Thor: Gods and Goddesses

Thor- Ch.9

"You're a vain, greedy, cruel boy!" Odin was yelling now, the harsh words causing both younger siblings to tense

If Odin was not only yelling, but yelling those harsh words at the obviously favoured sibling, what of them?

"And you are an old man and a fool!" Thor growled back, his voice echoing throughout the dome

All time seems to stop at Thor's words. Aria and Loki's mouths fall agape and no words were spoken between the speechless royals.

Odin slowly shifts his gaze to the floor, deep in thought

"A fool, yes. I was a fool to think you were ready." there was something terrifying beneath the calmness of the kings words as he spoke

Aria and Loki shared a panicked look before Loki takes a step towards Odin, imploringly

Loki's voice wavered, panic evident not only in his tone but his expression "Father--" 

"HEY!" Odin growls at the younger sibling, cutting him off. Pointing an accusing finger towards him. Terrified, Loki stops in his tracks and takes a step back, tears shining in his ocean blue eyes.

Aria rushes to her fear-struck brother and latches her arms around him, softly dragging him farther back while whispering calming words in his ear

Odin slowly retracts his arm all while staring at the floor " Thor Odinson..." he began, disappointment apparent in his voice "You have disobeyed the express command of your King." all three siblings stare at their father with wide eyes, Thor's breath catching in his throat

"Through your arrogance and stupidity, you have opened these peaceful Realms and innocent lives to the horrors of war." he ended growling

The Allfather plunges Gungnir into the Observatory's control panel. The turret turns, the Bifrost energy building along with the king's rage. It fires, as the Bifrost opens at the end of the platform, creating a portal behind Thor. Odin then marches angrily to his son as his two other children stare in horror, in fear of what is to become of their eldest brother.

"You are unworthy of this Realm..." Odin rips a disc off Thor's chest.

"...unworthy of your title..." He rips away Thor's cloak.

"You're unworthy!" he shouts, staring directly into his sons eyes angrily all while Thor stares back with a sorrowful look "of the loved ones you've betrayed." he leans in closer to get his point across

With those few words spoken, the Allfather found himself striking a nerve in Thor in his words 

Aria darts her eyes back and forth between her brother and her father as her eyes pool with tears

Odin slowly removes his hardened gaze from his son and stares sorrowfully at the floor, almost regretfully, before briskly turning around and storming back to his spot at the controls

"I hereby take from you your powers." He proclaims as he extends his hand towards his son. Mjolnir goes flying from Thor's grasp into Odin's hand.

"In the name of my father..." A finger of lightning comes off the hammer and hits Thor, disintegrating the right arm of his armour and part of the chest piece.

"...and of his father before..." Another strike disintegrates the remainder of Thor's armor, including the cape and torn-away disc on the floor.

"Loki..." Aria whispers shakily at the god as her eyes, blown wide open, stare at her eldest brother

Aria wanted to look away, but somehow she couldn't tear her eyes away from the scene before her. She longed to be back in the palace with Sif, Fandral, Hogun and Volstagg joking around by a fire with her brothers rather than watch her brother and her father argue
