Synopsis
Issue One -

Anji: Hi, my name is Anji Rajan. I’m a pretty sweet person if I say so myself. If I had to describe myself as an animal, I’d probably say a deer. Like a beautiful, elegant, yet timid Doe.

She dodges a punch from a man with electricity running from his hands.



Anji: Unfortunately for me, I’m not a doe on the inside, for about two weeks ago I began transforming into an anthropomorphic elephant randomly. Yeah, you thought your week was stressful.



She charges forward at the man, knocking him back with sheer force.



Anji: <span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">So, yeah. I’m writing to you because honestly my mind is a little shaken up about what on earth is going on, so I’m confiding in this diary again until I work out what exactly my condition is, or whether this is some really bad trip.

<span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:700;white-space:pre-wrap;">Anji: <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Oh yeah, and I was just on my way back from school, when this man who shoots lightning from his hands came and attacked me for absolutely no reason. Funny thing is, he proclaims he is Thor, like the norse God. Anyways, enough monologuing, I’m just let my encounter play out from here.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Anji: What am I?

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Thor: You are one of the next. The world belongs to the titans!

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Anji: What does that mean? Why are you here?

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Thor: I am the norse god of thunder, and I am here to destroy you!

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Anji: Jesus, a little dramatic. You don’t even sound Norse.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">He shoots a bolt of lightning at Anji, and she briefly loses consciousness.

<span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:700;white-space:pre-wrap;">Anji: <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">So, at this point I was pretty confused, but with that bolt I has an epiphany. Given my family heritage, and my current role as a She-Elephant, it was possible that maybe I was a reincarnation of Ganesha, the similarly looking Hindu Elephant god.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Like whoa, what if I was a god. And he was a god, and we were battling it out? Like some insane Hunger Games for mythologically figures?

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">So naturally, with those thoughts in my head, naturally I thought I had to defend myself.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">She stands up to the constant arc of electricity, and throws a punch at the man

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:14.666666666666666px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Thor: No! I am Thor! God of thunder!

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Arcs of electricity spark everywhere in his rage.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Anji: Dude, no beard, ho helmet, not even a hammer! What a fake!

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">The two battle in an abandoned factory

<span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:700;white-space:pre-wrap;">Anji: <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Note - He followed me when I was a human. I was on my way back from college, and what do you know, this creep stalks me, leading me here on purpose. As if he wasn’t creepy enough, there’s a white van waiting in the factory he lead me to, presumably to load my dead body into after he fries my poor face off. Sheesh.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Well if he’s going to be creepy and an attempted murderer psycho, I may as well take the creepy side out of the equation.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">She picks up the white van, and throws it at the man. It lands just before him, with a side panel of the van hitting him onto his back.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Thor: That’s it! You have to die!

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Anji: Why? If we are both Gods, we can do good! Together!

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Thor: Never!

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Arcs of lightning begin sparking from his body, as his eyes glow white. He begins to levitate off the ground.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Thor: My ascendance to power requires you to die. It is simply a bridge I have to cross.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Anji runs behind a pile of shipping containers to hide from the lightning.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Anji: I’m sorry! I’m not going to take one for the team on that one!

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">She looks around for something to help her, before seeing a water pipe sticking our of the ground.

<span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:700;white-space:pre-wrap;">Anji: <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Film knowledge 101 taught me that water will beat electricity. What could go wrong?

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Anji: Hey, stupid! Your ‘destiny’ is running away from you! You’ll be the god of nothing soon!

<span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:700;white-space:pre-wrap;">Anji: <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">You need to up my quipping game, Anji.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Thor: Aahhhh! Come to me you beast!

<span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">He floats towards her. <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">He turns the corner to see her with her hands on a water pipe.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Anji: Ascend to this!

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">She rips the front off the pipe sending high pressure water at him. A flash of white and a loud bang follow.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Thor wakes up on the floor, his body spasming from the reaction of electricity and water.

<span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:700;white-space:pre-wrap;">Anji: <span style="font-weight:400;font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">Literally the worst one-liner I’ve ever heard.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Thor: who are you?

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:14.6667px;font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Anji: My name, Is Savanna.

<span style="font-size:14.6667px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:400;font-style:italic;white-space:pre-wrap;">She punches the man with her massive force. Black.
