Long before Loki raised his blade, there was another story that took place.

After the evil Queen Ravenna killed another king in the cosmos with her deadly magic, she ruled over his kingdom with the power of the Magic Mirror, along with her sister, Freya, by her side. After noticing her sister in love with the Duke of Blackwood, Ravenna recalls that her sister was pregnant, which Freya herself did not know. As she tells Freya that love was a weakness, Freya reassures that love can have surprising outcomes. However, as Ravenna continues to warn her sister, Freya angrily tells her that she doesn't know everything before leaving the room, unaware that Ravenna looked upon the Magic Mirror, saying that she does.

Sometime later, Freya and the Duke marry in secret, and gave birth to a daughter. But, one night, as she was lured away from the palace, Freya finds her daughter's room on fire from afar, and rushes to her crib, only to find it burnt, and the Duke stating that he had no choice. Betrayed, Freya screams in sorrow, and unintentionally unleashes her ice powers, turning the Duke into an ice statue, shattering it, before collapsing at where she stood. Ravenna manages to catch her sister as she fell, and notices her transformation of having white hair, pale skin, and icy blue eyes.

In her grief, Freya left the kingdom and went to the north towards the kingdom of Alfheim, where a young boy was being trained by the Light Elves. As he was training, a young boy with raven-black hair walked to the training grounds in curiosity by himself. He catches sight of the young Eric, and witnesses him shoot an arrow at the target. Eric catches the boy watching, and they gaze at each other. They don't speak, but gazed at one another. The raven-haired boy knew that he wasn't allowed in the training area, but Eric walks towards him instead. As he does, the young boy runs away, thinking that he was in trouble. Eric seems confused, but he wondered.

Later that day, Freya forces the ElvenKing Thranduil to retreat from his throne, usurping his position as queen, while her soldiers abducted dozens of children from the race of Men, and enslaved them, including Eric. Taking them into her ice fortress, she reassures them that she will free, train, and teach them to harden their hearts to love, stating that love was a weakness.

For many years, the children spent their days training in combat to become Freya's personal huntsmen. Her two most exceptional fighters were Eric, and another female warrior named Sara. As they reach into adulthood, Eric ages into a tough and humble warrior, along with Sara, and soon falls in love with her. From her palace, Freya watches as they defy her one rule, and summons a devastating freeze of frost, causing the whole kingdom to freeze over. Eric tries to keep Sara away from the freeze, but she demands him to leave. Devastated, Eric watches the freeze cause her body to become pale, before frost forms, freezing her to death. As soon as she does, the storm breaks away, leaving a motionless Sara in Eric's arms as he grieves.

A year after Ravenna's demise, and a week after the War of the Realms, Eric awakens from the nightmare of his past, panting as he realizes that he was still inside the small, treehouse-like cabin that he, his niece, and his new life companion, Loki, built in the Home Tree of the Moors. Relieved to see the fully grown Silena still sleeping in a separate room, across from the room he shared with Loki, Eric covers the Jotun with the silky blanket until it reached his shoulder, unaware that Loki was awake the whole time, as he continued to stare at the locket his mother left for him.

The next day, Loki watches from the sidelines as Eric starts teaching Silena in combat training, until Queen Frigga's handmaiden, Fulla, rides up to them on a horse. She gives Eric what looks like a letter, presenting an invite from the Light Elves for the Winter Festival at their realm. They agree on going to this kind of event, and when they get there, they reunite with the ElvenKing Thranduil and Prince Legolas. As the festivities go on, Silena asks her godfather for a dance, to which he accepts. It was all a joyful time until the king's marchwarden leader, Haldir, reports that the Magic Mirror, which was being transported by the Light Elves from Asgard on Frigga's request, was stolen while en route to the deepest part of Alfheim, after the retrieving soldiers seemingly "killed each other". Odd and strange to hear such news, Thranduil talks to the three guardians in private about the mirror, and requests them to retrieve it for him, where it will be safe from going into the wrong hands.

After the festival that night, Loki has a recollection with Silena in her own room as they talk about their past memories together, until he almost lets out his problem to her. She doesn't hear the whole thing as she was getting ready for bed behind a screen, but luckily, Loki brushes it off, telling her to not worry about it. A few cuddles and laughs the two had, while Eric listens to the conversation behind the door, outside the room.

Bidding her goodnight, Loki doesn't see his life companion while exiting, and spends his time alone at one of the water springs outside within the moonlight, sitting inside it on one of the spring steps. As he thinks back to the time of Boromir's death, it continues to haunt him as he continues to be afraid of his Jotun side. Cuddling into himself, Loki didn't notice Eric approaching the spring, having to find Loki rolled into a ball. Concerned, he joins him, until Loki brushes off the conversation, and gives Eric the same necklace that he once gave to Thor, telling him to never take it off as long as they were together. However, they were unaware of a white owl seemingly observing their conversation, as a woman in the distance looked through a white mask, which projected her consciousness into the white owl, allowing her to watch their every move.

That same night, Loki has a nightmare about his Jotun heritage, as he witnesses all the bad things it could do: cause destruction, give Silena painful frostbite, and cause Eric to freeze to death. As he struggles within the dream, he is suddenly reassured by a vision of the goddess, Harmonia, before he awakens, with Eric already coming to his side. Again, Loki brushes it off, too scared to admit anything to him, leaving Eric a bit too concerned for his companion's well-being.

The next day, Eric and Loki, teamed with Silena and Legolas, reluctantly set off to find the Mirror deep in Alfheim, until they stop to see the death site of the retrieving Elven soldiers, upon discovering that the Mirror was missing from the site. Investigating, Eric finds one of the swords covered in tar, while Loki spots a protruding object sticking out from one of soldiers: a strange, bronze-covered dagger with a diamond inside. Not sure of what they were looking at, they go to a tavern and ask the owner about the strange massacre, until they were approached and threatened by a group of other huntsmen. As they attack and mock Eric, Loki finally saw enough, and screams in rage, unintentionally summoning a razor-sharp ice trail upon the attackers, freezing and shattering them. For conjuring such an attack, the Jotun's rage continues to keep his magical energy aflame, until Silena's affection manages to calm him down. Later that night, Loki finally manages to confess to Eric about his problem, and Eric finally gets to confess about his own: his Jotun heritage.

The next day, the quartet walks through the woods until they suddenly get ensnared in a trap laid out by the dwarves, Dwalin and Kili. Silena begins to bicker with them, but Eric manages to break them up until they manage to convince them to help find the Mirror. The group reaches the deepest part of Alfheim, until the goblins, who possess the Magic Mirror, attack. Silena, Legolas, Dwalin, and Kili manage to retrieve the Mirror, while Loki and Eric took care of the attacking goblins. However, as they retreated, they are ambushed by the Ice Queen, Freya, and her legion of huntsmen. She confronts them, as Loki has never seen her before, and forces them to fight against her "children" separately, and go back to each other. However, as they refused, she turns Dwalin and Kili into ice statues, and once again, threatens that Legolas and Silena will be next as they were being held captive. With no choice, they succeed into completing her challenge, but as they were about to go back to each other, Freya creates a massive ice wall to separate them from each other before enchanting an illusion for Loki to see through the ice wall: Silena, Legolas, and Eric running away (even though they really didn't). Feeling betrayed and enraged, Loki feels the same anger he felt when Thor betrayed him, while Eric is knocked out by one of the Huntsmen on the other side. Freya, feeling his heart turn cold, convinces the Jotun to join her before departing with the Mirror and the ice statues, unaware of Silena and Legolas tending to Eric on the other side of the wall. An hour later, Eric manages to awaken and discover that Loki was missing.

Meanwhile, at the ice fortress in the North, Freya takes Loki within the throne room, until he discovers what looks like a crib, made of ice. He asks her what the crib was for, with her responding that it was none of his concern, leaving him to wonder. As Freya approaches the Mirror, already hung on the wall, she recites a spell, causing a golden liquid to emerge and transform into Ravenna, who reveals that she sent her spirit into the Mirror before her life was taken, while sitting on Freya's throne, leaving the younger sister suspicious of her sibling's intentions. Upon noticing Loki, Ravenna was suddenly stopped by her sister, before she could make any damage. The Jotun remained near Freya, in hopes to not make it worse for himself.

Meanwhile, Eric infiltrates the icy kingdom to go after Freya, while Legolas and Silena proceed to find the gallery room, where all of the ice statues are held.

Inside, Freya gives a speech for all her huntsmen, while Ravenna stood near the throne. Upon one of the higher levels, Eric attempts to shoot his crossbow at Freya, but the arrow was stopped by the hand of Loki, fully fledged in his armor. He greets Eric in a mocking, cold manner before throwing the arrow back at him, just for him to move out of the way in the nick of time. Eric was then restrained by the fellow huntsman, and because of Ravenna's wishes, the Ice Queen sentences him to death, since he was a traitor. While being brought before the throne, Eric tries to convince a few huntsmen, even Loki, about the love of family. This leaves the Jotun mentally conflicted for a moment, and watches as Eric was forced to his knees. However, conflicted he was, his thoughts began to race. Eric looks at him with desperate eyes, and manages to tell him that he was tricked. Loki sees the figure of Harmonia watching him, and one sight of her reminded him of what he was doing. Right before the sword was dropped upon Eric, the blade instead breaks off the chain, as the Huntsmen join forces with him, claiming the love of brethren.

After this, Ravenna gets angered and kills many of the huntsmen with her magic, until Freya forms a massive ice wall between the huntsmen and the three beings. While the remaining huntsmen try climb over the wall, the two sisters argue over the icy kingdom, with Loki listening. That was until Ravenna recklessly implies that she's the one who drove the weakness out of Freya. The little sister asks on how she did so. Ravenna tries to dismiss the subject by walking away, but Freya angrily demands her on what she did, before cupping the sides of her sister's face to read her mind, unaware that Loki unintentionally joined into the touch. Managing to see Ravenna curse the Duke of Blackwood into murdering Freya's child, Loki and Freya break away from the connection, before he rips the helmet off of himself, letting it clatter on the floor. Now knowing that Freya's actions were caused by the claimed weakness of love, he now understands that Freya forced him and Eric to separate, just because the Ice Queen was under the belief of knowing love as a weakness.

Freya, filled with anger at this discovery, turns against her sister, and joins forces with Eric, Loki, and the remaining huntsmen, as soon as they made it over the wall, before it crumbled. Silena suddenly joins in the fight, until Ravenna grabbed her by the neck. Legolas manages to save her, just before Ravenna could consume her beauty. To keep them busy, Ravenna summons the glass warriors to attack the elf prince, Silena, and the remaining huntsmen. As the chaos ensues, Freya gets fatally wounded, just until Loki and Eric go head to head with the sorceress. As Eric asks him if he is ready for this, Loki confirms, before they advanced. As they battle it out, the wounded Freya manages to send an ice trail towards the Mirror to freeze it, and as Eric throws his axe at it, the mirror shatters, destroying Ravenna's spirit, and she shatters. Just as the sorceress was defeated, the glass soldiers dissipate. As she dies, Freya apologizes to Loki for what she has done to him, before succumbing to her wounds. The ice statues melt in the gallery as Dwalin and Kili unfreeze from their cryonic sleep.

Leaving the icy fortress, the five are approached by Thranduil, and are tended of their wounds while the ElvenKing takes back his throne. Later, one night, in the training courtyard, Eric was strolling about inside, until he was surprised by a dagger to his throat, knowing that it was Loki. Eric puts the figure's back against the wall, telling him that he forgot about balance. Loki removes the dagger from his throat before a kiss is shared between them. However, they were unaware of a mysterious golden bird watching them as it flies overhead, hinting that possibly Ravenna's spirit still lives...

I hope this is okay! I didn't know what else to do Dx

It's exactly how I thought it would be! Nice work!

o.o I did it?

I DID IT!!!! YAAAAAAY!!!! *does a happy dance*

I made mine brief, to not give anything away the truth of the murder. We expose the truth in the end.

*does the Dougie in happiness, along with Jazz*

Sorry I took so long! :( Was trying to figure out with what I had of what I can do. My post is kind of all I could think of :(

It's alright. I was busy too with something else while I waited on you. Thinking of a new story plot for the next part of the saga, and I was thinking for it to be based on Tim Burton's "Alice In Wonderland".
