After getting knocked out by the Ghost Rider. Andrew was starting to gain consciences as his eyes began to open. He found himself not in Orario but in a forest.
He was at someone's camp and he could see a sleeping black pegasus at corner of his eye. His chest was on a wooden stump and he was wrapped in ropes. He tried to move his legs. But he can't, because the back of his knees and anckles were cut up.
Shrrrra!
He heard a sword being sharpened near by. He looked to where the sound came from and his face quickly changed to a horrorfied look. Bell in his human form (Don't judge please), was sitting on a log at the campfire sharpening his sword.
Andrew struggled to break free and tried move his legs only to fail. The Rider who heard his grunts rose from his seat and dropped his whetstone. He approached at the rapist and put the point of his sword on the ground with his hands on the pummel as he watched him struggle in his bonds.
He begged. "No! No! Please Gods! Please! I don't deserve this! I don't wanna die!"
Bell sighed and pulled his sword from the ground and it set ablaze. "Everyone says that."
He positioned his fiery blade at the neck before raising it. Ignoring his cries for mercy, He brought his sword at Andrew's neck killing him. All the remains of the criminal is a pile of ash.
In Orario
Everyone at the pub were still recovering from the incident. Lunor was sweeping the ashes on the floor and table. Ryuu disposed the tomahawk she broke. Ais retrieved her sword and was still shaking at the memory.
No one talked about it, they just continued eating and chatting. Riveria and Loki looked suspicously at Finn.
"You know something about that thing don't you?" Riveria asked him.
Finn sighed at pinched the bridge of his nose. "At first glance, I wasn't sure and from the moment that he called Ais 'Inoccent'. I am now certain that it is."
"He?" Lefiya joined in. That includes most of the people hoping to gain information on what their dealing with.
"People from the west called him many things," Finn darky said. "The Devil's Bounty Hunter, The Demon who escaped from hell, Punisher and Devourer of the souls of the wicked, and some even say that he was the Devil himself."
The last part made everyone who listened shiver down to their spines. But the pallum wasn't finished.
"But what most people who knew his about the urband legend." Finn continued. "They called him the Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance."
This made their eyes widen. A Spirit of Vegeance? Sure they have met plenty of spirits. But this was something they never thought that it even existed.
"How do you know all this?" Loki shivered.
He cupped his chin recalling something from his past. "Parents used the legend to discipline their children as a moral story and I guess we all know what happens if you ignore that lesson."
Some of them looked to where Jax and Andrew once stood.
Ais spoke up. "How do you stop the Ghost Rider."
"You don't." Finn answered.
"Eh, what about the king or the Freya Familia?" Bete said.
"He's been called the Spirit of Vengeance for reason Bete," Finn interjected. "And I doubt that even Ottar himself couldn't beat him."
"You can't stop him," Finn clarified. "But you can delay him from igniting you with his Hellfire... or."
Some leaned in hoping to have way of escape from Bell. Some were not even interested thinking that only why to escape his wrath is to not do anything bad.
"To attone for your past crimes," He said. "But, it's fifty-fifty chance if you to make it back alive, but depending how horrendous things you have commited that chance becomes zero."
In the Guild
Ouranos was sitting at his throne sealing the dungoen for one thousand years. A shadowy figure has appeared infront of him.
"Something on your mind Fels?" The immortal asked.
"Zarathos has appeared in the city." The entity now named Fels.
Ouranos was surpised. "The formless spirit that Hades and Nemesis created from Hellfire and the desire of revenge?"
Fels nodded. "He came into the Hostess of Fertility and punished the two unsuspecting criminals who commited of raped and murdered an Amazon."
"Hmm... Does he have a new host?"
"Yes my lord," He answered. "He is bound to a male teenager and has a black pegasus for a mount."
"A pegsus?" Ouranos said. "No one has ever rode one in years."
"It is true my lord, he has taken refuge at the forest up north not far from here," Fels spoke. "But what should we do about him?"
"Zarathos has no intentions of harming the inoccents, but that doesn't mean that we don't have to be careful of him," The God replied. "And more importantly, we might need the aid of the Ghost Rider in the future."
"Agreed."
