Loki lounges upon a makeshift throne, formed from twisted armor. She turns a wand shaped from pitch-black wood over and over in her hands. With her new weapon, Faldir, "Mind-Killer", she has all she needs to claim Asgard's throne once more. She draws the wand over her skin, and shudders with excitement.
Loki muses to herself, enjoying Faldir's power. Suddenly, the door of her throne room bursts open, and a young woman, Salrana, Odin's chief bodyguard, charges into Loki's throne room.
