouldn't admit it.

Thor was over joyed when his mother came running to him, to explain the vision she had seen and when Heimdall confirmed what he had seen his family was overjoyed. Even Loki was happy to hear the news (as much as he tried to hide it).

Loki didn't speak a single word to Thor as he marched into Jotunheim. Thor couldn't help but notice how unprepared they were, but Loki didn't stop for anything. He was on a mission to get his wife back. So when the cold wind hit them both, they finally realized how hard their mission was.

They knew she was with 3 female frost giants in the mountains, and they were slowly moving towards the castle. Just like their mother had predicted. Adisa was after all their queen.

Jotunheim was a dangerous realm, and Thor was happy that Adisa was among friends. She would not survive otherwise.

Loki had been oddly silent about the news of his wife's new body. Thor had expected his brother to be disgusted, but then it slowly dawned on him that Loki truly loved Adisa. Adisa was the only person who saw him for what he was and what he wanted to be.

Thor shivered when the cold air hit his body. He had noticed that the freezing winds hardly effected his brother, and looked as if the cold didn't bother him at all. This was something Thor had noticed since childhood. Loki always seemed more at ease in the cold, and could play in the snow for hours.

Thor hadn't noticed that in the distance a large castle was slowly approaching. Large and made of ice, the castle was a sight to behold, if it wasn't crumbling. At one point in its life, the castle must have been stunning. The years of abuse were evident on the walls surface.

Thor finally noticed what Loki was looking at when he stopped.

"Mother said we would find her there?" Thor asked, stepping beside his brother. Loki gave him a look of annoyance mumbling something under his breath, before moving forward in the snow. He wanted his wife home as quickly as possible and didn't have the time for stupid questions.
