Prologue:

It was a starry night in the kingdom of Asgard and the Royal Family slept in their home. One member however couldn't get to sleep.

A young child Thora was tossing and turning in her bed as she started having terrible dreams. She was visions in her head of a giant fire daemon (the size of a mountain) with a huge sword wiping out hundreds of buildings in Asgard.

It gave out a might roar and then "AHHHHH!"

Thora woke up with a jolt and screamed. She panted and panted but realised that it was all a dream. She rubbed her eyes and sighed in shock.

She hopped out of her bed and took her little blanket and wrapped it round her shoulders. She tiptoed out of her room, past her little brother Loki's, her parents', her uncle and her aunts and her cousin's room. She made her way to the royal library. It was a huge room with strange Asgardian magic swirling around in the ceiling and high wooden shelves filled with loads of books.

She walked to the section that held a label that said: The History of Asgard. This was where they kept the history of Asgard's battles, the Royal Family and other things like that.

Thora looked around the section until she found what she was looking for. The book was label, "The Royal Asgardian Family," she took it out and went to some grand chairs at the far corner and sat down on one of them. She opened the pages. It revealed pictures of her ancestors and her family.

She then came to a page that showed a picture of her brother who she looked so much like. Thora desperately wished she could meet him just worse.

"Boo!" a voice shouted.

Thora squealed in terror and she fell off the chair with the book. She stood back up on her feet and saw her younger brother Loki laughing whilst walking out from behind the chair.

"Loki, don't scare me like that!" Thora ranted.

"You should have seen your face!" Loki continued laughing but he saw how much Thora didn't like it and stopped. He simply said, "I saw you walk out of your bedroom earlier and head to the library,"

"I had a bad dream,"

"Don't tell me it was Ragnarah again," Loki angrily said.

"It's Ragnarok, little brother. How many times do I have to tell you?"

"Okay, you dreamed about Ragnarok again?" Loki asked more politely.

"Yes, it was so terrifying so I came here to read some stuff about our family,"

"Do you always have to do that?"

"Yes, because reading about our family makes me feel safer,"

"Well can I join in with you?"

"Sure if you promise to not scare me again. Deal?" Thora held out her hand.

"Deal," Loki shock her hand.

They both sat on the same grand chair which was big enough to hold both of them and they looked through the book.

For half an hour, they looked at loads of pages about their family until they heard the footsteps of their father come into the room.

"Children!" he called alerting his daughter and son. "You two are supposed to be in bed,"

"Sorry, father we couldn't sleep," Thora answered as she and her brother hopped down from their chair.

"Thora had a dream about Ragnarok again so she came in here. I followed to keep her company," Loki said as well.

"He did and it was really sweet of him," Thora supported taking her brother's hand as she didn't mention the part where he scared her.

"Okay, my children. You two need to go back to bed. You need your beauty sleep,"

"But we're not tired," Loki whinned.

"Please tell us a story and then we'll go to bed," Thora begged as she and her brother held their hands tightly together in front of their chests and kneeled down.

"Alright," Odin gave in, "But after that it's bed time,"

"Deal," both the siblings said.

Odin turned to his wife Frigga and nodded to her. She walked away back to her room to get back to bed. Odin said on one of the grand chairs whilst Loki and Thora went to sit on the carpet in front of him with their legs crossed.

"Long before the birth of light…" Odin began. "There was darkness and from that darkness came the Dark Elves. The most ruthless of their kind Malekith sought to transform our universe back into one of eternal night,"

Loki and Thora were shocked.

"Such evil was powerful through the power of the Aether,"

"What's the Aether, dad?" Loki asked.

"An ancient force of infinite destruction,"

"But Malekith was stopped, right?" Thora asked.

"Yes he was my darling. The noble armies of Asgard led by my father King Bor raged a mighty war against those creatures. As the nine worlds converged above him, Malekith could unleash the Aether. But Asgard ripped the weapon from his grasp. Without it the dark elves fell,"

"Oh, thank goodness," Loki said in delight.

"I'm so glad that, that monster didn't win," Thora cheered with delight,"

"Malekith sacrificed his own people in an attempt but he was vanquished and the Aether was no more,"

"So no one will be able to turn our universe into one of eternal night?" Loki asked.

"That's right, Loki," Odin said. "Now kids, it's time for bed you two,"

"Okay, father," Thora answered. She took his brother's hand and they walked out the library back to their rooms whilst being followed by their father.

They tiptoed down the corridor making sure not to wake up Uncle Orpheus, Auntie Lyria, Cousin Una and their mum. They finally came to their rooms which were opposite each other.

"Well, night Loki," Thora said yawning.

"Night sis," Loki turned to go inside and get back to bed.

But his sister spoke out again, "Loki, thank you for coming to the library and giving me some company. Even if you did scare me,"

Loki turned round and answered. "You're welcome. You know I'd doing anything for you, my sister,"

"And I, you,"

The siblings hugged each other a bit.

During their embrace, Thora said, "We're always be the best brother and sister right?"

"Always," her brother replyed.

He noticed their father in front of them with his arms crossed clearly saying they had to be in bed.

"Night, Loki," Thora said kissing her brother's check before skipping back into her room.

"Night...Thora," Loki said. He then turned in. But as he walked back to his bed, he felt that something would happen in the future between him and his sister who he loved so much. But that something...he wasn't sure what it was.
