After the passing of one of the village children, Thor takes it upon himself to ask the Elders for permission to go to the Towns and get more sophisticated medicines should the need arise. Even if he were allowed to go, Thor would still need the consent of the Creatures in the woods.

Sif, an ordinary girl who wants nothing more than to become a shield maiden, gets herself into a lot of trouble when she accidentally kills a witch. Worse than that, the witch's father is furious and he wants revenge. Wizard of Oz AU, without the singing midgets and flying monkeys. Despite the cover image, this is NOT a Sifki fic. Rated M because people die and Loki's a crazy mofo.
