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.
