ask-the-mighty-thor:

Odin’s beard — why would you want such a thing, Greyface?

That is … that is conceding defeat!

This life is but an endless battle, you see! It is forever attempting to mock you, to best you; battle after battle, it is a vicious cycle. But you must not let it triumph over you! I know you are braver than that — I know that you have the capability to be the strongest warrior Midgard has ever seen!

When all seems lost, always remember to scrape yourself from the unforgiving earth and remind Life that it shall not be victorious. Not while there is air in your lungs, and blood ever-coursing through your veins!  

And, Greyface — never forget that you always have a friend and ally in myself. That is essential, in this battle. Allies. One cannot win a war alone.

And you have one in me. I swear it to you.
