"Aye, it makes sense that the Spartan's battles should not be without gain to someone. I made sure the mortals I fight alongside knew without question that Asgard is my home and that if thou called upon me Father, that thy call shall always take precedence. Though I have promised to help protect Midgard, Asgard is my home and thou art my king. The lessons thou had me learn hath made me a better warrior and hath forged into me the humility I needed. Looking back, I am most grateful and I thank thee."

Though Odin slept for seven days each year and awoke strong against each time, the pale shade the Allfather had taken this time worried him. The Warriors Three had expressed the same concern to Thor during his trek to through the Golden City on his way to Odin's hall.
