—Thor... And what does a child deserve? What do they deserve who have fought tooth and nail? Who fight on still? Am I to surrender before they do? What would that make me? I say thee nay, nothing-believer. I say never. If there are but a thousand on the Earth who embrace the warmth in their souls--Who seek kindness, who share justice and love--I will fight for that thousand! If there are but a hundred, I will fight! If there are ten--I will fight! If there is only one soul remaining upon the whole Earth who knows love, I will battle to the end for that one! And they for me! To say otherwise is to give up! And I will not give up, Thanos. I cannot give up. We cannot give up.

Synopsis for "Two Did Enter"
Skurge the Executioner stands in the way of Thor, remembering how he got there. How he died in place of Thor[1], and continued to cross back and forth from death to life and back again. In Valhalla, he went to Odin and agreed to pay a huge price to be returned once more to life in order to prevent Thor's death. Behind the gate to Utgard, Thor sees Thanos taunting him, but Skurge doesn't see or hear him at all. Skurge finally convinces Thor to let him come into Utgard with him. After crossing through the gate, a thick fog engulfs them and they realize that they are already at Utgardhall and in Utgard-Loki's trap.

THE EXECUTIONER RETURNS! AND THANOS AWAITS… • The Odinson stood at a gate in a dark wood.

• This is the story of the IMMORTAL THOR…and the door into darkness.
