Glinting like a sharp sword in the scorching sunshine, her long, steel-colored hair swung around in sync with her movements. Following the rhythm of the instruments played by various citizens at the plaza of the city. Celebrating a peaceful day without a war at the forefront of their minds.
He stood off to the side, leaning on one of the short, stony fences of the building behind him, soaking up the midday sun. Watching her clap her hands to the beat, a dozen children gravitated around her, equally compelled by her melodic laugh and charm as himself.

Gods...
He thought, his mind wandering to a place without feeling or knowing when one began and one ended.

"...-ey?"
Hela's voice drifted into the forefront of his mind.
