Chapter 1: Sentence

At the Royal Palace's throne room

    "How dare you speak like that filth mons-," Tyr started but was interrupted by the blunt end of Gungnir hitting the floor.

    “Enough," Odin turns his eye from his son to the smiling prisoner, " you are not even going to try to defend your action."

    “What's the point of it? You already made up your mind on the verdict,” Loki spoke in a condescending tone.

    "Know your place, you speak to the All Father," said one of the guards behind Loki before hitting the back of the trickster's knees with, making him kneel.

    Two guards that were in front of him are now on each side holding down his shoulders, to keep him on his knees, while the four guards that were holding his chains were prepared to subside him if needed.

    Thor had to stop himself trying to help his brother, Balder notices this and puts a reassuring hand on the Thunderer's shoulder, Thor looked at Balder.

    “Now is not the time to help him," Balder whispered discreetly to Thor " if you go there now you will make the situation worse."

    “I can't stand at the fact that our brother is being treated as a common criminal," Thor whispered back to Balder " regardless of his action, he is still a prince of Asgard."

    “I know but it's not our decision to make," Balder answer soberly.

    Thor frowned but got hold of himself, most of the time he just wants to hit the problem with Mjolnir but this isn't something that can be solved with his hammer.

    While the conversation between Thor and Balder as going on Hermod and Vidar observed Loki with indifference, even though he is their brother they never interacted much with him, so they were neither in favor or against this trial, Tyr on the other hand glared hatefully at him, he never liked Loki, he always thought of him as waste of time and effort from his parents part, later when he started to learn the art of seidr, a woman's domain, he went from waste of time to disgrace in his eyes, how his father had the patience to allow such thing to happen he will never understand.

    To make matters worse that monstrous mutt he calls son is responsible for the loss of his left hand, ever since he was a child, he has been nothing but trouble for the royal family and Argard itself, he is glad that the All-Father has seen reason and will pass judgement on the troublemaker.

    On the other side of the throne Frigga looked at her child, adopted but hers, with sorrow but then she saw his eyes, his seemingly tired and broken eye but to a Vanir like her there was something else there, it was only her mastery of seidr and her intuition that allowed her to peer deeper into his soul, she was not sure of what she saw but it felt.. Ancient?

    She let her concerns and worries show as she looked at Loki.

    “Do not forget that the kindness of you mother is the only thing that keep me from putting you in the deepest part of the dungeon,” Odin reminded him.

    “I know, I spend all my time there hearing the guard that you were being too soft on me,” Loki remarked back.

    Odin cast his gaze on the guards, then return it to his wayward son, "It matters not."

    “You are a egocentric spoiled child that fails to recognize the value of loyalty, mercy and the lives of your fellow man," said the Ruler of Asgard.

    “By my authority as All Father and protector of the Nine Realm I banish you from Asgard until such a time that you learn these lessons!" to emphasize the sentence passed by Odin the sound of Gungnir blunt end hitting the floor once again echoed through the halls.

    “This trial is over, you're allowed to have one final conversation with your brothers and mother." said Odin with finality in his judgment.

    Tyr turned to the entrance and started to walk out of the throne room, "I have nothing to talk and nothing listen from him."

    “So typical of both of you Try avoiding and ignoring me, it feels like my childhood all over again," Loki remarked condescendingly in a sarcastic tone.

    Balder being the smart one of the group he inquired about his brother sentence, "Father, I couldn't help but notice that you didn't announce to where he will be banished. Could you perhaps, enlighten us on that?"

    "Verily, I would like to know as well?" asked Thor, being troubled and relieved at the same time, remembering his own banishment, remembering its rewards and hardships, thinking that maybe this is what he needs.

    Thor was brought out of thoughts by the answer of his father, " He will be banished to the realm of his granddaughters to learn his lesson."

    Thor and Balder were the only ones that remained, with Hermod and Vidar leaving soon after Tyr, their eyes widen in surprise as did Loki's eyes but for a different reason.

    Odin let his amusement show at the surprised looks on their faces, turning to Loki he says, "Have you forgotten your own son, Sleipnir?"

    Loki was surprised by the sentence more than anything else, he expected imprisonment at best and execution at worst, banishment he can work with but banishment to the realm of his granddaughters, that he didn't expected.

    Loki let the feeling of surprise pass, with a face of indifference just raised an eyebrow and added, " So you are sending me to Celly and Lulu's realm. You are dumping me so you don't have to deal with me, really mature of your part."

    Now it's Odin's turn to be surprised but with thousands year of politics under his belt he didn't let it show as he looked at Loki, " So you know."

    “Of course I know, I do keep track of all my children and their families," said Loki to Odin.

    All the while Balder and Thor, still in a state of shock, looked back and forth at their father and brother not knowing how to react.

    “Whaaa-”said Bader and Thor at the same time.

    Odin sighed and asked "Do you want to say anything, Frigga?"

    “May I speak to him in private?" asked Frigga.

    “Of course, but be brief,” recommended Odin as Frigga used her seidr to create a bubble around just herself and Loki to keep the conversation from being heard by the other in the room.

Few hours earlier in the Realm of Statera, Land of Equestria, City of Canterlot

    Princess Celestia was enjoying her break from day court in her chambers, reading her faithful student most recent friendship report.

    “I wonder if anything interesting will happen today?" the sun princess asked herself aloud.

    “PRINCESS!!" the day guard screamed in urgency as he practically threw himself into the room in a hurry to get to her.

    “I shouldn't have said that, I tempted fate just now," she muttered to herself as resisting the urge to facehoof.

    “What seems to be the problem my little pony?” she asked in the familiar motherly tone that she was know for.

    “There is something going on the sky, strange clouds started forming out of nowhere and then they started to swirl around into some kind of vortex,” reported the panting guard, “ I came to you as soon as I could.”

    Looking at her window she saw a strangely familiar cloud formation on the sky, clouds that weren't under the influence of pegasi or the unicorns.

    “You did well my little pony, wake up and inform my sister of this development immediately,” she ordered as she opens the door of the balcony.

    Immediately after her order was given, he turned around and ran to the night princess chambers.

    Flying up and out of the castle grounds onto the city square right beneath the center of the vortex.

    Her little ponies were hiding inside their houses and looking through their windows with hope that their princesses will deal with the potential threat.

    Hearing the beats of multiples wings and the steps of many hooves, she looks behind her, only to see her sister and a contingent of guards of both day and night divisions armed with spears.

    Not far behind them were the group of six mares know as the elements of harmony, the group consisted of two members of each one of the Three Tribes, two unicorns, two pegasi and two earth ponies.

    Pinkie Pie is a earth pony that has a, you guessed, pink coat and pink cotton candy like mane/tail and light blue eyes.

    Applejack is a earth pony that has a light orange coat and a blonde mane tied by a red ribbon near its end, a similar ribbon of the same color at the near end of her tail, she has forest green eyes and wears a light brown stetson hat on her head.

    Rainbow Dash is a pegasus that has a light blue coat and a, you guessed again, rainbow colored mane and tail, her mane being unkempt gave her a more wild and careless look and she has magenta eyes.

    Fluttershy is a pegasus that has a butter yellow coat, a light pink mane and tail both slightly longer than the average pony and teal eyes.

    Rarity is a unicorn that has marshmallow white coat, azure eyes and well kept and stylised mane and tail.

    Lastly Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia's faithful student, is a unicorn that has a violet coat, purple eyes and mane/tail are dark blue with a purple and a pink streaks.

    Celestia noticed that they are wearing their elements as they came running toward her.

    “Princess what it's going on? What is that strange phenomena in the sky? We are under attack? It’s another old enemy? Or maybe it’s Disc-” frantically asked Twilight only to be interrupted by Luna, “ calm yourself Twilight Sparke we shall protect our subjects, with our lives if needed, against this unknown threat.”

    “Luna are you slipping into the royal we again?” asked Celestia turning to her sister

    “No sister I meant we as in you and I,” Luna answered.

    “Just checking, say how you all got here so quickly?” asked Celestia before adding, “ I mean you and the elements?”

    “The elements were about to leave Canterlot when this happened,” pointing to the sky, “ I didn't sleep because I was strangely edgy and when I you saw you flying, I just followed,” explained Luna

    Looking at to the sky again she asked Luna without looking at her, “Luna, this phenomena is somewhat familiar isn't it?”

    “Now that you mention, yes that does look familiar,” said Luna with a thoughtful look on her face.

    “Familiar, so both of you have seen it before?” inquired Twilight.

   “UH, UH, UH, maybe it's a portal for alien to come and visit Equestria,” said Pinkie excitedly while keeping her hoof raised like a student in class.

    “Pinkie dear, where did you get such an absurd idea there is no such a thing as aliens,seriously now is not the time,” Rarity declared confidently.

    The rest of the mane six wordlessly agreed with Rarity but they missed the look of uncertainty that the royal sisters gave each other.

    Luna was about to speak when a thunderous noise immediately caught the attention of everypony.

    From the center of the vortex a beam of energy was shot and hit the ground before residing.

    When the smoke cleared the beam of energy left an intricate and stylised circle that was burned into the ground.

    But that's not what caught their attention, their attention were on the tall mysterious figure, seemingly made of metal, gold and silver intertwining in a complex pattern but the strangest feature was his legs, nothing wrong with them but he has eight.

Celestia and Luna both froze while looking at the visitor from beyond the star, Twilight interpreted as a sign that whatever this was it was a enemy.

    Rainbow Dash being the reckless pony that she was she immediately rocketed at him.

    “NO!! RAINBOW DON’T-” Luna tried to warn her but it was too late.

    Before hitting the stranger a magic circle appeared in front of her, she tried to stop but it was too late and went through the circle and disappeared.

    The circle reappeared behind him and Rainbow came out of it still flying at high speed, losing control she crashed on the floor of the city square.

    The gold and silver on the stranger started to shift and disappear showing not only his gray fur but his eyes and hooves glowing with magical energy as well.

    Celestia felt tears come out of her eyes as she felt the gaze of the glowing eyes of the stranger.

    Luna averted her gaze with the feeling of shame at being in his presence.

    Twilight was reading a spell as was Rarity, Pinkie brought out her canon and AJ her rope while Fluttershy was hiding behind the guards that had their weapons ready to attack the possible thread.

    “STOOOOOP!!!!”

    The royal voice of both sisters made everypony freeze.

    The stranger approached the princesses while they remained in their position after the use of the royal voice.

    “Hello Celestia and Luna, it’s been a thousand years since I last saw you two” the deep and commanding voice of the stranger.

    Celestia hugged him “I missed you father.”

    ….

    “FATHER!!!” everypony shouted.
