He thought back on the dream he had a few days ago, how pleasing it felt.
Maybe those long day without sheming or planning made him lost it...
Though, the idea of a family was welcomed, who would accept him? Him, the rejected mad prince, the shame of asgard.
While he was not as powerful as he dreamed it, he still was on another realm of power and he had no doubt he could acomplish his dream if he wished.
The midgardian knew he was responsible for the destroyer, surely his brother told them.
Looking at the sky while tending to his garden he smiled. A life lived in a believe dreams to be the door to other realities. Maybe one of his alter-ego lived the life he so wished to have.
He sincerely hoped it was real, at least one of his incarnation got the happiness he was denied for almost all his life.
While thinking of this, he prepared the vegetables he would sell tomorrow. He needed to buy a new axe and a few gallons of petrol for his lamp.
It still felt strange to not use his sorcery casually but he knew heimdall would find him as soon as he tried to practice. The all seeing guardian could surely find him if needed but he knew he did not really wish to. The two never got along.
He still kept an eye open for his father's crows. Those beast were too good at finding things for their own good.
While walking he went back to musing on his dream. Half of the people in his dream, he could remember from his past or book but some did not make sense. His "daughter" was one of those.
He never met any one using HIS branch of magic. Chaos magic was too "chaotic" to be used by anyone else. It would take a miracle for a being to actually use it.
He laughted when he remembered the smile of his children, such beautiful scene forever out of his reach. There was somethind beautiful and sad about it. Knowing he could have lived this life but his decision pushed him where he was now.
Sitting on his rocking chair in front of the cabin he closed his eyes. Soon, he would need to step back into the grand scene of Ygdrasil. Thanos would not stop because he lost him, no, the mad titan was searching for the gem and already had the mind gem. As far as he knew.
He knew the space gem was on midgard. His "father" gave it to the human, keeping it far from Asgard. If he did not know better, he would bet he did it knowing it would bring war to keep it on Asgard.
He could not compete with the titan, he knew this but he could hide a stone. Fighting was never his strongest trait, he prefered illusion, misdirection and manipulation. He could hide as long as it was needed. The mad titan may be long lived but his minion were not.
He did not want to do it to save the word or to be accepted, no, he just wanted revenge for the toture and if it could save his mother than it was even better.
As bas as she was at being a mother, he still loved her. Like Mr Virtanen told him, the world could burn before a son would abandon a loving mother.
He met this man while selling the pelt from the beast he conversation, while short, went to the family.
He stoped roking the chair and stood up, stretching, he went inside. It was getting late and thinking about would not help.
XoX Asgard PoV XoX
Since Loki fall as they called it, they had known better days. For all his mischief and pride, loki was still a good ambassador and was well liked by quite a few nobles.
Thor, even if he was a good man, was not a diplomat and the relation with the other realm, while still good, took a dangerous turn. The dwarves were strangely silent and the elfs were getting more secluded.
Without his brother, the king seemed lost. More often than not, he would go on midgard to join his new shield brothers and sisters. The warriors three and lady sif were not as happy as before. They missed Loki foolery even if they would never admit it.
The king parents were no better, the all father had now a permanent frown on his face while frigga lost her smile. They blamed themselves for what happened and the allfather admited his wrong to thor regarding his adopter brother.
Without him, they lost something they thought they would never miss. Usually, they would wait for the prince latest mischief and have a good laught at his expense or the one targeted but now, the days passed calmly, boringly...
They missed him.
