The Secret of Dovah {private}

"I haven't been completely honest with you, brother", she began to say as she was about to try and stand. With her brother's help, she could finally stand, but she leaned on him a little too close. "I've been...jealous...of you", she continued before her hand was on his own. She was gazing at his blue sapphire eyes.

"I've been through Helheim and back", Eomer answered as he managed to sit up until he was in front of the bucket. Throwing water in his face, he plunged his head in the bucket so he could get his whole head cleansed. For a few seconds, he finally lifted his head from the water, giving proof that his face was finally clean of mud and dirt. "What are you doing here?", he asked the Jotun, who waited patiently next to him, as he found an old rag nearby to wipe his face and hands on.

The crowd cheered at Loki's call, and everyone held up their mugs in a toast. Later, some men threw the body of the ex-captain of the royal guard into the mud with some pigs, landing face-first. This pleased the crowd as they laughed while leaving him there. Unknown to them, the landing seemed to have awakened Eomer from his unconciousness, but he didn't move from the position he was in, knowing it was useless.

((After Loki does what he needs to do, you can move the scene to the loading dock))

The man, whose bottle broke, slugs a punch to a man next to him. This, however, starts a fight throughout the whole hub. The festive music starts back up as the brawl ensues. "Time to go?", Bard called to Fandral, who was still on the ground. "Aye!", Fandral confirmed while scrambling to his feet, so they could smoothly walk out of the brawling hub. As he was, the sailor gave Loki a nod of thanks. In the middle of the hub, Eomer begins a swordfight with a few of the men, defeating a few. But, before it could go any further, the music stops as Eomer held the bottle of rum in his left hand and his sword in his right. "Come on, men, who wants some? Form an orderly line, I'll have you all one by one. Come on, who's first?", he taunted them, unaware that Loki was behind him.

Bard was about to move away, but a blade of a sword was swiftly swiped to stop him, just brushing against the skin of his neck. Bard stopped his walking as he felt the metal. "...or should I just kill you now?", Eomer slowly and coldly asked the sailor before Bard sighed in disappointment and annoyance. Really, this wasn't going to get him anywhere. He proceeded to move under the blade, but the sword kept its previous position at his neck. He couldn't help, but give a chuckle. "Your'e hired", he spoke, hoping to get out of this. Eomer made a chuckle of amusement. "Sorry. Old habits and all that", he said as the sword was about to dig any deeper into the flesh of Bard's neck.

Hades couldn't believe his ears. Killian Jones tried to get out of the debt. No wonder. "Did he, now?", he rhetorically asked with a nod. "I'm sorely tempted to accept that offer", he told Eric as his expression turned stern.

Back on the realm, Killian watches through his spyglass, just before he sees the dark god turn to look directly at him. As soon as he does, Killian proceeds to put the spyglass away, but Hades suddenly appears a few feet across from him. "Oh", the pirate simply said in slight surprise. "You have a debt to pay", Hades darkly tells him. "You've been captain of the Black Pearl for thirteen years. That was our agreement!", he continued as he started to walk at him, making Killian walk backwards. "Technically, I was only captain for two years, then I was viciously mutinied upon", Killian tried to explain in a casual manner. "Then you were a poor captain, but a captain nonetheless! Have you not introduced yourself all these years as Captain Killian Jones?", Hades asked him, knowing that Killian had to pay, even though the pirate himself tries to talk his way out of the situation. "You have my payment. One soul to serve on your ship is already over there", Killian continued to rationalize while pointing to the Flying Dutchman in the distance. "One soul is not equal to another", the god pointed out. "Aha! So we've established my proposal is sound in principle, now we're just haggling over price", he knew where he was going with this. "Price?", honestly, the god was now confused. "Just how many souls do you think my soul is worth?", Kiillian asked him in a casual manner. "One hundred souls", Hades slowly answered with a smirk. "You're a diamond, mate. Send me back the lad, I'll get started right off", Killian happily announced, but he didn't expect the next part. "No!", Hades suddenly said, not done with the deal yet. Killian grimaced in slight disappointment. "I keep the male; a good-faith payment. That leaves you only ninety-nine more to go", the god taunted. "Have you not met Eric Odinson? He's noble, and heroic. Terrific soprano. Worth at least four, maybe three and a half", again Killian was jumbling numbers. "And did I happen to mention...he's in love", he added slowly, getting Hades' attention. "With another. Due to be consorted; betrothed", now he was walking around him, trying to get into his skin. "Dividing him from his love would only be half as cruel as actually allowing them to be joined in holy matrimony, aye?", he asked, knowing that the god will crack. However, it didn't last long. "I keep the male. Ninety-nine souls", he announced, confirming. Killian lowered his head in disappointment. "But I wonder, Jones, can you live with this? Can you condemn an innocent man? A friend? To a lifetime of servitude, in your name while you roam free?", just to be sure if Killian is alright with this. Killian seems to be deep in thought for a moment. "Yep!", he suddenly said. "I'm good with it", he nodded. "Three days", Hades reminded him before he disappeared. Killian felt pain on his hand as he looked to see the dark spot fade completely. "Three days", the god darkly repeated in the wind. Thinking for a moment, the pirate ran towards the loading dock.

Back at the hub, Fandral was recruiting new sailors for their crew since they were a bit low on people. Bard was sitting nearby with his boots on a table while going through the Navigation Charts, turning a few pieces. "...sooner than you think. Sign the roster", Fandral told the new recruit as he signed the paper that was next to the blonde warrior. "How're we going?", Bard called without looking up from the charts. "Including those four? That gives us at least - four!", Fandral informed him. Turning to the next candidate in line, "And what's your story?", he asked. "My story...", a deep slurred voice answered. "It's exactly the same as your story, just one chapter behind. I chased a man across the Seven Seas", he began. Bard, who has been listening, pauses on his examination and looks to the man before Fandral. "The pursuit costed me, my crew, my commission, and my life", he continued began grabbing the rum bottle that was next to Fandral, taking a swing of it. The male was Eomer. Captian of Asgard's royal guard. He looked not to be in good shape since his face was covered in sweat and soot. "Captain Eomer?", Fandral asked, dumbfounded. "No, not anymore, weren't you listening?!", Eomer snapped. Swiftly, knowing that it was time to get out, Bard put the charts back in their holster. "I nearly had you all. I would have, if not for the storm", the ex-captain sternly told Fandral while looking at him dead in the eye. "You didn't try to sail through it?", Fandral asked him, knowing that it couldn't be true. Eomer ignored the question. "So do I make your crew, or not?", he grilled at him. "Oh, you haven't said where you're going. Somewhere nice!", he taunted before he tilted the table over, knocking Fandral over. The commotion made everyone stop what they were doing as the festive music faded, while everybody stared at the altercation. Bard swiftly and silently tried to make his escape. "So am I worthy to serve under Captain Bard of the seas?", Eomer rhetorically announced to everybody in the room.

Hades pauses for a moment as he just heard what he thought he heard. "What is your purpose here?", he smoothly repeats the question, just to be sure.

The Secret of Dovah {private}

Thor listened to his younger brother before he turned his attention to Lhora, who was still trying to recover within his arms. "I'll hold onto our sister. You do what you got to do", he told him. "Thor-?", Lhora weakly reached for her eldest brother.

"The rage of Dovah, was not in vain", Frigga softly told the Allfather. "What you did back then, has nothing to do with her rage now", she told him.

((As Loki is gone for right now, can you play as Thor for this part?))

The cloaked figure kept his pace before he stopped completely in front of one of the cowering men. Smoothly leaning down before the man, he smoothly and casually lighted an old pipe that was being held in his pale hand. But, as the light came to light it, the figure's facials were clear. It was a pale male with blue eyes and a grayish-black beard, matching his long chest-length grayish-black hair. Inhaling his pipe, he exhaled the smoke into the face of the cowering prisoner. "Do you fear death?", he spoke slowly to the cowering man as if he was speaking in the tongue of a deceiver. "Do you fear that dark abyss?", it sounded as if he was spilling the venom of lies. "All your deeds laid bare. All your sins punished", he continued as his tone escalated while saying the last word in a spat. "I can offer you an escape", he offered, which perked the cowering man's attention.

"Don't listen to him!", another of the prisoners spoke, which made the black-cloaked figure sharply look at him, unpleased. Angered, the pale man stood to his full height before swiftly grasping the prisoner's neck with a pale hand. "Do you not fear death?", he asked him in curiosity. "I'll take my chances, sir", the prisoner stuttered, making the imposing figure of a man let go of him. He looked to one of his crewman, "To the depths", he told them before they tilted the prisoner's head back, then slitting his throat. Others grimaced in fear and disgust, but the cloaked figure just watched in a pleased manner as two of his minions throw the body overboard.

"Cold blooded!", another one of the prisoners spat in exclamation, making the figure once again turn towards him. "Life is cruel", he smoothly told him. "Why should the afterlife be any different?!", he asked him rhetorically as it escalated. "I offer you a choice", he told them before moving on the next prisoner. "Join my crew, and postpone the judgement. One hundred years before the mast. Will you serve?", he offered to him. "I w-will serve", he stuttered. "There, then", the figure said, pleased.

That was until he moved to Eric, looking upon him. "You are neither dead, nor dying. What is your purpose here?", he asked the Huntsman as if demanding an explanation.
