Loki’s Fury

Asgard. In the repaired, towering, epic royal palace, there lingered a silent sense of defeat, of twilight years. The great hall of the royal palace was vast and empty, resplendent in gold and jade, luxurious and magnificent. Odin slumped upon the throne, leaning against its backrest, his single eye gazing blankly at the murals on the vaulted ceiling. Even Gungnir, the Eternal Spear held in his left hand, seemed powerless. Outside the hall, Thor's black armor was drenched in blood.
