Authors note~
this is my first story and I wrote it a few months ago but since then my writing has changed quite a bit so I did go back to edit this first chapter a little.

Analia closed her eyes and breathed in a breath of fresh Asgardian air. She opened her eyes again to admire the waterfall before her. It was located near the palace by the woods. She often sat here as no one else was ever there and it gave her peace after combat training. The air smelled fresh, the atmosphere was quiet and calming. The only sounds she could hear was the trickling of falling water and the birds around her.

As she was in her tranquil state, she remembered. There was a banquet in the palace tonight. Analia specifically remembered the All-mother telling her not to forget! She raced over to her horse, mounted it and raced back to the palace.

She felt water droplets on her nose and the sprinkling turned into a torrential downpour. The coldness seeped through her armour and chilled her skin.
"Great, now it'll take me even longer to get ready." She said quietly to herself. Trying to blink away the water that was trickling down her face into her eyes.

Analia preferred wearing her armour over wearing dresses or ball gowns . However tonight was a special night, for her father was returning home. He'd been in Vanaheim for almost half a year, settling great unrest which had grown there. She was proud of her father, but he was often away for months at a time. She was used to this of course, however, she still missed her father and tonight she would finally see him again.

As she approached the stables to leave her horse Nova, she stopped when she sensed a pair of eyes on her. Swiftly and without hesitation she grasped her dagger and turned around to find a smirking Prince Loki waiting to frighten her. She was very much used to his tricks and tackled him to the ground instantly, causing him to let out a groan of frustration.

"When will you learn Odin-son, that I am the daughter of Felix. Would I be such a fierce warrior if I fell for your little tricks?" Analia sneered, holding the dagger to his throat.

Loki chuckled and rolled his eyes.
"One day o fierce warrior, one day I will have victory."

Analia moved closer to the Prince, her face merely inches away from his. "Unlikely." She whispered. She lifted herself off him and concealed her dagger.

Loki chuckled as he picked himself off the ground.
"I knew you would forget about the banquet." He stated.

Analia led her horse through the stables and began brushing her down.

"I don't need a silly banquet to see my father, his return is enough" She sharply replied shrugging her shoulders.

"I shall leave you to get ready, don't forget." Loki joked. Analia smiled at the prince as he left her in the stables.
A short while later she made her way to her chambers to prepare for the banquet later that evening.
