[Loki]
Yes, Thor has a proud and strong heart, but I worry the more I learn about these dreams the greater the risk who this woman was or is will damage our bond.
Why should you be surprised? You're my brother and you seem very much in-touch with these dreams. I'm finding navigating and controlling the effects of them seeping into my waking life difficult. I exorcised an angry spirit from my home the other night. It had injured me before and ran the risk of becoming possessed in the process, but I was able to captured his soul then burned the vessel, banished it forever to Hel and won control of the souls that haunt my house in the process.
Then the recurring dream changed. The woman no longer looks angry but when she regards me with a wicked smiling. Almost as if I had somehow deeply amused her. I saw a fire burning behind her and heard that same horrible screaming from the night when I burned the doll but she makes no motion to extinguish the flames or end the soul's torment. I believe the ritual worked and the house is peaceful once more, but at what cost, brother?
