Fiction Friday - a snippet from Frost Giants

Yeah, this is what I want to do on Fridays - post snippets. Many will be in the rough draft stages, but that's okay. I like it when I can see the evolution of a person's writing skills, and it always becomes obvious with each new story a person writes.

Without any further ado, Frost Giants! From chapter . . . I don't know the number yet. ^_^ But, to me, it's an intense scene and heartbreaking, one in which everyone involved is right but also know there is no other choice for what's about to happen next.

Enjoy!!

Odin stared at the assembly of Gods, Valkyrie, warriors, and humans gathered before him. Grim and determined faces gazed right back at him. The only ones missing for this council were Heimdall ever present at the edge of the Bifrost, Loki who had fallen finally asleep next to his son Sleipnir, Thor who watched over the trickster to be sure none of the stable servants disturbed the God of Mischief, and Bragi, who had left Asgård for the first Midgård. The watchman had informed the King of Asgård both of his son’s departure and what Loki had learned of Arvid’s hideout. The bits of information disturbed him. He relayed everything said to him to those awaiting his command.
