A Hundred Million Sunsets (WIP)

Chapter 2: Mischief

Dainsleif

Dainsleif awoke on the ground in what seemed to be a small public park. Except the park was on a floating island, like everything else in the landscape.

Not too far from him was Pure Vanilla "Cookie", who was also just regaining consciousness.

"What in the world was that?!" Vanilla said as Dainsleif, who was standing, helped him up.

"I'll tell you what that was. That was the biggest wave of elemental energy I have ever seen!"

"Why couldn't I see it until it was too late?"

"I don't know, but I'm guessing that wherever you are from works with different rules,"

"Well, what do we do now? And do you know where the other two people are?"

Dainsleif sighed before answering, "One, what we are doing is getting as far away from wherever that energy came from as possible; Two, I think Baizhu and Qiqi were launched in the opposite direction,"

" Huh. Alright," Vanilla answered as he tucked his staff behind his back and sprinted to catch up with Dain.

"So, uh, I guess we never properly introduced ourselves? So you wanna do that?" Vanilla asked.

Dainsleif answered while scavenging the park at the same time, "Well fine. My name is Dainsleif. The traveler called me Dain. I was a guard for the nation of Khanriah. But, after an...let's say... incident," Dainsleif stopped and longingly looked at the horizon, before painfully continuing, "The nation fell at my feet, and I was unable to protect what I swore to,"

"Oh... I'm sorry.." Vanilla said.

"Because of the, erm, incident, I am now pretty much immortal...and have been wandering the lands for a long time. At least before the world went to shit, which brings us to where we are now," Dainsleif finished.

"Well, It's my turn. My name is Pure Vanilla Cookie..." He paused for a second, "Or at least it was, in my world. This might sound weird to you, but where I come from, we are all... Cookies. I know, it's strange to you, but who knows what happened and what I am now," Vanilla gave a shrug.

"Anyways, before all this, I was the founder of the Vanilla Kimgdom. It was glorious and prosperous, at least before the war. At the end, the kingdom fell at my feet, and I was not able to protect what I swore to..." Vanilla said before stopping for a minute, "Huh. Strange. Well, that's all I guess. Hey Dain, do you hear that?"

"I think it's coming from over there!" Dain said
as he ran to the noise. They could hear what seemed to be another being.

Dain and Vanilla hid behind a bush to catch a glimpse of the person.

He had long black hair and gold and green armor, and wore a confused look on his face.

The man spotted Dain and Vanilla and confidently yelled, "Oh hello there mortals, I am Loki, and I have been blessed with glorious purpose!!!"

"Hiya! Glad to finally see another person!"

What is he doing?! Did Vanilla literally just walk straight up to him and say hi?! Dain thought as he watched him walk up to the person.

"Let me handle this" Dain hissed into Vanilla's ear, before saying, "My name is Dainsleif, and this is Vanilla. We just heard noises, so came to investigate,"

"My name is Loki, God of Mischief, rightful heir of Jotunhiem and Asgard!" Loki introduced himself.

"God? Interesting... you don't look like much of a god. That said, not all gods like to be flashy," Dainsleif pointed out.

Loki scoffed, "Well, I am curious, what universe do you come from?"

"Erm, universe?" Dain and Vanilla asked at the same time.

"I must admit, I am most likely the most knowledgeable person about our situation that you will ever meet," Loki answered, "Are you ready to hear the secrets of the Multiverse?"

Dain and Vanilla shot each other suspicious looks, then nodded.

"Well, gentlemen, let me tell you my story"
