Two guards escorted Loki to the throne room of Odin's palace. Loki frowned once they reached the steps to the thrones where Odin clearly stood atop of the steps. As he looked across he saw his mother, he heard her speak softly. "Loki..." Frigga spoke to her youngest son disappointed but also sad that she couldn't help him face the dark truth that was kept from him all those years ago. Loki looked at her "hello, Mother." Frigga tried to force a smile but it wouldn't come, no matter how hard she tried she was simply too ashamed of her son.
Loki was clearly not amused but the situation of him in chains and his adoptive parents standing above him somehow pleased him, after all he had expected this as soon as he snapped at his father after learning the truth and then later taking his anger out on Asgard and Thor. The god of mischief spoke, hardly any regret in his voice "have I made you proud?" Was all that came out. Frigga sighed "please, don't make this worse." Loki looked up at her, his expressions quickly changing from pleased to annoyed "define worse" he said, he could have sworn he'd as good as glared at Frigga as he said that even though he didn't.
Odin arose from the steps, his voice echoing growing loud and impatient "enough!" He said looking angrily at Loki. Loki looked at him, a slight tint of an angry expression on his face but not that showable. Odin calmed down a little and looked at the guards who had brought Loki in to him "I will speak to the prisoner alone" he spoke. The guards left them alone. It wasn't long before it was only Loki, Odin and Frigga in the room. Loki laughed a little with amusement "I really don't see what all the fuss is about" he said clearly not caring. Odin looked at his son in disappointment clearly both annoyed at him and not happy with the god of mischief. "Do you not truly feel the gravity of your crimes?" Odin questioned even though he'd have expected no less from Loki.
"Wherever you go, there is war, ruin and death." Loki just rolled his eyes at this clearly not offended. "I went down to Midgard to rule the
people of Earth as a benevolent god. Just like you" Loki spoke calmly. Odin still stood atop of the steps looking down at his son "we are not gods we are born, we live, we die just as humans do give or take 5,000 years" he said "and all this because Loki desires a throne." Loki clenched his fists clearly annoyed but still he kept his cool down "It is my birthright" he spoke feeling as though he deserved the throne more than Thor.
Odin stepped forward, his voice filled with anger. "Your birthright was to die as a child, cast out onto a frozen rock if I had not taken you in you would not be here now to hate me." Loki felt that, the pain ached in his heart, the truth still looming over him. He held back tears not wanting them to show, would anyone love him? Would anyone even give him a chance? Loki spoke once more after a moment of silence "if I am for the axe, then for mercy's sake, just swing it" he said, his voice cracking slightly. Loki took a deep breath before continuing to speak "it's not that I don't love our little talks, it's just... I don't love them." Odin stayed silenced as he listened to his sons words it was awhile before he spoke again. "Frigga is the only reason you're still alive, and you will never see her again" he said with disappointment in his voice and an unwanting expression of not wanting the god of mischief there on his face.
Odin looked at Frigga who nodded in agreement of what he was going to say next. Odin cleated his throat and spoke with command "you will spend the rest of your days in the dungeons" he said. Loki frowned letting lose a small chuckle of both insaneness and of sadness "and what of Thor?" He asked trying so hard not to snap. Loki chuckled a little insanely "you'll make that witless oaf king while I rot in chains." Odin frowned speaking a bit louder as he looked at his chained son "Thor must strive to undo
the damage you have done he will bring order to the Nine Realms and then, yes... he will be king."
Loki couldn't believe what he was hearing but before he could react he was chained up some more by the guards and ordered to be taken to the Asgard prison by Odim. Frigga sighed as she watched her son get taken away to the dungeons she was very disappointed but at the same time very sad. Odin too was upset but not emotionally, he was angrily and annoyingly upset. He had never had to do this in a long time and to do it now to his own son frustrated him. Odin felt betrayed, humiliated but he couldn't think in his mind, why was he to dwell on the past now, after all he had to concentrate on the future and that future was Thor's future.
Loki was lead to the Asgard prison in chains and unable to move as he walked down the halls a million things were going through his mind he was depressed, he felt abandoned and felt like no one
Loved him anymore. Loki sighed a little as he was lead to his cell and the guards threw him into it. The head guard put up the force field so that he couldn't escape and faced Loki. "Know this son, that you are only here because of your own selfish gain" he said "so enjoy the cell and the hell of this place. Loki rolled his eyes why was he to care? After all he had nothing left to lose now anyway. Loki sat on the bed in his cell, the tears being burned up inside all this time finally slipping from his eyes, Loki felt unwanted, unloved and unneeded.
Odin looked at Frigga "you know you were too hard on him Odin." Odin turned away as if she hadn't even spoken "you know he deserved it for his crimes Frigga." Frigga came forward "but Odin he's just a boy not even a mere sane person you have to understand why he did this" she said. Odin shook his head "a King always has to make a lot of hard decisions... this being one of them." Frigga sighed before just nodding. Odin raised his voice "Thor!" He called. Thor heard his father and came to his chambers "yes? You wanted to see me father?" Odin nodded "yes I have a new duty for you."
Thor was confused "a new duty? But father am I not doing a good job at keeping peace in Asgard?" He asked. Odin frowned "no Thor you have done a wonderful job at keeping the peace but there is something I must ask of you" he said. Thor was confused what could his father possibly want? Thor looked around it was just the three of them in the chambers. "Yes what is it father?" Thor asked. Odin frowned "well Loki has been taken to the Asgard prison as punishment for his crimes." Thor sighed "oh.. I see" he said. Odin looked at his son "it's for his own good Thor."
Thor looked down "I know father" he said. Odin went on however "however as you know Loki better than anyone and you're the best protector of Asgard then I am I trusting you with the responsibility to Guard and protect him and to make sure that he doesn't escape, you'll be his personal guard." Thor was taken back and sighed "but father he hates me Loki will not listen to me" he said. Frigga came forward "please Thor, do it for your brother he will need your company as much as guarding him." Thor sighed again giving in "alright" he said "I'll do it but not because I want to" Thor crossed his arms but agreed to it as he was a loyal soldier and protector of Asgard. Odin came down to his son "very well, off you go then." And with that Thor left to the Asgard prison.
