Loki was bored. Scandinavia was nice while it lasted but it had definitely become boring. All the action would soon be taking place in the colonies. There were still a few years yet before things really got going over there. Well there was that missing Roanoke colony but Loki wasn't going to think about that. Besides he had made sure to send them all to a tropical paradise in the middle of the South Pacific. But the English were gearing up for another try.
Loki had made up his mind to go to what would one day be America and had only come to England to say a fond farewell to Balthazar. It was Balthazar who told him of the expedition being headed by Captain Christopher Newport. Loki decided than and there that he would sail across rather than just teleport.
Loki settled his bag over his shoulder and looked up at the three ships getting ready to depart. It had just been a lark to sign on with the crew under Captain Christopher Newport and he was fully planning on taking a berth on the Sarah Constant but he had changed his mind when he reached the dock. As soon as his eyes fell on the third ship Loki knew it was where he should berth. The Brigantine was more than a ship, it was a sign from Father.
Loki made his way up the plank of the Godspeed with a smile. He quickly dropped his gear and jumped right into the preparations to set sail looking around at the men he was sharing the space with. The excitement was contagious.
Loki looked around at the intrepid souls ready to sail off into the unknown of the New World. These three ships were about to undertake a dangerous voyage to the Virginia Coast. Loki knew very well just how dangerous the open ocean could be for humans. But these humans were sailing on a ship named for Father they deserved a little assistance.
Having Loki on board meant these Settlers were in better hands than they knew. Of course having a former pirate in command of the voyage helped also, even if the pirating was done 'legally' under letters of Marque from the government.
Oddly enough for the settlers supply stops were always successful. Crews going ashore quickly found fresh water, fruit and hunted animals to keep everyone healthy for the voyage.
The ships doctors were fully prepared to deal with seasickness among the landlubbers who thought crossing the ocean was a great idea, and were surprised when the rails of the ships remained clear of miserable souls wretching their innards overboard into the briny deep.
And if the little trio of ships manged to sail a couple hundred miles off course avoiding a raging hurricane. Well it was just all the more reason for everyone to Praise God.
Then came the day when they sighted land. 104 men cheered at finally reaching their destination, the New World. One man stood in the background with a smile on his face. Snapping his fingers quietly he changed the name of Newport's ship from Sarah Constant to Susan Constant and disappeared.
A/N: If you haven't read Butterfly Effect 3, Loki/Gabriel is responsible for the disappearance of the Roanoke Colony, he snapped them all to a tropical island and left the mysterious "Coatoan" carved on a tree. So here Loki makes up for it by sailing on the initial voyage to Jamestown. Captain Christopher Newport was a real person in command of the three ships making the Voyage. The Susan Constant, which was commanded by Newport was the largest of the ships although there is evidence that we've had the name of the ship wrong all these years. The ship is listed on some Documents and the Sarah Constant. The two other ships that made the voyage were the Godspeed and the smallest of the ships the Discovery. I just had to make the confusion about the name of Newport's ship another of Loki's little harmless pranks.
