loki (616), nyx ulric

WHO: Nyx Ulric and Loki.
WHAT: Nyx's arrival and he's a confused boy.
WHERE: Town Square.
WHEN: Tuesday Evening.
RATING: Low?

The very last things Nyx remembered was wishing the young king a good rule, and nothing. It was darkness as his body burned away from the power with in him seeping out. The rulers of past weren't kidding. He was absolutely overflowing with the power from the Ring of Lucii and it was destroying his body from the inside out. He at least finished what he needed to. Things were going to finally be good for the kingdom. He did his honor well.

Except.

Nyx awoke with a desperate gasp of air being sucked in. He was laying on the ground. It was cold. Stone. The Glaive quickly stood up and looked about and then at himself. His hands were fine. His body wasn't burning away. Though his armor had seen better days still. He remembered the feeling of burning away, and he felt overly healthy. Just as he did the moment he made the agreement with the Kings of Past. Slowly Nyx ran his right hand over his left arm, over the bare skin now that his armor had been blown and burned away. The magic scaring wasn't there. It was all him. His right hand also touched his neck where he felt the burn of the magic eating away at him previously.

He was revived and normal.

Looking down he saw one of his kukris. The Insomnia designed one. The one he ended Titus' life with. Memento from where he came from? Where was he? Nyx bent down and picked up the weapon putting it in his sheath on his thigh. Nyx looked about and moved towards a strange table with simple items on it. A phone? Piece of paper? Nyx picked up the phone and put it in his pocket, and then read the directions. It was at his point Nyx's stomach shifted. He wasn't alone. Staring at the paper he let the uneasy feeling pull at him to allow for his training to guide him.

"I'm not looking for a fight." Nyx said out loud at the paper. "I am just very confused."

"Yes. That is accurate, but if you must think of it, isn't all of our names made up." Nyx countered. Though Nyx thought on the fact of the place being named after this man. It meant one of two things. Either this man who the town was named after was completely egotistical or he was a great man. Or both. Guess there was a third option.

No rulers? Who made the decisions on policy and laws? Having no governing factions made it incredibly difficult to continue as a society. At least Nyx thought. How did you punish a man for murder with out a law for it?

Stuck? Jailed? Imprisoned? These thoughts rapid fired through Nyx's mind as he took the information in. Was this is specific Destiny? From the God's or Kings of Old? Was it reason for him to be here? There had to be reason, or none. There was no conflict. Was this his chance for peace? So many questions that'd likely go unanswered. I apologize my King. This journey is now mine. Good luck. Nyx said his silent prayer to his king and smiled to the woman.

"Then it shall be." Nyx bowed his head politely. "I'm Nyx Ulric." He then offered his hand to the woman.

"That's how language works," Loki agreed, although that was a bit more on the side of semantics than she cared for. With names came power, and sometimes power over things. They were important, sometimes. Most of the time. Where Loki was from, anyway.

Here, on the other hand, Stark could keep his poorly named town - although it was rather clear that he hadn't been the one to really name it. That he kept it though, was telling in terms of ego.

And maybe greatness. Even if they were often enemies, Loki wouldn't discredit the good in Stark.

Nyx Ulric. An interesting name. For an interesting man who apparently was fine taking things in stride. Loki rose an eyebrow but took the offered hand. "Loki Laufeyson." Or Odinson. Sometimes, even Loki was not so sure what her name was. In this place, it didn't so much matter. "You must tell me your story properly some day," she said with a smile, nearly sharp. "I love a good story."

Semantics were something as it sounded. Though, Nyx never believed his own name was something that carried power. Sure King Regis was a widely respected man, but him? He was just a Glaive that people nicknamed Hero. Never allowing comrades to perish for no reason, and saving those he could.

Libertus.

His heart hurt at the thought. Though, to his knowledge he was tending to the princess and had got her out of the city.

"Pleasure is mine, Ms. Laufeyson." Nyx responded giving her an appropriately firm and respectful handshake. "It's funny, where I'm from I've heard of a Loqi. He was a general for Niflheim." Nyx thought on it. "I never crossed paths with him though." Shame, he'd of slayed him. "Though sometime, we may have to share stories. You seem like a woman who has some." Nyx offered a wry smile. "It's in the eyes."

"Loki is just fine," she corrected, because Ms. didn't feel very much like it suited. Certainly no more than Mr. might have. Sometimes, a first or last name basis was best. Or, Loki supposed, she could offer up one of her many titles, but that felt something like a moot point currently, as well.

"I'm not much of a general myself," she said, with a shrug, because being self assured about being the best Loki around was an easy thing. "Is it? The eyes, you say?" Loki smiled over that, amused. "As you say, Nyx. I'll leave you to explore, if it's all the same. I'm not much of a tour guide." And she'd gotten what she wanted, for now. A name for a face, and enough information to run with for later if need be.

Loki it was. Of course, Nyx didn't understand the full force that was the woman before him. Of course, that also didn't matter to Nyx. Gods were real where he came from, and they could be beaten. But this woman wasn't attacking him or causing him to feel on edge. "Alright. Just Loki." Nyx offered a smile.

"I'm not a general or anything personally." Which was true. Hailed a hero, and never a rank. Nyx didn't want it anyway. He wanted to be on the line with his brothers and sisters. "It is. The eyes hold many secrets." Nyx commented.

"Well, if you must be off, Ms- Loki. I will leave you be. I will explore, and find my way." With that he bowed his head politely and started his journey, and that would be finding a high up perch to get the lay of the land. Pulling his kukri he wound back and threw the weapon high and through the air. Turning back for a moment, he gave a small salute and vanished in blue particles as he warped to his weapon.
