Chapter 1 - A Risky Adventure Off in The Mountains

It was a nice afternoon in the cold planet in Jotunhiem, Loki was off doing his king duties and flora was training in the stables

Sophie had returned from her school and went to her bedroom, she tossed her bag on the couch and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

Minutes later she walked out of her bedroom and headed to the livingroom where she knew her father would be, she walked in the livingroom as she was holding her bag she saw her father on the couch and he was reading a book, she went up to her father and said "Dad can I go do my homework in your study, please?" She asked holding her bag and loki looked up at sophie and smiled abit "of course sweetheart you can, go ahead" He said and Sophie smiles back as she turns on her heel and went to loki's study "thanks dad!" She said as she ran to his study.

Sophie opened the door and walks in and closes the door behind her and looks around "whoa this place is massive..." she mumbled as she went to loki's desk

She sits infront of the desk and she puts her bag near her and pulls out a few books and places them on the desk

Sophie began doing her homework and she heard the door open, she looked at the door and saw xiaver. Xiaver was the King's advisor's son. "Oh um... sorry I was exploring.." He said as Sophie smiles abit "it's okay come in." She said. xiaver walks in the room and he closed the door, Sophie watched him "by the way, who are you? I haven't seen you here." She said as xiaver walked over to a chair across sophie. "Well I'm xiaver, mydad is the King's advisor and I'm his son, I really wanted to come with him to the castle because I was very eager to see the castle my self heh" He said.

Sophie looked at him and smiled as xiaver sat down on the chair. "Oh Okay, well now you do and it's very nice to meet you xiaver, I'm Sophie the king's daughter." She said and xiaver widened his eyes and quickly stod up from his seat. "You're the king's daughter?!?!" He said in shock and Sophie giggled at his sudden actions. "Yeah why??" She asked as she smiled at him. "I am so sorry about my manners, princess..." He said as he bowed down.

Sophie looked at him and smiled "it's alright you did nothing wrong" she said as xiaver came forward and he puts his left hand behind him and he held out his other hand for her, Sophie looked at his hand and she puts down the pencil and she puts her hand in his having no idea what's going on, xiaver leaned down and kissed her hand gently then looked at Sophie as Sophie watched him "its an honor to meet you princess" he said.

Sophie watched him and she smiled abit. "Its nice to meet you too." She said as both of them talked for a couple of minutes before Sophie noticed a stack of papers on the desk, she grabbed one of the papers and reads it. "What's this? Complaints?" She said as xiaver grabs another paper from the stack of papers and he reads it and sighs. "I've heard of these..." He said as he puts down the paper on the table. Sophie looks at xiaver "what is it about?" She asked "Well it was said that every week or two on the county side there would be farmers and their animals would go missing, just poof disappear into thin air... no one had seen them again.. that's what the complaints are..." xiaver said as he leanedback against his seat,

Sophie looks down at the paper thinking as she sighs. "Do you have ant idea where they could've went?" She asked, "Well... there's a cave in a huge mountain, no one knows the size of that cave because the frost giants who went in the cave never came back and the ones who did described the cave to be very hot, super hot and they described the cave to be an endless cave... a few frost giants also said they heard growling and roaring at night, and it was coming from up the mountain, from the cave." Sophie listened as she grew curious on what's in the cave. She thinks to herself as she looks at the papers, xiaver looks at sophie "what are you thinking princess?" He asked and Sophie looks at xiaver "what do you think is in the cave?" She asked and xiaver shrugs "a beast maybe."

"wanna um, maybe visit the cave? And like go inside it??" she asked looking at xiaver ""just be honest with me..." she said. "well princess going into the cave is a like a death sentence... maybe we could never get out of the cave..." He said, Sophie sighed "I know, but some survived and managed to get out. " she said as xiaver grew curious himself as well. "Well yes they did.... alright let's do it then..."

The sun was slowly going down and Loki and Flora were getting ready to go on their date, it's been awhile since they ever went on a date. Loki had told Sophie to do her homework and be in bed after 9 and then off they went to their date.

Xiaver and Sophie agreed to go up to the cave when her parents would go out. Soon they left and it was time for them to get going. Sophie had put on a warm jacket on with a hood on her head so that no one recognises her, and also she was human and humans do not survive in jotunhiem so she did her best to stay warm and dare not to catch a cold. She had also packed up a few stuff such as water supply and food and a first aid kit, just in case stuff goes side ways.

They were walking for awhile now and both of their stomachs it began railing heavily, xiaver saw a small cottage bar and both of them ran towards the cottage. "Let's wait out the storm in here" He said and Sophie agreed. They both walked in the cottage and saw female and male frost giants sitting across the tables and also at the bar chatting drinking eating and laughing. Xiaver let out a sigh as he began walking up to a table in the corner. "Stay close princess..." He whispered. Sophie sighed as she rolled her eyes "you don't have to keep calling me princess you know, we're friends just call me Sophie" she said as xiaver and Sophie sat down infront of the table. "As you wish, sophie" He said as Sophie giggles abit.

They ordered up their food and ate, Sophie looked out the window asshe snuggled up to her jacket and she looked up at the mountain and sighed. Thinking what can be up there...

Soon the storm had passed and they walked out of the cottage and went back on their journey to climbing up the mountain. The kids arrived at the cave and looked up at it as Sophie sighed as she smiled. "Phew... that was a looong way down here!" She breathed out looking at xiaver and xiaver chuckled a little "Well princess, atleast we arrived at the cave also let's get going and explore the cave before your parents find out where we've been and gods hope they don't chop off my head...." He said as he chuckled and Sophie rolled her eyes. "That's not going to happen xiaver. " she said.

They looked at the cave as the cave looked shallow and huge. Xiaver sighed having second thoughts "pr- Sophie please think Wisley about this... do you still want to go inside?..." He asked looking at sophie as he had worry in his eyes. Sophie looked at him and smiled "let's go" she said as she began walking into the cave.

Both of them walked into the cave and a few minutes later they stumbled up a river, they looked around for a way to avoid going into the water and walk because there wasn't a boat near them. Xiaver sighed "well now what, we don't have a boat and we can't swim in the waters..." He said as Sophie thought to herself. "Wait I've got an idea! I just remembered I got powers just like my mom.. maybe I can make us a boat??" She said looking at xiaver hoping to not sound weird or crazy and xiaver smiles and nodded "give it a try sop" He said and Sophie sighed and she smiled back as she calms herself down and closes her eyes. "Ok...." she sighed as she focused hard and poof there it was she had made a boat from her powers.

The boat looked transparent and it blue and was glowing, they both looked at the boat as they cheered. "See?? I know you could do it haha!" He said as Sophie giggled.

They hoped on the boat and both of them appeared a stick and began moving the boat. Minutes later the boat began moving by its own and both of them put their sticks in the boat. "How is it moving by its own??" Sophie said amazed as she watched the glowing magical waters. "Well princess this is not just an ordinary cave you see in jotunhiem the caves are magical here, if you go into the cave deeper the magic becomes stronger and it can move objects by its own on waters." He said as he looked around the beautiful place. "Ahh you're a geeek just like mee! Haha" both of them chuckled.

Soon the boat stopped moving and they came infront of another cave and both of them hoped out of the boat and went in the cave.

They walked in and looked around there were crystals all up on the ceiling some of them were huge and some of them were small and all of them were colour full. Sophie looked up at it and she smiled "whoa! That's pretty" she said as xiaver smiled and looked up at the crystals. "Yeah.." He said.

The cave also had hot boiling lava in a few areas .

They explored the place for a few minutes until xiaver stumbled upon an egg nest he widened his eyes as he looked at the five eggs. The eggs had scales on them and xiaver had never seen anything like it..

"Uhh Sophie you need to see this..." He said and Sophie walks towards him "what is it?" She asked looking at xiaver and then to where he is looking. She saw the clutch of eggs "Oh..." both of them starred at the eggs. "I've never seen anything like it before...." He mumbled as he crouched down. "Me either..." Sophie said.

And was about to touch one of the eggs until both of them heard a low growl coming from behind them and a hot breath rushed towards them. Sophie and xiaver froze in their place afraid to turn around.

Sophie slowly turned around and she looked up at the creature who was growling at them, she widened her eyes and screamed. The creature who was growling at them was a 70 meters long dragon mother of those eggs and she was glaring back at the two kids. The dragon roared at the kids with all its might as a bright yellow glow began coming out of the dragon's throat. Xiaver holds sophie's wrist as Sophie watched the dragon in horror and they both turned and began running for their lives. "LET'S GO LET'S GO LET'S GO!!" Xiaver screamed as the beast opens her mouth and xiaver looked behind him and he pulls Sophie down onto a huge rock and both of them hid and covered themselves behind the rock. "Get down!!" Xiaver shouted as both of them crouched down and Sophie hid her head in her hands.

the beast fires at them the fire looked blue and a little bit of purple, Sophie sees the hot burning fire terrified as she covers her head, the fire stopped and the dragon looked around not knowing where they went, it stayed there for a few minutes then gave up looking for them but stayed alert, Sophie slowly peaks and looks at the dragon and notices it had been injured and there was a spike sticking out her right leg. The dragon went back to her eggs and xiaver and Sophie sighed and catched their breath. "It was injured..." Sophie mumbled and xiaver stood up "let's just get out of here..." xiaver said as both of them went back to the exit.

Once they were back on the ground both of them sat down under a tree as they caught their breaths and drank some water and both of them tried to process what just happened. "What the hell was that thing..." He said as he slowly calmed down. He mumbled and after awhile later they had arrived at the castle and went back to their separate Chambers and swore to never tell what they had experienced to anyone not a soul. Especially not the King nor the Queen.
