About ten minutes after us leaving the Bifrost we arrive at palace, the golden building shimmers in the sunlight of the evening sky. The colours erupting in the clouds have always mesmerized me.

As my stallion comes to a halt I climb off and onto the ground, offering my hand to Loki to assist him in getting off. After Loki climbs off the stead, Thor hands the reins off to the palace guards so they can return them to the stable before doing so they send me a small welcome.

Before my disappearance I had been the highest ranking palace guard, everyone else was below me and under my command. It was nice to have so much power though I never abused such a privilege.

"Are you coming, darling?" Loki asks as he and Thor glance back towards me, they were a little way ahead of me.

I nod slightly and run to catch up to them. It feels odd to be back again after so long of being with the Avengers. I think I am more nervous to be home than I am happy.

As we walk throughout the palace I can't help but look for the things that have changed. The palace seems brighter, more spacious than the last time I was here. It could just be that I haven't been here for so long but things seem happier than when I left.

It doesn't take long before we are walking into the throne room, where Odin sits upon his throne.

"My sons..." he starts before looking past Thor and Loki and seeing me. "(Y/N)?"

I walk forward past the two princes and get down on one knee bowing my head to him, "It is good to see you again my king."

"Are you here for a visit or permanently?" he asks looking at me curiously.

"If you will have it, I would like to stay here permanently," I say looking up at him.

"Then welcome home, now if you excuse us must punish my son for his wrong doing," Odin says looking towards Loki whose gaze is now down cast.

"If I may interrupt, Loki has no reason to be punished for what happened if he does, is there any reason in sendi him to the palace cells? Before my disappearance from the palace I recall him behaving because of my presence. I'm sure the same thing would happen now," I interrupt, respectfully standing up again.

"One week, if he has not changed his attitude towards people both here and on Midgard, then he will be sentenced to the cells," Odin says looking down at me. "I expect you to keep an eye on my son at all times, is that understood?"

"Yes, my king... It is understood," I say before turning to take Loki back to his room, assuming it was in the same place.
