[3rd POV]
In a dark forest somewhere in Scandinavia, a black haired boy was standing rather tensely. He was alert, watching his surroundings carefully. The black haired boy was drenched in cold sweat, he then walked slowly forward, stepping carefully, still watching his surroundings.
His mentors had given him a task, to leave the forest as soon as possible. Loki was confused, why give such a simple task? It was just exiting a forest at night.
But Pluto just smirked, and said: “For the night is dark and full of terrors.”
And so, Loki was dropped off in the middle of the forest, the moon was nowhere to be seen, and fog covered the entire forest.
Immediately, Loki felt that something was wrong.
And so, he started to slowly walk, stepping carefully through the foggy forest.
“What in father’s name is this…” he murmured. He kept walking, he decided that he would stick close to trees, just in case. Everytime he walked through a tree, he marked it, so he knew that he had passed it.
His vision was significantly blocked. The fog was so thick that even his Asgardian eyes couldn’t see through, which was already weird.
He continued walking, the fog was getting thicker and thicker, and there was no source of light whatsoever.
He then remembered a fire spell that his mother had taught him. He tried to conjure the flame, and it worked.
But then, as soon as his fire was lit, it was extinguished immediately, making him gulp.
“What?” He questioned himself. Was it a fluke? Did he say the incantation wrong?
He tried it again, the crimson flame was on his palm once again, but when he started to walk, it was extinguished immediately.
“W-What is this?” he stuttered.
He tried to conjure it again, but now, it failed, he gulped, and took a deep breath. “Okay… let’s just walk slowly…”
He started to walk again, but he heard sounds of ruffles behind him. He quickly turned around, his face pale, and was in a state of panic.
“W-Who’s there!?” he shouted frantically, trying to conjure magic again, to no avail.
No answer.
Loki gulped again, he didn’t know what was going on, so he turned around, and started to walk again.
The fog then started to get thicker and thicker to the point that Loki couldn’t even see the ground beneath him. He was extremely confused and scared right now, he just wanted to get out of this forest as quickly as possible.
Another sound came from behind him again, making him turn around frantically. “Who’s there?! I warned you! Don’t come closer!”
Again, no answer.
Loki clenched his fist once again, and turned around.
But then, when he turned around, he saw a pair of glowing yellow eyes, staring at him.
“ARGH!” he screamed, and ran in the opposite direction of the eyes. He ran in a random direction, he didn’t care about getting out of the forest anymore, he just wanted to hide.
Sounds of ruffling leaves starting to get louder and louder, as if a pack of some ‘things’ were chasing him.
“Get away! Get away from me!” he screamed frantically, stumbling, but quickly stood up again.
He didn’t know what this is, the aura of the monster that is chasing him is so powerful, he could feel the bloodlust and hunger of that monster, he didn’t know monsters like these exist on earth, a remote planet in the galaxy.
As he ran, he saw a cave near him. He then frantically entered the cave, hoping that he could hide there.
As he entered the cave, he quickly hid behind a rock. His mind was racing right now, what is this? Is this a test? Or is this real? There was no way fogs as thick as this exist on earth, let alone a monster with a humongous bloodlust like the one was chasing him right now.
He then heard the ruffling sound entering the cave, making him freeze in fear. He gulped. Is this it? Is he going to die? On this backwater planet?
The monster made a growling sound, making Loki shiver. The monster sniffed the air in the room, and Loki could hear the monster getting closer and closer.
He looked around, and there was no way to run. He had trapped himself in the cave.
He cursed himself at the stupidity, and vowed to never be caught off guard again, if he could leave the cave alive that is…
The monster was getting closer and closer. Loki could practically hear the growling vibrating his body right now.
He decided to close his eyes, that maybe, just maybe, he would be safe if he closed his eyes.
A sense of dread filled Loki’s heart as he could hear the breathing of the monster in front of his face. The breath was so cold that it made Loki shiver, but he held it, afraid that the monster might strike him at any second.
But then, a second, two seconds, three seconds, nothing happened. It doesn’t make Loki feel safe however, it only makes him feel more dread, as if the god of death was taunting him.
He gulped, and waited for his fate to come, but… nothing came. Maybe he was saved after all? He took a deep breath, and opened his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a little girl, crouching in front of him with a smirk.
“Boo!” the girl shouted cheekily.
Loki then screamed like a girl, and his pants soaked with his own piss…
