Chapter 2-Revelation
A/N Hello there. Here is the next chapter! First of all I want to thank Discreetly Gleeful, Ahxnahiss, Lacus01 and Queen Morigan who left a review. I hadn't thought that so many people would leave their opinion. Thank you. I also want to thanks the people who are following my FF or put it under their favourite. It means a lot to me! I forgot to write it in the last chapter, but this story will often be related with the north myths and I will try to show the misunderstanding of Lokis character.
Just to be said, you won't see the connection between the first and second chapter. The explanation for chapter one will come later. Anyway, have fun reading!
I blink a few times, but everything is blurred. Dim sounds are reaching my ears, but I can't really grab the meaning off them. It's like a fish that is flipping out of my grabs every time I hold him. Now I hear a cry full off pain, desolation and sorrow. I don't know why, but a part from me wants to reach out to the feminine voice and tell her that everything is alright, but I can't. I'm paralyzed. Frozen. Slowly I can make out three shadows. One is sitting on something that remembers me of a throne and the two others are at the bottom of the stairs. The voices are getting louder and louder. There seem to fight over something, but I don't know about what. I can't hear anything. Then the feminine looking shadow turns around and runs to me. She looks into my eyes and I think she cries. Why does she cry? Why do I feel so bad about that? Stop. Don't cry. You don't need to. I want to say these words so badly, but I can't.
My lips are sealed. She grabs my black tunica and shakes me. The world around me begins to spin around. Her lips are forming a silent scream. Then there are forming my name. They are begging that I say something, but I can't. Then the other shadow puts a hand on her shoulders and shakes the head. My heart feels like it was crushed into million off tiny pieces. She brushes my cheek with her warm hand. This movement is so bittersweet. I pray that it lasts forever, but then she takes her hands away and leaves. She leaves with the other shadow. There's a flash and then I see everything clearly. I am in the golden throne room off Asgard. I see how my brother opens the door for the crying Frigga and something in me breaks again. I didn't know this was even possible. Don't give the hope up on me. Please, don't leave me. I feel so lost. Show me the way into the light. Frigga, mother, mother! I try to say all this, but I can't. I see how she leaves the room without looking back once! She gave up. It hurts so badly. I feel like my eyes are filling themselves with tears, but I can't shed them.
Thor, don't leave me to. My brother that never gave up the hope on me looks at me. A split of a second long I think that he will see all the hurt in my eyes, but then he turns around. Thor, no, do not leave. Thor, please! Brother! Nothing. Nothing left my lips, so he leaves. The golden door closes behind him. Then slowly, like the wind that is getting stronger and stronger, a deep laugh emerge and fills the room. That laugh breaks the seal. Tears are beginning to roll down my cheeks and are falling to the ground. I look how they vanish after a few seconds. They vanish, like my mother and my brother. "Why?", my question is muffled by the muzzle. "Ahh, the spell broke", says a deep voice. I look at the allfather. This was his doing? What is going on here? "I think I will free you from the muzzle. I put a spell in this room so no one overhears our lovely conversation, before I chose it." He explains. After these words left his lips the muzzle falls and vanish before it reach the ground. I want to move, but I can't. I am frozen.
"What is going on? What happened?" The questions are tumbling out of my mouth. So much about the silver tongue. "What is the last thing you remember, son!" He asks. I try not to shout that I am not his son. Instead I press my teeth together and explain irritated: "I found out I was not your "son". Then you fell in the Odin sleep and I shouted for medical aid." "Then, dear son, let me show you what you have forgotten", Odin says grinning amused. He knocks with his sceptre four times on the ground and then pictures appear in the room. I look at them and open my mouth in disbelieve. I see how I take the place of my father and how I tell my Thor that his father is dead. I look away and feel guilty. Guilty, that I betrayed the trust of Thor. True to be said I never wanted my "brother" banished. I was taken aback by the reaction of my father. My trick didn't work out the way it should have. I look away. I can't see this picture! But then I see a new picture and I can't look away. I see how I am fighting on the rainbow coloured brige named Befrost against Thor. How I don't want to give up. I am completely eaten up by the darkness. I only think of revenge. Then I see how I fall into the darkness. My legs are trembling. "What have I done?" The Allfather laughs and answers: "Much worser!"
I can't believe my ears. I close my eyes so that I can't see more memories. I hear rustling of cloth and then I feel a warm hand on my cheek. "Open your eyes!", Odin says. I shake my head. "I don't want to." I am afraid off the pictures of what I have done. "You don't have a choice." I gulp. He knocks one time with his sceptre and my eyes are fluttering open. I can't even blink. New pictures appear on the golden walls. It's a dark room and there is a strong magical force. I storm in and kill everybody that is in the way to the immense force. I hypnotised the persons that I didn't kill and left with them.
If I weren't paralyzed I would have fallen on my knees. I killed humans. I killed them without any hesitation. My thoughts must have been written all over my face then Odin said gleefully: "Yes, you killed your precious worthless humans. The scums who you brought the fire. Even though they thought later you were Lucifer, a demon, a monster. You never gave up the hope on them. You showed them how to make nets to fish fishes. You showed them the civilisation, but did they ever thank you?" "No, they didn't, that is true. That hurt me, because they always thanked Thor or you, but never me. Still, I would not kill them because of this!"
The picture changes and now there is a big City that is getting destructed by strange Aliens. Chitoris, now I remember their name. That is the prove that this are really my memories. The prove that I did all this awful things. And beside them is no other then me. People are shouting, are worried, are dying and it doesn't seem to bother me at all. But in all this destruction, the agony, the pain, there are still some people that are fighting. They are fighting for the safety of their people. For every shadow it needs a light. They are fighting pround, without hesitation. There is Thor, Ironman, the Hulk, Captain America, Hawkeye and Blackwidow. They are fighting against me. I feel relieved. They could stop me. Hopefully they stopped me before I destroy the hole city named Manhattan. Abruptly the picture change and I see how Hulk is smashing me into the ground again and again. I feel how every colour is living my face and my stomach makes some flips. Then, I feel relieved. They stopped me! Thank Odin. Odin, wait something doesn't feel right. I would never do something like this. "You… You cursed me!" This is the only explication.
"Yes, dear son, I did", is his response. I feel like I am falling. Falling into the abyss. "When?" "When you touched me my curse came onto you", Odin explains proundly. "This curse sealed all the positive things, so that just the negative things were left in your mind. No joy, no fun, just sadness and rage. Isn't it, Allfather?" I ask afraid of the answer. Odin grins and answers: "Yes, you got it. All this anger, hate and fear was in you. I just help you to free it." Again tears are rolling down my face. It was me. It was me all the time. It could have been me. God, I am a monster! A dangerous beast, a monster, a demon. "Why?" I ask with trembling voice. "Why did you do this to me?" "For the sake of wisdom. For the sake of the nine realms!", unconsciously he touch his eyepatch. Lokis eyes widen. "Wisdom? I- I do not understand!" "You do not need to, dear son. The only thing that matter now is your sentence: Loki Laufeyson, for all the bad things you did the dead sentence await you. Tomorrow, when the sun is rising you will get burned. Burned by the same flame that you gave the humans a long, long time ago." One part of me wants to throw myself at Odin and kill him, but the other part feels crushed. Dead. I don't mind it anymore. It does not matter anymore. I killed some people. I must get punished. "Guards, bring my son back to his cell!" The door opens and two guards in silver armours are getting in. They take me by my arms and lead me out of the room. I hear how the door closes behind me.
Tomorrow I will die.
A/N That was chapter two. I hope you enjoyed it and I would be really happy for any review.
Explanation:
-Scientists found out that Loki probably wasn't as bad, as most of the people thought. In the 9th century was Loki described as a friendly god and he also brought invention to the humans. Like the fisher net. Loki and Prometheus are quite similar. That's way I also said, that Loki brought the fire. Later Christ's thought he was a demon, because his name sounded like the name of the fire demon "Logi." Lucifer also means the "light bringer." More explanations will follow!
Thanks for reading,
