MasukHearing them all planning my life out for me in the way I had once imagined, minus Atlas, of course, causes tears of joy to fall down my face. I’d waited for so long for a moment like this. To be free that is. I mean… going to school in Asgard isn’t exactly what I had on my list of things to do but
“I don’t know when she will wake up… but it will happen when she’s ready.”That voice. It isn’t one that I recognize, but as I slowly open my eyes, I find that the sights I last remember aren’t the same ones I’m faced with now. The white walls around me cause me to blink back the light invading the
