The Rise Of A Porter

Vale, the ruler of the winds and one of the five biological sons of the All-father.He had blonde hair just like Thor's. But his physique was more on the leaner side and not as buffed as any of his brothers. His azure eyes always complemented his figure and so did the white clothing he always wore. 

While all of the brothers inherited world-destroying powers from their father, Vale was the only one who inherited something more... a calm mind like that of Odin himself. One could say that he was the complete opposite of Thor, it was also the reason why Thor loved Vale the most who was his youngest brother.

On the other hand, Thor, Baldr, Vioarr and Hoor, all lived for war. They would start fighting over the smallest matters just for the sake of it. It was for this same reason Odin was even thinking about giving the Throne to Loki, who was also his son but not by birth. Odin had called Loki his son because of his capabilities. 

Loki was also the only one ever treated like a son by both Odin and Frigg apart from their biological children. But Vale knew a disaster would unfold if the throne was handed over to Loki. Thus, he made sure his achievements overshadowed Loki's. 

His efforts paid off and Vale was supposed to be the crown prince of Asgard but vacated the position when he saw how upset it made Thor as he was Odin's eldest son. Vale had no doubts Loki had filled Thor's ears with his corrupt words because Thor had been the happiest when he learnt his little brother was going to be the next King of Asgard. 

Loki must have thought Vale was really going after the throne, and thus Thor challenging him would lead them to a battle. Loki could have then used this moment to make Odin have a look at his 'incompetent' sons. 

However, his plan failed as Vale readily gave up the throne to Thor. Vale had outsmarted Loki once again. He never really cared about the throne in the first place. He was fine with anyone being made the crown prince as long it wasn't Loki or any of his associates. 

Vale made this sacrifice not to please his brother only. He knew Thor's capabilities as a warrior, and hence with him being crowned as the prince, no one in their right mind would even think about attacking Asgard, at least from the outside. 

Odin saw this as an act of unrivalled brotherhood and hence gave Vale another position with equivalent powers to that of a King. He was granted a second throne placed next to his own. While Thor was going to be the 'King of Valor', Vale was going to be the 'King of Reason'.

This made Loki furious to no limit. He felt cheated out of something that should have been his. Thus he sided with Zeus and made a plan to overthrow Asgard and forcibly assume the role of the king. Which led to the death of countless gods on both sides, but eventually Loki won and was the king of Asgard for a while. 

He immediately ordered Vale's execution. However, Vale pulled a disappearing act and rushed to Shiva for his help as Odin had told him in case anything happened to him, Shiva would be the only one who could get them out of their misery. 

True to his words, Shiva who was in deep meditation when the attack on Asgard happened, quite literally destroyed Mount Olympus and Asgard just like that. Thus restoring order in the universe once again. 

Had it not been for Vale, Loki and Zeus would have had enough time to prepare for contingencies against Shiva. Thus Vale gave Loki another reason to despise him. Just like he did now. 

"Vale... always putting your nose in other's business." Loki mumbled before spitting out a mouthful of blood, "Thanks for reminding me why I hated you so much."

"That were some heavy words coming out of your mouth, Loki, the backstabber." Vale still had a smile on his face, "You can fool anyone you want, but not me. I have seen through you and your pettiness ever since I looked into your eyes for the first time."

"Oh, how romantic. But sorry brother, no homo and no incest."

"Says the one who's sister is his daughter. How's Hel doing these days? I heard she ran off with Surtr?"

Loki could agitate anyone. He could even play mind games with Heimdall... but when it came to Vale, he couldn't do a thing. None of his tricks worked against him, that was the reason why h wanted to awaken Thor before doing anything else.

But his plans failed miserably. Vale could see through him and his tricks with ease. After all, his mind was faster than the cerulean winds that guided warrior Vikings to the afterlife. 

"You should not have ever stepped foot in this place again..." Suddenly the smile on Vale's face disappeared, "You are the one who pushed Arnold to become the enemy of the gods and use that as an excuse to get back here. Other's might have forgotten about what you put us through, but not me."

Vale continued, "Blame the rogue god as much as you like, Loki. But doing something as cheap as that would never take your sins away and today, I'll be the one to end you here."

As soon as he was done giving Loki a piece of his mind, winds started revolving around Vale like a tornado and two giant blades of wind shot at Loki. 

"Argh!" 

Loki managed to didge one of the blades but the second one manage to graze his cheek. The pain wouldn't have been enough to make a God sequel... had Vale not intended to make it so. His clothes had finely powdered celestial gold within its threads.

Thus the winds that were generated due to his clothes carried a tinge of god killing material within itself. In other words, when the wind blade grazed Loki's skin, the celestial gold particles made the unbearable.

"Don't think for a moment I was sitting idly like the rest of them in your absence, brother.." Vale said with an emotionless face, "I had been training to kill you by my hands."
