Exiled from Asgard, and stripped of his magic, Loki finds himself landed on Midgard. Cast from his home, and thrust into a world he once attempted to conquer, his bitterness is more than aggravated. Loki is furious, and yet as his anger is uncontained and wild, he finds himself vulnerably laid into the palms of these mortals that he sees as so inferior. The mortal that finds him, though, is much more intriguing (and less... Well, mortal) than he thought Midgardians to be. Enter Valentina Rossiére, a woman with fire that could sear into your soul burning in her eyes and a tongue quick as a whip. Whilst at first she seems to be simply a strangely behaving midguardian, she somehow manages to break through to Loki's broken mind, and find a part of himself he had thought had been long destroyed. With a bit more than a reluctant mind, and an empty heart, Loki finds himself not only forced into submission into the mundane lifestyle of a human being, but into an unsuspected whirlwind of emotions that he never knew existed.
