I sighed as I went into my room, with my ring I knew the ring had a lot of promise to do good, and a smaller chance to be used as evil due to the layers enchants on it.

I plopped onto my bed and closed my eyes as I fell into a light sleep.

I woke a few hours later feeling much more refreshed than I have in a while, I went to the library where I found Loki.

Loki said to me, "Brother... did you know?"

I asked him, confused "What do you mean, did I know?"

He sighed, and his body turned blue with red eyes.

"Ah, that, yes, I did know." I replied in a soft tone, I asked him, "When did they tell you?"

Loki sighed and said to me in a soft tone, "Last week, and I have not seen them since then... I have been avoiding both Mother and Father."

I chuckled and asked him, "And what did they tell you, do you mind telling me?"

He sighed and said, "It started a few days or weeks after I was born-"

(Third Person Point of View)

A battle raged on in the world of Jotunheim, the war was costly on both sides, it would seem that Death is on neither side in this conflict as people from both sides were dropping like flies.

Hades seemed to have a grand time as he slaughtered more than any other with Obsidian Spike erupting from the grind like giant blades. Yet that did not stop the Frost Giants trying to attack his allies, they stayed clear the god of death.

The battle raged on for some weeks before it slowed to a crawl with only Hades on the front-line.

Odin went to one of the temples when he heard a babe's squeal. He mused to himself 'Who would leave a child no less a baby out in this weather on the battlefield?' He got closer, and he found a child it was blue and had red eyes, Odin had already had his fill of death, and this babe was innocent. Odin bent down to pick him up and the baby shape-shifted into an Aesir. As if he had trusted Odin to protect it from harm.

Odin could tell it was a son of Laufey, but that did not matter the babe was innocent, so Odin took him back to Asgard after naming him Loki.

I knew the story all too well, I was there when it happened. I sighed and gave Loki a hug and then whispered in his ear, "Thank you for telling me this."

Loki sighed and then said softly, "We are not brothers..."

I sighed in return and said in a firm tone "We are closer than brothers, you and I get along better than Thor and I do. I sometimes feel as though you were my own son."

Loki looked up in surprise and asked, "Really?" With hope in his eyes.

I tightened up the hug a little and whispered, "Yes Loki, I do."

I felt cold tears dampen my tunic, I sighed and lovingly rubbed his back and said softly, "I will be there for you, always little brother..."

Loki relaxed in my arms for a few moments before he regained his emotions and let me go, he said to me, "I have a lot to think about... thank you for being there for me."

I smiled and said to him, "Any time Loki, any time.
