Hey guys.

I apologize for switching these chapters around twice now, but I had this idea that I could write for some events before the happenings of Thor and then I figured that probably wasn't as interesting so I am just jumping right into the movie. Things always sound so good in my head and I see things happening and then I start writing and it just doesn't work for me.

Please feel free to rate, review and even PM me if you have anything you'd like to say.

Thanks!

Lanaya remembered the day she had been brought to Asgard. She remembered how much she hated being taken from her home, how hard it was to adapt to everything. Being a native of Alfheim, she had to relocate to Asgard when she began developing powers, like the gods of that realm. She made friends easily there, as hard as it was to be away from home, and through time, she gained an unshakeable ally. After growing up with Odin's sons and being proclaimed the goddess of peace, she eventually Loki's hand in marriage. Happiness last for a time, while the nine realms were at peace. The day soon cam e that Thor was to be crowned, and the delicate balance of peace would soon be tipped to create chaos in the nine realms of Yggdrasil.

Lanaya knew Loki was planning something for this day. It was obvious to see, or at least, for her it was. She saw how easy it was for people to believe that it was the Jotun's who broke into the weapon's vault. She would not be fooled so easily. She knew her husband was up to his tricks. Usually they were harmless, but now, he was taking something away from Thor that would take time for him to get back. She knew Thor had an ego and had a lot yet to learn, but it wasn't Loki's choice.

She shook her head as a crash sounded from the room ahead of her. She looked over at her husband, letting out a sigh.

"You should talk to him."
"I should?"
"You caused it."

Loki turned to her, coming to a halt beside her. She looked at him sternly.

"You're blaming me?"

She just smiled, stepping closer to him.

"You are clever Loki, but I see right through your supposes innocence."

He smirked at her, letting out a small sigh.

"I suppose I shall speak with him."

She shook her head with a small smile as he walked ahead of her to reach his brother in the next room. She waited a moment before walking in the room after him, keeping a distance from the pair of them as Loki spoke to Thor quietly. She was soon joined by Sif and the warriors.

"Redecorating, are we?" Sif asked sarcastically.
"What's this?"

They watched Volstagg pick up some of the food from the ground near the flipped table as Loki and Thor spoke to one another.

"No, I know that look-"
"It's the only way to ensure the safety of our borders."

Their attention was grabbed by the brothers as Thor got to his feet.

"It's madness." Loki said.
"What sort of madness?" Volstagg asked.
"We're going to Jotunheim."

Lanaya let out a sigh as their friends tried talking Thor out of his idea. She wished Loki would say something, anything to convince his brother it was a bad idea. Loki could do it, if anyone could. Still, he remained silent as Thor gave his friends excuses to go.

"My friends, trust me now when I say we have to do this. You're not going to let me and my brother take all of the glory, are you?"
"What?"

Lanaya looked to Loki as he looked up at Thor, a hopeful look on his face.

"You are coming with me, aren't you?" Thor asked, his smile turning to a frown quickly.
"Yes of course." Loki said with a smile as he got to his feet. "I wouldn't let my brother march into Jotunheim alone."

The warriors agreed to go with them, Sif agreeing afterwards. They left the room to prepare themselves as Thor and Loki walked to the other door. Lanaya let out a sigh as they passed her, her mind racing through the possibilities of what was to come. And she had every right to worry.

When they got to Jotunheim, they searched for the giants. It was quiet, and cold. Lanaya gripped her swords as they walked across the snowy land. They found a temple made of ice easily and heard a voice grumble from the top as they approached.

"You've come a long way to die Asgardians."

Lanaya knew exactly who the man was. She saw it immediately. The shape of his face, his eyes, everything. She stared at him, not daring to look over at her husband as they listened to Thor argue with the king.

"Do not dishonor my father's name with your lies!"
"Your father is a murderer and a thief!" Laufey replied, getting to his feet.

Lanaya glanced over at the Jotuns that circled around them, all of them prepared for a fight.

"Thor, stop and think. Look around you, we're outnumbered."

Lanaya was surprised that Thor listened to his brother's warning. He finally turned away to leave as the vanguard in front of him whispered an insult. She closed her eyes with a sigh, taking the small second to prepare herself as Thor threw his hammer at the Jotun.

"Next?" he said proudly.

The group began fighting off the giants that closed in on them. Lanaya and Loki stayed close to each other, working off each other's powers to keep the Jotuns at bay. As the fight went on, they heard a howl of pain and looked to see that Volstagg had been touched by one of the giants.

"Don't let them touch you!"

Loki reached out to kill a Jotun that charged towards him, only to be grabbed by it. The cold touch caused his armor to break apart and his skin to change, but it was a different kind of change. Lanaya could see it in his eyes after the giant fell dead to the ground. He watched his skin return to it's normal color before looking up at her. She simply turned away, thrusting her sword into the stomach of a giant as it ran towards her. She knew she'd hear about the strange happening later on.

It didn't take much longer for one of their own to get hurt, and they all knew they needed to get out of the giants' world. They ran as Thor continued to fight off dozens of Jotuns at a time. After a large monster was summoned to fight them, Thor flew to them, killing the beast instantly with his hammer. They were surrounded, their backs to the edge of the cliff they stood on as the Jotuns closed in. The skies lightened for a moment as the Allfather joined them, coming face to face with Laufey.

"You look weary." the Jotun said with a small smirk.
"These are the actions of a boy. Treat them as such. You and I can end this here and now."
"He'll get what he came for."
"So be it." Odin replied as he pulled everyone back through the bifrost, landing them safely in Asgard again.

Lanaya knew the Allfather would be upset, but she didn't expect Thor to fight his father the way he did. She watched silently, as she should, next to Loki as they watched him be stripped of his power.

"I cast you out!"

Lanaya was surprised that Odin went to the drastic measures that he did, but she also understood it. Thor had to learn if he was to be king. The silence in the room after Thor was gone and the bifrost closed was maddening. Loki looked to his father before Odin turned away. He dropped his gaze down to the floor, clearly unsure of what to do at that point. Lanaya simply put her hand on his shoulder and gave him a sympathetic look when he raised his eyes to meet hers.

It was going to be a long day.
