“My King, forgive me for asking, but why must we be so distant to perform the Bifrost?” an Asgardian legionnaire asked, he and his two other comrades pushing up to the top of the hill. He paused the moment he and the others reached the top, their king remaining still ahead of them.
He planted the butt of his spear deep in the grass beneath him, his armor pushing him down after the long trek across the valley and up the hills. His fellow soldiers appeared to his left and right, their eyes focused ahead. The Asgardian asked, “Have the citizens become wary to its presence?”
Odin remained unmoved. He did so until the powerful silence infected the four of them, and then he still kept his words on a chain. He waited until the heavy summer storm clouds rolled in above the Everfree Forest, blocking out the sun, spreading a blanket of darkness across the hill they stood upon and the valleys they had once set foot.
A harsh breeze pushed the king’s cape backwards, yet he stood still, staring ahead into the forest. The three Asgardian soldiers knew better than to give their king the proper respect. If he desired silence, he would receive it. If he did not wish to answer foolish questions, then he did not have to. It seems all the king wanted was to stand and stare, so his soldiers did the same.
“No…it is not that.”
They then faced their king, curiosity in their eyes as to what his explanation would be. He did not, would not face them completely. His palm tightened ever so slightly on the grip of his spear, but they didn’t see it. None of them did. They remained together, staring at the back of their king’s head, and waited.
Waited for an eternity.
Waited for him to finally say, “Because you all have seen something only I must know about.”
One Asgardian was soon to speak out, question his king about his accusations. He never did have time to open his mouth, or react accordingly. Neither did his two other comrades.
For when Odin spun around to face them, he held his spear with malice, with ill intentions. Then he unleashed his weapon’s power and fury onto the three unsuspecting guards and vaporized them within a stream of golden light. Vaporized them before they could even let out a scream.
Completely vanquished. Silenced. Not even their ashes remained.
A roar of thunder clashed in the clouds above, unnatural lightning brewing. All that remained was just the Asgardian King, alone, silent, standing on the edge of the valley and staring off into the town of Ponyville. Just staring, his jaw slightly ajar, the grip on his spear finally loosening.
He rested the end of his weapon in the swaying grass, his focus forward, eyeing Princess Twilight’s castle. And he remained.
Just like that.
With a golden wave flushing across his skin.
Revealing the sinister grin beneath the golden veil.
And with that veil gone, Loki smiled.
“I like this world,” he stated, hissing as a serpent would when nearing its wounded prey, the look of a feral and calculating predator burning in his eyes. And it was there for only a second. Just a second before the golden veil returned, the King of Asgard replacing the predator.
The Bifrost impacted the edge of the hill he stood on, and with one final knowing grin to Equestria and beyond, Odin stepped into the light.
The Guardian of Worlds tore his sword from the ground as his king finally returned. Through the swirling lights he had found as daily routine, Heimdall placed the tip of Hofund near his feet and waited for his king to step forth.
And so he did. With Gungnir by his side, Odin strode through the Bifrost Bridge and acknowledged Heimdall’s presence with a simple nod. Heimdall did not repeat his king’s actions, instead choosing to stare curiously to Odin’s direction.
He asked, “Where are the other soldiers?”
Without stopping, Odin faced the bridge ahead and replied, “There were many casualties.”
He left it at that, Heimdall watching him step forth onto the bridge and enter the golden city of Asgard, his kingdom. And he walked alone.
Alone.
It was still there. The day Asgard nearly perished, the days that followed and Heimdall still saw it. Or, rather, couldn’t see it. It was a darkness of some sort, clouding his vision, blinding his thought and keeping him strained. It resonated constantly, hanging across the Nine Realms like an alien virus. It remained there.
It remained near Odin. His king.
“My Lord…why can’t I see you?”
He turned back towards the stars. Stared forever.
“Why can’t I see that world clearly?”
Loki you son of a....

Loki....you devious rotten snake. Whatever you've done to Odin and whatever you have planned for the new world you now have interest in, you must answer for your crimes!
7483634 I knew he doesn't know about Thanos. But we do. And we know that the Avengers are the only people that can stop them. But when you put it that way he does appear more sympathetic than villainous. Still, with so few Avengers left, who will protect the world?
7483565 I can understand that, but what I'm asking is when did they do it, it never said in the story
That MothaFucking Snake, can't wait to see the fate he deserves in Thor Ragnarok
7483711 But now that I see him as a more sympathetic person, how will he be written in the sequel?
I'm honestly waiting for Captain America to explain his past with HYDRA, Howard Stark, and Bucky Barnes a.k.a Winter Soldier. As well as see how the gang will react when they learn that Hulk and Thor left the Avengers.
Guess who's back bitches?

Loki, so help me God, you are dead!
Hey, Thor? Yeah, whenever you find Loki out, call Luna. I can just imagine:
Loki: *Smacks Thor aside* What do you have now, oaf-
*Luna hits him with Mjolnir*
Thor: Thanks.
Loki: Are you fucking serious?! An Equine is worthy?!
Luna: What?
7483565 To be fair, I looked at the scene with the 'dark past' and I'm just gonna say it. It's pretty dumb. I have a hard time sticking with stories that screws up the MLP continuity with stuff that isn't confirmed. I do love everything else. I just can't wait for the sequel.
Loki is pretty sly.
Did all of you forget the ending of Thor The Dark World?
7483803 And they'll return in Infinity War, right?
Hm... Loki, you sneaky devil... Seems the Trickster God has taken an interest in this new world. I'm surprised he kept the facade up for so long to aid his sworn enemies. (Then again, it makes sense if he has plans himself now and wants no competition.)
Oh, shit! I'd forgotten about that! Maybe it's cos Thor: The Dark World was boring as hell... But still, HOLY SHIT!
Yeah, knew right from the start it was Loki, but what I'm still scratching my head over is what those three soldiers knew that he had to kill them over. Was it the map in Twilight's castle?
Great, now we gotta deal with loki''s shit. Lol
7483721 They helped him right after everyone else left the library.
7483597 ...gun.
7483624 When Thor: Ragnarok rolls around...we may just see.
7484074 You will all kneel.
7484364 I kinda needed some more motivation for Ultron to want to destroy Equus.
7484867 Like a predator, he waits to strike.
7485054 Not one of Marvel's best films, but still alright.
7485700 More like the magic in Twilight's castle, and the magic Twilight and her friends have.
7486205 Bastard's never up to any good.
Yup it was Loki....
ITS MY BOI LOKI!
I F***ING KNEW IT!!
Of course Loki would return at some point. Couldn't have an 'Avengers' tale without at least one presence of the notorious trickster in Thor's brotherly figure. This does not look good just when it seems all is over.
I like how everyone (including Post-Ragnarok commenters) are acting so shocked at the revelation that Odin is actually Loki.
It was revealed at the end of Thor: The Dark World that Loki had replaced Odin.
I knew it! I knew it was Loki! Now he shows an interest in Equestria himself... that can't be good.
