FIVE YEARS AGO // ALASKA

"What does an Asgardian know of justice?"

Thor mentally chastised himself as he let go of the trolls wrist, now grabbing his axe with his two hands he lunged in a stab as the central troll pushed forward. The sharpened pommel caught the troll in the throat, blood spurted out catching Thor in the face. Pulling the weapon out to the side, the troll's head flopped lazily. Followed by the rest of his body.

Panic struck the faces of the remaining three.

Previously

Thor spat blood as he picked himself up off the ground, while two of the trolls had assailed him the third had thrown a boulder hitting him square in the face. Standing up, and steadying himself he looked around for his foes who appeared to be climbing their way out in leaps and bounds. "I say thee nay-" He threw Jarnbjorn at the nearest troll, it missed and lodged itself into the nearby wall. Swearing at himself he jumped up, working his way to grab the axe. Meanwhile, Trolls threw stones down at him as they continued to climb and get away.

Finally reaching the axe, Thor secured it on his back as he pushed his way up higher and higher. When he reached the top he saw the three Trolls running, pulling Jarnbjorn from his back he tossed it, it spun in the air in a curve. Striking one of the trolls in the back, he fell. Digging deep Thor pushed himself onwards, clouds rushed and billowed chasing after him as he ran for his axe. The other trolls didn't even turn for the third, huffing and panting as they continued to sprint away from the chasing Asgardian. Pulling his weapon from a trolls corpse Thor leapt up into the air, axe over his head he brought it down to the ground. Lightning struck it and lanced out from the ground, knocking one of the running trolls of his feet.

Thor ran straight passed him, he was down and thus no longer a threat. It wouldn't be honourable to add further injury, he would return for him shortly.

There was a rumbling ahead as a cloud of dust, snow and ice exploded. A ship emerged from the ice, the troll jumping onboard. Hail began to pour from the heavens above, the ship raised into the air. An Asgardian Skiff. It raised in the air before it spun and headed for the down troll, swinging his axe he missed, turning to try and head back fo the fallen troll who was unsteadily raising himself to his feet. Thor aimed for the skiff, throwing his axe, and spinning through the air. Missing the skiff entirely the axe spun off into the distance. Thor groaned in frustration as the troll aboard the skiff leaned down, clasping his hand round the arm of the troll on the ground. The two laughed as the skiff raised itself higher into the air, and up into the clouds. Thunder tolled and boomed, Thors eyes flashed blue as lightning crossed the sky in sheets and waves. After several moments passed a smoking chunk of debris fell from the clouds.

Thor sighed as he resigned himself to go find his axe, while he told himself he had warned the trolls. There had been no choice.

PRESENT DAY // TØNSBERG // NORWAY

Thor sighed as he stood up, looming over the mortal woman. "I did not mean to be so harsh, I just-"

"I understand." They lingered for a moment staring at each other before she cleared her throat. "I should, I'll go. I'll meet you out at the S.H.I.E.L.D site when you're ready?"

Thor nodded, neglecting to watch as she turned and walked away.

Previously

Tønsberg had a long-standing history with Asgard and the other eight realms upon the world tree. It had been host to invasion from Ice Giants, Trolls, Dark Elves and all manners of beings from the nine realms. Thor had called it home on many an occasion and now in the new age of heroes, it celebrated its history and connection to the Asgardian plane. What little it knew anyway. Still, new archaeological digs guided by Thor had led to new historical discoveries. While he did not primarily reside in Norway, he tended to go wherever the need took him, the city had claimed him as its own personal hero.

Walking through the streets he paused to allow several passing tourists to photograph him, he signed posters and boxes of toys. The mortals loved their material possessions, and their 'selfies'. It was always good to be fond of oneself however so he tended not to judge. There had been a time when he had been incredibly vain and arrogant. His father still was.

Excusing himself he finally made way to the research institute, passing through the doors and security with ease. After all, Thor was a familiar face here, nodding and smiling at friends and allies as he walked through the corridors he finally passed through the door that lead to Doctor Erik Selvig. Who as always was surrounded by artefacts, books, scrolls and screens. Upon hearing the door he looked up, practically jumping when he realised who it was. "Thor! I didn't expect you back so soon!"

The two approached one another, clasped hands and then pulled each other into a one-armed embrace. Releasing each other Thor smiled down at his friend. "Aye. My plan to get ahead of this year's droughts has been... delayed by events in Oslo."

Erik indicated to a nearby seat, Thor made his way and sat in it. He could feel it struggle below his weight, but it held true. "I saw that on the news. Terrible business, at least ten dead I hear."

Thor nodded. "It has been an age since I have faced a Draugr, and yet the leader spoke of another coming. One who I have faced before. I was hoping you had something more, if it is a villain I have faced before. I would like to know their name."

Selvig nodded along. "I took the liberty of pulling some files once I saw the news-" He indicated to the mess of papers surrounding him. "-just in case you came looking for my help." Thor smiled at his friend as Erik worked his way into the centre of the papers. "From what I can tell our Draugr friend from Oslo was from a particularly nasty group of Norsemen. They routinely went a-Viking but killed indiscriminately. Other Norse, men, women, children. Unlike other Norse Clans there seemed to be no form of system of honour, other than strength-"

Thor ground his teeth together. "I know the type well."

177A Bleecker Street - NYC // 1042HRS

"-and in doing so you are neglecting the Master of the Chinese and Japanese Sanctums who have come to seek the counsel of the Sorcerer Supreme."

"You could always-"

"No. There is tradition, it must be you. Five minutes. They'll be expecting you."

Previous Post

Stephen knocked on the door before entering. Sleep looming under his eyes, he ignored the look from Wong as he bowed his head slightly to the delegates from the other sanctums. He and Longwei had studied together during Stephen's time at the Japanese sanctuary, and in-actuality he was surprised Longwei hadn't given him a prior warning about this meeting.

That said, Eri from the Japanese sanctuary was young, upcoming and ambitious. So it wasn’t all surprising, it was likely her idea.

”Greetings exalted Guardians. I would like to wish you welcome to my Sanctum.”

The two representatives bowed. ”I hope that-” He paused as Eri raised her hand to stop him.

“Perhaps we can skip the pomp-and-ceremony and just get down to business?” Stephen internally gave a sigh of relief, finally someone who understood that many of the Magi traditions were obsolete, and did nothing but waste time, but at the same time… why.

He looked over to Wong who merely shrugged. I don't know what's going on either Stephen.

Stephen signalled to the seats. ”Straight down to business. I can do that. Why don’t you tell me why you’re here Eri-” He paused as Wong raised an eyebrow. “-If I can call you Eri?”

She nodded as she sat down. “Yes, you can call me Eri.”. She smiled politely. It was a pretty smile, the kind one used to get what they wanted. “The Japanese Sanctum would like Yao transferred there, or to China-''. She pointed to Longwei who bowed his head slightly. “-Japan has one of the largest Magi communities out there. The recent mutant activity on Genosha has reignited the belief of many that perhaps our community is not best left in the dark, and that we should announce ourselves to the world and become true world citizens. We believe having Yao close we could easily question him, to find some of the more troublesome individuals before they do any harm.”.

Longwei cleared his throat next. “It is the belief of many within the Chinese Sanctum-” political speak for many, but not mine. “-that Yao should be returned home to answer for his crimes. During the revolution he used the unrest and chaos to eliminate many political rivals and entire families. Some groups are still merely listed as being missing. We wish to put him through the Trial of Shangti.”

Stephen nodded along. ”I understand where you are coming from-”

“But you are going to deny our request?”

Stephen had to steel himself, so as not to audibly scoff. He could practically see the disdain on Wongs face at the blatant lack of respect for tradition. ”It was always my belief, as taught to me by Arhi’ahn-”

Wong nodded. Good play, dropping the name of the master.

”-that together we all form an international community. Therefore it truly doesn’t matter where he is being held.” Stephen raised his hand as he saw Eri about to interrupt him again. ”That said, he is too powerful to be moved elsewhere. Afterall, I am the Sorcerer Supreme and it is my duty to uphold the Sanctums. Keeping him here, and secure is my duty-”

”-and you don’t trust anyone else?”

Wong raised an eyebrow. What is she up to?

”I trust you both, you are doing a fine job fulfilling your duties and keeping your sanctums secure. Surely you can both understand that Yao is far too powerful. Even if I were to move him myself there is still a chance he would escape.”

”Perhaps we can figure out an alternative solution.” Stephen smiled at his friend, always trying to find the diplomatic solution, the middle ground, the solution that everybody could agree too.

Son of a bitch.

That was why she included Longwei. She learnt of Chinas interest in Yao and used that, his connection with Longwei and his renown for finding middle ground. Stephen had come into this meeting expecting a game of checkers, and yet she had come prepared for a game of chess.
