Just a fun chapter I wrote. It is mainly about Ottar IF I continue.
Ottarl was taking care of everyone's kids. They were in the backyard of the Hearth Manor. The parents were in the dungeon Ottarl was chosen to take care of the children.
"Okay, what level are you guys."
"Level 1" the entire group yelled.
Although, Ottar heard two people say level 2.
"Who is level 2?"
Two kids put their hands up. One seemed reluctant to pull their hand up but nonetheless, their hands were up.
'Of Course' Ottar thought to himself.
"You two can't join in the big brawl that could be dangerous for the others."
Only the girl responded.
"Ahh, I wanna practise too, I'll be extra careful."
"No, Alfia, you and Albert are too strong for the others."
"But I need to get stronger."
"You two get to spar with me afterwards"
"Okay," she said.
Albert hadn't said anything yet.
He had white hair just like his father and golden eyes just like his mother.
Alfia was the opposite of Albert She had golden hair and red eyes. These two were twins (of course.)
Albert seemed very shy, he spoke rarely and stood behind his older sister frequently even though she was older by exactly one minute nonetheless she was older.
Albert and Alfia have a skill that causes them to share excellia. Their abilities points were exactly the same after every status update. Their skills, however, were different.
Albert preferred a Sword.
Alfia preferred daggers and knives.
They were young and still had many years of experience to gain. Albert quickly picked up the sword just like her mother as Alfia took knives just like her father.
Their sparring was very equal however both were dominant in their respective ranges.
Even Though Albert seemed very shy when their sparring began he was very professional. His posture was near perfect and he made minimal movements to fight his older sister.
Alfia knew how to fight his brother so she purposefully fights like a beast when she is fighting Albert. She had learned this style of fighting by watching a grey werewolf flip out when a Freya member insulted Aiz and his wife, an Amazoness.
Now that all the kids had finished their brawl it was time for the two-level two's to fight Ottar, someone who used to be the strongest adventurer. Now he is just a level 9.
Ottar stood opposite of Albert and Alfia and the spar started.
Albert and Alfia were one and the same; they knew exactly how to fight together.
Aiz found Ottar's weakness and used it against him. The blade was inches from his eyes when suddenly his fist smashed into her.
Ottar was reminded of the fight he and Aiz had when Freya wanted Bell. Aiz was in a full, avenger mode when she had nearly killed Ottar. Of Course, this is all cleared off now however it seemed Ottar wasn't ready.
As soon as Ottar made his mistake his eyes widened. Before he could check Alfia a certain beast came after him.
Albert saw his sister being obliterated across the room. And something popped. His posture disappeared, He threw his sword at Ottar and grabbed Aiz' daggers across the floor.
Ottar felt the sword break when it hit his stomach then he saw a small beast looking for revenge. Ottar yelled at the other kids.
"Get Hestia!"
Soon all the kids scrambled looking for Hestia.
Ottar called Alberts name
"Albert stop! We need to help Alfia."
But Albert was too focused and outraged. He could not hear anything that wouldn't help him fight.
Albert speed seemed faster than usual, way, way faster than usual.
'A skill? Or his technique' Ottar thought before brushing it off and dealing with the real issue.
Ottar could see Albert easily, Albert could even be moving in slow motion. Ottar grabbed Albert with his left hand and destroyed both daggers in one motion with the other.
"Sorry, but we need to help your sister."
Albert was screaming and trying to worm out of Ottarl's hands he tried biting Ottarl's arm off and was entirely red. Ottar stormed to Alfia with Albert in his arms. He checked on her, her ribs were broken and her arms were out of the socket,
"I'm so sorry," Ottar said, he pulled a potion out of his hand. This potion wouldn't heal her but it would cause her to not feel the pain.
Hestia run out,
"What happened."
"I'm so sorry," Ottar said he had a stoic face but Hestia knew differently.
"Okay, it's okay Ottar get Alfia to Amid she'll deal with it money's no problem of course. Give me Albert."
Albert who was creating new darker shades of red every second was still fighting Ottarl.
Hestia said his name,
"Albert! Stop fighting Ottar."
Albert stopped with his movements, he was clearly still very very angry but he listened and stopped fighting Ottar.
Ottar let him go and used his level 9 speed to get Alfia to Amid,
"Come here," Albert Hestia said.
Hestia hugged Albert close, Albert almost choking in you know what, she started talking to him.
"Thank you Albert for listening to me, it means a lot to me that you were willing to listen even though your emotions are coursing through you."
Albert stopped getting darker but also stopped getting lighter red.
"Albert when you are ready please tell me what happened." Hestia hugged Albert close without choking him and spoke to the other kids.
"Everybody come and give Albert a hug."
Soon an army of kids came walking towards the hugging ones. They all gave Albert a hug or a pat on the shoulder.
"Is Alfia going to be okay?" A kid said
"Of Course she is, we have the best doctors in Orario. She will be fine. Be sure to welcome her when she comes back. Later today we will talk about what happened. Go inside"
Hestia felt Albert sobbing,
"It's okay Albert, Alfia will be okay"
"Really? Weren't you lying?"
"No not lying, hoping."
"Okay" Albert wiped his face.
"Are you ready to tell me what happened?"
Albert nodded.
"Me, Alfia and Ottar were sparring and then Ottar hurt Alfia, so I got really mad. "
"Isn't that part of sparring?"
"No, Ottar should only block, not fight back."
"What was different this time?"
"I don't know, Alfia was really close and then suddenly Ottar punched her.
And- and I got really really mad. All I could think about was anger and how I wanted to kill Ottar, I don't want to kill Ottar, he is daddy's friend and I really like him too. But all I could think about was hurting Ottar." Albert started sobbing again.
"It's okay, It's okay, you didn't want to and you didn't hurt him it is okay."
"Do you think Ottar will forgive me?"
"Yes Ottar will forgive you, Ottar understands why you were mad. You wanted to protect Alfia."
Albert shook his head
"Of Course but I stopped him from healing Alfia. I just wanted to kill him."
Hestia was surprised by his answer. That was quite a thoughtful answer. And a scary one.
Hestia repeated" it is okay, we will talk about this with mommy and daddy. Ottar will be there too and he will definitely forgive you."
"Okay," Albert said, this time he was returning his cuddle with Hestia.
*Sniff Sniff*, "Thank you, Goddess."
"No problem," Hestia returned his hug
Albert felt his falna burn slightly.
Hestia and Albert walked back into the house.
They opened the backdoor and saw lots of kids playing around. They all stopped what they were doing and looked towards the goddess. Hestia said calmly "Everyone get to the living room we have a meeting." She ended cheerfully. A few kids ran up the stairs to call the kids that were upstairs.
When everyone was gathered and sitting comfortably, Hestia started.
"Did Everyone see what happened at the fight? "everyone nodded.
She asked a young elf, "What happened darling?"
"Alfia got injured sparring with Ottarl."
"Is this what everybody saw?"
"Yes!"
"Okay"
'That is okay she thought if they think it is part of sparring'
"Ottarl accidentally hurt Alfia during sparring, of course, this was a mistake. Thank you for listening to Ottarl and calling me. In a few hours this house will be filled with your parents so let's clean up and have them return to a happy home."
"Okay goddess" the crowd cheered.
Soon enough what seemed like an army of housemaids started cleaning up. They all cleaned up their own messes and soon they were making dinner for a very big group.
