<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/nHeZWaE.jpg)</div><strong>Character Name:</strong>Magni Thorsson<br/><strong>Location:</strong>The Marvels Building Upstate New York City<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>White tunic, white trousers, leather boots<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Ravager, Devils Nyght, Aegis, Roulette, Pandemic, War Bride, Mind Witch, Red Goblin, Torrent, Silver Samurai<br/><strong>Warnings:</strong>None<br/><br/><hr/><br/>As Ravager spoke, the coin-scaled serpent's open jaw loomed over Magni. It was a thing of the mind only, but as the toxic venom dripped down and splashed upon Magni's face, neck, and chest, it felt so very, very real. His body trembled as the toxic venom seemed to burn him.<br/><br/><strong>"Time is a flat circle. All that was shall be again."</strong>Magni said in a faraway voice.<strong>"Ragnarǫk hath been fought, and shall be fought, again and again, o'er an' o'er."</strong>Those within his mind could see another Magni (http://) - one who was the image of Þórr, with fierce red hair, born of the loins of the Enchantress. The vision was fleeting and Magni was not aware that he conjured it to mind.<br/><br/><strong>"Most know not their fates, yet it hath been carved ne'ertheless. The measure layeth in the manner by which we face the end."</strong>Magni said as the serpent dissolved into golden motes. The weight he felt lessened until it was normal. He shook his head slowly, closing his eyes, and brought his mental defenses back into place. The mighty fortress of his mind was no longer open, no more were its gates unbarred and unguarded.<br/><br/><strong>"Mine hand hath grasped Eitri's great work, and for all mine strength I couldst no more lift it than thou couldst lift the horizon."</strong>The demigod said softly after Ravager spoke of Worthiness.<strong>"Mistake me not, teammate Ravager: I shall cease in my efforts to be Worthy, though it hath been denied me by the carvings of the Nornir. I comprehendeth that it is no prize that canst be bestowed 'pon me by another."</strong>He gave a shrug.<strong>"Mayhaps thou art correct, and there be more to mine carved destiny than standst revealed. It is enough that I strive with all that I am."</strong><br/><br/>Mind Witch's hand came rest where she chose to place it. Magni looked at the blonde mutant and he nodded as she spoke.<strong>"I mark well thine words, Mind Witch."</strong>He paused and returned the weights to their place, emptying his hands of them. His lips pursed and he tried to choose the best words.<strong>"An' now I mark well thine intent. I hath observed such as thou and Ravager describest among the warriors of the Realm Eternal."</strong>From the rank and file warriors to the Warriors Three, there was the banter between companions. Even Hogun the Grim took part in such things in his own fashion.<strong>"I wouldst not count myself included in such things, yet thou hast made me so. Anon mayest thou conjure thy worst and I shalt contend with them. In another place . . . one made of sterner stuff."</strong>In the demigod's imaginings, he figured this sort of thing would take longer to happen, when a certain level of familiarity and comfort was established. Perhaps he simply lacked the empathy and socialization to grasp it. This realm was still so very new to him and its ways he knew poorly.<br/><br/>There was a beat.<br/><br/><strong>"Tell me, an' truly: doth thou and all men and women of Miðgarðr bend the knee to the Burger King and the Dairy Queen? I hath been told that it is so . . . but I hath mine doubts."</strong>
