The giant golden door opened widly for the All Father to enter the throne room, dressed in his glorious armour with the shining sword around his waist. He felt relief by the time he entered the palace, finally he was back to his home. Baldrians had given a tough fight for two years, but his army won once again. Odin was very proud.

His eyes fell to the side of his throne, a small smile appearing on his lips at the sight of his wife, Frigga, and his two boys waiting for him. He had truly missed them all this time. He went first to his wife, taking her in his arms. "I'm back my dear Queen, I'm back." he said to comfort her.

"Father!" Odin turned to look at his sixteen year-old sons, their eyes sparkling with joy, Thor's filled with excitement as well. He turned and returned their smiles, placing his hands on each boy's shoulder. "My sons, I finally have the chance to see you again."

"We have been waiting for you with impatience, father." young Loki said, a smile on his face. His brother Thor looked full with excitement and impatience to hear his father's adventures against the Baldr planet and its habitants.

"Tell us what happened father! How did you beat up your enemies with your sword and your enormous horse!" he said with pure enthousiasm in his voice.

The All Father smilled softly at his sons. "I would love to tell you all the events of this war, but that would be for another time. Now, I want to show you something I've brought for you from Baldr. You'll have the chance to see from first hand the skills of a Baldrian." he said, making the smiles on their faces even wider.

From the giant door of the throne room, two guards entered with their armours and a small person between them. When the princes glanced at the figure, they were surprised to see that the 'gift' of All Father to them was a girl. The guards and the young lady stopped in front of the royal familly and the two boys observed her better.

She was around fourteen years old, with straight light brown hair reaching the base of her neck, decorated with blonde pieces of hair. Her skin was a peach color, her lips a dark shade of pink and her eyes a light shade of blue like the morning sky. She was dressed in a long red dress, which showed perfectly her thin figure and simple red shoes with no heels. She was at least half a head shorter than the two surprised them though was what she was holding in her arms. It was a small thing, wrapped in a white sheet, which was moving slightly.

"Her name is Brenna and she has come here from Baldr to be your company and at your services." Odin's voice was soft as he spoke, like he had a bit of sympathy for the girl.

"Father, she is the enemy! In the palace!" Thor yelled, surprise and protest in his voice. The sudden outburst made Brenna flinch from fear and she squeezed the little thing on her chest, taking a step back."S-Stay away from me. Stay away!" she said, the fear clear in her eyes, making Thor to regret his action.

"Thor, please. The girl will be staying with us and I expect you to treat her with respect." said the All Father seriously. Thor looked at Brenna with slight embarrassment and regret. Brenna was looking at them, still afraid.

Loki stepped forward. "I apologize for my brother's behavior, he didn't mean to scare you miss." he said, putting on all his charm. Brenna slightly relaxed. "Please call me Brenna." she said shyly. Loki nodded and gave a small smile.

Frigga went beside her husband and whispered in his ear, so Brenna wouldn't hear them. "I heard about the slaughter on her planet. In this slaughter were kids and babies as well. Why did you show her such sympathy to 'adopt' her?"

Odin looked at her and saw the sadness in her eyes about the fate of Brenna's planet. "She is the sister of the one I was looking for. I wasn't able to find the other one, but I thought that Brenna would do for the case just as well. I couldn't take her without that little one, she insisted to take it with her. She is grateful to me for saving her life and that's all I need for now. As for the little one, we will take it when it's old enough and keep it imprisoned just in case."

Frigga looked sadly at Brenna who was talking with her sons. She had a big sympathy for the probably orphan girl, away from her home and later forced to do Odin's command. But she couldn't change the girl's fate. "Why don't you boys go to show Brenna the palace?" she suggested politely.

The boys smilled and went to stand at Brenna's sides, guiding her out of the salle. Then, they heard a small cry and looked at Brenna's arms, discovering with surprise that the small thing in her arms was a baby.

"Whoa, that baby it's yours?" asked Thor, looking at it with shock. Brenna's head snapped at him with the same amount of surprise. "What? No! No, it's not mine. He's my brother, Calder." she said, rocking softly the baby in her hug, hushing it immediately.

Loki looked at the small boy and grinned. "I haven't seen such a small baby before. May I?" he said, looking at Brenna. She thought for a second before nodding hesitantly. Loki guided a finger on the baby's cheek, causing the young boy to laugh.

"So what do you Baldrians are good at? You capture animals and make them your pets? You hunt for hobby? You do ride races?" asked Thor with a curious glance at Brenna. Brenna looked at him with a confused frown. "Where did you heard these things? We sure ride horses, but the others are completely wrong."

Loki rolled his eyes. "My brother has heard and believed all the rumors about your planet. He is just as curious as I am to know more about the Baldr planet." he explained. Brenna's eyebrows shot up for a moment, before looking down at Calder, thinking of her home.

"Well we love music and we can sing at any time. We find songs for all the cases and we often express our feelings with music. That's why all the Baldrians have nice voices. We also are good warriors and learn to ride in a young age. We respect the nature and its animals and live as peaceful as possible." she said, a small smile appearing on her face.

"You sing at any case? This means you also have war songs?" asked Thor excited. Loki frowned at his brothers command. He seemed like he was only interested in war. However, Brenna smilled at him and nodded in agreement. "Would you like to heard it?"

Both brothers nodded and Brenna started singing with a melodic voice that captured their ears, hiding her sadness at the thought of the war that had separated her from her familly.

I thought it would be better to start with a flashback, because that will make things clearer in future chapters. A simple warning here. Brenna is NOT the pairing for Loki. I put her and her brother in the first chapter, because they have an important role in the next chapters. You will figure out yourselves. Please review! I don't own Loki, Thor and blah blah...
