I enjoyed Thor Ragnarok, but I didn't like how they changed Hela's parentage. In the myths and the comics, Hela is Loki's daughter. I know it probably made more sense for the movie adaptation to make Hela the secret child of Odin, but, still, I wouldn't say I liked the change. Fenris, the giant wolf, is another one of Loki's kids. Sleipnir was also in the first Thor movie, making Jormungdr the only kid of Loki (excluding Nari and Vari) not to be in a Marvel movie. Anyhoo, I hope you enjoy this chapter. Feel free to leave a review; I love hearing your opinions.
Chapter Three: Welcome to Valhalla
Loki couldn't breathe. He couldn't see. Everything was black. All that he remembered was Thanos forcing him to hand over the Tesseract and suddenly, the lack of air.
"Loki." A voice rang out in the dark. Loki couldn't place who the voice was coming from, but he sensed it was close.
"Loki," the voice said again. Suddenly Loki could see clearly. He was standing in the refugee ship, purple fire burning in patches. A man in a black tuxedo was standing a few feet away. The man's brown hair was covered in a black top hat.
"Who are you?" Loki asked and felt around for his daggers.
"I'm Vincent. I'm a reaper, here to take your soul to the Queen in Valhalla," the man replied.
"What?"
"You heard me. You're dead, Loki. Thanos shattered your neck after choking you. It was a bold move taking on the Titan alone," Vincent explained.
"What?" Loki asked again. Vincent wasn't making any sense. Dead? Him?
"Look around you, Loki. Can't you tell? There's no going back. It's official this time. That time on Svartalfheim when you had a near-death experience, you didn't have a reaper, right?"
"No," Loki admitted. He looked down to hide his tears. He froze suddenly as he noticed something laying on the ground. It was his body, lying there cold and blank. Loki could see that Thor was cradling him and sobbing.
"What?" Loki gasped.
Vincent sighed. "I'm sorry, Loki, but it's time to go," Vincent said and extended his hand.
"Why?"
"Because you're dead. That's why. Now if you don't hurry up and come with me, you'll end up staying here forever as a restless spirit. Is that something you want?"
Loki shook his head. "Can I have five minutes alone?"
Vincent pulled out a silver pocket watch. "Five minutes, and then we're going."
Loki nodded as Vincent disappeared. He turned back to face Thor. He knelt down beside his older brother and whispered, "I don't know if you can hear me, but I just want to let you know that I love you even if you think that I'm the worst brother in existence."
Thor continued to cry, clearly not hearing Loki. Loki rested a hand on Thor's shoulder, but it passed right through. Thor shivered as if cold but said nothing.
Loki frowned and wiped a tear from his eye. Why couldn't Thor hear him?
Vincent reappeared and gave Loki a sad smile.
"Time's up. Are you ready?" Vincent asked.
Loki nodded in reply. Vincent extended his hand. Loki took it and together they disappeared in a flash of white light.
Loki didn't see his brother survive the explosion that happened seconds after they disappeared.
