Sooo darlings, I couldn't sit still and just had to start working on the sequel. My brain was literally drowning in ideas and I had so many scenes playing out in my head I actually had trouble sleeping at night because I kept visualizing all sorts of scenarios and things that I want to put into this sequel... so in the end I gave in to my muse's pestering and here we are... at the start of a new journey which I hope to see all of you taking with me :D
Oh, one little thing to mention. Because of this I might end up postponing that Dracula Untold story I promised you guys a bit longer than I anticipated (because I wasn't planning to start this sequel now, but my brain basically forced me to). And depending on how things go, I might have to put the Lord of the Rings story on hold for a while as well... but I'm hoping that once I finish with my dissertation exam I'll have enough free time to be able to focus on both stories and maybe even get the Dracula story up and going.
But for the moment I won't make any promises because I don't like making promises I'm not sure I can keep (yea I know, I'm a little hypocrite xD)
Also, I'm sure you guys will probably have questions regarding some things in this Prologue and I'll try my best to answer them (if I get any) without spoiling anything from what's to come. I know it's very short, but bear with me I promise the first chapter is coming really, REALLY soon ;D
Oh, and if anyone's curious, the cover picture for this story is no longer Loki, but Kara :D
As a suggestion, when you read this listen to Farewell by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (you can find it on YouTube as part of the soundtrack for a wonderful horror game, named Kholat). It is the song which inspired this Prologue and also the very arc into which the Prologue will tie in the course of the story.
And as I did with Timeless, I will keep to my habit of replying to reviews at the end of each chapter, so don't be shy lovelies~
So with that said, don't forget to toss me a review and let me know what you think :)
Enjoy, lovelies~
P.S. Every Thor/The Avengers/Thor: The Dark World character belongs to the wonderful Marvel. I only own my OCs :)
Prologue
Location: Unknown
Date: Unknown

"Are you coming to me?"
.
.
.
Silence followed the whisper which had caused the entire group to halt as if they had been struck by lightning; but their dark haired guide was probably the most shocked of them all to hear that voice... soothing... alluring... tempting him to stray into the forest nearby...
.
.
.
"Will you find me?"
.
.
He had been warned to not trust his own senses in that accursed place, but how... how could he ignore the pounding of his heart, when it felt as though it would burst out of his chest?
.
.
"The sun is starting to set..."
.
He hadn't even realized that he wasn't moving anymore – having pinned his gaze upon the horizon where the sky was growing dark – until he felt that familiar, heavy hand weighing down on his shoulder; as if in a trance, his emerald orbs met his brother's sapphire eyes, the depths of which were full of concern.

"Will you find me?"
.
.
.
"Come find me..."
.
.
"Will you bring me home, my dear?"
.
.
"Will you find me?"
.
"Please find me..."
.
"I want to go home... please..."
"Come find me..."
"Will you find me?"
"Find me!"
.

He had believed that they had gotten a moment of respite, when a word floated on the air to them, trembling as though it was nothing more than a whimper... a fleeting sigh in the midst of winter's icy embrace... a broken prayer spoken in between sobs...
And he had to stop to clutch at his chest, his gaze growing hazy with tears, a long, shaky breath leaving him as though his very soul had been struck to its core...
.
.

"Please..."
