Serenity and Thor

Queen Serenity stood out on a balcony, shuddering suddenly as she felt an evil presence draw near. It was powerful but she couldn't tell who or what it was. It was distrubing, as if slimy hands were reaching towards her and she was out of places to run.

"Your majesty, Thor waits," Luna said quietly from where she and Artemis stood behind her. She nodded and as she walked back inside, she shoved the thoughts of the strange presence out of her mind.There was nothing she could do and that scared her almost as much as the feeling of the hands reaching towards her.

The meeting went well, Serenity reflected as it drew to a close. Thor had made no definite promises but Serenity was hopefully that they could set up a treaty between their people. She felt that somehow Thor and the Asgard could help her with the strange presence. But she didn't mention that to Thor.

"There is one last thing I wish to inform you of," Thor said seriously. "There is a race of parasites called that Gou'ald that live off of hosts, mainly humans. The most powerful of the Gou'ald are called the 'System Lords' and the most powerful of the System Lords, Ra, is returning to this solar system."

Serenity sat up straighter suddenly. That must be it, it made sense. The strange force she felt had to be the Gou'ald,Ra.

"What do you mean by returning?" Luna asked Thor.

"Once the Gou'ald enslaved the humans of Earth, using them as hosts. They left a long time ago. When the light of Serenity was seen across the universe, the Gou'ald noticed it. Now Ra returns to steal your weapons and techology and enslave your people as hosts,"Thor explained. Luna gasped in horror.

'That must not happen!" Serenity said firmly, standing. Thor, Luna, and Artemis were silent as they looked at her. Her eyes burned, the moon on her forehead shone brighter, and there was faint silver light surrounding her. At that moment, no one in the room wished to cross her. "Thor, I ask for you help in defeating this evil," she said.

"No, the Asgard will not get involved in the affairs of this solar system," Thor said even though he was slightly uneasy at the look of passionate determination in Serenity's eyes. He knew that in her Ra would meet his match. Thor bowed to Serenity and vanished in a flash of light blue light.

"That little-' Artemis started, angry but was silenced by Luna clamping her hand over his mouth quickly. Serenity stood looking at the empty space where Thor had stood, her eyes buring brighter. She didn't need the Asgard's help, she would defeat Ra by herself!
