The Wisdom of Solomon answered, briefly, and cryptically.
Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished, but those who are righteous will go free.
Cap knew he needed to ponder this, but didn't have time. Thor was no weakling, and quickly shrugged off the full-nelson by hurling Cap over his back, loosening his grip, and sending Cap crashing headlong into the Chaos-Keeper.
It writhed around Cap and the Chalice, and with a voice like rusted grating cans sliding within each other it simply said I'll take that...
That done, the Chalice was pulled from Captain Marvel's grip and the Chaos-Keeper 'blinked' out of sight. Where it had gone was anyone's guess.
Where Thor was turned out to be an entirely different matter. As Cap looked up, flat on his back, Thor stood over him - ready to deliver a crushing blow with his hammer.
"For glory! For Asgard!" he screamed, a berserker rage upon him.
The hammer came down...
...and that was the last thing Cap remembered.
* * * *
Cap awoke sometime later... with the impression that hours had passed. Thor was gone, his errand for Eternity completed, and so was the Chaos-Keeper. Unfortunately, the Chalice was now missing as well.
Cap moaned, partly from the pain in his skull and partly from the realization that he'd allowed himself to be defeated by yet another 'thunder-god'. He silently vowed that, given the opportunity, it would NOT happen a third time.
He stood up, and shook off the feelings of melancholy. He had a job to do, one that was far more important than a notch in his combat belt. But how to start? Where to begin?
He consulted the Wisdom of Solomon, and a thought came to him: Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is found in those who take advice. Seek the being known to you as Rameriel.
