A Warm Hart Has A Cold Revival (sequel to A Cold God Found His Warm Hart)

Chapter 9: the forgotten son

"My name is Prince Loki, and I've come asking for shelter and supplies while my general and I try and find our way home"
"Prince Loki. We meet at last. I've been waiting for the chance to meet you"
"You know of me. How?" I asked, my eyes narrowing.
"You mean you've never heard of me, father?"
"Father?" Roy asked, finally speaking
"Father? I am father to only three whom live far from here" I argued
"We may not be related by blood. But you are my father, for you're engaged to my mother"
"Aceleve?" I asked, my hands curling into fists
"Oh is that the name she goes by now?"
"What are you talking about?" Roy demanded, he sat straight in his chair.
"My mother has a life that she's kept hidden from you for nearly 50 years"
"No, she's only 26 that's not true" Roy argued.
"Oh dear, she's good at lying isn't she?" He asked chuckling
"My dear mother is what is known as a Scylen. A creature that can change shape and appearances. She can change her age and gender along with the incredible mind powers she possesses. She gets the power to do this by feeding off of someone's love for her. For example, Roy. You have loved her your entire life, therefore she has been able to stay up her appearance and stay with you. She came to this world looking for a new start, to run away from her responsibilities which would be me, her forgotten son. She found you as babe wrapped in a blanket, in a basket all alone in a abandoned basement. She took it upon herself to raise you and care for you until you can survive on your own. When you turned 5 years old she had the intention of abandoning you at a orphanage and leaving you there. But when she felt all the love you had for her, and how strong she was she couldn't leave you. So she changed her appearance to look that of your older sister and enrolled the two of you into a orphanage where you lived the rest of your lives. Until the two of you ran away and started your own lives and she met Loki and blah and blah you two know the rest"  the man explained. I sat stunned in silence staring at the man. I glanced over at Roy who's eyes were glazed over and he sat rigid as a pole.
"Where's the proof?" I demanded. There's no way this loon is telling the truth. I've searched Aceleve's mind more times then I can count. And I'd be able to feel her draining my feelings for her.
"Are my words not enough for you?" He asked with a Cheshire like grin. I glared at him and my jaw clenched.
"what's your name?" I demanded.
"The humans here call me Jake. But my birth mother gave me the name of Damien" he explained. I heard Roy's breath hitch.
"Do you know him?" I asked.
"Yes." He breathed
"From where?"
"From Aceleve's diary. When we were younger, at the orphanage, I snuck into her room and was going through her stuff when I found her book. I read through it and found some stuff about Damien. Before I could finish reading through it Ace came in and caught me. She was fuming. Anyways I never asked her who Damien was and I didn't think much of it until now" Roy explained. I chewed on the inside of my cheek. I would much prefer to ask Aceleve about this in person but obviously that can't happen. I don't want to Cheen or whatever it is we do to communicate about it because I can't tell if she's lying or anxious about what's going on. Body language is incredible.
"What do you want from her?" I asked with a threatening tone.
"I just want my dear mother to see me again, to watch her face morph from confusion to recognition and finally to hatred once she sees I have her to favorite men in captivity" he explained. I snorted
"Yea good luck with that"
"You couldn't capture us even with your best warriors" Roy said.
"How did you know who we were?" I asked suddenly.
"It's not hard to find out. You, my mother, and Roy are very popular in Midguard" he explained.  I rolled my eyes. Curse you S.H.E.I.L.D.
"I'm not sure how well your plan will work" Roy said, speaking up.
"Why's that?" Damien asked.
"Aceleve is in a unknown coma right now. We've left Asguard to find a way to wake her" Roy explained.
"Oh? How interesting" he said. His attitude and the way he held himself changed just slightly.
"No matter. I may not capture you today. But you better constantly look over your shoulder and sleep with one eyed open.  Because I'm still coming after you two. I just don't know when" he said with a smirk.
"But until then, please stay as my honored guests. If you would like you may eat your fill and sleep in our beds until you are ready to continue on your journey. We will even provide horses and supplies for your journey" he offered.
I shifted in my seat.
"Thank you for your offer, we accept. We plan to only be staying here for one night to replenish supplies and even find a map" I clarified.
"Of course. I have plenty of maps. What would you like? World, ocean, state?"
"Where are we?" I asked.
"In the undiscovered forests of Asia"
"Who are these people?"
"They are escaped convicts from Canada"
"How did you come to be there leader?" I asked, my forehead scrunched in confusion.
"I led the jail break" he said with a smirk.
"If you have it, we require a map of Asia and a map of the United Kingdom"
"My, you are very fluent in English words and sentences and even culture. Have you been studying?" He taunted. I glared and didn't reply, I do not like him.
"Anyways. Here you are, dinner is in an hour and afterwards I'll show you to where the two of you will be sleeping and then in the morning I'll provide you with supplies" he said while handing me two large rolled maps
"If you'll excuse me..." He carried off while looking at us expectantly. I cleared my throat and stood while taking the maps from him
"Thank you, for your hospitality" I said sarcastically. Roy stood with me and silently followed me out of the room. I blew out the breath I didn't realize I was holding and looked around the camp. I found a empty wooden table and led Roy to it where we sat, and began to figure out how in the hell we were to get out of here.
