Alex was a regular but gender changing prince. He was also a daring one. He'd sneak out of palace walls, be in places he wasn't supposed to, and he'd just rebel in general. He didn't like when the maids dressed him even though he could do it himself. He also didn't like how his father kept pestering him about finding someone to marry. He wasn't ready for that. He was 17!

One day, Alex was mindlessly walking through the woods on a dirt path, desperate to find something worth finding. He was bored out of his mind, and he wanted something to do other than sit in the palace and do nothing. He also wanted to avoid his father. Especially if it meant looking at Alex's mother's (Loki's) portrait. Damn her.
