I realized I wasn't alone in the room.

"Thor… What are you doing here? You know father forbade it after your last visit here." I crossed my arms and glared at him. "I can't come visit my little sis? Aww you make me sad Rosey!" I cringed at his pet name for me. "You need to leave, Thor. Father, no, Laufey cannot catch you here. Who knows what that'll do to the hard work we have done here!"

"Hard work? Hard work? How dare you even think these monsters want peace! All they want is the destruction of every world." Thor grabbed my wrist and pushed me against the wall. Oh, great this again. "Thor release me this instant. PLEASE!" He held me so tightly that I was in pain. "Thor please!" "Shut up." He then placed his hand over my mouth silencing me.

"Guards please allow me to speak to the daughter of Odin. I have some things I would like to discuss with her. I promise that no harm will come to her." It was Laufey! The guards politely told him that I was not currently in the room, engaged somewhere else. I tried everything to let him know that I was indeed there. "Well then I shall wait in the sitting room until she returns."

Thor then moved us into the bedroom out of the sight of the king. Now seeing my chance, I focused everything I had in me to getting Thor off me. What resulted was a huge blast of pure energy right into the ground and into Thor. The God of Thunder took the blow well enough, it still knocked him out cold. The blast itself informed Laufey that I was indeed in the room and that I had needed to defend myself. He knocked on the door. "Are you alright in there Princess?"

"Yes, I am fine now. You may come in if that is your intention. Please also, inform the guards to come and take my brother home and they are relieved from duty." The guards came in, and grabbed my brother, looking at me with regret at what they had allowed to happen.

"If it pleases you, my dear, I would like to post Jotun guards to watch over you. It would make me feel better knowing that there is someone who will not be deterred from their duty." He looked at me with worry in his eyes. "I wanted to speak with you about what has happened today." Oh great. "Do not worry young one, I am not upset or afraid of your power. Quite the opposite, actually. I wanted to tell you personally that you will be welcome here. We are a people of all magics, though some are less common than others. The fact that you have a power connected specifically to your emotions makes your control a lot harder to understand, but easier to release when in danger. Tell me though, how did you calm yourself so quickly? It has only been about 20 minutes since I last saw you."

"I have your son to thank for that. Although I'm afraid that with this, incident, I am no longer as calm as I was."

"My son?" He looked, puzzled at that statement. "Yes, he allowed me to focus my magic through him for it to be released in a calm wave. It created flowers…" The last statement more of a happy thought to myself rather than a topic to discuss with the king. "That explains the flowers in Loki's hair when I last saw him!" Laufey laughed full heartedly that the thought. "It is great to see him in such great spirits though. You seem to have lifted his soul from its darkness with your actions today. For that I thank you." He got up, bowing to me before he left. "Oh, before I forget, in that wardrobe, there is clothing I think you will be happy with. I will have guards posted as soon as possible." He left with that and a wink.

I went to the bathing rooms first, wishing to wash the day away and that lingering feeling of Thor attacking me again. I must tell father about my brother's indiscretion the next time we are alone. With my bath drawn, I sink into my lavender water and start to relax. The air around me swirls and breezes about the room as my magic was released and at peace. When I was finished, I allowed the wind in the room to dry me and my hair faster than it normally would. Walking to the wardrobe, I pulled out the clothing that Laufey had told me that I would like, and was amazed at what I saw. It was a pair of black, leather pants with what appeared to be a skirt attached to the back of it, making it look like a dress from behind, but pants from the front. With it was a conservative corset top, making it look more like a dress than pants and a shirt. That man really has a sense of style. When did this even get here?

I was escorted the dining hall by the new guards Laufey had placed watch over me. I got a lot of looks from passersby my coffee brown hair pulled back into a braid, surrounding my head, a veil tied into the bottom near my neck and connected to the tiara I wore. I didn't need the fabric to shield me for any particular reason. It was really so I could have some privacy for my emotions. People don't tend to pry into someone who openly hides. Walking into the hall, I was greeted with the most amazing sight.

There was so much food! Roast meats, crisp vegetables, huge sweets, all in humungous portions fit for the frost giants. It was mostly the sweets that caught my eye though, and Loki seemed to notice this. He dismissed the guards around me and escorted me himself to my seat. "Wait here, I'll get you a plate."

When he returned, he had a plate full of fish and cakes and fruit. "How did you know what I like to eat Loki?" I took a fork and smiled slightly. "Well, I payed attention. You were mostly eyeing the sweets and fruit, and less towards the red meat. So, I assumed you weren't much of a meat eater, thus the fish. I'm glad I was right." He took his seat next to me and we began to eat. I saw his plate was much similar to mine, minus the sweets. "I hope you don't find me too forward about it, but why do you wear a veil when you are in public?"

"It's my way of hiding my emotion. As you saw, my magic is controlled by my emotions, so the easiest way to control my magics. Think of it as, I can't see you, you can't see me. Do you understand?"

"I seem to. It makes sense." He took a careful bite. "So, what did my father want to talk to you about? Also, why did you have Jotun guards? I thought your father wanted only Asgardians around you. You know, to protect your, innocence?" He looked confused.

"Hahaha!" I was in tears over the look on his face. "My original guards allowed my abusive brother into my chambers. Your father came in shortly after I dealt with him, and offered his own guard to protect me. I'm pretty sure he told them that they only answer to me now." I looked at the prince sheepishly after my joke. "Knowing him, he probably did. My father wants this peace treaty to work. We are sick of the bloodshed and animosity. We need to have a way to trade and survive and to make a name for ourselves again that distances us from our past violence. Although I don't agree with the way it's happening, I'm willing to do anything for my people. Even if it means I lose my freedom to choose."

"I completely agree with you. I'm not happy about being married so early in my life, but I'm willing to if it means this pointless war ends. My brother would rather wipe this world off the map, that's why my father has not made him king. He would rather have a Jotun on the throne than my adoptive brother."


Hey everyone! Just so you all know, Thor is going to be a major bad guy. The reason why is I have some major hate towards the guy because I had a boyfriend that looked exactly like him that wasn't the best guy ever. So no hate towards Chris Hemsworth, just my no good ex! Please reveiw and follow this wild ride! Keep that fire a burning guys!
