I thought it was longer... Oh well, enjoy!


Odin and Loki were now in the main hall, where fellow Asgardians came to speak with Odin. Loki was standing in front of Odin as he sat in his chair.

"Loki, please sit next to me. You look as if you're about to be punished for a crime."

Loki nervously made his way to where his mother usually sat, the chair was huge compared to him and he felt extremely small.

"Now that you know of your true lineage, I think we need to discuss your future. More importantly your role here as a ruler."

Loki wasn't sure what Odin was talking about, "I thought Thor was to be the ruler after you, there cannot be two of us after all."

"Loki, did you think I was just going to leave you to dry up and die in the dust of your brother? I have been working on a plan for you. But there's one problem;"

Loki nodded and waited for his father to speak; "I will not lie to the people of Asgard about your race, but I will not have them shun you for it either. However they do deserve to know of your past if you are to rule, but make no mistake; any comment or threat made to you or heard of will be punished accordingly."

All Loki could do is nod, the fact Odin was talking to him about this was more than shocking. Loki realized that he had possibly been wrong about Odin, when it came to some things.

"So, you can imagine that Thor is our next topic." Odin asked.

Loki nodded.

"Your mother brought it to my attention that you have always felt you're beneath him." Loki knew he meant it as a question, so he nodded.

"I'm sorry I hadn't noticed my actions before, but now that it has been brought to my attention I have realized that I do place Thor more in the light than you. That's my mistake, But it stems from the fact that I wanted to hide you're identity from you and from the people of Asgard."

Loki listened, and he understood Odin for the first time in his life. Loki was someone who placed himself in other people's shoes; and what Odin was saying made sense. Whether he liked it or not, Loki knew not everyone would instantly accept a Frost Giant as their leader. Before now he would have never thought of it himself, it was indeed; unthinkable.

"And in my defense, I've never really felt like you wanted to go out with Thor and I. I've never felt as if you liked me, so I kept a distance. I saw you with Frigga often I assumed that was making you happy, so I stayed out of it."

Loki nodded because this was true, when it came to Odin Loki never wanted to disappoint him. When it came to Frigga she loved him no matter what.

"I… I was afraid of you disappointment I suppose, Thor is outgoing and strong and I could barely pick up a weapon. I thought you were looking for a son like that, a son more like yourself."

Odin smiled sadly, "I'm sorry for making you feel that way, I can admit now I was paying more attention to Thor than you."

Loki smiled back; he felt a connection with Odin finally. But the stress of him being a Frost Giant still hung heavily over him.

"Now, Thor's and your next birthday is two months away. I figure that's a better time than ever to announce your true parentage; on your sixteenth year."

Loki considered it, two months really wasn't enough to prepare mentally. But he wanted this over with as soon as possible.

"Two months sounds perfect." Loki responded.
