[Sif POV]

The announcer's voice echoed through the audience for the last time as I took a seat beside the Warrior three, Loki, and the All-Father. "Let the battle begin!" 

"Do you think the human will last more than a few seconds?" Volstagg asked Frandal.

"Nope." Frandal chuckled.

The announcer had barely finished his sentence when Thor instantly charged at the human with a confident grin on his face ready to slam him with his hammer. The latter taking my advice, was already in a defensive stance letting Thor dictate the pace of the combat, waiting for him, which allowed him to dodge Thor's hammer by just an inch. 

"You owe me a beer!" Volstagg laughed, punching Frandal.

"Well, I guess I do." Frandal sighed.

The human took a step back and blocked Thor's next two blows with his forearms, before attempting to blast Thor away with some sort of magic laser, which ultimately failed when Thor started to spin Mjolnir blocking the attack.

Taking a step back, the human got into another stable defensive stance, as he eyed Thor with caution. Grinning Thor quickly continued the assault, throwing his hammer at him, but with a quick circular move of his hands, the human opened some kind of portal redirecting Thor's attack back at him, then as Thor lost his balance thanks to Mjolnir hitting on the head, the human leaped at Thor, punching him in the face with devastating force.

The attack threw Thor, even more, off-balance, and the Human intended to press his advantage.

The human pushed Thor back with a flurry of attacks, each punch and kick being stronger than the last, unfortunately for the human, Thor recovered quickly and with a satisfied smile, punched the human away, recovering his hammer with his other hand.

"This is fun!" Thor declared with a wide grin.

"It is." The human chuckled, as he stood up from the ground.

"Let us continue!" Thor shouted, and in the blink of an eye, he closed the distance between him and the human, pushing him back with a powerful set of attacks, using his godly domain to punish the human. 

It was clear what the result of this match was going to be, the Human was quickly becoming overwhelmed by Thor's superior raw force, and adding lightning to that was pushing him even more, and under such conditions, he had begun a slow retreat backwards under the onslaught of incoming blows, blood seeping out of his armor.

"You know," Thor said with a smirk, blasting the Human away with a lightning bolt. "You are the first human I have ever battle that lasted this long, not even Asgardians take such a beating and keep on fighting!" the prince was clearly happy.

"Well, I must admit though, I am nearing my limit." The human sighed with a small chuckle.  

Thor chuckled. "Then let us end this? Shall we?" 

"Let's," The human nodded, summoning a massive ball of pure fiery inferno on his hands. "Hellfire!" he shouted blasting the ball into the arena.

Seconds later, a pillar of flamers engulfed Thor, and the once cheering audience was rendered mute, even the warrior three had gone silent watching the arena in shock.

"That actually hurt!" Thor shouted, flying out of the flaming pillar with a few minor burns as he rushed towards the human, hammer at hand.

"That was the intention!" The human shouted back, summoning another pillar below Thor.

Grinning, Thor raised his hammer above his head as the fire engulfed him once more, and with the might expected of the crowned prince of Asgard, brought down on the human the might of the Asgardian gods with the clap of a thunder.

Unable to dodge the attack, the human stood still, tanking Thor's thunder, as his fire pillars dissipated.

"I give… up…" The human eventually muttered, going down on his knees.

Thor flew towards him and grabbed the human by the arms. "It was an honorable fight."

"Honor hurts." The Human chuckled, groaning in pain.

"Let me take you to the infirmary." Thor chuckled, carrying the human away.

"And there you have it Asgard! The winner is Thor Odinson!" the announcer declared, and once again the audience was shouting in joy, and in a newfound respect for the human.

"Well, that was unexpected," Fandral admitted. 

Volstagg chuckled. "He fought like a true warrior, even though he knew winning was not an option!" he grinned, "Does he has Asgardian blood?"

"I don't know," Fandral replied, considering the thought.

"Why would an Asgardian live on Midgard?" Loki rolled his eyes.

"Well, Asgardian or not, he gave us quite the show," I admitted, never in my long life I expected a human to show such prowess in combat, it pained me to admit it, but I doubted anyone here besides Thor, and the All-Father himself had a chance against him.

"He did." Hogun nodded. "His prowess was rather shocking."

"So now what, father?" Loki said, looking at Odin.

"We give the human an Asgardian welcome," Odin replied with a neutral look.

"Huzzah!" Volstagg grinned. "A feast!"

"Will you ever think with your brain? And not your stomach?" Loki muttered.

"Too much thinking cuts in my eating time." Volstagg defended.

"Well, if you all excuse me, I will go ahead and check how the Human and Thor are doing," I said, taking my leave.

"Send him our regards," Fandral shouted.

"Or you could do it yourself?" Hogun sighed, following me into the infirmary.

"Wait for me!" Volstagg said as he ran towards us.

"Hey! Don't leave me with Loki, we have nothing in common!" Fandral shouted, following us.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the time we arrived at the infirmary, Thor and the human were laughing, both with a mug of beer at hand. 

"This human beer is truly magnificent!" Thor declared. "And the mug never empties, truly the best thing I have ever seen!"

"Infinite beer?" Volstagg cried, tears falling down his eyes. "I love this human!" 

"I guess that makes him your friend, huh?" I chuckled, looking at Thor.

"He fought with me, he drank with me. He is my blood brother!" Thor declared with a grin.

"What can I say, people, love me." The Human smiled, winking at me.

"Can.. can I get one of those?" Volstagg said, his two index fingers touching in a shy manner.

"Sure." the human smiled, summoning another mug out of nowhere.

Volstagg grinned, like a child grabbing the mug. "This is the day I find true happiness!"

"Hey, don't leave the handsome one hanging!" Fandral smirked, approaching the human.

"You're at best a 5 out 10, but sure." The human shrugged giving him a mug too. "What about you two?" he asked.

"I prefer tea," Hogun replied.

"I don't mind getting one." I smiled.

"A tea mug, and a beer one coming right up." The Human smiled.

"By the way, weren't you hurt a few seconds ago?" Fandral asked.

"He was, but then he drank some red stuff, and was as good as new!" Thor answered for him. "He even gave me one for my burns, it tasted like cherry, or blood, not sure."

Happy thanksgiving for those who celebrate it!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After my battle with Thor, things changed for the better.

I was basically welcomed to Asgard with opened arms, just because I had battled their prince honorably.

Though I was a bit salty I didn't manage to hurt him nearly as much as he hurt me.

I even used on my strongest magical spell, Hellfire.

Which I got from one of the many dungeons I had completed.

Nonetheless, I suppose the result of the match was favorable.

I got my chance to meet Odin, after the feast the King himself was throwing in my honor, which if you asked me it was a bit too much.

But, considering they have at least a weekly feast, maybe is not that important.

"You battled like a true warrior," Sif said, snapping me out of my long reverie.

"Thanks." I smiled.

"So, are now Midgardians as strong as you?" Sif asked with a smile.

"Well, no." I chuckled. "I can count with one hand how many humans are around my level." 

"Well, still a surprising feat." Sif nodded. "In my one thousand years, I have never witnessed a human with such prowess in battle."

"Well, you know us, ever-evolving." I smiled.

"I suppose that is true." Sif nodded.

Here goes nothing, "So, while we wait for the feast, care to give me a tour of this wonderful place you call home?"

"Is this how humans court each other?" Sif snorted, raising a single eyebrow.

I chuckled. "Who said I am courting you?" I challenged.

"Fair enough." Sif chuckled. "Let's start this tour human."

Our tour started at the place I was apprehended, the main plaza, which now looked more beautiful without people poking me with spears and stuff.

"Here was where we captured you, which now I know, it would've been a whole more difficult had you not been so cooperative." Sif began.

"Isn't that a general rule, people that don't resist are usually easy to capture," I replied.

"I suppose, but regardless of that, you made our job remarkably less messy," Sif stated.

"So is Midgard bigger than Asgard?" I asked.

"Yes," Sif replied. "Our planet is small compared to Midgard. But, is bigger in other senses."

"Army-wise, I suppose," I replied.

"Indeed." Sif smiled.

"So now what?" I asked.

"Now we go to the market," Sif replied, and so the tour continued.

I had to admit, Asgard was beautiful beyond anything I had ever seen. It was mesmerizing, heck, I was even considering in buying a vacation house here, if my money was any good here, I had no idea what Asgardians considered valuable or not.

Eventually, our tour came to an end at the gates of Odin's feast hall.

"And here we are," Sif said looking at the gates.

"The feast already started?" I asked, hearing the sounds of music and people inside.

"Yes, feasts usually start before the guest of honor arrives, it is considered an insult to show the guest to the party before it begins." Sif nodded.

Huh, cultural differences. "Well, let's not keep the people waiting." I grinned.

"Let's not." Sif nodded, as I opened the gates.

"Human, welcome." Odin's voice boomed through the audience, as I walked inside.

"A pleasure to meet you." I bowed ever so lightly.

"Come, take a seat beside my son." Odin smiled, pointing to where Thor was seated.

"Here buddy!" Thor smiled, waving at me like a kid that had saved his best friend a seat.

"Here here!" Volstagg echoed him.

"Thanks." I bowed once again, and walked towards Thor, as I eyed Loki, who seemed to be side-glaring at me.

"Alone with Lady Sif huh?" Fandral chuckled. "You must have a death wish."

"Unlike you, he can keep it on his pants," Sif replied before I had the chance.

"It was one time! ONE!" Fandral replied in an insulted manner.

"So, how's the food?" I asked, taking a seat beside Thor.

"Delicious, put your feeble Misgardian lips of this mighty Asgardian chicken and see!" Feeble… this bitch.

Ignoring his lack of social tact, I grabbed a piece of chicken and bit into it, it was good, very good, but nothing like out of the park, I had tasted better chicken on earth. "Top five, but not the best," I said.

"Are you saying the mightiest chicken is on Midgard?!" Thor asked, looking at his chicken in shock.

"Indeed." I nodded.

"It settled, I must visit Midgard with you when you go back, I'll stay on your castle!" Thor exclaimed.

"I wanna go too!" Volstagg shouted.

"Same, Midgardian ladies need a bit of Fandral," Fandral smirked.

"He isn't coming,"  I stated.

"Wise choice," Hogun nodded.

"Hey!" Fandral pouted.

"I concur with Hogun." Sif smiled.

"You guys are mean." Fandral sighed, as he stood up and walked to the drinks.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Odin Borson - POV]

Alex Walker, the apprentice of Yao, now known as the Ancient One if memory serves me right.

I wonder, why is he here?

It has been some time since the last Midgardian came to Asgard, a few hundred years.

Though, I wasn't sure if he was a human.

While I knew he came from Midgard, his spiritual energy gave a different reading, one that I couldn't quite figure out what it was, or where it came from.

But one thing was for sure, whatever I was feeling, it was older than me.

Perhaps older than Asgard itself.

"You've been staring at the Midgardian for quite a while," Frigga muttered into my ear. "Is there something wrong?"

"No." I shook my head. "Just watching him and Thor become friends." 

"He's strong," Frigga commented.

"He is," I nodded ever so lightly. 

"What do you think he wants? He did say he wanted to talk with you." Frigga said.

"I don't know, but I can't wait to find out," I replied, in all honesty, I had no idea what his motive for being here was, but, I had a feeling it had to do with him possessing the space stone.
