“Look at my legacy, Algrim. I barely remember the time before light.”
“Our survival will be your legacy.”
“The Asgardians will suffer as we have suffered. I will reclaim the Aether. I will restore our world and I’ll put an end to this poisonous world.”
Granted the exhausting day and night she had gone through, Trixie slept until half the next day was over. Luna let her sleep while guiding her dreams to be as peaceful and far from her own dark past as they could. Instead, Luna played memories concerning the warmer moments shared between them.
This constant comfort of her sleeping daughter was interrupted with a quick series of knocks on the door. Trixie instantly stirred from her sleep, her ears perking up softly at the noise while Luna exited the dreamscape with a snarl on her face.
Luna did not particularly care for being interrupted, nor did she want to be taken from Trixie’s side.
“Oh what is it now?” she muttered under her breath, drawing out a small chuckle from the good spirited Trixie who still had yet to open her eyes and move from beneath Luna’s sheets.
Luna gently rose so as to not disturb the awake yet still resting Trixie. Stretching her long limbs out and flapping her wings once, Nightmare Moon went over to greet whatever unfortunate soul had knocked.
Luna opened the door and looked down with scrutiny only to find the Asgardian duo of Volstagg and Fandral standing before her, the former kneeling down at the sight of her and the other bowing and speaking, “Sorry for disturbing you my lady, but Lady Frigga is requesting your presence at Asgard.”
Luna’s ears perked up greatly at that, and she grew very excited at the prospect of Frigga needing her for something. Very excited, in fact, as that could only mean one thing to Luna.
“Has Loki awoken?”
The two warriors exchanged a nervous glance before Volstagg gave a hesitant nod, “Yes, though Lady Frigga does not seem to think it’s the right one,” Luna’s instant look of confusion and deflation spurred him to continue, “We can explain more, but Lady Frigga asked you come post haste.”
Luna was not quite sure she even should go if it did not have to do with Loki. Trixie would not likely be fine on her own, and leaving her would be quite like abandoning her…it would not help matters at all.
Still, Luna trusted Lady Frigga to only call for her when absolutely needed. That meant that it might be best for Trixie to instead come with her instead of stay behind.
Luna turned her head back toward the bed, “Trixie, are you okay with coming to Asgard again?”
Trixie lazily rolled out of the bed, dragging a blanket down with her. After a moment of stillness she gave a yawning, “Sure,” and proceeded to get up. She summoned her hat and cape to her side, Luna having removed them during the night and also having had them repaired by a tailor.
As Trixie placed the items on, Luna turned back to the men in the doorway, “Come, let us go.”
Trixie was less groggy from the Equestria Games and her experience with her birth mother by the time they reached Asgard, even managing to cower in fear at the sight of Asgard’s guardian Heimdall. He only nodded as the four returned to Asgard, allowing them to pass him and enter.
Once Luna and the others reached the castle they approached the throne room to find Frigga, only to find instead Odin leaving it and no Frigga in sight. With this being the case, Luna decided to confront the Allfather alone and question him concerning the matter.
With a nod of the head she dismissed Volstagg and Fandral, “Take her to Loki’s chamber and set her up there.”
Fandral bowed as he took his exit, “As you wish,” as he turned he waved a hand for Trixie to follow him and his ostentatious goatee, “Come now, Trixie! I’ll show you all of the greatest sights of the castle on the way.”
“The ones that haven’t been destroyed, you mean,” Volstagg joked, “At least the main hall remains intact. We couldn’t be without some good meat, now could we?”
“I’m a vegetarian...” Trixie commented as she too left Luna, accepting that she was going to be in the company of these merry buffoons for the time being.
Luna had to run for a moment in her Asgardian form to catch up to Odin, who was walking furiously away from the throne room, “Allfather, where is Lady Frigga?”
He did not break step or slow down as she approached him, his guards giving her a begrudging look as she did so, “She is busy handling the imposter returned to us in Loki’s stead,” he only took a second to look back at her before turning back forward with his one eye, “You may meet with her when she is finished. For now, you are free to accompany me as I accost my derelict son.”
Seeing as Luna had little else to do and would love to hear Odin show a harsher side to Thor (given the elder son’s favored status), Luna nodded once and fell into pace alongside the golden armored Allfather with her own indigo armor shimmering beside his.
“I think I just may.”
When they arrived at their destination, the healing chambers of all places, Luna let Odin stalk forward with anger towards Thor. She decided to hang back and lean against one wall as she watched, not wanting to interrupt the tirade that was about to happen just yet.
“My words are mere noises to you that you ignore them completely?” Odin complained as he looked at Thor, who was standing by a medical observation table where a seemingly normal Midgardian was being inspected.
Thor turned to his father with a grim expression, “She’s ill, and mother allowed it—”
Frigga’s permission did not halt Odin’s fury, and the Allfather did not seem to particularly approve of Thor’s lover, “Yet this woman is mortal. Illness is their defining trait. Have you forgotten that in your time among them?”
This made Luna snort and speak up, wholly amused at the scene, “I am in agreement. I do not remember the last time I fell ill like mortals tend to do every other week.”
Thor sent a look to Luna before ignoring her in favor of responding to Odin, “I brought her here so we can help her. What is so wrong with that?”
His response does little to humor Odin, who scoffs at the idea, “She does not belong here in Asgard any more than a goat belongs at a banquet table.”
The woman on the medical table sits up with a very indignant face, “Did he just—” she turned to face Odin with a shocked expression, “Who do you think you are?”
Unlike Thor’s responses, this does seem to lighten Odin’s mood slightly, if only because he is mocking as he says, “I am Odin. King of Asgard. Protector of the Nine Realms.”
Luna has to stop herself from breaking down in laughter at the utter shock and humiliation reflected now in the woman’s face, as her rhetorical question was met and trumped by reality.
She tries to save some grace, but does not get far, “Oh. Well I’m—”
Odin cuts her off, his voice confident as he states, “I know very well who you are. Jane Foster.”
This draws Luna’s attention, as until now she has only heard of this so called ‘Jane’. Looking at her did little to impress the princess though, as a skinny and short woman with no real power was of no interest to Luna, “So you are Thor’s Midgardian lover. You are far punier than I expected. I’m sure he likes you for your personality.”
Just like with Odin, Jane took offense at being mocked by someone she did not even know, “And just who are you? I get him insulting me, but I don’t even know you.”
Luna gave a mocking curtsy, snickering the entire time, “I am Luna. Princess of Equestria, Jotunheim, and Asgard. I am Loki’s lover.”
“Enough, this is not some verbal contest,” Odin interrupted once more before resuming his questioning, “What is she doing here despite my orders to the contrary? We spoke of this many times these past months.”
“Something’s within her father. Something I have not seen before.”
“An unborn child?” Luna snarked, tilting her head back to laugh at her own joke while the others in the room only glared at her.
“Leave his accosting to me, outsider,” Odin warned before turning back to face his son, “Her world has its healers, they’re called doctors, let them deal with it,” he paused to beckon the guards that had followed them, “Guards! Take her back to Midgard!
The guards approach Jane, but Thor steps forward to try and stop them.
“No I wouldn’t—”
A burst of dark magic rips emits from Jane’s body and knocks the men back, completely flooring them and surprising everyone else still standing whose name was not Thor.
Luna gasped as she noticed magic not wholly unlike her own. Instead of a dark color mixed with green though, this was dark mixed with red. The feeling it gave off felt quite familiar to Luna, and suddenly the unknown thing Thor mentioned before became wholly more interesting to Luna than the woman it was possessing.
“—touch her,” Thor finished a moment too late. Despite the dazed nature of the guards, Thor instead took interest in the condition of his lover, “Jane, are you alright?”
Odin steps forward and runs his hand over Jane's arm. As he does so, her skin glows red.
“It’s impossible,” Odin mutters to himself.
Luna narrowed her eyes as she observed Jane, hoping to see if any traces of the magic lingered but finding none, “Just what was that? Is what has infected her defending her?”
“No. It’s defending itself,” Thor stated grimly, his face revealing his worry about Jane.
Odin turned to leave, expecting the others to follow behind him, “Come with me.”
Luna did not budge, instead pointing a thumb in a different direction, “I would much rather meet with Lady Frigga. You can have fun with whatever dangerous disease that is. My stomach was upset already yesterday, so that is about as close to sick as I want to get.”
Odin stopped and turned back, “You need to hear this as well. We will need your magical knowledge in this matter.”
Luna opened her mouth to complain, but the sight of a familiar Asgardian healer caught her eye and so she stopped the complaint hanging in her throat.
“Fine, but where will you be? I have something to inquire about first.”
“The library. I trust you have visited it?”
Luna shrugged. She spent most of her time in Asgard with Loki in his room, so she was not exactly an expert of each and every room, but she surely had been in it and could teleport there, “Briefly, though I may spend some time there in the future. Now, I will join you shortly, so go have fun walking.”
With this, Odin departed with his son and Jane, while Luna stayed back to talk with the person she noticed in the room.
The person in question was Eir, the Asgardian who helped Luna alongside Frigga when they were observing her instead of Jane, and also the person Luna entrusted a certain foreigner with, “Eir, what is the condition of that Elf that I left in your care?”
Eir smiled to Luna as the princess took note of her, the medical expert approaching her as she responded warmly, “He is awake, though after a brief bout of insane rambling of what appears to be past memories, he has settled down into a sane state of amnesia.”
Luna was surprised to hear that things had gone so well in terms of restoring him to normal, since that’s what it was sounding like they did, “What did you do to him?”
“We did the same process we did to you to remove that dark energy, though we have refined it more. The energy drain he was suffering from stemmed from tainted magic that made his body burn through all of the rest he possessed, so by removing the tainted magic we have returned him to a normal level of being.”
Luna nodded as she mulled over the information. Because he no longer appeared insane, and thus dangerous, perhaps they could use him as more than a rabid attack dog, “And what of his magical prowess now?”
Eir shook her head sorrowfully, “He likely is no better than a child at magic now. An aftereffect of his condition, though we cannot know for certain if he can or can not regain his previous potential. The only traces of magic left in him are not even natural to him, but rather are belonging to your student and that witch he drained.”
Just because they could use him for more did not mean that Luna did not still appreciate his ability to drain a witch’s magic if need be, “Can he still drain magic at least?”
“No, that seemingly was lost when we did the treatment. It likely was a side effect of his body’s constant burning off of magic.”
“Well, at least he is no longer dangerous to us,” Luna brought a hand to her chin as she finished considering his usefulness, “But he also is no longer useful, at least in how he’s been used thus far.”
Eir only nodded, leaving Luna to think another moment. The silence in the room gave time for Luna to remember something important, at which point she spoke up again.
“The Elf is awake, correct?” Luna smiled to Eir as she hatched a brilliant plan, “Send him to Loki’s chambers, where my student is staying. She could perhaps learn something from him given the differences in their magic.”
Eir bowed her head before turning to go do as she was told, “Of course, your highness.”
Trixie, Luna reckoned, could use the company. She had no real friends currently, so maybe this could turn out for the best. She would undoubtedly need more than one emotional support to get over the reveal of her own past.
Luna managed to get to the library before Odin and the others because of the utilization of her teleportation. She greeted them with a nod when they arrived, but she did not join them or draw too close. She was there to listen, and did not care to really talk with the mortal or either of the men, even if she did have a respect of sorts for Thor outside of the family dynamics.
Odin begins to narrate to both Thor and Jane, while meanwhile Luna closes her eyes to focus on listening, “There are relics that predate the universe itself. What lies within her appears to be one of them. The Nine Realms are not eternal. They had a dawn, as they will have a dusk. But before that dawn the dark forces, the Dark Elves, reigned absolute and unchallenged.”
Thor is the next to speak up, his voice slow as if he was quoting someone, “‘Before the eternal night, the Dark Elves come to steal away your light.’ These were the stories mother told to us as children.”
Us. That made Luna cringe slightly as she realized that meant him and Loki. How things must have been different those many years ago.
Odin resumes his narration, “Their leader, Malekith, made a weapon out of that darkness, it was called the Aether. While the other relics often appear as stones, the Aether is fluid, and ever changing. It changes matter into dark matter, and seeks out host bodies, drawing strength from their life force. Malekith sought to use the Aether’s power to return the universe to one of darkness. But, after eternities of bloodshed, my father Bor finally triumphed; ushering in a peace that lasted thousands of years.”
“What happened?” Jane asks innocently. Luna snorts, already knowing the answer out of her experience in the political world.
“He killed them all,” Odin responded simply.
Luna was not exactly about to let Jane’s naiveté get off the hook, so she spoke up, “Exactly as he should have. To sacrifice one race for the existence of every other is just simple math.”
The more idealistic but less experienced Thor spoke up next, “They are always alternatives, but are you certain, Father? The Aether was said to have been destroyed with them, and yet here it is.”
“The Dark Elves are dead,” Odin affirms strongly, though the mention of the species brings to mind the Elf that was to be in Loki’s room with Trixie. Luna doubted they had any relation beyond the name of their races, but that might not stop him from being questioned concerning the matter.
“Does your book happen to mention how to get it out of me?” Jane asks Odin in an almost pleading voice. Luna could tell that Jane most certainly did not want a dark, dangerous, and powerful force inside of her, something she and Luna had in common.
“No. It does not,” Odin replies cryptically.
Luna opens her eyes and approaches the group so that she can actually engage them instead of give snarky commentary, “Ominous, but I have a very quick solution for you. You’ll be on your way back to Midgard before the day is out.”
Odin turns to her with actual interest, his face surprised that this foreigner may know something, “Speak what you know, outsider.”
His interest brought a smile to Luna’s face, as this was something she actually had a good idea for. Dark magic was dark magic after all, even if one shined red and one shined green, “Your wife tried taking the dark energy in my body out through an arcane method she studied. I hear that a more extreme version has been used on an Elf I left here in your captivity to remove damaging energy from him. Apply the same process to this Midgardian here and remove the Aether from her system.”
This news brings looks of both surprise and joy to Jane and Thor, while bringing a smug smile to Odin’s own face. This was great news to him as it not only proved that this foreign princess was worthy of his smart son, but also a way of him removing the less desirable woman from Asgard by curing her and then sending her on her way, “I will have Frigga contemplate the matter, but you may just have the right idea about how to solve this issue the Midgardian faces.”
“Don’t you just love how they talk like I’m not here?” Jane whispers to Thor, only to still be heard by the advanced beings she was speaking about entirely.
Luna beats Odin to responding with a smug grin, “I do, and will continue to do so until you have proven yourself to be more than a low class wench trying to poach herself a prince.”
Luna’s tendency to speak her mind and see things in a based manner did not sit well with the offended party, as well as her lover who instantly moved forward to confront her, “Lady Luna, you will not—”
Odin’s snort of laughter halts Thor in his tracks, “I had not thought of things that way before, but this is a matter to discuss after we have handled the Aether. Go your separate ways for now as we await Frigga’s return.”
Thor takes Jane by the hand roughly to bring her out of the library, leaving Luna with Odin. Luna nods to him before teleporting away, not having any particular reason to stay with him when she could be tending to the emotionally unstable Trixie.
Upon teleporting into Loki’s room Luna was surprised to find herself ducking as Trixie leapt over her. The Unicorn kept going after jumping over Luna, running across the large bedroom away from what Luna realized was the Elf she ordered to be sent to this room.
“Trixie, what is going on here?” Luna questioned as she watched her apprentice continue her gallop away from the pursuing Elf, who did not appear malicious in his chase but rather amused as he ran after her.
Trixie seemed to realize Luna was there just as Luna spoke, her mind previously having been solely focused on escaping the Elf running after her. Her voice was panicked and high pitched as she continued to run away, “Ahhh, Princess Luna! Princess Luna! This Elf just came, and get it away from me! Send it to the moon!”
Luna could not believe this.
“Trixie.”
Trixie knocked Loki’s reading table over, the structure and its books joining many other pieces of furniture on the ground. Luna let out an exasperated sigh as the Elf tripped over them, only to then keep chasing.
“Bloody Elf, go away!” Trixie yelled as she kept running.
Luna could tell that Trixie had spent no time understanding or inquiring about this Elf was no longer a possible threat. She was running away and screaming for her life for no reason, though Luna could at least tell that it was semi-playful on Trixie’s part. Trixie wasn’t teleporting after all, so something else must have happened when Luna was not there to prevent this from being a full on real panic.
“Trixie.”
This time Trixie knocked over a chair, which in turn hit Luna’s leg. That was about the time when Luna decided to end this farce of a chase.
“Trixie!”
Trixie came crashing to a halt, stopping almost on a dime right before hitting the wall. This did not stop the Elf from not getting the memo in time and then tripping over Trixie to find himself with his face planted against the wall.
Trixie jumped away from him but otherwise remained still as he worked on gathering himself. Luna seized this moment to speak up in both amusement and annoyance.
“He can’t steal your magic.”
Trixie titled her head in confusion, “Wait, he can’t?” Trixie abruptly turned towards the Elf and jabbed a hoof in his direction while yelling, “Then why have you been chasing me, Absy?!”
Now less dazed from his collision, the Elf bowed halfway over to Trixie, “I live to serve, Mistress Trixie. I am Prince Kael’Thas of the High Elves…and that is about all I know.”
Trixie grumbled about him having his own name for a moment before grumbling more intelligibly, “You could have just said that to begin with!” Trixie waved her hoof around to point at the very disheveled room, “Now just look at what you made the Great and Powerful Trixie do.”
“My apologies, Mistress. I only wished to touch your magnificent coat in its infinite sheen, though I will refrain from doing so from now on, Mistress.”
Trixie and Luna both rose an eyebrow at that, though Luna let her student and daughter speak up about the matter, “Why are you calling me that? You’re not wearing the mind control saddle vest I made for you.”
Kael’Thas frowned as he tried to think, his glowing eyes making it semi-difficult for Trixie to read his emotions, “You feel…” he struggled to find a word before he just gave up and shrugged, “Well, familiar. And when one cannot remember, they cling to what feels right.”
Luna decided to interject, as a theory crossed her mind about the Elf considering Trixie to be familiar, “Trixie, if I may,” she turned to the Elf and snapped her fingers, “Elf, summon forth your magic but do not do anything with it.”
Kael turned to Trixie to confirm if he should or should not do this, but Trixie nodded wordlessly for him to do so. She was interested to see what Princess Luna was thinking about the Elf.
In a flash, Kael’Thas summoned forth an aura of magic around his hand. The fact he could summon this very small amount of magic did not interest Luna, but rather the color of it did very much. She had no idea what color it had been originally, but she had a feeling that if anything it wasn’t this particular shade of purple too much before.
Trixie recognized the color as well and her jaw dropped, “Wait, that’s the color my magic was!” she leapt forward and started pawing up at his hand with her front hooves, “You still have it, give it back!”
Luna called out to her student to stop her from her silly attempt to take her power back, “Hold on Trixie. I think with all of the chaos and energies that have influenced him recently, some wires may have been crossed,” Luna coughed nervously as she remembered a certain detail, “Eir said that your magic and Lorelei’s are all that remain in him…”
Trixie’s face froze as she thought about what her teacher just said. If what Luna was saying was true, then…
“Wait, so the gross pervert, whose magic has to do with manipulating men through their affection, and I are both influencing him?” Luna nodded to Trixie’s question, causing her student to yell, “Ewwww! Elf, stop calling me mistress and trying to serve me at once!”
Kael’Thas kneeled down and shook his head no sorrowfully, “I am afraid I cannot, mistress.”
Trixie frowned at him while tapping his forehead with a hoof, “Because your head is screwed up?”
His sorrowful appearance turned instead into a playful smile, “No, out of choice.”
Trixie turned to Luna with another frown, “You sure he’s okay in the head now? The doctor who dropped him off said so before leaving me with him, but I’m not so sure.”
Luna sighed, not having expected this particular complication, “Trixie, try not to make too much of it. You have a devoted follower it seems. Try not to take it for granted,” she grew her own frown as another fact about the semi-crazy Elf came to mind, “Too bad he is as good at magic now as a filly.”
Luna’s words actually brought out a very curious side of Trixie, and her student moved her hoof from Kael’s forehead to her own chin, “Hmmm…”
After a moment of mental deliberation, Trixie announced in a loud voice, “From here on out, Kael’Thas of the High Elves, you shall be my apprentice in all things magic! Your duties shall be listening to your teacher, feeding her, and grooming her fantastic hair. This list may also be altered whenever I please. However, I will do my best to support you and help you, and I promise to help you accomplish whatever goals you set forth.”
He continued his kneeling bow to her, not seeming at all opposed to this arrangement, “Of course, mistress. I will do my best, and it is my desire to see that you accomplish what you wishes as well.”
Luna found herself amused by how the affection magic mixed with Trixie’s own life force and magic caused an infatuation of the Elf with Trixie herself. She could not complain about the results though, since this now meant that they had another tool in their arsenal, and this one had the title of Prince attached to it.
Trixie continued her decree with the same gusto, “In return, I will learn whatever magic I can from you, so you shall be my teacher in a way too. We will be equal partners who help and support eachother in magic so as to promote a fair learning environment.”
It was quite difficult for Luna to stop herself form commenting on how this was not how one generally goes about making friends, but she managed to for Trixie's sake. She could definitely use a friend, even if she would treat them like a servant, student, and teacher as well. Trixie couldn't just have anything be too simple except for her diet.
Little did Trixie know that was the specific reason Luna had the Elf brought there to begin with, “I was just going to suggest that,” Luna cleared her throat as she realized she was still standing amidst a very messy room, “Now, Loki will not be happy if this room is a mess when he returns, so I would restore it to its previous state when you two are done ‘learning’.”
That brought a nervous chuckle out of Trixie, “Of course,” seeking to find a way to not have to clean the room right away, Trixie tried to make herself sound useful, “Is there anything you need me to take care of in the meantime? What do they require us here for anyways?”
“I have not spoken with Lady Frigga yet, so I am not quite sure, but soon enough we will know. I think it has something to do with a magical source of energy known as the Aether, but we will have to wait and see,” Luna prepared herself to teleport, but made one last note before doing so, “Now, I am going to go see if Frigga is ready to talk. You make sure this room is clean by the time I get back, okay?”
“Of course!” Trixie chirped, and so Luna took that as a promise.
As Luna teleported away to find Frigga, she could swear she heard:
“I think she meant you clean, Mistress, not me.”
“Of all the ways to end a journey…”
A portal between Asgard and Lady Death’s Hel stood before Loki. This was it. He could be home in a moment.
Too bad a tall, broad, mean, purple giant stood in-between him and it.
“I haven’t seen you in awhile, Thanos. How are you doing? Have the Infinity Gems been treating you nicely?”
Thanos snorted at Loki as the Asgardian slowly walked towards him, “Yes, including the one you failed to retrieve for me.”
That brought back memories. Old memories for Loki, who had much distance from the incident Thanos referred to, “Ahhh, still sour about that.”
Thanos did not seem to be as willing to joke around as Loki, keeping a grim façade as Loki approached him at a snail’s pace, “I do not know why Lady Death has called for me to be here, but if you think you can just leave through this portal you are mistaken.”
“Seeing as how she grants me my magic, I cannot just teleport past you. It seems she wants to see us fight,” Loki revealed. It was an annoying fact, but a fact nonetheless. He had no more magic, but his daughter could supply him with an endless supply when she deemed him worthy of it.
He had to rely on other skills to get this far in this Hel though, and it was with those skills that he was ready to do battle even if he knew the outcome already, “So, let’s give her a good show, shall we?”
A/N: Suggested watching: Thor The Dark World, because it is that time, people! Can't wait to continue this, and hope you all give Luna some leeway concerning her treatment of Jane since she has no reason (besides Thor's opinion, which is not worth much given his lack of intelligence) to trust Jane yet or see her as anything but a random mortal who is leeching off Thor.
Can't wait to hear from you all, so please leave your thoughts in the comments below, as they are seriously what helps me write so much!

Well this will be interesting.
Wait a second...
If Thonas does manage to win Lady Death's heart, that would make him Loki and Luna's son in law... right?
That would be one awkward family dinner table
I hope you won't lean too much on the movie.
I'm glad I've been watching practically all the avengers movies for the past week!

MY only problem with that is Thanos is a creepy stalker. Death summoned her dad to beat him up. Maybe shes more normal then we give her credit for.
Not much to say on this chapter... Kinda creeped out on the Kael x Trixie but well have to wait and see how that goes.
Im left wondering though, the Aether is a power very similar to the Nightmare power at least in origin. And since the dark elves were also seeking Eternal Night I have a very suspicious feeling this will be incorporated into the story. Very dark and lonely there in the void between realms, I could see a young Luna, lonely for affection staring out into the realms. And then finding one shrinking spot of darkness, calling out to it and surprised that it answered.
Okay, nitpicking here but I'm pretty sure you kept changing tenses in this chapter or at least perspective....
Good writing as always though and you will be please to here that no tables are currently flipped

The Aether is strongly implied (or even confirmed) to be the Reality Gem so it has absolutely nothing to do with the Nightmare powers that possessed Luna and the Dark Elves are not trying to usher in Eternal Night but to uncreate reality to return to the primordial darkness that was before everything so that's quite a different scale here.
(The other gems are, The Tesseract: Space, Lokis Scepter: Mind, and the orb from Guardians of the Galaxy: Power, the Mind gem will probably feature in the Doctor Strange movie and the Time gem in the Guardians of the galaxy sequel)
And if this is the Marvel Lady Death then we all know that the one who has her hearth is a certain Merc with a Mouth even if they cant really be together due to Thanos cursing him with eternal Life because he was jealous. And if not, well nearly everything can be made better by applying limited doses of Deadpool (not too much because that derails most stories).
The whole Kael and Trixie thing is going to be either really great or end in a terrible disaster considering that Kael was one of the most powerful spellcasters on Azeroth and later Outland and that was before he started guzzling down all the raw energy of the Twisting Nether, after that it went pretty steep downhill as he was only brought back by the Legion so they had someone to lead the Fel elves and to summon all those deamons and to open the way for KJ before he got flushed down the sunwell.
Also Luna dissing Jane because shes not of royal heritage is hilarious, we generally need more interaction of Luna with the puny earthlings! She kind of thought Coulson was a cool guy right? And she should definitely go and drink Tony under a table while asking about pony sized power armor because why not?
And i kind of doubt the Aether could be that easily removed from Jane due to it being one of the reality gems.

Well the Aether was used and given purpose by the dark elves, and all they wanted was the destruction of all light in the universe. How is that any different form Nightmare moon and "The Night Will Last FOREVER!!!!" Also Luna mentions the Nightmare's power is green. Whos to say it isn't a gem of some kind, The powers and colors in the movies don't exactly like up with the comics, and we are interjecting Elements of Ponies and referencing World of Warcraft. So depending on your source things will be different.
Also Deadpool is best suitor.
I think Nightmare is just being a petty bitch, there is no need for her to act condescending towards the very short lived mortal. Its like falling in love with an ice sculpture, it won't see the summer, why not let Thor have his dalliance. If anything Odin was just pissed that he was going to have to console his son when his pet died. Its why Gods seem like assholes because any mortal the get to know will just die in a few decades. THe only reason Celestia and Luna are so Hooves on is they don't have a large Pantheon to get absorbed in. Luna was just letting her dislike for Thor bleed out onto Jane. Mock and berate the poor mortal only because she chooses to associate with Her Lovers Brother. And by extension mock Thor for being so foolish, much like her sister in choosing Discord.
5103682 Well I certainly hope so
5104067 That would be awkward, but I don’t think Lady Death’s interested. She’s messing with him like she does everyone else
5104363 Don’t worry, things are going to derail instantly after the original invasion
5104473 It indeed is here, though your knowledge may only help on some levels. After all, if things went 100% the same as the movie there is no need for me to write this part of the story
5104879 Thanos is indeed a creepy stalker who kills millions to try and please Lady Death. It doesn’t generally work, and it isn’t doing so here.
However, I think she more summoned Thanos to beat Loki up, given that Thanos could demolish Loki before and has received two powerful artifacts since then to power himself up. 
At the same time though, we can assume she’ll enjoy whatever damage Loki CAN inflict on Thanos…
It’s meant to be a lil’ creepy, since the reason he’s so devoted is that his brain has been screwed up so badly over the years. The prince of the Blood Elves can’t catch a break
Someone mentioned that Lorelei’s magic might effect Kael’Thas, and this is what we got as a result of the witch. At least Trixie has a servant/student now of her own, and it most certainly ends there on her part 
I’ve been planning this though for quite some bit, since I’ve had Trixie quoting Kael’Thas since the chapters in the 20’s 
There is a relation of Luna’s power and the Aether, though it will play a different part than you expect
You’ll see soon enough.
5105301
I was tired, and drawing directly from the movie’s script so I may have misused some tenses where that was involved.
And you have yet to get to the table flipping part. One to three chapters away in my estimation.
And while we’re being nitpicky, the word you meant to use was “pleased” and also “hear”, not “please” and “here”.
5105884 It has nothing directly to do with them, but its energy is of the same type as their own (only they are like flies in comparison to it). Dark magic is dark magic here
So no, no direct relation, but there is a link to be found there.
This is Hela fused with Lady Death, as their characters partially overlap, so it is wholly different from either of the originals while containing some traits of each. This being said, I will not be using Deadpool as I personally do not like him and he does not fit the tone of this story, nor would Loki allow someone that insane that he could actually take in a fight be with his daughter. Besides, we have a resident crazy character (well, 1.5 given that Kael is a little loopy at the moment) and that character already IS Hela, so things would get too crazy if Deadpool came in.
Very apt description about Kael
He could A) remain on the hero side and be a powerful ally after he has recovered from everything that has happened to him, or B) go crazy Crack Elf again and destroy everything on a scale greater than Malekith could even hope to. 
At least he’ll have Trixie to keep him in line, and one could always slap the saddle back on him if he gets out of line. Let’s hope she treats him better than Jaina…(who now, by chance, is racist against elves)
Luna is distrusting of everyone, so some random mortal being with Thor does not sit right with Luna. And given that she knows nothing about Jane, Jane will have to earn her keep or prove herself in some way before Luna quiets her snarking down. Luna should watch her mouth though, because one of her jokes is going to be sick irony…
And yes, Luna thought Coulson was a cool guy, and she’ll be happy to learn that he’s actually alive because of Agents of Shield. She got pissed when Loki killed him off
As for Stark, we’ll be getting him soon enough, don’t worry. I’m going to be correcting a mistake of the movie soon enough 
The Aether doesn’t like people touching it/Jane, but it also likes finding new hosts whose life energy it can have some fun with
5105976 You guys will see the connection. It's not too major or too minor, but there is one. No use arguing over it
Deadpool is not best suitor, as there is no Deadpool
Besides, it's Hela more than it is Lady Death.
Nightmare is distrustful of an unknown person who is courting someone of a far greater class than her. And beyond that she is just ragging on her and Thor because, like Odin (and Loki in the movie), she thinks it is foolish for Thor to get into a relationship that will only end in inevitable heartbreak. Mocking it playfully now, with deeper meaning to the snark. So she has her reasons, and her ragging on Jane is more distrust of Jane and dislike of Thor's foolishness rather than a testament to her disliking Thor. She likes Thor fine and they get along, but she does dislike how Odin favors him and does dislike his foolishness (a trait she dislikes in anything).
And she doesn't like Celestia being with Discord because Discord is as chaotic as Loki and then some, with far greater power to ruin things and cause her sister misery. That's sisterly love
5106018
But thats why her being distrustful of the human seems strange to me. Why would she be distrustful of a dog, or a cat for showing affection for its owner. Jane didn't seduce Thor. Thor fell for her, so picking on the Human just feels petty. But Its Luna's Dislike for her sister's suitor that makes me think that she is really just trying to drive off the human, to spare the family any unnecessary heartache.
Also its Ok about Deadpool. Hes like Schrodinger's cat, both he exists and does not exist at the same time. The only way to end him is to Will him into existence then kill him. but since he cant die its futile effort.
5105985 Awww
Just like her dear old dad. I am sure Loki would be proud of her if things were not so messed up.
5105991 In this version Luna, Loki and Trixie could probably stop everything before anything really bad happens!
Plus they could probably save Frigga this time
5105994 I was tired when I read and commented i.e around 1am
I get the odd feeling that we listen to the same music when i look at the chapter titles.....
5106058 Luna did not watch Thor 1. All she knows is that Thor has a human lover, and that raises many complications. For all Luna knows, Jane MAY HAVE seduced Thor. Luna doesn't know since she isn't omniscient, nor does she have the ability to watch the movies like we have. Jane right now is an anomaly, so Luna has an issue.
And she does not think SO lowly of humans to consider them like cats or dogs. Simply a point between Alicorns/Asgardians and other lesser animals. So she thinks highly enough of Jane to believe her to be a scheming woman, but not enough of her to consider her an actual match for Thor.
5106063 Yes, just like her dad, but infinitely more malicious
And he might be proud that she is a fellow Troll, but it comes at his own expense
5107189 Hahaha, yeah, they have extra allies this time...but they also don't have 80% of the palace forces that BARELY fought off the Dark Elves in the movie. They're fighting at 20% strength at best, with Luna, Trixie, and possibly Loki being all they have gained otherwise.
Things are going to go SO much better
5107372 I was tired when I was writing too, so we'll call it even
So, thoughts on how things are going to go down?
5107467 Well, at a certain point in the story I began pointing out the specific songs, so you can check all the A/N's for songs you may have listened to before
5107569
She judges her purely on no known facts about her but the one fact that she knows, (that shes a lowly common mortal) gets a pass... 
So she cares who Thor dates, but not enough to hear how they met.
Well not a pass, just enough to know that Jane is probably a common strumpet that got Thor by spreading her legs, even though Thor could probably get all that and more in Asgard or any number of realms. I still think Luna is only projecting on to Jane her frustrations over Discord and her Sister.
5107579 No one likes to be the victim
5107579 Also, I wonder if Loki's horse son will make an apperance
Trixie got herself a new servant/apprentice/teacher/friend in one memory wiped elf prince, things just keep on getting more and more interesting with them. There is just no love for the average human anymore, and Jane is technically a rather smart scientist. Fake Loki is not yet dealt with and the real one has to go on a fist fight with Thanos, we all know that life is not fair however that is just overkill of bad luck for him so far. He is not really a fighter all that much so it kind of seems like it is going to be one side fight, poor bastard. Dark World is coming, finally!
Great chapter as always.
5107593 This video sums up my reaction to what will happen fairly well
I have no words
5107905 Yeah, they sure do have a complex relationship now
Poor Trixie doesn't just know what it's like to have a friend, though she could do worse than an entirely devoted one like Kael.
And Luna never had any particular love for the average human, nor any hate, she just now is in contact with one she has reason to doubt and much reason to jest about
Fake Loki has had Frigga dealing with him, so we'll see how that influences things.
And normal Loki is getting better at fighting, and in fact can fight well, he just is not a warrior like Thor. Still, Thanos will crush him 
And yeah, Thor The Dark World is upon us! Let the deviations from canon begin!
5110012 She demanded and directed
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have arrived at Thor: The Dark World. Please take your seats and follow the on-screen instructions on how to activate your restraints as shit is about to go down.
...
Again.
And now, I mention I'm surprised Luna wasn't more curious about the whole "Eternal Night" thing... She's going to use this on Malekith, isn't she? It'd be cool. She could "relate" to him about how she, too, wished to bring down eternal night and blah. But yeah, I now patiently await more, sire!
Trixie and Kael'Thas sitting in a tree~
It will happen.
5104067
That's not likely to happen. Death's infatuated with Deadpool and vice-versa. So the awkward family dinner's not gonna be happening anytime soon
5118661 How very apt the word "again" is
Only, next chapter is going to have stuff go down on a level you have not seen before 
I actually meant to have her ears perk at the eternal night thing, but I was tired and missed that line
Don't worry though, I planned on having it later as well so it won't have been completely missed. And yes, she'll have a talk with Malekith about it.
Trixie and Kael is a thing sort-of. Kael's acting goofy and Trixie has no idea how to handle friends, so we have a very awkward duo on our hands
Not likely? Try impossible on both counts. No way Deadpool's appearing whatsoever. This is Hela taking over Lady Death's role, not the reverse. Furthermore Deadpool doesn't match the story's tone at all, so he will be ignored and not included.
5118714
The word 'again' is applied by default to this story. It's just gotten to that level
Good! I was a bit disappointed Luna didn't pick up on such an obvious thing and I hoped it wouldn't be ignored completely. That talk with Malekith is bound to be interesting by every definition of the word.
Awkward duos are the best! There's the awkwardness, then a slow lack of resistance until they finally accept the outcome -awkwardly, I might add- So this should be fun
I know, I know. I know Deadpool isn't even gonna be mentioned in the story since you're that mean and won't give me that satisfaction, but I've learned to cope with it
5118789 This is a story about anti-heroes and anti-villains. If stuff didn't keep happening to them they'd cease to be conflicted characters
Before they talk though, expect there to be a little action since Malekith isn't just going to start yammering when he's doing his whole invasion thing.
And where Malekith is, his bodyguard Agrim isn't far behind...so yeah, interesting in every definition of the word fits I believe 
This is made more awkward by the fact that the Trixie in this story is about a 1.5 on a scale of 0-10 as far as sexuality and romantic interest goes
0 being asexual and 10 being sexual. Kael, on the other hand, has a hardwired interest in Trixie. Boy this is gonna be fun 
I jokingly, many months ago, mentioned Kael'Thas/Trixie as a funny crack pairing in my local Brony group to the confusion of many. Shows how far I plan things ahead 
We've got enough characters. Gotta thin the herd as it is.
5118859
Eh, well, I suppose you do have a point. Still, at least let one of them be free of conflictions
Unlike a lot of villains you find, these days
"Oh, the one that can stop me is near. Let me put aside my plans to ramble on in hopes of making them give up!" Exactly! I know Malekith is strong, but will Luna be able to stand up to Algrim? I'm not entirely sure of Algrim's capabilities.
So... longer than usual, but it'll happen
And damn, you definitely plan things way too far ahead 
That's some craziness right there, I tell you. Craziness!
Bleh. I don't care.
Also have this, I just came across it and thought it a nice read. Perhaps you may, too?
5118881 Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, free of conflict. The Equestria Games was a nice breather wasn't it?
But this story is about characters who because of their own faults keep falling into more and more conflicts. Loki. Luna. Trixie. That's their character 
I'm actually buffing Malekith from his appearance in the movie because he was way too squishy there. Not a huge boost overall, but much tougher. Algrim curbstomped Thor, as did Luna. But it took a black hole to kill Algrim. Luna's not THAT tough
In fact, she's powerful, but her magical power is not even with his physical power.
Not saying it'll take longer, just that Trixie may not be interested in...certain things that she goes "blegh" over, like when Loki was called Silvertongue. If anything Trixie being the result of her mother being raped is going to make her even MORE anti-sex now that she knows
Kael'Thas is just happy to be here on the other hand
It's nice having him not evil-insane, isn't it? I prefer Trixie-insane Kael. 
And my plans really do go way back. Trixie was quoting Kael long before he appeared remember
I also don't read pony fanfics much if ever anymore. Too focused on writing, and I like telling my own stories more than I like reading other people's. It's why I like being a gamemaster in an RPG more than a player.
Thanks though.
5118931
Gee, tone it down a bit. Or I'm gonna start thinking you enjoy characters being so conflicted and self-loathing at times
Malekith was rather squishy
And Luna might not have a black hole but she is black... And has holes. 
Getting away from that, it should be an interesting scene should they face off against one another. I think I might rather enjoy that, and end up yelling at you at the results.
Yeah, I suppose I can see that. But she definitely will warm up to it even though she'd hide it behind a tough exterior, it should be fun watching her go through that inner struggle. She'll be in denial and adorable
Of course you'd prefer TrixiexInsane-Kael. I, for one, prefer sane Kael, even if he is without his OP magic vacuum abilities.
Well yeah, that, but this shipping is a whole new level with you
Bleh. What if I'd secretly written it and wanted your opinion on it? What then, hmm?
5118964 To be perfectly honest, Hela in this story is partly a self-reflection in how I love drawing together tormented characters and having them hash it out in some way. Furthermore, she relives their worst moments over and over just like I rewatch my favorite episodes of shows where these characters usually do something badass and die/suffer
But in general she's just a take that leveled at people like myself in general who obsess over such things.
Even though I'm buffing him I still will put it on the record that pre-Aether Malekith is still inferior to Frigga.
And no, having black fur and holes will not save her here, especially since she'll be bleeding from a few of 'em. 
I already have the results planned out entirely, so I cannot wait to hear you start yelling 
Since Kael is her first "friend" of sorts I suppose she might get a little obsessive, though she'll likely hide it as him simply being "her student". Weirdly enough, she's far younger than him, but they both appear to be young adults since he is long lived like Luna and Loki.
Oh, I prefer sane-Kael to crazy-Kael too, but I prefer Trixie-Kael to Evil-Kael as well.
So does he.
I know it is, but I have shipped Trixie with Cobra Commander before. I think she deserves better in this story
Then I'd give you the same warning that I give everyone else who asks me to review their stuff: that I am a brutal critic who is hard to please, but is that way to be constructive rather than destructive. No-one's been able to handle it yet.
5118661 Twilight's Tree, of course.
How can Deadpool NOT make things awkw-
Yeah how can I not make things weird sugar lips
Oh dear Cthuluh, he's here!
5119559 No more Deadpool please
5119599 the only reason why I am not doing Deadpool more is because I am tired.
5119709 And this lack of Deadpool will persist.
I have to deal with people talking about him all day in real life, don't want to have him here too.
Thank you.
5119720 you're welcome buddy!
5118999
I might have noticed that
I haven't been going through the other comments but is there anyone else here as sadistic as you in these terms? 
I have a feeling there just might be.
That is true, but look what happened to Frigga
And you can expect either calm curses or table flipping, the former being worse than the first.
Well, look at this way, she won't have all that blood weighing her down!
Yeah, "friend". Maybe I should make people stay under my command then have them wake up and only know serving me so I can make "friends" too
That's certainly an interesting way to make some. 
Well, of course he'd prefer that, too. I'm surprised you do, though. I mean, it's you.
...
Yeah, yeah she really does.
I. AM. NO-ONE.
Seriously, no matter how destructive someone might seem. If they meant it in a purely constructive way, I can see that easily enough. People let their emotions get the better of them too easily
5119559
What tree?
He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's movie will most certainly be entertaining.
5122040 Twilight's Treehouse
yup
5122039 I'm not talking about the comments, I'm talking about people in general who like characters who are tormented in some way
Yes, look what happened to Frigga. Keep that image in mind when you imagine what might happen to Luna.
I think you're going to hate yourself after you actually read the next chapter and see what I was talking about with the blood
I expect many things and many reactions. Some people may be confused. Others may be furious. Others may ragequit. We won't know until then, but I surely look forward to the reactions...
Like I said, Trixie's not exactly a pro at making friends.
Maybe Twilight can send some of those friendship lessons to her 
"Dear Princess Luna, Today I learned that making friends bow down and serve me is not exactly a good thing..."
I really liked Kael'Thas until he became a Crack Elf, so I'd love to have him be normal
And so we are in agreement.
