Today, Asgard celebrate Odin Allfather birthday. All the invited guests have come to Asgard.
Allfather is sitting on his golden throne, next to him is Fringga, his wife. Thor and loki are sitting among their friends.
One by one, the guests approach before Odin, give congratulation words for Odin.
Suddenly, all the audiences attracted to a pair of guest, which is now walking toward Odin
Their eyes watching a pair of the guest, but more precisely is the figure walking behind the big man. The figure really beautiful, has a long shiny black hair, with tall body and perfect curves. His has skin as white as snow, and lips as red as blood. His appearance make every person fall in love with him, instantly. No one know whether he is a man or a woman.
Thor and loki, also stunned by the figure
"Who's that?" Thor whispered to Loki
"How should I know" Loki replied
"King Celeste of Maiar and his son" the guard yelled
Odin looked so happy when he saw the big man, which is now standing in front of him
"My old friend, Celeste. Long time we don't meet each other. How are you?" Odin said happily
"Odin, my friend. I'm so happy to see you. I'm very good. You look really good, too. And Fringa, you still so beautiful like a star in the sky"
Odin watching the figure behind Celeste
"You brought your son with you. He's already grown up as a fine gentleman. Last time I saw him, he just a small boy"
"Valeanor, quickly say hello to your uncle, Odin"
"Hello Uncle Odin. It's really nice to meet you and your wife. And Happy Birthday to you, uncle" Valeanor spoke with mysterious voice
"It's nice to see you, too. I hope you enjoy to be here " Odin said
"Oh yes, I already love this place. I think I'll have something wonderful in Asgard"
Odin feel little bit unsure with Valeanor. But He ignored it
"Celeste, I want you to sit down with me at the banquet" Odin asked
"Of course, we'll have a lot of conversations to do" Celeste answered
Suddenly, someone emerge, with a knife in hand. The small figure tried to stab Celeste. But Valeanor quickly catch the little hand. The figure is only a boy. The boy struggling and cursing
"Killer, you're murderer. You killed my father. You're heartless old man. I'll kill you" the boy cried loudly
The audiences shocked with this incident. Celeste recognized the boy.
"Fyatt, what are you doing here?" Celeste asked
"I'm really sorry Odin. I didn't expect something like this would happen" Celeste said
"Who is this young man?" Odin asked
"He's Magrav's son. I have been execute his father, last month" Celeste said sadly
"That the price that he should pay, father. Magrav tried to rebel against you. Remember?" Valeanor cut his father's words
"But he was my loyal man" Celeste spoke with sad tone
"There is no guarantee for faithfulness" Valeanor spoke with harsh tone
Valeanor looking at Fyatt, which is now struggling in his hand
"I already told you, father. You must crush broken plant to its roots. Or it'll bring you trouble, just like now"
"No Val. Fyatt did nothing wrong. Sins of the father should not be borne by his son"
"Release him"
Valeanor just stand still
"Now!" Celeste said in a firm voice
Valeanor releasingFyatt with He still keep his eyes on the boy.
"Fyatt, I want you to go home, right now. I'll punish you later" Celeste said
"I will not go anywhere. I want your death" Fyatt yelled
Fyatt move fast towards Celeste. But Valeanor have stood before him and caught his small wrist again.
Valeanor smiled, his red lips tugging. Suddenly from Valeanor's hand emerged black flame. The black flame instantly covers Fyatt's whole body.
Fyatt screams in pain. Valeanor, still held Fyatt's wrist. His eyes looked cold towards little body that covered by fire.
"Valeanor stop, pull back your fire" Celeste shouted. But Valeanor ignoring him
Celeste want to get close, but he know it's impossible to tame the black flame
Soon, the fire vanished without any traces. Valeanor still heldFyatt's wrist, which now turned black like charcoal. Then Valeanor withdraw his hand, and Fyatt's body collapsing onto the floor, turn into ashes.
"Why? Why you must do that?" Celeste said so sadly
"I just don't want him bring us a big trouble in the future" Valeanor replied with coldly voice
Odin really shocked. And sadly, Odin was unable to prevent. He knew his power would not be able to extinguish the black flame.
'Why Valeanor had this power?' Odin thought
"Celeste, take the ashes of the young man, give him a decent burial" Odin said
Celeste order his guards to collect Fyatt's ashes
But suddenly, Valeanor walking and wagging his coat. His act make the ashes spreading to everywhere. Now mostly Fyatt's ashes been lost
Celeste and Odin could only stare silently.
Finally, with some difficulty, Celeste guards collected the remaining ashes.
The audiences whispering so loudly
Odin gives a signal for everyone to be quiet, and the event will continue again
The banquet begins, Odin and Fringga sitting with Celeste
Valeanor sat with the other guest. His presence gave a different aura. The other guests also have beautiful faces, but no one is as perfect as Valeanor.
Valeanor seems bored. He didn't care about his surroundings.
"Hey, did you see him? Too bad let him just sat alone. Who want to approach him? "Thor whispered to Loki and his friends.
"He seems very attractive, but I just feel he can kill me instantly if I get too close to him" Volstagg replied
"You saw his ability before, even AllFather just stayed silently" Volstagg continued his words
"You're such a coward" Thor mocked
"So why don't you give it a try, Thor?" Loki said
"Err, Me?"Thor replied nervously
"Yes, of course you, who else" Fandral said impatient
"Hey, look. Someone approaching him" Loki whispered
A man was approaching Valeanor. He's taking a seat next to Valeanor, and trying to start a little conversation. But Valeanor just give him a sharp look. The man looks so nervous, and he stopped speak at all. And then, Valeanor is smiling in very creepy way. The man decide to leave Valeanor as soon as possible.
"The man did a big failure" Fandrall said
Thor has a debate with his friends. About who will dare to make the first move. Loki not interested with their debate
Loki still watching Valeanor carefully, but suddenly his eyes meet with Valeanor's eyes
'Damn, he realize' Loki felt uncomfortable
Valeanor was looking deeply into Loki's eyes. It feels like want to suck out Loki's soul.
"Hey, Loki. Loki. Loki to Asgard" Thor shouted to Loki's ears
"What's the matter with you?" Thor asked
"Nothing" Loki lied
"We have a serious debate here, but you just keep silent. What's wrong with you?" Thor grumbled
"Oh, really Thor? I think I don't care about your stupid debate right now"
"Hey, he's leaving this place" Fandral said
Valeanor, walk pass the other guests, to the door lead to garden.
"So what we do now?"Volstagg asked his friends
"Hey, what are all of you talking about?" Sif said suddenly.
She standing behind them and looking them suspicious.
"We were just talking about little stuff" Fandral smiled awkwardly
Sif looks incredulously
"AllFather call you, Thor, he wants you immediately into his place" Sif told Thor
"Guys, we'll continue this later, okay" Thor sounds little bit disappointed
With Thor gone, there's no reason for Loki to still stick with Fandral and Vosltagg. Loki also left the place
But somehow, Loki still has curiosity about Valeanor. Without, he realize it, his footsteps take him to the park.
Loki looked round looking for the presence of Valeanor. He stepped through the maze of trees. Suddenly Loki's footsteps stopped. He found someone he's looking for. Valeanor is sitting on a bench inside a beautiful gazebo.
Loki's watching Valeanor from a distance, hiding among tress. He really not wanted his presence known.
Valeanor is reading a book in peace. Apparently he liked the quietness of the place. The wind blows softly blew Valeanor long black hair. He's stroking his hair with his long fingers. It's make Loki's heart beating fast
"Why don't you sit down to join me?" A voice whispered to Loki ears. Loki shocked, he's looking around, but there is no one behind him.
"Is it only my imagination?" Loki thought
Loki's turned his head again to see Valeanor. But this time, his eyes meet with Valeanor's eyes.
Valeanor's looking at him and smiling. And then he's patting his hand to the empty space next to him. His was inviting Loki to sit with him
Loki felt so nervous. In one hand, he would love to know more about Valeanor. But in the other hand, he felt some intimidating aura from Valeanor. But he's braving himself, and approaching toward Valeanor
Loki, finally is taking seat next to Valeanor. Actually, He tried to cover up his feelings. Usually this is his specialty, but maybe not this time.
"You're Loki Odinson, right?" Valeanor asked with soft voice.
"How did you know?" Loki tried calm
"You want to know?" Valeanor smiled coldly
"No" Loki replied shortly
Suddenly, Valeanor is touching Loki hands with his long fingers. He is tracing Loki's hand. Loki feel a warm touch that makes his heartbeat getting louder.
"You possess really a beautiful skin. Cold skin like ice"
Then Valeanor is squeezing hard Loki hand. And the color of Loki's palm is turning into blue.
"Oh my, what a beautiful color" Valeanor said with passionate
"What are you doing with me?" Loki shocked
Loki is trying to pull his hand from Valeanor, but Valenaor still gripping his hand tightly
The blue color is spreading to other parts of Loki's body. Now, Loki's face also become blue like his hand
Valeanor release Loki's hand. Slowly the blue color fade away, back to white pale
"Did you poison me?"
"What magic is this?"
"There is no magic from me " Valeanor smirked
"But you changed my skin color" Loki said angrily
"Poor Loki, I just show your original color" Valeanor said
"What do you mean?"
Valeanor is moving his face closely to Loki's face. His black eyes, which were like a dark creepy night sky, looking deeply into Loki's eyes
"Don't you ever feel you are different from others, from the Asgardian?"
"Don't you feel different from your brother?"
"He looks like a sun, but you just a moon"
"Your father and mother, they are more often praised your brother, Thor"
"Everyone in Asgard adore Thor not you"
"You're only a trouble, a loner in their eyes"
"Your father already determined his successor, Thor. Why not you? "
"You know Thor, he just using his muscle and brute, but they're more like him than you"
"You'll never get a chance to be King of Asgard"
"In your heart you know, that here is not your place"
"They will never choose you"
"Do you know why? Because you are Jotun, you are a FrostGiant "
"Half Jotun, I believe. That's why you can change your blue skin into white skin"
Loki is moving his body backwardly. He is feeling very uncomfortable. He's get a cold sweat, and his heart pounding really fast
"Liar. You put your spell in my head" Loki said hardly
"Why do not you ask your father and mother?" Valeanor smiled sinister
"You lie, lie" Loki shouted loudly
Loki is trying to walk away from Valeanor. But, His efforts prevented by Valeanor.
Valeanor holding Loki's arm, and pulling Loki closer to him
"Look into yourself, Loki. You've a dark soul just like mine" Valeanor whispered
Valeanor kissing Loki's lips passionately. Loki can't resist, moreover he want more
Suddenly there is a noise disturb their good moment
"Valeanor" Celeste said firmly
Valeanor turned his head to the source of the voice. Celeste, Odin and Thor are standing at the stair, and looked so upset
"Apparently we have disturbers" Valeanor whispered to Loki whose face was deathly pale
Loki did not expect he will discovered with these conditions.
"Valeanor, it's time to go home" Celeste said
"Loki. Come here my son" Odin summoned Loki
Loki release himself from Valeanor. He walks away, go to Odin's place
But his act cancelled by Valeanor. Valeanor grabbing Loki's hand again
Valeanor kissing Loki's back hand
"We'll continue later, my beautiful sweet prince" Valeanor whispered softly
Loki feeling pain on his back hand, like his hand burned
Loki is quickly withdrawing his hand from Valeanor. Loki is going to Odin's place
Valeanor just smiling, watching Loki walking away from him
Odin took away Loki from that place. Thor followed them
Celeste still looking silently to Valeanor
Everything happen today, will never forgotten by Loki
All words whispered by Valeanor, will be haunting him into his dream.
Loki did not dare to ascertain directly to Odin. He'll need to find another way to go to Jotunheim, without using Bifrost
'I'm Son of Odin. I'm Prince of Asgard. Or maybe not?'
Loki sinking to his complex minds
