Chapter 8- Banishment
"Why did you bring us back?" Thor demanded of the Alfather.
"Do you realize what you've done? What you've started?" Odin demanded right back as Loki and I were silent
"I was protecting my home." Thor said right back and I wanted to sigh. He wasn't protecting it, he was causing unnecessary pain. I gave Loki a look and he also noticed it too.
So, not so long ago when we both definitely knew Thor was going to be king we made a plan. That when the time came we would help our brother to become king. Even if it means almost killing him really.
We had a plan, we just don't know how well it's going to be or if it would ever happen. But, by the way this conversation is going, our plan might happen and I don't know how I feel about it.
"You cannot even protect your friends." Odin said right back, "how can you hope to protect a kingdom? Get him to the healing room now."
"There won't be a kingdom to protect if you're afraid to act." Thor said right back. I just mentally shook my head, Thor doesn't get it at all.
"The Jotuns must learn to fear me, just as they once feared you." Thor said and Loki and I took a somewhat deep breath because we both knew what might be coming if it continues this way.
"That's pride and vanity talking, not leadership." Odin shot back, "You've forgotten everything I taught you about a warrior's patience. Percy for example has that patience that you do not have."
I was taken aback at how I was mention but thankfully, they didn't continue that way.
"While you wait and be patient, the Nine Realms laugh at us." I was just thinking is that so bad? It means they would underestimate us when we are in war, why is that so bad?
"The old ways are done. You'd stand giving speeches while Asgard falls." Thor finished
"You are a vain, greedy, cruel boy!" Odin shouted at Thor
"And you are a old man and a fool!" Thor shouted back and Loki and I pretty much knew what was coming and very fiber in my being told me to intervene but I knew Thor needed this if Asgard was to remain built and not in rumble.
There was a pause as Odin looked at Thor, then he started to look down and in a normal to quiet voice said, "Yes. I was a fool, to think you were ready."
That's when I knew I had to, "Father." instead of me just saying it, Loki and I both did, we stepped forward but Odin just shouted and pointed at me to stop.
Odin looked back up at Thor, "Thor Odinson, you have betrayed the express command of your king.Through your arrogance and stupidity, you've opened these peaceful realms and innocent lives to the horror and desolation of war!" With that the father picked up his staff and plunged it into the Bifrost.
Odin started to step down from the podium and toward Thor, Loki and I can't do anything to stop the Alfather, "You are unworthy of these realms!" As he said that he ripped off some armor from Thor.
"You're unworthy of your title!" Odin said as he ripped off Thor's cap as Thor looked shocked.
"You're unworthy," The Alfather shouted, "of the loved ones you have betrayed." Odin looked at Thor and I could tell he was disappointed he had to do this.
He moved back and from there he said, "I now take from you your power!" Mjölnir flew from Thor to Odin, "In the name of my father, "Thor's armor started to fall off his arms, "and his father before, I, Odin Allfather, cast you out!"
With that Odin's power pushed Thor into the Bifrost. Loki and I both looked and seemed panicked. Ok, so we might not have thought that the Allfather would actually banish Thor but do something less significant.
But Odin was whispering into the hammer, "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor." With those words Odin through Mjölnir through the Bifrost.
