Loki, You Will Become King!

Loki lifted his head, his eyes turning stern. It was as though he saw once more the dominance and majesty of Odin, King of the Gods. Odin showed not the slightest dejection at having been defeated. Holding Gungnir, he sat broadly upon Asgard's throne, gazing down upon the Nine Realms with composed, majestic dominance as he looked at Loki. Loki snapped out of his daze. "Loki, my child," Odin said. "Why?!" Loki was unwilling to accept it.
