Chapter One
"Norse Odin, what have you done?" Frigga asked.
Her blight blue eyes widening.
She had only just walked into their shared chambers to find her husband kneeling down, right in the middle of the floor. The action scared and intrigued her. Not so much the position he was in but for the reason behind such actions. She knew deep down that he had done something horribly wrong. Worry and confusion started to creep in.
For a king never kneels, not to anyone, other than his wife and vice versa. But when such a very rare ack occurs, it's a signal forgiveness.
Odin looked up at his wife from his current kneeling position.
"Forgive me my queen."
Now even more worried and confused. Frigga waited impatiently for his reasoning. Looking down at him with a frown, she felt her heart constrict. She could recall similar words only being said once before. When Odin fought the frost giants, he had brought Loki to Asgard. She feared his next words. As much as she loves Loki, perhaps more so than Thor, who was indeed of her blood. Whatever has happened, could either be worst than slaughtering almost an entire race, or not quite as horrific. But either way, Frigga was not prepared for what came out of her husband's mouth.
She watched as Odin signed, opened and closed his mouth several times. Clearly lost for words. When he finally looked up again, Frigga gasped. He had tears in his eyes and they soon slowly slipped down his cheeks. She knew then it was worst, much worst.
"A child, of midgard has been defiled in the worst way...and...I let it happen." Odin stated.
Friggas first reaction was dumbfounded. Her brain tried to comprehend what he just said. But no, it couldn't have been what she heard. Her husband wouldn't have let something like this happen. Her husband, Her king, Her lover, could be cold hearted at times, but never evil. He could even be kindhearted and sympathetic. Most did not agree, in fact most had no love lost towards there king. Respected him yes, but that was to be expected of them.
The people of Asgard feared him. Heard stories of his past, best left unheard. But this...this was not her husband. The only thing she could respond with was one word, and she growled it out at him.
"Why?"
Odin's head fell to his chest in shame. He knew his wife was soft hearted, especially with children. As has been the case before with Loki. She could be very understanding and forgiving. Not this time.
No...not this time.
