I smiled at myself as I brushed my brown hair, letting it fall perfectly straight pass my shoulders. All my life, I thought I was just an average girl. That was, until the last day of my senior year. After school ended, I drove to my... haven, you could say. It was this gorgeous place in the woods with a stream, flowing with life. Trees and flowers surrounded it, blocking me from the outside world. I went there to relax almost everyday. I always had a lot on my mind, such as love. I would be there even if it was raining. Something about the thunder made me feel... Safe. As I sat down, droplets of water fell from the sky, like always. Not ever could I see the sun shine in my haven. Why it always rained was a mystery. I took off my backpack and sat down on a tree trunk, getting out my mythology book. Mythology was the only interesting part of my whole highschool experience. I was in chapter 23: Norse mythology. The first name that popped up was 'Thor'. "Yes, yes, yes, I know about Thor..." I said to myself. As I turned the pages away from Thor, a loud boom of thunder roared from out of the sky. I looked up, letting the drops of rain hit my face. The sky got blacker as I stared at it. I thought it was strange, but I didn't mind. I thought it was beautiful. I put my book back in my backpack, not wanting to ruin it. As I looked up one more time, the sky had turned back to a light grey, and the rain died down. "Strange," I whispered to myself. I looked down at the gorgeous, soft, green grass. I placed my hand on top of it, just to feel the blades between my fingers... But I felt something different this time. When my hand touched the earth, I heard every little creature scurrying about in it. Not only that, but I heard every little heartbeat; from a tiny cricket, to a deer, frolicking in the taller blades. I jerked my hand away from the grass, unsure of what had just happened. I no longer felt heartbeats or heard anything except the water rushing through the rocks. I slowly stood up, walking towards the stream. I took a good look at my reflection.. My image had changed greatly. I had more pink in my cheeks and lips, and my eyes were a lighter brown. I touched my reflection with the tip of my finger, and a small ball of water formed in my hand. I jumped back. "This is so strange.." I said to myself, staring at the floating ball of water in my hand.
"It's not strange," a male voice said from behind me, "you're just now discovering your true potential, Sahsa Rhea." I gasped, turning around. The ball of water dematerialized from my hand as I stared at the man before me. "W-who are you? And h-how do you know my name?" I stuttered. He chuckled, pushing back his slick, raven black hair behind his ears. His blue-green eyes met mine, and his lips curved into a sly smile. "Loki of Asgard," he said, "I have always known your name. You are well known in my kingdom." Was this guy crazy?! I felt like we were in Shakespearean times... "Asgard? No. Asgard is a myth. You're not real, I'm just crazy," I said, grabbing my backpack and walking away from the man.
"I am real, and you are not crazy," the man said, appearing in front of me. I gasped again, jumping back. He stepped closer, his eyes turning red and skin turning blue. "W-w-what are you..?" I stuttered.
"Heh. Well, my dear, I'm your worst nightmare."
"LOKI!" a booming voice said from above the clouds. It started pouring rain, and the thunder was non-stop. Loki's skin and eyes turned back to normal as he shook his head. "Oh great," he said. I turned around, running away from Loki. I was scared, and I didn't know what to do. I looked behind me to see if he was following me, but ran into something hard that knocked me down. I quickly looked in front of me, still scared to death. A VERY tall man with blonde hair that reached his shoulders stood before me, staring at Loki. "Brother, you must leave Sasha alone," he said in the same way Loki did.
"What's going on?!" I yelled. The man in front of me looked down and helped me up. His bright blue eyes flickered between Loki and I, then finally settled on me. "I tried to tell her, brother," Loki, who had popped up by this other man, said. Compared to Loki, the man looked like some kind of body builder... Actually, he looked like that even by himself. "I am Thor, King of Asgard," he said.
