Author's Note: This story is not about if Jack was related to Loki and Thor, but of Loki and Thor's sister who turned into Jack's fellow winter spirit, Aurora. Sorry if that throws some people off, but I just got this idea and had to write it down.

The two princes of Asgard follow their father down the golden halls of the palace to the birthing rooms. They wait outside the door, fidgeting with excitement, as the All Father went inside. For what seems like hours, but was only minutes, they wait until their father comes out, his face lit up with a smile.
Their excitement and curiosity was barely held back as they walk up to the bed holding a disheveled Queen Frigga. In her arms was a swaddled bundle. Green and blue eyes look down in awe at the newest addition to the royal family.
"Come meet your baby sister," Frigga invites them, watching in amusement as they suddenly rush over to the bed. The baby girl opens her eyes as they approach, seeing her family for the first time. Her eyes flittered from green to blue to violet like a never ending kaleidoscope.
"What is her name?" Thor asks, glancing between his parents.
Odin answers proudly, "Aurora Borealis." Thor smiles down at his sister, making her smile. Unknown to Thor, Loki was making weird faces from over his shoulder, making Aurora giggle.
Frigga looks on as her husband and their young sons fawn over the little princess. She couldn't help but think that her little daughter was going to be more than a little spoiled.
The first few years of the princesses' life were calm enough until the girl turned five. It was then she discovered her powers over the wind and ice. It was also then when Loki and Thor took her under their wings, Loki teaching her magic and mischief while Thor taught her battle skills and how to handle weapons.
While her brothers were teaching her, Aurora's parents were worrying about her. A lot of Asgardians were suspicious of the princess because of her powers and her shyness to everyone that wasn't her family. They thought she was in league with the Jutonns, even if they won't dare to admit it out loud.
The only things that were easing her parents' worry were her determination to please both of her brothers, but even that worried them sometimes, and her fondness of Heimdallr, who they knew would never do anything against the throne.
I look up at my brother with wide eyes while he looks down at me with mischievous green ones. "Are you sure this is a good idea? Father will punish us when he founds out," I say in a small voice.
Loki smiles reassuringly. "Of course, it'll help you control your powers. Plus, we get to cause a little mischief." Shaking my head, I let the wind fly me down the hall, coating it in a thin layer of ice. Zooming back to Loki, we hide and wait.
Before long, we hear the booming voices of Thor and his friends. Peering out from my hiding place, I see them approach, completely unaware of the ice. Despite Loki's protests, I warned Sif beforehand so she wasn't here today.
Fandral was the first one to slip, closely followed by Volstagg, Hugan, and Thor. They sprawl across the hall and they keep on slipping when they try to get up. Cover my mouth with my hands, I let out a little giggle. Knowing I couldn't last much longer, I turn and fly down the hall towards the training area.
Sif was waiting for me, with her arms crossed. Skidding to a halt, I smile sheepishly up at her. She shakes her head and starts to instruct me on some basic defense moves with a sword. I listen intently to every word she says. I know it was a stroke of kindness for her to offer to help me with my weapons and I try my hardest to please her so she would keep on helping.
It was also nice having someone to talk to that wasn't my brothers.
The first ten minutes of the lessons went fine, even learned some new moves, but then one of the Odin's soldiers appear. He clears his throat and Sif and I break apart. "The All Father requests Princess Aurora's presence," he states.
Sighing, I sheath my sword and bow to Sif. She smirks but returns the gesture and I follow the soldier into the palace.
He leaves me at the doors to the throne room. Taking a deep breathe, I push my snow white hair behind my shoulders before striding inside.
The All Father sits on his throne, looking as serious as always, and standing next to the throne was an amused looking Thor and his annoyed looking friends. I hear the door open behind me and a smirking Loki appears beside me. Both of us kneel before Odin.
"Stand," Odin states and both of us rise. Continuing, he says, "I have been informed that you covered a whole hall with ice. Is this true?"
Not wanting to chance it, I answer in a small voice, "Yes, Father." Loki echoes.
Odin sighs lightly, "Everyone but Loki and Aurora leave." Thor's friends look like they want to protest but they nod their heads and leave, shooting glares at us. Thor laughs as he passes and ruffles my hair and I huff in annoyance.
Once everyone left, Odin starts to speak. "As punishments for your actions, both of you are ordered to stay in your rooms for a month, unless I say so otherwise, and neither of you can practice your magic for that period of time."
"Yes Father," we say in unison. I stare down at my feet and bite my lip. Even if I was getting better, I still couldn't control my powers completely, especially if I don't practice for a while.
He clears his throat, drawing my attention back to him. "Since I know you have trouble controlling your powers, Aurora, I have something that will help you. It is in your room, which I expect you to return to now."
After dismissing us, we head into the hall and walk to our rooms in silence. We stop in front of Loki's chambers first and we say our goodbyes before I head to mine. After securely closing the door, I rush to the bed, which held a long package on it.
Sitting cross-legged, I lift the lid off the box and pull the short staff out of the box. It was made out of a silvery metal with a gold tip. As soon as my hand touches the metal, it covers in a thin layer of ice and I instantly feel cooler.
Smiling, I push the packaging off the bed and pick up a book and start reading. It is going to be a long month.
