==Full Text==
The heavily cloaked Hel sat with her hands folded at the table within the crowded tavern, and starred grimly towards the door. Since her talk with Stonegit and camping trip with Jari, Hel could feel even more of her former strength returning to her. It was like a drop in an ocean. And even though a drop was tremendous to her mortal body, it was a far cry from what she needed to secure this planet from Frigga.
The meeting with Akkey and some of the other rebellion officials had been organized as discreetly as possible and yet…
This is going to suck…
Was Hel’s only thought.

Before any such group could fetch her, there was a sudden hum beneath her, and she fell through an incredibly familiar portal, getting deposited in one of the Conclave’s old war bunkers underneath the Jaw. It was well-lit, but secure, as promised by Lila, and there were only three people inside–Akkey, Milae, and a young man strikingly similar to the goat half-breed in appearance, but not in mannerisms. Milae looked stormy but composed, and his companion looked jittery and anxious beyond belief. He jumped at Hel’s appearance and quickly looked over at Milae, who stepped forward.
“Apologies. We needed to speak with you before any kind of proper meeting occurs. Are you well?”

“No.” Hel said flatly, even though she look unfazed by the teleportation. With an odd realization, the deity noticed that the more supernatural something felt, the more casual she felt about it. Teleportation? No big deal. Needing a nap? A near tragedy. 
She straightened. “You were actually who I intended to see so this works out well. But no. No I’m pretty fucking far from okay on account that I fit in this room.”

“The sentiment is shared. We’d like to catch up on any developments so far, if there are any.”
Yun hesitantly leaned around Milae, his teeth worrying against the inside of his cheek. “Hey,” he said softly, giving a little wave. The knowledge that he was now more powerful than Hel’s current form had been impossible to swallow. Now, it was absolutely believable.

Hel gave a dramatic sigh. “Hi Yun…” she then glanced around as she lowered her hood a little. “How much do you already know? I’m afraid I don’t have much to offer. I have some of my abilities back, but at this point any one of you would be able to kick my ass.”
She folded her arms, glanced at Akkey, and glared. “And not a peep out of you about it agent.”

After her job to teleport her divine boss into their very human sized room, Akkey had stood quietly the entire time, back against the wall, legs crossed, mouth and chin hidden behind a thin hand as she leaned an elbow on the other one, completely silent as she processed the figure before her.
She was speechless.
Hel was, and always has been untouchable. A goddess that was responsible for hers and all her coworkers’ agent abilities, the protection of her home, an all knowing cosmic deity with the power to wipe out their entire population if she so wished. And during this whole time, as panicked as she’d been, some small, tiny portion at the back of her mind had hoped it was all just a prank. A dream. Or maybe they got the wrong half breed. But that tongue and attitude was undeniably her, and the reality of the situation only fully, truly, really dawned on her now.
The goddess Hel.
Was here. In Aidorin.
Hidden in a bunker.
Almost powerless.
As a mortal frog half breed.
It was a long few minutes before Akkey finally made any type of movement, turning in her place and leaning one hand on the wall, as she stared down at her feet with her other hand on her hip. Her dark hair now hung long and loose, and hid her face from view, but they could see the slightest of trembles in her shoulders.
“I could… kick Hel’s ass…” she said, barely a whisper, her voice an unrecognizable mix of incredulity, bewilderment, and amazement, but one thing was clear.
Akkey was laughing.
moe-lazyeye
Hel stamped her foot. “Oh shut the fuck up!” She vented in an exasperated tone. “I knew it, I knew you would do this. You’re like a bad little kid, you’re-” She stopped cold. “No…” she breathed as she starred at Akkey.
A hand slowly came up to measure the top of her head, and then peer across the room at the half breed.
4.0 ft!? I’m SHORTER than her!?
Hel’s hand snapped back down as her lips pressed together. “I’m going to fire you.” She said darkly.

“I am literally your best employee,” it sent her into another giggling fit that she sincerely tried to keep to herself, but the occasional chuckle could be heard.
Akkey turned and joined the seidkonur pair, standing all at practically the same heights, regarding the half breed that barely came up to their armpits, keeping her hand over her mouth in the same position to keep herself from spiralling further into that jumble of amused anxiety and confusion. She took a deep breath, “Okay so we can kick your ass–” she had to stop herself and look away again before burst into laughter once more. She shook her head, “–but you just said you have some of your abilities back. We were told you were stripped of all your powers, so that’s good news. How’d that happen?”
moe-lazyeye
Hel had her arms crossed very tightly at this point. 
“One, stop dropping side comments that’ll make Juro jealous, even if they are true. And two, I hope you realizes the extend at which I’m going to pummel you when I get myself back in order buck-o.” She ground out. “Now it’s true I- For fucks sake s t o p ! - Jesus. Fuck. I’m swearing in other dimensional religions thanks to you.”
She took another breath. “What I was saying, since I am a composed individual, is that my powers were, are, stripped. But They’re slowly coming back. I think the deity that did this to me wants me to go on some journey of humility before he returns me to normal.” 
foresight-botgd
“Humility,” Milae cursed quietly.
Yun stepped forward, still anxious, but also fervent. “Th-that’s not so bad, right? We can just…” He rubbed the back of his head, looking between Akkey and Milae. “How do we speed up a journey of humility?”
“If we even can. The stipulations of this…punishment, for lack of a better word…fall to a superior deity.” He addressed Hel. “If you are in a gradual increase of power, I believe we still stand a chance. But we must act as though this will not happen, for the meantime.” This he said pointedly to Yun, who nodded firmly, fingers twisting behind his back. The goat turned back to Hel. “What kind of…experiences should you seek out?”
moe-lazyeye
“Whoa, pause.” Hel held up a finger on either hand. “Stand a chance for what? I still know a lot, but the vast majority of my omnipresence got shut down. What are you all…” Her eyes glanced over Yun specifically. “Preparing for…?”   
Yun looked a little bemused, and Milae nudged him, encouraging him to speak for himself. "Uh...I've been training," he said. "Not that we know exactly what's gonna happen, but...we've been getting me ready for it. Both before and after we heard about you."
moe-lazyeye
“Okay...fair enough.” Hel rubbed her temple. “Look uh...in regards to the lessons, and the expediting of it...I don’t think there’s much of a chance for that. I doubt people trying to do me a bunch of favors strictly to get my powers back will settle well with this placement of ironic justice.” She put her hands to her sides, and then gave a sincere bow. 
“I’m sorry...I brought this upon myself and now you, and this world are in grave danger. If Frigga ever saw me like this, it would be chaos, and I’d be powerless to stop her. And stronger than I used to be or not...I am mortal...if I die, I’m at the mercy of the system I’ve put in place over most of this universe...and that system...simply doesn’t exist without me managing it...”
She drew a shaky breath. “Even if I regained all that powers I’ve already acquired, every single day from this point on, for the duration of a mortal life, it wouldn’t even put a drop back in my bucket...Again...I ask for your forgiveness.”  
foresight-botgd
Yun stepped forward before the other two had a chance to react, and he put his hands at his sides as well, giving a similar, but smaller bow.
"I forgive you, Hel. You have good intentions. You've got just as strong of a will as you did before...I think we can do this."
He glanced over at the others, his face wrought with worry. "Can I hug her?" he whispered.

Akkey's cheeks have been getting redder by the passing second as she tried to keep herself as composed as possible. She waved her dominant hand when he asked, in some defeat, allowing him to do whatever he wanted. The same hand immediately came up behind, and it was only Milae, who was right beside her, that heard the faintest cracking sound as a small sheet appeared in her hidden hand, ready to carve the moment and capture it for eternity onto ice.
moe-lazyeye
"Oh I- whoa okay!" Hel exclaimed as she felt Yun's arms wraps around her. "T-thank you Yun, you're very swee-Oi! Akkey!" She hissed as she glared at the agents ice work. "You're such a dick!"
akkeyagentofhelheim
“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” she quipped, the hum of a portal immediately disappearing along with the cold picture, brought to somewhere only the nix knew. Her face turned serious, finally over her giggling fits, sliding her gaze towards Milae out of the corner of her eye, then back at Yun and Hel who still had each other by the arms, unsure of what to say.
foresight-botgd
Yun was also biting his lips to keep from joining Akkey's gigglefest, and Milae shook his head at both of them, putting a hoof on Yun's shoulder, as he stepped away from Hel.
"I still don't appreciate how this all came to be. But if we can fix it...I would once again be in your debt," he said, "no matter what repayments you may or may not keep track of."
moe-lazyeye
Hel waved a hand. “Even if this could be fixed there would be no repayments, or debts. The days were humans are mandated to answer to gods, under any circumstances, are over as long as I have any say in the matter.”
She ducked her head a little. “That said. I don’t think I have any choice but to lay low. Learn my lessons. And hope that either Frigga doesn’t find out, or that Baldur somehow was exempt from ...’s works.” She cleared her throat. “Pardon. I mean ...’s...” 
She gave a soft cough. “Alright then, saying his name is probably bad for a mortal vessel so I’ll pass this time I guess.”  
foresight-botgd
"Yes, let's...avoid words forbidden for mortal tongues," Milae said sternly. "We will check up on you while you are here, yes? And then continue forward from there."
Yun very much had the inkling to stay by Hel as much as he could, but he understood the danger of hovering around her too much. "Please tell me if there's ever something you need," he told her. "I've been sitting on my hands for a month..."
"You have not."
"Have too."
moe-lazyeye
“I will, and thank you.” Hel said. “The only thing I can think of for now is a discreet means of travel that Frigga is unlikely to pay attention to. Which regretfully may be away from the rebellion…I am guessing I’ll need to see more of humanity to undo this. But at the same time I can’t risk dying for the obvious reasons. For at least today though, I’ll rest here.”
