Picture is not mine

I looked at my dress choices. I picked a dark green color with gold and black. I put the dress on and went to my jewelry. I picked a simple yet elegant set of emerald earrings. And I put on a dragon breath opal that my brother have to me. Wait that's right my brother...Loki. I look in the mirror and notice I picked all the things that Loki had given to me, it was also Loki's colors.

Loki is still in isolation for what he did to New York.

I use magic to put my hair into a simple braid bun with a braid over the top of my head like a crown (picture at the top of the chapter).

I miss him so much

I look at myself in the mirror once again and cover my mouth and eyes as I start to cry.

What compelled him to do that? To make people suffer like that, to hurt people like that.

I wipe my tears away

He would want me to stay strong.

I use makeup to cover my red face and make myself presentable for breakfast.

I walk down the golden halls. The hollow walls which hide so many secrets only known to some.

I open the golden doors to the dining room to see that my father was the only one not there, and Loki of course. I make my way to the middle table where the royal family sits, and guests if we had any.

Father sits and the head of the table with mom to his right. Thor sat next to him on the left and Loki sat next to Thor. I sat next to mom on Odin's right.

I took my regular set next to mom.

"Why have you been crying Amia?" my mom said in my mind

"Loki"

That was all my mom needed to hear to understand.

Loki and I were never separated growing up and knew each other like the backs of our hands.

About 2 minutes later Odin came in and we all rose to greet him. He walks over to his seat.

"You all may take your seats!" he boomed

We all sit down. And once we are all seated he continues to speak.

"We are having our annual ball in only one week. It is your choice to bring gifts. Do not feel obligated to bring gifts! We will be all be hiding behind masks of any material you please! Make sure that your mask matches your dress or suit. Thank you and please lets feast!"

I get very little food because I wasn't very hungry today.

"Are you ok Amia? You haven't been eating much the last couple of days".

"I just miss Loki, I'm sorry mother"

"No need to be sorry my child, I miss him as well"

Everybody finishes eating and we are all dismissed. I decide to go to my private training room. I feel uncomfortable in a public area when fighting.
​
I begin my routine
1. 10-minute plank
2. 20 lunges
3.  10 One leged squats (each leg)
4. 20 push up's
5. 30 Russian twists

After that's all done I get to the fighting. I look at the same person I'm supposed to fight.

"ok this isn't going to work ill just ask one of the guards outside."

Ever since Loki went into isolation I was constantly under surveillance. I think Odin thinks I might pull off something like that.

I walk to the door and open it to find two guards posted outside.

"Hey, can one of you come in and help me?"

They look at each other and one of them walks in.

"yes?" he says gruffly

"Lets spar!" I say excited getting into a stance

"Alright" he says confident

He sets down his staff and takes off his sword. And he gets in a fighting stance.

The guards posted with me wear pretty flexible armor just in case I want to spar with them.

We start the fight. He tried to punch me but I blocked him. He tries to trip me but I flip and land on my feet.

Sorry I'm really lazy so I'll skip the rest

I end up getting on top of him with his arm twisted behind his back. He tapped out.

I was a little disappointed but whatever.

I leave and go to my room to take a bath. The maids made already drew a bath.

||After bath

I decide to escape my guards and go for a ride.

I love shifting into birds. I turn into an eagle and fly out of the room from the balcony and begin to fly to the stables.

I fly over the large town just outside the palace and fly down to just above the roofs of the houses. I wind in my feathers felt wonderful. I closed my eyes for a minute to feel everything

The wind rushing across me and the fresh air. The smell of baker Timothy's bread.

I open my eyes again and swoop down into the stables.
I turn back into well...me and saddle my horse and ride out into the country with the wind in my hair.

I reach my destination which is the ruins of a small village. I tie Shadow to the nearest pole and she starts eating grass. I run through the ruins to the huge tower that is the only thing still standing.

I run up the stairs to the top of the tower and sit on the ledge.

I had a small bag across my waist for little trinkets. I pull out my dragon breath necklace that Loki gave to me and put it back on.

This necklace is so beautiful. I can't even fathom how he got this they are so rare. Wow

I enjoy the the wind and the book I brought with me. Before I know it it's past noon, and I missed lunch.
