Long, long ago, the God of Thunder waged war against an army of thousands.
Alone.
Without sleep.
Without food.
Without falling.
Uninterrupted, for two entire years.
Armed only with his hammer.
And the lightning in his wake.
And why, you may ask, have you never heard of this mighty feat? lt is because Thor has forgotten it. ln fact, if he is reminded of the battle at all, the God of Thunder could not tell you who the For in the mind of an adversaries were. Or what the war was undying and ageless about...or even the god, what is two years name of the battle of raging war but a lands themselves. fraction of a second?
A decade may be remembered as a minute. A hundred years as an hour. lf the hour be worthy.
That is to say, it is impossible to know the true legends of Thor.
Of the battles he has won. Of the foes he has vanquished.
Of the countless bodies of the wicked that lay unburied in his name.
Because for one such as the newly crowned king of Asgard...
...in time, they will all be forgotten.
Lost, in the ocean of his immortal mind. lt is because Thor has forgotten it. ln fact, if he is reminded of the battle at all, the God of Thunder could not tell you who the For in the mind of an adversaries were.
