Asgard. It was beautiful. The great city stretched before the group with water glistening over the falls and buildings towering to the skies, shimmering in the sun of the early morn. Thor sighed, heavy with peace, joy, and humility at the return home. The forest behind them echoed the sounds of life with birds singing their waking song, trees rustling in a warm breeze that flew by, and the water passing along just before their standing place. The sun's rays cast an other worldly glow upon the world, crisp and golden with the sky bright filled with fluffy clouds.

Thor took two steps forward before taking a playful leap down off of the hilly ledge the portal had placed them on. The grass folded beneath his boots and as he moved there was a flicker, waver, and his crimson cape materialized in hand. As he turned back with a broad, boyish smile to look at his family and friends the rest of his armor appeared. It was good to be home.

"Quickly!" he called to them, raising his arms as if in victory. "We must take advantage of our glorious return while time is at our side!"

((I am going to manage a small battle after everyone makes an introduction post! There will be an animal stampeding from the wood in attack. We'll only need a handful of posts to defeat the beast, so as to keep the thread moving and not make the fight itself be the focus--but who doesn't love RPing a mighty god once in a while? ;D ))

Thor nodded in response to Loki, then later to Sif. "I have," he said. "It is not only armor that causes her imbalance." He gave a small, thin smile as he raised his hammer but held his place for another moment. "It is her first battle. It is her first foot to Asgard. We travel the realms for fun, she has never traveled a realm at all." The blond then gave his usual gruff huff and moved forward.

"Brother, Sif. Stay the beast. Katherine will learn her lesson!" His thin smile turned into a wider one the second his heavy hammer cracked against the side of the boar's head. Thor could have beaten the beast up himself, no doubt could the others, but he only wanted to daze it, slow it, and buy Katherine time to make the mark.

"Katherine! Remember what I taught you! Feet apart, bend your knees, dig in!"

The boar did not take kindly to Katherine and bled heavily from its stuck side. It rocked on it's monstrous, piggish hooves and swung around to hit the girl. If the others had not stunned it first, the demi god might have become dust. The elephant-boar roared, a trumpet of rage, staggering, which was dangerous in itself.

It struck Loki as an oddity that Katherine would just hack at the beast with a spear but he held his tongue. The girl had to stand on her own two feet, even though he desperately wanted to tell her what tricks to use to daze it enough to slay it cleanly and quickly. Mjolnir's blow against its head was enough to make it swipe dangerously close to his daughter and Loki saw a spot of red in his vision.

The roaring was deafening, the stench of fresh blood from that beast was disgustingly metallic. "Katherine, you can do this. Do not underestimate it or you..." he said, distracting her as he sent a vision in the opposite direction to attract the beast's attention away from his fragile girl.

Illusions were not a favorite of Sif's. When she could not trust what her senses were telling her, she could not anticipate cause and reaction; brute strength, weapons expertise, and strategy all became unpredictable and somewhat futile. But everyone had their weaknesses.

Right now and most every other time, the goddess played to her strengths. Before Thor's words even left his throat, she was on the move, keeping sharp tabs on where the others were in comparison to the beast. She moved near it's hind haunches, blades drawn and ready to slice through tendon and cripple the thing, should it hold long enough to shake off Mjolnir's blow.

Her eyes flickered in thought as she mulled over what to do. All of the three gods could kill the beast without hesitation. But she did not have Thor's strength, Sif's battle experience or her father's magical skills. She had her brain. Where are the beasts vulnerable parts? Eyes? Too high. Heart? Too close to anything that might get dangerous. She could continue to stab it into the side but it felt like a kitten scratching a bull.

She could teleport. She could get anywhere. That was her strength... that and ice. A sly grin spread over her face as she looked up at the beast's back. Her left hand started to take on a blue colour and form a blade of ice.

She only needed one moment. Her father provided it moments later. The beast's attention shifted to the side and Katherine made her attack. She appeared on the back of the creature and rammed her spear into the side to have something to hold onto. The beast roared and she tightened the grip not to fall off. Hey, it was only reckless if it did not work, right? She thrust the blade into the neck and let the ice spread through the nervous system. Take it's ability to move and there was nothing it could do against the parasite on its back. Make its heart and breathing stop and it would die altogether. It only took a moment before the beast started to crumble and Katherine felt the dire need to get the fuck away from it. She broke off the connection to the blade and took a leap. She rolled the fall off when she landed and almost crashed into a tree. Oh well, she had to work on the grade for style. She slowly got to her feet as the dying beast swayed.

The trumpeting roar of the creature was the last sound it made before that of its body on the ground. It was a slow fall but the thud was still shaking of the earth underfoot. Blood spread quietly, leaking from the stabbed wounds, and the forest went silent in the monster's death. Not even the wind moved for several seconds as if to mourn the loss and then all was right with the world again.

Thor hurried up toward Katherine, smile on his face, hand reaching out to his right where Mjolnir zoomed with a whir. His left hand then reached out, less Sif or Loki get to her first. "Not bad," her uncle offered with a nod. "But needs work." He grinned further.

Loki was immeasurably pleased to provide his girl with the distraction the beast needed so that she could make her deadly move. His Frost Giant blood in her veins could prove quite fruitful, he considered as the beast stumbled. The potential energy in her from his darker lineage may indeed provide him with the right way to teach her how to use the darkest of arts.

Trudging up to where Katherine was, he smiled pridefully, "Your uncle is correct, little one, you did rather well but perhaps you need more training. One can't always depend upon their fathers providing distraction to slay the beast at an opportune moment.." he gave Thor a friendly slap on the shoulder.
