Chapter 3

"Okay but not here let's go somewhere quite maybe our secret place?" Lila asked. Loki nodded his head and they both left to go to their secret place. When they reached their secret place they both sat down and Lila pulled open the napkin she had used for a bag. "See big brother! I gotta lotta stuff! Some sweet rolls and some pastries!" She split the horde of goodies down the middle. Both siblings began to eat the sweet rolls and the pastries. Loki finished his shortly after she did, "Now little sister what will we do?" She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. "I dunno big brother." Loki smiled, "Watch! I can make this uhh bun disappear in three seconds. Now turn around and count to three!" Loki quickly ate the bun and he wiped his mouth. She turned around and gasped, "Brother! It's gone!" She grinned. Frigga found her babies in their secret place. She laughed to herself, "Hello my dearies. What are you doing?" She asked knowing already she just wanted to hear it from her younger children. "Nothing Mumma." Loki lied. "Loki Odinson and Lila Odindaughter, you are not allowed to have any sweets for one entire week. And Loki, you know better than to lie to me young man." Frigga said. Loki hung his head, "I'm sorry mumma." He said sadly as tears streamed down his cheeks. When Frigga sees that her baby boy was crying she knelt down and opened her arms, "Come here Loki." She said. He ran to his mother and he through his arms around his mother and he cries into her chest. Seeing her favorite big brother crying broke her little heart and she ran to her mother and big brother. Frigga wrapped an arm around her upset and crying daughter. When Loki hears his little sister is crying he also wraps an arm around her and they all stayed like that until a servant came and told them that lunch is ready.

Frigga came over to her daughter, "Lila, it's time for you to get some sleep. Your brothers and their friends can come back and see you later." She said. Come my brother and my friends I am getting bored standing here so let us go on an adventure together." Thor said. Lila couldn't believe that her oldest brother would go on an adventure without her. She only hoped that her favorite older brother Loki wouldn't want to go without her. Lila knew that she would be left out, but she hoped otherwise. To her great joy she heard Loki say, "I won't leave her here alone." He said. "Awe come on brother join us. Lila won't mind will you sister?" Thor asked. Lila opened her mouth to say something when Loki stepped in, "I believe Lila would like to go with us. She has not experienced one of our adventures and the stories we all know do no justice." He said smoothly. Frigga shook her head, Lila my daughter. It is unbefitting for a lady of your title to be carousing and running about with your brothers." She said firmly. "But…but Mother, it's not fair." Lila whines. Frigga gave her daughter a look that meant it was final. Lila knew better than to argue with her mother, so she begrudgingly said her goodbyes and then took a step back to stand with her mother. Frigga waved to her sons and her sons' friends and also said goodbye then turned to face the girl beside her, "Now my sweet it is time for bed. A princess needs her sleep."

Lila sighed. She was a big girl! She could take care of herself! Mother was too controlling. Lila huffed, "You never let me have any fun." She mumbled under her breath. "What did you say young lady?" Frigga asked. Lila sighed, "Nothing mother." She said. Frigga just let out a deep sigh why is it that her two younger children always seem to lie to her. She would ask her daughter again and if she lies again she would have to be punished for lying. "Don't lie to me Lila, now tell me what you said." Frigga asked. "You never let me have any fun." Lila said hoping that her mother wouldn't be mad at her. "Lila, we have talked about lying and talking behind my back." She said. Frigga sighed. This child and her brother would be the death of her someday. Or maybe she would become grey a few hundred years before her time. Frigga watched her daughter go about getting ready for bed. As Lila crawled into the healing room's private room's lavender sheets her mother came over and kissed her forehead, "Someday my dear you shall become a brave princess. But adventuring is far too dangerous for my little girl. Lila gave a sad nod and she rolled over on her tummy to sleep. "I love you Lila, I just want to keep you safe." Frigga said, but Lila didn't say anything for she didn't want to talk to her mother. Frigga just sighed and left. Lila heard the door close and she started crying.

After while Lila felt sleep pull her in and she closed her eyes. The day's activities fully hitting her making her so tired. Loki slipped into her private room with his own bag packed. He set it down and ran up to her, "Lila!" He whispered to her. Loki poked her gently, "Lila, I've come to get you little sister." Lila swatted his hand away and she tried to sleep again. So Lila woke up and she rolled over, "Loki, go back to bed it's late." She mumbled. "Lila, you and I are going to have our own adventure tomorrow after breakfast. Come on little sister, get up for I want you to have a great adventure. For I don't think it is right for you to miss out just because you are a princess." Loki said as he pulled on his little sister's arm. Lila woke up suddenly when she heard her big brother say that he was taking her own adventure against their mother's wishes. "Loki, mother said that I am not allowed to go on an adventure." Lila said

"Lila, it's not fair or right for mother to say that you can't come with us just could you are a girl and a princess. Doesn't mother know that Sif is training to become a warrior so you are going on your first adventure and I don't care if I get punished for taking you as long as you have fun with me. For I like spending time with you my sweet little sister." Loki said. Lila rolled to face him, "What do I take Loki?" He sighed, "Take two of your riding dresses, wear your riding boots, and take a few rolls and some dried meat. We will give you a skin of water for your saddle in the morrow. Lila nodded and yawned, "Brother is it exciting and all but, I am tried. Now go away and I will see you in the morning!" She said rubbing her eyes. Loki chuckled watching his sister before giving her a hug good bye and then went off to his own room. Lila rolled back over and promptly fell back asleep. In the morning she packed the things needed then headed to go to breakfast.

Lila walked into the breakfast hall and she heard her parents talking about her. She began to wonder why her parents are talking about her. Then Lila heard her father say, "Lila, should spend more time with her brothers and I think she should go on adventures with her brothers." Odin said. "Odin, princess don't go on adventures." Frigga said. Lila smiled and she knew that her father would talk her mother into letting her go with Loki on the adventure this morning and she walked to the breakfast hall. Lila found her family eating their breakfast when Loki saw his sister walk in and he ran to her, "Lila, I think everything is going to be alright. I told Thor and he told father. I think father is going to allow you to come with us and no one will get in trouble." He said. Both sibling gave each other a hug and then they walked over to the breakfast table and Lila went over to her father and she gave him a big hug, "Good morning father." She said and she kissed his cheek. "Good morning, Lila, your brother Thor, told me that you would like to go with him and Loki on an adventure. I'm I right my daughter?" Odin asked. "Oh yes, Father please may I go. Oh please father." Lila begged and then she looked at her mother hoping that she would change her mind and agree with her father. Frigga just sighed and she nodded then Lila ran over and hugged her mother, "Thank you, thank you so much mother." She said happily. "You are welcome my daughter and I want you to stay close to your brothers and please be safe Lila." Frigga said and then she looked at her sons, "Thor, Loki, I want you both to look after your little sister." She said.

"Yes mother." The brothers said together. They all finished their breakfast and Loki grab his sister's hand and they both went to get their bags while Thor stayed to talk to his parents, "Now Thor, you are the oldest and I want you to look after your brother and sister." Odin said. "Yes, Father, I will." Thor said. Loki and Lila ran back to see what is taking Thor so long to come. They saw Thor leaving the breakfast hall the two younger siblings ran over to their older brother, "Thor, there you are big brother are you ready to go." Loki asked as Lila excitedly jumping around. She practically ran to the royal stables where the horses were and she ran up to her mare Kelda. Lila grabbed onto her saddle horn but, you couldn't pull herself up. She started to become frustrated and she began to cry. Seeing how upset his little sister is Loki stepped to her side and he helped her mount her mare. Then he mounts she stallion Calder and Thor mounts his stallion Haldor. The siblings rode off to their great adventure.
