Well That Was Unexpected

Loki's POV

Again with the talking. I thought he had learned to avoid that activity with me. Is he done yet? And no he's not. This is exactly the reason I avoid him. Oh brother you must come on this adventure with mother and father. If I wanted to go I would go but as you can tell I quite obviously DON'T.

"-and the reports say that it is our soldiers terrorizing these innocent civilians!"

"I'll come."

"What was that brother?"

"Don't try my patience today Thor"

"I'll tell mother and father of your decision." Thor left with a respectful bow in my direction. He could be so persistent sometimes. I wonder if it's Vanaheim. We had put an entourage of soldiers there to protect the King. Those elves are pacifists. I had learned their way when I was but a child. I do hope it isn't them that's under attack. Uh. Sentiment. A weakness.

Legolas POV

Why do the Asguardians always have to involve themselves in other worldly issues. If it weren't for them I wouldn't have to go back to the village where my family are. Sentiment. A strength. One many perceive as a weakness as it is easily used to manipulate.

The child that arrived to tell me that the Asguardians soldiers had conquered my home village was in my home still. She had arrived at the crack of dawn and who am I to leave a young lady out in the cold. She was about ten years of age. Her family was wise to send her. If they didn't she would be training to become a whore for the leading soldier.

So here I am out in the forest journeying to free the village and its occupants. There's a rustling to my left. My hand immediately goes to my bow and arrow. I wait patiently for the person to show themselves. When I say eight black hooves moving forward fluently I realised that it was just a horse and lowered my bow slightly. I could tell by the shoes on the beasts hooves that it wasn't wild therefore I had to find its rider. There was no way I'm going to leave a lost beast out here it will probably be eaten and we couldn't have that could we? As I approached the startled horse a man with a golden eye patch walked out of the dense tree area. My bow rose automatically as he had stepped into my clearing. That was when his voice boomed out:

"I am king Odin of Asguard" I did nothing but raise my eyebrow. I don't see how he just expects me to know him because he's a king. I don't even know the name of my own king. I just raised my other eyebrow as well that was when I saw him...
