Birthday Bloody Birthday

Loki opened his eyes.

It felt strange waking up in a dream knowing it was actually a dream—let alone someone else’s dream. He hadn’t seen what happened in the real world after Fable poured Magic Dust in his eyes, but he imagined the Dream Temple shimmering with light while he was lying unconscious next to the vampire princess.

Here in the Dreamworld, Loki took a second to adjust to his surroundings. He had a headache so intense he imagined there were birdies humming above his head. He wondered if this was supposed to happen, because he hadn’t read about side effects of traveling the Dreamworld in the Dreamhunter’s notebook.

The headache faded slowly, and he started looking for clues to his whereabouts. He found himself lying on his back, staring at the ceiling. It was engraved and painted with all kinds of ancient motifs, drawings of stories of battles that he didn’t know of. It looked like he was somewhere in the 18th or 19th century like Axel had suggested.

Loki stood up and looked around. He was alone in a majestic room, a girl’s room, probably in the Schloss. He could hear voices celebrating outside the room.

Suddenly, the door sprang open, and Loki took a step back.

A big woman, dressed in a maid’s outfit, came through the door. She looked angrily at Loki.

Wow, this woman is a giant. Where am I?

“What are you doing here?” she shook Loki by the shoulders. “And what are these clothes you’re wearing?” she asked. “Take these,” she handed him a warrior outfit that looked childish, though. “Get dressed and follow the other children outside,” she demanded.

Did she say children? Of course, to a giant woman like her, he was seemed like a child, but he didn’t like anyone calling him child or kid, not even in a dream. Loki examined the outfit with an open mouth. It was too small. How did she expect him to wear it? The giant had totally misjudged his size. What was going on?

“What are you waiting for?” she grunted. “I don’t have time to wait for you. Get dressed. It’s the princess’s birthday. The little princess will meet the young prince in a moment.”

Little princess and little prince? What crazy dream was Snow White having?

“But these are too small,” Loki complained. They were his first words in the dream, and they felt awfully real.

The woman sighed and pushed Loki toward a mirror. Staring at his reflection, he almost laughed and cried at the same time. The woman wasn’t a giant. Loki was just small. He’d entered the dream as a seven-year-old.

What? Is this supposed to happen?

“Hurry!” the woman urged him.

Loki got dressed, unable to take his eyes away from the mirror, thinking he looked a bit too skinny.

“What should I do now?” he asked the woman.

“Are you making fun of me? Move it,” she guided him out of the room and then walked to whatever business she had to manage.

Loki was glad she was gone so he could pick up his Alicorn from the floor.
