I am so, so very sorry! University has kicked my ass. And when that isn't happening, I'm arguing with Student Aid. Because apparently term can begin in January, but they only need to give me money for tuition...well, when I find that out, I'll let you know! I keep getting reviews though, and I adore every single one of you who are keeping with me, and I PROMISE I won't allow this to happen again!

Frigga watched her sons grow with pride. She often remarked to Odin, as the boys grew bigger, that she was immensely thankful that her children were very obviously individuals, rather than petals of the same flower. Odin would smile at her distractedly, and continue on with whatever he was doing at the time.
Thor grew quickly, to the point that it was obvious he was the son of Odin. Straw coloured hair and bright blue eyes. His chin was always determinedly set, even as a young child. He grew stronger every day, and was always ready to rough house with his father, brother, or any other boy that was in the palace at the time.
Loki was nothing like his brother in appearance nor personality. He was much thinner than Thor, and his midnight hair only accented the green eyes that were filled with curiosity. He was the first to speak, and while Thor was busy playing with toy hammers and swords, Loki would sit quietly beside his mother, and attempt to read tomes that were more than double his weight.
Thor was much quicker to anger than Loki, and far more violent. As children, Thor would throw tantrums when not given his way. Loki was far more gentle, and got along much better with the other children, although he had a habit of teasing them, or pulling pranks and practical jokes. Usually these would be met with laughter, or a light-hearted tussle, for it was well known that Loki was kind-hearted and meant no harm to come to his victims. But Thor would scream and grow terribly angry with his brother, vowing to exact punishment on him, although he would never catch him; Loki was much faster. This would usually end in Loki returning when Thor had tired himself out and apologising.
Frigga saw all the makings of a king in Loki. He was intelligent, kind, patient. But the boys had much growing up to do before becoming men.

Another short, flashback chapter, but I've got more coming. I think I can do three chapters (including this one) in the next week, I've caught up with school work AND cleaning! I love you all!
