His Mortal(Loki x reader)

Chapter 3

I arrive atop a lush green hill. Rain and Thunder fill the air. The etchings of Asguard burned into the ground being the sign of my arrival. I see a sign at the bottom of the hill. It says 'Florida'. Heimdall said it was in a forest spring. I look to the distance. There's a forest there. Heimdall always knows where to drop me, though I wish he dropped me a bit closer so I wouldn't have to travel so far. I better start flying. I take off into the sky, rain hitting my face as I soar through the air hammer in hand.

It's been a little while since I was on Midguard. I haven't been since New York. Loki's rampage left many people suffering and crippled. It's sad to believe that he was once a person who couldn't bring himself to defend himself against another child who was bullying him as a child. He even tried to hide it. He said complaining and whining wasn't what the future king of Asguard was going to be known for. I told him neither was taking a beating and letting his kingdom fall. He rolled his eyes and told me not to worry. He told me there are more ways to handle conflict than causing someone else a bloody nose. He said there were ways to get similar results without getting your hands dirty. I didn't understand at the time. I especially didn't know what he was planning until 2 days later when they found the boy beaten to a pulp. Apparently a herd of Bildshnipe got loose into a stampede and crushed everything around the poor boy's house. It was an odd occurrence considering Bildshnipe destroy everything in their path and the only thing that was in pieces was the backyard where the boy was playing and part of the house. What made it more odd was there was no trace where the Bildshnipe have gone to. It seems they just disappeared. I would have never guessed it was Loki. In fact I completely dismissed the situation entirely and thought it was just an unfortunate accident. It wasn't until I returned home later that day did I hear mother scolding Loki for irresponsible use of magic. She told him blind destruction wasn't the way to deal with people you see as enemies and it certainly isn't the way of a king.

That was one of the first times I imagined Loki could actually be capable of hurting someone. Before he was too afraid or shy and would turn to me as a human shield. At the time I would tease him about it, but would gladly oblige anyway. It made me feel strong. Though when we got to a certain age of 10 years I abandoned him. I was embarrassed by him and tried to keep him at a distance. Personally, I don't think he cared. He acted like at most it was just an inconvenience for him and he had to seek a different route. That's when later I found out he was having trouble with the other kids and I felt bad for leaving him. I tried to go back to him and help him, but he wouldn't let me. He relied on magic that mother was teaching him. Even though he had the magic I still tried to defend him, but he didn't need it. He actually didn't seem to care at all. I can't say I tried that hard to protect him because I believe at some points I was the problem he was facing at the moment all because I was ashamed he was my brother. I wonder if that is the reason of his hatred towards me. Though childish it seems possible.

Though throughout those years he became more cunning and skilled with magic. Those skills have obviously followed him into adulthood. Of course that only made him more secluded from others. It wasn't until we became adolescents did he start to care to socialize more. People were more willing to accept him then. Being young adults made us feel like we were at the peak of our lives and that we could do anything. Especially me. I would use that feeling to constantly seek adrenaline. Loki however would rather watch me than seek it with me. He was always more mature than me, but I see how things have changed in current times. Loki has changed, and not for the better.

I fly over the trees in the forest spotting a clearing in the middle of it all. I take no time to land in it. My eyes search my surroundings wondering where to even start looking for this 'secret grove' of sorts. Clearly it wouldn't be anywhere a mortal could stumble upon it by accident, nor would it be easy to find if someone were. It would have to be secluded somewhere, but where? I start walking, looking for any sign that shows me where it would be. The rain makes a calming sound as I walk through the forest. It reminds me of better times. It reminds me when (Y/n) was here. Those times were likely the best times. My brother certainly at his happiest then. She did spread joy to everyone around her. No one would have thought a mere mortal could spread so much happiness. Sif seemed to get the most amusement out of her joy. It wasn't often Sif could converse with another female on a daily basis.

I certainly enjoyed her company. I often made fun of her for being mortal, but she didn't seem to mind. She would only reply with how foolish we would look if we were in her world considering we didn't know any of the culture or behavior of the people. I only laughed at her. It wasn't until my first trip to Midguard when my father banished me did I see she was right. It's amusing reminiscing on it now. I believe Loki got the most happiness from her presence considering how close they were. I was always curious how Loki managed to have her agree to be his lover, but I can't say I wasn't happy for my brother. I was. When she was around then he was happy, which made me happy. I only looked to my brother's happiness. I wondered for awhile, if she was still living, would they have married? Now, I think of this question and wonder, if they did marry then would Loki still have made the choices he has recently? Thoughts like this make me wish that (y/n) was still alive.

Thoughts like this distract me and keep me from watching where I'm going causing me to fall over a branch and into a hole in a tree.
