The Beginning
Hihi, aiyoh here's some background info on the story since u are new-.-"
Four characters: Chaos/Balder---Used to be a God in his past existence and beloved wife was none other than Fenris, The wolf-goddess. His soul was separated from his body when he perished during the fight with Goddess Freya. Now assumes the identity Chaos with no past recollection on what happened, is currently together with Iris Irine, the blessed cleric.
:Iris Irine---A blessed cleric whose family was torn asunder when her half sister, the valkyrie Sara Irine wreaked vengeance upon her village. She is now trying to rid herself of her past by remaining upbeat and happy.
:Fenris Fenrir—A warlock who has remembered that she was the love of Balder in her past existence, the Wolf-goddess Fenris, she has pain-stakingly traveled through time to look for her beloved, only to find that he does not remember a thing and is already with a girl called Iris. Fenris is a strong person, and she continues to stay by Balder/Chaos's side. What fate belies her?
:Loki---Fierce, deadly, dangerously beautiful. The greatest of all assassins has a score to settle with Chaos, whom he believes destroyed the entire assassin's guild. He partakes in their journey with questions for himself he has to answer for. Always on the look-out, this ever-silent assassin is a valuable member to the party. He is described by Fenris as one who is human yet not, as he wields cosmic energy, the power of the universe. What is his role in the epic? Find out…
Anyway, my story takes place somewhere in book 8 where the party of four are thrown overboard a wrecked sky-ship. This part features Loki's confession of his feelings for Fenris after saving her on the ship once. Will sparks fly? Read on and enjoy…(I hope) lolls…
A hand stirred on the ground…
"Gosh, what happened?" Fenris moaned as she struggled to sit up… The sky-ship! Chaos!
Turning around, Fenris half-expected to see Chaos, but instead, she saw someone else…Loki.
He saved me…
Her memory started to collect itself together as she slowly remembered what happened, those horrid rangers who wrecked the ship and what she thought was her last moment in this life had it not been for….Loki… Loki!She almost forgot he was still unconscious. Cradling his head in her lap, she took out her flask of Serapth's Teardrops. "Here Loki, take a sip." As she gently poured some of the life-saving liquid down Loki's throat, he awoke. Blinking those azure eyes a little, a little grimace formed on his face. "Oh… is it THAT bad?" thought Fenris as she recalled Iris's reaction to the liquid during their battle with Bijou.
"I could never quite bring myself to accept the taste of that. Sorry." Loki coughed a little as he recovered. "But, thank you, Fenris." Fenris thought he carried a strange look behind his normally cold-emoted eyes. Looking away, she took a sip of the liquid herself, strange as she thought it tasted okay.
"We ought to get going, Loki. We still have to look for Iris and Chaos, I'll be worried if I do not see them safe for myself.." Chaos…May Frigg bless him to be fine… "Oh, Loki? Thank you for saving me back there on the ship." Fenris smiled a little at the still seemingly dazed assassin.
"Hm. Yes, we should start."
Settling down to camp for the night, Fenris set about preparing for their dinner while Loki went off to hunt for some food after making sure that Fenris would be safe by herself. "Hmm… For someone who had a vengeance to settle with us, he is very protective. How queer…and…why did he save me? He could have protected himself instead…but he risked it to save me…Loki…you're an enigma…" Deciding not to ponder over it too much, Fenris conjured a little fire to start cooking.
Meanwhile, back in the forest, Loki was trying to spot some prey when he thought about the incident back on the ship as well……
Ile Ingates! Take This! Somersault Torpedo! The crazed rangers wrecked the ship in anger because of..well..because of Iris, as always.
"Ahh!"
Fenris's voice!
Loki spun around just in time to see Fenris's face sliding out of view over the broken ship deck. Fenris! Without thinking that, he too, might fall off if he was not careful as well, Loki sped over to the edge. Sticking his knife on what remained of the shipdeck. He reached out his hand, hoping, no, knowing he would catch Fenris before all was gone. As he caught hold of her fragile hand, a surge of emotion sizzled through him, using all his strength, he held on tight. At that moment, their eyes caught each others' and for a moment, Loki thought he saw something he couldn't quite describe behind Fenris's beautiful eyes which would normally carry a tinge of despair…
Why did I save her? Loki thought as yet another deer slipped past him unnoticed. It was out of my responsibility to risk my life for her's. I acted out of character, out of my discipline…but yet…somehow…I actually feel glad now that I saved her…somehow…I feel it was ONLY right to do it at that point in time. "Oh Loki? Thank you for saving me back there at the ship." …Her smile…it intrigues me…I feel something for it…I WANT to see her smile like that…why?.
The first time being confused about anything, Captain Loki, greatest of all assassins, took target on a deer and disappeared into the shadows of the trees…
It was five hours past midnight. It was Fenris's turn to relieve Loki of his night-duty.
"Loki? It's time for u to get some rest, let me." Fenris said as she approached the still, almost invisible form leaning against a tree in the distance. "Hm. Be careful…Goodnight, Fenris". "Goodnight, Loki."… Sighing into the cold night air, Fenris watched the stars from under the oak tree…Balder…no…Chaos…I wonder how you are now…please be safe…
As a tear threatened to spill from the corner of her eye, Fenris wiped it away with a finger,…and started to question, (no one in particular) how things could have turned out like this…Balder, I traveled through time to look for you, yet why do I have to face this? Why do I have to face this truth that you are not who you were anymore? Why do you not remember anything? Why are you with Iris now?... Will you ever come back to me?
"Crack", a twig snapped as Fenris spun around to see the assassin standing behind her.
"Loki?"…."Is anything the matter, Fenris?"… "No, nothing's wrong, you shocked me a little, that's all.",… "Hm."
A creamy flew by in the distance as the two solitary figures stared into the night sky.
"Fenris."
"Yes?"
"Chaos is Chaos now. He will not come back to you anymore." "Do not hurt yourself by pining for him."
"Ho…How…d… did u know?" Fenris gasped in surprise at Loki's sudden outright …advice.
"…", "Because."
"I don't think I need you to tell me what to do Loki, even if you do know what I am thinking." "That… is my problem. And I hope u will keep this to yourself…and stay out of this in future." She was slightly angry at his outright invasion of her private thoughts. Standing up, Fenris walked off a little into the distance to cool herself off.
After a period of awkward silence between the two people, Fenris went back to sit down beside Loki. "Loki? I'm sorry for giving you that kind of treatment earlier…there are so many things going on in my mind lately I…I'm sorry.",… "No. it's ok. It's not your fault."…
"Umm…Loki, can I ask you something?"…"Hm."
"Back at the sky-ship,…wh…why did you save me? You could have died as well…please do not take me wrongly, I mean no offense, in fact, I'm really grateful."…
Nothing could be seen on the assassin's face, as usual, when he replied curtly,…"I do not know.".
"Oh…, anyway, thank you, once again…"
"Watch it!" Loki shouted as he pushed Fenris out of the way of a passing goblin. "Ah!" They rolled down the slope in a tumble as Fenris called out in surprise. "Fenris! Are u alright!"
"I…I'm o…I'm ok…" Fenris flushed slightly at the close contact between them as Loki was ontop of her. Was that concern shown on his face?...As quickly as it came,…it was gone, the assassin's face was now the same as always, calm and unmoving, like a photograph…Except for the fact that he was still atop her…
"Loki…" Fenris was confused, the assassin did not move, but surprisingly, neither did she…As she stared into those deadly eyes…she had never…for a sliver of a second…thought they could be…well, beautiful. "Fenris, I…I wanted to save you. I want to save you from your pain, I don't want to see you suffer in silence every single day, I…I…I'm sorry." He got off her in a fluster when he finally realized the awkwardness that was present between them.
There it is, the feeling again…What is this? Why did I say that? Loki could feel his face heating up as he thought of what just happened… turning into the opposite direction, he dared not face Fenris.
Brushing the dirt of her attire, Fenris too, started to blush at the somewhat intimate contact between them. Praise Frigg…what did Loki mean when he said all that? This was an entirely new side of Loki she had never witnessed before. Could it be… "Rasp!" Fenris gasped as the truth began to dawn on her…
"Fenris, I think….i think I've fallen in love with you.", came the seemingly choked voice of Loki from behind her.
Fenris's eyes widened in complete realization.
