[ A few minutes pass with no response, and when it finally does come, it's for Odin to change the feed to voice. The question bears answering, but it would be a pain in the ass to type it all out ( or at least, that's one of the reasons. he'll stick with it for now. ) so he opts instead to simply speak to the boy directly. ]

Loki. If you are a Loki - as I know full well you are - then you will understand my meaning when I say I know what it is to face the threat of futility. I am attempting to stop Ragnarok.

[ He shouldn't have to explain why that can and often is seen as a fool's errand. ]

I, with my infinite knowledge of this world and the ones beneath it, am called the god of wisdom because there is a difference between the two. A wise man is not cowed by knowledge, but even still, it is the nature of men to feel fear. If there is one thing I know above all else, regardless of the information given you or the circumstances around you, hope is not something one can afford to lose. Even if the future becomes an inevitability, hope must still exist in some measure. It is only when you stop believing as much that you become entirely lost.

[Loki keeps it with text, he is crying now. Crying in front of the All-Father is most uncool.]

I know you are. It is what Asgard wishes to stop everytime it occurs. But to break the great cycle of death and rebirth is a most difficult thing. The first and most important thing is to keep Balder away from mistletoe.

[There is a bit of hope, actually. And it is so utterly small compared to the fear that is paralyzing him that he could forget it. A second message comes a bit later.]

I told him I won. I told him I changed. And that he will never be able to do so.

That might be the only hopeful thing.
Furthermore it seems I am forced to leave my brother, betray my best friend in the whole nine realms. In order to save billions I have to become what I fear the most.

I fear to become what I fear. Frankly, it paralyzes me. It saddens me that upon Leah's return I have to turn on her. It saddens me beyond everything. Because now I know for sure I am not able to keep my promise to her, you see?

[Followed by message number three.]

Why do I say I win, when it feels as if I am going to lose everything?
