[GL] Aurore

Hermes who just pretended not to see that strange interaction in a snap of his fingers made a beautiful house appear, nothing would be missing and they could live comfortably for 1000 years.

It really didn seem like a bad deal.

But he felt curious about where this story was supposed to go, one day those thousand years would end and how they would choose to live their lives from there?!

Give it time, as Chronos would say. ”Ready. A house with three bedrooms, is ready… ”

Hela walked smoothly to the entrance of the house and turned to Hermes. ”Right. Hermes, you can leave, well talk about the wedding ceremony as soon as she recovers. ”

She hadn intended to invite him inside.

Shed used up all her social battery in the short conversation with him on the way from court to Ina.

Now all she wanted to do was rest and make sure her future wife was okay.

Hermes who didn feel offended just nodded, there were gods with much worse temper than Hela… She was really sweet despite being very objective.

He thought briefly about something and seemed to immediately know something important. ”Hm… So see you after 5 days and 4 nights. ”

Inside that place there wasn much to worry about, in the same way that Ina could sit for decades or centuries without eating a measly piece of bread, she could in a few days recover fully as if she had never been chained up a day.

”See ya. ”

Hela nodded and soon closed the door behind her, leaving Hermes alone.

In a few seconds she could feel that he was gone and sighed a little relieved.

She briefly lowered her gaze and could see Ina breathing lightly as she lay in her arms, the woman was so thin and small, she felt wrong in her heart.

Hela briefly observed the house and it was all put on a single floor, which would facilitate Inas circulation, she was relieved to note that Hermes had good taste and common sense.

Despite her mixed feelings, Hela always felt very concerned for everyone, she was really bothered by injustices or misfortunes.

She didn like to see people suffering and knowing that Ina could live peacefully calmed her down.

Ina who sensed Helas softness could sense the intrinsic concern about her and had already become used to people being frightened or repulsed by her not having good eyes or by her weak body.

Some teased as if that made them superior.

Ina didn have a sad or complicated history.

Well, maybe she did, but she didn see herself as a victim.

She was born prematurely and grew up sightless, with hungry and abandoned by her family she wandered for days and nights through war-torn lands.

One day she could smell a sweet scent and followed it, until she suddenly felt the light and soft touch on her feet.

She was facing a peach tree.

And with each step she took, she could feel peaches piling up, more and more were on the ground completely ready and ripe to satisfy the hunger of those in need.

Her hunger didn allow her to think much about it and she ate more peaches than she could count.

At one point she knew that it was the fruit of eternal life and as punishment she would take care of it with her own life.

It didn take long for her to understand that she most likely died of hunger and cold, but when she died she was lost in the immensity of the lands ruled by the gods and managed to enter paradise.

Ejon punished her, but it was like a father trying to teach his daughter something.

He made her responsible for the key to paradise and the bearer of the secret of eternal life, the fruit of immortality.

In this way she lived for years and years, until she was arrested and thrown into that strange place with chains on her arms and legs.

Ina didn feel unhappy, she was always very resigned about her own state and fate.

Some people seemed predestined to live in the midst of sadness and chaos, others filled with joy and abundance.

Shes always seemed to have a rough life and shes been graced with a life and now a marriage.

It wasn so bad.

She briefly touched the robes that covered Hela and easily recognized armor.

She had a shallow knowledge of Nords, but she knew they were naturally warriors.

She could understand in her heart that Hela most likely shared this pro-war sentiment.

But the woman holding her looked really soft.

The two remained silent as steps were taken by Hela, timidly she walked through the house and knew the rooms.

Ina felt curious about Hela. ”You smell woody… I like… ”

She gently hugged her and felt more easily the perfume that exhaled from Hela.

An intrinsic scent of freedom and nature.

Wild, rough, but sweet.

Hela who was completely taken aback could feel her face getting hot, no one had ever commented on this to her.

It most likely smelled woody because it was also one of the fruits of Yggdrasil.

The tree, which is the axis of the world, has the answer to everything and owns everything.

There is nothing that Yggdrasil doesn know or doesn have a sense of belonging.

Everything is.

Ina could feel the light touch on the top of her head and she smiled in her heart, Hela looked like a frightened child, but trying to venture out somehow by getting to know her.

Timidly Helas voice came up, low and husky. ”You smell like peach blossom. ”

Ina nodded, she really should smell like peaches.

The fruit of eternal life was a peach after all.

”You like? ”

Hela swallowed hard, not used to being this close to someone let alone talking so softly.

Her throat was dry and her heart was pounding.

”Yea. I really like… ”

Hela could sense Inas dirty clothes, it must have been very uncomfortable.

Well, maybe a bath would be in order.

In reality, Inas entire state seemed complicated.

Dirty clothes were the least of it, she didn look healthy.

In addition to thin she was full of bruises.

Hela could be pretty sure that Ina was in pain all over her body.

She shyly asked. ”Do you want to take a shower? ”

Ina heard the question and couldn help but laugh a little, it was really cute the way Hela spoke.

Nodding briefly, she really wanted a shower. ”I want. ”

Hela nodded and walked with Ina still in her arms looking for the best room, she didn have too many problems and would sleep anywhere but Ina didn look in the right health for that.

It seemed obvious that she should have the best room.

Even though they were about to get married, it wasn like they were really choosing to.

Just deal with it like two good friends.

Besides, it didn make much sense that Hermes had made a three-bedroom house. Two wasn enough?!

Finally she found what she was looking for, there was a corridor that led to the rooms and the last one was the biggest one.

She walked over to the bed and gently let Ina rest on the soft mattress.

Ina could smell the place, there was a new and clean smell, she felt glad that Hermes had prepared somewhere for the two of them to stay.

Ina had a good relationship with Hermes, he would often come over and offer her food, but mostly he kept her company by talking about how boring and boring his days were.

But she enjoyed, she truly enjoyed the short conversations with Hermes.

Well, she now had Hela and that made her happy somehow, even if they didn know each other or hadn decided on all that.

Hela who glared from time to time if Ina was okay.

She couldn control her emotions very well and also didn understand why she felt that way, but she seemed immersed in all those unknown sensations.

She was terrifying in so many ways.

She leaned against the cool wall and sighed.

Hela concentrated only on pouring the water, after all, who would say that her punishment would be to be on her honeymoon with another woman?!

Ina, who still wasn used to Helas quiet and silent manner, wondered for a few seconds if everything was okay inside the bathroom. ”Everything is fine? ”

Hela positioned herself out of the bathroom and saw Ina sitting on the mattress, she smiled a little awkwardly that everything was so different from what she expected.

Well, maybe she hated Zeus a little less at that moment.

”Yes, I am letting the water fill the bathtub… ”

She walked over to Ina and sat next to her on the mattress.

Ina felt the slight movement on the mattress and smiled.

She stretched out her hands and touched something soft, most likely one of Helas arms, she moved with difficulty to finally approach and surprisingly received help from Hela who pulled her lightly by the waist.

Ina felt tired, especially tired.

She lay down briefly on Helas shoulder and sighed.

Hela followed all that, not knowing where to touch or what to say, she just let Ina act freely.

”You
e tired… Do you want to get in the bathtub anyway? ”

Ina nodded and despite being exhausted she could still endure a shower. ”Everything is fine. ”

Hela despite feeling a little insecure agreed, anyway if she was around nothing would happen to Ina. ”Well… Alright… After the shower, lets eat something and get some sleep. ”

Ina nodded as she wrapped herself back in Helas arms.

So comfortable.

Hela held Ina as if she held something precious and indeed she was precious.

Somehow Hela couldn bring herself to have some sort of dislike for the sweetness that oozed from Ina, she just wanted to be able to protect her.

She looked like she had suffered so much for all that time she was trapped, she wouldn allow it again.

The gods so wanted them to marry, so they would.

But now Hela was willing to have only Ina in her heart.
