...Daemon Targaryen, born eighty one years after Aegon's Conquest, was the son of Baelon Targaryen and grandson of King Jaeherys the Conciliator. His brother Viserys would later take the the Iron Throne after the ancient king died. Daemon was described as dashing, dangerous and easy to offend. His face was known to be familiar with every cut-purse, whore and gambler in Flea Bottom. He was knighted at 16 and given the Valyrian Steel sword, Dark Sister, by King Jaeherys himself. His first marriage was unfruitful. He detested his wife, Rhea Royce (calling her his 'bronze bitch'), and though Viserys did not allow him to divorce her, he was welcomed to the small council serving as both Master of Coin and Laws. After the Hand got Daemon removed from the council, he was named commander of the city watch. He retrained the watch and gave them the gold cloaks they still wear. His methods were cruel and often very harsh, and he often patrolled the streets with his men. This is where he would meet the Lysene whore, Mysaria. She would later be his mistress of whisperers. After Viserys' firstborn son died within a day of his birth, Daemon was seen to be drunk and cheering for the 'heir for a day' whilst carousing on The Street of Silk. In his rage, Viserys named his daughter Rhaenyra heir and Daemon fled the city. Following the marriage of Viserys and Alicent Hightower and the birth of their son, Aegon, Prince Daemon grew tired of waiting for a crown that would never be his. Allying himself with...

...We all know who Loki Odison is. Potrayed by Tom Hiddleston, the character has been fenomenal. Most of us have the most common misconception that Loki is the bad guy. Yes, he is, in the traditional movie sense. It is not like he is a good guy in any sense and that his actions are justifiable, but I severely disagree on the label of villain attached to Loki. He may be bad, but he is not pure evil. His actions may have gone too far, but they are not out of his desire to inflict misery to others. He has motives and in fact, if told from his perspective, he might very well be considered as a tragic hero. Loki was born as the son of Laufey, the king of the Frost Giants, but had been kept hidden because of his diminutive size. A battle broke out between Asgardian gods and the Frost Giants, causing Laufey slain and the giants defeated. It was then Loki was discovered by Odin, the king of Asgrad. Odin took him back and raised him along with his biological son, Thor, in hopes that he would one day bring about a permanent peace between those two eternal enemies. Loki was never told of his origins and was raised to believe he was the blood offspring of Odin and brother of Thor. This is so telling of what it was like for Loki growing up: he’s not like the other Asgardians. Even at his own home, the favoritism was apparent. Odin, who he believed as his own father, blatantly preferred Thor. Things finally are brought into an out of control careening river of emotions when Loki learnt his...

...Despite having the exact same ratio of god to giant “blood” running through him as the rest of the gods in Asgard, he is not of equal status to any of them. Loki himself fathers three monster creatures, the “Midgard serpent, the wolf Fenrir, and Hel.” While he maintains an allegiance with the Aesir gods during some of the time prior to Ragnarok, somehow in the mythic future of Norse mythology, he aligns himself with the monsters. According to John Lindow, Loki was “the enemy of the gods in the far mythic past… and reverts to this status as mythic future approaches and arrives,” with a particularly ambiguous mythic present. (Lindow...

Having this big brother that takes after my father, I have become the disappointment. I am nothing like my father, he is bold and powerful, everyone loves him.

And now, with the X Guardians defeated as well, Dr Weil took command and everything returned to the same situation they were at before she had awakened Zero in the first place. Had it been worth it? And now, they were fighting again to prevent Dr Weil from yet again ruining everything he could touch and yet again, sacrifices had been made, sacrifices that weighted heavily on everyone. Craft... he had wished to protect those he lived, to change the world and put an end to an era of misery. In the end, he had been an instrument of misery himself. And now, Ragnarok was coming crashing down. Zero's words echoed inside of her mind, filling her heart with a nameless fear. He had told Craft he had failed because weapons of war could not change the world, that only humans such as herself could change the world. She had heard him and she knew that in a way, it...

...The baby looked confused at first but then started to suck on it. “Finally, you got it to shut up, Sven.” The Viking that was arguing with Erik earlier said. I was about to point out that it was his fault for waking the baby in the first place when Audin asked what I hadn’t really thought about, “Hey, Sven, is the baby a boy or a girl?” “I don’t know, haven’t checked.” As soon as those words left my mouth, bets were being made. “I bet 2 sheep it’s a boy!” yelled a Viking whom I believe is named Egil. “No, no, it’s definitely a girl.” “3 sheep it’s a girl!” “1 cattle it’s a boy!” the bets were rolling in, someone had even bet their wife on whether it was a boy or a girl, until on Viking yelled, “Well, what are you waiting for, Ragnarok? What gender is the baby?” I started to un-wrap the baby. It shivered as I un-wrapped more layers of the cloth. As I removed the last layer of cloth I looked up from the baby, “Well, it’s definitely not a boy.” I started to wrap the baby back up again. My last statement had caused quite the uproar. Many were yelling and weapons were thrown around. “Oh be quiet you eldhusfifl fifl!” growled Ivar, “we are home!” a chorus of cheers followed as we all got off the ship with all the loot...

...The underworld of Greek mythology is ruled by Hades, the god of the underworld, and is guarded by a three headed dog, Cerberus. The underworld is both heaven and hell, and the smell of fire and smoke will fill your nose wherever you are. The people that perish of old age or bad deeds goes to the Fields of Punishment, and the feeling of dread and not knowing who you are is part of the punishment of these bad deeds. The sounds of crying and screaming will fill your ears. The heroes that die in battle go to the Elysium which they have a choice of staying or being reborn. Valhalla is where Norse heroes go after death in battle where they train for but Ragnarok. Folkvang is where Norse demigods go when they die of old age or another good deed. People who die of bad deeds go to Hel. The after lives in both mythologies are utterly complicated. You think the underworlds are complicated, but wait till you see what's...

I continued the killing spree with my weapons materializing in front of their faces, decapitating every single one of them. I could feel the presence of the Gods on our side. A young Christian warrior approaced me with an obviously unbalanced sword. He was swinging pathetically. I held my axe high and then mounted it in his gut. He cried in agony. Poor bastard. His chainmail didn’t serve him its purpose. He should have taken refuge in the nearby woodlands instead. If he only knew that my axe and sword was forged by Thor’s Mjölnir in the scorching flame of Ragnarok, then he might have changed his mind. ...

...been in development and was close to finish--Mickey Mouse. The first two Mickey Mouse shorts weren’t very successful--Disney Brothers’ Studio failed to find distribution. The third, however, Steamboat Willie, was released with sound, and with Walt Disney himself voicing the iconic mouse the cartoon was an instant hit. Today, Mickey Mouse is still a popular character, and is still a staple of Disney, and is familiar and beloved in America (among other places). He has multiple shows, gimmicks, and several branded products. Disney today is the second-largest media conglomerate nationwide, losing only to Comcast. This year alone Disney plans to create and release fifteen new movies: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales,Thor: Ragnarok, and Cruella being a few of them. In addition, in the Animal Kingdom section of Disney World Pandora, home to the Na’vi from Avatar, is being added. They control a multitude of cruises, theme parks and other animation studios, and are the second-richest media company in the nation. Disney has gone through a multitude of changes in its time including name, production, and popularity, but one thing has never changed--the company has always strived to produce pleasing entertainment, and has done so in a way that’s left its mark on generations of America since. That is the cinematic wonder that is Disney. ...

...In the Bible, Christ’s resurrection is explored after his death, leading into resurrection. Events that lead to his demise lead to his return in the real world, bringing a new and insightful light to the story. The significance of Christ being able to self-resurrect back into the world is because he’s the only one to ever do it, and do it successfully, whereas other Gods don’t have the ability to do so. To further explain, according to the Bible, Christ is the only deity but self identified man to essentially do this. Considering his abilities is through God, and God wanted reveal to man proof of his power through Jesus, without directly showing it to them like many times prior, by raising Jesus from the dead. To emphasize this, “because He has appointed a day on which, He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.” Christ had mentioned several times that his death and resurrection would be the one thing to give to the sinful and unbelieving world God made for them. Such as, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” Further explaining that he knew he would be able to come back with ease. Foreknowing one’s own death is common in most Mythologies...

...Cosmic Creation Myths Across Cultures Darrell Jones HUM/105 June 20, 2012 Mary Worley Cosmic Creation Myths across Cultures Myths vary a great deal from various cultures around the world. Although these myths differ, they all share one same common theme – a story based on creation. Myths from the Roman/Greek and Nordic cultures are no different. Both of these cultures believed in some form of creation that defined and shaped their world through cosmic occurrences or natural phenomenon, while sharing similarities and differences in the creators of the worlds and the steps these worlds were created. Roman/Greek gods lived in various worlds. This mythological world was born out of emptiness, or Chaos. The gods themselves lived on Mount Olympus. Uranus, Father Sky, ruled over all worlds with Gaea, Mother Earth, by his side. Tartarus ruled the deepest part of the underworld. Their son, Cronus, and their grandson, Zeus, both take turns ruling over the worlds after Uranus. Two of Uranus and Gaea’s other children were gods of other worldly elements: Helios, god of sun; and Selene, god of Moon. Cronus and Rhea produced the second generation of gods who ruled over other elements, including: Zeus, lord of the sky and god of thunder; Poseidon, lord of the seas; and Hades, ruler of the underworld and lord of the dead. Individuals who believed in Roman/Greek mythology believed these gods shaped their world and ruled over the elements. A titan named Atlas was condemned by Zeus to...
