Authoress Rantings Please Read: Oh Hi everyone, it's me again. I'm posting another chapter, maybe I'll get a review? Let me know what you think of the story so far...

Once again, this is a Loki/OFC fic with the Avengers mixed in. Last Chapter we met Captain America and our OC, Kaleria, was about to tell him her story.

This chapter is her telling the story, so don't be confused that we're suddenly on Asgard. I also, as much as I hate changing the story of our comic characters (yet we are reading fanfics so we must be okay with it), I did change a few things that are not true to the comics or movies... so don't be mad!

Also, Italics is a flash back.

Anyway, enough reading you through this chapter...

Please Read, Review, and above all... Enjoy!

There was no going back now, she could never go back. This was her life now; this was where she would call home. The rainbow city, the beacon and hope to all Asgardian's.

She was traveling from Vanaheim to Asgard by way of the rainbow bridge, the Bifrost. She knew a familiar face would be there to greet her on the other side, yet, she still felt she would not be welcomed.

Standing in the sacred clearing of Vanaheim, the fiery red head stood with a satchel around her shoulder containing her only possessions. She wore armor made from dragon scales and cloth of mythril shards. The strongest material… a material she needed for herself.

To say Kaleria was different would not be too far off. Like many who lived in Vanaheim, Kaleria had magic. This was considered a blessing to any family; a child with natural gifts was always special. However, Kaleria's magic was different; her magic was mainly controlled by emotions. Her negative emotions would cause her hands to burn; the temperature would rise until flames would ignite her hands. If she was not controlled, soon her whole body would ignite. She was dangerous without meaning to be.

In fearing that her magic was out of control; her father made the choice to send her to Asgard in hopes to help her learn to control her magic.

Kaleria felt her heart sink as she began to relive her earlier conversation with the man she called 'Father'.

"Are you coming with me?" Kaleria asked quietly. She was unsure if he even heard her.

He shuffled, uneasy and cautiously, before he spoke. "I think it best you travel alone." Kaleria looked down at her satchel, hearing a deep sigh from the man before her. "Your sister will be waiting for you on the other side."

"Yet you cannot walk me to the clearing?"

"No." He simply said. Abandonment was too light a word for what Kaleria was feeling. "Are you ready, it is getting late in the day?"

Kaleria just nodded, tears stinging her eyes as she placed the satchel around her body. Without looking at the man, she simply muttered. "Farewell Father…"

"They will take care of you there." He justified his actions, not for Kaleria, but for himself.

Without another word, Kaleria left for the clearing, never looking back.

"Is she there?" Sif's brown eyes sparkled as she looked at her hands. "How is she?"

Heimdall chuckled, clutching the sword, the key to the Bifrost, tightly in his grasp. "She is there now, and she is just as nervous as you, Lady Sif."

Sif smiled slightly. "I'm not nervous, Heimdall. I'm excited to see my sister."

"But you are worried of her abilities."

Sif looked out of the corner of her eye to Heimdall. "You truly can see all."

"One does not need the ability of sight to know your concern."

"I just hope she finds peace here."

"She will know peace." Heimdall confirmed. "I am surprised you did not bring the Warriors Three." He commented.

Sif smirked, looking down at the floor. "I don't think my dear sister is ready for such a… lively introduction." Heimdall nodded slightly. "Is it time?"

"She is ready, are you?"

Sif inhaled deeply. "Bring her here."

Kaleria's eyes closed tightly as the crystalized rainbow lights formed around her. Her body began to feel weightless as she ascended the Bifrost.

When her body began to feel heavy again, she exhaled the dying breath in her lungs and opened her eyes to see a familiar face before her.

Sif smiled warmly as she slowly approached her younger sister. "Kaleria."

"Sif." Kaleria returned the smile, though forced.

"It's so good to see you, you look well." Sif was positive, though hesitant.

Kaleria, sensing the hesitation in her sister's voice, sighed slightly. "My skin is cool, you can hug me."

Sif, her smile radiating, quickly moved towards her sister, hugging her tightly. "I've missed you."

"I can tell." Kaleria joked as Sif backed away.

"Welcome to Asgard." Sif's smile was warm and inviting.

Kaleria smiled weakly. "It's good to be here, Sif." She lied.

Heimdall smiled to himself, knowing truly how Kaleria felt. Sif turned to Heimdall and began her introduction. "This is Heimdall, the guardian of the Bifrost."

Kaleria nodded her head as Heimdall spoke softly. "I have heard a great deal of you, Lady Kaleria."

Nervously, Kaleria smiled. "And we all know of you, Heimdall."

Heimdall smiled as Sif spoke. "We should get you settled in, Kali." Hearing her nickname, Kaleria felt a pit form in her stomach. "We have much to do." Hesitantly, Kaleria followed her sister, her heart sinking into her stomach, her will faltering. Kaleria knew she would have a difficult time settling in to her new home, in fact, even the thought of calling this strange place home was enough to make her dizzy.

Kaleria unpacked what little she had as Sif was explaining how great this experience would be for her. Kaleria could hardly focus on anything her sister was saying, catching a few words here and there like "Training.", "Control", and "Home.". Kaleria looked up at her sister, catching her last sentence. "Frigga has wonderful magic, I'm sure she can help you."

"Frigga?" Kaleria questioned. "She has time to train me?"

"Well." Sif said hopeful. "She can help you while your go through training; she probably cannot train you personally. However, there are others who can."

"Others, are they like me?" Kaleria asked.

"They have magic, yes." Sif relied, stepping around the comparison question.

"When do I start my training?"

Sif raised an eyebrow, a smile on her lips as she replied. "You really were not listening to a thing I said."

Kaleria shrugged. "I have a lot on my mind."

"I can see that." Sif replied, moving closer to her sister. "Come with me, there are a few people I want you to meet and there will be lots of mead to calm you."

Kaleria laughed skeptically. "I doubt that."

"You have nothing to be nervous about. You're here now, with me once more. Everything will be fine." Sif shared a reassuring smile with her sister.

Final Thoughts: Short chapter, I know... however, I will make up for it next chapter when I introduce Loki... assuming we get there if people review and tell me what they think... or even just say hi. Thanks again for reading!
