WAYWARD ACADEMY FILES: Loki The Substitute Teacher

Who's that Substitute?

Zack Underwood had a list of the different types of Substitute Teachers that Wayward Academy could possibly have. Some of the main one's consisted of: the "Try-to-hard", to the "Drill-sergeant", and the "Burnouts". However, Zack never imagined that he would be adding "Misunderstood Asgardian Trickster-God Villain" on the list so soon.

It started out as a "normal" day for the Waywards, well as normal as it could get. The class was waiting in Ms. Corrigan's room, doing nothing in particular. It wasn't odd to see a teacher come in late for work (some didn't even show up at all), but it was strange for Ms. Corrigan who was almost never late. Glyph offered to go look for their missing teacher and left the classroom. Twenty minutes passed and the class began to get restless. But, before anyone could leave, Glyph came back inside dragging someone someone behind her. And that someone was definitely not Ms. Corrigan. Instead it was a tall man with long, silky black hair, clothed in green leather attire, and atop his head was a golden helmet with two horns sticking out. Yet, the most unsettling fact wasn't that he was a literal god, nor was it the fact that he was holding a very sharp ended metal staff, but it was the fact that his eyes were red and puffy as if he had just been crying earlier. That assumption couldn't be more true. When Glyph went outside of the school building, she saw Loki, the god of Mischief himself, crying on a nearby bench. In all honesty she didn't know why he was crying, and if anyone else had seen him sobbing like a child they would just ignore him, believing that he deserved to be in sorrow. But lucky for him, Glyph never though that way, and neither did any of the Wayward children. She slowly approached the raven haired god, and sat down next to him. Loki hesitantly looked at her fear crawling around in his stomach for unknown reasons. Glyph felt her heart break in two upon seeing the god cower before a mere child like her. Whatever happened to him must've been very unpleasant to make him act this way. She could even see the hurt in his eyes, growing stronger with every passing second. Swirling around his mind and pulling him down to unreachable depths. Glyph didn't need to hear Loki's story to know if he needed help or not. She was determined to save him from this darkness that he created, and she knew exactly how.
