AN: Sorry for not posting for so long. My other stories will be in hiatus until I find time. I have been thinking of this one since I saw Thor, and The Avengers just made it worse. So hope you enjoy my new story!

Prologue: Always Knew

Loki always knew he was meant for something great. Why would he have such a gift for magic if he was not to create something magnificent? His father had told him and his brother, Thor, that they were destined to be kings, that they were born to have a throne.

Loki took that opinion to heart, and began to dream of when he would rule Asgard. Maybe not the way he would like, as Thor would inherit by right of first-born son, but he could rule from the shadows as Thor's most trusted advisor. After all, subtlety was what he did best. He was to be the god of mischief, traits of intelligence and charm to complement his brother's bravery and openness. With this vision of a life ruling by his brother's side, together, Loki was content.

AN: Really short, I know. But it's a prologue. Reviews bring faster updates!
