Prologue

She shut her eyes tight as the chaos around her thickened. Resorting to crawling into her secret compartment under the bed in her room, she listened to the noise outside her bedroom door and remembered her mother.

"Everything is going to be alright. You must promise to stay here until Uncle Dave comes to get you. I do not know what may happen to me or your father but know this, we love you so much. Don't ever forget that. What will happen in the near future is happening for a reason. When you come to a point when you don't know what to do, always remember that metal is always there when you need it," her mother quickly told her 5 year old daughter. She kissed her on the forehead and ran outside to meet the chaos.

After what seemed like an hour to the little girl, she heard her bedroom door open. Quickly, she scrunched up into a ball and slowed her breathing so they wouldn't find her.

"Darling? It's Uncle Dave. It is all safe now, but we may need to have a talk," a man said. He slowly pulled the bed away and the little girl crawled out of her space. As soon as she was standing, she ran to her uncle and he picked her up and just held her, for she was crying. He sat on her bed and held the crying figure, softly comforting her with small pats on the back.

"Uncle, what happened to Mama and Dada?" the little girl asked.

"You are too young to understand now but they are going on a very long journey. They have requested that I take you to a much safer place to live. From there, we will learn to live on what we have."

"But, where will I go to school? And where are we going?" the little girl questioned.

"Asgard, Skylar. We are going to Asgard."
