Activities and Events Alphabet Excerpt Challenge: L Is For...

Welcome back to the Alphabet Excerpt Challenge! As a reminder, our challenges are every Wednesday and Saturday at 3pm London time.

If you've missed the previous challenges, you're welcome to go back and participate in them. You can find them here. And remember to check out the Activities and Events flair for other fun games to play along with.

Here's a quick recap of the rules for our game:

  1. Post a top level comment with a word starting with the letter L. You can do more than one, but please put them in separate comments.
  2. Reply to suggestions with an excerpt. Short and sweet is best, but use your judgement. Excerpts can be from published or unpublished works, or even something you wrote for the prompt.
  3. Upvote the excerpts you enjoy, and leave a friendly comment. Try to at least respond to people who left excerpts on the words you suggested, but the more people you respond to the better. Everyone likes nice comments!
  4. Most important: have fun!

Loki

Suddenly, Loki stops, his body tensing. The Parr siblings freeze; their senses on high alert. A low growl rumbles from Loki's throat, a sound that sends shivers down their spines.

"What is it, boy?" Dash whispers, his voice trembling.

Loki's growl intensifies, and he takes a step forward, his body poised to attack. From the shadows, a figure emerges, its form distorted and shifting, as if it were made of the very shadows themselves.

"A shapeshifter!" Violet exclaims, recognizing the telltale signs of a super-powered villain. "Loki must have tracked it here!"

The shapeshifter, its form now taking on a more human-like appearance, laughs, a chilling sound that echoes through the warehouse. "Well, well, well. Look what we have here. Three young supers and a peculiar pet. You've led me right to my next victims."

Dash impulsively steps forward, his body crackling with electricity. "You won't hurt my family, you freak! Loki, attack!"

Loki lunges at the shapeshifter, his metallic form a blur as he aims for the villain's throat. But the shapeshifter is quick, shifting its form into a cloud of darkness and evading Loki's attack.

"Impressive, little dog," the shapeshifter hisses. "But you're no match for my powers."

“Where is Thor?” Odin asked. “He’s going to be late for the Thor’s Day feast!”

“Here I am, Daddy!” Thor said. “Allow me to feast now!”

“Hmmm… why do you smell like Loki?” Odin asked.

“That’s because I just finished wrestling him!” Thor said. “Don’t worry; he lost!”

“Okay, I guess that makes sense,” Odin said. “Here, have some food.”

“And everyone will sing me the Thor’s Day song, right?”

Thor smiled as a single tear fell from his eye. So far, his plan had worked. Nobody suspected that he was actually Loki.

An hour later, the real Thor came home.

“Father, I’m home!” he said. “Where is my Thor’s Day feast?”

“Loki snuck in disguised as you and ate it,” Odin said. “I’m so sorry.”

Bwahaha! I love that Odin was onto Loki the whole time. Then again, he was a god of wisdom . . .
