A long time ago, a happy couple lived in Midgard. Their dream was to have a child; however, fate was not on their side. Desperate, the couple decided to trust a strange magic.
One night hidden under the dark sky, they walked towards the forest. There, hidden among a large number of trees was the altar of the Gods. The man knelt down and recited an ancient prayer. The woman stood a few steps behind him. For a few minutes, nothing happened. The man murmured again the prayer. This time, the fog began to haunt around the altar, acquiring the shape of a woman. Her blond hair was gathered in two braids and her blue eyes were fixed on the man kneeling in front of her.
"Why did you call the goddess Freyga?" The blonde woman asked. The man got up and stepped back a few steps.
"We need your help, great goddess." The man confessed making a small bow. "My wife and I are unable to conceive a child, please help us!"
"What would you be willing to sacrifice?" The goddess asked after a few minutes of reflection.
"Anything, I would give my life if necessary." This time the man's wife approached.
"Would you give your lives in exchange for a child? Are you both willing?" Her cold gaze went from man to woman. Both nodded. "You will be heard."
As she had appeared, she faded slowly. The couple returned home at dawn.
As the goddess Freyga told them, their prayers were heard, and nine months after that night, a midwife came to the house of the happy couple to help the woman give birth to her child. To everyone's surprise, the woman gave birth to two equal and precious girls. Never in Midgard had she seen a beauty equal to that of those girls. At that time, the house began to fill with mist and the figure of the goddess Freyga accompanied by two soldiers appeared in the house.
"My Goddess." The man saluted, bowing. "We were not expecting your visit."
"It's strange since the deal was very clear."
"Deal?" The woman exclaimed in horror. "I beg of you, please, excellence, do not take my babies."
"You swear to give your lives in exchange for a child, that's why you have two beautiful girls." Freyga said as she approached the beds where the two girls were sleeping peacefully. "You've had the girls, now I have to collect my share of the deal."
The goddess took out two jars filled with a strange substance. She handed one to the man. He glanced at his wife before opening the bottle and bringing it to his lips. A light began to flow from him and towards the bottle. After a flash, the man's body disappeared. Only the bottle remained floating in the air shining with its own light. The woman looked at the bottle while tears ran down her cheeks. Her lips formed a phrase before receiving another similar vial. Please. The goddess looked at her firmly, indicating that there was no other option. The woman looked at her daughters for the last time before repeating her husband's actions.
"Take care of them for me, please." She said before disappearing.
Freyga approached the girls. One opened her eyes and looked at her smiling. At that moment, a warmth filled the heart of the goddess. She knew that she could not leave the girls to their fate.
"My goddess, we have to go." Said one of the soldiers.
"Get the girls." Said the goddess standing up and leaving the house. "Heimdall, the bridge." The three figures entered the rainbow and reached Asgard. However, Freyga did not cross the Bifrost.
The girls were lucky to have only a few hours of life. Frayga could change them by means of a spell. What could be your perfect life? She asked herself as she looked at the girls who were in the soldiers' arms. I could turn them into goddesses, but they would not appreciate their beauty so much. Only one race would know how to admire them: The elves. But which would be better? Faced with her indecision, she decided to send each of the girls to a different kingdom.
"You will call yourself Kaira, and you will be the future queen of Alheim, the Kingdom of the elves of light." Freyga baptized the girl and gave her a pendant with a sun whose center was formed by a golden stone. "In this pendant, I give you the power of light, you will know how to use it wisely." Kaira laughed. The soldier who was holding her headed for Alheim, where he would deliver the girl. "And you." She said turning to the other girl. "You will be called Kaysa, future queen of the dark elves." As she did with Kaira, she handed her a pendant. This was a moon with a purple stone. "In this pendant, I give you the power of darkness." The soldier carrying Kaysa made his way to Svartalheim, the Kingdom of the Dark Elves.
Freyga knew that she had done the right thing by turning the girls into elves. With a sad smile she dismissed the girls who separated their ways.
In another part of Asgard, a six-year-old boy with black hair ran away from his older brother. His laughter filled the palace gardens.
"I catch you!" His older brother exclaimed. He was about eight years old and his blond hair fell on his face. "It's your turn, Loki." He said while running.
"Thor, wait." Laughed Loki as he ran after his brother.
The two arrived at the entrance of the palace, where a girl of Thor's age played with her dolls. She was the daughter of one of the palace maidens. The first time Loki saw her, she was helping her mother with the laundry.
"Hello." Loki politely greeted, trying to start a conversation. The girl looked at him with disinterest. Her expression changed when she saw Thor on stage.
"You're supposed to catch me." Thor said to Loki, without paying much attention to the girl who looked at him enthralled. She jumped up and started talking animatedly with Thor, completely ignoring Loki.
Seeing his brother steal his girl, he left in a rage, leaving the couple behind.
The moment he reached his chamber, he unleashed his fury. The books flew from one side of the room to the other as the atmosphere filled with their screams.
An hour later, when all his fury was released, he sat on his bed, watching the whole disaster. Someone knocked repeatedly at his door. When he opened it, he saw his brother Thor with a smile waiting for him to continue playing.
"Are you tired of talking to your friend?" Loki said. He put a lot of contempt on the last word.
"She is a stubborn." Thor said trying to enter the room, however he found his brother obstructing his step.
"Good night brother." Loki said seriously closing the door in his face.
From that day on, the relationship between Loki and Thor was never the same again. There was no more laughter in the gardens, no running around the palace corridors. However, they would have to spend a few more years for their relationship to end up breaking.
Ten years had passed since that incident. Loki began to be instructed in the art of illusionism, coming to dominate shortly after starting. On the other hand, Thor began his training as a warrior. They were barely visible, but their relationship was cordial.
At that time, Frigga, their mother had received a new maid. She was Loki's age. The girl was caught by the charm of Thor, but as he did with the daughter of the maid, he ignored her shamelessly. Loki, on the other hand, could not take his eyes off that beautiful figure who served breakfast to his mother every morning. He had managed to exchange a couple of words with her, but he needed more.
One day, the maid was kinder than usual with Loki. She told him about her childhood and how she had arrived at the palace. Loki smiled politely while enjoying his conversation, however, something strange was going on in his head. She is lying to you, a voice whispered inside him. He shook his head trying to dispel that idea from his head. But he knew she was lying to him. He excused himself and went to his room.
Once there, he ordered one of his servants to lie to him in simple things such as the color of different objects that Loki was pointing out. He experienced the same feeling he had experienced with the maid. After spending so many hours he ordered his servant to retire. He thought about what happened and it was when he realized his new ability.
The days passed and the maid continued with her new attitude towards Loki. The boy was offended, although he hid his feelings. He was curious to know more about his new skill. Over time, he managed to master it to the point of knowing what was the truth that hid the people behind their lies. That was how he discovered the reason why the maid was so friendly to him: She wanted to get to Thor in any way. And I am the easy way. Loki replied. What the maid did not know is that Loki had devised a plan of revenge.
One night, Loki confessed to the young maid that he had talked to Thor about her. He told her that he was waiting for her in his room. The girl began to jump of emotion. Loki smiled and gave her the directions to take to the room.
"You have to go at midnight." Loki added before abandoning the girl.
What the maid did not know is that Loki had given her directions on how to get to his room. When she entered she was surprised to see the black-haired man sitting on the bed. She was paralyzed without knowing what to do. When she saw him get up and walk towards her, she turned around to go out but found another Loki blocking the door.
"What are you doing?" There was fear in the girl's voice.
"It seems that Thor has changed his mind, I'm really sorry." Loki had to make her believe that what he said was true. "He does not know how to appreciate you." Loki stood behind her and began to caress her bare arms. "You do not deserve this." He whispered in her ear and brushed his lips against her neck.
He just needed a few more words and got the girl where he wanted: Naked in his bed waiting to receive him.
Slowly Loki undressed and get rid of his leather clothes. In a matter of minutes, he was ready to get rid of the desire to own his first woman. He positioned himself at her entrance, fixing his green eyes on those of the maid. Without warning, he entered with all his strength inside her, pulling a howl of pain from the girl. He went on like this all the time. He did not mind pleasing the girl he had in his bed. Loki just wanted to satisfy himself.
"Get dressed and leave my room." He ordered exhausted, laying down, turning his back on the maid.
"You lied to me!" The maid exclaimed, covering herself with her clothes. "You just wanted to steal my virtue!" Tears appeared in her eyes.
"What do you expect from the God of Mischief?" Laughed Loki cruelly as he pushed the maid out of her room. The God of Mischief, good name. From that day, Loki promised never to fall in love with anyone, which did not prevent him from enjoying with as many women as he wanted. And if it implies a lie, I am willing to play my role.
