[IC] The Raven King ("Man With Horns" Sequel) { Jazz & Angel }

[AngelBites15]

The now queen Ravenna watched as the man was brought before her. Seeing him as a muscled and fine man, this task would be proven easy. Her thought was that if she could try and get him to do it. She kept an emotionless and a neutral face as he was brought before her. "My brother tells me you are a widower. A drunkard, and one of few who has ventured into the ancient forest", she tells him slowly as she kept her straight face on. "One of my prisoners has escaped there", she says with grim in her voice.

[Jazz]

The Huntsman looks to the queen as she looks him over of which he noticed as well as that what he wanted him to do. "Aye." He confirmed, looking at him as he rested his hands at his belt. Of course when she mentions a prisoner going into the dark forest, he couldn't help but smirk. "He's probably dead." He said straight and to the point.

[AngelBites15]

Ravenna looked at Finn as the Huntsman told them that Loki was probably dead by now. Could he be dead? "Find him. Bring him to me", she said slowly as she looked at him straight. "You will be rewarded, handsomely", she added.

[Jazz]

The Huntsman looked to the woman like she was insane. "No, I've been to that forest, I'm not going back. Besides what good is gold going to do me if I lay dead with crow picking at my eyes?" He asked, more really worried about his own safety than her bloody prisoner. There was no way on any mans hell was he going back to that forest. Screw it.

[AngelBites15]

"Bring him to me. Alive", she sneered with her order which sounded like a growl. "...and you will be rewarded", she said slowly with a face that was menacing. "Why he should be captured is none of your concern", she told him.

[Jazz]

Persistent the queen was from the huntsman's perspective. She really wanted that prisoner so badly it seemed. But the fact that she didn't think it was any of his concern was ridiculous. This prisoner had to be of some great value to her. "I'll determine what concerns me, thank you." He said as he folded his arms over his chest. "Besides. What if I refuse?" He asked.

[AngelBites15]

Knowing that he was wasting her time, she rolled her eyes. "You will do this for me, Huntsman!", she shouted in anger and annoyance. The yell caused silence to fall throughout the room. "If you refuse?", she repeated his question before her guards all level their spears at him. "To his knees", she tells the guards and they force him to his knees in front of her. "So you wish to be reunited with your beloved?", she asked as if it was a taunt.

[Jazz]

The Huntsman felt the taint tips of spears pointed at his gut, sides and back that he just chuckled, "Do me a favor, I beg of you." He said to them all up until the spears were removed from their spots and was them brought to his knees. Then she taunted him. About his wife no less. How it made his blood boil. "Don't you dare speak of my wife!" He growled, outraged.

[AngelBites15]

Ravenna smirked as she watched him tense as well as become angered. "You miss her. What would you give to see her again? You know of my powers, bring me the prisoner, and I will bring back your wife", she offered him as she kept the smirk upon her face.

[Jazz]

Keeping his eyes on the Queen before looking away to try and think about this. He considered her words but honestly would do anything to see her again. "Nothing can bring her back." He said, knowing it was impossible. Something like that could not happen.

[AngelBites15]

Ravenna smirked as she saw the Huntsman's thought process through his actions. He obviously misses his wife and he would anything to bring her back. This was going to be easy. "I can", she told him. "A life for a life", she said with a sinister grin on her face.

The Huntsman agreed to the queen's bargain, blinded with a lie, and along with Finn and his men, they rode far and wide to hunt the son of Maleficent down. Weak and powerless he was so, the fae had no where to go but into the hands of a possible attraction to man.

((You play Loki now))

[Jazz]

Loki awoke feeling a bit exhausted as he slowly got up and looked around to see that where he was, was no dream. He was in what was once the Moors, a once beautiful place for fairies that was now dark and decaying. A place he no longer was familiar with. Sitting up, he recalled what had happened and shivered with fear. Getting up was painful but knew he had to press on, get even further away from the Queen than he was now. Short lived it was however when he then began to hear rustling and the sound of hooves and footsteps. Loki hurried in getting as far away from whoever it was away from them. he thought that they maybe after him, no doubt the queen had put a bounty on his head to bring him back to her alive. So he picked up the pace. His muscles screamed at him to not do this, but he ignored the best he could. Unable to go give up to the whims of his aching muscles. So he soon was running, ducking under tree branches, weaving around trees, large rocks. Though unsure how far he had been and unsure where the end of the forest was, Loki then thought he was better to hide than to try and outrun them. He hid under a closely weaved dome of tree branches and other sorts, he hoped not to be found, not wanting to be caught. He even calmed his breathing and making sure it was like he was never there.

[AngelBites15]

Eric, along with Finn and his men, stop at the ark of the ancient forest that was once known as the Moors. Getting the job over with, he begins to use his hunting instincts to find his prize. Stopping Loki's tracks in the dirt, he notices that they are fresh, meaning Loki is not that far away. He walked farther from the group until he is alone. Walking a little farther, following the tracks of his target, he notices the disturbance in the trees. Without further notice, he striked his arm into the pile of branches until the figure of the other male was dragged out. Pulling him to his feet by gripping his arm, he notices that he was pale with the shoulder lengthed black raven hair. Not to mention that he saw the fear in the emerald green eyes. He kept the man in his grasp by the arm as he searches through his eyes. It was quite enchanting to see in such a being in admittance. But he was here to get what he wanted. His wife.

[Jazz]

Feeling he was safe was only a delusion. Feeling a rough hard grab his arm, Loki yelped as he was being forced out of his hiding spot. Loki struggled and tried to break free only to look at his captor. Suddenly he felt outraged as he saw the face of who he thought had died by his own hand. "You!" Loki moved his leg behind who he thought to be Thor, his ex lover, and who he thought to be dead by his hand. He then went to trip the man and use his moved his elbow to bring down on the man's stomach as he fell. If able to be free from his grasp, he got up quickly before he got up and then went for something to defend himself with. He grabbed a long stick that he felt similar to the scepter he had years ago. "You're dead! I saw you die!" He growled. Feeling his rage boiling, he hadn't felt this way about seeing Thor in a long time.

[AngelBites15]

Without further notice, the weak pale man striked. Sweeping him to the ground with a leg, he looks at the man holding a long stick at him as a weapon. He could tell that this man was scared. Died? What was he talking about? Eric thought it was probably nonsense after being a prisoner. "What are you talking about?!", he shouted at him. He soon gripped the stick and pulled it from the weak and terrified man harshly.

[Jazz]

This couldn't be a delusion. It felt and looked so real. Loki heard his ask what he was talking about only to enrage him more. When Thor gripped the stick to take it from him, he gripped it and swung it as he tried to pull the stick from him before letting go toward Thor to hit him before pulling away. "You know what I am talking about Thor! You're dead! You cannnot come back! It's impossible!" He slowly backed away as he tried to form a dagger of ice. However unable to. His magic was too weak with his physical and mental state of mind at the moment.

[AngelBites15]

Thor? He thought that he was Thor? What did Thor have against this man? Thor was Eric's older arrogant brother. The jerk and a player towards all lovers as well. He would usually just play them and use them to get into his bed. Perhaps this man had the same problem with him. He knew that his brother died in the hand of a certain individual who saved the kingdom from his paranoia. This weak man was probably that same person who slayed him. He heard stories of someone who killed the previous King. "Thor? He's dead", he told him before rolling up a sleeve and showing a spot on his arm that didn't have a mark like his brother. "I'm Eric, his younger twin", he told him before looking into his terrified emerald green eyes. He felt pity but he wouldn't be fooled by such tricks. "I'm taking you back to Asgard", he said as he walked towards him and holding his upper arm harshly before he begins walking back to the horses.

[Jazz]

Loki looked at the man who called himself Eric. He couldn't believe his eyes. Thor had a twin? Seeing the mark that was on Eric's arm, he remembered that Thor had no such mark. "What?...." He breathed out, not believing it. But the last thing he wanted was to go back to Asgard. Feeling his upper arm being grabbed he felt the pain. "Agh! Let go of me! Please! Please don't take me back! The Queen's going to kill me!" He still tried to resist but it hurt as he did. His fear was quite real.

[AngelBites15]

Eric kept dragging Loki, forcing him to walk forward as he kept his grip on his arm. "I'm sure she is", he responded in an emotionless tone as if he didn't care. "Quick work", a male voice says before Finn and his men show up. "Well done, Huntsman. Hand him over", he says to Eric as the Huntsman felt Loki struggle against his grasp. "What do you intend to do with him?", Eric asks him. "Why do you care?", Finn scoffed at his question before he steps closer to the two of them. "You want him? Give me what I was promised", Eric tells him as he remembered the deal that he had with the queen. "You did your job well. Now keep your word", Finn tells him as he looks at Loki with a menacing face. Eric keeps hearing Loki begging...

[Jazz]

Loki still tried to resist, trying to get free till it was too late. He saw Finn as his eyes widened. No, No! He couldn't go back, he didn't want the queen to prevail. He listened to the two talk, knowing that Finn wouldn't just let them go alive. He heard Eric talk about something Finn promised. Loki tried to talk some sense into this huntsman. "He will kill us both." He told the man. He ignored any of the man's words. "He will!" They both needed to get away. But only if the man would listen to him. Doubt he would with his mind set on whatever Finn promised.
