Chapter 4 – Meetings

Air Temple Island

A day had passed since the Son of Odin had been exiled from Asgard by his father, All-Father Odin. Thor was in a state of disappointment, and anger. To himself in particular, he was beginning to understand his errors. Thor had always felt an unknown connection to Midgard, even when he was stuck in Asgard. He always wanted to find an excuse to come to the mortal world; well he was now stuck in it.

The Odinson stayed in the island until Tenzin found a way to help the powerless god. Thor was alone in his room, thinking. Then a shadow appeared in the corner, and began to take shape.

"Hello brother." The figure said.

"Loki…" Thor responded. "What do thou want, brother? Tricking I suppose."

"In the contrary, my muscled head brother, I have come to tell thee that father has entered the Odinsleep." Loki said.

"The Odinsleep? You don't plan…" Thor realized.

"Indeed Thor. Tis are the perfect times to attack Asgard with father asleep. Don't thou think?" Loki said.

"I will rally the giants, the trolls, and all of the enemies of Asgard and bring Ragnarok to the land." Loki revealed. "And you are powerless, my dear brother. Thou cannot stop me. Goodbye Thor."

Loki, God of Mischief and Fire, left a now furious Thor once again alone to ponder on the information given to him by his brother. Thor had now a reason to go back to Asgard. But he couldn't do anything. 'It's going to take weeks if not months for Loki to gather his army.' Thor taught. He had enough time to find a way to reclaim his hammer and return to Asgard and rally the Gods. But he needed help now that he was a mortal.

Pro Bending Arena – Training Area

Korra was training with her Pro Bending Teammates for the Tournament's finals now that they made it through the qualifying stage. Korra was not too concentrated on training, she still thought on how she had a God living in the same place she was.

"Hey, Korra, you don't look too focused on training." Bolin noticed.

"Oh, sorry." Korra responded.

"Something wrong?" Mako said.

"No nothing it's just that I have my mind on something else." Korra said.

"Is it Amon? He hasn't been heard off since "The Revelation" of his." Mako said.

That comment reminded Korra of what had happened in the Revelation. She was still stunned on seeing a man's, no matter if he was evil or not, bending being taken away. It still scared her more than anything that she too was almost de-bended.

"No, it's not him. It's something else." Korra responded to Mako's question.

"Well, whatever it is, solve it quick. We have the finals in a couple of days and I want us ready." Mako said as he packed his stuff.

"What's the rush for?" Korra asked.

"I'm going to this fancy restaurant with Asami tonight and I don't want to smell like sweat. Come on, Bolin." Mako said.

"In a minute." Bolin responded.

Korra looked quite mad and sad at the same time. She watched as the guy she has a crush on leave with someone else. She didn't know how to tell him how she felt.

"Hey Korra, you okay?" Bolin observed as he finished packing his uniform into his bag.

"Yeah, I'm okay." Korra responded with a sad voice.

"You know, since I don't have to do anything tonight how about if we…" Bolin was going to finish saying.

"Actually, I am pretty busy tonight. Maybe we can hang out sometime later okay? See ya!" She said as she left.

"Darn…" Bolin said seeing his charms not working on Korra.

Air Temple Island

Thor stepped out of the temple into the island's garden that looked towards the docks. He saw that it was mid-afternoon. Midgard seemed to be still in the winter season. He could feel the cold, so he grabbed a sweater-looking thing that looked too small for his figure that was larger. Still he put it on, he felt uncomfortable in it after being used to light clothes and his combat armor vest.

He taught about going to the city and explore a little bit. But he taught against it later. He saw a ferry sailing towards the dock. Thor took off the sweater he had on and placed on a wooden bench nearby feeling ridiculous in it. He noticed that it was the young woman that took him away from the annoying mortals crowding around him the night before. She was being accompanied by two other people.

The ship stopped and docked.

"Uh, Korra, who's that?" Bolin pointed at Thor who was standing on the grass looking towards the city.

"Oh, ah, how about if you guys meet him?" Korra said, she felt that something bad was going to happen.

The trio walked towards the calm Thor.

"Hail to thee, Korra. I see that thou have returned." Thor said. Mako and Bolin were kind off freaked out for the way he spoke.

"This is Thor; he is not from around here." Korra said trying not to reveal any information that Thor is a god.

"Good to meet you, Thor." Said Bolin he while shook Thor's hand which was larger than Bolin's own.

"Who are you?" Mako asked intensively.

"I already said who he is, Mako!" Korra said feeling kid off angry at Mako's over protectiveness.

"Do not worry, Lady Korra. I can answer his question." Thor assured.

'Lady?' Mako taught, 'Who does he think he is?' he taught furiously. Korra needed to get used to be called that. Bolin was amazed at Thor's way of talking and acting, he sounded like a noble.

"I am Thor Odinson. I come from Asgard, home of the gods." Thor answered, "I am the God of Thunder."

Korra planted her hand on her face; he had just revealed who he was. Mako and Bolin looked at each other.

"You've got to be kidding me." Mako said.

"Hold on, partner. You might me big, have a weird hair color and stuff, but that doesn't make you a god. And besides, there are no such things as gods." Bolin said.

"Oh no." Korra said silently.

"No such this as gods thou say. Very well, but let me show thou both something." He said as he raised his mighty arms onto the air.

Fire came out of his hands, the water of the bay began to surround him, the ground cracked and the air moved. Lightning began to go around his body. The trio was completely surprised by this. Korra knew that he was a god that lost his divinity, but she didn't know that he could bend the four elements. The two brothers were breathless.

"No such thing as gods?" Thor said with a grin on his face.

"Korra…how? But you are the Avatar and he…" Bolin said.

"Thor is a god, the God of Thunder and Lightning as a matter of fact." Korra said, giving up trying to cover Thor's identity.

Minutes Later

Inside the air temple, the group was chatting on what had happened.

"If you are god, have you had any contact with the spirits?" Bolin asked.

"We Asgardians have traveled through many realms. My father Odin once told me that he interacted with abstract creatures, he says that once he revealed his real identity, every spirit in that realm vowed down to him." Thor remembered.

"The spirits vowed down to him? Hard to believe." Bolin said.

"Maybe for thee mortal, but All-Father Odin created thee, he created you humans." Thor said.

"Say what?" Bolin said with confusion on his face.

"Indeed. Still I do not know what an Avatar is but I did notice a heavy presence of divine energy within thee when we first met, Korra." Thor said smiling.

"You can see energy and auras?" Korra asked surprised.

"Even in this mortal form, mine eyes cannot be fooled." Thor said.

"She's the Avatar. " Tenzin said coming out of his study.

"Ah, Tenzin friend, could thou enlighten me on what an Avatar is?" Thor asked.

"Certainly, it is an honor to inform a god on our world's protector." Tenzin said.

While Tenzin talked with Thor and Bolin listened, Mako signed to Korra to speak to him privately. Outside of the temple, they spoke.

"Now I know why you were distracted this morning." Mako said.

"Yeah, I didn't know how to tell you guys. I mean, the guy's a god." Korra said.

"It's okay. But I don't like the way he looks at you, it creeps me out." Mako said with a worried voice.

"And you care because?" Korra said with a questioning voice.

"Well, even if he's a god he should have boundaries." Mako said, "I don't like him. Not one bit."

"Just because he talks weird around doesn't mean anything, he's the son of the god of gods. He is a prince. Of course he would speak like that. And besides, why are you worried?" Korra asked.

"Well, we are friends and uhh…" Mako rambled.

"You are jealous aren't you?" Korra said with a mug face.

"No! Where do you get these things, by Agni's sake!" Mako said.

"You like me don't you?" Korra asked Mako.

"No! I am with Asami remember?!" Mako defiantly said.

"Yeah, but when you are with her you think of me, don't you?" Korra told Mako back.

"Get over yourself!" Mako said loudly.

"Not until you admit it!" Korra replied back with as much ferocity.

"Gah!" Mako gave up and went inside for Bolin.

"What is wrong?" Thor said as he came out from the doorway. He had put on an Airbender's cape, it was red and orange. It made him look more heroic.

"No, everything's fine." Korra said with a clearly upset and angry voice.

"Art thou sure?" Thor said.

"Yeah." Korra replied.

"Come inside, it be cold out here. Do not worry, the choleric fool is gone." Thor said.

"Thanks. Hey have you seen my parka?" Korra asked Thor, she seemed better when she was around the god. It must be the way he speaks.

"Parka? What is a parka?" Thor asked. "Oh…about that." he said once he realized what it was.
