Awakening (kakusei)
Being a child, Loki mused, wasn't always such a bad thing. When you looked small and cute, you could get your way pretty damn often and usually without magic (always a bonus). Shopkeepers took pity on you. This meant free food. If you got hurt, people flocked to see if you were okay. Girls swarmed to you and drowned you in attention. Always a good thing.
Yet, Loki hated it. He hated being so small. So limited. It was hard to really be taken seriously when you looked like you weren't even in highschool yet. And then there was the magic.
His magic was severely limited as a child. Barely able to create fire or even summon, he felt so restricted. He wanted to scream and lash out, to take violent revenge on Odin who had done this to him. Made him sleep inside himself for apparent eternity. Loki wasn't even sure he was quite the trickster God he had once been. It was as though his true self lay dormant and asleep.
'No doubt waiting for a chance to bring about Ragnarok', he laughed bitterly.
oOo
Notes: Loki has been with roughly six goddesses; Sigyn, Angrboda, Tyr's unnamed wife, Freyja, Sif and possibly Frigg. There was also Svadilfari, the horse with which he had Sleipnir but I don't think I want to go into that…
