《TITANIA: Goddess of War》Chapter 8: World of mortals
Advertisement
As Loki emerged from the Bifrost, Heimdall stood away from the control panel and glared at him. Loki gave him a weird look and smiled.
"What troubles you, Gatekeeper?"
"I turned my gaze upon you in Jotunheim but could neither see nor hear you. You were shrouded from me, like the Frost Giants who entered this Realm." Heimdall was watching him closely, his suspicion slowly coming true.
"Perhaps your senses have weakened after your many years of service."
"Or perhaps someone has found a way to hide that which he does not wish me to see." Gatekeeper implied. Loki just smiled.
"You have great power, Heimdall. Tell me, did Odin ever fear you?" he was joking with him.
"No."
"And why is that?" Loki asked.
"Because he is my King, and I'm sworn to obey him," answered Heimdall, still not leaving his eyes from God of mischief.
"Exactly. Just as you're sworn to obey me now. Yes? A beat."
"Yes."
"Good. Then you will open the Bifrost to no one until I have undone what my brother has started." With those words said, Loki headed out of the Observatory. Heimdall was staring at him, knowing how furious he will be when he'll find out that Neilrosa is no longer on Asgard.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neilrosa was sitting with Thor and doctor Selvig in a pub, those two have already ordered a few beers and shots of whiskey. She had just an iced lemonade, alcohol never suited her.
"Seems Darcy's a terrible inter, but a talented hacker."
"Yeah, she saved our asses there although I need to meet her first," Princess chuckled.
"Thank you for what you've done." Thor raised his cup of beer to Selvig.
"Don't thank me. I only did it for Jane." Jane? Neilrosa frowned her eyebrows and looked at Thor.
"Are you in love with her?" both Neilrosa and Selvig nearly choked on their drinks.
"Of course not! Jane's like a daughter to me. Her father and I taught at university together. A good man, but he never listened." This hit Thor hard. He knew exactly what Selvig means.
"Neither did I." Neilrosa set her cup on the bar in front of her and leaned back in her chair. Selvig looked with interest on Thor.

"You know, you don't need to beat yourself up for anything." She started, gaining the attention of both men.
"All of us have our flaws, we just need to learn from them. I can sense and now I heard you care really deeply for Jane, doctor Selvig. There's no need to worry, Thor means no harm, to anyone." Thor nodded eagerly.
"Good. If that's the case, then I'll buy you one more drink and you'll leave town tonight." Selvig turned to him.
"I had it all backwards. I had it all wrong." Thor sank. For the doctor, this was a different Thor than he saw before.
"But first, you two need to tell me how did you meet, although I can guess. Did he fall from the sky?" Neilrosa asked and sipped from her lemonade. The two men looked at each other.
"How did you-" Selvig started but she interrupted him.
"I think saying that I'm something like him is weird. I know you didn't believe him when he said he is a God of Thunder and from Asgard so I'm not sure if you would believe me. Let's start with names then. I'm Neilrosa," she extended her hand to the doctor. He took it hesitantly and shook it.
"So, how did you meet?" her purple eyes were flickering between them.
"Actually they hit me with their... how do you call it? Ah, car," Thor laughed.
"We were observing an anomaly when he appeared and we hit him. Then we brought him to the hospital, but he escaped and we hit him, again. Now he is staying with us in an abandoned dinner at the end of the city." Neilrosa was trying not to laugh, she could imagine it very clearly.
"But I'm glad he ran into you, you seem like a nice man," she smiled.
"Oh, and sorry for all the confusion, I'm Thor's childhood friend, we grow up together. I was looking for him because his father banished him and I need him to come home." Now Selvig was really confused, he didn't know if to believe what this woman in front of him is saying or not.
"For the first time in my life, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do," Thor's head fallen.
"Anyone who's ever going to find their way in this world has to start by admitting they don't know where the hell they are." Both Thor and Neilrosa nodded. A drunk man wobbled to them.

"Hey, I know you, man..." He was one of the town citizens who saw Thor with Jane, Darcy and Selvig in the diner in the city.
"You were in the diner with that hot girl. And now I see you have another one right here." He moved to Neilrosa and put his arms around her shoulders.
"I wouldn't mind those two doing a little research on me." He tried to be sexy but failed miserably. Thor started to get annoyed and the same went for Neilrosa and Selvig.
"I have no quarrel with you. But she's a lade and one is sitting with us right now too. You should be more respectful."
"And you should shut the hell up, princess." Doctor and princess looked at Thor, worried that he would lose his temper, but he remained unaffected.
"I will not fight you."
"Then it'll be easy to kick your ass." Before any of the men could react, Neilrosa slid down from the chair, grabbed the drunk man's arm, twisted it behind his back and his body collided with the bar table.
"Try to touch me again and you won't write with this hand ever again." She growled into his ear. The man nodded quickly and she released him. He glanced at her, totally scared and ran off god knows where.
As she adjusted her jacket and hair, looked at the two men watching her with surprise, they burst into a loud laugh and ordered another round of drinks.
It was a good idea not to drink, that flashed through Neilrosa's mind when she was driving two drunk men to the abandoned diner at the end of the city as Selvig said. She learned to drive during the WW2, Peggy taught her. Thor and Selvig sit at the back, singing some Norwegian folk song and pretty badly. It was hard to get the directions from the doctor but in five minutes, Neilrosa already parked the car near the diner and tried to get men out of the car. Thor had an excellent tolerance towards alcohol, so he picked Selvig up and with one of his hands around Thor's shoulder, he helped him towards Jane's trailer.
Jane was laying down in her trailer, trying to read. A lot of boxes of pizza and various books were laying all around the trailer. Right then a loud bang brought her back to reality and she jumped to open the door to relieve a very drunk Slevig slung over Thor's shoulder and a red-headed woman behind them.
"Erik!" she exclaimed.
"Is he all right?" she asked Thor.
"He's fine. Not injured at all." The woman behind him speaker. She smiled at Jane and extended her hand to Jane.
"I'm sorry to interrupt your evening, miss...?" she stopped not sure how to call Jane.
"Jane Foster," Jane replied with a small smile.
"Miss Foster. I'm Neilrosa, Thor's childhood friend and, well that's for a long talking, but let's say I'm something like he claims to be," she chuckled nervously. Jane was a bit surprised as now she had taken in how the woman looks like. Her hair wasn't red, it was the colour of flame, falling her back and her eyes were purple, beautiful galaxy purple.
Thor meanwhile entered Jane's trailer with Selvig.
"What happened?" Jane turned her attention to them.
"We drank, we fought. he made his ancestors proud." Thor chuckled and looked at Jane, not sure where to put Selvig.
"Put him on the bed," she gestured towards one at the back of the trailer. Selvig laughed and slurred something as that he still doesn't believe Thor is a God of Thunder, Thor just laughed and patted his cheek.
"These are your chambers?" He looked around picked a sock off the floor. Jane quickly snatched it from him.
"Can we go outside?" She asked him and both of them went outside to sit by a fire in blankets. Neilrosa excused herself, she didn't want to interrupt anything as she saw some connection between those two. She stood in the shadow of the trailer, her eyes trained on both Jane and Thor. She was happy that maybe Thor finally has found someone close to him, someone, to love. A small smile found a place on her face as she looks up to the sky, knowing that Heimdall can see all of it.

Mechanical Friend The wonders of every therapy machines
Enter the attention of the spiritual world of having a car and what it means when it is seen more than just a car. It is a lot of things. Cars are more than just a mode of transportation to get from point A to point B. Ever since I was a kid and grew up with my family driving in our 84 Buick Regal, I knew I had some sort of special understanding with these vehicles. I know many of you out there have communicated with your vehicles in one fashion or another, but with me personally, Ive always understood and heard the soul of these classic cars. Its made me feel more empathy and understanding of some of the situations they get in, but also understand the joy they feel when they are with whom they call their road partners. When we go to car shows or dealerships, it's mainly for the cars. We don't know what we want or how old we want the car to be. There is a mechanical friend for each of us to learn more about their scientific background. This takes the reader far beyond the facts of what the car breed is. Everything has a spirituality side of it. A Tao; The Tao or Dao is a Chinese word signifying the "way", "path", "route", "road" or sometimes more loosely "doctrine" of cars. If we are looking for a classic car tht we dream of then the message is "Having an old American car is that it doesn't have to be very pretty. It's a satisfactory pleasure of building it and getting together to talk about the American classic, muscle car or not, it's how you connect with others into a community that holds together community. It is much safer to be riding around in a standard classic car from the 60s an 70s because you are aware of your responsibility driving it plus if you're hit, the armor protecting you is the car itself with no huge lethal damage to the car or yourself" Others' tastes are going to be different and unusual.but it is best to find what cars are going to say when we bond with them in every day in all the ways possible. This book teaches how to connect with the vehicle and how to detect gender energies within the machine and waht the machine can do for you.

Gods of Arkanoth
The hunter has been betrayed, left alone in the streets of a lugubrious district. Only one goal appears in his eyes: to avenge himself. In his quest to avenge himself, he'll encounter an enigmatic scientist who seems to hide his true nature, a savior pretending to be a God, and the terrible truth of those words, bringing him against something he'd never thought he'd have to affront. This is the odyssey of the hunter, in a quest to put a long overdue end to a war between two worlds. // What to expect:The beginning will surely be intriguing, most of what's happeing won't be directly explained, although there will be some hints about their true roles, but do not worry about some subjects never leaving that misty fog that is unanswered questions! The novel is divided in two parts, the first focusing on uncovering the well-hidden secrets the city of Arkanoth hides, be it concerning its making or its inhabitants. As for the second part, it will be an expedition into the unknown, we could, in a way, say the true start of the journey our three heroes will undertake! I won't say anything more about the second part or else I might tell you an important detail without realizing... As for magic, because yes, there is magic! Although you might not see the shadow of a spell in the first chapters, it will appear in later chapters and will be one of the main subjects of volume 2. There are three heroes, yes, but they will not appear directly. While the first two protagonists appear in quite the beginning, the third will take his time, taking some stroll in the Districts of Arkanoth while we focus on the story of the hunter. But that does not lessen his importance in the story a bit, trust me. What about these three heroes, you say? Well, they all have their own issues, from their character to their torments, and as the story progresses they will have to come clean with their past (character development is to be expected) and will find their reason for fighting, braving all odds. I draw my inspiration from mythology, more precisely Aztec mythology. I want to stay true to a certain extent about it and all the relations between the gods and their role, however I will still change some things to my liking, so do not expect for all of the mythology to be respected to the letter. Finally! I have to say English is a foreign langage for me, so I might not choose the best words or straight-up miswrite something, if it bothers your experience, just tell me in the comments and I'll look into it! It is also my first time writing a book, so some parts might seem sloppy, but I hope I will be able to improve throughout this journey so as to give the most enjoyable reading experience to you. // Who might enjoy this story: Firstly, if you like deep lore and stories in which past plays a big role, you will like how everything unravels to show the hidden truths of the world. However if you do not appreciate not instantly understanding what's happening or who - or even what - this person might be, then you might not appreciate the story. There will be disturbing and gore descriptions, so if you're sensitive, don't like reading about someone being beheaded and such, you should probably pass this one. There is strong langage, although I won't abuse it, I won't be lying saying no insults will appear. Finally, the heroes will not always win, they will sometime lose battles, be it important ones or unimportant, and they will, most of the time, not come out unscathed from those. // Time Schedule : once every two sundays at 7:pm Ps : feel free to tell me if something is bad, or feel wrong with the book, it really helps me. I've written till' chapter 4 (in my mother tongue, so I'll still have to translate), however I'll make some minor and major changes, thus it will take some time to post them. Schedule will probably not change after releasing chapter 4, so don't worry, it won't take even longer to post a chapter than it already is. Enjoy the ride :)
