CHAPTER ONE

light a way

There were three things that Amelia knew well, one that she hated her name, two that she looked amazing in orange, when many people did not and that snow was magical. No matter what someone said, Mia thought that snow was pure magic falling to earth. Therefore, when it started snowing in her small town in Texas she was the first one out the door, she did not care that it was almost two AM. Mia had rushed down her stairs skidded across the hall to the closet and grabbed her snow boots, pulled on her jacket, ignored the dancing and growling dog and burst from the door.

Mia leapt off the porch into the fall snow as her germen shepherded, Milo, ran out after her barking as loud as he could. Mia laughed and kicked some of the fresh snow at him and he jumped back growling a little. Though there was hardly any snow on the ground Mia still had enough to make Milo jump. Mia chuckled and started down her long country drive deciding to walk all the way to the end of it and then back. Living in the middle of nowhere was wonderful and a curse. If it snowed to much then Mia and her family couldn't get into town and if it was simply all rainy they'd have to use the truck cause it'd get to muddy.

Mia watched as Milo rushed down the long drive that lead to the two-lane country road on one end and her large white house at the other. Milo barked and ran after something Mia could not see. Mia sighed and ran after him for the fun of it. She did a cartwheel and almost landed on her face a she heard thunder over her head. Thunder? That was not very common. Mia looked up to the sky and saw dancing lights, all shades and colors, like those pretty colors you saw over Alaska or something. But in Texas? That wasn't natural. The thunder got worse and Mia began to fear for lightning. "Milo!" She called. The germen shepherded stopped and spun bouncing back to her, eager to please her.

Mia kept one eye on the sky's as she turned, starting to head back to the house when Milo finally reached her. Mia went to take one last glance at the strange sky when the world around her suddenly was light with a bright light, forcing Mia to throw her arms over her face and cry out, grabbing Milo and holding onto his collar as the light got brighter. There was a strange feeling of being lifted into the air for a moment as Mia fell to her knees and clung to Milo who had his paws on her shoulders and dug his nails into them painfully, but Mia didn't complain she was sure she was gripping his fur tighter than he liked.

When the light finally faded and the flying feeling was done, Milo still clung to her a little, but after a second he stood up right and began to growl.

Mia wasn't sure if she wanted to look around or not but when she finally did, she looked up and saw what she really did not expect. The room was shiny and shimmering all gold. When Mia turned she saw a she was not only in a large gold room, but she was in the middle of what seemed to be a kind of feast or something, because there was a long table covered with food and the people sitting there were all staring at her. Milo had his hackles up, teeth bared and his eats were flat to his head.

One man, near the head of the table stood slowly, his eyes fixed on Mia. His hair was blond and long, he had a small beard on his face and his eyes were a deep blue. He worse a kind of fine armor that shined and gleamed here and there and he had a hammer tied to his belt.

"You! Who are and how did you get here?" he demanded, pointing a firm finger at Mia which made Milo bark and snap his gnaws at the man making it clear to the man that if he took another step he'd no longer have that finger.

"I honestly have no idea, dude." Mia said shaking her head as she looked around "I don't even know where here is." she said taking a small step back, Milo taking this opportunity to step between her and the man, still growling.

The man looked to all of the others at the table. A man who had been sitting on his right, his hair dark, he wore no real armor, but it was mostly leather with some metal here and there and flashes of green. The dark haired man kept close to the blond one as well as kept his eyes on Mia and Milo.

"Then answer who you are." the blond man said.

"And where you are from." the dark haired man added.

Mia took a deep breath "Mia Brook. This is my dog Milo." Mia said looking at Milo as he kept his protective stance between her and the men. "We were in Texas a moment ago but I'm beginning to doubt that's where we are now." Mia said giving another look around the room.

"Is that Midgard?" the dark haired man asked.

Mia gave him a strange look "No its earth." she said, looking him over. Mia started to think then. Earth. This really didn't look like earth, it kind of did look other worldly Milo was still standing protectively in front of her, his growling lesser now but his stance was still firm. Mia began to wonder if the fog knew they weren't on their planet any more or if it just knew, its master needed protection.

"You are on Asgard, the realm of the gods." The blond man said walking towards Mia, not getting to close because the closer he got he louder Milo growled. "I am Thor Odinson." He said formally.

Mia had to fight back a loud laugh. Thor. That was just funny to her. An alien named Thor who thought he was a god. HA! It was hilarious to Mia. Mia didn't know much about Norse mythology but she knew that Thor was a god and he was the god of thunder or something like Zeus. However, the more that Mia looked around the hall, the more she took in the scenery and the more she looked at the weird people the more she began to feel strange and kind of light headed. Before she knew it, darkness had taken her over and she heard Milo bark and snap at something as she fell towards the floor.
