"Yeah, I don't know why. Oh! He told me to tell you that he likes your wings."Peter stated nonchalantly.
Loki looked at Jessa confused, "Wings?" Loki asked, "You have wings!?" Jessa nodded.
"Mhhm, whenever I need to hide my wings they turn into a tattoo on my back. The tattoo on my back is also wings." She explained carefully.
Loki nodded with understanding, "So what are you?"
"My people were known The Angelis Potentioribus (say that five times fast),it means powerful angels in Latin. As far as I know, there are only two Angelis Potentioribus left, and that's me and the one born into the prophecy." Jessa responded.
Loki thought for a second, "The Angelis Potentioribus were the honor bound warriors of Asgard. They fought in many battles to protect Asgard. Asgard would respect you, if they knew you still existed." Loki told her all the information he read about her kind in the history books, "Your kind has the lifespan of a god,and may live even longer." He looked up at the beautiful woman, "How old does that make you?"
"I am younger than most Angelis Potentioribus, but it doesn't really matter." She answered quickly.
Loki agent her a pleading look, "Really, how old are you?"
"Uhh, fine!" Jessa growled, "I am just under two-thousand and thirty-seven, I've fought in one battle, it didn't end well."
Loki's jaw dropped, "Oh, you look much younger, if you were mortal, you could be twenty-three!"
Jessa's face turned slightly pink, "Oh, uhm, thanks Loki."
"So, I totally blanked out and forgot to ask your name." Peter glanced over at Loki, "So what is it, hot-shot?"
Loki glared at the man, "I am Loki of Asgard." Loki looked back at his book.
"Huh, I've heard of you, you are the one who tried to take over earth," Peter made quotes in the air, "burdened with glorious purpose."He chuckled.
-Awhile in the past-

(If you you want a better visual, of this part, be prepared to play the song May It Be by Enya, I'll tell you when to play it.)

Jessa extended her wings, blocking the arrows from hitting the Asgardian warriors.
"Take cover!" She ordered, turning around with her wings still extended, and pulling her sword from her sheith.
A maniacal laugh came from behind Jessa. She turned around while quickly retracting her wings. Her sword and another clashed together.
"Volkan!" Jessa gasped, "How dare you attack the armies of Asgard, you will surely fall!"
Volkan smirked, "Look around, you have no army to protect you this time!"
Jessa growled, pushing her sword against his. Volkan quickly moved to the right, causing Jessa to lose her balance and fall to the ground. She grunted at the impact.
Her sword flung forward onto the ground. Jessa flipped over on her back and started to sit up, but Volkan stepped a foot on her shoulder.
"Look at all this beautiful destruction! You can do nothing to stop it, you are powerless!" He gestured to the battlefield around them.
Jessa's face twisted into agony, "You are sick!" She pulled her leg back and kicked Volkan in the chest. Quickly standing up, she picked up her sword.
Volkan put a hand on his chest, grunting as he sat up, "You are weak!" He growled, breathlessly.
Jessa extended her wings; "You will pay for this destruction, Volkan!" She pointed her sword at him.
"Not until I make you feel pain!" He put his hand to the ground causing it to turn black and crumble. It spread in veins over to where Jessa stood.
She quickly flew up as the ground collapsed beneath her.
"You should know better than to have quarrel with the god of destruction and chaos!" He chuckled.
Volkan was suddenly tackled by Ansoris, the king of the Angelis Potentioribus, also Jessa's godfather. The king's wings were extended. Volkan stood up and grabbed the king's wrist, plunging his sword through his stomach.
"ANSORIS!!!! NO!" Jessa ran over to the king.
Volkan looked down at the man, "I have accomplished my task." Volkan disappeared into thin air.
Jessa put her hand on the wound, "I can still save you, there is still time!" Tears fell out of her eyes. She knew his fate was sealed.
Andoris pulled her hand away from his wound, "Jessica, no. You would kill yourself trying to save me." He cupped Jessa's face with his bloody hand, "I have no heir. Volkan will take over my people, unless you become queen." Jessa shook her head.
"Andoris, I can't do that, I am not of royal blood!" She stated.
Andoris shook his head, "Search for the prophecy, my queen. I wish I could have told you more, I love you, my daughter. Your parents would be proud."
The life in his eyes faded, his hand dropped from Jessa's face.
"No, No! Andoris please, no! Wake up!" She sobbed. The Asgardian warriors surrounded her. The battlefield was silent.
Jessa's soft and beautiful voice pierced through the silence.

(Play song)

"May it be an evening star,
Shines down upon you.
May it be when darkness falls,
Your heart will be true.
You walk a lonely road;
Oh, how far you are from home....

Mornie utulie( darkness has come),
Believe and you will find your way.
Mornie alantie(darkness had fallen),
A promise lives within you now....

May it be the shadows call,
Will fly away.
May it be your journey on,
To light the day.
When the night is overcome,
You may rise to find the sun.

Mornie utulie( darkness has come),
Believe and you will find your way.
Mornie alantie(darkness had fallen),
A promise lives within you...

A promise lives within you... now..."
