Darkness. The only word I can use to describe the days following my father's descent into the unknown ...
The troubling thing is I know he is alive. I see him in my dreams tortured by an unknown dark figure.
I tell no one.
"KIA!"
I blink the sleep from my eyes and I stand stretching my arms. For some reason the esteemed lady Sief has made it her mission to train me. I leave my study to get changed. I stare at the figure in the mirror thin pale..I turn from the mirror covering it with a wave of my hand.
Magic ....comes easily to me but physical combat?
"KIA!"
The door opens and there she is the lady herself. My face becomes emotionless as I change my clothing to armor.
"Well at least you've learned"..she says before leaving my bedroom turning to lead me away to the training grounds. I follow her guards at my back left and right ...it's something the allfather insists on ...finally we make it to the training grounds and she pulls out her sword.
"Fight!" She says I pull out my sword and take a battle stance. She lunges and I dodge turning my feet in a circle to evade her attack.
"Fight!" She yells once more and slowly her attacks become more intense.
My feet move naturally in a circle evading and avoiding making any attack slowly my arms grow tired and I switch hands in the distance I hear one of the other warriors say "that's enough!" I back away and I lower my sword prepared to slide it back into the sheath when I feel something sharp strike my face. I turn raising my sword and suddenly I feel power leave me Sief is thrown back in a spark of purple light hitting the wall with great force.
My sword clatters to the ground. The guards circle me coming closer ...another flash of purple light and I'm back in my room.
My hands clench and unclench. I walk over to my door and begin to wave enchantments and protections...I fall to my knees and run a hand down my face.

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................The door blasts off its hinges...armored men enter the room and grab my arms the coolness of the iron manacles almost wakes me...
I do not fight.
What would be the point of that?
Light penetrates the throne room and I blink into it my eyes protesting the sudden change of light...
I hear nothing his mouth is moving but I hear no sound...
Shake...someone is shaking me...with a roar sound returns to my ears.
SPEAK!
I blink as my eyes rise to look at the man who was once my grandfather.
I finally hear the question
"Did you attack lady Sief?"
My voice is raspy when I speak
No.
She's lying! Another voice stronger claims.
"It is simple" one of the council members say
"banish her!" "banish her!"
"Cast her out!" "Leave her to the frost giants!" "banish her!" "banish her!"
"Cast her out!" "Leave her to the frost giants!"
"banish her!" "banish her!"
"Cast her out!" "Leave her to the frost giants!" "banish her!" "banish her!"
"Cast her out!" "Leave her to the frost giants!"
"Silence!"
The all fathers voice rings out louder then the rest.
He raises his hand. Then he says
"Did you attack lady Sief?"
I lift my head my emerald eyes boar into his but before I speak he lowers his hand.
"Kia Fria ...Lokison you are herby banished from Asgard you may only return if my son Thor allows it when he ascends the throne" he lowers his hand turning to
"As a mercy you will be allowed to keep your magic who taught you ..." then he turns and walks away.
Lady Sief "now you may mark her" guards grab my arms and hold me as she comes forward.
She smiles.
Then she leaves and returns with a torch. She smirks and says "this is for what he did!"
The torch touches my hair burning it eventually penetrating to my scalp the guards drop me to the ground as I crouch on the polished stone floor ....my head touches the floor feeling the coolness...I press my head into the floor trying to cool myself off ...eventually guards come forward to take me away ...they deposit me into my bedroom the manacles come off.
"I can only give you five minutes" he says as I slowly get to my feet. I turn looking at the face of my personal guard.
"Thank you...Gerald" he bows his head before stepping away as I turn to my room.
"Anything you can't take will remain here I will make sure of it"
I turn to him and nod before I rush to ready myself.
Five minutes later I'm standing on the rainbow bridge with Hiemdall he puts a hand on my shoulder.
"You are clever ...just like your father ...you will survive" he says softly. I turn to look at him before throwing my arms around him.
"It will be alright princess" he says softly. The only one to call me that.
I step away and he says
"I will place you somewhere you will find friends."
"Friends?" My voice rings out over the sound of the roaring.
"Yes..." I turn and enter the portal circle.
"Farewell princess ...I am certain you will return to Asgard"
