Daughter of Lightning

Opportunity

I was standing still in my bedroom as the maids were fixing my dress. Even though I've been on Asgard for almost a month now, I wasn't used to this whole princess thing.

After getting my dress on, I practiced the lyrics even though I knew the song very well. I was really nervous. I heard a knock on the door.

"In come, I mean, Come in", I said. Loki came into the room. "Hey, Loki".

"Nervous?" Loki asked.

"Yes, very nervous", I said.

"Don't worry. You get it from your father", he said. I laughed. "He was nervous at his big coronation".

"No, I was not", My father said as he stood by the doorway. "Those were not nerves, brother".

"Sure they weren't", Loki said.

"If you had a coronation, how come you're not king?" I asked.

"Ask Loki", Thor said. I looked at Loki.

"I might have crashed his big day".

"Very Mischievous", I said with a smile.

"Don't encourage him", Thor said.

A guard came into the room. "Lilly. It's time", The guard said.

Loki puts a hand on my shoulder. "You can do this", he said. I wrapped my arms around him.

After I hugged my Uncle, I hugged my father. Then, I walked out of the room, following the guard.

I stood in front of everyone. The music began to play.

Under the glow of the very bright lights
I turn my face towards
The warm night skies
And I am not afraid of a thousand eyes
When they're above
Five hundred smiles

Oh, I used to think
(Oh, she used to think)
What wouldn't I give
(What wouldn't she give)
For a moment like this
(A moment like this)
This moment, This gift

And now look at me and
This Opportunity
It's standing in right front of me
But one thing I know
It's only part luck and so
I'm putting on my best show

Under the spotlight
I'm starting my life
Big dreams becoming real tonight
So look at me and this opportunity
You're witnessing my moment
You see

My big Opportunity

Now I fine myself here
And it's time
Cause this is real
This is real and it's Gold mine
I'm not afraid to fly
When it's above five hundred smiles

Oh, I used to think
(Oh, she used to think)
But I wouldn't give
(What wouldn't she give)
For a moment like this
This moment, this gift

And now look at me
And this Opportunity
It's standing right in front of me
But one thing I know
It's only part luck and so
I'm putting my best show

Under the spotlight
I'm starting my life
Big dreams becoming real tonight
So look at me and this Opportunity
You're witnessing my moment
You see

My big Opportunity
I won't waste it
I guarantee

I went to my room where my father, Uncle, Sif and the Warriors three were already waiting for me.

"You were wonderful, Lilly", Loki said as I wrapped my arms around him.

"Thank you", I said. I wrapped my arms around my father. I felt a tap on my shoulder. I let go of my father and turned around. Loki gave me a piece of vanilla cake with buttercream flavored frosting. "Thank you".

"I stole this from the chef. It only took 5 minutes for him to realize that pieces of the cake were missing", Loki said. I chuckled.

After we all ate cake, Thor, Sif and the warriors three felt the room, leaving me and Loki in the room alone. "Thank you for the cake", I said.

"You're welcome", Loki says. "Lilly, maybe you should tell your father".

"I didn't even want to tell you. I'm not telling him and neither are you. You promised", I said.

"I know I did, but you can't keep secrets from your own father. He wants to be apart of your life. He can't if you don't tell him the truth", Loki said.

"Are you on my side?" I asked.

"Don't make me choose, Lilly. You know the answer to that. I have always been on your side from the start. You need to tell your father", Loki said.

"Do you want me to trust you or not?"I asked, crossing my arms. Loki sighs. I don't want to tell my father about my horrible past. It's just too painful.

"Lilly, you need to tell him. No more secrets", Loki said before he leaves my room.
