Useless Vigilance

Within Asgard's magnificent grand hall. Odin sat upon the throne with his eye closed, Gungnir, the Eternal Spear, in his left hand, his bearing imposing and majestic. Beside him was his queen, Frigga. Frigga, whom Odin had instructed to protect him, could not conceal the worry in her beautiful, noble eyes. She did not know what had happened. Her child Loki had committed an unforgivable wrong, while her husband Odin seemed to be facing some unknown danger and had told her to protect him.
