Thor headed out of the building and they started down the rainbow bridge. At this point there was nowhere else they could take him but to Midgard, for Odin's word was law.

"Can you get us close to K'un-L'un?" She asked, not sure how the rainbow bridge worked.

Thor nodded and as they approached the end of the bridge he set Loki down gently and turned to Heimdrel, "We-"

"I am aware" the man with the golden eyes replied, already adjusting the magical device with his grand sword. He also gave Ceres a nod of respectful greeting.

Soon they were zooming through galaxies. Thor was carrying Loki so he was unable to keep Ceres stable upon their landing just outside K'un L'un. Their landing left a strange design in the earth, a ring of asgardian markings.

Ceres curistied to the man with golden eyes, thanking him.

They appeared right outside the city and were met with guards.

"Lower you weapons. These are my guests. Please, I must take him to the healing waters." Ceres explained. After a moment, they showed them in.

And within mins, Thor was lowering Loki into the water. Ceres removed her shoes and slipped into the water herself. The water turned light pink as Ceres moved her hands back and forth, the light shimmering back and forth. The water was warm and the smell Ceres' magic gave off was sweet and relaxing.

"He will be alright, Thor." Ceres said, focusing on the task before her, "His body is in shock... For how long, I can't say right now..."

Loki seemed to relax within the waters at least but still looked unwell. Thor stood nearby, watching with concern in his eyes, "Thank you Ceres" his voice was no longer loud and boisterous but surprisingly quiet, "I will repay you for this debt."

Ceres reached out and placed a hand on his ankle as he stood higher up then she, "There is no need." She said in a soft tone, a small smile on her face before she turned back to continue working on Loki. "You have already done so much for me. Your friendship is enough..."

Thor nodded to her gratefully before sitting down cross legged with his hammer planted on the ground next to him and patiently he waited. He would not leave Loki alone at such a time as this and it didn't seem like the trickster would be waking up anytime soon.

2 week went by as Ceres continued to heal the trauma in Loki's body. Although he had a healing factor, this was more of a spirtial wound, something his agardian blood could not heal.

Ceres had barely left the room, food and water were brought to them as well as rolls for them to sleep on. A few of the elderly women would take over for Ceres while she got a few hours sleep here and there but after she awoke and had something to eat, she insisted on taking over again.

Ceres stood over Loki, one hand under Loki's head, the other on his forehead. His head rested just below her softly glowing soul gem and in between her breasts. Her eyes closed and focused.

Thor meditated in silence on the side, but finally the silence was broken. "Hmm...? ... this is extremely comfortable" Loki commented as his eyes opened half way. Immediately he noticed her breast and couldn't help but grin slightly, "oh, that's why..."

Her dress was soaked, so I'm sure the view was even better than one could hope. Ceres' gem dimmed down and after a moment she looked down at him and a bit of a smile, "Hey. How are you feeling?" she asked softly.

Loki winced a little when her gem dimmed and he tried to sit up, "what? No, please don't stop, something's wrong"

Ceres resumed, "Better?" She asked, lowering him back into the water and positioning his head back against her.

"A bit..." he replied, though he still looked troubled, "something's still missing..."

Thor looked over from his quiet place against the wall. It was obvious what Loki felt was the hole where his magic had been. Ceres' magic was easing the pain of having it gone for now but clearly Loki's mind hadn't completely caught up to what had happened to him yet.

Ceres wasn't using as much magic as before. She looked over at Thor and then down at Loki, "Loki, can you recall what happened to you before you past out?"

Loki paused, thinking for a moment as he pieced things back together, "We were in Asgard... you convinced Odin to release me..." he sat up abruptly again, pulling away from Ceres in the water, "My magic! He took it!" he exclaimed as it came back to him, "no, he couldn't have" he looked to his hands, trying to summon up something even just a spark, an illusion of a spark, anything but it only emphasized the emptiness he felt in his chest and he gasped from the futile effort.
Loki pulled himself out of the water and stumbled to his feet. He couldn't even remove the damned water from his clothes, "It's gone... it's completely gone..."

"Brother, please, calm yourself" Thor stepped forward carefully.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Loki snapped at him, "How could you let him do this to me?! You just stood there and watched."

"Brother, please-" Thor tried to talk to him but Loki was livid. So livid in fact he actually threw a punch at the god of lightning but Thor easily caught both of Loki's fists in his hands. "Brother, you are still unwell" Thor tried to reason.

"You are no brother of mine" Loki growled, still trying to fight back but he had never been one for fists. It was merely all he had left.

"Loki." Ceres slipped out of the water and placed her hands on his back, "Please. Thor has never left your side since your father's ruling. Please, breath." She said gently.

"Do not touch me!" Loki turned on Ceres, throwing her from himself. He was still stronger than the average human though with his hair soaking wet and hanging about his face he was looking rather disheveled to say the least. "You let him as well" he spoke to Ceres as he backed away to the wall, "you let him take everything from me"

Ceres slowly got up off the floor, having slipped in some puddles of water. "I did what you asked Loki, I spoke with your father. I had no idea what he would do after heeding my counsel. I'm sorry. I know you're scared and confused. I will do everything I can to ease the pain you are feeling. Even if that means using the rest of this life and the next.... Please, for now, at least let me dry you off." She asked, holding a large lush towel in her hands and stood about a foot away from him, waiting for permission to advance

Loki felt himself shiver, was he actually cold? How long had he been in that water? He took a deep breath and let it out slowly as he tried to collect himself. Standing straight again he nodded to Ceres for her to come closer. She couldn't have known what Odin would do, that much was true. Even Loki hadn't seen it coming. This wasn't her fault he told himself a few times to calm down.

Thor wisely kept a larger distance, after all, Loki had other reasons for disliking him.

Ceres nodded and filled the gap between them. She undid his clothes and dried him off, and dressed him in a fresh pair of fancy green clothing she'd requested for him. She even brushed his hair, never saying a word. Though she did sneeze once of two, making sure to turn away from Loki when she did so.

Once Loki looked presentable and was warm in a fresh set of clothes Ceres walked over to a set that had been put out for her. She stumbled a few steps, grabbing hold of the wall to balance herself. "I'm alright." She said when she saw Thor taking a step toward her.

Without looking at either of them, Ceres' soaking wet dress smacked the floor with an echoing sound. She reached down for the towel beside her clothes.

Thor looked away to give Ceres a little privacy while Loki already seemed lost in another world. He hadn't spoken another word, to be honest he wasn't even sure if this was real. The new clothes felt foreign and strange, they were lighter than the leathers and strongly woven fibers he was used to. As flimsy as the mortals themselves came to mind.

Perhaps it was just a dream or rather a nightmare more accurately. With any luck he would awaken in that stupid white cell. Who would have thought that he would prefer that place to this? Maybe Odin would grant him his previous sentence again? No, not likely, the great Odin All Father did not change his mind lightly. It had taken a goddess and a miracle to change it to this and nothing better came to mind.

He could take one of those back routes to another realm, make his way back to Asgard and steal his magic back, but that was more ridiculous than it sounded. All of those secret routes were secret for a reason. They were extremely difficult to get to and that was with Magic. Not to mention how would he possibly get close enough to Odin without some major spells...
It was impossible.

The more Loki thought and thought about it the more despair he felt and soon he was sitting on the floor with his head hanging in loss.

When Ceres finished changing, Thor stepped towards her with a whisper, "I have never seen him as such" he looked worried, "I do not know what he might resort to like this."

"A part of who he is has been ripped from him. He's surely trying to think of ways to reclaim what has been taken from him." She spoke softly, wiping her face." This will be hard for him to adjust to. For now, we must do all we can to make sure he does not hurt himself and be as supportive as we can be, no matter how mad or frustrated he gets.

Ceres walked over to Loki and knelt before him, using a humble and gently "Forgive the dullness of those clothes, I haven't had time to find you something more suitable to your standards. I will send word out for the finest tailor shortly. Are you hungry? The banquet hall is always filled with the world's most exotic treats."

Loki gave a half hearted laugh, "There is nothing exotic about this world. I am not hungry." he replied, "Just... leave me."

"This is the magical capital of Migard, when I said worlds I mean worlds, not just here. But, I understand." She got up, "May I at least escort you to a more comfortable room?" She asked holding her hand. Her face was very pale and her body was screaming at her to lay down but Loki came first.

And the healing waters cavern was not such a good place to rest.

Loki looked up at her, "You look unwell Ceres. You should rest. I am fine right here." he lowered his gaze again only to find it fall upon Thor, "And you... You should run back to daddy before I figure out a way to snap your neck."

Thor sighed but didn't respond. He wasn't going to pick a fight with Loki at the moment it was really just... too sad. Instead the god of lightning walked over to Ceres and gestured to the exit, "Perhaps it is best if we leave him alone."
