The harbour stank of salt, fish, and sweat, and Thor's patience was wearing thin. After what felt like endless arguing, he had finally convinced the ship's captain to take them aboard.
No matter which world it was, money always has its sway on people.
The man had hesitated, muttering about risks, but Thor's heavy purse of coin and the promise of his fist had been enough to sway him. At last, the girls had a way out of King's Landing now.
Though he wasn't planning on leaving them just yet, at least he plan to end to them Wintefell before taking his departure.
But then Thor's sharp eyes caught movement. Men in white cloaks. Lannister soldiers.
'Damn, they're already blocking the ships.' He cursed under his breath.
"They'll sniff us out at this rate," Thor muttered, jaw tight. He turned to the captain. "Get this ship ready to leave. Now. Do not wait for me."
The captain paled. "What! "
"Do as I say," Thor growled, his voice thunder without the storm. "Cast off when you can. I'll deal with them."
Inside the ship, Sansa and Arya were already in danger. A pair of guards had cornered them below deck, hands outstretched, their jeers cutting sharp in the dim hold.
After all how long could they hide inside that small space from the guards anyway. Hugh tried to distract them, since he was a less priority target if a target at all at this point, but still those Lannister dogs sniff out the girls.
Sansa froze, pale as milk, while Arya's small hand went for Needle — but she was too slow.
"Get them men, don't do anything else. We need them in one piece." A guard said, tone almost mocking.
"Sansa, run. Get to Thor. I'll hold them back." Arya took her water dancing stand, ready to fight to the end if it came to it.
Sansa however was frozen by now to reach much.
That was when Thor came crashing in. He didn't speak, just took action.
The first guard barely had time to blink before Thor's fist smashed into his face, dropping him flat with blood spraying from his nose.
"What !" One of them yelled in surprised.
The second swung his sword, but Thor caught his arm, twisted it until bone cracked, then hurled the man across the hold like a sack of grain.
"Stay behind me!" Thor barked to the girls, planting himself between them and the doorway as more boots thundered down the stairs.
"Hugh take the sword, just protect the girls. Leave the rest to me." Thor took the sword of the guard he just knocked out and passed it to Hugh while took it masterfully.
He wasn't the best knight there was but he knew how to use a sword, just enought to protect the girls.
Steel flashed. Five men crowded the passage, blades ready darwn.
Thor grinned. "Come then. I was eager to crack some skull for a while now."
He tightened his grip on Mjolnir, and power surged inside him. Not just physical strength but also the divine godly power which made him Thor.
The first two rushed him at once. Thor ducked low, drove his shoulder into one man's gut, and flung him against the bulkhead so hard the wood cracked. The second tried to stab him in the back, but Thor spun, catching the blade with his bare hand. The steel cut his palm, but he didn't flinch. Instead, he ripped the sword free and slammed it through the man's chest.
"Come to your death, whaaa" Thor roared, his voice filling the hold like a war drum. Instead of letting them come to him, he rush at them.
More soldiers flooded in. The ship rattled as the captain shouted above deck, ropes being loosened, sails unfurled. Thor knew he couldn't stay here. If the soldiers held the ship, they'd never escape.
"Get to the captain!" Thor ordered Sansa and Arya. "Stay hidden!"
"I wanna help." Arya shouted back.
"Do what I say." Thor snapped back.
He barreled past the remaining guards, shoving them aside like children, and stormed out onto the pier. Outside, a dozen more Lannister men were already moving to block the ship from leaving.
All the guards on the horbour were there, not enough but soon guards stationed on other places would too rushed in, he had to hurry.
"Haaaaa..." His muslces swelled, power reigniting inside his body, he grabbed the mooring ropes that bound the vessel to the dock and tore them loose with his bare hands, muscles straining, the thick hemp snapping like thread.
"My god, what is this man." The captain looked at this display of power slack jawed.
As soon as Thor tore the rope, the ship began to drift, sails catching the morning wind.
"Go!" Thor shouted to the captain, who was screaming at his crew to row. "Take them away!"
"No, Thor. Come onboard." Both Arya and Sansa's breath hinged seeing him not getting on board immediately.
He couldn't, the soldiers were rushed him. He had to block the path. Not to mention, there were other ship which they could use. He has to make sure none go to other ship until the their was far away.
Ignoring the girls screams. Thor rushed at the soilders.
The first swung high, but Thor ducked and drove his knee into the man's gut, folding him in half before hurling him into the sea. Another tried to slash his back, but Thor spun, hammering Mjolnir right into the man's face, breaking his jaw with a sickening crunch.
There was no doubnt the man was death after that impact.
Still they came.
"Six, seven, eight."
"Eight Guard and more would come in few more minutes." He quickly caculated his escape route. That has to be after ending the eight guards in front of him. That only when he could go after the ship.
Good thing he knew swimming.
Thor fought like a storm given flesh. He tore a spear from one man's grip and spun it like a staff, knocking two into the water, then broke it clean across another's skull. Blood sprayed, men screamed, and still Thor did not stop.
As the battle progresses, his andraline was rising and so was his power rising up right.
Someone said well, there is no better teacher then real fight. He was gaining more control over his power, much better than any training could ever provide him.
Sparks of lightning appear around Mjolnir, dancing around his dense dark surface, a sigh that Thor was unconsciously using hs power in battle.
Just couldn't control it perfectly just yet.
Behind him, the ship was pulling away. But more guards were running down the pier, shouting, crossbows raised. He needed to hold them off until the ship was far enough from the dock.
Thor ripped a shield from a fallen man and used it to block the first volley of bolts, the wood splintering as he charged. He smashed into the line of soldiers, scattering them like straw before the wind, Mjolnir with thunder sparkling around it crushed bone and steel alike.
"What is this man ?" That last attack with Mjolnir specially send three men flying back, if the attack itself didn't knocked them out then the high voltage from that attack did.
Fear finally was starting to creep onto their faces. They weren't expecting a single man to already kill this many of them. Facing him looked like facing a demon from myth.
It was like the stranger was himself came to take their lives.
Finally, the ship was clear, sails billowing, moving into the deeper water. Thor glanced back. The girls were on deck, watching him with wide eyes. Sansa was clutching the railing, Arya gripping her arm to keep her steady.
"Swim, Thor!" Arya shouted, her voice barely reaching him.
With a grin, Thor threw the broken shield aside, while he like captain's style, he was still better with a hammer.
Almost all the guards were down and those were were alive wouldn't move against him that easily. So without a shred of doubt, he plunged himself down to the water.
The sea was cold, biting into his skin, but Thor's strokes were strong. He cut through the water like a beast.
Turns out that swimming with a hammer at one hand was hard. He had to tow the hammer like a purse around his hand by its strap to move forward.
Every pull brings him closer to the ship. Above, Arya cheered, and Sansa gasped in relief.
But this wasn't he end, Thor took time to get to the ship, the same time it took for more guard to come to the harbour to see what was casing the rukus.
And what they saw left them in disbelief.
Most of the city guards were down, bleeding, not moving and most likely death.
And a sole ship sailed away with a calm breeze.
For few moment nothing happen until finally they took action.
"Inform the king. Ready the bolts, take out the ship. Follow them men."
