The day had finally come, the one that Liya, Loki, and Alesa had dreaded since the beginning. Loki, Thor, her brothers, and Frigga were being called back home. Liya would be at the mercy of Alesa's wizards to help with her burgeoning powers and continue her education. They all tearfully moved to the Bifrost location. The Arkynsons went first hugging and holding their baby sister tightly promising to come back as soon as they could but none of them fought the tears. It would be a few moons before they could come back.

Thor hugged Liya, "Do not fret Sister, we will be reunited before you know it," he gave a reassuring smile.

"Thank you Thor, I will miss you," she told him softly, her voice was a million miles away, "Take care of Loki for me."

"The best of care," Frigga told the Princess holding her close, "Take care of yourself Amaliya and call to Heimdall anytime you need."

Liya held Frigga tighter, "Thank you," more tears fell from the Vanir's eyes.

Frigga kissed her head before handing her to Loki. Both of the children had grown more and more somber as this day approached. They held onto each other for dear life. As much as the Queen of Asgard wanted Loki to stay Odin had called him back. The Allfather needed to be obeyed. The pair seemed to hold one another up.

"I promise," Loki sniffed wiping the tears from Liya's cheeks, "I will return as soon as I can Dove," he tried to smile but if faltered.

Liya nodded, "I know, I will miss you," her breathing hitched as sobs threatened to fall from her mouth. The glamour faded away from her. Liya's emotions were in such turmoil she couldn't keep the simple spell intact.

She and Loki crumpled to the ground both children sobbing. Alesa and Frigga looked at one another with great concern. The light around them seemed to darken, the air became thick and heavy, a melancholy was felt by all those in attendance.

"I love you Liya," Loki whispered trying to stand and pull Amaliya up with him.

"I love you Loki," she answered pushing herself off the ground.

Frigga took Loki under her arm and called to Heimdall. Liya ran into Alesa who cradled the child to her. The Bifrost pounded down around the Queen and her sons taking them back to Asgard. Alesa carried the Princess back to her room for the night, she had been through enough today. The wizards could wait another day.

Alesa closed the door wiping her own tears away. She never expected to become so close to the Princess. It was hard not to. She was so full of life and love, certainly living up to her title as the Goddess of Love. The Queen of Alfheim walked slowly down the hallway and ran into the wizards.

"My Queen," they said in unison.

"Pallan," she greeted, "Moren." She wiped the few remaining tears away from her face.

"Are you well my Queen," Moren questioned.

Alesa nodded, "Our visitors from Asgard and Vanaheim left earlier. It was hard on the Princess, she's currently resting. Would you mind starting her lessons tomorrow instead of today?"

"We thought it best that she start as soon as possible," Pallan stated and Moren nodded.

"I understand," Alesa said, her voice was somewhat firm, "however she just had to say goodbye to her family once more, surely it can wait until morning."

"Yes my Queen," they said letting Alesa pass.

The two wizards watched her walk toward her throne room. They looked back at one another and nodded. They wanted to see just how powerful the little goddess was. It was yet to be determined if they could use her for their advantage or if they would simply bind her powers until she could be useful to them. They walked down the empty corridor, their footsteps made no noise as the approached the Princess' room. It was left unguarded. A twisted smile curled onto their faces, Alesa was too trusting, she should have been much more careful about those in her employ.

"Moren, Pallan," the deep voice of Faradei said from behind the wizards. They startled slightly turning to see the head of the guard returning to his post.

"Faradei," they greeted him.

"I am under orders that Princess Amaliya is not to be disturbed today. Has something changed," he looked at them skeptically.

They shook their heads, long beards brushing the tile floor. They looked at one another before turning back to Faradei, "We just wanted to see if there was anything we could do for the Princess."

"She needs rest," Faradei said sternly. "I will see to it that she receives it, good day to you," he said taking his place outside Liya's door. The wizards nodded silently before leaving. Faradei looked after them as they left. He didn't trust them and he needed to tell Alesa before they spent any real time with the Princess. A guard walked by the hallway, "Alyward," he called. The Elf turned hurrying to Faradei. "Watch over the Princess until I return. I need to have a word with the Queen."

The Captain of the guard hurried to the throne room. He found Alesa leaning to one side, the sadness of this day still affecting her. She looked at the company that had entered her chamber and became alert.

"Faradei," she said anxiously.

"Amaliya is fine, still resting and Alyward is watching her. I need a word my Queen."

She nodded, "Of course," she led him into her private chamber built into a pocket of the throne room.

Faradei looked at Alesa, he trusted her judgement but he did not trust the wizards. "Are you certain that Pallan and Moren would be suitable teachers for the Princess?"

"Did something happen," she asked the anxiety in her voice returned.

"No," the Elf shook his head, "however if I hadn't been returning to my post something might have. I can only speculate my Queen. When I returned Moren and Pallan were attempting to enter her chamber. I told them your orders and they left."

"You're afraid they will try and hurt her," Alesa asked.

"Much worse my Queen," Faradei looked at his Queen bright blue eyes full of concern. "The Princess…"

"I understand Faradei," she crossed to him putting comforting hands on his shoulders. "I will talk with them," she told him. Looking at her captain's face it seemed this was not enough. Alesa thought for a moment, "I will instruct them that you are to be present during their lessons." Relief flooded Faradei, "If you see anything else suspicious please come to me immediately."

"Thank you my Queen," he bowed to her before returning to his post.

"Oh dear, my sweet Princess, the trouble that follows you," she said quietly, her voice quivering. "My hope for you Amaliya is that those troubles will fade from you and you will know peace."
