Hela sighed deeply in pure boredom. "That's quite a sigh that you let out." Another voice said and the queen of the death immediately sat up straight at recognising the queen of Asgard, Frigga and nodded her head in respect, before pulling a face. "I'm just bored." She muttered and Frigga hummed in thought. "I might have a solution for that." She said and Hela raised an eyebrow at that, before asking what the solution was.
"Odin wants you gone. He is scared that you will invoke Ragnarok. This crystal will send you to another world where you can live a normal life, but you will not remember who you are, until the moment that you save someone else's life." Frigga said, pulling out a small crystal out of the small travel bag that she was carrying. Hela walked towards her and took the crystal over, turning it over in her hands.
"What's the catch?" She asked seriously. Frigga bit her lip. "Odin said that living a true, mortal life with all its pain and fragility was enough." She replied softly and Hela scoffed. "Of course did he say that." She muttered, before looking down at the crystal. "Do I break it?" She asked and Frigga nodded. Looking back at her throne, Hela had to choose between power and boredom or the exciting and unknown.
She turned back to Frigga and smirked. "Who will take care of this place?" She asked. "We will pick someone. Just know that if you do this, you will be at the mercy of the gods from wherever you land." Frigga warned and Hela shrugged casually at that. "I'm alright with that." She said, before taking a few steps back and bowing one last time. She crushed the crystal and everything went black.

Alerie Tyrell was taking a stroll trough the famous gardens of Highgarden, enjoying a bit of peace and quiet while she could. Her children, Loras and Margaery, were with their tutors and her husband was busy speaking with his mother. She took a deep breath and smelled all the different flowers. She relaxed and smiled. She stopped walking when she suddenly heard a baby cry.
Frowning in confusion, she followed the sound and found a baby girl lying in the midst of the roses. Alerie carefully managed to get her out. "How did you get in there, sweetie?" She asked, holding the baby to her chest. Sensing that she wasn't alone anymore, the baby quieted and big, green eyes looked at the woman. "Oh, you poor thing. You must be hungry." Alerie said, before hurrying back inside.
She quickly went to the kitchens and made sure that the baby got fed and cleaned. She went through her daughter's old baby clothing to see if anything fitted the baby. At this point, her husband Mace Tyrell had heard about the mysterious baby and went to find her with his mother Olenna. "My love, what is this I hear about a baby?" He asked her once he had found her. Alerie smiled at him and took the baby from a handmaiden, showing her to her husband and mother-in-law.
"I found her crying in the gardens. I already have servants go and look for her parents, but no such luck until now." She told them. Lady Olenna took the baby over from her and looked her over. The baby smiled and cooed, patting the old woman's cheek. Olenna chuckled softly. "Well, if no one claims her, then she will be part of our family." She stated.Alerie beamed at her, having hoped that she would say that.
Mace was a bit hesitant, but he knew that he couldn't go up against both his wife and mother at the same time, so he let it be. Maybe, this was a good thing. He took a closer look at the baby and had to admit that she was a very beautiful and adorable child. Olenna handed her over to him and he held her carefully. The baby smiled at him too and he could feel his heart melt. Maybe, adopting her wouldn't be such a bad idea
When no one had made themselves known after a few days, Alerie and Mace kept their word and adopted her into the family, starting with making a formal request to the capital. King Robert was too drunk to even read it, so queen Cersei granted the request, a decision that would haunt her one day, even if she didn't know it at the time. At that point, she was all too happy to keep the Tyrells satisfied
The ruling couple of the reach formally introduced their new daughter to their other children after the request had been granted. The two children knocked on the door of their parent's chambers and were quickly allowed inside. They saw their mother standing next to a crib that was next to her bed. Alerie looked up and smiled at her older children, before beckoning them to come closer.
They hesitantly listened to her and came to stand next to her. She pulled a piece of cloth that hung from the crib away and revealed the sleeping baby. Loras and Margaery had met her already, but this was the first time that they would meet her as their little sister. Alerie smiled down at her children and caressed Margaery's hair. "Loras, Margaery. I want you to meet your new little sister: Helaine Tyrell
