The Tale Of Loki by DickMcJones

Chapter 7

After my business with Aelsa, I returned to Asgard. It was currently morning and most of my family was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.

"So where is Thor?" I ask while cutting my food. "Is he with his new friends who go by the name the warrior three?"

"Yes, your brother is gallivanting around Muspelheim with them." Frigga says.

I raise an eyebrow at that. "The home of Surtur and fire demons, my brother seems to be getting cocky these days."

"Heimdall is currently watching over him unlike others who seem to go out of his way to hide from the gatekeeper and Surtur is still weakened since our last battle." Odin looks at me with disapproval.

"Excuse me If I value my privacy, not everyone likes having their every move monitored."

"It seems it is my destiny for all my children to have poor vices, one is a hedonist and the other is a bit of a brute." He says and I let out a quiet chuckle at his description of Thor. He lets out a sigh. " At Least I can be thankful you haven't turned the palace into a massive orgy."

I let out a fake indignant denial. "I am not that bad and you can't just ignore the good qualities, father dearest, plus orgies aren't for me. I don't share women with men."

My mother chips in to quickly change the topic. "So Loki I see you appear happier than you have been the last few years."

"Well I completed my latest project and now I have so much free time I could cry and afterwards I met a few maidens who wanted to keep me company so my mood at the moment is quite blissful."

"And how are you going to spend your free time?" Odin asks.

"Not sure at the moment, I was thinking about expanding my skills in blacksmithing and forging, since I want to create my own weapon like Mjolnir."

"Why not just have me ask the dwarfs to create it." He asks me, clearly interested.

"Because it wouldn't be as satisfying as to wield your own creation."

"And you forget to mention the part where you don't like the fact that someone can do something better than you, that is why you don't just want to ask the dwarfs." Odin says amused. "You should be less competitive Loki, thankfully you don't take it too far."

"Damn it's like I am an open book around here." Of course, I make sure to hide my darker tendencies such as apathy to everyone except a few and my willingness to do a lot of things people would consider immoral for my goals or happiness.

We make small talk amongst ourselves for a while before I depart and teleport to Heimdall. I nod to him and say. "Heimdall take me to an area near Thor."

He nods and activates the Bifrost. "As you wish, my prince."

As I move through the Bifrost I end up at Muspelheim. It looks rocky and fiery; it could easily be compared to a volcano. Heimdall landed me a bit of distance away from Thor and his party. I move in their direction, but not before getting a pair of gauntlets out of my hammerspace and equipping it.

Thor is currently with the warrior three and Lady Sif fighting against ordinary fire demons. As I see one going to attack Sif from behind I shoot it in the head with my wrist bow. As she looks up at me, I only wink before front flipping from a mountain I am currently on. She snarls at me and I have trouble keeping my amusement clear. She has somewhat of a crush on Thor and is either too shy or afraid to try and advance their relationship and I sometimes make fun of her for it and she thinks I have a superiority complex which I can't deny since look at me at I massive variety of positive traits like my intelligence, brawn, looks etc.
