[ it was a long trek to get where they needed to go. there were more tourist-traveled paths. safer ones. but this one comes from memories long past so loki let his feet guide him to where they needed to be. it's strange. the land has changed, the people has changed and yet, it feels no different, even on this unknown earth.

perhaps that is simply the nature of gods. their stories tie them everywhere.

he glances at sephiroth. ]

You're not cold are you?

[dothelokimotion]

I should think so! I'd be worried otherwise.

[unkindled_madness]

Surely you wouldn't still worry at this point. I've already claimed all of you.

[dothelokimotion]

[ his cheeks go pink again. ]

Perhaps "worry" was an exaggeration.

[unkindled_madness]

[He gives Loki's hand a tug and leans in to kiss him on the cheek.]

Perhaps just a faint concern.

[dothelokimotion]

[ he smiles at that. ]

It'll go dimmer by the second, I'm sure.

[unkindled_madness]

We'll drown it out.

[dothelokimotion]

Mm. Until there's nothing but us.

[unkindled_madness]

What we are is quite a lot, so it won't be difficult.

[dothelokimotion]

That's true.

[unkindled_madness]

[He gives Loki's hand another squeeze and looks skyward.]

How do you think we compare?

[dothelokimotion]

Compare to?

[unkindled_madness]

The sky here. Are we brighter?

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki looks up at the sky. the lights were starting to weave their way through the night. they are still a stunning sight.

and yet. ]

Far, far brighter.

[unkindled_madness]

I thought so.

But it is still a remarkable sight.

[dothelokimotion]

I thought you might like it.

[unkindled_madness]

I do.

...are there myths about it?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he hums. ]

A few. Some believe the Nothern lights heralded the dawn. Others believed it held portents of doom.

Here, I think they associate it with the Wild Hunt.

[unkindled_madness]

The Wild Hunt is also an ill omen, isn't it?

[dothelokimotion]

The mortals see it that way. The Wild Hunt led by the Oensjægeren. Odin's hunters. Sometimes they see spectres. Death. Sometimes it brings blessings.

Our stories were always double-edged swords.

[unkindled_madness]

I suppose that's not so different from how Odin is seen on my Planet.

[dothelokimotion]

On your planet?

[unkindled_madness]

A god of death, he comes to claim the souls of those who fell in battle. However, should he rally to your side, then victory is assured.

...they're only stories, though.

[dothelokimotion]

[ loki falls silent. a god of death. like hela. ]

. . . I see.

[unkindled_madness]

...that troubles you?

[dothelokimotion]

[ he smiles faintly before shaking his head. ]

No. It's just a little ironic.
