Little did Eric know during the night of which he had awoken from his nightmare was the fact that Loki had been awake, staring that the locket that was once his Maleficent/Harmonia, his mother. Not having moved from when Eric had left the bed to when he came back to his side. With the blanket being pulled up to his shoulder, the Jotun continued to look at the locket remembering all that happened. It indeed haunted him and knew that his life companion and his goddaughter were here for him as he was there for them. They kept him grounded, not losing himself within his sadness and depression. But his regrets were ever present for they haunted him more. With the kiss that was placed on his head, Loki closed his eyes, feeling his mind settle before having fallen asleep. 

Within the following morning, Lounging upon one of the branches of the Hometree, watching his goddaughter Selena as she was being taught by Eric further within combat training. Granted she learned from the Warrior's Three and a little further from Hades, though he remembered the day that Selena had practically begged her uncle to train her further within the ways of combat. Loki had to admit that she had a honorable warrior's heart. That he knew for certain and Loki could only smile. Watching them now, the Jotun subconsciously was fiddling with a dagger.

"Ah!" Be blocked and spun in the other direction, Selena had almost lost her balance only to regain it and spun to face her uncle. "I thought we were sparring, not spinning me till I get dizzy." Selena pouted a little only to fade with a smile. Selena flipped her right curved sword facing behind her while the second her had in the left hand toward her uncle. "One go. I think I've got this down."
