Author's note – Hello everyone! So last chapter we had Liya being scared by those wizards. They will be dealt with in this chapter. I have fast forwarded to right before the movie timeline. Also I think I have mentioned it before but I wanted to mention in case I hadn't I have Loki's eyes being green as in the comics.

It was decided after Odin and Arkyn spoke to Alesa that Amaliya would return to Vanaheim, however the wizards needed to be dealt with. The Allfather and the King of Vanaheim followed Alesa to deal with them before more damage could be done. The years they were left with Amaliya even with Faradei present had made her more withdrawn, afraid to use her abilities, and terrified that she would hurt someone.
"Moren," Alesa called, her voice as stern as she could make it, "Pallan."
The wizards slunk around their door to see the Queen closely followed by Odin and Arkyn. They bowed to the visiting royalty but fear was read clearly in their posture. The plan to use the Princess' gifts for their gain was surely found out. They kept their heads bowed and said nothing.
"I have heard some disturbing news when it comes to your teachings of Princess Amaliya," Alesa said. "The Allfather and Amaliya's father would like to speak with you two."
"Yes my Queen," they said following the royals to the throne room.
Odin stood at the base of the throne, tall and severe as he did so. Gungnir firmly in his grasp, "Moren and Pallan, the blue wizards entrusted with the Princess of Vanaheim, you have been accused of treason to the crown of not only Vanaheim but Alfheim and Asgard. How do you plead?"
"We are innocent Allfather," they told Odin not looking up at him.
"Amaliya was thriving before she started lessons with you," Alesa said. "There was a great change in her after her first encounter, however I was too blind in my trust of you to see what was happening. It was only after Faradei came to me with his concerns I kept a closer watch on them." She turned to Odin and Arkyn, "My sincerest apologies Allfather," she lowered her head. Alesa then looked to Arkyn, "I humbly ask for your forgiveness Arkyn, I told you she would be safe here, clearly I was wrong. I then ordered Faradei to stay close to her and he had witnessed the damage that was caused, the light she carried was almost extinguished. I ordered you both to not be afraid of her or her abilities and you disobeyed your Queen."
Pallan looked at Alesa with contempt in his eyes. For the first time he spoke without Moren, "You brought this dangerous child into our midst asking to protect the ruin of the Nine Realms," his voice was deep and rumbled through the throne room, "We needed to protect you and Alfheim," he glared.
"Enough," Arkyn bellowed, "My daughter will not be the ruin of anything wizard, she is love personified. She is strong and will continue to grow stronger for the benefit of all the Nine Realms. If she was not meant to be I would not have her," the King crossed his arms across his chest glaring at the wizards.
"My old friend," Odin started, "they will be dealt with however you see fit."
"I request Allfather they be banished, stripped of their magic, and their memories," Arkyn glared at the wizards.
Odin nodded, "Agreed, they will be henceforth banished to Niflheim to live out the remainder of their days. Their memories of Amaliya and all magic will be erased," he raised Gungnir and hit the bottom of the spear onto the marble floor it echoed through the throne room. Odin turned to Arkyn and nodded.
Amaliya's father being gifted in mind manipulation stalked up to the quaking wizards. His deep grey eyes were almost set aflame and he forcefully invaded their minds ripping away every memory, spell, and skill that they had learned over the last few centuries. Their screams echoed around the throne room. Then the King of Vanaheim pulled away every instance of his daughter between the two of them. The wizards collapsed after Arkyn was finished and then Amaliya's father dropped to the floor. His brow covered in sweat and he was panting, it was painful for the three of them but Arkyn would have done this for any of his children.
Odin helped him off the floor and into the throne behind him. The Elven guard came in and removed the unconscious wizards dragging them towards the Bifrost where they would be sent to Niflheim. Arkyn needed to a moment to recover after inflicting the punishment on the wizards. As a precaution Amaliya had been sent back to Vanaheim earlier that day escorted by Faradei. Loki would be meeting her at the Bifrost location giving them an uninterrupted reunion. Arkyn and her brothers would have their reunion at a later date
Loki was anxiously awaiting her return pacing until he saw the bridge coming. The improvement of Loki's spirits since he heard that Amaliya was coming home was infinite. There was a wide grin stuck to his face, the color in his cheeks came back, and the sullen state he had been in faded into a much more jovial mood. The God of Mischief bounced happily on the balls of his feet awaiting the Bifrost. It pounded down and after a few moments of bright light before revealing Liya.
The bright lavender eyes of the Princess widened and welled up with tears seeing Loki waiting for her. She ran to him practically jumping into his arms. Loki wrapped his arms tightly around the petite frame of Liya. He inhaled her perfume and it flooded him with so many memories and holding her in his arms once more felt like home. Faradei smiled before calling the Bifrost to take him back to Alfheim, not wanting to disturb their reunion.
"I have missed you Dove," he whispered to the Princess. His voice had changed, it was deeper and richer than the last time she had spoken to the youngest Odinson.
The Prince set her down looking at her. Her white blonde hair faded to the bright black and her pointed ears disappeared. He saw her as she was meant to be. She had grown into such an extraordinarily beautiful young woman, it shined from the inside out, practically beaming out of her. Her face had slimmed down making it more heart shaped than round, her cheekbones became more defined, her full lips and large eyes no longer looked too big for her. Her figure while slender had curved as she matured. Loki took in every inch of her, including her grass stained bare feet he laughed.
"What," she asked, her voice had softened and it was like she was singing as she giggled.
"A princess shouldn't have grass stains on her feet," he teased.
"I haven't felt the grass at home in so long," she said wiggling her toes in the tall and cool bright green blades, "It's much different than on Alfheim."
Amaliya lifted her head grinning causing Loki to laugh more. She studied him smiling at how he'd grown but still that beautiful and sweet boy she had grown up with. His long face held his handsome features so well, those bright green eyes that glinted of trouble and intelligence. His graceful and poised figure, tall and thin but there was strength in him. He was nimble and clever. His smile lit up his gorgeous face as his eyes met hers.
"Something wrong Dove," he asked confused by the look on her face.
"Not a thing," she told him quietly with a slight smile. Liya moved closer to him kissing him softly, "Take me home Loki."
"Of course Princess," he told her pulling her under his arm.
