Grand Twinkle

Hello there. Yes you. Who else is here but you and I? I suppose you wanted to know something about me then. Well first and foremost, my name is Grand Twinkle but depending on how you know me you may also refer to me as Sparky or Loki. Why the discrepancy in nomenclature? I would say the answer is simple but I'd be lying.   I wasn't always a demigod you know. I was at one point in time an entertainer, a bard as it were. Then my name was The Spark at Morning's Edge, or Sparky for short. I traveled with a troupe of other entertainers for a time. During that early point in my career, I met my daughter Helena. She wasn't my daughter yet though. Then she was just a young girl that liked the shows my troupe put on. She liked the show so much in fact that she gave me a gift: a simple yet beautiful bracelet. When her village was attacked by orcs and goblinfolk I was of course devastated; but I was also filled with righteous fury. I decided to use my talents to fight off evil rather than to just entertain (although some may say that I manage to do both simultaneously). I first thought to join the military, but I soon discovered that the government summoned the monsters that attacked the village in the first place. So I decided to join the rebellion against the government instead.   In the rebellion I met Caelon, Casseus, and Adran. The four of us fought together for quite some time. That was until Adran got into some shady business with Baphomet. When my team went to confront the corrupted governor of Southhost, Cliff Barre, we defeated him and found his family. (Sidenote: On the way there I learned that Helena was the girl that I thought was killed in the goblin raid.) This is where things get strange. You see, there are actually two different versions of events depending on which timeline you're following. Either way in both timelines, Casseus bonked me on the head so hard it killed me. In the second timeline I was given the spirit of Loki and turned into Grand Twinkle. This was very confusing to me at first as I had met Grand Twinkle before. But there was time travel involved I guess because once that whole fiasco was resolved, I was sent back to serve King Stormbreaker as his advisor. Unfortunately, I was unable to prevent his fall.   I spent a long time sulking and watching Helena from a distance making sure she was ok. When I was in Southhost I met my team as well as a younger version of myself. This is where the timeline doubles back on itself and many events in my life repeat but I was a spectator rather than a participant.   I aided the new team composed of Adran, Casseus, Rian, and Valros in their efforts to defeat the evil king. Along the way, I had an incident where I lost my temper and almost disintegrated Rian. But that's not important. Anyway after the rebellion, I adopted Helena and I married Cirilla whom I had met during the war.   After a long and grueling life filled with war and conflict and after the defeat of Ahriman, I retired and became one with the sky as I watch the world I helped to save once again descend into chaos. Hopefully my successor, Rian Ozmid, will do the right thing and help the world heal from its wounds.
