The Long Way Home
Ohu Amane means "Sees Danger" in Twi, the modern language of the Ashanti, and the name is quite appropriate. The eldest son of Anansi, Ohu was gifted with the ability to see danger. He used this power to help save his father from a giant river monster (with a little help from his siblings, he supposes). He knows when there's serious trouble.

But he's never had a chance to really explore the realms of mortals before. He's always been kept at home, in the realm of the Ashanti gods. Which was boring. His father being the keeper of all stories, Ohu has heard all the stories from the mortal realms, and he finds them fascinating. Of course, these days, there are more stories coming into his father's realm than ever before -- a person can't keep up! So Ohu finally convinced his father to let him come to the mortal realm*, accompanied by other gods, the children of Asgardians.

This should be a most exciting expedition! They've already shown up in Oklahoma, surrounded by wheat. If they can just find a cornfield, he's sure there will be evil there. There's always evil in cornfields in the stories.

But the field gives way to a road, and Ohu, the guide for his friend Asgardians, choses a way and begins walking it. They are heading for New York, and certainly all roads must lead to New York eventually.

The occasional car or truck passing by, Ohu leads them down the road, over two bridges, and into the city apparently named "Kingfisher." Around them, the populace gives the gods strange looks.

"You see, my friends? I have lead us to a place where we may acquire transportation to the glorious city of New York!"

*If, by "convinced his father," one means, "ran away without telling him."

Halbjorn is seriously out of sorts by the time they're getting to town. "Thou'rt sure those people within the metal chariots wert in no danger? I wouldst swear that last such conveyance wast growling at me." he grumbles, having almost smashed every car they've come across so far for just that reason. Anything that growls like that must eat people.

"Aye. Remember the tale Fandral didst tell us about Volstagg ripping one apart and Father getting quite vexed?" Svalin said as she walked along Tryggvi. The metal beasts had been unsettling with the loud noises they made and on a few occasions Tryggvi had reared. "Father explained that the rolling metal things were used for transportation."

All-Father, grant me the strength not to slay mine brother for his stupidity...

Asleif caught sight of a mortal staring at her and regarded him coldly. "Thou dost presume to look upon mine godly presence directly, mortal? I had thought the arrogance of your kind long gone."

He regarded her strangely for a minute. "Geeze, lady. What're you, high?"

She brought up a hand and began to weave a spell. "I shalt have to teach thee a lesson, it seems..."

"Leave the mortals alone, Asleif," Ohu suggests. "She thinks you're a 'stoner,' a mortal that partakes in water pipes and giggles a lot. And eats lots of food." He frowns. "But usually, these mortals don't have as strong a sense of style as you do."

"How strange these mortals be," Aridis comments. But she is smiling and waving at a few pedestrians as they walk. "But they do look quite interesting. What strange things they wear. Why do the women dress like that?"

She's curious about jeans she sees.

The reason for jeans may become obvious. Halbjorn has noticed the girls in jeans too. Enough that he's not even chiding his sister. "Aye. Most strange."

"They started wearing jeans after they set fire to their bras," Ohu explains.

Svalin noticed the jeans as well. They would be more practical for fighting. They were worth investigating.

"What art bras?"

Asleif's irritation at the mortal and being unable to turn him into some form of rodent passed, and she instead made a derisive noise at their guide's explanation.

"They art even frailer than I had thought," she remarked.

"Frail, mayhap... but how much greater dost that make their heroes? To be able to yet face such dangers when living such short lives, and needing bras?"

"They art like butterflies, perhaps. Lovely in their own way yet with such short lives," Aridis points out a little sadly. She would hate to be fated to such a short life when there is so much to experience.

"I think our duty to look out for them is all that more important. To see them denied their full life spans saddens me greatly mine sisters and brother," Ardis finally says while watching people who are curiously watching them. The normal citizens are pretty much convinced some crazy unknown rock stars got away from their agents and are being very silly or something like that.

Ohu leans to Halbjorn. "If you like the jeans they wear," he whispers conspiratorially, "perhaps we will be lucky enough to meet the famed Sisterhood of Traveling Pants."

Okay, so he didn't get around to reading that story, but he remembers the title at least. He's sure it must be a great adventure.

Many hours later and after a lot of food, the four Asgardians and Ohu finished eating and had exited the diner. The serving wench had given them a strange look when the tab was paid with a gold coin, but it had been accepted and they were outside ready to start their journey.

Tryggvi trotted up as soon as Svalin had exited the diner. She greeted him with a kiss on his nose and a pat to his neck.

"Perhaps it ist time we start our journey to New York?" she asked the others.

Asleif had kept herself quite on the subject long enough, believe that sooner or later, one of her siblings would remember and simply ask. If they were dumb enough not to remember, then she wasn't going to just volunteer such information freely.

"But show me a map, siblings dear, and I canst weave a spell to teleport us there directly."

Svalin gave her sibling a look. "Why did thou not mention this sooner?" They could have been at the Avengers' hall by now and facing enemies.

"Indeed. I dist forget that spell. Thy skills are much better than mine," Aridis says in a musical tone. She was in high spirits and had been veey amused by the meal they had.

Soon they should be in New York! All because of dear Asleif.

Asleif's eyes briefly lighted, proving her lineage and decent from the God of Mischief.

"Why, Svalin, dear sister... you did not ask."

"Thou couldst have mentioned it, sister." Svalin nodded. "Aye, I art ready to get to New York and meet the mighty Avengers."

"Wait a moment, friends!" Ohu interrupts. "We cannot merely teleport to our goal! Tell me, what great adventures have you heard of where the heroes simply appeared at their goal? No, it's all about the trip -- that is what makes the story!"

"Aye, but this walking in such hot climes bores me greatly. Surely there wilt be little loss if we move on to at least some conflict. Whilst important to farmers and feasts, acres of corn quickly bores a warrior."

"Ohu doth have a point. 'Tis sometimes the journey that doth make for a more interesting tale." Not that Svalin would have to actually walk the whole way. She did have a faithful mount after all.

"But such places like this are so...Bland. Adventure would be far in between," Aridis notes with a barely there sigh. She would rather they be filled with action of some kind right now.

She's bored with travel.

Asleif let out a dramatic sigh. Sometimes, one simply had to taken action.

She began to weave a spell in the air, her hands tracing certain sigils as she called upon the forces at her command. Magic did not come quite so easily away from the golden realm, but it was potent all the same.

"Stand closely now... for we are about to depart!" She let the spell fly from her hands, instantly bridging the space between cities.
