"Sigh, I am so bored. Why is there nothing to do here anymore? I feel like I am the one getting punished here, even though I am supposed to be the ruler of this place." Hela, the Queen of Helheim, released a bored exhale as she continued fiddling with her fingers to manipulate a couple of undead skeletons, making them dance like puppets under her control. "Leah, do I have anything in my schedule? I just need something to do. I feel like I will become an undead myself if I continue sitting here." She complained in a bored voice before picking up a grape from a plate beside her and tossing it inside her mouth.

The two women were currently in a lush green forest surrounded by tall green mountains and beautiful blue lakes, a calm, serene region that could easily be described as a heavenly location. In fact, it wouldn't be wrong to assume that this part of the realm was built to mirror what most people assumed a good afterlife to look like. After all, the place was modeled to be a resting place for good-natured people as a prize after their death, a heaven for the ones with immense good karma.
"I am sorry, My Lady, but unfortunately, there is nothing for you to do for the next few years. The new judgment system that I implemented can judge souls pretty well even without your help. As for the seal placed over the realm, it shows no signs of weakening, so we are still stuck here for the time being." Leah, Hela's most devoted and loyal servant, responded respectfully, careful not to make direct eye contact with her mistress.

Leah had been serving the Norse goddess of Death for longer than she remembered. Originally, she was an Aesir-Light Elf hybrid before she crossed over to Hel, but after she became Hela's attendant, her race no longer mattered to her or to anyone else in here. After all, Hela was the undisputed mistress of souls from all ten realms, and to her, everyone was just a soul to be collected... although two of the ten realms were no longer part of her primary domain. The curse that Odin had secretly placed on the souls of Angels thousands of years ago to curtail Hela's dominion made sure that her undead army never became too powerful for Asgard and its rulers to face.
