Loki's POV

The crown glows bright gold when she places it on her head.

"Natalia, do you know what this means?" I ask.

"I'm a princess," She whispers.

"Loki! I'm a princess!" She turns to me.

"You are the Princess of Talahgard," I say, still in shock.

"What now?" She asks.

"I'm really not sure. We reveal that we found you and are the last surviver of this kingdom. You become apart of royalty," I say.

She nods.

"We need to reveal this to the Asgardian Court," I say.

"Yes, of course."

"I will call for a meeting with all high political officials. We will then discuss next steps," I say.

"I'll help," She offers.

Together we tell pull this large meeting together in about a week or so. The maids are setting up the conference room, the messages have been sent, and speeches have been made. One by one the officials arrive. Natalia goes off to get ready and I morph into my kingly attire. I walk into the room and silence falls.

"My fellow governors, I've called upon you to announce something... unexpected. I trust some of you are aware centuries ago there where ten realms instead of nine. The tenth, Talahgard, imploded and was stated to have no survivors. I'm here to tell you that information is wrong. The rightful princess is alive and is here. I am pleased to announce Princess Natalia of Talahgard," I say.

Natalia walks in downed in a gold ball gown and walks next to me.

"King Loki, Asgard was never allies with Talahgard," One of the dignitaries speaks up.

"This is true, but Asgard protects any realms in need of dire assistance and Talahgard is in it's darkest times," I say.

"I have no allegations against Asgard. Nor do I intend to harm it in anyway," Natalia finally speaks up.

"Why should we trust you?!" I hear someone say quiet loudly.

I scan the crowd to see the speaker is no other than Eric Mallheart, Zethera's father.

"I do not want you raising your voice at the princess," I say firmly.

He slinks off and his annoying daughter comes up to us.

"No possibility you're a princess," Zethera states. I was about to step in when Natalia speaks up.

"This crown signifies I am and therefor I am superior to you. If you speak hostile towards me I will not hesitate to use my influence here to get you thrown into the life of a common villager. Also keep in mind I am a rather powerful sorceress. I suggest you leave my presence now," Natalia spit, venom dripping from every word.

Zerthera's eyes go wide and she turns and briskly walks off. Natalia huffs and smooths her skirt.

"You are rather attractive when you are like that," I say.

"Maybe I should keep her around more often then," She say

"No thank you, I would lose my sanity," I say and we laugh quietly.

Many people come and talk to us, mainly Natalia. As the people leave and time goes on I can see Natalia is wearing thin. I walk over.

"I'm afraid the princess has something to attend to, meeting adjured," I say.

The guests file out and Natalia turns to me.

"Thank you. I though I would just wish them away," She says.

"They do like to talk, don't they?"

"I don't know how you do it Loki. Being royal with these people," She says and lets out a deep sigh.

"Come, lets go to bed," I say and lead her to her room.

She goes in and kisses me goodnight. I walk to my room and get ready for bed. I slip in bed and go to sleep happily.

Natalia's POV

I slip out of my stuffy ball gown and slip on a haltered top and a skirt with two slits in the side to allow my legs to move. I tie up my hair and check the mirror.

The past few nights I've been sneaking down to the training center and practicing to fight. I noiselessly slip out of my room and close the door behind me. I stealthily make my way down to the arena and stand in the middle. I use my magic and make a simulation of a few fighters. I can't get hurt but I get good practice. I summon my magic blade and it forms around my hand.

I start to fight my magic simulations. I sink my sword into one, he falls to the ground and another spawns. This will go on until I get hit. I kick, dodge, and deflect any attacks. I see the sun start to rise and I stop the fighters. I make a fist and slowly push my palm to the floor and they dissolve. I make my blade disappear. I go back to my room and morph into a black lace dress. I put my hair into an elegant bun with curled ringlets framing my face. I feel great. I'm used to going nights without sleep.

I sit with a book and wait for something to happen. Loki soon comes through my door.

"Hello love how are you this morning?" He asks me.

"I'm doing well, you?"

"Oh great my dear! I have you!" He says, picks me up and spins me around.

"Someone's in a good mood today," I say with a laugh.

"I don't know why, but I feel great," He says.

"Well, I'm glad. You should be able to be happy," I hug him.

We pull away and his smile suddenly shoots into a terrified expression. He pulls me to the ground with him on top of me and the ground shakes. A huge boom echoes through the castle.

"Stay here love, I don't want you getting hurt," He says and morphs into his armor and rushes out the door.

I can't let him face what ever it is alone. I strap on my armor that I made myself, well magically made. It is very strong but bends and allows me to be flexible. It is a black jump suit with gold armor plating on the fore arm, upper arm, my torso, side of my thigh, and shins. I also have a head piece that goes around my head and down the side of my face. It extends and makes a mask that covers my nose and mouth at will. When you are stuck in a cage for years you have a lot of time to sketch cool armor. I tie my hair up and sneak silently out of my room. I hear the clatter of shields and the bangs of clashing swords.

I'm coming...
