Well this is chapter two I hope you like it!

Sadly I still don't own Thor because if I did Loki would be in my possession.

While watching the tournament it was hard to ignore Prince Thor's loud outbursts when any of his friends went forth to battle.

Although it was very amusing to watch him try to figure out who to cheer for when two of his friends fought against one another. I couldn't help but notice it was easy for him to decide when it was Lady Sif, granted it was not any of my business to point out but with Prince Loki at the light haired prince's side I didn't have to.

It was when Lord Fandral and Lady Sif were fighting each other that I was grasped by Thor's conversation with Loki once more.

"….another member for your silly group brother, really?

"I could practically hear the eye roll in Loki's words.

"Come now Loki you know as well as I that Fandral has always enjoyed swordplay over archery."

Thor replied defending his idea but Loki would have none of it he immediately came back with his own statement. "Thor adding an archer to your silly group is a risky move and you know it. Fandral is the only archer we know with great ability, we can't just go find an expert archer on the street. Not to mention we would have to trust this person with our lives, someone we barely know. It's a bad idea."

Prince Thor looked crestfallen at the end of Loki's last words. But then his eyes lit up again "What if we have someone who is a good judge of character make sure they are trustworthy. I bet Lady Sif would be perfect for the task!"

Thor said with great vigor in his words, he probably would have stood up in excitement if it wasn't for the lack of space and the amount of people around them. Apparently Prince Thor saw me watching their argument because he turned towards me "What of you servant? Do you agree with my brother or me?"

I felt a look of horror come onto my face.

Why in the All-Father's name would they ask me? I am nothing but a servant?

I felt my face heat up as I start to speak "uh-I –well p-perhaps it would be easier to find an archer that h-has potential to be an e-expert instead." As I finished my stuttered infused rambling, Prince Thor got a thoughtful look upon his face.

"Yes…Yes! That is a fine idea servant! Thank you!" he yelled quite loudly.

I couldn't help but notice the look of disgust on Prince Loki's face, "Thor I would enjoy to continue my life with hearing if you do not mind."

Thor gained an apologetic look soon after his words "Sorry brother," but the smile on Prince Thor's face would not go away. I couldn't believe I had given Prince Thor the idea for his archer.

I swear if the goddess Hel would have came to me and offered me death right then and there, I probably would have had to think much longer before declining.

Finally the tournament was finished with Volstagg as the winner. Prince Thor was quite happy that one of his friends had won; he had leaned over the side of the royal section cheering loudly mead flying out of his mug onto the section below.

Prince Loki however, didn't seem to care much at all he rose from his seat. He looked at me for a moment, before continuing to walk passed me, thus leaving the tournament area. Honestly the way Prince Thor was acting I did not blame him one bit for leaving early.

Later that night a feast was held for Prince Thor's name day, I of course was sucked into being a food server for that as well. I being a food server was bad for many reasons; I am specified for mostly dressing the royals and washing their clothes. While I could be a food server it was not my I did serve for the tournament but that was different I can stand idle by a section to offer mead or other beverages, but to quickly run around other servants as they served drunken men and women food was not something I am accustomed to.

As I was serving food to my specified table I couldn't help but notice that Prince Loki was still absent from the festivities. I honestly could not blame him, I did not even wish to be here and I have to be. But my thoughts were interrupted by a loud announcement.

"Attention! I have an announcement for all who can hear!"

I turned to see Prince Thor standing on the royal feast table, a sight that made all the other servants and I cringe.

"There will be an archer added to my group known as the Warriors Three. If you wish to attempt to join, my brother, Lady Sif and I will be judging your archery skills tomorrow in the royal training area. Thank you my friends! Now enjoy the feast!"

As Thor finished his speech he put his goblet to the air for a toast, all forms of cups were raised to the air and a mighty cheer could be heard for miles. Much to mine and surely the other servants' happiness Queen Frigga yelled at Prince Thor to get off the table, this couldn't have pleased me more.

When the drinking and dancing started I decided to sneak away. I walked down to the servant's quarters, grabbed my archery equipment and went outside into the royal garden.

I went over to the target that Lord Fandral sometimes uses when the Warriors Three spars here with Prince Thor. After making sure I was a decent distance away from the target I drew the bow and began to shoot. I winced at the pitiful first shot I had produced, but I continued to shoot.

I shot the remaining of my arrows towards the target. I was pleased to see that five out of six of my shots were towards the center of the target except for the first one I had shot which was on the outside ring.

I smiled at my accomplishment, but my smile faded as I felt the feeling of being watched.

Scared I turned around to see if I saw anyone but I saw nothing. Taking a breath of relief, I walked forward and removed my arrows from the target.

Not for the first time I thought of becoming an archer, a warrior for Asgard. But there were two problems that stood in my way. The obvious one that women aren't normally thrown into battle and the other one, the fact that I am a servant meaning I could never do as I wish. I only do what others wish of me nothing more, nothing less. Sighing sadly I finished picking up my mess before putting my things back into my room so I could go back to the feast.

But as I went back to the servant's quarters I couldn't shake the feeling of someone had been watching me.

After the feast which lasted into the late hours of the night, the other servants and I started to clean the royal hall.

But not so sadly, as I started to clean Queen Frigga instructed me to go tend to the gardens by the royal training area since the gardener apparently had too much to drink last night. Even though it wasn't my expertise I decided that I would much rather tend to gardens than clean the royal hall after a feast like that.

As I went out to the gardens by the mentioned area, I saw many archery targets placed on the area normally used for swordplay. I also saw the royal princes and also Lady Sif.

"Alright!"

I heard Lady Sif call out "you each have five shots to take followed by another five until we wean out the ones that do not belong. Prince Loki will be behind you judging your shots to tell me his opinion from a close view. Please do not cause us any more trouble than what is necessary for I truly do not feel like taking out scum today, alright?"

I saw the men nod, and Sif smiled "very well," then she turned to my direction "Excuse me servant are you busy?" She called to me, I stood up and walked out of the garden over to her to see what she would have me do. As soon as I found my way over to Lady Sif I curtseyed towards the princes right beside her then I bowed in respect to her

"yes my Lady?"

"Could you please retrieve the arrows from the target for the archers? Just stay by the first man and when he is done shooting take the arrows out of the target, return them, and go on to the next one." I nodded and went down to what she had asked.

The first archer was a larger man with dark hair and dark eyes. He took his stance, a poor one I might add, and shot his five arrows. All landed towards the outside ring except one that was close to the center. I saw the man smile proudly as if he had done great. Not for the first time, I thought of what I would say if I was not a servant.

If I could have I probably would have said something along the lines of please tell me that was your practice round?

But of course I could not say anything of the sort even if I wasn't a servant. I am much to reserved to say such a thing, servant or not.

I went forward and retrieved his arrows and gave them back to him before moving on to the next archer. As I walked away I overheard Lady Sif telling him to go home, thinking back to how proud he was of his shots I almost felt bad for him when I heard her.

I watched about five more archers shoot all of which were much better than the first but none showing much promise. More times than I care to admit I looked back at Prince Loki to see his opinion, and he seemed to have the same thoughts as mine judging from the look upon his face.

Finally we came to the last archer of the seven who had the confidence to show up. He was a shorter man with short unkempt blonde hair and blue eyes. I noticed how handsome he was but when he spoke he ruined his own unspoken charm.

"Hey you simpleton servant are you ready to see true talent?"

I couldn't hold back my retort that was in my head

"T-True talent really? Where? All I see is you, could you move over so I can take a look behind you?"

After I realized I had truly said my remark I covered my hand with my mouth.

The handsome but rude man looked at me with more hate than I thought possible. He looked over towards Prince Loki "are you really going to let your simpleton servant speak to a guest this way?"

I looked back at the prince to see him smiling and not even attempting to hide it. "Well, in her defense she did speak the truth," the prince said unable to hold back a slight chuckle.

Wait, Prince Loki actually laughed? Yes it was a chuckle but still I can't even recall a time when I saw smile as much as he just did let alone chuckle.

The man looked from the prince to me and smiled "alright little maid if you think you are so great then why don't you take my five shots?" He turned away from me and back to the prince beside me "once you see her pathetic shots, and then my own you will be begging me to join."

As the arrogant man finished his ramble I swear I heard the prince mumble something that sounded like "begging? Hardly," I smiled at the prince's supposed words until the man shoved the bow and quiver into my hands. I stared at him for a few moments trying to figure out if he was daft.

"Well…go!" The man said impatiently, I rolled my eyes as he pushed me, but then thoughts burst into my head.

What am I to do? Shoot the way I know I can and be found out or shoot horridly and let this damned man think he's right?

After a few seconds of thought I decided to shoot horridly it's not like they would let me join anyways.

I raised the bow drew the arrow back to my cheek. I was about to shoot but at the last second a thought I wasn't even sure was my own pushed its way into my mind.

'Do you want to be a servant for the rest of your life? If you do then I guess you really are a simpleton!'

That thought at the last minute changed my mind I stepped back and let my previous position go. I heard the man speak

"what little girl are you afraid?"

"hardly…"

I said as I looked at him hoping my face showed courage. I said that one word with the most conviction I have ever heard myself have. I then looked away from him took the position I always use and redrew the bow. I then let the arrow fly and smiled as I saw it actually hit near the center. I continued to shoot until all five arrows were out of the quiver and into the target. I smiled as I saw all the arrows near the center; sadly not one was dead on, but still I take what I can get. Besides I have never even hit a center shot when shooting on my own.

I looked back to see the man in complete shock and Prince Loki barely keeping a straight the man's and my own surprise I walked up to him and shoved the bow into his hands

"c-could a simpleton servant do that?"

I sounded quiet and almost refined but he knew that it was not meant to sound that way. I didn't mean for Prince Loki to hear that as well but he looked at the man still smiling almost verging upon the line of laughter."Well, we are done then?" The man said nothing and the prince nodded "very good in that case we have a decision to make come along Sanna."He called my name as he started to turn around, and I turned to leave as well. As I caught up to Prince Loki's heal I heard the man say

"wait! You haven't seen me shoot yet!"

"That won't be necessary."

The prince said almost darkly without turning around or stopping, I couldn't hide the smirk on my face as he said it.
