Hello my fellow readers!
So besides the one shot I decided to another LokixOC story. It will take place during the Thor and Avenger movies. I will try to keep Loki in character as much as I can. The name Shardae came from a book that I read as a teenager written by Amelia Adwater-Rhodes. It's actually a last name but I think it's beautiful and the original name belongs to Amelia. Loki and all marvel characters used in the story belong to their creators. Also when Shardae talks with her inner dragon that was inspired from a book series written by Jessie Donovan. So that original idea belongs to her. Let me know what you think of the story in a review!
Loki knew his brother was over his head when he suggested they travel all the way to Jotunheim demanding answers from Laufey of how two Frost Giants managed to get into passage of Asgard their home. Now thanks to Thor and his temper they were cornered like prey with the Frost Giants surrounding them awaiting Laufey's command.
"We should have left when we had the chance" Loki told his brother.
"We needed answers brother such a shame we won't get them now" Thor replied.
Thor was about to raise his hammer and summon his power of lightning and thunder when a roar split the cold air. Thor and his companions looked up to see a large shape fly overhead and fire was unleashed. Due it being dark the creature wasn't visible only its shape was seen in the night sky. Thor and Loki knew what creature this was and it was a dragon. Dragons originally were from Vanaheim home to the Vanir Gods. Here the dragon species resided in the thousands. But as centuries passed the dragon race began to fall due to greedy hunters of mankind and other beings from the other realms. Thus the dragons were gifted to take the forms of humans and they fled their homeland to reside on Midgard away from prying eyes.
But how this dragon managed to travel all the way from Midgard into Jotunheim was a question Loki and Thor wondered. The beast was angry and after it hissed out another round of flames it landed next to Thor and his friends. Loki sensed the dragon was female and she angry alright. She had four legs unlike her wyvern cousins. Her eyes were an eerie green with a black slit in the center. Two horns rested behind her head and she coiled her huge body around the group. She roared a challenge out to Frost Giants before her daring for them to attack. The majority of them backed away however Laufey did not. A smirk came upon his lips and he took a spear from one of his men.
With lightning like speed the leader of the Frost Giants flung the spear into the air and hit the dragon. The spear made its mark in her right wing and she shrieked in pain. In order to bring a dragon down was to hit them in the wing joints, the eyes, or the neck. The dragoness continued her shrieking before her feet collapsed underneath her. She turned her head and tried to bite the spear with her sharp teeth but the pain was too much and she sank her neck into the ground.
"Help me with her" Loki told Thor.
"She might attack if you try to pull out the spear brother" Thor reminded him.
"Would you rather she suffer?" Sif questioned. "You know dragons have been our allies for centuries"
Thor sighed and he nodded to Sif to help hold the dragoness down while Loki would pull the spear out. Sif went over to where the female dragon laid her great head and began to stroke her. The dragoness sensed the Asgardian warrior was there to help and she didn't move as Loki grabbed a firm hold on the spear. Using his strength he pulled the spear out of the dragon's wing and as he did she cried out in pain. More blood started to pull out of her injury and Loki pressed both of his hands against the wing membrane applying pressure to the wound. He ignored as the dragon's blood stained his hands and he sensed the dragon's strength was starting to weaken.
"She's dying!" Sif shouted.
But before anything else could happen a huge beam of light shot out of the heavens and crashed into the ground close to the others. Thor and Loki sensed their father's presence and Loki knew he was angry. A horse shrieked and reared as Odin appeared holding his spear up. The horse's hooves then touched the ground and Thor shouted.
"Father! We'll finish them together!"
"Silence" Odin commanded his son in his no nonsense tone Loki knew too well.
Laufey suddenly used his powers to conjure some of the ice beneath him and he came face to face with Odin.
"Allfather, you look weary" Laufey greeted the Norse God.
"Laufey, end this now" Odin stated.
"Your boy sought this out"
"You're right these are the actions of a boy treat them as such, you and I can end this here and now before there is further bloodshed"
"We are beyond diplomacy now Allfather, he'll get what he came for the same verdict for the dragon that dared attacked my people"
Laufey turned his head to where the dying dragon was. Odin looked as well and his eyes widened in disbelief. He hadn't seen a dragon in years and here was one now dying. Odin then turned back to Laufey.
"Dragons don't attack without good reason" he told the Frost Giant.
"Then you will have to figure out what her purpose was if she doesn't die from the wound I inflicted upon her, war and death are now upon you"
"So be it" Odin replied and Laufey summoned a dagger and was about to attack when Odin raised his spear and he called upon his power. The next thing everyone knew they were back in the gate that allowed people from Asgard to travel across realms. Already Thor and Odin argued while Loki continued to try and keep the dragoness awake. Despite her size she easily fit in the gate that Heimdall guarded.
The God of Mischief was able to finally get a good look of the dragon's coloring. Her scales were a beautiful midnight black that covered the majority of her body. On her neck she had golden frills that matched her wing membranes. Her tail moved from side to side and it too had golden frills on the end. Sif made Volstagg, Fandral, and Hogun leave so she could help Loki keep the dragon awake long enough so she would get attention from the healers.
"Easy girl" Loki said stroking the dragon's black scales trying his best to ease her pain.
"She's not going to hold up much longer" Sif stated coming over to him.
She eyed the wound and she tore off her cape and made Loki move aside so she could press the cloth into the wound. Suddenly a portal opened and Sif and Loki watched in horror as Thor was sucked into it. The two of them sensed that Thor was without his power. Odin whispered into Mjonir and he threw Thor's weapon into the portal after Thor itself. Loki and Sif remained silent as the portal closed not believing their eyes. Odin then walked over to where the two Asgardians were. They moved out of the way so their king could assess the dragons' health.
"She is dying" Odin confirmed their suspicions. "But it isn't too late for her"
He placed his hand against the dragon's scales and when he did the female dragon's body began to smoke black. Odin removed his cape just as the black smoke dissipated. Loki and Sif's eyes widened when a woman lay in the place of the dragon.
"She's a shifter" Sif stated.
"Aye she is and she's terribly weak" Odin replied as he put the cape around the woman. She still had her clothes on thankfully but they were stained with blood. Odin pressed his hand against the woman's back and the wound from where the spear struck healed.
"She needs to get to the healers before the spell wears off" Odin said.
Loki walked forward volunteering to carry the dragon shifter since his father was not capable of doing it. He also managed to get a better look at her as well. She had auburn hair that went to her mid back and it was curly. She had various markings on her flesh he didn't recognize but he paid no attention to that. He carefully scooped the unconscious female into his arms and he followed his father back towards the palace with Sif following behind.
Gah!
I hated it when Odin banished Thor.
