Of Gods and Monsters
Introduction
I come from a land where Gods and Monsters exist. They’re not just stories parents tell their children to keep them in line. They’re real, they’re vicious, cruel and most of all powerful. And I’m not even talking about my own parentage.
My father is a Frost Giant that was raised on Asgard. My mother is a Giantess living in Jötunheimr. For years, our little family was kept a secret. Then a prophecy was spoken that changed everything. The prophecy spoke of three siblings that would cause much chaos and destruction. Odin fearing this would be true, tore us away from Jötunheimr. He feared we would be the siblings, not because of our mother’s nature. But because of the nature of our father, Loki.
Years we spent on Asgard. My brothers had it fairly easy. But due to my scars and nasty appearance, I was avoided a lot. I was alone, made fun of. I went to Odin, begging for him to allow me to leave. And despite all the stories I’ve heard about the All Father, he let me. He gave me my own little nook in the primordial realm of Niflheim; the land of ice. He gave me Helheim, a place where I’m alone to rule over the dead.
Centuries have past and I remain at my post, doing everything Odin wanted me to do. But something happens when I hear about what my father has done while on Midgard. I must travel to Midgard and fix the things my father has done in order to save him. I must leave my post and travel to the world filled with mortals and their every judging glares; all because I love my father the trickster..
