Loki came to the doorway of the hospital.The sliding doors parted ways letting Loki walk forwards through the open space. Loki could see the black vans with white news channel labels on the sides parked across from the driveway leading to the hospital---but not right in front the entrance--nearly shadowed by the tree's they are parked under as he walks on the sidewalk towards the edge where the worn away dark pavement began.There are a couple news reporters seen even Darla reporting live.The sound of a Elk running down the road drew everyone's attention including Loki.

It is Jake the Elk.

"Wait, there's an Elk!" Darla said. "This is a very rare occurrence where Elks come to hospitals." Darla has turned towards the left where the camera shows Jake the Elk skidding to a halt across from Loki's figure."The Elk must be on a important mission--wait!" Darla taps on her ear looking quite startled and her eyes focused on Jake the Elk."The Elk has lowered itself for someone to ride it."

Jake the Elk lowers his head towards the ground, his left leg is down and his right leg is up. Jake's antlers do not necessarily reach to the rear but the point is; they are big, long, and wide enough for someone to be scooped up.They are so far apart that a rider could rest their arms on one of the antler's.The Antlers don't necessarily block view for the rider as well. It is very apparent to Loki that Jake the Elk wanted to take him somewhere.

"What next?" Darla reports, as Loki gets on Jake the Elk. "Are we going to be witnessing an alien invasion?"She made a dramatic pause. Jake the Elk gets up on his four feet turning away from the direction he had stopped in. "Time can only tell."

Our perspective returns to Loki and Jake the Elk.

"Okay, Jake." Loki said. "Where do you want to go?"

Jake the Elk dashes through the city all the while Loki is hanging on.

"Jake, don't kill yourself over this!" Loki said.

Jake the Elk grunts and made what could be identified as a smirk. Loki  could see the smirk from the edge of Jake's head which only him wonder if Jake was actually an Asgardian Elk who worked for Santa Claus. With a thrust Jake speeds up faster making some newspapers fly from the hands of a few men. The men look up seeing Loki riding an Elk, a few men drop their cigarettes, and a couple drop their phones. Three of the four phones that had been dropped broke once meeting the ground.

Loki saw a big white sign that had multiple colored letter reading 'Zoo ahead!'.

"There is a running Elk in Austin,Texas!" A strange man yells. "That is not realistic!"

"Of  course it isn't, so are you!" Loki  yells back.

Jake the Elk went through the entrance to the Zoo. He wants to take me to a zoo?, Loki thought as Jake the Elk goes past a balloon station that soon had kids wanting a Elk Balloon, this Elk is wasting my time!There were people shoved by Jake the Elk. Now Loki had to figure out how to get off Jake without making him aware.

"I am dreaming, I am dreaming, I am dreaming." A Hispanic woman repeats to herself on a bench  once Jake the Elk rushed by.  "This is all a dream."

It is not everyday that an Elk comes running through a zoo and a city in one day.

"Oh dear." Loki said, seeing Jake the Elk is headed towards a Lion Exhibit. "Jake, you've gone mad."

Jake the Elk grunts.

"Pardon us!" Loki yells, warning the zoo-goers.  "Mad Elk coming through!"

Some Zoo-goers scream getting out of the way. The lions, sitting on the big rock, just stared at the upcoming Elk.Jake the Elk's speed increased headed towards a wide brown board shaped in a square being set up along a area to the Lion exhibit under construction that has some fencing around to prevent the lions from attempting to escape. Loki closed his eyes as Jake the Elk drew closer to the upwards brown wooden flooring part resembling of a skating ring.Jake's hooves patted on the wooden board making a loud sound that is usually heard when knocking on a hollow tree.
