Description Art of Sleipnir, born to Loki after he changed into a mare to lure the stallion Svadilfari away, for an Avengers fanfic I'm planning on writing.

The backstory for my take on Sleipnir:
He hated being trapped in this form.

It had been so long since he'd been anything else that he was beginning to forget what it had ever been like to be...whatever he had been before.

Approaching footsteps had him looking up and he stared in surprise at a man who should not have been in the stables. A man he had not seen in ages. A man who was kin. A man who was smiling at him. "Hello, Sleipnir." A gently hand ran over his flank and he whinnied in greeting. He stomped two hooves as the man reached up to gently trace the bridle he always wore. He felt magic surge, both from the man and from the bridle, and then the accursed leather was pulled away, its magic taken with it.

He blinked at the man, who still smiled, the gentle hand on his flank rubbed in soothing circles. "Time to be free, brother."

(I chose Kyle Gallner to resprent Sleipnir's human form purely at random.)

Also, can you list Loki's children from oldest to youngest??

(I'm not really certain, but given the timelines for most of the Norse mythology this is what I've determined as far as the birth order of Loki's children)

Loki and Svadilfari's child:
Sleipnir

Loki and Angrboda's children:
Fenrir, eldest
Jormungand, second
Hel, youngest

Loki and Sigyn's children:
This is debateable, especially depending on the myth you're reading, some list Narfi and Vali as twins, others say Narfi was the eldest and some say Vali was older. Personally I like the idea of them being twins with Vali being eldest.

i like to think that vali and narvi are the second oldestΒ children since their mother is loki's first wife.

to be honest, I haven't really decided yet. I'm torn between Fenrir and Narfi, since in my story they're the two strongest magic-users of Loki's sons, though I am leaning towards Narfi.
