Authors Note: HELLO! Back again! Welcome to the next saga of McKenna and Clint. We finally get some answers about McKenna's life and what made her become who she was. Also. I am going to have some one shots coming up! They are in editing process now. Will be up within 2 weeks.
I actually wrote this prologue before any of my other stories. I was going to start with 'Awakening' Originally. But I thought a prequel to clint/mckennas relationship was needed. Anyway. ENJOY and Review! 'Awakening' is only beginning people!
Prologue.
Perched on her windowsill high above the kingdom, a young child stared out into her realm. When she looked away, she watched as her brothers suited up in their armor. With a woeful expression she watched as they were preparing to leave on some new adventure. Least in her mind.
With a mournful sigh, she grabbed the attention of her older brothers.
"I hate this!" Kennalaine pouted, crossing her arms to show her aggravation.
It wasn't fair she was never allowed to go. It seemed like every other minute she watched her older brothers go off to some new place. Though unknown to the small child is they were off to battle with their father, to try for peace with a neighboring realm.
"You are still just a babe young one," Thor, her oldest brother smiled, "Loki and I will not be gone long. Try not to annoy Heimdall to much."
She jumped from the windowsill and ran to her brothers, "I want to come with you!" She pleaded, "I want to help. Please Thor. I've been training." She held out her hand towards him, "Look!" Her eyes glistening with excitement as dust began to swirl on her palm.
Thor gave her a sad smile and knelt in front of her.
"One day you will make us proud my dear Kenna." He replied solemnly closing her hand. "Though today you must stay behind. Besides," He spoke up, " You there are rules against magic in the house." He said with a stern voice.
Kennalaine rolled her eyes and nodded to her other brother behind Thor, "Loki told me to practice whenever I could."
Loki laughed nervously and walked over to the pair, "Only when it's appropriate of course." He placed his hand on Thor's shoulder, "Dear brother. It's not of importance. She can barely hurt a fly."
Thor gave his brother a short look and stood up. "Father has strict rules against that in his house."
"It's only a little magic Thor." Loki Challenged.
Ignoring Loki, Thor grabbed Mjolnir.
"We will not argue." He pointed the hammer towards his sister who hung her head low in shame. "Kennalaine you know you are forbidden to use magic. For once can you do as your told."
She nodded, refusing to look at him. Thor felt his heart break. He placed his hand under her chin and brought her gaze to meet his. Tears had cast down the young childs cheeks.
"My dear Kenna." Thor said with a tenderness not many have seen, "Do you know that the tears that fall from your eyes give us rain."
She wiped her eyes and nodded, "Papa says it's because I let my emotions take over. That it can be a curse. I must control it or people can suffer."
Thor smiled, "No my sweet sister. This is not a curse. You are blessed. You feel so much for one so young. " He kissed her forehead. " You are the daughter of Odin. The blessed one. Do not forget that."
Standing up he looked to Loki who nodded. Signaling for him it was time to leave.
Thor gave his sister a final glance, "We shall return shortly." He promised.
Stepping from Kennalaine he walked passed Loki, "Come brother we are wasting time. Kenna we shall see you upon our return."
Loki watched Thor leave the room and walked up to his sister. He gave her a playful bow, "Your majesty. Until we meet again."
Kennalaine smiled and curtsied. "Dear Prince" Suddenly she bolted and hugged Loki fiercely. Pulling away she took his hands in her own, "Return home dear brother. I shall miss you both greatly."
Loki nodded and squeezed her hands, "Anything for the princess."
Watching her brothers leave gave Kennalaine such sorrow. Her fears of them never returning always plaguing her thoughts. The young princess sighed and went back to her window watching her kingdom, wishing for an amazing adventure to come her way.
