In Asgard, Frigga was seen pacing around in the family chambers. Her mind was going back and forth on the current situation with the Frost Giants. Odin was busy negotiating terms with Laufey. She called a guard to go fetch her two sons so that she must converse with them immediately. Moments passed when the males in question had arrived in the room.
"Thor, Loki, can the two of you come over please?" Frigga said. "I want to talk to you about something. It is very urgent."
Frigga was anxious about the conversation she was going to have with her two sons. Odin was on his way towards the family room, after just finishing his tasks with Heimdall over some issues with the Frost Giants they had recently.
While she waited for Odin to arrive, Thor decided to speak up. "Mother, what is it that you want to talk with us about? Is it the issue of the Frost Giants? Are they bothering again?"
Hearing the words frost giants made Loki anxious, because he knows about the relationship between Asgard and Jotun. And also, since he found out about him being a Frost Giant and how he was "rescued" when he was just a baby, he gets nervous and uneasy whenever the topic of the Frost Giants came up in his presence.
Frigga sighs. "Yes Thor, it is about them again. They just can't let go of the idea of having to see Odin for lasting peace between Asgard and Jotun, but in my opinion, they are making things worse than it is. They expect something to simply happen out of thin air, but that is not happening with how the current things are going between the two realms."
"So, what are we going to do now mother? We have to stop them before things get out of proportions and then a war happens," Loki suddenly spoke up. He really wanted the Frost Giants to simply stop getting into petty war for peace, which he found something very ironic.
"Yes, mother. Loki has a point. We have to sort things out before this war even happens," Thor agrees with his brother. And just before Frigga has the chance to answer back with her own conclusions on the matter, Odin finally arrives with Heimdall trailing right behind him, Both were wearing frowns on their faces.
"What is the matter Odin?" Frigga was concerned that by the look on her husband's face may mean anything good. She can read Odin's expressions like a book.
"It is those frustrating Giants that won't leave us alone. They keep pestering about peace but ironically, they are willing to go to war for it."
Thor was beyond angry. How dare do the Frost Giants could start a war? He vowed to himself that when they cross paths, he will not hesitate to destroy them all.
"But wait, there's more. The king, Laufey, will only call the war off on one condition. But, of course I did tried to counter offer him for any other but the one he was offering to me. But, he was being stubborn and only wants the one he was offering."
Thor and Frigga didn't like the sound if that comment. Thor thinks that it might involve something personal.
"Is it bad, father?"
Odin nods in response. "It is, son. In that conversation, only bad news came out of it. And Loki is involved in it."
Loki's head turned towards Odin's direction. He was both shocked and surprised to hear.
"Me? How am I involved in this? Tell me," Loki questioned Odin. He was afraid of the answer, yet, anxious to know of the answer. There was no way he could be involved with the monsters of Jotun, even if he was one himself. He loathes himself in self pity, because since when he learned about his true heritage, he began to hate himself. He disliked the fact that he was related to the monsters he grew up hearing about they enjoyed killing for fun, and among other atrocities they do.
"Well, Loki, the king Laufey is indeed your biological father. While negotiating our terms, he let it slipped that he never abandoned you in the temple I have found you in during that fateful war. He put you there to protect you but when I had found you, I assumed that you were there because of your small size. He requested me that you should return to your birth land."
Loki's head shook violently. "No, I will never go there for as long as I live. Mother, please say something."
Thor was silent. Then he spoke up. "Father, you are not going to let that happen right?"
Odin stayed quiet, in fear of what both Thor and Loki might say in return.
"Thor, please. It might be for the best," Odin responds. His eyes focusing on the floor beneath him. Frigga was looking at him in surprised and in anger.
"Odin, please tell me you're not thinking of doing that."
Odin nods. "I am and I am sorry."
Loki, in anger, leaves the room without saying a word to the rest of his family. And Thor trails right behind him, trying to contain his own anger down.
"I think I have a lot of explaining to do, Frigga."
