Lord Shadow

EARTH PRIME

PRESENT TIME

'Hey Loki, are you listening?' as a hand slapped him on his back. The woman with the bow looks at Loki and then sighed as she leaves the room.

But before she leaves the room she said

'Remember, guard him well. He is our prisoner now. Do your magic and make him talk. I want to rest'

'Uh..yes.' Loki said as he looks in front of him. There was a prisoner in front of him. Five feet tall, curly hair, black skin and a little chubby.

His face is haggard.

But Loki recognizes him.

Or to be more accurate, he knows the man in front of him in the future.

The man that will one day make a deal with him and also the one who sacrifices his life in the Great Battle.

He is also the one who constructed a Golden Red Chain to bind the Prince.

Loki still remembers the scene. A million men grab the chain to hold the Prince down. What a magnificent sight! What a magnificent battle!

At the time he was famous as the God of Steel, Arno. A half step to Sovereign stage. But now, there is no trace of the man he will one day become.

Loki looks at the prisoner in front of him and for a while he was amused. So, the Prisoner, Sofia capture was Arno. She sure can pick them right!

'What you are looking at?' Arno said defiantly as he looks at Loki smiling at him creepily.

'Nothing' Loki said as he couldn't contain his urge to laugh. Who would have thought that he would meet Arno now…at this time....and at this place.

At that time Loki did not know why the Prince was intending to kill Arno and Giselle but when The Great Battle commence, he finally understand.

The Prince sees the future and as such he sees the future where he was brought to his knees by Arno and Giselle.

Of course the Prince vision and the circumstances leading to such events were not something the Prince knew.

If he knew what would happen, truly knows what will happen, he might not stop Arno at that time and even invest in his strength.

Because….Loki knows during that Great Battle, the Prince wishes to be tied down by the chain.

Because only then could he be constrained. Only then, the world has a chance.

That's the thing about the future. That the thing about the Prince abilities. It was like a puzzle. One wrong piece and the picture will be different.

Loki looking at Arno sighed. But, Arno needs to be released. He needs to do exactly what he did the first time this all happened.

Because if not…..then that event might not happened. And Loki needs it to happen.

Because then…there will be a chance. But…for now…he needs Arno to spill about Sina whereabouts.

Arno, the Arno of this time, is still only a recruit in the World Government and not that stubborn oaf in the future.

Loki then smiles sheepishly while coming closer to Arno, his blue eyes stares at that hazel eyes of Arno and he said.

'It is better you spill all you know about Sina or I promise you, that your time here inside this place will not be pleasant' saying this, Loki went to close the door and then the sound of a man screaming can be heard.
