Phantom Thief and the hawk

A week after Night started living at Loki's home, he meet another deity from Norse mythology. It was none other than the guardian of the gates to Asgard, Heimdall! He accidentally bumped into the god while walking down the street.


"Watch where you're going!" snarled Heimdall.

"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."

"Whatever…"

"What's your name kid?" asked Night.

"Higashiyama Kazumi," answered Heimdall.

"Nice try. What's your real name?"

Heimdall was startled at what Night said. How did this boy know that Kazumi wasn't his actual name?!

"What's your name?!"

"I'm Night."

"You can call me Heimdall."

Night gave him a strange look and said, "Mind if I call you hawk-boy instead?"

"How do you…?"

"I live with an immature Trickster," answered Night.

"You share the same house as Loki?!"

"Don't even get me started…"


In the park, Heimdall was having a lively chat with his new friend Night.

"So you woke him up by throwing water on him?!" said Heimdall laughing.

"Yamino said I could wake him up; he didn't specify how to wake the Trickster up. You should have seen his face when I dumped the water on him! It was priceless!" laughed Night evilly.

"Why did Loki take you in anyway?" asked Heimdall.

"Probably because I used him in an alias of mine…"

"What alias?"

"Have you heard of the Phantom Thief Loki?"

"Who hasn't…I've wondered why Loki started stealing things!"

"That was me. I play tricks on others while I'm stealing artwork so I used him as an alias. Kinda apt if you think about it…"

"So true…" muttered Heimdall.


They finally realized half an hour later that they had been talking until it became dark. Night started back towards Loki's house when Heimdall turns and says, "If you want to confuse Loki, tell him that you were talking to a hawk and lost track of time."

"So you want me to refer to you as Hawk whenever Loki is around?" asked Night.

"I'd prefer it if you did…"

"Guess I'll see you later, Hawk!"


"Night where were you?!" exclaimed Loki.

"I spent the whole day talking to a Hawk and completely lost track of time. Sorry…" grumbled Night.

"You were talking to a hawk all day? You never said anything about being able to talk to birds…" said Loki.

"You don't want to know…"

The next encounter with the Norse deities would shake Night up considerably.
