Theology 101
"Alright class, let's have a quick summary of the lesson today. Loki tricked Baldr's brother, Hodur, into killing Baldr with a twig of mistletoe. Because of this, Loki was chained to three boulders deep under the earth, with a snake dripping venom unto his eyes. His wife, Sigyn, stayed faithful to him all throughout, catching the snake's venom with a little bowl. But when the bowl is full, she has to leave him to empty it. When she does this, the venom drips unto the trickster god, making him writhe in pain. This causes earthquakes. Loki will only be released when Ragnarok comes." Professor Crescence Hyrule took a deep breath and smiled reassuringly at his class.
"Now, can anyone tell me what the first 9 runes are called and what they do?" He looked around, searching for a face that didn't look confused… Or sleepy. His search ending in vain, he finally just closed his eyes and poked his finger at the class list. He glanced at the name his finger landed on, and then announced the name to the class. "Prophesy Hyrule!"
Prophesy sat at his desk near the window, watching the pretty new teacher, Carol Hart, teach her students. Her class was seated below the apple tree in the church garden; the students sitting down on the grass and among the flowers, Miss Hart taking a seat on a handy gray boulder. He was hardly aware of the odd noises in the classroom (the class was usually as silent as a grave). He ignored his seatmate Natsumi's persistent pokes to his side. He snapped back to reality when a hand waved in front of his face, disrupting his view. "Huh? What gives!" He angrily looked up at the person whose hand was in between him and the window. His stormy blue eyes widened when he saw who it was. "Oh. Uh, hi Sir."
The professor chuckled. "Welcome back, Proph. You're physically present, but mentally absent, eh?" Prophesy hung his head, covering his face with long, blue, strands of hair. His teacher chuckled softly again. "Don't worry, I won't punish you. If I were in your position, I'd surely do the same thing. Miss Carol Hart does make a lovely view, doesn't she?" The boy felt his face heat up as his classmates tittered. The teacher went back to the blackboard and started writing something on it. As he wrote, he spoke to the class. "Our next lesson will be about the Valkyries, so you guys should maybe do some advanced reading on them. Be sure to study our past lessons, because we'll be having a surprise quiz on Friday." He turned around and winked at the class. He sat behind his desk then waved towards the door. "Class dismissed."
At that, the students stood up and dutifully recited, "Goodbye and thank you, Mr. Hyrule." Prophesy sighed and started gathering his things. It was really hard having your brother as your professor.
