Loki had always been the one left out, always outshone by his older brother Thor. On the night of a traditional Asgardian holiday, Loki is left to himself as usual. Not that he particularly minded by now, of course; he thinks himself a monster, a horrid being that the Asgardian people despise. However, a young servant of the palace that he meets that evening may change his mind about the people of Asgard, and more importantly, his view of himself.
