Loki's POV
My idiot brother is becoming king today, not if I can help it. I love Thor but he is to stubborn to be given the thrown now. Surely father must see that, maybe fresh air might help, I will go to the gardens to clear my head, there is never anyone out there.
As I walk into the gardens I hear a sound, something magical.
" Who's there?" I called about to the noise. A woman comes out from behind some flowers, she is a servant, I think.
" Spying on the prince, are you now?" I tease.
" I apologize, my Lord, I was coming for some fresh air."
" What is your name, girl?"
" Elizabeth, my Lord," she replied bowing her head. The woman looks different from the other day woman. She is smaller, with blond hair and green eyes.
" Please call me Loki, no need for fancy names if we are to become friends, hmm?"
The girl stayed silent, " please tell me something about yourself?" Curious of what she is to say, I sit down and she stays standing.
Elizabeth's POV
The prince is asking me a question? Why me a simple servant girl? But I reply with honesty, after all he is a prince.
" I am 1024 years old, I have lived in Asgard my whole life, at least I think so. I do not know who my parents are, but I hope to know at one point." I finish and he stares curious, I wonder what he is thinking right now.
"Elizabeth can you hear me speaking to you?"
Loki, how are you doing this? Why can I hear you?
"I thought I saw magic in you. My dear, you posses great capability of magic powers. With my mother's help you could become a powerful sorceress"
Could this be true? Do I trust the god of mischief?
But I am just a servant girl? Your mother must have more worthy candidates, then myself.
" Nonsense, you must. I'm sure mother will see greatly of you and your potential skills."
If you insist, my lord I am sworn to obey you at all costs.
" what did I say about my name?"
I'm sorry, Loki. It will take some getting use to.
     " I will have your name be removed as a servant, you are now an apprentice"
     I can't believe this is happening, I've never dreamed such a day would come
     " Come lets get you changed and find you a room; will you be willing to stand with me at my brother's coronation."
     I would be honored too.
     I am then lead to a bedroom where I am striped of my rags, I call clothes and put into blue and gold dress. My hair is put in a long braid and a dust a makeup is added to my eyes and cheeks.
     " You look wonderful, darling," I hear a women's voice say. I think turn around to see the queen herself!
      " thank you my queen," I say as I bow. What will she think of Loki's actions?
      " Loki tells me you have potential in magic, I sense he is right. You have magic surging through your veins, child. Tell me, what is your name?"
      Elizabeth, my queen, and thank you for the most gracious complement.
      " It is time to go my child, Thor just got back home a few moments ago from a brutal battle. I'm sure Loki will be in here soon, I hope you enjoy your room. Loki has picked a wonderful apprentice for him and myself to work with.
    Frigga then leaves the room to see Thor, Loki comes in moments later.
    " I see you have gotten the chance to meet my mother," Loki says walking over to me.
     " Yes she is a very beautiful and kind women, you are lucky to have such a wonderful mother."
     " Are you ready to go, my darling?" I simply nod and Loki takes my arm and links it with his and we head to the main throne room where we are introduced.
     " Loki Prince of Asgard and Lady Elizabeth Adair," a man announced loudly we walked down a red carpet people bowing on each side and we made it to the thrown where Odin sat. Loki and I both bowed and went to go stand by Frigga. Thor walks in making a huge entrance holding Mjolnir up in the air gleaming with pride and smiling at his friends.
     "Oh, please," I hear Lady Sif say playfully at her friend, although everyone is the crowd is grinning, the Allfather doesn't look to pleased with his son's behavior. Thor reaches the foot of the steps to the throne and sets down his hammer and kneels as the crowd dies down. Odin bangs his staff, Gungnir, and the crowd kneels.
    "Gungnir. Its aim is true, it power strong. With it I have defended Asgard and the lives of the innocent across the Nine Realms since the time of the Great Beginning. And though the day has come for a new King to wield his own weapon -- that duty remains the same. Thor Odinson, my heir, my first-born." Odin continues and I can see Loki looks odd I can't really read his expressions, "So long entrusted with this mighty hammer, Mjolnir. Forged in the heart of a dying star, from the sacred metal of Uru. Only one may lift it. Only one is worthy. Who wields this hammer commands the lightning and the storm. Its power has no equal -- as a weapon, to destroy, or as a tool, to build. It is a fit companion for a King."
  As Thor performs his swearing in I sense something that I hadn't sensed since I was a little girl before the frost Giants tried to take Asgard when I was 2.
          There are frost Giants in the vault
