Re: Thor doesn't believe Loki GEN Full 2/3 anonymous July 26 2012, 23:15:55 UTC
Thor almost felt Loki had said these words hope of being refuted.
He rushed to interrupt his brother, before Loki could let spill any more poison.

"Of course it is, you are my brother, nothing will change that, nothing. Cease these actions Loki, give up this poisonous dream, what you do now is unfitting of a Prince of Asgard."

"But I'm not really a Prince of Asgard am I, Thor? A Prince perhaps but not of Asgard, perhaps by these actions a Asgard's stolen relic can prove it's worth"

Thor was now completely lost. What ill idea had taken root in his brother's mind. Loki spoke complete nonsense, where else but Asgard could Loki be Prince. What relic was his brother speaking of?"

"What are you saying?"

"You truly don't know do you Thor?" Loki made an expression that looked like a sad distortion of a smile "Well, I suppose we couldn't have the Golden Son killing his so-called brother. That would put the family in a bad light wouldn't it?"

"Loki" Thor was dismayed "I would never kill you"

"And therein lies the difference between us. Perhaps we shouldn't be surprised though, after all I am a monster."

Thor was left speechless. Indeed had he been unsure of his brother's malady of the mind before surely this was proof. To speak so killing him, his brother, so easily and call oneself a monster. These were not the actions of a well mind.

"Are you so sure you would not have killed a Frost Giant? Certainly you had not great affection for them before"

Suddenly reminded of his other purpose here Thor glanced towards the centre of the observatory. He did need to close the portal to Jotunheim but for once he could see perhaps it would be quicker to talk to rather than fight his brother. Loki also seemed to look at the glowing centre and started to move away from it out back out towards the bridge to Asgard. Thor had no choice but to follow.

"What do you mean? Speak clearly brother?"

"I am not your brother, I am a Jotun runt Odin took at the end of the war for some purpose though I admit I know not what. Everything makes so much more sense though doesn't it Thor?"

"You are no Frost Giant Loki, look at yourself" Thor blurted out. He had always been one for plain speech and such was all he could offer to attempt to reach his brother.

"I suppose not. Some magic of Odin's or perhaps even my own unconsciously. Perhaps this shall make you see"

Thor watched as his brother drew out the Casket of Ancient Winters. Perhaps it was this which was having the ill effect on Loki's mind. Such enchantments were not unknown and should be more easily removed than any true malady.

As his brother held onto the Casket Thor washed the blue rush over his skin and the green eyes change to red. It seemed oddly gradual compared to most of his brother's shape-shifts. Indeed this did not even seem to be a full shape-shift. His brother retained his own stature and features and through he gained the markings which covered the Jotun (these inexactly copied from Laufey Thor thought) they were no-where near as prominent as was the norm.

Really, Loki didn't even look that much like a Jotun at all. In anything he looked like some bard's imagining of an Aesir-Jotun half-breed, as if everyone didn't know all such children took after but one of their parents. Admittedly Thor did realise the Asagrdian armour Loki wore probably dampened Frost-Giant effect of the body.

He was not sure what Loki meant by this though and spoke as much

"Truly your magic is astounding brother. You forget though that I have seen such tricks before, your shape-shifting has been an aid on many a quest before."

Loki looked at Thor in what looked like disbelief

"Do you truly think I would take the form of a Frost Giant of my own free will?"

"I do not know brother, what you might do in this state is not something I can guess at. This madness will pass Loki, you are my brother and always will be"

He moved towards his brother in an attempt to be reassuring. He was not be the wordsmith his brother was and had always been one for expressing his affection physically.

Loki though must have misread Thor's actions as he raised the Casket as if to use it.

Whatever else, Thor may be he was a warrior first and responded on instinct before Loki was able even to move much.
