[Hammer Base] White Night

The mountain peak is shrouded in thick fog and towers into the sky.

On the top of its knife-cut vertical slope, there is a small shadow shaking.Although surrounded by clouds and mist, Thor can still make out that it is his brother Loki.

His heart was excited in an instant, he called Loki's name, and wanted to fly directly to the top of the unfathomable slope, but right now he didn't have that great strength.

He was afraid that the little figure would suddenly walk into the mist and never be found.So he endured the danger of his foot slipping and falling into the bottom of the valley and his body being smashed to pieces and the pain of his gradually numb knees supporting his body. He grabbed the weathered stones that seemed to be crushed with his hands, accelerated his pace, and climbed up bit by bit.

"Thor Odinson." A voice resounding through the sky broke the silence.

Thor looked up, and the gravel under his feet began to vibrate continuously. A giant gradually sat up from the mountain peak, like a person buried in the fine sand on the beach. The giant's body was embedded in the mountain peak, blending with the mountain.If Fandral asks him what a giant looks like in the future, then Thor will tell him at this time that he will have nightmares when he sees it.

The giant's skin looked like cracked ground, blood vessels and musculature could be clearly seen, the head was small but the body was large, there were dense protrusions on the face, and the eyes shone with cloudy brown light.

"You are Thor Odinson," the giant repeated.

"Yes, I am the son of Odin. I have come to my brother."

The giant laughed, his voice sounded like a saw blade sawing a stone, "Who is your brother?"

"Loki Odinson."

"Oh, he's also the son of Odin." The ugly laughter still didn't stop.

Thor looked towards the place where Loki appeared just now, and found that Loki was gone, he became restless, but still asked patiently, "Yes, is he here?"

"Here he is," answered the Giant. "You may take him, but when it is done he shall belong here forever."

"What did you say?!"

Thor's question was tinged with anger, and an unquestionable thought quickly took hold of his consciousness - for some reason, Loki was forced to be trapped in Utgard, the kingdom of evil giants.

The giant shook his body, and suddenly there was a sound of landslides and ground cracks. His laughter was mixed with flying sand and rocks, making him appear proud and ferocious.He bared his dirty teeth - if those broken stones were his teeth - and said, "Loki Odinson came to Utgard not long ago, and made a deal with me. If it's done, he'll be a part of it forever. "

Thor stared at the ugly giant and asked, "What the hell? You forced him to agree?"

The giant seemed a little dissatisfied. He bent down his huge body to look at the young Thor, and hummed, "Norvi has never bothered to do such a thing."

Thor was startled, the monster in front of him turned out to be the time giant Norvi. Utgard was an evil place of his creation.He didn't give up the idea of ​​attacking Asgard for a day, but he didn't dare to attack rashly because he was afraid of the strength of Asgard's defense system.

"What agreement did he make with you?"

The giant seemed to have lost interest in Thor's explanation, and he continued to lie on the ridge, replying, "I think he should know best himself."

Thor continued to ask several times, but Norvi didn't answer, he seemed to be asleep.

The haze surrounded the entire mountain again, and within the line of sight, except for the white clouds, there was thick fog, and nothing on it could be seen.Darkness enveloped the entire Utgard, and the mountain road turned into an infinite spiral of darkness.

Thor waved the Mjollner and kept calling Loki's name, but no one answered.Because of his violent movements, his foot slipped, and he fell under the endless dark cliff.

The rapid fall and the blowing wind made him experience the feeling of weightlessness.He thinks he might die, he's not scared at all, just regret and worry - he didn't find Loki.where will he beIs it still safe and sound?

With the breeze blowing, Thor opened his eyes, and he vaguely felt that there was light in the haze.

The shimmering light gradually enveloped his body and gently lifted him up. Thor felt his body become as light as velvet, it was an indescribable feeling.

—He floated up like a leaf.

He looked around, and it was still dark, but he found all of Utgard at his feet.

"Thor." The sound of leaves falling like drops of water.

A person was walking towards him against the light, his face could not be seen clearly, only the figure of a woman could be recognized, the figure was graceful under the purple robe, and the long black hair was tied behind her head.She brought warm sunshine and spring breeze.

"Thor, don't be afraid, I'm Karnilla." The voice was still gentle.

"Karnilla...?" Thor pulled out the name deep in his memory, far away, as ancient as the air at the beginning of chaos, "Witch Karnilla?"

"Yes." The witch's voice was soft and ethereal, with a little sadness, she said, "but now it's just a soul, a soul wandering in Utgard."

"Nostalgic for the homeland of the past?" Thor guessed.

The witch smiled slightly. Under the dim light, her brown ankles were as stable as the earth.

"I have never left Nornheim since the Norvi invaded our land," said the witch. "Oh no, it is no longer called that. Now it is called Utgard, where you are now."

This tragic war of aggression Thor once heard from his father that the time giant Norvi shamelessly occupied Nornheim by turning the people of Nornheim ruled by the witch Karnilla into stone and dust, and renamed it Utgard, the kingdom of giants.He stuck a nail between the witch's eyebrows so that the witch would always exist in the form of a soul.

"I'm looking for my brother Loki, have you seen him?"

Thor has no time to think about it, he just wants to find Loki quickly and get him out of this damn place as soon as possible.

"Thor, I just came here to tell you something." The witch's expression suddenly became serious.

She paused, as if considering Thor's ability to bear it, "Loki has told Norvi about the weakness of Asgard's defense system, and the giants will invade your country soon. This is their agreement."

Thor's brain buzzed, and his ears were deaf for a moment, and he could hardly hear Karnilla's words clearly. He felt the blood all over his body rushing to his brain in an instant, and his thinking was almost frozen.He murmured dully, "What did you say?"

The witch repeated the conclusion she had just said, saying every word very clearly, "Loki has sold his soul to Norvi, he is a traitor to Asgard."

Thor murmured and struggled with almost aphasic dullness, "I don't believe it. Loki wouldn't do that."

"The evil god is always more cunning than you can imagine. If you don't believe me, I can take you to him." As if to prove the correctness of this sentence, the beautiful witch asked Thor to grab her ankle and lead him straight Rush to the sky.

Thor watches as Karnilla takes him across the mountains and deserts of the Land of Giants, eventually placing him on top of a mountain.

Thor looked up and saw a temple of sacrifices.

Karnilla raises her hand and draws a symbol in the air, saying to Thor, "I will always protect you." Then she disappears like smoke.

In an instant, the sky became completely dark, and the night had come. Thor walked towards the temple without hesitation.It was the temple of the kingdom of giants, empty and lonely, and its scale was more than twice as large as that of Asgard's Hall of Valor. The sound of Thor's footsteps echoed in the gloomy temple, which seemed very strange.

"Loki!" The moonlight shone on the curtain of the temple, and Thor saw a figure swaying.

"elder brother."

Loki's voice.Thor heard such a familiar voice, but it seemed to be separated by several layers of mountains. Questions overshadowed surprises, and his mood was very complicated.He didn't know what to ask his brother, nor how Loki would answer him.

Loki stepped out from behind the pillar. Under the moonlight, his figure became thinner and his face remained indifferent.

Thor runs quickly to Loki, hugging him tightly.

"You found me anyway." Loki's voice became high-pitched, but fragile, as if it would shatter if touched.

"Come home with me," Thor said harshly, waiting for the next second when Loki would grab his hand and go home.

But the next second, he was pushed away violently by Loki.

"No!" Loki's voice was tense, like a piece of brocade that was about to be torn, full of oppression.

"Why?" Thor finally couldn't help it, and asked in a soft voice as if he was crushed.

"Because I belong here and I can't leave."

Thor is dazed for a moment, then shocked.It dawned on him that Loki was admitting something Thor didn't want to believe.

He grabs Loki's thin shoulder and asks, "Why?"

"No comment."

The air suddenly froze, stalemate, terrible stalemate.Temple in Utgard.Between the two sons of Odin.

Finally, Thor finally said,

"Because you made a deal with Norvi?"

Loki stands in front of Thor without moving.They were facing each other, eye to eye.

"Yes."

"The giants will attack Asgard?"

"Yes."

"You told the Norvi about the weakness of Asgard's defenses?" Thor said. "Have you betrayed Asgard?"

Loki froze for a moment, the moonlight cutting sharp arcs on his face.He looked at this brother who was usually reckless, arrogant, fearless but with tender feelings, and for the first time a strange expression appeared on his face.A questioning look that he fears and loathes the most.

He pursed his lips, but did not answer.

"Loki, answer me!"

A gleam flashed in Loki's eyes, but he realized it quickly.

He struggled to smile.

"Yes."

"why?"

"Because it's fun." Loki replied simply.

"No! You wouldn't do it, there must be another reason! You're not like this..."

"How well do you know me?" Loki sneered. "Yeah, I just wanted to betray Asgard, don't you forget? I wanted to kill you guys when I was little. It's always been my dream."

"Does it have to be like this?" Thor's voice trembled so much that even he couldn't believe it.He treats him so well, tolerates all his willfulness and deceit, loves him, protects him, and does his best not to let him suffer any harm.No matter how the people of Asgard doubted and belittled him, he always stood up to defend him and trust him.Let him lean in your arms, give him comfort, even a little bit of warmth.

He just wanted to let him know that there were still people in this world who cared about him.

But now he realizes that he has been deceived by his brother's trusting face all this time, he always thought that Loki only likes to play pranks for fun, and no matter how mischievous he is, there is no great malice.He didn't expect that one day, Loki would go even further and want to send the whole of Asgard to hell.It turned out that he had never apologized or felt guilty, let alone regretted it!If Karnilla hadn't told him, maybe he wouldn't know who the culprit was until the giants trampled Asgard down.

He thought painfully that the dream he had had all along was real.

Saying nothing has changed. Loki is still Loki, the mischievous but not betrayal younger brother.

He said that everything in the dream he never wanted to happen, even if, as Frigga said, Loki would cause big trouble one day.

It's all a joke!

"Loki, you are too much! I can tolerate any tantrum from you and allow you to say all kinds of cruel words. Because I know that your heart is not as violent and cruel as your appearance. But I didn't expect you to be so vicious that there is no cure You can lie to anyone, even if you lie to me, I don't care, but why do you betray the people of Asgard and betray your country?"

Thor spoke hoarsely, he couldn't control the anger and pain on his face.

"Do you believe my words, or do you believe me?" Loki's smile froze on his face.He said it lightly, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him.But after he finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Thor's face to see his expression, and now he only cared about the answer to this question.

Thor only now regretfully realizes that he loves him so much, and if he doesn't love him, he won't be in such heartbreaking pain at the moment, because he believes in his heart, his longing struggle, and his fragility and kindness , and believed all his pretense.

"I believe, I used to trust you very much, and I believed every word you said, but you betrayed me, betrayed my father, and betrayed Asgard!" Thor's red eyes showed violent anger. Isn't that enough? Is there one more sentence you say is true! Is there another expression that is true?"

Loki's face gradually began to reveal ice blue, the totem-like lines gradually became clear, and his eyes became more and more red.But there was no expression on his face.He spoke quietly,

"Brother, you say you believe me, but you are trembling with disgust in your heart."

Thor didn't expect Loki to say such a thing at all, he never thought that he would hate this brother, in fact, his love had sunk into his bone marrow and fused into his blood, that's why he broke down like this when he learned the truth.

"A liar's heart is made of iron, and his blood is cold. He is a traitor who will be cast aside even after death." Loki gave Thor a proud smile, "You have an impressive younger brother, Thor."

Thor's face changed suddenly, and he clenched his fists sullenly, as if preparing to punch Loki hard in the face.

Loki lifts his chin, looking Thor in the eye.

"Boom—" He suddenly slammed hard on the wall behind Loki, and the temple suddenly made a loud bang.

The loud noise of the temple was accompanied by echoes, which lasted for a long time.During this time, a woman's voice was piercingly and strangely floating in the sky.

"Thor Odinson, what is disturbing your mind?"

"Who?" Thor looked up to find the source of the voice, "Karnilla?!"

"Is that you, Karnilla?" Thor growled.

A burst of laughter resonated around, Karnilla's winding figure appeared in the thick fog, and cruel haze flashed across her beautiful face.

"Thor, when did you show mercy to the traitor? Because he's your brother?"

"What did you say?"

"Son of Odin, I really misjudged you. It seems that I can only change the plan now." The witch smiled treacherously, "I am very satisfied with the result of letting Odin's two sons die at my hands."

Thor was shocked, "Why did you do that?!"

"When the Norvi invaded Nornheim, Odin didn't stand up to help us. I lost my home and became a wandering spirit forever! So, I want him to taste the loss of his family!"

Thor only felt his breath suffocating from his chest, and he blurted out, "My father told me about that, and he was sleeping at that time. He would fall into a deep sleep every once in a while, and there was really nothing he could do that time!"

"I don't care what the reason is! He chose to escape when we were most helpless, and I want him to pay the price!" The witch roared, "I wanted to use a lie to let you deal with your brother first, and I will deal with you later. Now it seems that it is not bad for the two of you to die together." The resentful and shrill voice sounded like the roar of a demon in my ears.

Thor reacts instantly - he's misunderstood Loki.

He looks back at Loki, pained and regretful. Loki doesn't speak, his green eyes are fixed on Karnilla, he doesn't look at Thor, not even from the corner of his eye.

"It's time, you should go to hell."

Huge columns shook, dust kicked up, and the dome began to crumble with a horrible creak.The strange flame flashed hot sparks and surrounded the entire temple.

The temple was about to collapse, and if he didn't escape in time, both he and Loki would die here.

As Thor scrambled to avoid the danger of the collapse, his eyes searched for signs of Loki.No corners, steps, or windows were found.He began to worry.Bricks and decorations fell one after another, dust rose, and Thor's vision was lost.

Loki, where are you Loki?

Flames were blowing in his face, the scene was chaotic, danger was everywhere, and the heavy objects falling could kill him at any moment, but he only cared about where Loki was.

In the midst of the confusion, Thor suddenly touches the cold skin - a hand grips him tightly.Before he could react, he was sucked into the dazzling blue light.

After a period of dizziness, Thor found himself falling behind a huge rock, and a dull wind sounded in the sky, rolling up the dust on the mountain wall and blowing towards his face.It was night, and Utgard, the country of giants, did not know when it began to rain.

Loki was lying not far from him, his arm slowly turning from gray blue to white, and Loki saved him.

But he looks tired.

"Loki!" A strange expression appeared on Thor's surprised face, a little surprised and a little lost, and more of a bewilderment.

Loki didn't even turn his head, looking thoughtfully at the dark night sky.The cold rain drenched him thoroughly, and his clothes were very thin, and they were already tightly attached to his chest after being soaked by the rain. He was so thin that his ribs could be counted when the clothes were so thin.He was completely submerged like a fish, like a fish that didn't breathe.

He said slowly, "I left the image of you and me in the temple. I can fool Karnilla temporarily, but I can't escape her control area. She drew a symbol in front of the temple. After tonight, we will still Go back to the temple. But you can rest assured for a while, she won't find it here, at least not tonight."

"Loki..." Thor didn't know how to apologize to him, it seemed that he had a lot to say, but he didn't seem to have anything to say.

Loki interrupted him, as if to find a step for him, "Find a place to shelter from the rain, and if you keep drenching like this, you'll freeze to death before Karnilla finds you."

Thor's heart softened. "I'm sorry," he said.He felt that he was really not worthy of being an older brother, anyone could disbelieve Loki, why not even himself.The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, the whistling wind and the pattering rain seemed to him to be Loki's reprimand to him, he would rather punch him a few times, or taunt him severely than Better now.

Loki was torturing him with indifference, gouging out his heart with seemingly indifference.

He knew him, he knew that Loki would only react like this when he was heartbroken and hopeless.He called out in a low voice, "Loki..." Although it disappeared like a whisper in the harsh wind and rain.

But Loki heard it.He still didn't answer.But Thor saw his gaze falter for a moment.

It seemed like a bright light in the dark night, giving him endless hope, and he was overjoyed, "Loki, I'm sorry..."

Loki stood up while leaning on the rough and uneven rock, his silhouette under the dim light of the rainy night looked like a shell that had been emptied.He closed his eyes, as if he was trying to avoid the inner struggle that came to him.

"Enough!" He could only stop Thor's call with this sentence, even though the door in his heart was about to be knocked open by the gentle force of the person in front of him.

"I'm sorry, forgive me, I wronged you."

"You are right. You are Thor Odinson, the proud son of heaven, and you are favored by all kinds of things. How can you be wrong?"

"Loki, it's not…"

"I don't need you to fake an apology to me. It's dishonoring to believe a liar, Thor."

"Loki!..."

Loki's long hair was wet from the heavy rain, sticking to his face in fine pieces. He turned his face sideways, looked into Thor's eyes, and said in a calm tone, "Do you remember the wolf that the black elf gave you when you were young? It I liked you very much, and was afraid that I would scratch you, so I smoothed my sharp claws. But you suspected that it had hurt the queen, so you abandoned it. It died not long after."

Thor immediately understood what Loki meant, he was shocked that he would use this as a weapon to question him, he opened his mouth with difficulty, but felt that it was useless.

"I know I'm wrong, I shouldn't doubt it..."

"Is it useful to say this now? Will the wolf come back to life?"

Only then did Thor feel how helpless he was. He thought nothing in this world could stop him, but he felt that no matter what he couldn't face Loki's questioning. Loki raised his quills like a hedgehog, delivering a savage blow to every malicious visitor.However, because he pulled out his thorns and smoothed his claws, exposing the softest part of his heart, he didn't have fundamental trust in him.

He abandoned him when he needed his trust the most.

He was his reliance, but he abandoned him forcefully.

"You are my brother, Loki, you are different." There was nothing he could do but repeat, "I will never do this to you again, I swear."

"Shut up, don't say any more high-sounding words, you have taken away everything that belongs to me, my friend, my father." Loki paused, as if he couldn't stop controlling his emotions, and his tears would roll Falling.

But his eyes were dry and seemed to have no moisture at all.He gasped heavily, the corners of his mouth turned up, and put on vicious words, "Thor, you are the cruelest liar and robber!"

These words stimulated Thor's nerves, he pushed Loki down on the rock angrily, or anxiously, grabbed Loki's hand, pressed it behind him, leaned on the rock wall and kissed it directly.

Thor thinks he must be crazy, this is the first time he's been rough on Loki.But he had no choice.

His powerful strength made Loki grunt, and was soon lost in the rain and fog. Loki struggled to break free, tried to break free, but seemed to be nailed to the rock.

He didn't know why Thor treated him like this, he frowned, all he could do was grit his teeth and refuse to penetrate deeper.

Thor, unsuccessful, stops, moving away from Loki's thin lips.he asked in a low voice,

"do you hate me?"

"Of course!" Loki's voice cut like a knife.

Disappointment turned into more frenzied brutality, Thor pulled Loki's neckline open, and almost frantically kissed his bare, rain-soaked skin, paler under the overwhelming rain.

The icy rain poured down, and the two people were like two water plants struggling in the water, tightly entwined.

Thor's body temperature pressed heavily against his chest, but unexpectedly Loki felt his cold body start to warm up.The contact between skin and lips was dizzying, and the continuous sex sounds seemed to burst through his throat.

But he restrained himself, he knew he couldn't have this reaction in front of Thor, he was not Thor's toy, not his pet.He doesn't want this comfort, he wants Thor's all.

[-]% love, and trust.

"Thor, you'll regret it!" he says, panting against Thor's neck, but his words don't slow Thor down.

Loki looked at the rain-drenched blond hair beside his ear, bit his lower lip and grunted, then lowered his head and bit hard on the most flexible place where Thor's shoulder and neck meet, biting his teeth unceremoniously, enough to cut through His solid musculature.

The wound was torn open and dripping with blood.

He managed to stop Thor from moving.

Thor looks sideways at the scars and blood on his neck, at Loki's aloof face like a wounded beast.The pain in the neck quickly grew like a vine to the bottom of his heart, piercing his heart like a thorn.

"You'll regret it, brother," Loki said, blood still oozing from the corners of his mouth.
