Author's note – Hello my lovely readers! I hope you're having a fantastic week and that summer is treating you kind and that you have not melted like I have. I am currently an intelligent (this is debatable) pile of goo with extraordinary typing skills.

Even under the ever watchful eye of Faradei the wizards had succeeded in making Liya afraid of her own shadow. They would think to the child all of the destruction she could eventually do. The images of her family strewn about in pieces because of her power. Alfheim, Vanaheim, and Asgard destroyed and the very foundations rubble. They referred her to as Ragnarok. After many moons of tormenting the poor child they offered a solution to the potential devastation.
"Princess," they cooed, "if you let us bind your powers, strip them from you, all the Nine Realms would be safe as well as you dear Amaliya," their smiles were so wide and fictional. They wanted to strip her powers to gain them for their own deeds.
"I think that's enough for one day," Faradei glared at the pair.
"Of course Captain," they bowed low to him before backing out of the room.
The Elf went to Liya concern dripping off of him, "My Princess," he said softly. He paused just in front of her, the look of fear glued to her face alarmed him.
Faradei backed away from her, they were doing something to her but he didn't know what. A secret spell or using her telepathy against her. The Captain pulled Aylward to watch over her again with strict orders not to let the wizards in. He made his way to the throne room. Alesa was meeting with a few of her subjects. She saw Faradei enter with worry stretched across her face. The Queen turned to one of her advisors asking them to finish with her subjects. She ushered Faradei into her chamber.
"What happened, is she…"
"I am uncertain my Queen. They have said nothing out loud that I can hear other than her lessons. I fear they are communicating with her telepathically," he said but his accusation was unfounded. He looked at Alesa pleading with her, "These lessons are leaving her in fear of herself. She will not go into the gardens and she refuses to venture into the forest to see Olvir."
Alesa thought for a moment, she told Odin and Arkyn that the wizards would help her grow but if they are afraid of her, even after she told them that this child was meant for great things…she shook her head solemnly. The Queen lifted her head to Faradei, "The only other person that could help her is gone. Saga was the only one that knew how to handle the abilities now growing inside Amaliya. I can put a stop to the lessons, however I am afraid that the damage may already be done. I will contact Frigga and see if she can possibly help or to send Loki back with her. I will also contact her father, perhaps enough time has passed that she can go home."
Faradei nodded, "Yes my Queen. Is there anything that you would have me do?"
The Elven Queen looked at her most faithful guard, "Do not leave her side, I will stop Pallan and Moren for the time being until I have heard from either Vanaheim or Asgard."
Heimdall did something he rarely did, left his post to venture to the palace. He had seen what happened to his Princess. He needed to inform Odin even though Alesa would be sending someone through soon. He promised Arkyn and Andrei to keep her safe, he would indeed fulfill this promise in any way he could.
Heimdall approached the throne room, he knelt before Odin, "My King," he said kneeling his right fist hitting his chest over his heart.
"Heimdall," Odin said somewhat surprised.
He bowed his head slightly, "Queen Alesa will be sending her Captain of the Guard to Asgard concerning Amaliya. She believes that the wizards in her council she trusted to teach the Princess how to handle her abilities are scaring the child out of using them."
"And what have you seen?"
"Nothing good of those that call themselves wizards. Alesa has already put Faradei in the lessons with them to protect the child. She is not safe there in their care."
"Will she be contacting Arkyn as well?"
The Keeper of the Bifrost nodded, "Sending her second in command to speak with the Princess' father."
"Why have you come Heimdall?"
"I have come to humbly ask to take the Princess back to Asgard. The glamour they have used has hidden her well and she is capable of continuing the magic." He looked at the Allfather, "If Amaliya is afraid of her powers and refuses to use them it could be disastrous and without a proper teacher…" he stopped.
Odin nodded, "I will take council with Arkyn he may want his only daughter to return home. There has been no more unrest on Jotunheim about her death. She should be able to return."
"Yes my King," Heimdall bowed his head once more before returning to his post there would be visitors soon.
"Father," a small voice called from the edge of the hall.
"Thor," Odin greeted his oldest.
"Is Amaliya coming home?"
"That is yet to be seen," the Allfather gave a small smile, "Tell your mother that Faradei from Alfheim will be arriving shortly."
Thor nodded putting his arm around Loki. His brother had been distraught ever since their return to Asgard. Thor was going to ask Odin if Loki could return to Alfheim to be with Liya, but Heimdall interrupted his advancement into the throne room. The eldest Odinson hoped that she would be able to return to Vanaheim if not Asgard. They could protect her better than on Alfheim and Loki needed to be with Liya.
"Come Brother," he said softly, "Let us get Mother."
Author's note - Along with being a somewhat intelligent pile of goo, I have been experiencing a lot of blocks when coming to writing. I am working on the next chapter but it might not be up next week, just a head's up. Thank you all again for reading my story, love you guys! I'd love to hear from you!
