[center] [i]Midgard was once a world with Pantheons upon Pantheons, more Gods than many other worlds combined. The small, seemingly insignificant rock adrift in space a nexus point for various realms to come together. Over time some faded into obscurity, others left the realm altogether. While others continued to play with their influence on the world, subtly interacting with the world according to their grand design. This is not the tale of one such God. This is the tale of…[/i][/center] [center][img]https://cdn-media.threadless.com/challenges/thor_mainbanner_1.jpg[/img][/center] [right][sup][b]Previously:[/b][url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/5178032]School Day[/url] // [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/5177359]Wooly Hat[/url][/sup][/right] [b][color=#6d9eeb]“-and that is how I managed to have myself transformed back from a frog into my true form.”[/color][/b] There was applause around the room as Thor stood with a smug look on his face. Mjolnir twirling in his hands. At this point, the room was filled with not only the people from this classroom but several others had ventured in cramming the room as full as it could be. With even more people crowding outside the room, and the windows peering in. Cameras flashed, the small telephone devices held up recording video and audio. It would no doubt be only a short period until news crews started to show up. Soon after that, his Avengers ID card would no doubt notify him that his ‘liaison’ Agent Brand would like to talk to him. [b][color=#dd7e6b]“That is quite enough now Mr.Thor. We have taken enough of your time.”[/color][/b] Thor turned to the teacher, this Mr.Blackwood seemed to hold resentment towards him. The teacher turned towards the window as there was some form of commotion through the crowd. A raven flew through them before landing on the windowsill cawing, it tapped on the window. Blackwood groaned as he moved towards the window. [b][color=#dd7e6b]“What now? Shoo you stupid bird, [i]shoo[/i]!”[/color][/b] Thor took a step closer.[b][color=#6d9eeb] “I would not do that. That is Huginn, he brings a message from Odin. I would let him in-”[/color][/b] [b][color=#dd7e6b]“Let a wild bird into my classroom? Are you mad? If you want to talk to birds do it on your own time.” [/color][/b]Flapping his hands at the bird it seemed undeterred by the mortal's actions. Cawing once more it flapped its wings and then turned away flying in the opposite direction from the window. [b][color=#dd7e6b]“See? Just a random Raven. Nothing to do with-”[/color][/b] Before he knew it Huginn had turned flying directly towards the window. Several people flinched as it got close, but instead of colliding with the window, it passed straight through landing on the desk. The bird shot Blackwood an annoyed look before it turned its head so that one of its eyes was focused on Thor. Opening its beak the booming voice of the All-Father filled the room. [b][color=#b7b7b7]“Thor!”[/color] [/b]The Prince of Asgard winced slightly. The tone his father used was not a good sign. [b][color=#b7b7b7]“Why do you sully yourself by consorting with these mortals? I have told you before you have a higher duty to attend.”[/color][/b] [b][color=#6d9eeb]“I was merely answering a Prayer, in the way Lady Freyja taught.”[/color][/b] Throwing the name of his mother in there was always a good bet. Well, usually a good bet. [b][color=#b7b7b7]“Do you take me for a fool boy? Return to Asgard at once. I would have words with you.”[/color][/b] Thor sighed as he bowed his head towards the raven, without even waiting for an answer Huginn left the same way he entered the room. Putting on his most reassuring smile he moved towards the small girl Alice. Who’s prayer had brought him here. [b][color=#6d9eeb]“I will return, Lady Alice. Until then, I bid you farewell.”[/color][/b] Without so much as another word he left the room, passing people within the halls and out the front door of the school. He was immediately swarmed by people as clouds and thunder formed overhead. He raised Mjolnir above his head. [b][color=#6d9eeb]“I would stand back if I were you-”[/color][/b] people backed away from him as he shouted into the air. [b][color=#6d9eeb]“-Heimdall open the Bifrost!”[/color][/b] A beam of light came crashing down from the skies, a rainbow of light surrounding Thor as he disappeared. Pulled through the fabrics between the realms. [b][right]HOVDEN // NORWAY[/right][/b] A lone figure dressed in black walked through the crowd. Green accents adorned his outfit as he occasionally delicately placed a hand on the shoulder of one of the many people on their knees. Chanting and praying was all that could be heard, the droning of over one hundred people praying in unison. The figure ignored the cameras, ignored the lights. This sermon would be broadcast through various back channels all over the world. The figure did not doubt that this would eventually find its way back to the authorities, they had been chasing for quite some time now, and yet, they were always a step behind. The numbers of the [i]Woken[/i] were too many now, too many to ignore. With a significant power base that gave them the option of working more openly, and more freely. Thanks to the Heroics of Thor the movement had only grown, people willingly giving up their beliefs in one God or another, after all, how could you possibly argue with Gods you saw on the daily news? Gods who interacted with humanity regularly to make the world a better place. Reaching the end of the aisle of worshipers there was a stone throne, roughly carved. Atop it a hole. A place where one of the norn-stones of myth would one day sit. The figure held up their hand, and the chanting stopped. With another wave, an elaborate horned helmet formed atop his head. [b][color=#b6d7a8]“People of Midgard. For too long those who you worship as Gods have ignored you-”[/color][/b] There was the murmur of agreement. Quiet. [b][color=#b6d7a8]“-for too long, those you have chosen to lead you have abused you-”[/color][/b] there was a louder cheer this time. [b][color=#b6d7a8]“-for too long the Lords above have ignored you-”[/color][/b] the cheering was becoming a roar at this point. [b][color=#b6d7a8]“-for too long you have been left to squalor and rot in the dust while others succeed upon your backs! Reaping rewards from that that you have sown! Well, today I say no more!” [/color][/b] People stood roaring at this point and he merely raised a hand to stop them. [b][color=#b6d7a8]“Together we will accomplish wonderful things.”[/color][/b] Loki couldn't help but smile.
