ENJOY! It's only short :( sorry I do not own Marvel or any of it's characters :( only Tora and Loti :)

‘She’s your prisoner now!’ Thor sharply inquired as we walked swiftly towards the allfather. He was stood beside the throne and was talking to Fandral, Volstagg and others. I was struggling to keep pace with Thor.

‘Leave us.’ Odin spoke, his tone darkened as he motioned for the remaining Asgardians to leave. Without hesitation, they quietly descended the steps to the throne. ‘I do not wish to fight you.’ Odin was quick to make the offer, but that wasn’t why Thor and I were here. He looked towards his son.

‘Nor I with you but I intend to pursue Malekith.’ Thor declared.

‘We possess the aether; Malekith will come to us.’ Odin brusquely pivoted, throwing a questioning look at his son.

‘Yes and they will destroy us.’ Thor did have a point.

‘You overestimate the power of these creatures.’ But Odin had a point too.

‘No, I value our people’s lives. I’ll take Jane to the Dark World and draw the enemy away from Asgard. When Malekith pulls the aether from Jane it will be exposed vulnerable, and I will destroy it and him.’ Thor explained.

‘If you fail you risk this weapon falling into the hands of our enemies.’ Odin’s voice held no amusement. He was merely stating the consequences if his son chose his actions unwisely, I thought.

 ‘The risk is far greater if we do nothing.’ Thor fumed. ‘His ship could be over our heads right now and we’d never even know it.’ He continued, his actions mimicking his words as he pointed to the ceiling.

I stood there next to Thor, my hands clasped together and focusing on being quiet and still, also trying not to sneeze or do anything embarrassing.

‘If and when he comes, his men will fall by ten thousand Asgardian blades.’ Odin responded, poised and proud in contrast to his son’s accusations.

‘And how many of our men shall fall on theirs.’ Thor voiced, uncertainty dripping from his words.

‘AS MANY AS ARE NEEDED.’ Odin thundered. His chest was heaving, his heart pushing against his ribs. Was he going to faint or something or was this normal for him, he was the King after all.

He was taking deep breaths before he added- ‘We will fight. Until the last Asgardian breath, the last drop of Asgardian blood.’ He was finding it hard to not pause for breath.

‘And how are you different from Malekith?’ Thor questioned.

‘Ha-HA!’ Odin said unexpectedly. ‘The difference, my son, is that I will win.’
