Fresh air at last! I felt as if I could finally breathe. I walked a path through the castle garden and admired many strange flora and fauna I had not seen before back on Misr. The elaborate colors were definitely a contrast to what I was used to.

"Ah! Lady Rashida Ra!"

A voice broke my concentration. I looked up and saw the other brother, the eldest, walking towards me. I smiled at him and gave a curt nod.

"Thor, I presume?"

He nodded in reply. Something about him just seemed so bright and innocent. Despite his childlike aura he looked like he could definitely snap me in half.

"May I just say it is an absolute honor to be a part of the bond between our kingdoms, wether I am wed to you or not."

He smiled wider and grasped my tiny hands in his which were much larger then mine and could crush mine in a matter of seconds. But at the same time a friendly warmth came from his hands. Unlike his brother, Thor was warm and inviting. He was the perfect king.

"Thank you. I wish I could say the same but to be perfectly honest I am a little struck by fear."

His cheerful expression fell. He looked at me confused and yet worried and grabbed my hands tighter.

"My Lady, What do you mean? Does someone trouble you? Who shall I take out for you may lady? I will strike down whatever it is that troubles you."

He let go of my hands and lifted his arm to one side. A hammer out of no where fit itself perfectly in his hand. His bright blue eyes looked into mine.

"Now, my lady, What is it that troubles you?"

"It is no one, Thor. Do not worry yourself over me. I am just daunted by the fact that in three days I will be permanently bound to someone I do not know very well."

Thor smiled slightly at me. He threw an arm around my shoulders and pulled me close to him.

"I must worry about you, Princess. If I am to be the one you choose, after all. I give you my word, Lady Rashida, as long as you are bound to Asgard in peace, no harm will come to you. I will protect you. Even if you chose not to Marry me, I will keep you safe."

How could someone be so sweet? Thor looked as if he could take on nations with only his bare hands but at the same here he was, charming me. I couldn't help but smile at the prince. His charm was indeed working on me.

"Thank you Thor. You are too kind."

He chuckled and squeezed me lightly. I felt safe in his arms which was a high contrast to his brother. In Loki's arms I felt exposed. I felt like every single secret of mine was being exposed and unwinded for his pleasure. But Thor felt same and warm.

"Come my lady. You must see the rest of Asgard. And of course the good people of Asgard too."

"I don't know if that's the best idea.."

Thor grinned and locked my arm in his. He strolled off from the palace gardens back to the shimming kingdom.

"Of course it is! Come on now let us go!"

"May I present, Lady Sif and the Warriors Three."

Thor smiled. He had taken me back into the palace to introduce me to some friends of his. I nodded and smiled at the group.

"It is an honor, I am Rashida Ra Of Misr."

I introduced myself with a polite bow. One of the warriors three smiled back at me and took my hand. He kissed it softly.

"I am Fandral. Welcome to Asgard."

He added. He was quite dashing and well, all around charming. He offered me a wink which could not help but flatter me.

"I am Volstagg. Welcome to Asgard, my lady."

Another man of the warriors three offered. I nodded with a smile and he returned the gesture.

The others went on to introduce themselves as well. They were all in all quite a lovely group and I would find them to be friends to me almost as much as they were to Thor.

Thor escorted me to my room for my time visiting. I had enjoyed spending the evening with him and getting to know not only him, but the warriors three and Lady Sif as well.

Thor smiled at me before he left. He kissed my hand gently.

"I must bid you good night, Lady Rashida. I will see you in the morning."

I nodded.

"Yes. I will see you when the sun has risen."
