AN: Hey Everyone! This is my first story I have done, a long time comming. I want to thank my bata reader Brianna Leigh for helping and encouraging me. This story is a long one, I want to do it justice to give her a true journey and character arch. It does start off as a romantic story so for those who dont like the romantic stuff bare with me lol it does change. This is very much Sigyn's story, Loki plays a part however its more about her feelings, relationships with the people around her and the choices that she makes. Most of all the consequences that she faces because of it.

As for Loki's personality I was very tempted to change it but after watching the deleted scenes from Thor I felt alot better. So please be kind lol and I really hope you like it and give it a chance. Thanks Princess Sigyn.

The view of the palace was in full view from the small village; the smell of the nearby waterfall filled the air. The warm sunlight cast a golden reddish glow upon the small balcony, where a young woman stood with her eyes closed taking in the early morning air.

Sigyn sighed as she opened her eyes. This was the last morning she would stand on this balcony as she would begin a new journey to the palace this very day. She had always longed for something outside the housewife role as all Asgardian women were expected to be and for that reason she became dedicated in her studies to the point that her potential as a healer could not be ignored. Much to her mother's dismay, the day finally came when the news spread through Asgard she would to be placed at the house of Odin itself. Even though her mother praised her highly, the doubt still haunted her.

"Hurry Sigyn the house of Odin does not like to be kept waiting. The Lady Frigga has granted you this honor. It would not do you justice to keep them waiting," her mother said appearing in the doorway of Sigyn's bedroom. Maria was the same height as Sigyn, but she had red hair and green eyes. The similarity to her mother ended at height because Sigyn possessed hair the color of golden wheat and eyes the color of the purest ocean in Asgard. Maria had married well and through that union produced an older son who was killed in battle and now her only daughter was preparing to leave as well.

"I am ready mother. I must be allowed to say goodbye to Selene because she has supported me so much.'' she said as she walked down the stairs and gazed at her mother with a mixture of excitement and sadness. Selene was her childhood friend and a confident woman in particular when it comes to the ways of proper behavior and courtship, yet despite being almost opposites they found a kinship between them that grew into a strong friendship.

"Oh my! Why are you still here, perhaps you desire to say goodbye to my brother Theoric after all, it would please him very much,'' she laughed as she hugged her friend. Long had Selene hoped for the engagement of her brother and Sigyn, as did their families. However, try as she may there was nothing but a friendship on her part, but given his way they would be married this very day.

"How could I go without saying goodbye to my dear friend and please send Theoric my goodbyes as well and do not forget I wish to be invited to your wedding when it happens." Selene was a true beauty in Sigyn's eyes and Sigyn believed she could have her pick of any husband, even a Prince of Asgard if she chose. She had a natural charm that couldn't be ignored. Sigyn released her and kept her at arms reach trying to hold back tears that were now beginning to run down her cheeks.

"Sigyn the carriage is here you must leave now," Selene said with one last hug from her mother. Selene sent well wishes to her father who served in the Allfather's army. Sigyn boarded the carriage and it rode off into the morning light.

An overwhelming feeling of nervousness overcame her as she approached the palace. She felt small as she gazed upon the golden statues placed outside the large doors; yet she could not help but look in awe at the majestic building with its pane glass widows that the morning sun cast a rainbow of colors onto the mist coming from the waterfall which was now in full view. She truly felt that despite being here she would never truly belong here.

Little did she know how much her life would change once she stepped through those doors.
