It took four days for me to escape from the island, and another 2 to get back to the port where I came from. I prayed to Odin to take me back to Asgard. I closed my eyes but didn't feel myself moving. I opened my eyes when a voice in my head said "You cannot go back to Asgard until you find and defeat Fenris Wolf." I was shell-shocked by this information. I just now realized that while I was trapped, Fenrir was free to reek havok on anything he wished. I prayed to Perses, greek titan of destruction and peace, to bring me to the place where Fenrir is causing the most destruction. I close my eyes to feel myself evaporating and solidify in a new location. I open my eyes to see ruble. I realize that this is New York City because of the one building left standing, The Empire State building, home of the Olympians. Besides that, it looked like NYC had been hit with a nuke, or a couple. In the distance, I see a large figure attacking the largest of cities, eating skyscrapers whole. It was surrounded by helicopters that were firing their most devastating bullets, but they bounce off the beast as if they were plastic. One helicopter had the right idea however, as he fired a bullet into the eye of the large wolf, outraging him. In responce, he flicked some helicopters with his devastating paw, with others, the flames that majestically burn out of his mouth, keaving only ashes in its wake. I start running to The Empire State building with an idea. The citizens of Mt. Olympus have to join in the fight because if they don't, Ragnorök will destroy them all. I run into the building to find only the corpses of the mortals who were in the building. The security guard had the keycard so I calmly walk over to him and take the card out of his back pocket and I was on my merry way. I travel up the building, listening to the annoying songs of Apollo. I hear a 'ding' from the elevator and it slowly opens, leaving me disappointed by how the mighty Olympus looks. I expected better from the greeks considering I was one for the longest of times. Minor and Major gods alike were shocked by the pale blue eyes that I possessed. According to them, only sons of Zeus had those eyes, and all demigods had been killed along with the mortals by the earthquake that Fenrir caused when he first entered land. I walk up to the 'great' double doors that held the Olympians who were in a meeting. I use a small portion of my power to kick the doors open, startling the gods. Zeus himself jumped about a foot in the air, grabbing his Masterbolt. "Who are you and how dare you interrupt a meeting of the gods you puny mortal!"
