I would like to thank my beta, Akisu, for his help in this chapter.

13th May 2013, Royal Palace Asgard

(Jasmine Sayre POV)

"Fear makes companions of us all. What you're going to do is very hard, and very scary. You're right to be afraid, but don't let it rule over you, remember why you're doing this, why you're prepared to risk everything for this, and you'll pull through."

Loki gave Thor and his mother a longing look, "Glorious purpose indeed."

I chuckled, but stayed silent to Loki, "Good luck, God of Mischief."

I waved my hand and opened a portal, and Loki stepped through it, "Morrigan!" he spoke up. I turned and looked at him, "If anything happens, if I don't make it. I just wanted to say thank you. You have helped me more than you realize, and for that, I will forever be grateful."

I nodded, "It was a pleasure, Loki."

"Yes, it was."

He turned around and left through the portal. It felt oddly final, but I guess he knew the risks of his gambit. As for me, I had an army to lead, and parasites to slay. I slowly walked towards my allies, and prepared myself for one of the most important conflicts in my life, hoping that everything would be alright.

13th May 2013, Realm of the Shadows

(Loki Odinson POV)

The King of the Shadows felt more like a reality manipulator in this realm. He shaped the world around him, trying to create shackles to bind Loki's creature, which seemed to ignore them outright. After all, one could not bind chaos itself.

Suddenly, the King released a beam of light bigger than anything Loki had ever seen before, striking the beast in the chest. The chaotic structure of the dragon was destabilized, and it looked like the dragon was dead for a second, only for Loki to rebuild the dragon again, stronger and bigger than it used to be.

The Shadows kept bombarding it with blasts of power that shook the entire realm, but the Dragon was unstoppable, indestructible, and they knew it. The only way to stop it would be to fix the breach in the realm, and the chaotic matter that remained, unconnected to the void, would have to stabilize according to the laws of the realm.

Loki held his iron control over his creature, giving it his complete focus, while the Shadows fought it, and the invasion started. His double stayed by the throne room with the remaining Shadow, who seemed unconcerned by the attack. He could understand it, after the raw fire power he saw the others of her kind send at his Dragon, it wouldn't take long for only one of them to kill Asgard's entire invading army. And that was them after being weakened by Rune King Thor. It was disturbing to imagine how powerful they would have been in their prime.

Still, it took about fifteen minutes for Asgard to fully breach the realm, and they sent only the Morrigan to the other side, while Thor and Odin remained in Svartalfheim. Leaving his Dragon on autopilot, the Morrigan walked confidently into the throne room and the Shadow spoke up with a mocking tone, "After all of this, they sent you? You're a Midgardian, you're mortal. You do realize that you have no chance here?"

The Morrigan raised an eyebrow, "Perhaps you are correct, and this is where I die. But perhaps, you are wrong and this is the end of your tyranny on the nine realms."

"We are the Gods of the Gods, human. We are so much above you, that it would take barely more than a thought to kill you. You cannot have any delusions of fighting me to a standstill."

The Morrigan shrugged, "As interesting as such a fight would be, it isn't needed. After all, all I needed was to distract you."

The Shadow didn't have enough time to consider what was said until Loki stabbed her with his death dagger from behind. The parasite gasped in shock until it let out a small scream of shock. It was distinctly feminine, unlike her previous neutral voice. Slowly, a light started to gather around the wound, until it consumed her, and she was destroyed with a scream.

The destruction destabilized his clone, but it didn't matter, his purpose was fulfilled. The Throne room was completely unguarded, and it was time for the Morrigan to finish her part of the plan. The loss was felt by the other Shadows as well, especially the King who screamed in fury letting out a giant blast of light that completely destabilized the dragon and even sent Loki flying back, without his invisibility.

The King of the Shadows immediately noticed the God of Mischief and glared at him. With a wave of his hand, he telekinetically sent Loki flying to a wall and kept him frozen.

Without Loki directing the chaos dragon, the dimensional breach started to close, making Loki's main method of attack useless. The God of Mischief gulped in fear as the towering King of the Shadows glared at him with hatred in his eyes, "YOU!!!!"
