The Italic print is the flash back


What really Happened

Everyone was back at the palace, ready for part 2 of this court thing that is coming to no result. Taking their seats (and standing spots in Loki's case) the King rose and caught everyone's attention.
"Before our supper break, Loki claimed that the Council has things they must speak about. What might they be?" He looked at each of the men's faces. They all glanced at each other, worried for what they have been thrown into. Loki turned to the Council men, addressing to them.

"Each and every one of you has things you have done to wrong me, just so you know. When I was but a child, rumours started not of the children but immature adults. Rumours that cause children emotions they do not need at the age; Loneliness is for out aging most, unwanted is for one of an evil life which I did not have then. You can obviously see where I'm heading with this." Loki looked to everyone in the room but again back to the older men.

"As I aged and became more involved with stronger and darker magic, but also involved in a woman's life. We had three children which you each disposed of as you willed. Hela, my only daughter was banished to Niflheim. Jormungand is cursed to the bottom of Midgard's oceans, and Fenrir was beaten and chained down. I was unaware of all this for I was out saving your ass." Loki pointed to Thor. The men whispered between themselves.

"Your children were the living embodiments of evil. We had to stop it before it began." The youngest of the elders announced. Loki chuckled at their stupidity, which he was quite used to now.

"Everyone hates a Frost Giant, let alone a Giantess. I was hated for my magic although I guess I am a Frost Giant as well. Two of your most hated things get together and have offspring. Why wouldn't you try and get rid of us with a simple, yet believable lie." The misunderstood prince smirked in victory. He turned to Odin and instead of continuing instantly; he sat down, cross legged on the floor, tired of standing for such a long time in one day. "Allfather, I'm sure we all remember my wife Sigyn, correct?" The king nodded in response. "I didn't leave her years ago because I didn't love her; I left her because if I stayed they would have killed her and my other son right under our noses." He face went dark remembering that dreadful day.


*FLASH BACK*

It was a warm sunny day in Asgard, like usual. Loki was having his daily visit with his wife Sigyn and his two sons Narfi and Vali. He couldn't live with them because he had to keep track of Thor and being a Prince he had to stay in the palace. Sigyn loved her country home anyways so it worked out.

Out in the fields at the back of the house were a father and two children, bonding. They tackled each other, even if the 6 foot man tripped himself for his son's enjoyment. Hours pass of roughhousing play. Their father had to leave early today though; the eldest prince requested his brother's presence on his next adventure to Alfheim. The boys continued to play while he said goodbye to his wife.

He was about 200 feet away from the house when he heard a terrible scream. It startled him, never has he heard a noise quite like it coming from the house! Loki ran as fast as his feet could carry him; he ran around back to see his children being held back by men of a much older age.

"What do you want with us? You have no right of being here." Loki explained to the men. Right then Sigyn came out to see what the commotion was about. Her husband motioned for her to leave, to get back in the house. She did after a worried yet confused stare at each man's face.

Two men snuck behind the prince before he realised. They held back his arms and placed something on them, bonds? They quickly backed away as he strained to break free. It was containing his magic. He watched as his sons faces turned to shear horror, tears streaking down their cheeks. He stopped struggling and tried verbal now.

"What do you plan on doing? Asgard knows who they are; don't even think of pulling another of those stunts of yours. I'll be sure to tear each of your heads off with my bare hands if you touch ANYONE of my family." They laughed at how serious he has gotten. One man walked in front of his youngest son, Vali. With a few words of an ancient language and a few movements of his hands, the young boy began to glow, a dark shadow forming around him. Vali fell to his knees grunting and yelling in pain. His body formed into that of a wolf.

The man stepped out of the beasts' way. One man buckled Loki's legs so he fell down. They held his charcoal hair forcing him to watch. The wolf's eyes ripped opened, blood shot and menacing. It arched its back and let out a horrifying growl. The men holding Narfi pushed the boy resulting in him stumbling and looking like great prey for the rabid wolf.

The canine dashed at his brother, teeth showing. Loki attempted to run and save them both but was stopped by an invisible force. The men laughed at him. The creature pounced at the 9 year old boy. The wolf's razor sharp claws dug into the soft skin of the child and pushing him to the ground. Narfi screamed in pain now trying to shove the canine off his scrawny body.

"NARFI!" Loki yelled at the top of his lungs. With his teeth clenched and his body filled with anger. "You better stop what you're doing right now! You will regret every moment of your pathetic lives if you continue this madness." Loki took only glances over at the Council men.

Narfi was pinned. The wolf now began digging its fangs into the stomach of the boy. Yelling in agonizing pain, you could hear him plead his brothers' name. Blood covered the muzzle of his deformed brother. It had torn the black haired boys' innards, out. Narfi was motionless. He gasped for air and tried to gain what little strength was leaving him.

The council men realised Loki of the restraint but kept the magic bonding cuffs on. The father ran for his sons, tears welding up in his emerald eyes. The wolf backed off. Reverse of turning in to the creature, he was now a young 7 year old boy. His body was stained of his brothers' blood. The elder men laughed at the tragic scene they created.

Loki was leaning over Narfi's body. Vali had crawled over, struggling to hold his body up for he was trembling like an earthquake.

"Narfi, stay awake! You can't sleep now." The prince's pale hands were shaking as he rubbed the sweaty and blood filled hair of his son. His voice was shaky. "Everything is going to be okay." It was directed at Narfi but it was for his reassurance in reality. Vali cried out loud, holding his brother's hand. Loki stood, wiping the tears off his face.

He turned to the men who had enough and were mounting their horses. They began to ride away and Loki chased after them. One of the men snapped his fingers and the cuffs disappeared. Before Loki could launch any spell in their direction he heard Sigyn in a full fit cry. He should get them back, but right now his family needed him.


They properly buried their eldest son, weeping at the grave the fell asleep in each other's arms. As the warm rays of the sun came up, the heat awoke the black haired prince. Dread passed over him. He shook Sigyn.
"Honey, wake up. I need you to go inside. Vali's missing." Sigyn darted up off her husband's shoulder. Wasn't it Narfi who had died just a few hours ago? She ran inside to find her son but he was nowhere to be seen.

Loki knew something came over his son. He dreaded that he would do something they would greatly regret. He ran for his son's favourite spot, a rock hanging off a cliff leading to a rocky abyss. How Ironic.

Of course that's where he found Vali. The boy was standing on the edge; tear streaked face, with more forming in his eyes. Loki slowed his pace not wanting to startle the shocked kid.

"Vali…" He said in a quietly calm tone with a hit of worry. He wasn't really going to jump, was he?

"d-d-dad?!" Vali replied not expecting anyone, sobbing. "I'm g-going to d-do it…" He stuttered his sentence not convincing the prince one bit but anything can change.

"May I come up?" Loki asked wanting to comfort the young child. With a shrug of the shoulders, he crawled up. He sat beside the boy and patted beside him for his son to join him, which he did.

"Why would you do this?" The father asked.
"I have no reason to live dad. I killed my brother, I couldn't control myself. I don't want that to happen again."

"It's not your fault Vali. The council have been evil since they were born; they manipulated you to do this. Do not blame yourself. Narfi wouldn't want this, you know that." He was rubbing his son's back now holding him in a loving embrace. Vali pushed Loki off him and stood rising above his father.

"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO KILL YOUR BROTHER! OR ANYONE INFACT!" He yelled in frustration. Loki sighed.

"Son, calm down... I have killed people before, and I'm not proud of it but sometimes it had to be done. My brother has fallen by my hand…"

"Uncle Thor is still alive though..."

"Not Uncle Thor. I'm talking about a younger brother you would have never of met. His name was Baldr." He told his son of what had happened; teaching him of life's mistakes you can't change. His son had so much to learn. And so did his father. They held each other in a hug, his son sobbing on his chest.

He rubbed his hand along Vali's back in a soothing way. Little did Vali know, Loki was reciting a spell in his mind, one he thought he would never use especially on his own son. Within a few seconds Vali's mind had been erased. All he could remember was his mother Sigyn and who he was. Once the spell was complete Vali raised his head confused on who was holding him. He leaned back, pushing himself out of Loki's arms.

"Who are you? Where am I? Where is my mother?" The boy questioned almost instantly.

"Vali, you are just outside the borders that your mother gave you, she sent me to come and fetch you." Vali thought for a moment and spoke more demanding than before.

"I'll ask again, who are you?" Loki chuckled.

"I'm a royal guard from the palace and I take care of you and your mother on occasions. My name is Ikol." He smiled at the boy although his eyes didn't spark the joy they once had. How could they, he can't even be his boy's father without something going wrong.


Once Vali was convinced, they both walked back to where Sigyn was waiting impatiently. At first glance of them homecoming she ran for them. He explained what was to be for now on, he would visit to check on things but to be known now as Ikol. She was furious at him. She complained a reasonable argument but even if he is leaving it all on her to take care of the boy, he cannot risk their lives, not again. Being told that she doesn't want to see him again and slapping him across the face out of anger, turned and slammed the door.

Loki was dumbfounded. It went so fast. Within a day, Narfi was killed and buried, Vali has no memories and Sigyn has left him for his own. Sighing he turned to leave but before long he could feel the sting at the back of his eyes, he knew why he was going to cry but could he let himself. He starred up to the sky that was once sunny and now fitting the mood, filling with clouds of rain. He slowly dragged himself back to his room in the palace where he stayed undisturbed for 3 days.


A/N: I hope this will help with some background. I'm sorry again for the extreamlly late update.

I have one question: Should I update more often with shorter chapters or update less with longer chapters?

(P.S. There is this new tv series on the History channel called "Vikings". It's an awesome show. now the character Floki is awesome too but what's Ironic is that the actors' father is Stellan Skarsgard, Eric Selvig from Thor and the Avengers! huh...)

Last but not least, I really love reviews, they inspire me to continue! Feel free to through in requests and suggestions! and don't be afraid to review/comment on each chapter, i love to reply! and with that I'm off, for now :)
