Thor watched Jane and Frigga walk along the corridor to his right. He looked out to her with intent, eyes fixed on her hunched movement. His eyes whisked away as he noticed his mother looking at Odin. His gaze immediately turned to his father.

"My son!" His rough, cold hands fixed on Thor's cheeks, holding his head tightly and bringing him close for a kiss on the head. "In exactly a week, you shall rule Asgard!" Odin strode towards the throne room. "All this shall be yours."

Thor and Odin walked down a passageway cascaded with tall, broad, golden pillars.

"It will be an honour to become the people's King, but there shall be none better than you, Father." His footsteps echoed behind him.

Odin gave a slight chuckle and fiercely patted his son on the back. "You will have enemies in your way, but the wrath of a true King lies in your heart!" He stopped, faced Thor and aggressively pressed against his chest.

Thor nodded, but didn't respond.

"However," Odin said, marching in long strides, "your heart will be distracted. Which is why you must be certain that this Earthling, Jane, is worthy to become Queen even though she does not have the knowledge of one..." His voice trailed off as he noticed Thor looming over him.

"What are you implying, Father? That Jane is not of your standards?" Thor's voice bellowed across the room, his clenched fist hit against a pillar so hard that it's roar shook the ground. "I love Jane with all my heart. She will become a righteous Queen, and as long as I live I shall stand as her shield." His voice grew and his body extended. "If you do not approve of my love for Jane, then I shall not let your disapproval effect our marriage!"

Odin stepped back, disappointed in himself.

"I apologise. Frigga constantly mentions how my passion as a King has affected my devotion for love. But she is from Earth, it is her birth home."

Thor's mind went elsewhere, his eyes lowering to his feet. "She is from Earth, I understand. But she need not feel trapped. She can return to her home world if she wishes."

"She is loyal to you, Thor. There is no wrong in that." He placed his hand on his son's shoulder. "She will be a beautifully fitted Queen, and a mother to your children." Thor smiled and ran into a heroic hug.

His father laughed and crossed the room towards the throne. "You will have many responsibilities after your marriage. You shall be King and Queen, and I know son, that you shall lead Asgard to a safe haven."
