1. Chapter 1

The hallowed walls of Asgard stretch high into the cosmos, defiant in their golden splendor; standing the test of countless sieges over eternity, never quaking and never failing - as steadfast as the residents it shelters. Pride is known to be the downfall of many mortal men and it is in this weakness that the true difference between an asgardian and a mortal man is at it's greatest: such a glorious thriving metropolis of gold, thrumming with power would be the chink in a mortal's armor and the envy of monsters ready to prey upon them would be the ultimate downfall.

Asgard is monolithic and undomitable as long as its people stay so themselves - ruling with an ironcast will is Odin, his very veins embrued with this knowledge; this wisdom that can never be denied - and his strength and willpower broils in the hearts of both his sons, Thor of storm and thunder; and Loki of persuasion and cunning. One brutish and headstrong in nature but with an open heart, the other wily and deceptive but with an open mind.

In a recently foiled cataclysmic calamity, Loki with his scarred mutinous heart sits deep within the prisons of Asgard - a winding labrynth deep below the high castle housing all those who dared raise arms against Asgard or its people - the trickster god was beaten and bloodied before being cast away below the feet of all the people he once fought so hard for, beneath the feet of both his father and his brother.

Beneath them.

He feels the same now as he did before his heretic acts - less than all those who once stood by him and looked up to him. An outsider he was born and an outsider he will always be.

Thor pays him regular visits, the two reminiscing and talking of old times - simpler warmongering times before the morals of leadership became theirs to bare. Not once does either shun the other for their differing ideals, nor punishing each other with guilt or spite - brotherhood is the one thing that Loki will never push away and Thor likewise. The two find small comfort in this routine facade in the face of tumultuous adversity; Thor with his pining for Earth and it's comforts and Loki with the anguish of his emprisonment.

Nevertheless, the two brothers are soon to take up arms together: unbeknownst to them, the heroes who staved off destruction once before will be challenged by a new force seeking an answer to its never-satisfied hunger. Loki the traitor and Thor the unruly future king of Asgard will be needed by those helped and hindered back on the unremarkable but tasty planet.
