Screwbeard, Son of No-Ears. Exile from Nidavellir. I need your help."[/b][/color][/quote] The Dwarf raised one of his great big bushy eyebrows as the Thunder-God announced the reason for his visit. His stance relaxed somewhat, however, he was still one edge and cautious. [color=00a99d]"Truly? What can I do for the son of Odin-"[/color] [b][color=6ecff6]"I am no longer the Son of Odin, I am Freyjason."[/color][/b] [color=00a99d]"It doesn't matter who you get along with, or who cast you out boy. It doesn't change who sired you. The question stands, what can I do for the Odinson?"[/color] A grimace crossed Thors face, and as it did the slightest smirk from the Dwarf, then his shoulders relaxing slightly. That is when Thor realised it was just another test. These were games of politics, the kind which Loki excelled. Sadly Loki was not at his side now to help him navigate politics. Thor looked down at his hands, raising them slightly palm up. Electricity crackled between his fingers as he did so, Screwbeard recoiled slightly but Thor ensured to keep his focus on his hands. A solemn look upon his face. [color=6ecff6][b]"I am aware of my potential, as the God of Thunder. I have tapped into my abilities in the past, both with and without Mjolnir by my side."[/b] [/color]Thor lowered his hands and looked towards the dwarf, a look of pleading upon his face. [color=6ecff6][b]"Since I was cast out, and Mjolnir stripped from me I feel as if my abilities have been diminished. I am aware it is likely all in my head and yet-"[/b][/color] Thor sighed heavily. [color=6ecff6][b]"-I need your help. I need a way to channel my abilities. I need a weapon."[/b][/color] Screwbeard eyed Thor suspiciously. [color=00a99d]"Aye? Is that so? And what, tell me, is my incentive for doing this task?"[/color] Thor puffed out his chest slightly. [color=6ecff6][b]"I will return you to your home, free. On my word as God of Thunder you will no longer be an outcast."[/b][/color] Screwbeard smirked. [color=00a99d]"It's a start."[/color] [hr] [b][right]PRESENT DAY // OSLO // NORWAY[/right][/b] [quote=Previously][b]"ENOUGH!"[/b] Lightning shot up towards the sky, striking all the draugr surrounding Thor. The ones closest turned to ash, the farther ones away stumbled down to the ground. Dead or incapacitated, he wasn't entirely sure, but he didn't care. Pointing to a draugr still at the top of the steps he raised his voice as the wind howled and the rain poured. [color=6ecff6][b]"Tell me who is responsible for this! I would have words."[/b][/color][/quote] The Draugr turned its head back up the steps and raised a withered hand towards one who walked lazily out of the museum. He almost seemed bored with the situation, by now Thor could hear the sounds of more sirens approaching. SWAT Teams, police and ambulance. All rushing to the unfolding scene of chaos. Thor stepped out from among the carcasses of the fallen draugr, some of their remains smoking slightly from the power of the blast. This one looked different from the others. Its flesh was less withered, merely rotting. Eyes while the stare was distant, some spark of humanity lingered. This was no mere conjuration, but a spirit back from Hel. Thundered cracked and boomed in the sky. [color=00aeef][b]"State thy purpose, villain."[/b][/color] The Helspawn offered no response as it continued to walk lazily straight towards Thor. [color=00aeef][b]"I told you, to state your business."[/b][/color] Thor raised his hand towards the undead, but in a surprising burst of speed, his foe closed the distance, grabbing Thor's wrist and lifting him off the ground. Thors wrist felt as if it was caught in a vice, an experience he was not altogether familiar with. [i]"He is risen."[/i] Thor used his other hand to try and pry the beasts' grip from around his wrist. When that was unsuccessful he started to lay in blows with his free hand into its stomach. [I]"He is risen, and sails once more. For the home that has not seen his like since ages past."[/i] The beasts second hand clenched around Thors throat. Thunder boomed overhead as nearby windows shook with each blow Thor placed on the beast's torso, and yet it still did not release its grip. Lightning started to flash across his left fist, his heart pounding in his ear. [I][color=00aeef]crack[/color][color=ed1c24]thump-thump[/color][color=00aeef]crack[/color][color=ed1c24]thump-thump[/color][color=00aeef]crack[/color][color=ed1c24]thump-thump[/color][color=00aeef]crack[/color][color=ed1c24]thump-thump[/color][/i] The corner of his vision began to fade, rage filled his veins as they flashed blue with electric current. His blows continuing to land when suddenly: [b][color=00aeef][I]KKKKKKKKKKRAAAACKTHOOOOOOOOM[/i][/color][/b] The sky suddenly broke a bolt of lightning lancing down from the sky, striking Thor's arm and coursing through his body into his fist as it made contact. The beast's grip went loose as it was sent flying through two nearby walls, jumping after him Thor fought to catch his breath. Reaching down, his body still sparking with electric current, Thor grabbed his aggressor by the throat in a fitting turn of events. [color=00aeef][b]"Enough games Villain, who is your master and what does he seek?"[/b][/color] What little light remained from the beasts eyes started to fade. [I]"One you have faced before Odinson, and when he returns home. He shall teach you the meaning of pain."[/i] Before Thor could get another word in edge ways the beasts head lopped to the side, eyes vacant. Letting it drop it turned to ash and dust. Thor exclaimed in frustration, kicking a pebble that when assisted by God Strength and lightning went careering through a nearby wall.
