I own nothing except Crowen and other characters not yet mentioned... I don't own Loki in other words... which makes me sad... so very very sad... lol ENJOY


CROWEN

Ah, the sweet sound of silence. Peace and quiet. Perfect for meditation. The candles situated in my room flickered, casting shadows as I sat perfectly still on my overly-comfortable bed. My Thor's Hammer hung loosely from my neck, a testament to my heritage and heathen pride. I am Asatru, and damned proud. My mind was clear, yet my focus set on listening to the Gods for their constant encouragement and wisdom. Nothing could bring me out of my own little world... or so I thought. Through the walls in my mind, I could hear a commotion outside my bedrom window. I pulled myself out of my meditation and went to see what was going on. Outside, the sky grew dark and the clouds swirled as thunder roared from the heavens.

"A thunder storm? But the weather called for sunny clear skies today!" I thought to myself, my jaw dropping as a funnel cloud descended from the sky into my back yard. I cautiously stepped backwards and flung my hands up to protect my eyes when a burst of color assaulted my vision. My entire house shook when a powerful crash sounded from the tornado of color outside. As soon as it all had began, it ended. I looked out of my window and found a very ornate pattern etched into my lawn. In the middle of said pattern was a crumpled form of, what looked to be, a man. My heart caught in my throat. This couldn't be happenning.

I raced down the stairs and out of the back door, hoping that whoever-or whatever- it was in my back yard wasn't dead.


LOKI

I couldn't open my eyes. I didn't want to. My entire body ached from the journey and the battle that preceded my arrival to... where ever I was. I knew I was injured. It didn't worry me any. I would heal in time. I could hear and feel heavy footfalls approaching me, then abruptly ceasing at my side. I could feel a presence... but I dare not open my eyes.

"By the Gods," a soft, feminine voice whispered over me. A groan escaped my lips as I used what little magic I had left within me to see her without openning my eyes. She was... Beautiful. For a moment, I thought I was dead and this gorgeous creature above me was a Valkyrie, ready to bring me to the halls of Valhalla. But the thought passed as she looked me over, a look of intense concern crossing over her features. She had long, dark brown hair, intense gree eyes with thick-rimmed spectacles, and soft, full pink lips. From her neck hung a talisman I recognized from centuries ago. I had thought modern mortals no longer wore them. The primative vikings wore them for protection and as a symbol of their belief in the Gods. A Thor's Hammer. I mentally chuckled at her and how ironic this was. A female modern viking?

As she hovered over me, I noticed markings on each of her tiny wrists. They were old Norse runes. On her right wrist was a single rune- Fehu. And on the left wrist were four runes, a name. My name. This mortal girl was strange. A reflection of the vikings of old. They were the only mortals who believed in our existance and respected it.
"At least you're breathing. Thank the Gods, he's not dead." I felt her hands on my armor, trying to figure out a way to move me. "Ahh shit. Please wake up... I can't carry you on my own! I need some help... Please," she begged, desperation clear in her voice. I slowly opened my eyes, meeting her own. She smiled brightly at me, taking my hand. "Come on, let's get you inside before the neighbors start coming out to investigate things for themselves." I reluctantly put my arm around her shoulders, allowing her to lift me. She guided me through the door of her dwelling and slowly lifted me up the stairs. Who was this mortal girl who helped me without question?


So there's chapter one from both Crowe's pov and Loki's. I can't wait to really get cracking on this story. I'll be writing another after this. It will be based of an actual dream I had a while back... mmmmm Hiddles... gotta love Hiddles. Sorry moment of randomness. lol. feel free to read and review! be gentle!
