It was a beautiful day in Asgard and today was the anniversary of Shardae's grandfather's death. For four years the dragoness ruled Asgard as its queen and during those times peace in the nine realms remained firm. Shardae became beloved by the people on Asgard alongside the other realms.

Shardae eyed the silvery statue of Caim that was at the entrance to the pavilion where there were festivities in honor of Caim's life. The dragoness wore a silver gown with straps on the shoulders. She also had on golden arm cuffs and a matching sash around her waist. The Queen of Asgard tended to keep her hair in a braid or in a pony tail.

"That statue looks just like him"

Shardae smiled as her mate and husband came to stand beside her. He took Shardae's hand and kissed it. He then began to guide Shardae back to the pavilion.

"This is a day for you to enjoy yourself with our people love" Loki said to her.

"Very well" Shardae replied as Loki guided his wife over to a sofa. All around them Asgardians were talking amongst themselves before some play started. Shardae eyed her mate and Loki smirked before nodding towards the stage. The play appeared to be a surprise and it was how the battle in the Dark World happened.

When the actors representing Loki and Thor came out Shardae actually laughed. Shardae's eyes widened when she the actress playing her. Shardae recognized her as Irina. Irina was another dragon shifter who decided to reside in Asgard after Shardae took m the throne. The dragoness came from Vanaheim and had a talent with horses. Underneath her wig, Irina had strawberry blonde hair with hazel eyes.

The play continued as the dark elves made their debut and the crowd booed. Before Irina was about to be stabbed did the dragon repressing Caim appear. Only it wasn't a full grown dragon and the fire it breathed was magic being used. The dragon matched Caim's silver scales perfectly and it was the size of a large dog.

Knowing what was coming next the crowd began to scream for the dragon performer to fly as a the actor playing Malekith threw a ice spear prop. A blast of fire exploded next to the dragon performer before it began to descend. It then landed on the stage floor with a thud and some of the audience began to cry.

After Irina played her part as Shardae saying goodbye to the pretend Caim did the play end. Everybody clapped and Shardae pressed a kiss against her husband's cheek. Loki chuckled and kissed his wife's forehead just as the young dragon shifter got to its feet. It took shook it's head before its body shimmered gold. The silver scales faded into sapphire blue scales. The frills on the dragons neck were light blue as we're then frills on the tail. The dragons eyes were a crimson red with a single slit in the center the color of black.

Blue smoke covered the dragons body before it disappeared. A five year old girl stood in the dragons place. She had black curly hair with matching green eyes. She wore a gown similar to her mother's only she wore golden arm cuffs on her wrists.

Loki held out his arms out and Nimue smirked before walking over to her father. The God of Mischief scooped his daughter into his grasp and kissed her forehead. After spinning Nimue around a few times did Loki return to the sofa with their daughter in tow.

"Did you like the show Mom?" Nimue asked her mother. "Daddy and I wanted it to be a surprise for you"

"I treasured it dear one" Shardae replied.

Last year Loki started to teach the young princess magic. The princess of Asgard had a long way to go but she already had mastered the transformation technique. Shardae kissed her daughter which in return got the little girl to put her arms around her mother's neck.

Shardae hugged her child back while Loki took two goblets from a serving girl. After hugging her mother Nimue went to play with the other children while Loki gave his wife the goblet of wine.

"You spoil her too much mate" Shardae joked at her husband as she sipped the wine.

"I do not darling" Loki lied with his usual smirk. Shardae rolled her eyes before she set her whine glass down and pressed her lips against Loki's.

I enjoyed the performance none of the less, her magic is improving Shardae told Loki through their mating bond.

I wanted to honor Caim's memory if it wasn't for him you would be dead Loki answered back. Even to this day Loki still managed to leave his wife breathless when it came to their kisses. After pulling away Loki looked past his wife and his eyes widened.

"Oh shit"

"Uncle Thor!" Nimue called out. The princess ran over to her uncle and Thor immediately broke into a smile. He scooped up his niece into his grasp and he spun her around like Loki did. Shardae chucked before standing to her feet.

"Thor has returned!" she shouted and the other Asgardians clapped. Loki and Thor's relationship was better than it used to be but the God of Mischief still was nervous whenever Thor came home.

"Your grace it's been awhile" Thor greeted Shardae as the dragoness came over to him.

"It a good to see you my friend" Shardae said before she hugged her brother in-law. Thor used his free arm to hug Shardae back. A guard left the party carrying what appeared to be a large crown. Shardae and Thor then walked over to where Loki sat.

"Brother you look well" Loki greeted the blonde.

"As do you" Thor replied as he sat Nimue back on her feet.

"Any luck finding anymore Infinity Stones?" Shardae asked.

"I'm afraid not" Thor answered.

"What about our father!" Loki asked.

Before Shardae was crowned Odin had disappeared and he chose Shardae as his successor. For the past four years the nine realms were searched but Odin remained missing.

"I still haven't learned anything new" Thor answered.

"He's alive" Nimue said suddenly. Shardae and Loki turned to see their daughter was in a trance. Besides her gift of magic Nimue had premonitions which were always accurate but sometimes hazy. Thor turned to see his niece in her trance. Her eyes were solid gray which happened whenever a vision occurred.

"Where do you see him sweetheart?" Shardae asked her child.

"He is on Midgard, in New York City, at a place called Shady Acres Care Home"

Nimue then grunted before she shook her head. She opened her eyes a few seconds later and they were back to their green color. Immediately Shardae stood up and turned to her husband and brother in-law.

Loki snapped His finger and Shardae's attire changed. She wore dark blue jeans with black boots. Her top was a silver t-shirt with a black leather jacket covering it. Shardae's hair was still in its braid.

"Don't stay gone too long Mommy" Nimue said making Shardae bend down to her level.

"I won't my love" the dragon shifter reassured her. Nimue gave her mother a hug just as Selene and Felix appeared. Shardae's parents were now part of Asgardians army and whenever Shardae had to leave they would watch Nimue if Loki wasn't around.

Shardae's parents wore Asgardian attire as Shardae approached. Loki was holding Nimue in his arms saying his goodbye to her. The five year old had her arms wrapped around his neck and her head was buried against his shoulder.

"You two know the drill keep Asgard and the people safe" Shardae told her parents.

Felix snorted at the way his daughter ordered him around but hugged Shardae.

"Be safe" Selene said to Shardae before kissing her forehead. Loki walked over and handed Nimue to her grandmother. The little princess looked tired and Selene headed into the palace so her granddaughter could sleep.

"Ready?" Shardae asked looking to Thor and Loki. They both nodded before the three of them headed towards the Bifrost.
