He could feel them observe him... again. Norns it felt weird to be studied so much. At first they kept their distance but now they blatantly came in his shop. While he did not really mind, he got curious one day and put some identification rune on his door frame. The result surprised him.

His alter ego mother and father. They either had an idea on who he was or they got curious about the power he emanated. It was not difficult to guess when he thought about it. Somehow his cover was blown. He did not want to make the first step and reveal himself so he waited for them to do it.

Onto other mater, he finished the ritual to take care of Thanos. He found it while working on the stone. A ritual where the user could seal virtually anything in a forgotten dimension at the cost of his life.

How the human came with the idea of such sorcery, he had no idea. He stole it from a man calling himself lord of death while said man was working on building an army of undead.

The story behind said encounter was funny to say the least. One day, he decided to go on a trip to Germany. He wanted to see their wizarding street and maybe buy a few tomes on magic. As he walked around he felt a relatively large magic outburst nearby and decided to go investigate.

When he reached the origin of the outburst, he found a man in a village bathed in blood and corpse, he could hear him chant a spell and all the body stood as one. He couldn't feel any life coming of them , only the cold embrace of death.

The man spotted him and began a tirade about being the strongest man alive and conquering earth with his undead army. Not willing to hear more, Loki invoked a large pillar of fire that destroyed all the undead and killed the fool.

He then investigated the small town and found the house of the madman. That's where the rituals and others forbidden ritual were. How such man came in possession of them, he couldn't. Even by mortal standard, the man was sub-part. His power was more or less equal to Fleur and she hadn't matured her magical core.

Anyway, the ritual took months to prepare. He had to find rare material and it consumed a lot of power just to draw one rune, a whole day of concentration and power. There was thirteen runes to draw and he couldn't make them one after another without damaging his body with the lack of rest.

While he rested, he mentally prepared himself for what was to come. He would need to have Thanos come at him. The ritual circle needed to be near him to work and he would only have one chance to make it work. Even if it did not, he would die as the price of such magic was the life of the caster.

He stood from his bed and looked at the sky. Maybe the fate were kind after all. While he was not able to do much in his old universe, he could give this one a chance and finally have a sense of closure.

Time was running out.

He knew his father and mother went to earth a lot recently. He could feel them. He knew something interested them and he wanted to go see what it was but his work here kept him from doing so. Even with his friend help, they had a lot to do in order to welcome the mutants and wizard on their new home.

Morgana looked depressed recently and when he asked she just pouted and demanded them to fasten their work. She would often look on earth direction with a sad smile and Sylvie would look at here with a knowing look.

Recently, wizard government came to him for negotiation, they wanted to move over. He needed time to prepare everything but accepted. Humanity proved itself not ready for change such as magical user population or mutant.

With all this happening, he had less time to prepare Thanos arrival. It weighted on his mind but somehow, he knew something would happen and everything would be fine. He did not know why but he KNEW everything would be fine.

While Thanos wasn't the only danger, he was the most dangerous being alive and without him, Yggdrasil would be safer.

Something big happened in Germany, he did not know what and it was troubling. From the report of his agents, a man fought a group of people and annihilated them, creating a pillar of flame from nothing and destroying the centre of the town.

He knew something big was happening on earth. With the mutant and wizard disappearing god know where and the power outburst his new tools detected, he KNEW something was amiss.

Country leaders were asking for war with the norse god that "kidnapped" their citizen to build his own country. He had his hand full with the council asking for action and result.

He was thinking of retiring recently. The world could go fuck itself, he was tired of dealing with this shit but he know that if he ever retired, they would post someone less peaceful in his place and he did not want to see how it would go.

Luckily people like hill and coulson made his job easier. Bless their souls.

She know her "other" son was up to something. How he thought she would not sense the detection runes on the door frame, she could not understand. If he was her son as she thought, he should know she would detect them.

Even after he got her identity, he did nothing, he did not approach her or observe her. He kept going as if nothing happened. Though, he was often absent as of late and she could feel the power he used for his most recent ritual. She guessed it was a ritual as she did not understand what it could be aside from that.

It was monstrous. So much power, so controlled and warm. She could only compare it to her husband and in his younger years. To think he was so powerful. She did not know how he came to possess so much strength. She had to make sure of his identity. She would prepare and ask him next time she came on Midgard.
