Viseyna was perfect for that job and not soon she was hired as a nanny by the Queen and soon viseyna and the Queen became some sort of great friends as flora was also six months pregnant with a baby.
Viseyna was a very religious person in the old ways and was a very strong believer, she thought by sacrificing someone for the gods the gods might show them some mercy , she suggested this idea to the Queen and the Queen happily agreed and thought is was a great idea as not only the gods would show them some mercy, they might also deliver the babe safely without fuss. Then the King and the queen invited the other houses to join in the sacrifice as it would be ten times stronger if everyone came together, closer.
The people loki has invtied were lord Taywin and his family and lord Yuron and his family. Even Genevieve loki's ex wife and her Son vidar also came it was unexpected of them to come but they did... Four days had passed and yuron and his family came into the village, yuron and his daughter were riding on a horse whilst his wife helga was in the carriage, he also brought along women age from 17 to 20
He had stolen them from one of his raids from Midgard and was now selling them as slaves, he knew in thus hard times the king needed all the help he could possibly get and wanted maids to clean every corner of his castle. The women were wearing very thin clothes and could see through them and they were visibly shaking from the cold and some of them had frost Bites. The carriage went through the castle yard as petra was standing on the balcony watching as the King and queen met with Yuron and taywin and thier families. "And I have brought these women as maids, we all know we need all the help in these hard times..." said yuron as loki smiled nodding, "Yes indeed that is true... thank you yuron for your generous gift.." said loki as loki then looked at flora who was visibly angry because these were her people that yuron stole and called them as 'slaves'
Flora sighed shaking her head she knew she had to deal with them later.
Everyone walked inside the castle and went into a big hall where there was a big diningtable and food was set on it. "Come... you all must be very tired from your four day long journey.. " He said as taywin nodded. "Oh yes... very..." He said as everyone took a seat and the maids poured them a glass of wine and they took a sip.
Yuron looked at the Queen "and how are you my queen??" Asked yuron while smiling as he drank his glass of wine. "I'm very well, thank you for asking lord yuron" said flora as she smiles back abit asthe guests refreshed from their long journey.
A few minutes went by and loki's advisor his wife and xiaver also came inside the hall and the advisor went to the king and he welcomed him as xiaver went to sophie and began chatting whilst his mother began talking with the Queen. Then the doors once again flung open and the announcer began speaking "Your grace, lady Genevieve of jomsborg and her son, Vidar Malekith!" Said the announcer as Genevieve and vidar walked in the hall and everyone went silent as they watched and loki sighed... Genevieve was loki's ex wife and they haven't been on each other's good side.... ever since thier Last fight they've had they were separated and promised to never ever see each other under any circumstances ever again....
Genevieve and vidar walked up to the table and sat down across loki, loki looked at her disappointed. "Welcoke Genevieve.. we weren't expecting you....." said loki as Genevieve smiles abit. "Well we just started getting ready that one minute.. it was all so sudden" she said as the maid poured her and vidar some wine. "I see..." mumbled loki as vidar chugged on his wine. "And of course in these hard times we need to be together in order for the sacrifice to be more stronger. " she sipped on her wine as flora scoffed abit as she looked away smirking and thought 'yeah right...' Genevieve looked at flora with a slight serious expression. "And set aside our differences....." said Genevieve.
They all began talking as petra felt like someone was watching her and she turned and saw vidar looking at her, vidar smiled at her as she also smiled back and blushed looking away. after abit later loki stands up and it was time for the ceremony to begin. "the ceremony will begin now"
everyone looked at him and they also stood up and they followed loki to a big yard where there was a stage and alot of people were ghatered there. They walked in the yard seeing alot of people waiting and there was also a priestess wearing a white robe and next to her was a table and on the table was gold made bowl and loki' sword. the crowd went silent as the others walked in on the stage , loki sighed as he looked around "good folk.... as you know there has been an unkown disease in our planet...." everyone listened " and so on this day we'd like to make a sacrifice for the old gods and in hopes they might show us some mercy....."
everyone cheered abit as there was viseyna also in the crowd "Now..... it is for you to decide who will sacrifice themselves for thier people and be taken to Valhallah by the Valkyries and beg for thier mercy.." Loki said while smiling looking at the people as they talked. everyone looked at each other and a woman stepped out of the crowd looking up at loki.
"I'll do it!" Said a woman in the crowd and loki smiles at her " please come on the stage..."
the woman smiles back as she went up the stage "what is your name ?" Asked loki "my name is Torvi your grace " everyone looked at her " Torvi, are you willing to sacrifice yourself for the gods?... "
