Author's Note: Throughout this story I'll be giving snippets of flashbacks to when they were children and inside the dream world.

Flashback I

Cara smiled as the raven haired boy blinked, staring at her as she appeared before him like a ghost within a dream. She couldn't believe she had found someone while she was dream walking. Her bright eyes were round with fascination. Loki had been sleeping, then he started dreaming and now this impish girl was standing before him.

"Uh, hello!" Cara giggled as the boy stood resolute in the darkened chambers.

"Who are you?" The boy finally asked as his brow furrowed in confusion. "I'm Cara of Cian." She stated happily as she placed her hands behind her back, rocking back and forth on her warrior sandals. She wore a silk garb that stated royalty. Though young, Loki was perceptive and he noticed the the most minor of details, including the pink highlights in her white blonde hair.

"I am Loki of Asgard." He stated and for a moment he raised his chin in a haughty way and Cara glanced at his attire. He was definitely a noble boy.

Asgard? I'm far from my realm

"How are you here?" The boy asked after a beat, but this time confusion turned to frustration as the girl before him thought nothing of being inside his dream. If anything she was excited and happy, something that reminded him too much of Thor. She looked around as if someone might be listening before leaning in to whisper,"I can dream walk." The boy flushed at her proximity to him, but kept a steady gaze on the imaginary girl.

She was all in his head. He was dreaming and when he awoke she wouldn't be there anymore. He was sure of it.

"Do you want to be friends?" Cara asked sheepishly, an aura of magic dripping off of her that Loki could not put his finger on, but it pulled him in for a reaosn he could not comprehend. "Friends?" Loki asked and a look of innocence and sadness crossed his features that Cara found heartbreaking.

"Yes, silly. Friends. Don't you have any on Asgard?" Cara asked as she stepped closer to Loki to get a better look at him. Loki noted the way she gazed at him and it made him uncomfortable. "Not really, no." Loki mumbled with a tint of red taking over his cheeks. Cara tsked and held out her hand, "Well, congratulations you now have a friend."

Loki stared at her hand until he took it with hesitation dripping from his eyes. Cara noted how his eyes were a brilliant shade of green which was a stark contrast to his smooth white skin and raven black hair. They shook hands and Cara took notice of how cool his skin was against her warm aura. He felt like a cool breeze in the Winter time. Something inexpiable happened as she felt a thrust of power surge from their locked hands and even Loki took a small step back. He had felt it too.

There was an awkward moment of silence before Cara looked around his dream, "What were you doing in your dream?" It was a crypt like area, possibly a dungeon. Loki stared at her for a beat before eyeing the dungeon hallway and the fires that burned along the wall, "Looking for something, but I'm not exactly sure what."

"Well, maybe we can look for it together?" Cara implied with an optimistic smile that Loki wasn't used to. Loki shrugged and together Cara and Loki walked along the hall where she started to learn about the Norse God from Asgard. From that moment on Cara visited Loki in his dreams often. The friendship, though innocent enough, was dangerous due to Cara using her abilities. They didn't know better though.

They were only children.

And it was only later that Cara would realize the surge of power between them had been her abilities linking them together for all of eternity.
