What do you mean...
"Are you certain it has been none of ours? I haven’t seen much activity of the other deities, except the natives."
I would hope anyone planning such an ambitious move would ask me first, and no one has because I would deny that plan as foolish. We are not ready to face such a foe.... perhaps I know who would. We must find Bear, he may have the answers we need.
What do you mean...
Coyote is gone? Who could have taken him? No one on our side.
My mind is made up...
"Then prepare yourself for battle. I have faith in you, Thor, and trust you will make the decisions that will proceed into a more peaceful era. Retain your patience through this, though. If you were to lose, you will doom many."
"Perhaps you should show mercy. Interfering with one another also brought me to you all of those years ago. Gods rise and Gods fall, but more than anything, they retain their memories. Do not forget who your friends are." Bear paused, sucking in a breath. "Sif is well?"
"Faith enough to join me, old one?" Thor asked, hoping to pit like against like and he knew none of his own could stand toe to toe with Coyote and not come out worse for wear.
"My friends are never forgotten, and treated as well as I can treat them. You are always welcome by my fire, old one, that I can promise you." he said with a respectful nod. His face softened instantly to think of his battle ready wife. "Sif is as well as ever and in fine form. She delights in giving me bruises." he said with a laugh.
My mind is made up...
"Thank you, Thor. I assure you, we are equally pleased with your good health." Ægir paused, ever slightly hesitant, before finding his voice. "Our loyalties lie with you during this war. We’ve spoken, and decided. If there is anything that we can do, only give us the word."
Rán entered the area that Thor and Ægir found themselves in. She looked at both men who had been conversing and she had heard enough of her husband to know he had already told the Gold headed God that the two of them would align to his cause. “I hope I don’t come at a wrong time?” Rán asked, making her way towards them, eyes on Thor as she smiled at him, half-curtsying before him before joining at her husband’s side. “Will you have us at your side, Thor?”
Thor's head turned when movement flicked at the edge of his vision and something in his eyes changed, from god to mortal man. "Irene?" Landon asked, floored as she strode to stand by Ægir. Thor shook his head in surprise and regained control. "It is good to see you well Rán." he said, tucking Landon away in the back of their mind.
"I will be glad for your company and your support, my old friends." he said, regaining his composure. "I've found the way of the greeks best suited to this war, take my blood and my power, that it stays with you even past my death." he said, flicking a knife out of his pants and cutting a deep slice across his palm. He flipped the knife deftly to catch the bloody blade and offered the handle and the blood pooling in his palm to Ægir.
Cheeky bastard.
"Begrudgingly." she groaned.
A breath was forced from Sif’s lungs as the giant oaf tackled her, though she quickly brought her shoulder out from under him, locking her arms around his shoulders for leverage.
"I remember a smile on your face when you said your vows." Thor rasped through a grin and gritted teeth. Thor bore down harder against her, hoping to knock her breath from her lungs and then find a way to pin her.
Cheeky bastard.
"You, sir, are an absolute idiot." she scoffed, narrowing her eyes at his advance. "There is no thir- ah, I see."
"Now are you quite through being the father of my children and the love of my life? Because I would quite like to wrestle with the God of Thunder again. While he’s weak." she smirked, winking and taking careful steps backward.
"Your idiot." he said with a grin.
"I will never be through with that one. But exceptions can be made when I am insulted!" he mock growled, diving at her to knock them both to the ground. He could win quickly if he pinned her down and got her to stay there.
Cheeky bastard.
"No, you caught my attention because you made a show of yourself and nearly lost your arm for it. Distracted as Mjölnir hurdled toward you, or don’t you remember?” she goaded, pulling her shoulder back and out of his grasp. “Are you going to fight or stare, Thor?”
"I got your attention did I not? The plan did not work perfectly but I did attract the strongest and most beautiful shieldmaiden to be my wife." he goaded, daring a step or two forward to wrap his arms around her waist. "Hmm, option three. I'd like to kiss my wife." he said, leaning down to do just that before ducking away with a laugh. It felt nice to have his sparring partner back.
Cheeky bastard.
"Is that not how I got your attention in the first place?" Thor asked with a teasing smile, circling a bit out of her reach. His best bet at winning this little wrestling match was his strength, as long as he made sure it wasn't used against him. He feinted a grab at her and nearly had to stop the fight just to kiss his wife.
My mind is made up...
"Then be sure that he is set on killing your father before you strike. When you kill Loki, and I have no doubts that you are capable, his followers will be chaotic. Will you restore order, Thor? And how will you protect yourself if they wish revenge for their leader’s death?"
"I have that surety, my knowledge of Loki comes from the lips of our Keeper of Knowledge himself. Mimir would not lie to me." Thor said, surety in his voice. His faith in Mimir was unshakeable.
"Each follower of Loki who resists once Loki is dead will be given to their own pantheon for punishment. Interfering with one another is what brought this war about in the first place. I can protect myself if I have to, I have a wife to stand beside me."
My mind is made up...
"I, Ægir, and my wife, Rán."
"I told your human I knew you, friend. It makes me glad that you and your wife are safe. Why do you approach me tonight, Ægir?"
My mind is made up...
"That’s assuming that this war cannot be domesticated. My words are unrealistic, I know, but before this slaughter worsens, there must be procedures that could lessen the damage. All will intend to kill, Thor, if this war begins. Don’t assume that you will survive if it does."
"Act upon peace, do not only speak of it."
Too many have died already, I know my uncle Loki. If he is set on killing my father, there will be a blood bath. I will fight and kill only Loki. Loki is who I make war with, not my cousins, and not Loki's followers. Loki himself is the one I am hunting. This war began the moment Loki swore to fight. I can only match that oath.
My mind is made up...
"That is wise, my king."
"And who stands before me, to call me king? I am not the Allfather."
My mind is made up...
If I am to fight this war, to be made monstrous... I will be a monster with peace in my heart.
"Grim news?" She walked to join him, her face a mixture of confusion and curiosity. "I suppose not, I’ve spent more time in rest that I’ve realised. Do catch me up?"
So many are dead, cousin. My bloodcousin Vali... he tore himself apart under the curse placed by my father. I don't want this war, Freyja, is it so much to ask for peace? -buries his face in his hands- Must we fight this war, play this game, just so that we may live in harmony? Is that the price of having my family near?
"Am I disturbing you cousin?"
Never, cousin my dearest..... Have you heard the grim news?
For this little game, of course. I can leave if you would rather toss your golden locks in peace.
The light happiness and love in Thor's eyes dimmed a bit as he thought of the war he'd managed to forget, so happy to see his wife again. "I would not call it a game." he said, sombre now as he thought of his cousin Freyja's tears for her Greek fiancee. Of the death running rampant in the city. "I would be honoured to have you at my side once more." he said, shoulders straightening and a determined look returning to his face.
I am not here to give you answers, Thundercock. You figure out how you are going to make it up to me.
Then why are you here, dear wife?
