toteshammered.livejournal.comAs the students entered their class, they'd find their usual teacher once again at the front of the class.
"GREETINGS, STUDENTS!" Thor bellowed exuberantly. "I wish to apologize for my absence last week, I trust my brother did well in my stead?" He waited a beat, and then continued on. "Today I think we shall discuss a topic very near to my heart: The Lady Sif!" he grinned.
"First of all, she is referred to in Norse mythology as a goddess of earth. This is a neverending source of annoyance for her, and I suppose if I had to choose an association I would most likely place her as a goddess of warbased on the movie posters cause that's totes a reliable source.
Midgardian scholars also seem to give much thought to her 'golden tresses'," here Thor chuckled, "claiming they represent fields of wheat, or concepts such as fertility, family, and wedlock. Not that such things never occur to a warrior- mine own father did, after all, raise two sons." His gaze slipped to Lokiif he was there and for the briefest of moments there was a flicker of sadness in his eyes. "They claim her golden hair was the work of Loki, that I made him fashion her a magical headpiece after he cut off her original hair." Here he did frown at Loki, because the fallout from that particular incident had been less than fun, thank you. "In truth, the Sif I grew up with was born with hair much like mine." AKA: fabulous. "And Loki, as part of another one of his tricks, did shear it all... to replace it with hair the color of a raven's wing, enchanted by dwarves. I hope you can imagine how displeased she was to wake upon the completion of Loki's joke and see what he had done."
No, he still didn't know why his brother had thought that a good idea.
"So the question I pose to you, class, is this: With what concept do you think history will associate you with? War? Knowledge? Beauty? What would you say if you somehow learned that people were telling stories that described you as the opposite of what you truly were?"
