The drums of war
Loki took Thor at his word, that they would take the battle to the Jotun. He set the board carefully, causing delay in the Jotun army so that they would still be gathering, not yet departed when it was time for Asgard to strike.
But also, he made certain that they would be gathered, that they would be ready for the slaughter he and Thor would bring down upon them. Thor had given his word in that, as well. Loki could only hope that with each drop of Jotun blood, he'd be washed a little cleaner until he could emerge from the other side once more as himself.
The armies of Asgard gathered as well, waiting for Thor's command. Loki stood with his brother on the Bifrost, Gungnir in his hand. While it was the weapon of the King, Thor preferred Mjolnir, and the spear would serve Loki far better than his daggers for the coming slaughter.
The air echoed with drums like a frantic heartbeat.
Loki couldn't quite stop himself from smiling as he turned toward Thor. "Brother, it is time. Let us cut out the cancer that grows in Jotunheim. You need only give the word."
