[center]Estelle gazed down at Jason in silence, absorbing his story. All this had happened while she had been locked away in Fallen Shadows? Wow, it was a lot to take in for sure. As she opened her mouth to give a reply she paused upon hearing a voice call out to them. Surprised, she looked down and saw a girl approaching them. This was a demi-god she had never seen before. Moros. That was the God of Doom. That must suck, having him for a parent. At least the only thing her father did was hide her away. As she opened her mouth the question the newcomer a presence made her freeze as she slowly turned and looked up. 

Crimson eyes glowed down at her, set above a wide smile. Estelle’s eyes widened as her body locked. [color=violet]”Loki.”[/color] The name fell from her lips like a stone and the smile widened as the boy that looked around her age bowed low. [color=red]”So nice of you to remember me Estelle. How have you faired in your new home?”[/color] Suddenly his smile turned cold as he glared down at her. [color=red]”You escaped from me my dear. That wasn’t a nice thing to do. Especially when I was so close to breaking you.”[/color] 

Loki sighed and leaned against the tree as his eyes flickered to Jason and the other girl. He tilted his head as he stared at Jason. [color=red]”So this is the boy that kept you sane all those years. I expected…more..”[/color] He turned his attention back to Estelle who had remained frozen the entire time, stepping closer to the girl. As he leaned down to examine her face her body began trembling. He grinned, the smile anything but kind as he reached up to brush a hand against her cheek. A small whimper escaped her and his grin widened. [color=red]”Still having those nightmares?”[/color] He chuckled. 

When she remained silent his expression hardened. [color=red]”I asked you a question Little Star.”[/color] Estelle flinched like she had been struck, almost falling off the tree branch. He chuckled again as he stood straight. [color=red]”Have you been enjoying the God’s show on the mortal world? It’s so delightful isn’t it?”[/color] He said with a laugh, eyes gleaming with an eerie glow. 

Estelle finally managed to find her words. [color=violet]”W-Why aren’t you going crazy like the other Gods?”[/color] Loki began laughing as if she had just told him a funny joke. [color=red]”Can’t go crazy if you were already insane in the first place. Isn’t that right Mary?”[/color] He asked the doll that had been resting on his right shoulder. Hearing an answer no one else could Loki then turned back to Estelle, taking a step closer to her. [color=red]”It’s been a treat seeing you again darling but I’m afraid I must be going. Things to do, cities to destroy. You know how it is.”[/color] He giggled as he bowed to them before promptly disappearing.

Estelle remained frozen there, hands clenching the tree branch in front of her. Her body was shaking and her eyes had a vacant expression to them, the blue contrasting vividly against her bloodless cheeks. Seeing Loki had brought back memories she would rather forget, horrors that haunt her every dream and sometimes even when she was awake.[/center]
