Hey, so this is a new story I'm trialing out. I've had thoughts about it for a while, and I know where it's going but before I go through all the hard work of writing it all, I thought I could post the first chapter and see if anyone was greatly interested in it. There are 3 chapters of A LOT written, so if you guys are interested in this story, please review and let me know so I have a lot of motivation to write with!
Also, Sigyn in this story is a relation to one of the main characters later on. This story will range from PRE-THOR, through THOR, between THOR and THE AVENGERS and between AVENGERS and THE DARK WORLD and through THE DARK WORLD and after the DARK WORLD. Possibly through Thor 3 too, since it might be out by the time I get up to that...
'Let your life lightly dance on the edges of time like dew on the tip of a leaf.' - Rabindranath Tagore
Loki Odinson was just hoping for a simple day out to himself to read a new magic book he had discovered, though he knew the odds of having time alone were slim. The universe didn't seem to let Loki have some of the things he wanted.
The young man was sitting against a tree, smiling to himself and the book on his lap. He had managed to get his brother to leave him alone for a short while, and that was a feat in itself.
But even with that added precaution, it was only half an hour before there was an interruption. Surprisingly it wasn't Thor, but a young woman stumbling through the trees. Loki opened his mouth to ask her to leave but shut it when he actually saw her.
She had blood running down the side of her face, and her strange clothing were torn and blood stained. Her skin was dirty and her long dark hair was matted with blood and all tangled, and her left arm was hanging limply by her side.
"What happened?" Loki exclaimed, jumping to his feet and making the book he was holding vanish in air.
The girl looked at Loki for a second, pain in her eyes, "Who?" she muttered before stumbling forwards.
Loki moved closer wondering. Had she been part of a hunting party? He didn't think so as her clothing was not what you wore when hunting, and she was a woman - but don't tell Sif he thought that.
Suddenly, the girl collapsed, making Loki dart forward quickly to catch her before she hit the hard ground. He looked down at the now unconscious girl in his arms, and then hoisted her up, so he was carrying her properly, like in bridal style. She weighed like almost nothing.
He frowned and looked around. He placed a hand on her neck, feeling her very weak pulse. He knew that if he didn't do anything this girl would most defiantly die.
So with a quick breath, Loki vanished from where he stood.
He reappeared in the Healers, the girl still limp in his arms. The healers were startled to see him, jumping from where they previously sat, but when their eyes laid on the woman in his arms, they immediately got serious.
Loki laid the girl down on one of the empty beds, a small groan of pain escaping from the girl. One of the healers grabbed a healing stone and walked to the girl, and held the stone over her. Loki watched as the healers started their job, but one came over to him.
"Prince Loki, may I ask you to leave so we can fully focus on saving this girl?" The way the healer said it was not really a question but a very strong suggestion.
Loki nodded his head, "Of course. I shall return soon."
And with that Loki left the room, leaving the Healers to tend to the strange woman.
So yeah. Don't worry about the length. The chapters will get longer. The first just always tends to be short.
