Rebecca stared up at the being, her heart beating rapidly. He stood at least a foot higher than anyone they had seen thus far, including the twelve-foot-tall Nephilim. His barrel-shaped chest was covered with a brown leather tunic replete with golden symbols and runes that hung past his waist and was cinched with a wide yellow belt. Matching wraps of yellow cloth were wound tightly around his massive legs, starting at his knees and ending at the tops of his ankle-high leather shoes, keeping his tan pants held tightly against his skin. Gauntlets of the same dark leather were strapped tightly to his otherwise bare forearms. He wore no helmet on his head, but had his thick, rust-colored hair pulled back tightly into a braid that was draped over his left shoulder. His beard was gathered into two short braids that hung down from his chin like fangs. Brushing aside the flowing, dark blue cloak that was draped over his left shoulder, the man slipped the handle of his mighty hammer through his belt.

Although Rebecca knew that this man, this thing, was pure evil, she was nevertheless caught off guard by his handsome appearance. His face had a rugged beauty to it that captivated her, and his majesty and power were enticing. The eyes that stared down at her were like deep pools of darkness that could see straight into her soul and read her innermost thoughts.

A voice suddenly spoke from somewhere near the false god. Blinking, Rebecca felt the spell that had bound her loosen its hold. Looking toward the source of the voice, she saw a much smaller figure standing next to the false god, its pale face and clothing was all too familiar.

“A Blood Drinker,” Rebecca heard Mack mutter from somewhere behind her. Glancing in his direction, she saw that his skin was deathly white and he was shaking noticeably. Catching her gaze, Mack stared back at her, his voice quivering. “It said, ‘That is them, Mighty Thor.’ That’s the Norse god of thunder! And the vampire thing is…is dressed like…like one of those we fought off outside the Ark. We must have missed one. If it followed us all the way here then…then it knows where the pyramid is located!”

Battling with her own fear, Rebecca didn’t reply. A command from Thor brought her attention back to him. The false god seemed to be studying her, and, based upon his expression and narrowed eyes, he did not like what he saw. A Naphil suddenly squeezed into the alley and before Rebecca could react, she felt his massive arms scoop her up and carry her out of the alley. Other Nephilim entered the cramped space between the buildings, each one returning with another of her friends. The giants dropped Rebecca, Mack, Jeffrey, and Jerome onto the ground in front of Thor and, after yanking off their robes, they proceeded to remove any and all items they found from their captive’s pockets, including Rebecca’s gun, their commlinks, Noah’s money pouches, and the swords they had acquired from the Blood Drinkers.
