Ones, long ago. A woman had stood upon her own pile of corpses as she spread out her hands and yelled on the top of her lungs. "KNEEL!"

Odin… could not comprehend what he was seeing. He saw it, but he couldn't quite understand it.

A young man, wearing green armour. Wielding a scepter shining in a blue magic light and he yelled. "KNEEL!"

There was silence, Odin gasped as he saw the young man who smirked, walking between the kneeling Midgardians. "Is this not simpler?" Loki asked. "Is this not your natural state? It is the unspoken truth of humanity. That you crave subjication."

Odin squinted his eyes, turned his head away. But Lokis word continued, cruel and cold.

"You were made…. To be ruled."

Heimdal removed his hand and Odin looked up at Heimdal, a tear falling down his face.

"I'm sorry my king." Heimdal spoke.

Odin swallowed. "The true king will rise again… It was him." he breathed. "It wasn't her like I thought it was. It was him."

Heimdal nodded. "Aye. What do we do?" he asked.

"Call upon Thor. Get him here now." Odin asked. "This must be stopped."

Heimdal nodded. "Yes my king."

Thor had no idea what was going on. Heimdal had called him with such urgency. Had something happened to Bylestir?

Thor decided it was time he stopped looking to Bylestir and allow the new king to make his own way. It was time Thor got his eyes back on his own realm and problems, he had intended spending the next week re-connecting with his friends and make a plan on what to do. Didn't seem like that was going to happen though.

Thor flew across the broken bridge and landed at the observatory stunned to see not just one but two men there. "Father?" he asked Odin.

Odin looked grimly at Thor and Thors heart sank.

Had Odin found out? That Thor had stolen the casket of winters and given it back to Jotunnheim? Thor bit his lip. He was in so much trouble right now.

"You must go to Midgard. Now." Odin stated.

"Huh?" Thor looked up in surprise. "Midgard?" he asked. "But the bridge is broken." he gestured.

"I will gather every last bit of my strength, it should be just enough." Odin stated. "It will be a one way trip though. To come back here you must retrieve the object called the Tesserect, it can transport you back."

"Okay." Thor blinked just as confused. "But why. Why am I going to Midgard?" he asked.

Odin closed his eyes, his hands tightened around Gungnir as he hissed.

"Father?" Thor asked.

"The Tesserect, and object of incredible magic has been stolen. You will retrieve it." Odin informed.

"Okay." Thor said again, still not getting the urgency.

"The man who stole it he… He is attempting to conquer Midgard. He desires to rule it as king!" Odin informed.

Thor gasped in shock.

"For the last few months." Odin swallowed. "Messages has been left across the galaxy. Colonies where the people we massacred. And messages that the true king of the nine realms will claim his throne. He finally made his move! He is trying to take Midgard first. And with the Tesserect." Odin looked up. "This object Thor, it is one of the most powerful objects in the universe! It was hidden away because it was to powerful for anyone to wield! He cannot get away with having it!"

Thor nodded firmly. "I see." he stated. "I will stop this man."

"You must." Odin stated. "You must stop Loki!"

Thor halted, he looked confused at Odin. He had heard words, but they didn't really compute inside of his head. "What?" he asked confused. "Stop…" then Thors eyes widened. "LOKI?!" he asked in a shout. Then he shook his head. "Father, forgive me. I thought you just said."

"Loki." Odin repeated and Thors eyes widened. "He lives Thor." Odin informed.

Thor gasped, it felt like a great punch to his stomach. "Loki is… He's…" he gasped. "He's alive?" he asked as his entire body was shaking. He didn't even dare to believe.

Odin nodded. "Aye."

And Thor turned to Heimdal.

"Indeed." Heimdal informed. "Prince Loki lives."

Thor gasped, his eyes turning misty. "This… This is wonderful. A miracle. I have to get him home. At ones!"

"THOR!" Odin shouted and Thor turned to him. "Didn't you hear what I said? He has left carnage in his wake. Killed thousands, left messages that desires death upon both you and I. While stating the true king will claim his throne. Asgards throne! And now he is attempting to conquer Midgard! He will do what-ever it takes. He'll kill anyone in his way. He is not the Loki you ones knew!"

"No." Thor shook his head. "There must be some sort of mistake. I'm sure that if I just talk to him.."

"My prince." Heimdal demanded Thors attention. "I've seen him." the dark skinned all seer said. "Your father speaks truth. His crimes are many, and he has blood on his hands. But he doesn't seem ashamed of it. In fact he seems proud."

"So did I when I first walked to Jotunnheim to kill, and I was proud. I was a fool!" Thor stated. "Loki was the one trying to talk me out of it. I'm sure that if we just talk!"

"Thor." Odin said and Thor turned to him. "When madness is concerned, there is no return. A year ago. Loki went mad, and he has only fallen further into madness since. You cannot just talk to him. You must stop him. By any means."

Thor halted, stunned. Then he hissed. "I'll get him." he stated. "And then I'll try to at least talk with him first!" he stated. "Only if there is no other way will I fight him! This is my brother!"

Odin though, remained harsh. "Thor... Listen to me." he asked. "For months, Loki has walked from planet to planet. And he killed." he stated. "He wrote the messages, that the true king will soon reclaim his throne. He means to take Asgards throne, and all the rest of the nine realms. He has already killed Midgardians. And stolen this object he very well knows is forbidden to wield due to its power."

Thor stood still, he swallowed, his mouth feeling dry.

"My prince." Heimdal spoke. "Loki is currently on a small Midgardian Airplane, I will send you as close as I can."

Thor nodded. "I understand."

"Remember, you need the tesserect to come back here." Odin lectured. "Loki stole it, and then he hid it. First you apprehend Loki, then you make him tell you where he hid the Tesserect. Then you take both him and the Tesserect back to Asgard. That's all you need to do."

"I understand Father." Thor assured, then he huffed. "I shall find out what is truly going on. Or so norns help me!" he hissed as his hand tightened around Mjolnir.

Odin took in a deep breath as he reached out his hand and placed it on Thors shoulder. "May the norns protect you my son." he breathed as he closed his eyes and started to mumble ancient words.

Slowly the energy gathered around Thor and Odin. Odin hissed, pulling on every last little bit of strength he had and finally. Thor vanished from the spot in a flash of light, that flash shooting across space like a shooting star. Towards Earth. And Odin fell down on the ground.

"MY KING!" Heimdal shouted running to Odins aid as Odin laid on his side, gasping for breath.

"Send…" Odin gasped. "Send for Frigga." he asked. "No other. Do not call upon Eir, only Frigga."

Heimdal hissed as he squinted his eyes then looked up. "Very well then." he said. "Just… rest my king." he asked.

And Odin groaned as his eyes rolled back into his skull and he laid there, with not the tiniest bit of energy left in his old broken body.
