Hey, so this i had an idea for this fic bouncing around in my head and I thought it could be interesting, so I guess we will see how it goes eh? :) I will probably get the second chapter up today, maybe even a third, so hopefully there will be some progression with the story.
Tell me what you think of it, I would love some reviews for this story!
CHAPTER ONE:
"Brother, are you excited? She comes today," Thor boomed with a wide grin spreading across his cheeks.
"What is there to be excited about?" Loki sighed bored; he was content just reading a book of spells in the royal library.
"Oh come on, brother! She is magnificent, according to mother, I think you will be very pleased," Thor assured him, sitting on one of the plush sofas.
"Thor, I do not have need of a wife, I do not see why father is even bothering to wed me," Loki sighed and looked up at the big oaf. Thor had a look of 'you can't be serious' on his face. "Why does he not find a bride for you first? You are the eldest of us," Loki said.
"There is always a purpose for everything our father does," Thor shrugged "If you weren't to marry this woman, then who would you marry?" He asked.
"No one, I am happy in here reading, books and magic is all the comfort I need," Loki said, gesturing around the godly library. Thor shook his head.
"You would be very lonely," Thor sighed. Loki looked up and grinned at him.
"I have you don't I? Although you are frustrating sometimes you are my brother and a friend," Loki said. Thor smiled and stood up.
"Well, why don't you try to be happy with this woman? If you don't take her I know someone who wouldn't dare miss out on the chance," Thor chuckled. Ah yes, Fandral the ladies man, he would try to court any single, beautiful woman.
"I don't even know her name," Loki sighed and closed his book, also standing up.
"Nor do I, but that is something we will find out soon," Thor said and clapped Loki's back "She is from Vanaheim, that is all I know of her," Thor said. Loki nodded, and together the brothers walked out of the royal library to prepare for this woman's arrival.
"Father, why are you sending me off to get married? Why not send one of my older sisters?" Sirena sighed as her handmaidens tied her hair into an elegant bun. She knew the reason why she was the one to marry and not any of her older sisters; she wasn't of any use to the realm and was just pretty enough to seal a true between the two realms.
"Because you are a beautiful girl, didn't you say once many years ago that you wanted to go off and see the nine realms? Here is your chance my dear!" Her father smiled. He was a kind man, but Sirena knew that she wasn't the prettiest of her sisters. Sirena had hair that was almost white and was therefore regarded as unbeautiful; all her sisters had dark brown hair as well as their father and mother.
"Yes, but being married will surely put an end to that," Sirena sighed "Who is the man I'm supposed to marry anyway? Am I allowed to know his name before we leave?" She asked.
"He is Prince Loki of Asgard, the youngest son of King Odin and Queen Frigga," Her father said, sitting on a chair in the opposite corner of her room.
So, they were getting their youngest children to pair up Sirena thought.
"What does he look like?" Sirena asked, standing up and moving behind a wooden room divider to change into a dress. Sirena's handmaidens had picked out a beautiful blue and gold dress that looked beautiful with her hair.
"I have not seen the prince before, I have seen his elder brother Prince Thor though," Her father said "He is very muscular and blonde," He added. Sirena didn't really fancy muscular men; she always feared that they would hug her and squeeze her to death.
"Is Prince Loki a warrior?" Sirena asked, her father laughed.
"No, I believe he is more taken with the arts of magic," He said.
"Well there's something we have in common," Sirena shrugged.
"You have the gift to see into the future AND the past, I doubt there is anything more spectacular than that my dear," Her father smiled as she came out from behind the divider.
"You look beautiful my dear, I'm sure your mother would be proud if she were here," He smiled sadly. Sirena hugged her father, she would miss him dearly.
Sirena didn't know how she felt about an arranged marriage, she always dreamt that she would fall in love first, perhaps that might happen with the Asgardian Prince, but she couldn't be sure. Sirena was content where she was, she was happy with trying to improve her gift or seeing into the past and future and reading about the nine realms. Hopefully this marriage will allow her to travel the universe and visit the nicer of the nine realms. All the kings wanted was a truce between Asgard ans Vanaheim, Sirena hoped for it to be successful for her father's sake.
"May I say goodbye to Soren?" Sirena asked, looking up at her father.
"Yes, I believe her is waiting for you in the gardens, don't take too long," Her father said.
Sirena went straight to the gardens to find Soren; she didn't want to leave without saying goodbye to her brother.
"Soren!" Sirena smiled when the red head came into view among the flowers.
"Ah Sirena!" Soren smiled and stood to greet his sister with a hug "I thought I wouldn't get to see you before you left," He said.
"I wouldn't leave without saying goodbye," Sirena smiled.
"I hope this Prince takes care of you and treats you like the princess you are," Soren smirked.
"I'm going to miss you, brother, you must come visit me when you get the chance," Sirena said sternly. Soren stood back and nodded.
"You look beautiful my sister," Soren said, looking from her dress to her hair to her eyes. Sirena played with her hands nervously.
"I hope the Prince thinks that, it would be rather awful if he thought I was hideous," She laughed shakily. Soren put his hands on her shoulders and looked her in the eyes.
"Do not believe what anyone in this realm has said about you, you are beautiful my sister, the Prince will be taken with you," He smiled and pulled her into another hug. Sirena always had a close relationship with her brother, he was four years older than her, but they were close because they were both thought strange due to their hair colour.
"Sirena, we must be leaving now," Sirena heard her father call out. Soren walked with her to the place where they would be transported to Asgard via the Bifrost. Sirena's two older sisters, Annalie and Amelia were waiting to see her off.
"Goodbye little sister," Annalie smiled slightly. Sirena never really got along with Annalie; she was five years older than Sirena and didn't really speak much to her.
Amelia however was tearful. She cared about everyone and everything and was sad to see her little sister go.
"Make sure he takes good care of you," Amelia said, pulling Sirena into a hug.
"I will," Sirena nodded and pulled away from her sister. Soren gave her one last hug goodbye and then Sirena and her father disappeared in the light of the Bifrost.
