Chapter 2: First Meetings

It became twilight and the chill of darkness sprang over Thor and Damascus. They were traveling over the ocean and Damascus was beginning to grow sleepy. He drifted into a deep sleep as Thor descended into a small opening in a forest. 'Good night, Damascus, we shall rest here,' said Thor. Thor too, drifted into a deep sleep. Two hours later, Thor awoke. He felt the ground shake. He heard the stomping of men in armor, maybe not men, but Orcs. He then found himself surrounded by an army of Orcs. Damascus woke up and grabbed his sword and readied for battle. 'Why Orcs, do you bother us at this late hour?' asked Thor. 'We bother not you, but him! If you don't desire being stabbed, I suggest you go back to your dreams,' said a tall dark Orc. He was clothed in black armor with stains and rust upon it. He carried a sword that looked horrifying. It was long with a skull shape figure upon the hilt. It had black jewels on it and the blade was black. 'If you so much as cut me, I can guarantee you that every dragon in the world even Hyperion shall be upon the Orcs in no time,' said Thor, his eyes turning red. 'All we want is him,' said the Orc, pointing at Damascus. 'And who might you be?' asked Damascus. 'I am Hephaistos,' said the Orc, his eyes turning red. He had a dark and terrifying helmet on. 'You're putting the spell upon me!' shouted Damascus. 'Yes, and what are you going to do to prevent it?' asked Hephaistos. 'Kill you,' said Damascus. The Orcs broke out in an evil. 'Quiet, we don't want to wake the beasts, but I would be very surprised if you held true to your word human,' said Hephaistos. Damascus jumped off of Thor and raised his sword. Hephaistos raised his hand and paralyzed Damascus with a spell. He laughed and raised his sword. As soon as he was about to strike Damascus, Thor put his wing between the two. 'If you cut me Orc you will regret it, if you kill me, hundreds will take my place,' said Thor. 'Now leave or I shall melt you and your army,' said Thor. 'Why don't you?' asked Hephaistos. 'It is not my place to, it is his,' said Thor. 'Ha! If it is his place, you better turn back now, because he won't even make it up the cliff to the dark tower if he wished to challenge me!' shouted Hephaistos. 'I leave now,' he added. He ran back into the forest and disappeared. The spell came off of Damascus. 'Why didn't you let me kill him? I had everything under control,' said Damascus. 'His sword was one foot away from your head, luckily my wing is not 1 foot wide yet or else the impact of my wing hitting you would've been the last thing you felt,' said Thor. 'Get some sleep, Damascus, I shall keep watch,' said Thor. He went back to sleep, and dreamed?
