Henry watched in interested as Loki presented before him a young woman to explain her story this was the first time in this court to have happened for a woman to speak freely as she would and not be queen; Anne stepped forward looking at Henry she gave him a curtsy before beginning her story,"That day the mercenaries came through our land.. killed the lord and lady of the manor along with there son..", she commented in a soft voice,"All men were killed I am unsure but I belive the children were brutally murdered in the attack as well what little we had.. and all the women where brought out for spoils of war", she said in a soft voice,"10 select young ladies myself included were to be tooken to a camp where we stood before a captain I am sure... he was going to use us for personal services... before he was sent away.. we sat in the tent awaiting our fate your majesty only to have a strange hooded man come in and began to kill one of us women", she took a deep breathe,"I ran for fear of my life we all scattered and the mercenaries came back to deal with the hooded man knowing I had escaped I ran into the marshlands upon stumbling I met Loki coming out of the woods in a cloak he...", she paused,"He spoke to the men in a strange voice and they began to kill one another", there were gasp and mummers around the room as Henry's eyes got big as he raised his hand for silence,"He carried me back to shore where I swore allegiance before the events I just told.. He walked along the beach and spoke again as the men killed themselves at his command", she said hearing the room grow quiet with murmuring,"He offered us a deal to serve him many called him out as a demon or the devil but he told us he was the god Loki and showed us his great power by rising an actual castle from the water.. Me and a few other english ladies serve him", she concluded turnign to nodded at loki before stepping back; Alot of mixed emotions were going through Henry's facial expression as he tried to think of something to remark of this.

Loki smiles and puts a hand on her head."Well done Anne take a seat please."He says softly before walking back into the middle of the court."King of England Henry the 8th I seek only one thing,turn the land I saved over to me."He says with a grin.

"You come into my court and demand that I give you whales?", said henry narrowing his eyes,"I have little patience for games if you really claim that you are a god then prove to me that you are one", demands the king,"If not I shall have you beheaded on the spot", there were guards already drawing there swords as the whole area was gasping in fear wondering what was going to happen.

Loki laughs and grins but the sound wasn't in the middle of the room it was coming form beside the king."Oh a man who wishes to see with his eyes I like that a lot king."He says before speaking again this time he was behind the nobles."I wonder in what ways I can show you godliness that you and your kingdom always seem to boast about."He then appeared back in the middle of the room,the knights swords then shimmer and then turn to butterflies before flying away in a swarm of colors.

Henry and the courtiers seen before there very eyes the succession of the god's powers and henry for the first time in such the longest of times felt real fear and he turned to stare at Loki but before he would humble himself complete he bowed his head slightly as if in defeat,"I shall give to you the consent of Whales.. for it seems you have the power to take all of England if your heart desired it..", he concluded,"Do you wish to take anything else save it the lives of my people and my own self", he asked finding himself angry having been born during a time in which he would have to face a god.

Loki grins."No I have only come for the land I saved that is all king Henry,much blood was already split."He says bowing his head."I may be a god of mischief but i do not always seek blood."He says before standing straight."After all if I was so tarable would I have saved these ladies and let the others leave of there own free will,I gave them all a chance and these lovely ladies chose to serve me and as such they are treated with care and respect."He says waving for them to step up and when they did he steps behind them letting them take the stage."Ladies show the king your thanks for letting us have our land."

Henry try to manage a smile even though you could tell he was rather disgusted with the whole situation he remained calm and unflustered over the whole ordeal... As the girls turned to the king they gave him a deep curtsy,"Thank you your grace we are most pleased you have given our Lord the lands of Whales", they said having Anne take the lead in words. As they all stood up henry remarked,"You are most welcome to stay if you need.. I have had not time for your arrival for I have been unable to attain you gifts here..", henry snapped his fingers as his coutiers brought out some jewels, furs, and cloth,"For your Ladys of the court so they may shine in your own court and as for you...", said Henry standing slowly as he walked forward (this was during the period of time that Ghoute had took his legs) he moved over to the window,"I shall give you 2 of my best horses for yourself and your brave knight", he concluded nodding toward Noah,"Let me know if you need assistance or items... I shall send to you what I can", said Henry trying to play impressive as he always did,"If you are seeking a queen such as myself I have 2 available daughters", he told him,"The Lady Mary and the Lady Elizabeth if you wish for their portraits I shall have them shipped to your castle in whales", said Henry already trying to tie down a proposed marriage,"For I am unsure how a god will love a mortal woman but I am sure you know how Politcal marriages work..", a deep sadness resigned, within his gaze,"Sometimes you have to do so for the sake of your kingdom..", he was referring to his marriage with Anne of Cleves after not long losing his wife Jane Seymour.

Loki could read the king like a book but didn't show it."I think you for the gifts your grace."He says with a smile."We gods love the same as you mortals we feel fear,anger,hate,love,lust,joy but for us we suffer form them more and far longer."He says before looking around the room."I do not with to take your daughters how ever some nice panting to have on display would be nice."He says before walking back to the girls."King Henry the 8th you worry about your borders fear not for if war is brought to your door call for aid my men will join your lines."He says looking back at the king with a grin.

The king nodded toward Loki and said to him,'I will seek you out if I need help it seems there is alot that I must comprehend everything that I have been taught and have known in life has been washed away but only an hour of your presence I have much to thinking about", said the king,"If you wish to stay in the palace you are most welcome before you return to your land if not I shall have some of my men escort you back to your home with supplies as well", said the king,"I shall be seeing you again soon for much has to be done because of your arrival", said the king. As the girls were letting the men know where their carriage was and talking to know about what they should most likely do anne told the group,"I think we should let Loki decided I feel it would be best to return home but He is our Lord", said concluded and they all nodded in agreement.

Loki once more bows to the king and leaves with the girls and his knight before smiling."Will that went better then I thought."He says before looking at the girls."we are going to head home to inform the others about the land we now own."He says as he walks with them and some of the kings men.

Anne and the girls nodded it seemed loki would be heading home regardless he had plans to as well; They would then re enter the carriage with precious gifts and would be going all the way back to whales but along the way they would have to visit a nunnery, Anne gazed longingly at the gardens as they passed them she heard of stories of how the courtiers would fall in love among the beautiful gardens reading as they were granted such privilege she remembered her book back at home and smiled she wanted to read it so much.. she barely got half way into the precious book; She hoped that loki would allow education alot more freely then the english kings.

Loki sits with the girls as the carriage starts to move and he notices how Anne was staring at the gardens and looks at them in turn."You ladies did well today so did you learn anything on this little trip."He asks his hands folding in his lap.

Anne turned as did the others towards loki,"I have learned that Henry isn't as hotheaded as people take him for", she told loki,"If he was the tryrant that really killed 3 wives already I dont see it... perhaps he did... He was used to having all of england but he was willing to give up whales for the sake of a war he couldn't win", concluded anne; The other girls nodded,"He may not be as handsome as he used to be but he is still very tall and very well spoken in such a princely manner", concluded joan, the other nodded,"I am glad that Lord loki defended us against the male courtier he was rather prune", said mary, the girls nodded in agreement,"Thank you Lord Loki for defending us we are very grateful", said anne, as the girls chimed in their agreements.

Loki looks at the girls."I see."He says hearing there points of view,each one was rather different,then he thought they would be."No need to thank me girls its a kings duty to look after his people."He says with a grin he then seen the nunnery coming into view and they stopped and Loki gets out and smiles.

As they came onto the nunnery some of the nuns came out and it was led by a bishop who was over the whole affair as Loki got out of the carriage his ladies after him the bishop knelt his head respectfully,"My lord what do we owe this visit?", he knew that Loki was important perhaps not his identity but he knew he was of great importance especially carrying the kings men.
