-PART FOUR-
Loki woke up early and excited. His black hair, scruffy and he rubbed sleep from his eyes. He jumped out of bed and ran into his parents' bedroom.
He jumped onto his mother's side of the bed and sat next to her, shaking her shoulder. Half asleep and confused, she said in a tired voice "hello, sweetheart. Happy birthday" she smiled and rubbed his scruffy hair fondly.
Odin rolled over, awakened by the voices. "What is it Loki?"
Loki frowned and looked at his father, shocked.
His mother glared at Odin.
"Oh, yes. Uh, I was only joking Loki. Happy birthday" he said quickly, and ruffled his hair.
Thor appeared in the doorway; rubbing his eyes and moaning. "What's all the commotion about? Do you know what the time is! Happy birthday!" he said realizing and stumbled over to his father.
Odin and Frigga sat up in bed as Thor clambered over them to sit next to Loki in the middle.
Frigga called for one of the maids to get Loki's presents. They came back later with 4 presents. They ranged in size, from small to large, Loki's face lit up.
The maids lay the presents carefully on the bed in front of Loki, then left.
Loki opened the first present laid in front of him; a large box shaped gift wrapped in gold.
He opened it up and inside was a brass helmet and a green cape. Loki gasped with delight and he lifted them out. The helmet had long curled horns and the cape was a deep apple green.
His mother smiled and said "Now you can come along to the important ceremonies and events with me and your father and your brother"
"Thank you" he replied.
