Thor VS the Midgard Serpent

This is a piece inspired by ancient Norse Mythology. More specifically, it's a reference to the legend of the Ragnarok. (say: RAG-nuh-ROCK) This tale, having probably the coolest name of anything in existence, depicts future events of the end of the nine realms and the end of times.

They are breaking into Asgard, and the Aesir are doing all that they can to protect their home.

While the Aesir are busy fighting the other two in Asgard, the Midgard Serpent writhes and coils around the earth, creating titanic waves that start wiping the land. Thor, the chosen guardian of the Earth and its inhabitants, must leave the other gods behind: they can take care of themselves. This here is it. This is the most intense moment of the great war before the end of the world. This is the turning point of everything the universe had ever known! THIS HERE IS.....
