1. Prologue

It was the third time that week that I had dreamt of the golden city. It stretched out as far as I could see. Towers and palaces, a child's dream.

The dreams sometimes came in flashes. A king sitting on his thrown; two children, one whose hair was as golden as the palace walls, the other's as dark as night, playing in a court yard; then later two men standing side by side dressed in elaborate armor which I had never seen before.

At first this world had been peaceful, but even during that time I could feel something stirring underneath the surface. Something dark and restless. Tonight my dreams were as dark as that force I had felt before. The city was no longer golden, but dark and troubled. There was chaos, panic, and in the middle of it all was a man. The same dark haired man that I had seen before in my dreams.

He stood in a great chamber next to what looked like a tree of light. But although the tree glittered and shown like crystal I could sense that there was something wrong, as if it were hurting someone. What was going on? Why wouldn't he stop this? I opened my mouth to call out to him, when suddenly there was a shout.

"Loki!"

I turned at the same time as the dark haired man to see a figure in the doorway, his golden hair falling over his shoulders as his red cape billowed out behind him. Suddenly the images changed, coming to me again in flashes. The two men fought.

At first it appeared the one in the red did not wish to fight back but after the dark haired man goaded him he swung at him and the battle continued. Then everything came faster. A stone hammer; what appeared to be a million copies of the dark haired man, all laughing; a bridge which shimmered and then exploded before my eyes.

The two men were left hanging on the edge, the one in red holding on to a long staff which was all that was keeping the second man from falling. Another figure appeared but he made no move to help and before I knew it the dark haired man had let go and was falling. I cried out for someone to help him, but the other two didn't appear to hear me and I just stood there helplessly as he disappeared further into the abyss.

Then everything went black.

OoooooO

At first there was only darkness. I couldn't see a thing. But I could feel it. And I could hear someone. Or something. Something whispering the same word over and over again.

"Hello?" I called into the darkness but there was no answer, just the same whisper, low and harsh. Like a hiss.

Then suddenly it hit me. My name. Whatever was in that darkness was hissing my name over and over again.

"Camilla... Camilla..."

"Who's there? What do you want?"

My blood ran cold as an evil laugh echoed through the darkness.

"You, my dear. We want you."

There was a flash of bright blue light and then I was pushed backwards. I reached to catch myself but I was clawing at air. There was nothing to grab. And then I was falling.
