Avengers/Elder Scroll Series
What if, when Loki fell from the Bifrost, he didn't fall into Thanos' hands? What if, instead, he fell back in time to the days where there was only one planet? A planet with the legendary hero, Dovahkiin? How will the story play out if Loki was the hero? Sort of…..
Chapter 1: The FallLoki's POV
Loki looked at his father, pleading, "I could have done it father! For you! For all of us!" he said, his green eyes glistening with pain and desperation. He silently prayed to whoever, or whatever would listen. He prayed that just this once, things would work in his favor. That his father would see that all of his actions were for the good of Asgard.
His eyes pierced into his father's icy cold gaze, trying to see that acceptance he craved so desperately. But his father's eyes held only disappointment. His father's voice pierced his heart like a poisoned dagger, spreading an icy fire throughout his veins.
"No, Loki."
No. You are not accepted. No. You are not good enough. No. No. No.
Loki looked instead to his brother. His perfect, golden bother, and then to Gungnir, the only thing between him and the swirling void below. Loki knew that it was too late. His father would never forgive him, and Thor would find out his secret and kill him just as he did so many other Jotuns.
His brother was reaching for him, begging him to take his hand. But, what was the use? No one would want to hear his side of the story. He would be painted as a villain, and Thor, as always, the hero. He had nothing left. His father has rejected him, those he once saw as friends had betrayed him, his brother attacked him without hesitation on the word of the betrayers, and soon his mother's mind too would be corrupted by the lies.
He could feel the void beneath him. When he was young, he feared falling into it's depths and suffocating on the overwhelming nothingness. But, now it seemed so inviting. It would be so easy to just give up. No more pain. Nothing but peace.
Loki closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. It was the right thing to do. For everyone. When he opened his eyes, he looked at his brother, no, Thor, with resignation and clarity. It felt as if time itself slowed and his heart paused. Just as realization dawned across Thor's face, he let go.
