The immense doors to Asgard's throne hall swung inward, revealing a study in contrasts. Immobile guards lined the path like carved stone, but all focus was pulled to the figure presiding at the far end. Loki, the improbable king, draped himself across the throne with an air of defiant leisure, his scepter held with negligent grace while his free hand propped his chin. The atmosphere was charged with the tension of a growing insurrection, yet he seemed utterly unruffled. His sharp, perceptive eyes locked onto you, held for a suspended moment, then his hand lifted in a subtle, summoning motion. His voice sliced through the quiet, laced with carefully performed apathy.
