Hey guys! This is a What If for Magnus Chase.

Ship: Blitzstone

What if Hearth sacrificed himself to save Blitz in The Hammer of Thor?

Hearth's POV:

Randolph charged forward. Magnus stepped out to block the blow, but he misjudged the target. Randolph shot right past him, and to my horror, stabbed Blitzen through the chest. Magnus howled in rage. "O-oh..." Blitz said, blood seeping between his fingers. I caught him as he fell and dragged him away from Magnus, who was slashing his sword at Loki with no effect.

I knelt beside him and cradled his head in my lap. He was my best friend.... and my crush. Magnus came running over. He put his hands on Blitz's gut and glanced up at me. "You got any runes that would help?" Magnus asked.

I was about to sign but thought better of it. I shook my head. Liar. I knew he saw the anger in my eyes. My anger at Loki. I had already used two runes today, and I was exhausted. A third would kill me, but.... Blitz....

Magnus tried to heal Blitz, but nothing happened. The wound kept growing. It was time. I quietly reached into my bag and pulled out a rune that would save him. I'm sorry, I signed, before leaning down and pressing my lips against Blitzen's, slipping the rune into his palm and saying the command in my mind.

I saw Blitzen gasp as a searing pain shot through my body and my clothes steamed. My skin burned and I fell to the floor. I felt Blitz grasp my shoulders and turn me over. Too late. But not too late to save him. I thought just before I slipped unconscious.

Blitzen's POV:

I had given up on myself. Though I wasn't going to admit that. Magnus's healing wasn't working. He could ease my pain, but my wound kept growing faster then Magnus could mend it.

I thought I heard a bag rustling quietly, sounds like stones clacking against each other. Hearth had brought out a rune. How many had he used? Two this morning, one now? But that means....

I didn't have time to protest as I felt a soft pressure on my lips. My eyes opened wide in shock. I was kissing my crush! But then I felt a rune being slipped into my palm. It dissolved and my wound faded. Hearthstone fell to the floor. I gasped, Magnus sharing my shocked expression.

I sat up and grasped Hearth's shoulders. Magnus snapped out of his shock and tried to heal Hearth. This time, it worked. His clothes stopped smoking. I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't you dare do that ever again." I told Hearth firmly when he opened his eyes (so he could read Blitzen's lips). Hearth smirked weakly. If you hadn't gotten stabbed I wouldn't have needed to save you, idiot. Hearth signed, but humor glittered in his eyes.

I rolled my eyes, hiding a smile, and offered him a hand up. He accepted. He immediately stumbled from exhaustion and I slung his arm over my shoulder so he wouldn't collaspe again. Loki and Randolph were gone, and Sam was just waking up.

Magnus sheathed the Skofnung Sword. It was still covered with my blood. I glanced around at our small, battered group. "We need the Skofnung Stone." I said. Everyone nodded in agreement, though Hearth looked pale, or paler then usual. But he agreed with the others.

(P.s: Sorry this was so short. If I do another I'll make it longer.)
