Loki has been stripped of his powers and thrown to Earth. He is found by Deidra Cole, a biology intern. She is either incredibly stupid or incredibly brave, Loki can't determine which, because she looks past his anger and offers her help to survive Earth as a human.

I was his...completely, to the last cell in my body. I was his lover and sister, his mother and daughter, the only shoulder he had to cry on and only body to take his fury on But it still wasn't enough, I wasn't enough...not for everything his mind and heart bore. When he became a monster, he was MY monster, I allowed him to take it all on me. My name is Embla and this is my diary.
