The Coming

Chapter 1
Urulokë beginnings
Loki ran into the Sherwood Forest, the pines swaying in the gentle breeze of the season. But Loki had no time to waste, for he had a new plant to analyze. And analyzing takes a very long time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They were following the line to the end of the dark hallway where a man with a scythe stood, menacingly and with a fell swoop of his mighty weapon....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Loki pushed the horrible image aside and with a quick burst of extra adrenaline, he zipped into the forest leaving a swirl of leaves in his wake.

A woman in her late thirties sat on a creaky rocking chair knitting several multicolored scarves for her dear daughter and stepson. As Loki ran towards a pretty cottage, in the heartlands of Acandia, the most northern town of Avalon, gunshots was heard in the distance.

A siren rang throughout the valley, and one by one families vanished into their houses, shocked and scared, their poor minds flooded with horrid thoughts of who could have shot the gun. But everyone knew who it was, Jacob Smith, one of the S.I.A officers on duty in Acandia. His reputation as a mean killing machine is spread far and wide, all families feared for their lives when he comes near.

Loki ducked into the underbrush when gunshots were fired. A siren began to wail. Loki cursed silently. The guards were here!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Guards were the ones who chased his whole family out of the city with a few other exiled families. But they we're nice enough to provide materials for them to build homes for themselves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Loki kept quiet and tried to calm his frantically beating heart. Calmness settled in like fog, as he slinked into the shadows. I have to hide, he realized.

Running into the darker and damp parts of the forest, Loki tripped. He stumbled into his backyard. He looked up into the dark irises of his pet dog, Benedict.
The St. Bernard bit his shirt collar and dragged him into the house, where his stepmom was waiting.

Isabella looked at her son carefully, only spotting a cut on his wrist. She sighed and pulled out some dried herbs to tend his cut. "You know you are not allowed outside due to such end times, young man. Why have you disobeyed me?" Isabella questioned. Loki hung his head, "I wanted to run a little to relieve my discomfort.."

When Madeleine, Loki's stepsister, came down the stairs, Benedict barked at her. " Hölhäl hund!" Loki scolded the him. Benedict whined and sat down next to Loki. Madeleine looked at the kitten she held, it was weak and constantly mewing for its mother's milk.

The kitten was rescued by Loki only a few days earlier. A guard killed a cat when a lady accused it for stealing her fish. And the lady was Madame Malone, and her husband was a wealthy businessman that worked in a fishing industry and had an allergy to cats. There was no such a job of pest control, the guards do the job. And the cat was this kitten's mother. With an addition to the mother cat's furry body lying on the road, there were three kittens lying next to her with no sign of life, a sign that the guard had also mauled the kittens to death. And this kit was the last of its litter. Loki had heard it's pitiful mews and was just in time to save it.

Lucky for them their neighbor had a cat which recently had given birth to a litter of kittens and was willing to share her milk for another kitten. But she would not let the kitten sleep with her. She would shove and push away the little kitten after letting it drink it's fill. Which was really strange.
Madeleine had always wanted a cat, and this kitten filled it in nicely.

After taking a shower, Loki lay sprawled on the love-seat and was flipping through a book on plants, every species of every tree and plant were written in this book, even magical ones. Suddenly there was a rapt knock on the door. When Loki went to answer, a man dressed in black stood in the doorway with a rifle in hand and a gruff voice. "I'm looking for Isabella Garcia? Is she here?"

"Who's that?" Isabella called out. Loki scanned the man for any clue to who he was, and slowly backed away when he realized... It was a S.I.A officer!

His stepmom came out of the kitchen a jar of freshly made strawberry jam in hand, when she saw him, a loud crash came from where jam and glass shards were all over the floor and that's when the screaming started.
