Author's Note: I've been sitting on this for a while. My brother and I were talking about turning it into a web series but we never did… Anyway it'd Fem! Loki, from way before the movie. They are still kids in this one. This series is gonna have a lot more to do with the actual legends than the movies though they will eventually come up. I own nothing!
1. First Signs
It was at a very young age that the princess of Asguard began showing potential for magic. As she and her brother, her elder of only a year and a half, played in the garden, watched not so carefully by their ever attentive nurse maid who spent more of her time watching the enhuryar train then watching the two royal siblings the older chased his sister around the golden fountain as she giggled innocently.
"Give it back Loki!" She laughed and dodged out of his way her tiny hand wrapped around a toy sword.
"No Thor! You have to come get it! That's how this game works!" Loki giggled and watched Thor with sharp bright green eyes that sparkled with an intelligence that belied her mere four years of age. Thor began to pout and called out to their caretaker who had been watching the training grounds on the other side of the garden wall.
"Andeena! Loki took my sword! Make her give it back. "The tall slim brunette frowned.
"Loki. Give your brother back his sword or I'll tell your mother." This was the only threat that held any weight for Loki, for even at such a young age she was anything but afraid of her father. He tended to ignore her and she stayed out of his way as much as possible. But Frigga dotted on her daughter as any mother would. Loki frowned and held out the sword blade first. Thor stuck out his tongue.
"That's not how you hand someone his sword! You have to hand it to me hilt first." Loki glared at him as he smirked at her. She tossed the wooden blade and caught it with the hilt facing Thor.
"There take your stupid sword." Thor glared at her, secretly impressed by her skill. He snatched his sword back and in doing so he set her of balance and knocked her over. She landed on her rear and Thor laughed. Loki glared at him tears beginning to brim in her bright emerald eyes. She sniffled and her eyes narrowed. She felt her anger rise up and Thor shouted in surprise dropping his sword as it hissed and morphed into a large green snake. The snake glared at him hissed at him once and curled up near Loki's feet. She starred at it as it seemed to fall asleep. It was at that point Andeena actually turned around, preparing to reprimand the young mischief maker who was usually to blame for any mischief that came about and saw the snake. She screamed.
The instant her scream left her throat six of the enhuryar leapt over the wall to the defense of both of the young royals. One of them vaulted over the snake which lazily opened one eye and watched as the armored man scooped up Loki and pointed his blade at the snake which didn't even bother to raise its head as it watched them. Thor tried to get out from behind the legs of three of the other enhuryar but was unable to before the garden doors opened and Frigga hurried to her children.
"What is going on here?" She demanded of the breathless Andeena who shook her head and pointed at the snake. Frigga looked at it intently.
"It is a construct of magic, built around something solid. Easy magic, that any well taught novice can do. Who is responsible for it?" Andeena shook her head.
"I do not know your highness." Thor piped up.
"Loki did it!" Loki glared at her brother whose small finger was pointing at her. She stuck her tongue out at him. Frigga turned to her daughter with raised eyebrows.
"Is this true Loki?" Loki looked down at the ground and nodded. Frigga took her daughter from the enhuryar and hugged her.
"That is very impressive my little one! Andeena fetch Thor a new sword, you may stand down noble enhuryar, you have done admirably to defend the children of Odin against any threat even those that are only perceived. "The warriors bowed to the queen of Asguard and returned to their training. Frigga set Loki down near her creation which seemed to sigh contentedly as Loki ran a hand along its head. She smiled and Thor watched from a few steps away.
"That is most impressive sister! How did you do it?" Loki shrugged.
"I know not."
"Your new pet needs a name Loki. What shall it be?" Loki looked up at her brother and smiled.
"Well it was your sword first so you name him." Thor thought hard for a moment.
"Saber!" Loki giggled as the snake slithered up her small arm and rested its head on her shoulder.
"But it was not even a saber to begin with!" Thor frowned and crossed his arms.
"Tho said I could name the beast!" Loki glared, masterfully hiding her laughter.
"He is not a beast. You are!" Frigga smiled as she watched as the small blonde chased the dark haired girl around the fountain once more.
