Chapter 9: Thursday's Child
"Then why do you loom like the actor?" Heather asked.
"Her mother knows. How a god appears is a matter of belief. To the Norse, I had red hair. To the Romans, I was an aspect of Jupiter. Today, thanks to the movies, I look like Chris Hemsworth."
"So it's like because of the movies, Harry Potter would look like Daniel Radcliffe?"
Thor nodded.
"Since you said you were considered an aspect of Jupiter, are we... um.. related?" Thalia asked.
"The Norse do things a bit differently. Much of their power is from the days of the week; Mani's Day, Tyr's Day, Woden's Day, Thor's Day, and so on. Blessed warriors that were born on our days. That was the way even before the others and I fell into a slumber."
"I was born on a Wednesday," Thalia said.
"Then you are blessed by Odin," Thor said, " and why your electric powers are weak in the Norse Realm."
"You, however," Thor turned to Heather, "Are Thursday's child and more. The arrow you are following will be in front of Yggdrasil, along with the Norns. After you wake the other Gods, it will come in handy."
"And wake the Old Gods, a price to pay"Thalia and Heather both recited.
Thor nodded, understanding. "I am only the first one to waken. The people's belief was weak, but it was enough. I can stay no longer."
Thor vanished.
"Heather," Thalia asked, "did you kiss me?"
"Yeah, " she said, "I couldn't think of anything else to do."
"Do you like girls?"
Heather hesitated, and then nodded.
Before Thalia or Heather could say anymore, the pilot's voice buzzed through the intercom.
~~Ladies and gentlemen, due to the storm, we have to make an emergency landing. We are descending toward Iceland.~~
Thalia looked outside of the window. "Heather, look"
Outside, shrouded in Mist, a giant tree stretched all the way into the sky, and Heather was reminded of the giant tree from the Avatar movie.
"Thor said that the weapon slash arrow we were following would be in front of it. Along with the Norns, the Norse version of Fate."
"It shouldn't be that hard to find then."
It wasn't.
A/N: Sorry for the wait, and the short chapter. Haven't had much time to work on the story during the holidays.
and yes, Loki would probably look like Tom Hiddleston...
up next... Chapter 10: We get a SECOND prophecy!
