[QUOTE="hero4hire, post: 1812470, member: 20711"] [U][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Asgard: Odin’s Throneroom, days ago.[/FONT][/U] A beautiful blond knelt prostrate before an immense throne. On the throne sat a whitebearded giant of a man wearing a gold-gilded eyepatch over one eye. Odin the All-Father, leader of the Asgardian Pantheon regarded the prone beauty momentarily and rose to his feet.
