God of Lies and Fabrications

The sword swung as it went towards the neck of Loki, but it stopped unexpectedly just short of touching his neck. Orion was taken aback by this sudden development as he looked confused towards Vali. 

'What was he doing? Why was he not finishing the job? Is something wrong….'

Various thoughts sprung into his mind as he stood rooted to the spot. He couldn't wrap his head around why he stopped just short of slicing his head off. 

"Come on! Let's stop now"

Sighing, Loki said as he turned around immediately and kicked Orion in the chest, throwing him in the distance to the ground. He was thunderstruck by his words that he was unable to respond at all and took his kick straight to his chest, worsening his injury more. 

Orion was shocked. What did he meant by those words? 

He looked wide-eyed, as Vali shook his head and lowered down his sword. Loki smiled seeing the shocked expression as he plucked out the dagger from his waist.
