"The Lord Of Valhalla" - By Buckeyestar
All that reading! I think my brain is stuck on pause!
Nah, I kid. My brain is too powerful to be waylayed by a mere work of fiction. Mua ha ha ha ha!
When beginning this project I did a little reading up on the Norse pantheon. In the actually story, Thor's final battle was against the Midgard Serpent. He strikes the killing blow, walks nine steps and falls over dead. Since TA had to be the one to kill Thor, I figured I could mess with the history some more.
I see what you were talking about in regards that particular sentence. It seems my brain went AWOL at that point and broke up one coherent sentence into 2 incomplete senteneces.

Nope no offense taken. Nothing to be offended about. It's the tale of TA and like the images, there should be many versions. That's how you create a legend!

[/ QUOTE ] The serpent being Jörmungandr, right?
Yes, I believe that was its name.
this was great and you have inspired me to post my bio.
Version 1.1 is up there. Buck went back and made some changes. This is his revision.
How the devil did you edit the OP this late? I thought the edit feature only worked for a few hours after posting. Or was it your magical Cuppa Incarnate power?

I hate to admit it but I finally read this. I'm not much of a reader but after writing my own history for my new hero I was in a reading mood. This was such a great story!! Very sad but yet inspiring....I hope that mine could be as good. Great job Buckeye and gratz TA on such an awesome story.

Thanks man!!
I really like how Buckeye wrote it out, It's exactly what I have been trying to do for 2 years and he did it in two days lol.
But yeah thats the history of the characters below:
Thor's Assassin - elec/elec/elec blaster - protector of earth
thors assassin - Storm/elec/elec defender - advancement of TA's powers
Assassin Of Thor - Ninja/dark/elec Mastermind - The form TA takes as a penance for killing his master and his evil form.
Lord Of Valhalla - elec/elec/elec Brute - The form TA takes when he returns to Valhalla to take the throne
Hmm wonder if I should just post screenies of my characters also!
You should. We have no idea what these guys look like.
Damnit Buck, now I need to wipe water off my monitor.

well I would like to see how that last one looks.
Very cool to see the character/powerset evolution of the infamous TA! The story being told in legend form is nice, too.

It needs more fixing, but the bones are solid. (Although sentences like this: "One day as Mikel neared the age for his Rite of Passage, when a young man begins the path to becoming a true warrior," cause me cognitive dissonance because it's a dangling phrase.)
I'd like to see the soulmate play a bigger role in tempering his wrath to drive that point home and you can't technically banish yourself, but overall it's pretty good. It does conflict with established mythology, but in cases like these I just assume that it takes place in an alternate universe where the story turns out differently.
