"Do not call me Liesmith for this, for all else that I have tricked you with, but not for this," hissed Loki, anger clear in his voice. He had been afraid to show Thor, and he had been the one lied to for the longest.
"You think me in some lifelong game with Mother and Father over this, but you are wrong. I found the truth myself only a century past, and I have struggled with what to do or how to feel. The All-Father collapsed into the Odin-Sleep when I confronted him, and Mother gifted me the Casket, neither knew that I had known before this day."
He had made jest of Thor for many things in his life, lied to him often, but not about this. This was a cruel secret that had been kept from them both.
"Think only on your throne, Thor, if that is all that must fill your waking hours. I will not be dragged back like a criminal to wait on your pleasure."
