There was no way out. A group of frost giants had them surrounded in an icy wasteland, cold wind froze the bodies of the Asgardian couple, they hugged scared, resigned to what was coming, the group of jotuns came closer, the bigger one raised his arm forging a ice weapon and ...

"Boo!"

"Ah!"

"Ha, ha, ha"

The young prince's laughter echoed throughout room before visible anger of his partner, who crossed her arms.

"Not funny" she said while she saw him mocking .

He continued laughing until he met her indignant look.

She had turned out to be nicer than he expected. He was playing with his brother in the palace when he noticed visitors, the hauld from the north had come to an audience with his father, leaving his daughter with the queen who allowed both to play in one of the royal halls, he noticed her curiosity and interest for all, so he decided to entertain her, telling her one of stories that his mother reads before sleeping, with some...changes.

Little by little her pout disappeared and was replaced with genuine interest"And then what happened? " she said looking him straight in the eyes.

"They were devoured by the frost giants, it is said that their cries are still heard in the wind." he finished, satisfied.

The girl gave him a look of disapproval "I do not like that story, that end is very bad"

"The tragic endings are the best" the younger prince looked at her in a special way with a sweet smile, he really liked her, he wanted to have her company in the future. He separated his lips slightly willing to tell her ...

"Brother!"someone opened the doors without any decorum "Here you are.I found you! I win! you made me look for you everywhere " he approached them with a big smile on his face.

"That's what the game is, brother"

"Yes, but ... who is she?" He pointed to the girl sitting next to him.

"She is-"I'm the daughter of the Hauldr from the north" she interrupted him, happy to meet Prince Thor.

"Hi, I'm Thor, do you want to play with us?" he gave her a big smile

"Of course" she smiled back, letting herself be infected by his joy.

"Great , hide and seekturned out to be very boring, let's see the new horses maybe they will not let ride one!"

Loki saw his brother with skepticism and then the girl, she nodded.

"Yes, it sounds enjoyable."

"Well let's go" the two smiled at each other as they made their way to stables, with Loki watching them stunned from his seat in the royal room,

"What do you expect brother? Come on!" Thor exclaimed euphorically , turning to see his brother.

"Ye-es, wait for me" Loki answered, hiding his apprehension as he hurried to follow them.
