THE ASGARDIAN THOR: ALIENS ARE APPARENTLY REAL AND THEY APOLOGIZE

THOR, the acclaimed God of Thunder and extra-dimensional, said on Saturday, the 25th, that he has officially rescinded his declaration of war on Latveria in a private interview.

Thor sat on a metal chair, dressed completely in bulky armor, directly in front of several reporters. He had walked into the room moments before, cape whipping around, and demanded to speak with a journalist.

The whole room had stared at him for several seconds. Then the entire place erupted. The old-timers claimed that had not seen a thing like it since Watergate.

"I have sought all of you for a dual purpose," Thor said, his voice booming. "I wish to publicly apologize to the citizens of Latveria. They are a good, hard-working, loyal people, and deserve better than my harsh words and rash actions. And second, I am rescinding my declaration of war on Latveria," Thor said.

Earlier in August there were reports from Latveria, an isolated country in Eastern Europe, that Thor had met with the country's dictator and declared war. Since then, there has been some speculation as to what transpired, and if Latveria was in some way connected to the invasion in Manhattan just months before August.

"That is a private matter, which will likely not see conclusion," Thor said, when asked what transpired between he and the Latverian dictator. "The countries of Earth must seek unity in the days to come, and I am here to see that goal realized," Thor said.

(Included is a picture of Thor from the interview. He sits in a chair, fully clad in armor, with his hair swept. There is a broad, charming smile on his expression - one he often wears after a bit of laughter).

The spell upon Valkyrie has been dealt with.

Be wary of Enchantress. Her spells are powerful, and are capable of lingering for vast periods of time. 'twould seem she receives some measure of joy from manipulation. I do not think her actions have been tactical, but are rather meant to achieve some measure of petty pleasure.

If you believe you have been under her spell, seek me. I will see it removed. If you are not certain, but have met with her in the past, contact me regardless. If you have provided a report in the past you needn't contact me, lest you fear Amora has caused you lingering harm.

Yesterday I traveled to Latveria in search of my brother, Loki. I happened upon Doomstadt, a town in the middle of lovely countryside. After landing, I was immediately surrounded by men with normal firearms. We had a brief exchange before I was invited to enjoy the city, with an escort. I demanded to see Doom, but enjoyed some food before my appointment.

Doom eventually called me to court. He resides in a castle.

We met briefly. I told Doom I wanted my brother. Doom accused me of being rude. I accused him of being a thief. At this point, he used some power to push me backward. I bid him release me. He bid me goodbye. I told him I was not leaving without information about my brother.

I am surprised to say that Doom possesses incredible power. He can generate some sort of field that prevents movement. We had a bout, the result of which is Asgard's declaration of war.

At any rate, he flung me out of his window. When I woke up, I was buried inside a mountain, and wounded.

I flew home of my own power.

I will seek out and speak to this woman you found. Thank you for your mail. And also, be wary of those who call themselves of Asgard, or say they are my acquaintance. We should speak soon on matters of great importance. Um. I am not certain how to stop this message. (there are twenty extra seconds of windy sounds before the message ends).

Thor's voice speaks through what sounds like high winds, "I've discovered another Asgardian on Earth. She fled before I could apprehend her. I am trying to find her again." His voice quiets afterwards and the message ends.
