Thor: Tales of Asgard Page #4

Snow sprites. What would we do

without your keen senses, Hogun?

Hey! Thieving little pest!

Keep alert, friends!

Surtur's sword won't be looking for us.

Thor?

You're not giving up, are you, Brother?

I fear Algrim's right.

- About what?

- The sword.

He said it will never be found.

What does Algrim know of it?

He knows Jtunheim well, Loki.

It claimed his people.

It wiped them out as if they never existed.

Nay, it was

the Frost Giants who claimed them.

The land itself is not to blame.

It matters not.

We hold no kinship with the ice.

Therefore, its secrets are safe from us.

Every secret has its clues.

Do you recall the many tales of valor

we were forced to commit to memory

as children?

Yes. I love those stories.

Verily. I can recite

Odin's great defeat of Surtur by heart.

I, as well.

Then you should recognize this valley.

'Tis where that defeat took place.

Yes. Yes, I see it. It began there.

Father held the only weapon

that could rival Surtur's sword,

his spear, Gungnir.

Yet he bided his time.

A wise warrior, Father knew

his only hope was to tire the fire giant first.

So exhausted was Surtur,

that to lift his sword,

he needed both hands.

- Thus exposing his chest.

- Thus exposing his chest.

It must be there,

at the foot of that mountain.

I cannot take another step.

Stand guard. I hear something.

What this time, Hogun? A moth? A cricket?

Perhaps a...

Don't move.

Enter.

Sire, a visitor from the outer realm

seeks an audience.

You manage affairs today, Algrim.

I have been,

but this concerns Thor and Loki.

Show him in.

What news do you bring?

News? I've come for compensation.

My dwelling was destroyed!

And for what reason

do you seek payment here?

Because the sons of Odin were responsible!

One of them left this!

Brother, over there.

It's magnificent.

And large. Very large!

Who of us knew it would be that large?

Not me.

I'm very surprised.

The dwarves called it Elderstahl.

They fashioned it to

fit the hand of whoever wields it.

Hogun, can you break it free?

Aye. Stand back.

Brother?

I've never felt such power.

This has moved beyond a harmless quest.

We must not be found in Jtunheim

with such a weapon.

Why be concerned, Loki?

I defy anyone to confront us,

especially now that we are armed with this.

We must return to Asgard with due haste.

Agreed, but for that,

we must first make our way north.

North?

We need a new means of travel,

so we'll acquire horses in Konurlifandi.

From the Valkyries?

We'd be lucky to leave with our lives,

let alone horses.

They'll never help us.

They won't, but Sif will.

So, it's Sif that lures you there.

No, Loki.
