Flashback
"Clarisse, this is your teacher, Paula."
The woman was tall and lean. Her light brown hair cascaded on her shoulder and framed an angular face. She had such franc eyes! They gleamed in the light of the morning sun with the fire of a warrior.
That morning Clarisse had been woken up at dawn to work. Without any explanation, they had told her to start her chores earlier than accustomed.
So, that was the reason. Her mentor looked so impressive! How could she ever be like her one day? Those were the thoughts of a little girl who was used to being handed dirty laundry by juvenile hunters who came back after their first mission feeling all mighty. They had nothing in common with Paula.
"Clarisse, that's a really unfit name for you" said Paula "Who gave it to you?"
"My parents did"
""My parents did, Ms. Paula"", scolded the old servant
Clarisse repeated.
"Well, it sure seems they didn't know anything about you"
"What do you mean….Ms. Paula?"
"You're definitely not a "Clarisse". I can see it in your eyes. They should have called you Lois."
"Lois?"
"Why, yes. Don't you know Lois Lane, Superman's girlfriend?"
"I don't know her, Ms. Paula."
"Of course you don't, Superman is a comic!"
"I've never read a comic before."
"Never? Well, it doesn't matter. Your new name is Lois, understood?"
"Ah…yes, understood, miss."
"Good. Come with me, I just came back from a mission and my luggage needs to be transported."
Note: It'd be nice if you could review. Thanks
