Bucky was definitely going to be sick. His eyes remained glued shut, but he could see colors on the other sides of his eyelids. He was gonna hurl, he was gonna hurl... and then he felt ground. His knees almost buckled, but he was keenly aware of having landed in something springy. He pried his eyes open. Grass, lots of it, and trees. No snow. It was warm. He took his arm off of Loki's, immediately setting his bag down to strip off his jacket.

They had landed clumsily in a strip of bushes. Light streamed down through the canopy of trees. Loki blinked a few times. "Crashed again." He grumbled. He wondered whether he'd ever be able to make neater landings again, but maybe this time it was because he had brought someone with him. "This is it. Alfheim." Loki had to admit to himself, it was a very pretty place, but he wasn't about to say it out loud.

"If that was a crash than the landings must be spectacular," Bucky grunted, picking his way out of the bushes and glancing around. Not a soul in sight. It didn't look at all different from Earth, other than the sun maybe being slightly bigger, and a bit dimmer. Maybe. He wasn't sure.

Loki flashed him an irritated look. He'd like to see him try to teleport between two different realms with another person holding on! "Whatever." he spat. "I got you here without making you lose another limb." He was getting exhausted with Bucky's ungrateful attitude.
What kind of things even live here besides light elves? Whoops. I've only read my one book that I own on Norse mythology and a few things on the internet, but I'm still pretty lost.]

Bucky just raised an eyebrow at that, rolling his eyes and then his metal shoulder before placing his hands on his hips and glancing back and forth. "That looks like a road," he said bluntly, pointing with one flesh finger to a dirt path far off on one of the rolling hills.
[[ i have NO idea lol. ]]

Fudge.]
"Then that's our best bet if we want to find civilization. Is that what you want?" he asked him confusedly. He thought Bucky wanted to be away from other people and that was the whole point of coming here to Alfheim. "But if you insist..." Loki started forward towards the road. His tall boots crunched on the gravel and dead leaves on the ground.

"I just don't want to be around Rogers," Bucky said simply, beginning to walk, hands deep in his jean pockets and jacket slung around his large shoulders.

Sweet]
As they traveled down the road, there was a loud whooshing noise in the background. Loki was starting to get annoyed by it. He turned around to see what it was. His skin turned cold at the sight before his eyes. A large reddish dragon was bearing down on the two of them. It had golden gleaming eyes, and gold pieces stuck to the scales of it's belly, meaning it's hoard was nearby. Saliva dribbled down it's jaws. The dragon let out a bellow of hunger as it got closer.Suddenly it began chanting, "I am fire, I am death! It was SMAUG.

Bucky turned around, eyes widening as he immediately grabbed Loki by the arm, tugging them both off the path, crouching as the dragon swooped by. "Is that a..." he hissed as it swooped by again, screeching. It couldn't be. Those weren't real.

"Dragon? Yes it is." Loki was breathing hard as he stared up at the huge reptile. It seemed that it wanted to play with it's "food". The dragon would fly down close enough as if it were about to grab them, then back high again. It would repeat that over and over, taunting the two of them. Finally, it landed in front and roared again. Loki could see a slight glow forming in the center of it's chest. It was about to cast fire.

"Mother fu..." Bucky grunted, glancing around, before snapping, "come on, come on, come on!" He grabbed Loki, and hauled ass towards a large pile of boulders, shoving the god behind them before leaping after him. "Do you have any weapons on you?"

" I have my daggers and magic." he grunted irritably, looking Bucky up and down. "I see you didn't come with anything." He peeked out from behind the boulders and threw some stunning shots at it in the form of glowing white balls of energy. The dragon chuffed in surprise, rearing back and confused. "You go ahead, I'll keep distracting it." he hissed at his companion.

"Who says I didn't bring anything?" Bucky snapped, producing a dagger from his sleeve, and then pulling up his shirt to reveal a handgun clipped to his belt. He pulled it out as well, glancing around the rock at the dragon. "I ain't going anywhere."

"Then help me." Loki gritted his teeth. He pulled out one of the daggers from the inside of his coat. It gleamed in the sunlight. Loki gave it a well-aimed throw like an arrow before the dragon moved just out of the way. It flew past it and bounced off of another boulder that sat behind it. He summoned it back to his palm. "Just use the damn gun!" He knew it would be more effective than more flying daggers, and his magic could only do so much to put the dragon at bay.

"Don't dragons have super thick armor?" Bucky barked, but stuck the gun around the rock anyways, firing at the beast. One of the shots lodged in its shoulder, and it roared. Well, apparently not. Bucky fired again, and this time it tore through one of the thing's wings.

"Every dragon has a weak spot." Loki told him, speaking loud over the dragon's belligerent cries. The dragon had slumped partially on the ground now from its injuries. Loki knew it would be better to teleport again than to try to run away. He would transport both of them to somewhere else to distance themselves from it, but they would still be on Alfheim. Without warning, the trickster god grabbed hold of Bucky's shoulder and whisked them off again. When they had gotten to where they needed to be, the dragon was just a red speck in the distance.

Bucky almost threw up as they landed the first time, and then almost fell over as they landed the second time, but somehow managed to not do that. "Oh god," he grumbled, rubbing at his face with a sickened sigh.

Loki attempted to hide his amusement at the look that came over Bucky as they landed for the second time that day. He was getting a kick out of this. But at least they had gotten away for now. They could still see the road from where they were.

"If we go back to the road," Bucky said, pausing to wipe his mouth with a small grunt of discomfort, "isn't it gonna find us again?" He had seen Loki smugly glancing over in that direction, like this had all been some great plan.

"We're not going back there." he said simply, taking out his dagger and cleaning the blade on a large leaf that he had found on the ground to substitute for a handkerchief. He lifted it to the light to admire it's shine before putting it back and dropping the leaf back where it was.
Should they try to find the elves, maybe? And then what, I don't know.]

Sorry. Busy the last few days! ^^] I'm just going to pretend they're kind of like the elves from LOTR if that's okay.]
"Halt!" a booming voice echoed in the forest behind the pair of them. Loki threw up his hands and looked around for it's owner. A tall figure gracefully stepped out from the bushes with a bow and arrow pointed straight at his chest.

Bucky threw his hands up, a bit more slowly, a moment later. His backpack sagged in his grip as he looked the... elf, over. He'd heard legends about them, though never seen one. Looking the elf up and down, they were tall, graceful, beautiful. "We come in peace?" he tried.

The elf turned to face the other human (he didn't recognize Loki at first), the one with the strange metallic left limb. He was even more wary now. "State your name, and origin." he said very clearly. Loki wondered whether to lie or to use his actual identity. It didn't look as if this guy knew who he was or he would have flipped out by now. What if Asgard had sent out messengers saying what had happened to him and what he was doing?
