Cleave | Loki x Reader

●part 2: 2026●
'"It shall be with great pleasure that I, Odin, King of Asgard and protector of the Nine Realms, announce the royal engagement of my firstborn son, Thor, scion of Asgard," Odin's mighty voice booms through the crowds, making it nearly impossible to grasp the essence of his words.
"To the Lady Y/n of Vanaheimr, last hero-born of the Nine Realms!"
As my gaze flicks to the royal family, the wide and glossy eyes of the second born prince who stands planted firmly at his father's side, lock with mine.
And it is then that I see it vanish from the eyes I so adore. Gone is the calm, gone the order.
It's the worst possible moment for the realisation to hit me square in the face.
I am devoted to him, the God of Mischief and Chaos. And that wholeheartedly.
Also, I am now betrothed to the crown prince - his brother.'

Her birth had been a gift. Her life a promise.
Raised as the key to a prophecy foretold to save the Gods from their doom, fate links young Y/n to Asgard. And to its princes.
As the years pass them by, they grow inseparable.
However, when her heart gets entangled with the one, she is forced to choose the other. Consequences are what will follow. And they bear the name of Loki - God of Mischief and Lies.

But Loki has fallen. It's what he does. Fallen for false promises, fallen from grace, fallen from a bridge, fallen for a life he may never lead.
With their paths diverging across the realms, it is on Earth where they meet again. And that, on opposing sides.
Still, they cannot outrun fate - bound to unveil the lie behind their truth and the myth behind their fact.
