I followed behind the two. Still a little irritated about 'Bete Logan' laughing at my fabulous introduction. 'Ais Wallenstein' however, had persuaded him to at least let their 'god' hear me out. Apparently gods here could detect lies she explained to me.

I must confess, I'm not sure any Guardians would have tolerated using the Traveller as a living lie detector. Then again, the 'living' part seems to be the important bit. Dead god is dead after all. The goddess Ais spoke of is called Loki, and seems to be alive.

You might be curious at why that rambunctious youth isn't blabbering in my ear right now?

Well, apparently he has a crush or something because he stopped after Miss Wallenstein nagged him.

It probably helped that Miss Wallenstein took a liking to Sirius, what about the light bulb she found cute, I have no idea.

"Please help me! Get her off me Liam! You wouldn't abandon me would you!"

So, moving on, how to convince this goddess of theirs. As a Hunter, I am skilled at lying, but I'm pretty young for a Guardian, and considering both of these overgrown kids have a light so familiar yet stronger than mine, I'm struggling to believe she's a complete pretender. Though, I suppose that could be a good thing, allies are always good.

So what information to share, history is fine I suppose, but the specifics of the darkness and my recent missions probably should stay confidential. Can't be too careful.

"Oi, Mister 'Guardian', we're here. You better not chicken out, you can admit your lies in front of the strongest Familia in Orario."

I glanced at the gate guards, and promptly ignored them, focusing on more important matters.

"Is that a bet Mister Logan, I never lose a bet."

"Depends on what you're betting?"

"Loser pays for drinks, as is custom no?"

"Oh, I thought you weren't from round here, yet you already have coin?"

"If gold is not still valuable here, I have plenty of other things that would sell in digital storage, like this sword for instance..."

"Hey! Ais, whose the shady guy?"

We were interrupted by a brown haired girl. She had a gymnasts build, both short and slim, and was louder than the cocky kid to right, which was saying something. Behind stood what looked like her more curvy twin and an orange haired girl.

Ais merely cocked her head, and replied as if still confused, "Killed Minotaur, is lost?"

Her friend was not discouraged in the slightest?

"Oh, so you got lost in the Dungeon huh?"

She and her friends walked with us and we entered the building.

"Depends on which Dungeon you speak of." I answered cryptically to the brightly smiling tanned girl.

"What other Dungeons are there?"

"Ones with actual names?"

"Haha silly, the Dungeon doesn't need a name, everyone knows about it?"

"Well I didn't until 2 hours ago."

At that, all three of took a doubletake. Though the orange haired one immediately rolled her eyes.

"That's ridiculous everyone on Gekai knows about the Dungeon."

"Ah, so that's what you call this planet? Fancy name, we call just ours Earth."

"Huh."

I have to admit, after being laughed at, this was amusing.

Of course, the sceptic had to interject.

"Oh, do you really expect us to believe that?"

"Of course I do, its not the first time I've left home after all. Though this is furthest I've ever been. Its not just a matter of taking on my word either, I have proof naturally."

At that, the orange haired girl, (who I'd just noticed had ears that were long and pointy, perhaps I need sleep more than I though?) seemed exasperated.

"What kind of proof would you have that could prove you were from a different world? Surely the gods would have already known about your world anyway if it did exist?"

"Well, where do you think we're going kid? You're about to find out." I gave a shit-eating grin.

Before us, the doors to a room at the top of the building, and a fine building it was, as fine as the best residences I'd seen at the Last City, if lacking in automation. I felt the feeling of light, the flavour of Ais and Bete's but far, far stronger beyond those doors. This was it.

I swung the doors wide open.

"So, a friendly wolf promised me I could find a god here that hadn't kicked the bucket, mine's been dead for ages now, so I figured you could catch me up!"
