My brother? He's gone. His actions they rent

Him from power and the All-father sent

Him to Midgard to correct his rough ways.

Sif. Warriors Three. You see he must pay.

Peace with the Jotuns is now just a dream.

I feel his loss greatly, but the Prince must

Redeem. To attack the Frost Giants was

Foolish and rash, his action at once both

Conceited and brash. He cannot be what

We need from a king, so I shall step up,

To the throne I will bring, peace and the hope

Of his future return, but only as

Soon as his lesson is learned. For the good

Of Asgard you must see my point. He'd send

Us to war were he here to appoint. Thor

Is my brother and must one day be king,

But I am now ruler, you owe me one thing.

Loyalty. Listen and hear me, I don't

Want the throne, but still I rule Asgard so

Very alone. Frigg will not leave Odin,

The Odinsleep lasts, and with Thor lost to

Midgard, I fear what may come to pass. You

Say I feel not so contrite as I seem?

Leave me to think upon heavier things.

The duty I owe to the All-father

Stands, he saved me, a Jotun Prince, from King

Laufey's terrible plans. He taught me and

Raised me as one of his sons. A crown prince

Of Asgard, yet everyone shuns the dark

One, Thor's shadow; my magic defies

The warrior's code by which each Aesir

Dies. All-father why? If you called me your

Son, was Thor always favored despite what

He'd done? Interrupting his crowning, I

Made the right choice, his anger I knew would

Swiftly give voice to his faults and his flaws,

Why he shouldn't be king, the reason you

Mustn't continue to cling, to this false

Image of Thor as supreme. His equal

Was all I aspired to be, the throne

Was not wanted, I just hoped you would see

I'm no less worthy than you hope him to

Be. So once you awaken, oh father

Of lies, you shall see your mistake, your Frost

Giant prize. Your relic from Jotunheim's

Wintery climes has saved you and Asgard

From Laufey's offenses and crimes. While Thor

Waits on Midgard for his banishments end,

My value at last you must comprehend.

I protected us all from his idiot

Rule, and not one person will know how I've

Played you for fools. I let the Frost Giants in

To ruin Thor's day, and made deals with

Laufey to see that you were slain. I did

All of this to prove worthy of your name.

This all is your fault, oh Father-of-mine.

Had you told me the truth. Had you had no

Designs. Had you loved me like Thor, then all

Might have been fine.
