A A A A

Loki uses magic to turn Azure invisible. No one but her can see, hear, or feel her. She can touch people but she will be the only one to feel it. They won't feel it nor will they be moved by it. She can see herself and hear herself. Oh, Loki can see, hear, and feel her. He just acts like he can't.
 
The morning finally came. After a few days of messing around with magic and potions, Loki finally concocted a special something just for Azure. He has a little bird to thank for the idea for his revenge. He rose a bit earlier than the other nobility in the palace. Suiting in his usual attire, he grabbed the small vial that held the potion and left his chambers. He strode down the familiar halls until he spotted the one he had been looking for. 
 
"Excuse me." He called out, not knowing what her name was. 
 
A simple servant girl turned around. In her hands, she carried a tray that held a cup and a pot of freshly brewed tea. "Prince Loki." She curtsied skillfully as to not dump the tea on the floor. "May I help you with something?" She asked.
 
A handsomely mischievous smile spread on his face as he neared her. "Yes, you can." Once he was within reach, he took his free hand and placed a finger under the girl's chin and tilted her head up. "But first, it seems I have forgotten your name. How foolish of me." He spoke with charm. A small bit of magic flowing through his hand to keep her attention on him. 
 
Her cheeks heated a bit from the intense gaze she was under. "Anthea, my lord. My name is Anthea." She answered his unspoken question. 
 
"Anthea." Loki tried out the name for himself. "What a charming name for a beauty like yourself." His thumb started to move along her jawline, caressing her cheek. Once he knew he had her full attention on him, he uncovered his other hand and removed the lid from the pot of tea. In a fluid motion, he poured the contents of the vial into the tea and used a little magic to mix it in. He, then, covered the tea again and lowered his hand once more. "I didn't mean to interrupt your routine. You look like you were on your way to a certain location." He released her from his magic as he removed his hand from her face.
 
The formally entranced girl came to her senses and remembered what she was doing. "Oh! I'm going to be late serving tea to my mistress." 
 
Loki's smile turned into an apologetic one. "I apologize, I will let you get back to your work." He took a step away and started in the opposite direction. 
 
Anthea curtsied once more before going on her way. She took a few steps, but then paused. She turned back around. "My lord, did you need som-..." As she turned around, Loki had vanished from sight. With the confused look on her face, you could tell she was questioning whether she had actually run into the prince or whether her mind was messing with her. She shrugged it off and continued on her way. 
 
Once she reached her destination, she balanced the tray in one hand and knocked on the door with the other. "My lady? Your morning tea." She called out. 
 
"You may enter." A soft voice answered from the other side. 
 
Anthea opened the door and walked in, going straight to the desk where she set the tray down. She took the pot and started to pour a cup of tea. "I'm sorry that I'm a bit late. My mind was messing with me earlier." She explained, knowing her mistress was full of compassion.
 
Azure laid the book she was reading down and stood from her bed. She reached her arms up and stretched before walking over to the desk. "It isn't a problem. You gave me a bit more time to finish a chapter I was reading." 
 
Anthea placed the pot of tea down, then handed the cup to Azure. "I'm glad my tardiness brought something good." Azure took the cup and gazed at the color of the tea, trying to guess what flavor today's brew would be before consuming it. "I will take my leave now, my lady." Anthea curtsied to her mistress and left. 
 
"Berry hibiscus." Azure commented then took a sip of the tea. A sweet smile formed on her face. "I got it right again." She took her cup over and sat back on her bed, returning to the place she stopped in her book. 
 
A few hours had passed and Azure had finished her book. She rubbed her eyes and yawned, trying to wake herself up a bit. Getting up, she went over and suited herself with her usual attire before leaving her chambers and making her way to the dining hall. All the royal and noble people in the palace always gathered for the main three meals of the day. It was a new years resolution to bring everyone closer together. Azure giggled at the idea. If you wanted a giant, dysfunctional family in the same room, you got it. After a brisk walk, she had reached the dining hall. She sat in her usual seat with the others her age. "Good morning, everyone." She greeted then began to eat. 
 
Thor turned his head to Loki. "I'm getting worried about Azure. Are you sure she's alright? She hasn't been out of her room in days." The conversation was easy to hear for Azure. 
 
Azure looked a bit confused. She decided that he just didn't acknowledge her yet. "Sorry, I've been a bit sick and didn't want to pass it to any of you." She answered. 
 
Loki nodded as if he didn't hear her answer. "Yeah, I went to visit her, and she was fine. She said something about finding a new rare species." He took a bite of his bread after replying to Thor. Magic wasn't the most praised thing in the palace, so Azure and Loki kept their magical prank war a secret. 
 
Now she was really confused. She had just answered the question, and yet it seems like neither of them heard it. It wasn't loud enough in the hall to not be able to hear. Her voice was normal. "Guys?" She called to them. 
 
Thor took a drink from his goblet and sighed. "She really gets into those kind of things. I'm still worried though. It's like there is an empty place that she isn't here to fill." His gaze moved directly to her place at the table. 
 
She waved her hand. "I'm right here." She stated.
 
Loki patted his brother's back. "Don't worry, brother. Maybe, we can go pay her a visit after breakfast."  He suggested in a comforting tone. It sounded a bit strange coming from him. He usually has his silver tongue talking, but now there is concern coming from him. Azure shuddered a bit. 
 
"Guys!" She yelled, still attempting to get their attention. When they didn't respond, she started coming up with conclusions as to why they wouldn't notice her. Once she had a reasonable explanation, she rolled her eyes. "Ok guys, very funny. I'm sorry that I haven't been out of my room in a while, but you don't have to play like I'm invisible. I promise I won't do it again unless I'm sick." She took a bite of bread. 
 
Thor nodded with a reassured smile. "That sounds like a good idea. I would like to see her for myself. Just to be fully sure." 
 
Azure growled a bit. "Seriously? I apologize to you, and you still play dumb?" Her expression turned sad. "Please don't do this to me. I'm really sorry." She pleaded with them, but to no avail. They still didn't acknowledge her. Her expression went from sad to mad. "Fine then. If you want to play like I'm invisible so bad, go ahead." She chewed her food in an aggressive manner.
 
Breakfast came and went. Once Thor and Loki were finished with their meals, they decided to go visit Azure's chambers to find her. Azure decided to follow behind them to see how long they could put up this charade. 
 
Once they reached her chambers, the door was ajar. They peeked inside to find Anthea making the bed and tidying the room. "Hello, Anthea." Loki greeted her. "Have you seen Azure?" He questioned her. 
 
Anthea curtsied when she saw the princes and shook her head. "No, my lord. She was here this morning when I brought the tea, but I haven't seen her since." 
 
Azure walked up to Anthea. "Anthea, these two are being absurd and pretending I'm invisible." She pouted and sat on her bed. To her surprise, her servant didn't reply to her. "Anthea?" 
 
"That's strange." Thor commented as he started to get more worried. What if something happened to her? Perhaps, there was an imposter posing as her!
 
Loki put his hand on his brother's shoulder. "She is probably out and about wandering the forest or garden like usual. She will be back soon. Let's check back later. She will surely be here then." 
 
"Prince Loki?" 
 
Loki turned his head to Anthea. "Yes?" he answered.
 
"Did you by chance stop me in the hall this morning?" 
 
"No, I didn't." 
 
Anthea nodded and bowed her head. "Of course, I apologize for asking." She went back to her work. 
 
The two brothers left the room after the conversation was finished. Azure rose and walked over, wrapping her arms around Anthea. "Please tell me that you aren't playing along with their stupid game." She pleaded. 
 
Anthea paid no mind to her and went around as if she were the only one in the room. Azure was completely dumbfounded. What was wrong? Did she do something wrong? Why was no one noticing her? She read some books about a girl being "invisible" inside a Midgardian school, but she was certain this wasn't the same. She plopped down on her bed once more. Different possibilities passed through her mind. Was Thor that upset? No, he wouldn't do something like this. He would have embraced her when he saw her. She thought a bit harder, but then it came to her... Loki.
 
She bounced to her feet and exited her room. Her pace was swift as she searched the halls for the god of mischief. Finally, she found her target. "Loki!" She yelled. Anger was evident in her tone. Loki did not slow his pace or acknowledge her. She sped up and walked backwards in front of him. "Loki! What is the meaning of this? Is this your form of revenge? If so, fine you got me. Now don't make Thor play this silly game any longer. You even charmed Anthea into this game too, didn't you?" She accused him. Still, he made no actions to acknowledge her. She tripped over her foot and landed on her bottom. Loki walked past her continuing to his destination. In full rage, she screamed. "You insolent...!" She stopped herself before yelling anything she would regret later.
 
Loki took a few more steps then stopped. A smirk forming on his face. He spoke without turning his head to her. "I guess I have to give you some credit for knowing this was my doing." He turned to face her. "Although, you are far from the actual prank being pulled." 
 
Finally being acknowledge, Azure had to pause for a moment to make sure this wasn't all in her mind. Once she decided against it, she stood and walked over to him. Her anger returned. "Then, what do you call all that? During breakfast, you guys ignored me. Even my maid didn't acknowledge me!" 
 
Loki chuckled. "It's called an invisibility potion. I did tweak it a bit though." He smiled, proud of his work. 
 
"An invisibli-..." Her mind floated back to when Anthea was a bit late with the tea this morning, and when she asked Loki if he stopped her in the hallway this morning. "The tea..." Everything made sense now. She closed her eyes and yelled at herself inwardly for being so unobservant. 
 
A dark laugh came from the man in front of her. "And everything made sense again. Sadly, it wasn't as long lived as I hoped it would be. It was quite amusing to see your frustration." The smirk returned to his face. 
 
She opened her eyes and gazed up at him. "How can you see me then?" She asked.
 
Loki took back what he said about giving her credit. His expression changed to an unamused one. "I tweaked the potion. Everyone who comes into contact with you will not be able to see, hear, or feel you." He explained to her. 
 
She thought about it for a second. "Everyone except you." She added to his explanation.
 
"Precisely." 
 
She looked as if she was in deep thought for a couple minutes. "Very impressive." She smiled at him. "Not anyone would be able to come up with something like that." She praised him for his work. He was taken back by her praise, but kept his composure calm. She giggled then started to walk off. "Well, I shall be off now. Things to do, people to get to stop worrying about me." She waved her hand and stated walking off. "I'll get you back later." 
 
Loki watched her walk a ways down the hall before turning and continuing on his own. A chuckled resounded inside him. "Silly girl." He spoke to himself. "You never asked me to remove the effects of the potion from you." He shook his head. He entered his room which was right around the corner and sat down at his desk. "No matter. The potion will wear off in..." He took a moment to think about it. "A month?" He laughed and picked up a book to search for his next great idea. 
 
 
Hello, Darlings! 
Back with another chapter. This one is twice as long as the last one, if you haven't noticed. 
Pats on the back for me. 
What did you think of this one? I got the idea from one of my readers that doesn't have an account on this website. They gave me the idea and I loved it, so I wrote it. If you have any ideas, give them to me! I love hearing your ideas. :D Thank you to those who have given me ideas. I might still use them, but not write now. I'm trying to work at a certain speed with them.
Well, comment what you think. Tell your friends. Blah blah blah self promotion... 
You get the idea. Lol
What's the score?
Azure- 2 \ Loki- 2 ?
Yeah, that sounds right. Well... see ya next time!

Ahah, this is funny. I comment, and then I see you updated. Okay, so this is getting interesting. Hey, in just wondering. Could there possibly be a love triangle in the future? Oh wait, no. More like love square? Since there's that Fandlar guy too...Oh, and you go girl! Show him what you got, Azure!

applecyanide  on says about chapter 2:
Loki, omg. Of course, he's th god of mischief after all. Hmmm and you said you want some prompts? Okay...how about: In which the two become lost, and Azure blames Loki. Or: Azure attends Loki's birthday ceremony, but a princess from another land starts to become a bit too /chummy/ with Loki. Azure is (not) jealous.
