Houston, TX, Midgard, 1988

A 6 year-old Astrid is in her room playing with her My Little Ponies and She-Ra action figures when suddenly she makes another one of her ponies magically appear. "Mommy! Mommy!" The ravened haired girl yells in delight as she gets up and runs to her mom. "What are you yelling about now? And don`t run in the house young lady." The older woman says in that mom tone.

"I`m a Jedi, I`m a Jedi! Like in STAR WARS!" She states excitedly causing her mother to laugh. "What are you talking about?" The laughter filled woman ask. "Look." The girl replies as she magically makes She-Ra appear in front of her. The sudden sight of the toy sobers the mom. "Astrid listen to me... You must keep this to yourself, do you understand me?" Her mom voices quickly as she rushes to her child`s side then places her hands around the girl`s arms. "Why?" The 6 year-old questions suddenly feeling fear as she begins to cry. "Because people will try to take you away from mommy and they wouldn`t be nice to you baby." She answers her daughter in the best way she can with a sorrow filled voice as she holds her child until the fear and tears goes away.
