The party arrived via the Rainbow Gate, in a flash of light that only Heimdall could create. Although I fully knew how to ride our eight legged horses, I was placed in a hand carriage…. Great.

Before we had left, I had complained to father, "Why in the hell do I have to ride in this thing and wear this stupid dress? Why must I put up a front when everyone knows I don't want to be here, hell even their prince doesn't like this."

But to say such things to Odin, Allfather, well let's just say I was further shoved into the carriage.

However, back to the present. Surrounded by guards and led by my father, we set off across the frozen landscape of Jotunheim towards the icy castle. Today was my engagement day, I was to be given to the Jotuns as a part of a peace treaty between our races. Being engulfed in a never-ending war that was only begrudgingly ended because we took the source of their power tends to make ruling another realm kind of hard, especially if they don't want you there. It was to be a last-ditch effort to at least get trade established.

Trumpets brought me out of my stupor as we had arrived finally at the castle gates. I was stiffly brought out of the carriage and swiftly surrounded by guards for my protection. A veil was then placed over my face, offering me a slight piece of privacy to take in the world around me. The world that would be my home in a years' time. The entrance was entrancing to say the least. Ice was skillfully sculpted into pillars and scenes depicting the war, in all its bloody detail. It seemed that everything here was made of ice, yet it all felt like stone, nothing like this had ever existed in Asgard and it was intriguing to me.

Sadly, I was not able to fully take in my surroundings as we neared the throne.

"King Laufey of Jotunheim, and his heir Loki Laufeyson."

"King Odin Allfather, and his daughter Thorne."

The ceremony took forever! Finally, after the known agreements were announced, it was time for the engagement. The rings were brought out, one forged by Jotunheim and the other by Asgard, each to be worn by the other race. The ring I was to wear was smooth like ice and was cool to the touch, but decorated with blood rubies and opals to match my skin tone. Loki's was a simple gold band etched with designs of my people, however before they were finished I added a few designs myself of Jotun lore. Might as well appeal to them right?

When the last of the ceremony was over, our fathers went to discuss the smaller details in the treaty. Loki noticed that I was still in wonderment at all that was happening.

"I'm sorry for the stiffness of our first meeting, formalities and all, Let's start over yeah? I'm Loki.' He gave me a smile, it could almost be seen as genuine if not plagued with the same sadness I felt, the loss of freedom. "Pleasure to meet you Loki," I lifted my veil, revealing ivory skin and piercing blue eyes that rivaled his own azure skin, "I'm the peace treaty."
