Angelique woke again this time cleaned and adorned in different clothes. The clothes were extravagant and vaguely German as the young ladies attending her rushed from the room. In their path, she recognized the huge blonde immortal who smiled before
her.

"Thor !" she beamed. It had been years since their meeting as she hugged him and he kissed her platonicly. It had been years since he had rescued her from the deck of the Titanic.

"Love the kids." he seemed more like an old friend as she realized she was now in the halls of Asgard. In the other doorway, his father Odin, Zeus of Olympus, the Aztec Quetzalcoatl and the Anasazi lord Manabozho stood before her. Angelique uncontrollably fell to her knees in their presence.

"This is not the time." Odin picked her up.

"Please send me home." she asked.

"We can't." Zeus disclosed. "We can protect you better here. It's also imperative that we keep you from my ill- begotten son."

"Why do you need me ?" Angelique inquired. "Can't you deal with this war without me ?"

"Ares is always at war," Quetzalcoatl revealed. "We keep him from winning, but now he's using other neo-pagans like yourself to break the balance."

"Human hostages."

"Exactly." Manabozho was dressed in the garb of his Native American worshippers. A headdress of feathers on his head, he fired at one of two crows sitting in the rafters listening to them. The other screeched and flew off as its brother fell to the floor.
