He'd seen the theatrical confidence, the careful political maneuvering, the warmth that lived underneath both. He had never seen Loki strip all three away and become simply fast — a demon lord covering ground with the singular focus of someone who had run out of patience for anything that wasn't arrival.
Satou kept pace beside him. Behind them, Seraphina and Morgana — the Blood Queen's crimson form cutting through the air with an ancient, terrible grace that Satou understood now was usually hidden, the same way Loki's theater usually hid this.
Three hours' flight under normal conditions.
They moved faster as they could ,it was a matter of life and death and they need to hurry to save everyone in the settlement ,
