I am too close to the man who would have killed you because you chose to do what you wished and not what I wished.
i was raised as he was raised, the son of an important man, born to wield power and influence and secure in the knowledge that men would kneel at my feet in fealty. i share his propensity to violence and anger, his short temper, his lust for the enjoyable things of life and his desire to engage in all he does to the fullest. i do not like for my will to be thwarted. i want to succeed at all i do.
and unlike that man, i am a god. i am who the stories told about thor say that i am. and now this story of thor is a part of me, and will be until he is forgotten.
