The planet Domino is under attack by three witches. They're looking for power, power enough to take over the entire magical dimension, and destroy anyone who opposes them. They're looking for the Dragon Flame. And...they've found it.
The oldest princess, Daphne, cursed to be without her body by them, is carrying a small bundle in her arms while running, or rather floating, away from the three witches. They look like three old hag-like women, with long stringy gray hair and wrinkly pointed faces, but each of them are very powerful on their own.
Belladonna, with her ice-cold heart and magic to match.
Lysslis, as quick to strike as a viper, and the most manipulative creature Daphne's ever known - no wonder Valtor turned out the way he did, if they're his 'mothers.'
Tharma, with her short temper and penchant for conjuring natural disasters in the form of the weather out of petty spite.
Together they are more than a match for almost everyone they face.
But Daphne's not almost everyone, she is the former holder of the Dragon Flame - the most powerful source of magic in the whole galaxy, and the reason the three witches are attacking Domino. They want the Dragon Flame, and will do anything to get it.
But, Daphne will do anything to protect it and the bundle in her arms, her year-old baby sister, Bloom. The baby princess means more to Daphne than anything else in the whole galaxy, including the source of power that is the baby girl's destiny. Bloom, the second princess of Domino, is the next holder of the Dragon Flame. And it's already inside her, Daphne transferred it to her when the witches arrived and now is doing the only thing she can to protect her baby sister. Still, just because she doesn't have it doesn't mean she lost her own connection to it, even if its not even half as strong as when it was hidden away in her own body - she'll fight the Witches to the death if that's what it takes, but not before getting her baby sister away from them.
She's sending Bloom to another planet in another galaxy, somewhere far away from the Ancestral Witches and their evil. She casts a barrier spell to slow the witches down and teleports to another room down the corridor.
The castle's crumbling and there is mass panic as the Three Ancestral Witches make their all-out assault, with a wizard that they literally made from a piece of the Dragon Flame that mixed with the original darkness. They called this wizard Valtor, and he's keeping the king and queen busy while the witches go after the princesses. Daphne knows that spell won't hold them back forever, not when they've been trained by Darkar himself - the Shadow Phoenix, the counterpart to the Great Dragon and the embodiment of evil itself.
Daphne looks at her baby sister for maybe the last time, silently praying to the Dragon that this isn't the end for Bloom and she grows up happy and healthy. The baby princess is wearing a dark blue outfit with her name in bright orange on the front, her hair orange as a flame and bright cyan eyes. And she's wearing a necklace made to help her control her magic, keep her from accidentally doing something like burning a room down from a nightmare - its a family heirloom, Daphne wore it when she was growing up as well and Bloom got it when she was born. And their mother before Daphne, and so on - nobody even knows who made it, or when. The necklace is made of a dark orange tinged metal, about the size of the palm of her hand, it has an engraving of a dragon breathing fire, and at the center is a gem like liquid fire, as bright orange as Bloom's hair. On the back of the necklace is a symbol, glowing orange; it is the source of the necklace's power, it means "control". Daphne has the sick feeling that its going to be all Bloom has of her heritage, her birth family.
She begins the spell to send Bloom out of harm's way and the witches' grasp or knowledge. Daphne points her index finger at the ground and fire follows where her finger moves, she traces out a circle of fire around her baby sister and then symbols for where she is leaving and where she is going to end up.
Great Dragon, she's just so glad she paid attention in her classes.
The first half of them describe where she is now, the second half describe where she is going. Daphne is almost finished with the spell, but the witches arrive before she can add the final symbol, the one that means the planet Earth. Without it, the spell will put her at the biggest source of magical power in that galaxy, though to Daphne's knowledge that would still be on Earth somewhere if not Tir Nan Og itself. The spell can take her away from the destruction and chaos, so Daphne activates it and holds the witches off while it works. Bloom disappears, the only proof she was even there, or the spell was done, is a circle surrounded by symbols, which if you don't know what they mean look like nonsense, burnt into the floor.
Understandably, and much to Daphne's satisfaction, the Witches are beyond furious.
Odin Allfather and Queen Frigga arrive at the Bifrost with their two sons, the single most powerful object in the Nine realms. Something completely unexpected has happened: a baby girl, one Heimdall has never seen before, suddenly appeared in a circle of dying flames, surrounded by mysterious burning symbols inside the magical bridge!
The baby girl has fiery orange hair, and cyan eyes, in a blue outfit, with a pendant on a chain at her feet. She's also crying and squirming in Heimdall's arms, who's awkwardly holding her while he waits for the royal family.
For all his gifts...Heimdall's never been one for children.
That's the scene the four of them walk in on, Heimdall awkwardly adjusting a little girl in his arms, who's crying and calling for a 'Daph'ee' to come back while the armored man tries not to freak out or put her down and go back to his job and risk her falling off the bridge because she can walk.
Loki can feel something in the little girl as soon as he sees her, though he has no idea what; all he knows is that she's no ordinary baby girl. Something fiery, and very strong - she has magic, he's sure of it.
He quickly takes her from Heimdall while Odin and Thor demand to know who she is and where she came from, and makes a handful of illusory sparkles to take her attention.
Good news, it works - she stops crying, staring up at him with bloodshot blue eyes that remind him of little gems. Intelligent blue eyes, at that.
Frigga comes over, and hums, saying "Seems she's taken to you, Loki. And she likes magic, to. What should we call her, do you think?"
"Bloom, mother. Its stitched into her clothes."
Frigga softly asks "Is that your name? Bloom?"
The baby girl, Bloom, doesn't speak another word, but falls asleep - after being handed off to Frigga and wrapping her arms around the woman's neck.
They eventually decide to raise her - after she screams everyone's ears off and every lit fire goes ballistic whenever anyone but Loki tries to take her from Frigga, even a servant or guard and even when she's apparently sleeping - and because they have no clue where she came from or what the symbols mean, they don't tell her about the fact that she's adopted. Blood-adopted, as it so happens - there's a spell Frigga knows that will add an Asgardian Heritage to her, make her half-Asgardian, half…whatever else she is.
Because Loki and Frigga are positive she's no ordinary mortal like those on Midgard.
AN: Alright, so, you know how I said I'd leave up 'Bloom in Asgard' and just post the re-write? Well, here's the first chapter! I meant to post this yesterday, but got caught up in birthday stuff.
Enjoy! Classes start again on Monday, but that leaves time for some writing! Yay! Please review!
