Hey everyone! I'm back with another story. I was inspired with this after seeing Thor: The Dark World when it came out and started working on this. I know the next Avengers movie is coming out next summer and I'm super excited for it. And I know obviously there will be differences of what will happen in the next movie and my fanfic but hey, fanfics are creative outlets for the authors. (grins) So anyway, I hope you enjoy this new story of mine!

-Chapter One-

"Saia."

Saia blinked and looked around at her surroundings of evergreen trees and snow and the clear sky full of stars above that she knew so well. But what she didn't know was the voice that was calling her name.

"Saia."

"Hello?" she called out to the female voice calling her name again as it seemed to echo from seemingly all around her.

"Saia." This time it seemed to be echoing from directly behind her.

Turning around to find no one there, she gave another blink still confused. Then suddenly, a bunch of pale, bluish-white orbs appeared before turning into a woman's form with reddish-blonde hair pulled into a pony tail that was pulled forward over her left shoulder, pale skin, and dark brown eyes. She was dressed in a simple but elegant brown dress as well. The woman gave a soft smile before speaking again, her voice still giving a slight echo.

"Hello Saia."

"Uh who are you?" Saia asked confused. "How do you know my name?"

"I'm Frigga from Asgard," the woman replied.

"Asgard?" Saia blinked confused recalling reading bunches of myths and legends from various cultures around the world when she was younger. "As in the Norse myths Asgard?"

"Correct." Frigga gave another soft smile. "And I came to let you know that there will be one from Asgard coming here. I want you to find him and take care of him."

"Wait what?" Saia asked thoroughly confused. "What do you mean another is coming? When?"

"When the aurora and lightning touch the earth," Frigga replied, her voice starting to echo as she started to turn transparent again and dissolve into the little bluish-white orbs once more. "You will know what to do." Then with a last smile, she turned completely into the orbs before they swirled and floated up towards the sky again and faded.

"Wait!" Saia called out as everything faded and turned black.

Suddenly, green eyes snapped open staring into the darkness around them. "Ugh. What a dream," Saia groaned and looked to her alarm clock reading almost eight in the morning. She gave a sigh before getting up and around, glancing out at the darkened, Alaska morning sky of winter. She'd had weird dreams before but none like this.

"Hey Aeden," she said as she came out of her room and her grey, black, and white Alaskan Malamute greeted her. Her dog gave a doggie grin as she nuzzled her nose into her open palm and petted her before heading down the hall, past her living room where her other five dogs were all curled up, to the kitchen.

Grabbing the container holding their food as they all came in swarming around her, she grabbed each of their bowls and filled them up and set them down for them. "Geez you guys," she chuckled as they chomped down on their food. "You act like you don't get fed."

Shaking her head with a chuckle, she went about getting herself some food. Afterward, she grabbed her laptop and as she recalled her dream, she looked up the old Norse myths again out of curiosity. 'What am I doing?' she thought to herself as she shook her head again after having read a bit to refresh her memory of who all they were again. It had just been a dream. The queen of Asgard certainly hadn't come to visit her. It was just a dream.

Giving another sigh, she got up and got dressed before going about her usual day, gathering up wood to chop as well as make into figurines that she sold in town and online amongst other hobbies she did. Then later in the day, she got her dogs together and hooked them up to her sled and headed towards town to bring some of her finished figurines to the store where she sold them, as well as gather a few supplies and groceries she needed.

Upon returning back to her house on the far outskirts of town, she gave a sigh at the clear, dark sky filled with stars and the moon being just a little less than full. For the beginning of December, it was amazingly clear out tonight, albeit colder because of no clouds. But it was nice to see the aurora swirling in beautiful colors as usual.

Suddenly, something caught her eye in the sky and she turned to look what it was. She furrowed her brow as what seemed to be a swirl of clouds and lightning appeared off in the sky over the trees into the wilderness some couple of miles away at least. The lightning flickered again as the clouds swirled and then came down towards the ground, much like tornadoes she'd seen in pictures except they stayed stationary over the area they had appeared. The lightning flickered all the way down the strange cloud and seemingly pulled what appeared to be the aurora down with it to the ground getting lost behind the dark silhouette of trees for a moment before it swirled and came back up to the area in the sky it had formed from and disappeared like it had never been there.

'What in hell?' she thought thoroughly confused. It was then the dream from that morning came to her with Frigga's voice speaking about someone coming when the lightning and aurora touch the earth. 'There's no freaking way...'

Quickly gathering up her supplies off her sled and putting them in her garage and putting her food in the freezer, she jumped back onto her sled and directed the dogs in the direction that the strange cloud had come down. She had no idea what she'd expect as she wound her way through the trees as fast and carefully as she could. It took just over a half hour before she reached an open area in the trees where the snow had been blown back away from the ground in a large circle. Inside it was a dark figure laying on the ground.

Getting the dogs to stop near the edge of the blown back snow drifts, she took her flashlight and made her way slowly and cautiously towards the dark figure. She looked to the strange pattern on the ground around the figure confused before stopping next to the figure and tilted her head as she looked to them with their eyes closed and pale skin laying there and realized it was a man.

Pulling off her glove, she put two fingers to his neck to find a steady pulse but cold skin. He appeared to be completely unconscious as she gave a slight shake to his shoulder but he didn't move. 'Geez he's freezing,' she thought as she gave him a once over seeing he only had on what appeared to be a black, green, and gold coat that didn't look very warm. 'He must be crazy to be out in this cold with that outfit.'

Giving a curious look up at the sky that still remained clear before back down at the guy unconscious, she gave a sigh and sat him up best she could and half slung him over her shoulders with a little difficulty. She was glad that she was strong for her smaller size, given she did a lot of wood chopping and worked out some, though he was still a tad heavy and she could only half drag him to her sled. She carefully got him onto her sled and jumped on the back and ushered her dogs back towards home as quickly as possible. He needed to get warmed up quickly lest he get hypothermia, if he already hadn't begun to get it given the time it took to get to him.

Finally reaching home and getting into the garage, she quickly unhooked her dogs and ushered them towards the door as she grabbed the man and half dragged him leaning over her shoulders again into her house and down the hall to the one spare bedroom she had and got him laying on the bed. He was still unconscious as she pulled off his boots and coat, revealing a plain black shirt underneath with his black pants. She pulled the blankets back and got him under them though he was still freezing cold.

"Looks like I'm going to have to do that to get him warmed up," she muttered to herself as she took his boots back to the front door, locked her door, and hung up the coat. She called her dogs to the kitchen and fed them before grabbing something quick for herself to eat before going to change into her pajamas and back to the room where she'd left the guy. He was still unconscious and pale, his medium length black hair splayed out on the pillow around his head.

Going over to the other side of the bed as her dogs followed her into the room, she got under the covers and moved right up next to the guy and put her arm around his torso so she was up next to him. Her body heat would help warm him up slowly since it wasn't a good idea to try to get him warmed up too quickly lest his blood had thickened up from hypothermia setting in.

Hearing her dogs settle down on the floor around her in the darkness, she looked to the guy in the darkness beside her before closing her eyes and tried to get some sleep hoping she'd get some answers in the morning of who he was.

Well that's the first chapter. Hope you enjoyed. Looks like Saia's in for some interesting times ahead. I'll try to update when I can! (smiles) And again, any reviews and comments are wonderful! Thank you!
