The Reverand Loki

The reverend looked upon his charge with a smile

It was a false smile, but one needed

She stood before him screaming for acceptance

But his faith did not allow

One of her kind to be placed in the herd

Yet he would not allow

Such scrutiny among his flock

 

Reverend Loki looked upon his charge

Filling his need for human release to be fed

Quickly he suppressed it

He was no longer that God

One of lust and lies

Tricks

Yes, tricks were another matter

The God of Tricks was not done

 

He took his case to his superiors

And with a few tricks he kept this girl safe

She was his flock now

He hugged her as tears fell down her face

He handed her a new set of clothes and put her to work

The Trickster was still causing chaos

For humans rather than gods
