Blind hearts and unbridled fantasies.

Hela glanced at her watch and it didn't take long to realize that a lot of time had passed, she needed to get back home and make something delicious for dinner.

In many years of life she didn't care much about her routine, she wasn't even hungry, it didn't matter. But even when Ina still had remnants of her life as a goddess, they created several extremely casual and domestic habits.

Hela didn't have to cook for Ina, but she just enjoyed being in the kitchen and watching Ina happily talk about something.

Hela wasn't much of a talker and stayed that way, but she was open to anything that came from her wife. Pleasing her was a unique pleasure.

She took a deep breath and stretched her arms and legs.

She sat for so long that her body was aching.

Lauren, who was concentrating on the ton of papers on her desk, finally realized that an entire afternoon had already passed.

She watched her advances and it wasn't much, but it was nice to share some time with someone who was interested in what she had to say "Give my love to Ina..."

Hela smiled and finally got up to get her coat. "Come to our house for dinner next week... Set aside a time and if you want to take some books, we don't mind talking about work..."

Lauren smiled excitedly and gave a thumbs up. "I will definitely go!"

Hela nodded and walked briefly to the door, but a few steps away she gave up briefly turning back to Lauren.

"I have a doubt... Why do you dedicate yourself for so many years to studying such a complex subject... There's no way to prove it about Avalon or King Arthur... Don't you feel frustrated?"

Lauren couldn't hide her surprised face, that was a really pertinent question.

"As time went by I asked myself a few times if I should continue dedicating myself to this... The logical answer is no..."

Hela had a confused look on her face... Humans were so complicated.

The more she got to know them the less she understood.

"..."

Lauren smiled sweetly and gently tossed one of the papers in her hand towards the table.

She leaned her back against the back of the chair and eased her thoughts.

"But I'm not looking for logic, I'm not looking for magic or immortality, I just want to be able to confirm my beliefs that something so great once existed... Even mixed with fiction, maybe truths are hidden by melodious verses, who knows?!"

Lauren had a sweet smile on her face, she was passionate about what she did and that was rewarding in some way.

She focused on the study of English literature and was always enchanted by the possibility that something as majestic as the Holy Grail could exist.

It was her lifelong research, but it wasn't the only thing that moved her days.

Anyway, she was happy and satisfied, but to get to that point, she gave up a lot to live that way.

It wasn't easy and it still wasn't easy, every day there were different difficulties.

But it was the life she so desired.

Hela stared at Lauren and let out a short sigh.

"Sounds like a dangerous thought."

Lauren nodded, it really was dangerous. "It really is, but I'm not here as the owner of the truth, but as a good storyteller... I just put the pieces together and look for the logic that governed the world in those small fragments of the past..."

Hela smiled, it was true that many facts were hidden in melodious lines.

A few humans had the blessings and responsibility to perpetuate the existence of the gods in their own way.

Faith had its intrinsic romance.

An idolatry and conjuncture of its own.

It was unique.

Hela finally turned towards the door and waved softly in Lauren's direction. "Sounds good… See you soon Lauren."

Lauren was heart warming, Hela was soft and friendly.

She could say nonsense and Hela would listen without any judgment, after so long staring at judgmental and disdainful looks she finally realized that uncommitted and friendly looks were needed.

"Hela, whenever I tell the other teachers about my thoughts they think I'm going crazy..."

Hela felt surprised and couldn't help but give up her movements to look at Lauren one more time.

Humans were really interesting.

"I'm not here for that... Well, we all have a little bit of wisdom and madness..."

Lauren nodded and smiled, regaining her spirits a bit and feeling refreshed to pursue her research. "Thanks."

Hela just smiled.

She opened the door and left the room.

Lauren stared at the closed door for a few seconds and smiled, Hela seemed like a good person.

She turned her attention back to the papers and went about her work, not really caring whether or not she was getting late.

Hela walked softly down the hall and it didn't take long for her to see a girl coming in the opposite direction from her.

She didn't pay much attention to this and briefly observed the sky still lit up, blue and cloudless.

She was distracted by the thought of Ina, she missed her wife.

But she was pulled out of her thoughts by feeling the strong shock against her body.

The girl who was coming towards her before, was so unaware when Hela and the two crashed into each other.

The girl just didn't fall because Hela prevented her from losing her balance.

She held her by the waist and held her in your arms briefly.

"Are you okay?"

The girl took a few moments to properly support herself on her own feet, she had lost her balance after slipping on the smooth floor, it was really a relief to have been held by someone.

The girl finally looked up and met Hela's gentle smile and she couldn't help but stare at the woman's beauty.

Hela felt particularly funny, the girl was staring at her very intensely.

Maybe too intense, but she didn't understand much about what to expect from humans.

She simply ignored those thoughts and watched to see if the girl was okay.

Aside from the slight blush on her cheeks nothing seemed out of place, she felt relieved. "What is your name?"

The girl shyly looked away from her and with a hoarse voice answered. "My name is Alexa... Second year of history."

Hela nodded and smiled. "I'm Hela, professor of Norse Mythology... Be careful not to get hurt next time."

The girl nodded quickly, her face flushed with embarrassment.

That was the new teacher everyone was talking about.

She didn't look so scary, she actually looked sweet and soft.

That woman made your heart tremble.

If that teacher hadn't caught her she would have fallen shamefully backwards, but she couldn't say whether it was more shameful to be introduced in that situation or to have landed on her face.

All those emotions were very different.

Alexa wasn't shy, but she felt her face warm as she looked at her new teacher.

Her beauty was elegant and strong, it seemed impossible not to imagine that she could easily be mistaken for some kind of celebrity.

Her heart was racing and she could only vaguely remember the moments that had just passed.

The feel of firm hands holding her waist and the woody scent she felt against her nose.

She didn't know much about the teacher, but she longed to get to know her better, to be able to see more about her.

But at that moment all she could do was stare at her own feet.

"... Sorry..."

Hela looked at the girl one more time and turned her face away feeling intrigued.

That girl could barely look her in the eyes, she sighed a little tired, but soon recovered her good mood.

There was nothing Hela could do, humans had their own ways.

"See you next time… Have a nice day."

The girl nodded and all she heard was the sound of footsteps finally appearing and gradually moving away. She looked back and could no longer see the teacher.

She leaned her back against the wall and filled her lungs with air.

She was filled with anxiety and anticipation.

But finally she laughed to herself, that teacher didn't do anything and without much effort made her heart race like crazy.

Alexa couldn't wait to have her first class with Hela.

It didn't take long for Hela to see Jude and waved her gently goodbye.

As she walked out of the building she could easily notice the pleasant atmosphere.

The weather was good and life inside the university was interesting and funny.

She felt satisfied and filled with anticipation to find Ina.

She made the same journey and returned home in more hurried steps.
