The Raven King ("Man With Horns" Sequel) { Jazz & Angel }

When the pond began to bubble, Loki quickly got to his feet as he then watched everything that happened in that one pond with awe, wonder, and disbelief. Watching the raven's morph into her garb, and soon done, the fae watched as his mother touched the water's surface and then sing to fairies that were nearby as if unaware that he was ever there. This broke his heart. He didn't know what to do. He thought that she would notice him. See him and welcome him with open arms, a reunion of them being apart for so long. Watching her, he took his first steps toward her cautiously. "Mother? It's me. Loki." When he walks close enough toward her, he tried to lay and hand on her shoulder. Hoping she would see him, hear him. Recognize him.

The Dwarves watched the scene and in awe as the raven haired man went to the pond and touched it, seeing all that they saw were all speechless. Not wanting to say a word.

Loki too noticed the small pond when they got. The dwarves stayed back a fair distance as Loki walked toward the pond slowly. When he reached the ponds edge, he noticed a familiar in the pond. His eyes too widened as he slowly kneeled to one knee. His emotion hit him in a bit wave that he didn't know what all to feel. "M-Mother?" He managed to ask as he reached his hand out, touching the water's surface. Disturbing the water as ripples were made.

Yes. Loki was more annoyed now and seeing that this was going nowhere, he decided to intervine. "Gold is worth nothing to you if you are all dead! The queen's men hunt us, they are very close!" He shouted over them all. "Shut up" Gort says to the man behind the Huntsman. Loki's eyes widened. "You have love for the queen." Beith chuckled. "Oh, we have no love for the queen." He told the raven haired man. "Then you fight against her?" Loki asked. "No one fights against the queen." Quert interjected. "We lost everything when the king died." Coll said next with sorrow in his voice. "We fight only for ourselves." Duir declared as the rest nodded. "My mother was Maleficent." Loki blurted out. Beith looked shocked before looking to Muir. "Muir, does he speak the truth?" He asked. "Yes, he is of the blood. He is destined, Beith. I see an end to the darkness." He sounded relieved as if a weight was lifting from his shoulders. Beith then had them cut down. Loki groaned when he fell to the ground but he got up and the Dwarves had them both follow them.

Entering through some foliage and through a cave, the eight dwarves, Eric and Loki entered a forest that was full of green and bright. Loki could hear the music of faries and instantly brightened up, feeling instantly at home. However Nion was not liking the music. "Blasted fairy music." Nion groaned. Gort chuckled. "Here. Good thing there's plenty of moss about." He said as he picked up some moss and handed some to Nion. "Where are we?" Loki asked, his tone changed to curiosity and wonder." "They call it 'Sanctuary', me lord. It's the home of the fairies." Gus answered. Loki looked all around him, even resorting to walking backwards to see everything around him. He never felt so light like he did just now.

Loki rolled his eyes during this whole process of talk as he just wanted to get down as well but knew that this chatter was getting them no where. Tell them the truth, Eric. There's no time! They might find us soon!" Loki told him. He didn't want others to get hurt because of him. He already felt guilty for the deaths of the women and children, he didn't need it to come to others that they come across, meaning the dwarves. "Yeah, pull the other one, you lying dangler!" Nion said with frustration. Beith was curious as to what this man behind the Huntsman was talking about. "Who is he?" He asked.

(Lol! I know. I had to make sure instead of assume.)
Loki tried to look behind Eric to get a better look at the dwarves but was unsuccessful. Beith spoke up. "Oh! No! No! No, you buttock! This is how I treat a friend." And on time, Beith hit Eric in the stomach with the handle of his weapon. One of the eight dwarves was examining Loki. "He's pretty." Gus pointed out. Beith then leaned over to the side to see the man behind the Huntsman. "Mm. And who's this, hey? Is it an errant apprentice or captive?" He asked. Loki answered. "This man is helping me." He was feeling a bit uncomfortable as well as a bit frustrated.

Coll, another of the eight spoke up. "We should kill'em both!" Duir agreed. "Yeah, he's caused us nothing but trouble." Coll nodded. "Skewer'em both." Duir then stepped closer to Loki and the Huntsman. "I'll do it." "Good." Coll said. However a masked elderly dwarf step in to stop them. "Leave him alone Duir." He said. So Duir stepped back.

During this time Quert had been going through his codpiece. "He's got nothing. One silver coin and an empty codpiece." And so took the silver coin and threw the codpiece at the Huntsman. "Two days we sit here, what for? Nothing?" Gort was obviously frustrated as he hit Eric in the stomach. "We should have stayed by the river! What a waste of time!" Nion said just as frustrated.

(All of them? I don't mind.)
Loki had noticed something off but was unable to say anything till it was far too late and was bound as well with Eric. He bumped his head against the man's after he said something. He winced as he struggled a little. "How do we get out of this?" He asked as he then saw some small figures come from hiding. "Uh oh." Was all he said as he then stopped struggling. "This is our lucky day." Beith said with a smirk as he saw the huntsman hanging from the tree. He noticed another man there but didn't care much for him at the moment. "The hedgepig I loath most in the world, lands right in our lap." He continued as he used his weapon now as a cane to lean on.

Loki had no idea how long he had been crying for but he felt a hand on his shoulder and wiped his tears as best as he could as he then looked to the Huntsman with red teary eyes. Hearing what seemed to be a promise, he nodded before slowly getting up. He knew he had to get up, move on. Taking a breath, he slowly calmed himself down. Ready to press on when the Eric was.

Loki tried to get himself free from Eric worried about the woman that helped them. "But we just leave them!" He tried to tell him. Their safety felt like a priority to him. The woman that helped the two looked to them and heard their dispute. "Go! We'll be fine! Just go!" She said before Loki then felt guilt before leaving them and going to Eric. He didn't want to leave but felt at a loss.

That morning when they made it out of the Swampy grasslands and into a forest. Loki felt tired from all the running they had done since the attack. Falling to his knees, he felt tired, hurt, and sad. "We should have never some there...Should have kept going..." He cried. He wondered how many woman died, how many children died. It only reminded him of his dear Silena and her stillborn child. How they died. Pain just weighed too much for him.

All Loki saw was a shine at the corner of his eye before he looked behind him to see a man had tried to kill him but only to be struck by a small axe. Loki was startled by this as he then looked around to see Eric. "We need to help them get out of here!" He said as he still tried to help the children and women onto the boats.

Loki had been sleeping that night when he woke up. He felt something was wrong. Not right. Sitting up in his bed, Loki looked around and smelled something odd but couldn't place it till he heard something as he then saw something bright. "No no no no!" He saw fire and he knew what he had to do. Seeing that the little girl was in here and asleep, he woke her up. "Come on, we need to get out of here." And so he helped her out as he then saw that the village was being set ablaze. Men on horses were all around as he tried to help the women and children escape. What he didn't see was a man coming to attack him.
