Author's Note: Hey guys! This is just a note for most readers who were wondering about what happened to the original sequel story. My answer is that I deleted it because I was not happy with the overall concept of it and I wanted to start over with a new concept I have come up 3 days ago. I made a lot of effort on this so please let me know what you think. I hope you all enjoy. :)
Prologue: Origins of the God of Mischief
Loki's Pov:
Odin. He was the god of wisdom, poetry, death, divination, and magic. Most mythologists say that Odin was the Son of Bor and Bestla, the first beings ever existed before the universe was created. Odin created the Nine worlds and ruled over one of them, which is Asgard. He married the Goddess of Sky, Frigga, and formed a family of his own. Odin divided Asgard into 12 realms and gave the rule to his children. Thor was the god of thunder and the son of Odin. He was a well-respected god and so along with the other gods and goddesses. Well...except for one. Loki, the god of mischief and the foster brother of Odin. He was feared for his causes of chaos and conflict in the world but his life was taken by Víðarr, God of Vengeance.
Why does this relate to me? Well, let me tell you. I was born after the Norse god himself. Mother said I was something special. No, I wasn't. I was a curse. A curse that needed to dispose of. Villagers feared me as they believe that one day I would bring chaos to their homes. So I had to be destroyed.
I was 16 when my mother died. That time, she had me ready to go out in the woods for me to be safe from the villagers. I tried to protest her request but she didn't want to take no as an answer.
Mother: "Run. Never come back from here. Don't come back to me."
Loki: "NO! I won't leave you, Mama!"
Mother was about to speak but the roaring noises of angry villagers were heard from the outside. They were waiting for me to show up so they can kill me.
Mother: "Promise me that you will live for me."
Loki: "Mama, I-"
Mother: "Promise me."
Tears were swelling up from my eyes as I realized that I had to make the hardest decision of my life. I hugged her as it will be the last time that I would have this from her. I went to the secret pathway of our house and ran to the outside with no plans of stopping. As I finally reach to the hills, I saw the villagers burning down my house. I can hear my mother's agonizing scream and it tore my heart apart. I was the reason for her death. I was indeed...a curse. I turn around to travel at the depths of the woods. I swore to myself that I would return to that place and I will make sure they get the deaths they deserve.
It's been two weeks since the death of my mother. I have been staying in the woods for so long. It has become a shelter for me but it doesn't mean I am safe here. There were times I encounter some predators here and I have to run for my safety. But my main issue is that I am suffering from a shortage of resources. I was becoming thin, malnourished, and hungry. I need to find somewhere else to get food or I will die from starvation.
While I was hunting, I heard cries. Cries outside of the woods. It sounded like cries from a girl. She must be endangered! I have to help her! I ran to the woods to follow the sound of the cries. When I was out, I already found out where the cries were coming from. A young anthro lioness was surrounded by a gang of 3 hyenas. They were going to hurt her.
Young Lioness: "Please...leave me alone!"
Hyena: "You should have thought about the consequences of stepping to our territory, young lady."
Young Lioness: "I'm sorry! I did not know!"
Hyena: "A little too late for that now."
The lioness continues to cry as she knew what was going to happen. She is gonna die. But I won't let that happened. I grabbed a stone and threw it at one of the hyenas.
Hyena: "OW!"
The hyena yelped in pain when he felt a stone hit on his head. The hyenas turn around to my direction and see my armed with a sharpened wooden spear.
Hyena 1: "A human? Here?"
Hyena 2: "Hey kid! You lost or something?"
Loki: "Leave her alone..."
Hyena 3: "Hahaha! You got some guts kid. Beat it before we change our minds."
Loki: "Not until you leave her alone."
Hyena 1: "last chance, kid! Beat it or get hurt."
Loki: "Make me."
Growing annoyed from my refusal, The hyenas' attention was on me now. It was me who is now in trouble but I don't care anymore. As long as the Lioness is safe.
Loki: "Want a piece of me? Come and get it!"
I threw another stone in the air as a distraction. When their attention was on the stone. I quickly made my way to the one of the Hyenas and swiped his feet with my wooden spear, which made the hyena trip in the ground. The other two were growling at me. I looked at the Lioness, who gave me the worried look.
Loki: "GO! Get out of here!"
Lioness: "But you'll get hurt!"
Loki: "Your safety is the main priority."
Lioness: "But-"
Loki: "GO!"
The lioness was about to protest again but the growling of the hyenas scared her so much. She glanced at me one more time before nodding and ran as far away from here. She did not turn back at all. That's good. She knows what is good for her.
Hyena 1: "Boy, we gave you a chance but since you are too stubborn, we won't be so polite."
Loki: "With all due respect, letting you kill an innocent girl is not written in the cards."
Hyena 1: "We don't have time for this. Kill him!"
The hyenas charged on me with their own sets of weapons such as swords, axes, and spears. Chances of survival are slim but I'll take those odds. When they were close to me, I just dodge all there swings and attacks, trying me best not get cut in half. Boy! I'm that fast!
Loki: "Is that all you got?"
I was mocking their miserable attempts to beheading me. I had fun watching them struggle to keep up with my fast pace. But I was caught off guard by a Hyena in my back. He hit me in the back of the head with the hilt of his sword. I got knocked down in the ground and my head was feeling painful and numb. That was a very hard blow.
Hyena 2: "End of the line, Human!"
He raises his sword, preparing to behead me. I was too weak to fight back. Well, I just had to accept my fate then. I waited for the pain to come but instead something else happened. A roar of a lion was heard. A group of adult lionesses, armed with their spears, ambushed the hyenas. They were being outnumbered by them. I heard footsteps approaching me. When I look around, It was the lioness that I saved earlier.
Lioness: "Please, stay with me! Your safe now!"
Those were the last words I heard before the world around went into complete darkness and I finally embrace it.
Sudden pain in my head woke me up from sleep. I woke up to find myself in a den filled with Lionesses. I was about to scream out of terror when one of the lionesses spoke to me.
Lioness: "Relax. You're still recovering from your injuries."
I rubbed my head, feeling the bandage wrapped within it. That dirty bastard hit while I was distracted.
Loki: "Where am I?"
Lioness: "You're in the Outlands, my boy."
A lioness approaches me. She was wearing torn brownish clothing with bone shoulder plates. She must be a leader. Her eyes were devilish red and have pure negative emotions with it.
Loki: "W-who are you?"
Zira: "The name is Zira. And you be?"
Loki: "Loki."
Zira: "Loki? As in the Norse god of mischief?"
I growled at the title 'God of mischief'. I was feared because of some thought of me as the reincarnation of the god himself.
Loki: "No. I am not that person. I'm just...misunderstood."
Zira: "I see."
Loki: "Are you the leader here?"
Zira: "That I am, my boy."
She looked at the rest of the lionesses around here. He knew why he was rescued. not out of kindness but to be interrogated.
Loki: "Why did you rescue?"
Zira: "What you did is something we can't repay. You saved my daughter, Vitani. She is safe because of you. Thank you."
Before I could reply, I saw Vitani making her way to me. She had the biggest smile on her face and to be honest, Its kinda cute.
Vitani: "Thank you for saving me."
Loki: "I thank you too for saving mine."
Zira: "You should probably rest for a while. We'll talk more later."
All of the Lioness left the den, leaving all alone in the bed. I lay down and close my eyes as Fell to deep sleep. I'm gonna need all my energy for later.
