Chapter 1

Thor's eyes was filled with disappointment as he gazed at Loki. That stupid oaf probably just realized what Loki really was, a monster. No matter how much he tried to do things right, it always turned out to be wrong, actions by a monster. Loki looked down on his feets and felt the powerless frustration of hopelessness. But that didn't mean he had given up.

He was still fighting, some how...?

The only thing left inside him was these two feelings, Rage and sorrow. Along with the rage, there was vengefulness, hate and malignity. Along with the sorrow there was regret, guilt, sadness and angst. The rage and the sorrow were fighting each other and for now the rage had the upper hand.

Loki has been defeated by the Avengers, but he didn't feel defeated. Defeated is when you no longer has hope, when you're on the edge of death. he thought when Thor along with Loki, by the power of the tesseract returned to Asgard.

I'm not defeated i'm not defeated i'm NOT defeated I. am. not. defeated! He kept thinking as the guards took him to the throne. As they walked through the golden halls of the palace Loki could see people point and laugh as they saw Loki the betrayer, the runt, the monster. Loki looked down again, embarrassed and shy as always in front of the Asgardian people. He cursed himself for acting so weak.

Loki was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't realize they had stopped walking.

Then he finally managed to look from the floor. Loki's gaze fell upon his mother who stood next to the throne where Odin sat. She is NOT my mother… he corrected himself, but it hurt a bit to realize Frigga actually never was his mother.

"Loki..." She said as she saw him look at her

"Hello, mother. Have I made you proud?" Loki responded. He smiled ironically

"Please, don't make this worse." Frigga sighed sadly. Loki flinched slightly as he saw the sorrow in her eyes, in that moment he could tell she knew something. something bad, something bad that was going to happen or already happened.

"Define worse." Loki said bitterly. He could hardly see how this situation could be worse right now. He would probably be executed or be put in jail for lifetime.

"Enough! I will speak to the prisoner alone." Odin barked as he heard the mother and son arguing. everything fell silent as Frigga turned to leave In silence. The queen left the throne room.

This is it… this is now he'll sentence me to death or a lifetime in prison, all this because of some tiny crimes which shouldn't even be seen as crimes, they should be seen as favors! Loki thought as the guard pushed him closer to the Allfather. Loki looked his father in the eye for a while and then burst out laughing.

"I really don't see what all the fuss is about!" Loki chuckled.

"Do you not truly feel the gravity of your crimes? Wherever you go there is war, ruin and death." Odin said coldly as he gazed upon his son.

Loki shouldn't be affected, but now he couldn't stop doubting on himself. what if he was right, what if war, ruin and death is the only thing i can provide? But i was trying to help those mere mortals, to rule them and give them a leader.. isn't that what they want, isn't that a good thing? Or am i the bad guy now?

"I wanted to rule the people of Earth as a benevolent God, just like you!" Loki tried. He tried really hard not to show the panic which has began to grow in him.

"We are not Gods. We are born, we live, we die, just as humans do." Odin responded. speaking of death, soon all of this is going to be over anyway.

"Give or take five thousand years." Loki said as he realized he might get in prison too. That would be much worse though… Odin on the other hand, was losing patience. "All this because Loki desires a throne." The Allfather sighed. Loki was now losing patience as well. "It's my birthright!" Loki barked in self defense.

"Your birthright was to die…as a child!" Odin's voice boomed and Loki flinched, dumbfounded. "…Cast out onto a frozen rock. If I had not taken you in you would not be here now to hate me." Odin continued coldly.

Loki shouldn't be affected now either, but the thought of his once called "father" not even trying to care for his adopted son.. but why should he? Odin never loved him, not when he used to read stories for him and Thor when the were young, not when Odin learned him how to use a sword, even if it was pointless, not even when he saved Odin's life by killing his real father, the frostgiant who was about to slay Odin in the Odinsleep. Odin never loved Loki, He only kept Loki as a tool which was not even going to be used.

Loki took a deep breath and tried to focus.

"If I had fully asked for true mercy, I'd say just swing it. It's not that I don't love our little talks, it's just…I don't love them." He said in an attempt to show he wasn't afraid, which of course he was, who wouldn't? "Frigga is the only reason you are still alive and you will never see her again. You will spend the rest of your days in the dungeon." Odin said.

Loki took a few steps back, not surprised, but upset and a little dumbfounded again. Loki put himself together. "And what of Thor? You'll make that witless oaf king while I rot in chains?" Oh how he wished he could claw Thor's bright blue eyes out of his sweet little skull. Thor.. Loki wanted to vomit at the thought of that spoiled brat he once used to call brother.

"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." Odin said calmly. The alfather watched as the guards took his adoptive son away to his cell deep down in Asgards safest prison. Never has a prisoner escaped those thick walls.

As soon as Loki and the guards left, Odin broke his shallow mask and collapsed on his throne. Frigga rushed in and reached her husband as he sighed heavily.

"d-did you tell him?" Frigga asked anxiously as she grabbed Odin's hand and squeezed it gently. Odin slowly rose his heavy head and looked his wife in the eyes. Odin's eyes was filled with bitterness as he shook his head tiredly. Frigga embraced Odin and started to sob slightly.

"Ohhh what should we do? how should we tell him? and how will he take it?" She said through her sobs and Odin caressed her cheek gently.

"i'm sorry my love but i'm only aware of what has to be done" odin said...
