Loki stared at the blank wall. The prison cell was better than he knew he deserved, but all the dungeons of Asgard were the same. Though he was surprised he was even allowed to live. He'd expected to be punished much worse, possibly even executed.
It was the sixty-fourth day of his imprisonment. He knew this because he had kept glowing tallies on the wall of his cell made by simply tracing his finger down it.
Loki knew he was commonly referred to throughout the entire realm of Asgard and beyond, well into the nine realms, as a 'trickster'. He was also known as Loki the cunning. Loki the Loki, the doer of good and the doer of evil.
As a child the raven-haired god had done all he could to stir up trouble in Asgard. But back then, before everything had gone wrong, Thor, Loki's best friend and brother had always been by his side.
Well, mostly. Sometimes the trickster even had to stir up trouble with his own flesh and blood. (Or at least he had thought it was his own flesh and blood.) But back then, Thor always eventually forgave him.
Back when things seemed perfect.
No, Loki thought. I won't remember it. I will not.
But the harder he tried not to think, the more the memories assaulted him.
