Thread: In the depths of Valhalla(Finished, feedback wanted)

Re In the depths of Valhalla Luna stared up at the ceiling as Hod continued to help himself to her body. She didn??t understand why he was doing this if he loved her. Finally after several hours it was all over. He kissed her on the cheek and then looked her in the eyes. The eyes reminded her of Loki??s and she gasp quietly. ??Finally. I finally got what Loki truly promised me.? He said and then got up. He laughed when he saw her, helpless and stunned. ??I??m sorry. But I have no more interest in you.? With that, Hod left her. She didn??t know how long she laid there, or how long she was crying. She didn??t care. She just didn??t care anymore. Vali was the one who found her and hurried to her aid. He put her in the bathtub after he heated the water and began to clean her. She was still crying, and there was no telling when she would stop. Vali knew what had happened to her, but he wanted to know who. Who did this to the love of his life? Who took her virginity and possibly left his vile seed in her womb? After he had given her a bath, he dried her and clothed her and then began to walk out of the cottage. He wanted her to come back to Valhalla, and in her condition, she wouldn??t say no. Luna knew that Vali was taking her to Valhalla, but she??d feel safe there. Had she stayed there, this wouldn??t have happened. Odin would have protected her. But she threw his protection away for a sense of freedom. She looked up at Vali, trying to sniffle away her tears. He looked down at her, sensing that she was awake. ??I??m sorry I couldn??t protect you, Luna.? He whispered as his eyes began to water. Luna was still sniffling, but she was over the crying part at least. ??Why?why did you come? How did you know..?? ??I didn??t?I just wanted you to come to the banquet tonight. We??re inviting a lot of people and I wanted you to be there.? Luna sighed and then nodded. ??I??ll go.? ??No?you don??t have to. Not in your condition. Besides, someone there was probably responsible for this. Right?? Vali asked with a loathing tone. ??It was Hod.? ??Pheh.? Vali scoffed. He knew it, he knew Baldur??s twin and brother had done it. Baldur had been with him all day, so it had to be Hod. He always disappeared, probably stalking her. She dried her tears and then sighed. ??I??ll go though. Odin would want me to be there. Everyone probably does. I??ll tell Odin later, but you can??t. I don??t want to ruin the banquet because of my bad day.? ??Oh, Luna.? Vali looked at her with sympathetic eyes. She shook her head. ??I just don??t want it to be about me. Please don??t pick a fight. Please don??t tell. Please?? She pleaded. He looked down at her and sighed. Even now she was radiant. ??It will take a lot to not kill Hod for what he did to you. But I will?I will do as you wish.? He kissed her cheek and she smiled. ??Odd. I extended my invitation to Loki and he still has not shown his face.? Odin told Baldur. Baldur shrugged. ??I don??t want to see his face here anyway. After what he did to Luna?he needs to just stay away from her. If Vali did get Luna to come, its for the best.? Baldur replied. He looked across the room to his twin brother Hod and glared. Hod felt his gaze and glared back. He didn??t understand why Odin allowed such a snake to be in Valhalla. ??I think its bad enough he has to be here.? Odin shook his head. ??I know how you feel, but there was no point in keeping his existence a secret anymore. So he can stay if he pleases.? As Odin spoke, Luna and Vali came into the room. Everyone turned there heads and saw her, and she looked down at her feet. She felt a little embarrassed from last time. ??Everyone, our main guest is here, clap for her!? Odin bellowed. Applause erupted from the room, and Luna blushed harder. Vali pulled out a seat for her at Odins table, right next to his and the furthest away from Hod. After a few more minutes, everyone took his or hers seat. Baldur was the only one still standing, because it was time for him to perform for everyone else. ??As a tradition, we will amuse ourselves by throwing things at my indestructible son!? Odin shouted. The room erupted into chaos, and everyone began to throw stuff at the God, and he stood there, smiling. Hod got up and then aimed something right for Baldurs heart. Vali and Luna both watched him, wondering why he had chosen that of all things to throw at his twin. ??Baldur?I saw what you did to Luna?you bastard.? Hod mumbled and then hurled the object into Baldurs chest. Baldur suddenly made a small, strained noise and then fell to the floor. ??STOP!? Odin shouted and then ran to his son. Luna and everyone else sitting at Odins table followed. Hod stood there, glaring at the corpse that once was his twin. ??Baldur! Baldur wake up! What??s wrong with him!?? Luna shouted as she shook the stiff body. ??He??s dead?? Odin whispered in disbelief. ??I don??t know how this happened, but everybody in this room must wish him back to life! Otherwise?he will slip into the underworld.? Odin stated. Everyone nodded and began to speak among themselves but someone got up. It was an old lady that looked as if she lived for thousands of years. ??I won??t. What??s he done for me? Nothing. He should stay dead. He was nothing but a shell of a god anyway.? She grinned at Odin, and Odin??s eyes widened. However, his thoughts were cut off when someone let out a monstrous roar. ??YOU BASTARD! I??LL KILL YOU!? Vali screamed and charged to Hod. Hod, who had grown up not knowing any ways to defend himself stood there, stunned. He was sure no one had seen him assassinate Baldur. Vali stabbed him through the heart with a small blade, just as he had thrown the mistletoe in his brothers heart. He staggered back. ??You?don??t understand?Baldur?raped?the love of my life?He raped Luna?? Those were his final words before he staggered back and then dropped dead to the floor. The old woman began to cackle as if she were amused by the horrible show. ??Loki?you are responsible for this. You killed my sons?You tricked Hod, you tricked Luna, you tricked Vali?? Odin began to go blind with uncontrollable rage.
