Questions. So many of them raced through my mind. Why did Thor pretend to be so innocent? Why did he need to speak to Odin? Would he come back to annoy me even more? Then it struck me: Why was I still there? I no longer had a family here. I had no reason for being there. Why didn't I just leave?
I stood. Was there anything here worth bringing? Clothes, a few books, perhaps. I put a few outfits and books, more spellbooks than novels, into a bag. I opened and stepped out the door. Most people would sit in the room crying, looking over photos and journals. Sentiment. I simply walked out with no thought to it other than, "Goodbye, my evil past."
I walked down the long hallway which branched out into the main hallway. Just a hallway from... freedom? No. Not freedom. I would be free from the house of Odin, but my pain was far from over, and I was not free from it.
On my way, I passed the double doors to the throne room. I would have payed no mind, other than the fact that the snippet of conversation than I heard sparked an interest in me.
"I went to visit Loki just a while ago. He said something kind of interesting." There was silence from the Allfather, so Thor continued. "He seems to think that we've disowned him. Now, where would he get such an idea?" I peeked in through a crack in the door, my curiosity getting the better of me. "Not mother. She wouldn't spread such a rumor. Not Heimdall. He doesn't get caught up in matters such as that. Not Lady Sif, nor the Warriors Three. They never liked him, but they wouldn't tell him something like that. And most certainly not me. So who does that leave, Allfather?" He glared at Odin. "What did you do?"
The Allfather sighed. "After he was released I brought him in. I know you and your mother would never consent to disowning him, so I had Rhea, my adviser, make duplicates of you and Frigga. I doubt the monster meant a word he said about regretting his actions-" Thor had heard enough.
"DON'T YOU DARE CALL LOKI A MONSTER!" he shouted. "He is my brother, whether you accept him or not! If anyone is the monster here, it's you! You did not see him as I saw him this morning! He regrets his actions, truly and honestly!" His face was red with anger. "If you disown him, then you disown me as well, because no matter what he has done in the past, or what he may do in the future, Loki is my brother!"
That was the moment I lost my balance and slipped, pushing the door opened. My only thought as I felt two pairs of eyes pierce into me was, "Gods of Valhalla, help me now."
