Your armoured boots clanked nosily as you took each step down the winding staircase to the prison cells. The clanking sound echoes throughout the confined staircase, you thought the would surely hear you approaching as you descended into their cells. You hoped that this would not wake them, as you didn't want to draw any attention to yourself. After all, your aim was to figure out how to use the necklace which The Queen had bestowed upon you. You didn't want any prisoners to know that their was a way to use magic to escape! That would put you and everyone in Asgard in immense danger. So, you began to consciously walk slower and softer, reducing the clanking to a light murmur.

Through the corridor you passed, still stepping as softly as a mouse, creeping your way to Loki's cell. The other guards did not notice you enter, "Perfect" You thought to yourself. This is an opportune time to see how this necklace works. You reached Loki's cell. As you looked inside you saw him curled up in a ball, almost like he was trying to make himself as small as possible, facing the wall, hiding himself from the watches of the other prisoners. "This is it, lets try this thing" You said as you moved yourself to be parallel to the wall. Your hands slipped underneath your breast plate and hoisted the necklace out. Your hands grasped the necklace firmly but carefully, you didn't want to break it after all. "Well, here goes nothing" You said as you extended your other hand to the clear barrier and to your surprise, your hand glided through! "It worked!" You smiled as you eagerly climbed through. "This is incred-" You cut yourself off short, you could hear something faintly. Oh my, what is that noise? It sounds eerily familiar, like you've heard this noise so many times before. You still yourself and shut your eyes as you try to focus your ears. The sound grows and you managed to locate in your mind what you think it is. It sounds like metal hitting the floor repeatedly. It sounds exactly like, oh no, your open your eyes broadly and your body begins to tremble. Of course the noise is familiar, the noise sounds exactly like your boots! But that can only mean one thing... a patrol! Guards were coming! They will definitely see you, their is nowhere to hide in these cells. Oh gosh, what the hell are you going to do?! Your heart raced as you began to panic, beads of sweat started to form on your head and trickled down your face, dripping onto the necklace. The footsteps of the guards grew louder and faster. Their shadows marched aggressively across the walls until they fully engulfed you. You shut your eyes in panic, you had no clue what to do. The footsteps reached an almighty boom, but to your surprise, the footsteps did not stop. They stomped past Loki's cell and grew softer again. You wearily opened your eyes and the guards where no where to be seen. How did they not see you? Does going inside make you invisible? You were puzzled but utterly relieved.

You turned around to see Loki sitting wide awake, his eyes wide and his face was ghostly white. "How did you...er" He motioned to the barrier "How did you get in?!" He said bewildered. You began to open your mouth to tell him but suddenly a thought popped into your head. He is your boyfriend, but he is also a prisoner. He has done some terrible things in the past, unspeakable things... Should you tell him how you managed to penetrate a unbreakable barrier to one of the most powerful and dangerous beings in all of the 9 Realms? You felt you hands begin to clam up again, sometimes you forget what atrocities this man had committed within his life. You know deep down he is a misguided man, who just wants to be loved and recognised. You hope that with your love and care you can help save him from himself. He has changed after all, he has not done anything to make you doubt his word. Plus he is your boyfriend! The man of your dreams and the love of your life, but also the God of Mischief. "It's okay" He said distracting you from your conflicted internal monologue. "I don't need to know, I know it's some type of magic from my mother. " He chuckled faintly as he got up and clasped your hands. You looked up to meet his face, his mouth curled into a gentle smile. "I think she likes us as a couple" He jested as he pulled you into a cuddle. His laugh vibrated in his chest as you giggled alongside him. "I like us as a couple too" He said as this left hand trailed up past your hips, glided over your shoulder before it landed oh so delicately on your now rosey red cheeks. A finger curled round your chin and titled your head back and before you knew it, Loki placed a tender kiss on your lips.

"I guess I'm just good at slipping through barriers" You said coyly as you broke away from the kiss. "I managed to slip through this one to see you, but most importantly I slipped through yours to reach your heart" You said whilst pressing your head against his chest. You listened to the rhythmic beating of his heart as you cuddled even closer. Loki grinned and laughed, " You sure did my love".
