– WHEN THEY RETURNEDKALLIAN WAS GRATEFUL TO HAVE HOGUN AND VOLSTAGG TAKE FANDRAL FROM HER. At the moment she was much more concerned with Thor and her father, and feared she might drop him if she carried him any longer. 

"Why did you take us back??" Thor snapped. 

"Do you realise what you've done?! What you've started?!"

"I was protecting my home!"

"You cannot even protect your friends! How can you hope to protect a kingdom?!" He tossed the sword to Heimdall, looking to the others, holding Fandral. "Get him to the healing room! Now!"

"There won't be a kingdom to protect if you're afraid to act! The Jotuns must learn to fear me, just as they once feared you."

"That's pride and vanity talking, not leadership. You've forgotten everything I taught you about a warrior's patience. Even your sister, for all her faults on earth did not manage to bring war to us."

"While you wait and be patient, the Nine Realms laugh at us! The old ways are done. You'd stand giving speeches while Asgard falls."

"You are a vain, greedy, cruel boy!" Odin snarled. 

"And you are an old man and a fool!"

Kallie watched them with caution while Odin grew quiet. "Yes. I was a fool... to think you were ready."

"Father-" Loki tried, stepping forward, but an animalistic shout from Odin sent him stumbling back again, right over to his sister, who put herself protectively between the two. 

"Thor Odinson... you have betrayed the express command of your king. Through your arrogance and stupidity, you've opened these peaceful realms and innocent lives to the horror and desolation of war!" He stabbed the sword back into place, sending lightning about the room once again. "You're unworthy of these realms! You're unworthy of your title!" Kallian raised a hand to her mouth as Thor's cape was torn from him. "You're unworthy... of the loved ones you have betrayed." He stepped back, raising his hand towards his son. "I now take from you your power!" Mjolnir flew to his hand. "In the name of my father," one arm of armor fell away. "and his father before," and the other arm. "I, Odin Allfather, cast you out!" With a blast from the hammer, the last of his armor was gone, and Thor fell away down the Bifrost. 

Kallian gasped, grabbing her younger brother's arm and pulling him away, out of the room and down the bridge. Her eyes were glassy, but she kept her composure held taught. She would see Thor again. That much, she knew for certain. So for now, all there was to do was survive Odin's wrath.

Hours passed, and Kallian had not spoken with her father. Nor, to her knowledge, had Loki. Of course, Frigga assured them he would calm down eventually, though whether he would return Thor to Asgard at that time was not certain. 

With stars high in the sky, Kallian sat amongst Loki, Sif, Hogun, Volstagg and Fandral, who had begun to heal from his wounds. 

"We should never have let him go." Volstagg sighed. 

Sif only shook her head. "There was no stopping him."

"Well, at least he's only banished, not dead." Fandral put in. "Which is what we'd all be if that guard hadn't told Odin where we'd gone."

Volstagg winced as Hogun spread a balm over the frostbite wound on his arm. Meanwhile, Loki was observing his own, undamaged hand. "How did the guard even know?"
