Loki's pov

The colourful hue of the sky sparkled above, the setting sun casting long shadows across the streets. I let out a breath in the crisp evening air
While I was walking, I heard footsteps slamming against the stone street. I turned around to see a woman who had a hood over her gave and a bundle of blankets in her arms. She stared at me for about a minute before running off down a narrower street.
"Hey! Wait!" I called, running down the darkened street however she hsd disappeared around the corner with a flutter of the cloak she wore. I puffed out another breath, creating a white cloud into the air. I was about to turn back when my foot collided with something. I looked down to find the bundle of blankets that the woman had been carrying. It started to wriggle about after the tip of my boot hit it. I raised an eyebrow but picked up the thrashing ball of blankets. Slowly unraveling the blankets, I was surprised to see a baby, skin half blue and glittering like frost on cobwebs after a cold morning. The infant opened its eyes a sparkling Ruby and deep ice blue staring up at me with wonder. It reached out a blue skinned hand to reach me and just barely brushed my nose. I shuddered slightly at the contact because of how cold it was.
"You're freezing" I muttered, feeling her skin with one hand. She looked up at me with a confused look, tilting her eyes head to the side. It was with this action that I spotted a small bit of blood trickling down the side of her head.
"Oh no. You're hurt" I muttered, pulling her close. I looked around to see if the woman -who I guessed was the mother- had returned for her child. She had not. I looked back down at her. She had buried her face into my clothes as if trying to warm herself up. I let a smile tug at my lips, turning in the direction of the Palace. When I got back to the Palace, I noticed that the blue on her skin began to slowly reside until it reached the edges of her skin, wavering there before finally disappearing. I was dumbfounded by this but its not like I could get an answer from the child, she looked barely even a week old. Whole walking through the sparkling halls, I ran into someone a lot taller than myself. I looked up at who I ran into. Thor.
"Loki? What are you holding?" he asked in a booming voice, making a show of his gesture towards the infant that I held in my arms.
"Keep your voice down. If Odin catches me with her then I'll be dead" I hissed, pulling the small child closer to my chest. Thor looked over his shoulder momentarily before his gaze fell onto the bundle in my arms
"What is it?" he asked, his voice a lot quieter this time. I maneuvered her slightly so that Thor could see her. She turned her head sleepily, looking up at him with slightly glazed eyes. Thor looked at her then up to me.
"Where did you find her?" he asked, reaching out his hsnr which she stuck in her toothless mouth.
"I found her in the streets. I think she was dropped on her head because she's bleeding" I explained, wiping some of the fresh blood off of her head. Thor was about to speak, his mouth open but it wasn't his voice.
"What are the two of you doing?" the voice boomed. Thor turned around, his hand breaking away from her which resulted in a very frantic and upset look from her. I panicked since if she started to cry then game over, Odin would know.
"Thor, what are you hiding?" he asked, trying to look past him although Thor leaned into his way every time.
"Thor!" Odin yelled, slamming his foot to asssurt more authority. That did it. She started to give a small weak cry, her heads hurried into my chest which muffled her cries however it didn't stop Odin hearing them.
"Is that a child?" he asked, looking down at her. I gave a sheepish smile, holding her close. Odin walked over and looked down at her.
"Please don't hurt her. She hasn't done anything wrong and she's hurt" I begged, feeling very attached to this child even if it wasn't mine. Odin took one more look at the child then sighed.
"If she stays then you will have to take full responsibility for her" he explained.
"I will. I'll make sure she is raised well" I explained.
"Are you going to name her?" Thor asked. I looked down at her. "Hmmmm....... Eir. Eir, the goddess of peace" I decided. Eir looked up at me, giving a toothless smile.

Eir's pov

I sat in the hallway while I waited for the bell to alert all students that the break was over. A cold wind blew from a window and came in contact with my skin. I felt a shiver run up my spine and looked at my hand which was turning blue.
"Hey, look at this. Its the little Asgardian princess" someone sneered. I looked up to see a brown haired girl with her arms crossed.

"Why is she turning blue?" one of her friend with black hair asked.
"I don't know. Maybe she'll tell us if we beat her up" the brunette smirked.
"I don't want to fight. Please" I whimpered, hiding my face with my hair. She laughed at my plee before kicking me into the wall. I quickly changed into a kitten and hid in a small gap behind the lockers. I heard a lot of noise but stayed hidden. When a shadow fell over me, I curled up tighter.
"Hey, it's alright. I'm......... A friend" someone comforted. I crawled out from the little space and sat down, turning back to normal although I was still half blue. I looked at who was in front of me. She hard long, silky black hair just like dad and the same icy blue eyes that I had. She reached her left hand out to touch my right hand. Her left side turned blue while the eye turned red. My eyes sparkled.
"You're like me" I whispered.
"I'm Aries" she introduced.
"I'm Eir Lokisdotter. Or Lokisson. I don't really mind" I replied.
"I've heard of you. You're the granddaughter of Odin" Aries explained. I nodded.
"Nice to meet you" she smiled. I took her hand and shook it with a smile.
"Nice to meet you too" I replied.

I know that Aries is a Greek god and a male, not a norse god or femae but there is a valid reason that I choose the name and I changed the gender for some more liberty with the story(Also in the comics Thor has a female counterpart and Loki frequently switches his) Hope that clears things up

Update: I recently was notified of the family names in norse mythology which I had a quick google of. So I've changed the spelling just so that it makes sense.
