Seramel Castle

Loki drifted around in the usual, empty void of dreaming that he ended up in whenever he went to sleep, but this time there was much less resistance than usual. He decided to take a walk, and brought himself into a "standing" position and a small, blue path solidified beneath his feet. "Okay, now...Either i'm dead...or sleeping in a way that would make me relaxed" Loki considered the former as possible his favorite choice, but he still had an oath to fulfill. "Alrighty Loki time to wake up" balling his hand into a fist, he threw a straight punch with all of his strength and felt the void give way beneath him, and fell.

As he regained his senses, Loki could feel his head pounding like he had been drinking for a week straight. "Got to lay off the rum" he grumbled to himself and rolled onto his side. It was then he noticed, that his head was on something cushy, like skin but softer. Looking above him, he was on the lap of the girl he had met seemingly minutes before, but now that a majority of his exhaustion was gone he could think straight and there was something familiar about her.

"M...Medusa?....by Coeus! My lady I did not know" he imminently rolled off the bench and kneeled in respect. To finally meet the great gorgon was quite a big deal for Loki, his mind was racing, trying to make sense of his situation. He glanced up slightly and caught a glimpse of a mark on her hand, also a strange, overpowering presence was emanating from her.

He sat down cross legged and looked up at her, avoiding her eyes just in case the stories he heard had been true. Instead he studied the rest of her body, and wasn't to subtle about it. I really would not like to fight her he thought to himself and crossed his arms. "You are in this game as well my lady?" he voiced his thought aloud. "What rank, may I ask?" he tilted his head and gave a small, trusting smile.

"I am queen Loki"

Well now that answered quite a few of Loki's questions, because not only was he alive, but he naturally let his own guard down when they first met and decided to pass out. He quite liked this person especially since he would have to be their subordinate.

Loki was quite frustrated with himself, and still very much confused with what exactly what was going on but a couple things were certain.
This was a big, living game of chess, and the players were from different times and possibly different dimensions. His face remained a well practiced smile when she would touch him. Again the thought passed about ho meeting the legendary gorgon was pretty unbelievable.

Now with that said....he closed his eyes for a moment so that he could clear his head of useless thoughts, rather than being in a state of confusion. He felt Medusa's presence and began to feel others scattered at various distances. But not all of them felt...friendly. There was only one he could feel near himself and that was Medusa therefore they were (more than likely) the only two members of Seramel currently occupying their castle.

"This....is a very interesting game" he muttered and stood up, looking around him then to the castle. The architecture was very, very impressive and functional. The servants were all quite discreet too, if Loki wasn't paying attention he wouldn't notice any of the maids, knights, or gardeners walking around and doing their duties. Loki sorely hoped that they wouldn't be to outnumbered, but he had to admit that it would be fun fighting multiple people. A wide grin slowly crept across his face and he looked back to Medusa.

"Well my queen, shall we explore the castle" Loki said in a very casual tone with an over dramatic bow before offering his hand to help her from the bench.
