Chapter 7: The explanation

The two of them walked around for a while. They explored the special class building first and then proceeded into the school grounds. The school was big. There were 4 class room buildings all in all: 3 for normal classes, one for each year and the fourth one was for the S class. It also had a gym, swimming pool, football, baseball and tennis courts. Behind the school was a huge garden, and that was where the cafeteria was.

Odin and Frigg decided to visit the garden and maybe enjoy a cup of tea while waiting for Thor and Syf. But on their way there they encountered someone, who made Frigg's heart stop for the second time. It was another man with orange-brown hair, his eyes were closed, but he was still able to walk like he could see where was going. He turned to us as we walked towards him. "Hm? It's surprising to meet students here at this hour? The classes are still in session, right? Or maybe you are S class students?" He asked smiling a bit, his eyes didn't open, which confirmed Odin's assumption of him being blind.

"Ah yes, we are 1st year S class students." Odin answered as he noticed that Frigg won't be able to say anything right now. "I'm Odin and she is Frigg."

"Oh, nice to meet you then. Would you like to join me for some tea? My name is Hohdr, I'm the students advisor of this school."

"Well, we were going to have some tea anyway." Odin said as he looked at Frigg and saw her nod "So it will be our pleasure to accompany you."

So the three went to a table, which was next to a tree, and ordered Earl grey along with some sweet treats.

"So…" Hodhr said "Is there something bothering you, Frigg? My sight have been taken away, but in exchange my senses have been enhanced. And my senses are telling me that you have been unwell since you met me?"

Frigg startled "Well, that's…"

Odin looked at her, a part of him hoped that she would open up and talk about her problems.

"I know that you might be unsure about telling somebody else about your problems, especially on your first time meeting them, but I'm the student advisor, I should be able to help you. However, if talking openly in a crowded place like this makes you uncomfortable, then you can come to my office later."

Frigg shook her head "No it's alright, it does concern Odin here, maybe… a bit… and maybe, it is somehow relevant to you as well…" Frigg said then she started to tell them about her dreams and then about what happened in class and then about what she felt when she met Barld and Hodhr "That should be all…"

Hodhr nodded and smiled "Before I tell you my thoughts about this, Odin, can you tell me your side of the story as well?"

"How - ?" Odin asked startled, Frigg turned looking at him

"I told you that my senses are better than normal people."

Now, it was Odin's turn, well, the only thing he had to say was about the dream he had this morning. Frigg blushed as she listened to him speaking, the girl in his dream somehow reminded her about herself

Hodhr was smiling even wider now "I see… Now look here, it isn't impossible…" he thought for a while "No, let me put it this way, do you believe in the existence of your previous lives? I mean, do you believe that you had a previous life?"

Odin and Frigg fell silent

"Well, I do. And the truth is that I also felt something when I met you two. Something nostalgic… I think my brother had felt the same thing to"

"Brother?" Frigg asked

"Hm? Barld , I mean, he is my older brother."

"Really? No wonder you two resemble each other bit." Frigg said

"You think so? Anyway, my thoughts about this is that we have met each other in our previous life and maybe not just met, but you might have been my mother, according to your dream and what you felt towards us. And you, Odin, might have been Frigg's husband, in other words, our father… or something like that." That statement made the both of us blush "I think most of our memories about our previous lives should have been deleted after we died, so that's why most of us don't remember about it. However, there might be some really strong feelings that couldn't be deleted will be carried on to the next life. I don't know what are your thought about this, but don't bother yourself too much about it. The past is the past, it can't be changed, it is more important to live your current life…" he paused a bit, thinking that he might have been a bit straightforward "But those feelings also shouldn't be regarded as nothing less. If your past life had went through all the trouble of delivering those memories to you to this life, ten those feeling must have been important to you, so you should treasure it."

Odin and Frigg didn't say anything, but just listened carefully to what Hodhr was talking, thinking what should they do with these feelings

"Now then, I have to go now, it's lunch time already, have a nice meal." he stood up and both Odin and Frigg stood up as well

"Thank you very much for your time, Mr. Hodhr" Frigg said

"It's nothing as long as I was able to help you" he said and walked away.

Frigg sat down, looking down a bit

"Are you alright?" Odin asked, sitting down himself

"Yes…" Frigg answered "Do you believe in what he said?"

"About how humans can reincarnate and about our past lives? Yes… I think I do…. I can't deny what I'm feeling right now anyway…" he mumbled the last part so that Frigg couldn't hear him as he looked at her

"Me too… I think after I have known what these feelings were, they seems to have calmed down." She looked up, smiling at Odin

"Hm~" Odin smirked "That means that the part about you being my wife previously is true too?"

Frigg blushed, but regained her composure immediately and joked back in a seducing tone of voice "Maybe~" which made Odin flinch back a little, but he let out a small laugh after a while, Frigg then smiled too…

However, just after a few seconds, they felt a murderous aura coming from behind them… it was, of course, coming from Thor, with Syf standing next to him waving her hand to the couple.

"O.D.I.N!" Thor hissed "WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT FRIGG BEING YOU WIFE?" Thor grabbed Odin by his collar… I'm having a dejavu here…. "Do you really want to die by my hands that much?"

"Thor…" Odin sighed

"Brother, stop it! Everyone is looking!" Frigg said

"That's right, Thor, they must have been joking" Sif smiled winking understandingly to Frigg "Let us eat, I'm getting a bit hungry"

"Alright!" Thor smiled sheepishly, dropping Odin and walked to Sif's side "Let us eat then!"

"Are you alright?" Frigg helped Odin up

"I'm okay. I think I should get used to this soon." He chuckled

"True" Frigg said "But that is if you want to be together with me" she joked

Odin just smiled mysteriously, but just changed the topic "Let's not make them wait, we'd better go now."

"Alright then." Frigg smiled knowingly
