I'm getting really sick of waking up in mysterious places. I surround myself with fire when I see booted feet coming towards me.
Burning the arrows from my wounds I try to push myself up and I see a flash of a face. A horned helmet ...warbled words...guards!
Someone help!
A warm hand.
No don't do that..you're hurting yourself human...no!
Don't harm her!
I don't care I'm ordering you to help her!
Fuliane feels herself lifted off the ground.
Again her world fills with light but it's like she's awake but not awake ...her mind begins to clear and she hears the soft male voice again.
Dao blades interesting choice of weapon.
Fuliane blinks at him as he holds up her Loki mask.
This however is what I find most interesting.
Did you make this? Fuliane nods.
It was at a fire festival.
I learned about different spirits ...the Loki spirit is clever and mischievous but he has a way of protecting people and causing trouble for those who hurt those he loves and those that can't protect themselves.
Loki lowers his hand and looks at the mask again
You think that? Fuliane nods her amber eyes wide they have flecks of gold in them and Loki smiles widely.
I suppose I'll tell you who I am now.
I'll admit I was wondering sir. He smirks.
Care to guess?
Why would I when you're going to tell me anyway.
Loki laughs genuinely. I like you. He says.
I...another man comes into the room brother is your- the man's eyes widen and Fuliane's eyes widen as well.
Did your new friend wake up? He says not noticing the air between them.
Obviously he says. He shakes his head as I was saying my name is Loki Odinson prince of Asgard.
Fuliane raises an eyebrow.
I'm on ember island aren't I?
This is a joke. Her voice is soft and slightly high pitched.
Where's my brother he'd pull this. Loki sighs.
Your brother isn't here. Being honest for once he says I am really telling the truth. A few days ago you appeared in my garden you were gravely injured or should've been for a human at least...but your uh bending burned the arrows out of you and the healers managed to patch you up
It helps your body has a way of healing itself ...but truly I am Loki.
He says setting down the mask. And I am ...honored that you uh made your mask based off of me.
Fuliane looks down. Ive failed she says finally.
What?
It was my job to protect them...they called me Loki it became my nickname only the brothers and our general knew there was only 20 of us 15 of the younger ones and five fifteen year olds.
What are you talking about?
I was supposed to keep them safe Fuliane says again.
She puts her head in her hands and whispers I've let everyone down.
