Freya

Chapter 2

“Apolia,” she mentioned her friend’s name when she looked down the bridge where they were standing. A sudden curiosity hits her. The clouds and fags under were very thick.

“What is it?”

“Have you ever known what’s under this bridge? No, not I mean the clouds, okay? I mean what’s under these clouds?” She stared at them moving slowly. “El Reino was in the highest part of the sky, our world and our palace were flying along these beautiful and powerful clouds, but do you know what’s under us?” Freya is always the goddess who had been very curious in different things, just like when her master taught her some spell, Freya asked her how she learned everything and many more. She is always the curious goddess that asking so many things to everyone.

“Under us?” Apolia fell in a deep thought. She sets her arm on her hips and the other one was on her chin, thinking if ever she heard something about it from her mother Esmeralda. “Oh, yes, I remembered something just mom told me.”

“And what is it?”

“That under us, or under our world, there is another dimension that is connected to human world.”

“Human? Is that a name?” Freya stood straight and stared at her. When Apolia wagged her head, it made her more curious about. “Then, what is that?”

“It’s a better word to call mortals.”

“Oh, mortals, I heard it before. Mortals are the other God’s creation, right? But they have short life span and very opposite to us since we are immortals and we have power.” This information she got was from her master. The master might be talking sluggishly sometimes but she is sometimes talkative about the things that she wanted Freya to learn, beside magic.

“Exactly.”

“If that was a human world, then there are mortals under us.”

“Yes, and they are the one that used most of my mother’s creation, humans are using nature. It’s where they can get their supplements, food, water and other things for their living. They are using our creation and also the one that ruined it too. They can be good sometimes and destructive sometimes.”

“Wow! What you’d just told me, really made me curious about. You made me curious about human and their world called Earth.” A smile formed her lips. Her eyes showed how much her interest about the topic and that was uncountable. Their topic turned her up. “I’m curios about their world and how is it working, do they have our majesty like us? How they look and many more.” She looked down the clouds again. “That was amazing, I can’t imagine there are lives under our world.”

Apolia nodded and smiled at her. She leaned forward on the fence. “You will never believe me, Freya, because in their world, men do exist.”

“Men?”

“Men means male humans.”

Freya’s eyes widened. “Oh, my highness! That was amazing! I never seen a man. Because of that additional information, I want to visit their world,” she said with a playful smile on her lips. She did not expect the same expression with Apolia. Both their eyes were shinning. These goddesses are looking for another adventure in their life. “I think we are having the same thing on our minds.”

Apolia nodded. “Yes.” She gave her a genuine smile. “Would you like to visit their world now?”

Freya nodded immediately. “Yes! Yes—but, Apolia, that was forbidden, right? And there is a possibility we receive a punishment.”

“Yes, if they will know. But if not?” They both smiled mischievously

“Then we will not receive any punishment.”

Their conversation ended there when Freya waved her hand, casting some magic and the next thing happened, they were stuck in the middle of the dark.

Year 2021.

“Good morning, Honey.”

Lessan nodded to her mother when they met on the corridor. “Good morning,” he said and smiled at her. She’s wearing a red robe and a coffee cup on her right hand. This is the usual outfit of her mother every morning. “No other business today?”

“Yes, will stay home the whole day.” She smiled at him. “But I will meet some friends tonight, would you like to join us?”

He paused of what just his mom told him. If he’d never know his mom, he will fall in her trap, but since he was Lessan and he knew her mom very well, he immediately wagged his head. He knew that was her mom’s trap again to set him on a dinner date. He’d fell on it before and he ended up left the woman his mom chosen for him that night. He promised himself he’ll never fall on it again. Every mother with a twenty-nine years old son wanted to meet their daughter in law at that age, and he knew it. He understood her mother but his mother did not understand him. He was not ready yet and there so many things he wanted to do more. “Please, Mom, stop setting me up on a date. You know what will I do.” He sighed and walked to pass her.

“Lessan, wait!” She held his hand.

“Mom, please…” He faced him awful and sighed. “You know that I am not ready.”

“Lessan, come on. I’m not forcing you on a marriage, but please at least give me a chance to meet your girlfriend, so I can relax you wouldn’t be alone forever.”
