Prologue
Bell "Grandpa; I did it! I killed all 6 of those goblins"
Zeus "That's great my boy and I am proud of you!"
"It's just too bad that the monsters are too weak outside the dungeon to provide quality exilia!" Zeus thinks to himself. "Well at least the carriage to Orario will Arrive soon and then our journey can begin."
"Bell my boy, come here please! I have something for you."
"Yes Grandfather!"
"So what is it you have for me?" Bell inquired. "My grandpa is always so kind to me!" Bell mused to himself.
"Here Bell" Zeus says while handing over a magically bound tome!
"this is a grimoire that is sealed with magic and cannot be opened until you reach level 2. This grimoire can only be used by you as it is bound to your phoenix blood! This grimoire is also special in another way as it will provide more than 1 spell! I also have this iron short sword for you to go along with your iron daggers. Your dual wielding has gotten much better in the last few months and while this sword is by no means the best piece of equipment you could wield, it will suffice until we get to Orario!"
"Grandpa! Your banished from Orario are you not?" asked Bell
"Tis true! I am indeed exiled from Orario for the failure of my familia in slaying the One Eyed Black Dragon" Was Zeus' reply!
"Then how do you expect to accompany me to the Tower of Babel?" Asked a stumped Bell.
"I will use this little toy provided to me by Hermes to enter the city unseen" Answered Zeus while placing the hades head over his silver hair.
"EEEEEH, WHAAAAT THE FUUUCK? WHERE DID YOU GO?!" screamed Bell with a look of absolute confusion in his rubellite eyes
TAP, TAP
Suddenly Bell felt someone tapping him on his right shoulder from behind as he looked over his shoulder in a stupor as he could see nor hear anyone behind him.
"Remind me to never challenge you to a game of hide and seek" Mused Bell; finally starting to catch on somewhat as to what was happening.
"ahahahahah" Bell heard Zeus having a hearty laugh at his expense whilst removing the Hades head!
"Not funny, Grandpa" Bell exclaimed slightly annoyed
"Why so serious?" Zeus quipped with a bemused expression
"This is how I will enter Orario along side you Bell. As you can plainly see, this little tool is quite effective when it comes to discrete movement" Zeus remarked
"Amazing! If I had not seen this with my own eyes, I would never have believed it" Bell stated, still wide eyed from surprise
"Oh! I also have this for you Bell" Zeus said while placing his hand upon Bells forehead.
Suddenly a white light emerged from Zeus's hand and enveloped Bell in a glowing aura which dissipated seconds later!
"GGG-Grandpa, what was that light and warm aura that you channeled into me? Was it some kind of healing spell?" Bell stammered out through a warm smile, still feeling a tingle going up and down his spine from the warm energy which had moments ago, enveloped him.
"That honestly felt amazing, like being surrounded and permeated by love, the white light pushing everything else out of my body. I still have shivers from the experience" thought Bell!
"We gods can also acquire exilia via killing monsters and although it does us no good to do so, this exilia can be stored by us! Additionally; as gods we are able to give this exilia to others and I just transferred 17 years worth of exilia to you. Although considering the strength of monsters outside the dungeon, or lack there of I should say, it isn't much but it will help make you stronger!" stated Zeus with shining eyes and a coy smile! "I can't wait until he sees the other part; I wonder if he'll faint...that could be a problem. Well worst case, I'll ask the carriage driver to help me load him aboard. I could always wait to update his status until we arrive in Orario, but it may prove useful to let him raise those stats on the monsters we encounter en route. Speak of the devil!"
"Ahh! the carriage arrives! Bell quickly, raise your shirt. I will update your status before we begin our journey"
"Alright!" Replied Bell in a slightly muffled tone as his shirt was raised over his head exposing his back. Zeus, working quickly; drew one of bells daggers from a sheath on the left side of his belt and lightly sliced his right index finger; allowing a single drop of his blood to fall upon Bells back revealing his status. He then proceeded to update Bell's status molding the exilia gained into tangible status increases; then placing a piece of parchment against Bell's falna, drew out the text of the falna onto the parchment and handed it to Bell.

Rage, -Wrath of the heavens-
"uuuuhhhh; HUH? I cant believe i went up that much in my skills grandpa; I am almost to H status in my agility...MAAAAAAAGIIIIIIIICC!" Screeched Bell in excitement "I CAAAAAAAN UUUSE MAAAAGIIIC!"
Zeus facepalms with a frustrated expression "Ooooiii Bell" while shaking his head.
"FOR THE LOVE OF THE GODS BELL, STOP ANNOUNCING YOUR FUCKING STATUS; THAT'S PRIVILEGED INFORMATION!" Shouted Zeus; chastising the boy for his reckless mistake!
"Sorry grandpa; I got carried away there!" Bell responded "what are you doing Bell, you fucking know better" He scolded himself in addition to the one he received from his Grandfather.
"I can understand your excitement Bell however a mistake like that in Orario can be deadly!"Zeus added to his previous lesson. "It may be cheating, but since Bell is coming from outside Orario, no one will be the wiser and considering my future plans, I need to make sure that he can at least defend himself!" Zeus reasoned introspectively.
"I wish I could have done more Bell and to be honest; that is not much growth for 17 years worth of exilia. If this had been gained in the dungeon, it could have been gathered in less than a week!" Muttered Zeus in a somewhat dejected tone of voice; as if scolding himself!
"BELL!" Zeus exclaimed pointing to the outdoor hearth 19 feet to our left. "cast your status parchment into the fire and lets be off" Ordered Zeus
"Sure" said Bell as he hurried over to the hearth and tossed the parchment in watching as it was consumed by the fire in less than a second.
The journey to Orario took nearly a week thanks to a few minor monster encounters which Bell handled with relative ease with the Iron short sword strapped to his back, his new magic and the Iron daggers on either side of his belt.
Bells POV
"We arrived on the outskirts of Orario under a setting sun. It is honestly magnificent in its beauty and stature! Several massive building and spires rising into the sky and an enormous tower in the midst of them dwarfing them entirely. This white tower, the Tower of Babel I would assume; streaks into the heavens so high that its very top cannot be spied from the ground. Sturdy stone walls encircle the city for as far as the eye can see to the left or the right of the gate we are approaching!"
"It's gargantuan" Whispered Bell as he collected his jaw from the floor of the carriage
"That it is" Quipped the boy's grandpa; the god Zeus
"My boy, you can find anything and everything you could ever desire in Orario. Fame, fortune women, excitement; the world is your oyster in Orario, known as the center of the world. I have been in contact via letter with my sister Hestia using the god Hermes as a courier and she has agreed to start a familia with you as its first member Bell. She descended to Gekai a few months back and is staying in an old church. Hestia is very motherly, despite being the virgin goddess of home and Hearth. Be good to her Bell as she is my family, same as you are!"
"Yes grandpa; I promise this to you" Bell stated earnestly!
"Thank you Bell" Zeus expressed as he was fumbling through my bag for the Hades head. "Bell, when I put this on do not look for or speak to me as I am not supposed to be here. I will be right behind you the entire time. once we are inside and safely away from the gate, I will remove the Hades head and we will go to the old church where Hestia currently resides where I will introduce you to your new goddess my boy"
"Understood, grandpa"
One hour has passed as Bell finally arrives at the gate under a receding twilight.
"Name, age and reason for visiting Orario?" Queried the guard in an exhausted tone of voice only exceeded by the extreme fatigue which shone on the guards face more pronounced than a bad case of leprosy.
"I; Bell Cranel am 18 and I seek to become an adventurer" muttered Bell through a yawn, sleepy as he was and just happy to have arrived safely.
"Man...these lines are a bitch my good sir" stated Bell dryly to no one in particular.
"Well this is the center of the world moron" Announced the guard in an annoyance! "Even more so of an imbecile you are; to journey here to become an adventurer when you do not look like you could even draw the sword sheathed at your right shoulder. Hell, I am completely shocked that your still standing with that weight on your back! Well whatever; YOUR FUNERAL KID. One request though, if I may kid. Please place a living will with the guild when you register stating that Shelvedon Rimonia is to light your funeral pyre" stated the guard slinging insults with both his words and body language!
"hahahaha Shelvedon; your too funny" gasped another guard laughing with his mates sitting at a table beside the gate; obviously on a break!
"Who the fuck does this prick think he is?! I'm half tempted to draw my sword and provide this waste of a carnal relations with an iron ENEMA; free of charge! If only..." Bell thought to himself, his exhaustion filled rage beginning to well up inside of him!
"Move along you fucking weakling; your holding up my line and I have a tankard of ale with my name on it awaiting me at the pub" snarled the annoyed Shelvedon. "At least wait until morning to go get yourself killed. I want to have time to sleep it off before lighting you funeral pyre lest I roast myself in the process"
"Rancid piece of shit" muttered Bell under his breath just out of earshot of the asshat formerly known as Shelvedon Rimonia.
Removing the Hades head Zeus spoke while motioning "Bell follow me and we will soon arrive at the home of Hestia, oh and good job keeping your cool my boy. I wanted to borrow your sword and collect that dumbfuck's head for the way he spoke to you, but alas we couldn't afford to have you exiled from Orario before we even got in the gates, now could we?!"
"Yes Grandpa"
Bell's POV
We spent the next 30 minutes or so walking through the winding streets of the city as the moon began its march across the sky. through the main streets we strolled taking in the sights, right past a pub and boarding house known as the Hostess of Fertility. The HoF was a quaint establishment situated in a moderately sized two story building and it appears that the entire building has been commandeered by the HoF. It looks like a nice place so I will have to check it out sometime."
Fifteen minutes later, Zeus and Bell arrived in front of an old dilapidated church after meandering through the winding thoroughfares and back alleys of Daedalus street.
"we're HEEEERE" exclaimed an excited Zeus with an endearing smile on his face and a luster his advanced age has done nothing to diminish.
"WHAT THE FUCK" thought bell
"Grandpa, are you sure this place is safe? Seriously, it looks like I could spit on the door and the entire structure would collapse inward!" Bell stated in a defeated monotone!
"Fear not Bell, we will address that soon enough! For now, lets head inside so you can meet your new goddess and complete the conversion ritual" said Zeus with a slight quiver in his voice.
Bell's POV
"EEEEECREAKKEEEE"Screamed the door to the church as I pushed it open and we walked inside. There off to the right of the alter standing beside what appears to be a rotating hidden door was a beautiful short woman with twin pig tails being held in place by 2 baby blue bows. She was quite striking despite her stature with monstrous breasts nearly popping out of here cut off dress being held up by a blue string tied to each one of her upper arms. The aura of a god was coming off of her telling me that this is my new goddess; Hestia; the goddess of home and hearth!
"ZEEEEUUUUS" screamed Hestia as she excitedly ran over to us with her melons bouncing so prolifically that I'm surprised they did not produce a small earthquake.
"Hestia; it has been tooo long" commented Zeus as he reached around the loli goddess with both arms and gave her a big hug.
"I've missed y...EEEEEEEEEHH" Screeched Hestia as Zeus's right hand having reached a bit lower than the goddess would have liked, grabbed a handful of her Supple curves. As if shot out of a cannon, Hestia embedded her right knee in Zeus's groin extracting a penance of pain from her brother in divinity!
"OFFFHFHH EIEIEIEIOIEE" "THUMP" "EHEEEE EHEEEE EHEEE" whimpered Zeus before, and after falling to the ground whilst writhing in pain; gingerly embracing his divine pride which was no doubt, pulsating with agony!
"Perverted as always brother, I guess some things never change" Growled an obviously irritated Hestia while peering at her brother with blood-lust screaming from her eyes.
Turning towards me "So you must be Bell?" said Hestia half statement, half question. "Well I sincerely hope you have not been corrupted having been raised by my brother, the god of lecherous endeavors" mused a still annoyed Hestia dryly
"I am Bell Cranell, it is good to meet you goddess Hestia" I spoke as I extended my hand which Hestia eagerly took.
Hestia's POV
"A handshake; no grab assing! I'm starting to like this kid already! I take Bells hand, which is fairly large in relation to my own. "What's this?! It is like an aura of purity is flowing into me from Bell. My anger towards Zeus is being Cleansed, purified if you will! No wonder he is so respectful. It would be beyond the scope of even Zeus to corrupt this child. I think I'm in love! My own pure bunny rabbit knight! Thanks Zeus!"
Introductions completed, it was time to get down to this business of familia conversion as we entered the hidden room of the church!
"please remove your shirt and lay face down on the bed Bell" Instructed Hestia as she was removing a long needle from a drawer in one of the end tables next to the bed.
Bell did as instructed and seconds later Hestia was straddling Bells posterior with a singular drop of blood falling from her left hand onto Bell's back revealing his falna, which saw the logo of Zeus familia disappear upon contact being replaced with the emblem of the goddess of home and hearth.
"All done, you can put your shirt back on now bell; well I mean if you want to! you don't have to if you do not wish to!" Hestia said nervously in a semi squeal!
"What am I saying, I mean I know he is cute, and pure, but I am the virgin goddess of the home. What is this feeling?" Hestia thought, almost admonishing herself while blushing
Condescending laughter erupted from Hestia's right.
"What the fuck are you laughing at Zeus?" Roared an incredulous Hestia as she flashed a murderous glance towards her brother.
"Well anyways; welcome to my familia Bell" Hestia beamed while drawing Bell into a tight hug "Tis truly a pleasure Bell and it warms my heart to have you as my first familia member" Hestia whispered into Bell's left ear.
"I could tell from the moment I laid eyes on you goddess Hestia, you have been unbearably lonely and it has brought great sadness to your heart! That ends today; my goddess" Replied Bell.
"This child, his purity and kindness are almost too much! How in this world did you manage not to be totally purified yourself Zeus? Well I guess he has purified you somewhat considering you only grabbed my ass when you got here instead of trying to fuck me the moment you walked through the door" mused Hestia to herself "As a goddess, I am supposed to be the one giving out blessings, yet I have been blessed with a kind child who is inexplicably more pure than even I am. Once again thank you, Zeus!"
"I am sure you both are exhausted and I do have a part time job to go to in the morning myself; after we register the familia and Bell at the guild in the morning. Zeus, there is a bed roll and pillow you can use on the floor in here and Bell, you may sleep on the couch" stated Hestia flatly.
"Goddess, I don't mind sleeping on the bed roll so grandpa can sleep on the couch if th" Bell was saying as Hestia cut him off.
"You're sleeping on the couch Bell. Zeus sleeping on the floor is part of his punishment for perversion" Hestia stated forcefully
"Figures" Zeus exclaimed exasperatedly!
"Yes goddess" Bell replied to his new goddess
They all laid down in their various sleeping locations doing their utmost to get comfortable which was exceptionally difficult for a certain god of a perverse countenance.
"Goodnight Goddess, Goodnight Grandpa"
"Goodnight Bell" Both deities replied in unison
"Goodnight Zeus"
"Goodnight Hestia"
The deities exchanged the equivalent of sleep wells and everyone fell asleep. Zeus got up half asleep and climbed into the bed and began groping what he thought was Hestia but was actually a pillow with a few cantaloupes inside it. Meanwhile Hestia was sleeping on top of her new child straddling his waist with her head sound asleep on his chest, of which Bell was blissfully unaware as he was sleeping like a corpse!
The next morning
"Huh, why does my chest feel heavy, and why does it feel like something is between my legs; am I dreaming?" Bell inquired to himself still half asleep
Bell took a look around after his eyes adjusted to the morning light which was streaming in the window of the secret room and then he realized what was on top of him; a loli goddess; Hestia!
"Uhh Goddess"
"Not now, five more minutes" murmured Hestia still sleeping soundly
"Goddess Hestia"
Hestia's eyes begin to flutter open and the loli raises her head.
"Good morning Bell" Hestia says sleepily
"Good morning goddess. Why are you sleeping here on top of me?" Bell asks with a slight blush on his face.
"Oh...I figured Zeus would try something like that so I rigged a pillow with some fruit and came to sleep here" Hestia stated while pointing to Zeus in the bed still hugging the imitation Hestia.
"If I was still sleeping there Zeus would be groping me as we speak, he is such a pervert" stated Hestia more than a little irritated by her brothers antics.
SIGH
"Like brother; like sister I guess" Bell muttered a little bemused
"what do you mean bell?" Inquired a confused goddess.
"AHEM" Taking a deep breath, Bell spoke "Goddess, while I do understand now; why you are sleeping here on top of me, would you please stop pruning my family tree?!"
"Huh? EEEHH?" Hestia squeaked out in utter confusion
What is he talking about, pruning his family tree? What's this in my right hand, its soft and floppy? A sudden look of horror graced the face of the goddess Hestia as her face turned as red as a ripe tomato and she gently lifts the blanket covering them both to see for herself what she is doing. As she looks, she turns even more flushed as she realizes that she is indeed pruning HIS FAMILY TREE(manhood) and she leaps up like a cat who has just been bathed in ice water and down on all fours into an instant dogeza.
Bowing over and over again "Bell, I am so so sorry""Im so sorry""Please forgive me" she begged repeatedly.
"Goddess, its fine. I forgive you, but please can we avoid that in the future" Bell responded earnestly
"Of course. I'm truly sorry for what I was doing" whispered a flustered Hestia.
Two hours later inside the Tower of Babel at the registration desk
"Excuse me miss, I would like to register my familia and my first adventurer" Hestia words directed towards a young half elf with green eyes, light brown hair and glasses.
"Yes that is fine, would you please fill these out goddess ? ?" responds Eina Tulle, a guild employee and dungeon advisor somewhat confused as she does not know the name of the goddess who can barely look over the top of the registration desk at her.
"Hestia is my name, and this is Bell Cranel; the first member of my familia" she states as she gets the paperwork from the half elf.
"Aah, goddess Hestia, it is good to meet you, and you to Bell, my name is Eina Tulle" responds the cheerful half elf
"It is good to meet you miss Tulle" States a smiling Bell as he extends his hand toward the beautiful half elf, who shakes his hand without hesitation.
"Bell please call me Eina"she says in a soft and friendly voice
"Sure miss Eina" Bell responds innocently
SIGH
"Well it's a start I suppose" an amused Eina thinks to herself.
"All done" Hestia says while handing the registration paperwork to Eina who begins to look them over stopping when she comes to a certain piece of parchment:

Rage, -Wrath of the heavens-
"Well, you are certainly full of surprises Bell. Your status is somewhat impressive considering you have never set foot in the dungeon. You already have an ability that is ranked G and you can even use magic; and an extremely powerful variant at that!" Beams a surprised Eina. "Additionally I will be your dungeon advisor so here is to a fruitful partnership, may you find glory and happiness!"
"Miss advisor; I have spent some time training my adopted grandson here, and then I brought him here to my sister here in Orario to convert him to her family. I would also like to transfer assets from my familia to the Hestia familia, as well as the personal bank accounts from the boy's late parents, to him directly. More specifically I would like to transfer the personal assets of Arthur and Victoria Cranel to Bell Cranel and all holdings and assets of the Zeus familia to that of the goddess Hestia, my sister"
"Who are you to be able to make such a request?" Asked Eina cutting off the elderly gentleman standing next to her latest charge; the aforementioned Bell.
Releasing his divine aura "I am Zeus, the head of the Zeus familia and Bell is the last member of my familia and all of our assets are my last gift to him." spoke a slightly annoyed Zeus, not used to having his authority questioned in any way.
"Well this explains him having THAT magic" Eina reasoned.
A disquieting and abnormal silence fell over the guild lobby as a crowd of adventurers stared at the exiled god.
"Give me a moment to check on the assets please" Eina stated briskly as she ran towards the guild's hall of records
"If I don't do something about this quickly, this will turn into an incident in the middle of the guild. The exiled god will certainly cause warfare in the streets if we do not get him out of here soon" Concerns mounting one after another inside Eina's mind as she ran when;
"Miss Tulle, a moment of your time please" Spoke a chubby old elf with a balding head; Royman Mardeel, the head of the guild within Orario
"Give me a few momen..."
"NOW" fumed an annoyed guild head as all the flabbergasted half elf could do was reply
"yes sir"
"Now Eina, from my understanding; the exiled god Zeus has returned to collect his holdings in cash and sell off his land holding in Orario. I have kept all of those documents in my office for the last 17 years as I figured this would happen. Considering that Zeus doesn't know the meaning of the word discretion, it seems that this was a prudent precaution to take. Lets settle this quickly before this becomes an incident of colossal proportions" said the still slightly annoyed Royman
"Actually sir, he has arrived at the guild with his sister Hestia and the last member of his familia Bell Cranel, whom he has transferred to the Hestia familia; in tow and has requested that the personal holdings of the boy's parents be transferred into an account for the boy, and that all assets and holdings of the familia be transferred to the Hestia familia. Is"
Cutting off Eina, Royman answered "yes that is fine, the personal assets of the boy's parents are his rightful inheritance and those Zeus familia assets can be transferred as well as those are the property of Zeus which he has every right to do as he sees fit with those assets. Just handle it quickly as I do not want a major incident!"
"Yes sir" Eina responds while running out the door knowing that every second counts to prevent an incident.
"Mr. Cranel, goddess Hestia" Screamed Eina as she sprinted back to the registration desk
"Hmmm... so Zeus Familia had 1 massive piece of property situated next door to the Twilight Manor, and ...15.5 Billion valis? Is that a typo... and the Cranel family has financial assets of 3.635 Billion valis? Can this be right? Wait, Royman may be lazy and well derided as the guild pig, but even he would have checked over these documents with a fine tooth comb, if for no other reason than that; he would have wanted to seize these assets.
"Ok, Hestia I need you to sign this document, same goes for you Zeus and Bell, I need you to sign this inheritance document" Eina hurriedly announces as she hands the documents over to Bell and the deities.
Hestia, Zeus and Bell sign their respective documents and hand them back to the half elf, as Zeus surreptitiously maneuvers behind both Bell and Hestia.
"These are in order now, so Hestia, you are receiving a large plot of land and 15.5 billion valis and Bell, your inheritance comes to 3.635 billion valis" exclaimed the soft spoken half elf.
"WHAAAAAT" Screamed Hestia
EEEEEEEEEHH "Screamed Bell almost in unison with his goddess and they both fainted on the spot, Zeus catching them both as they fell backwards.
"Can't say I didn't expect that" Quipped a genuinely elated Zeus
A few minutes later...
"Awake are you now? hahahaha" asked a still amused Zeus
"yes" they both said simultaneously.
"alright; lets go outside for some air. I think you both need it" Snickered a smiling Zeus
The group walk outside and they are greeted by a sound coming from the distance as a crimson haired woman stormed towards the guild.
"Well guys, that's my hint! Hestia, Bell...I love you both dearly, please take care of one another. Bell, I wish I could have told you of my plans, and I'm honestly surprised you did not see right through me but now that I have brought you into manhood, and to Orario, my duties are finished and I am going back to Tenkai. I will watch over you both, ALWAYS! Do not think of this as my death, as I will not be dying to go back, simply releasing my arcanum and returning home.
"Zeus..." Whimpered a perplexed Hestia
"Grandpa...NO...why?" Bell cried, "Why do you have to go back? We can just go back to our village." He sobbed.
"Bell, I have centuries worth of familia who I miss dearly. I did not try to rebuild my familia after the battle with the one eyed black dragon, nor after the travesty that claimed the few survivors of that great battle. I am tired; tired of hurting and mourning for those who I cannot see again. those who have ascended from this world. I also cannot remain near you in Orario to allow you to chase your destiny, which is why I asked Hestia to start a familia. The only way I can watch over you on your journey and assist you; is to return to Tenkai. I am sorry Bell. Yes; this may be a bit selfish of me, but I am a god; and we gods are selfish." Zeus explained with a mischievous grin.
Zeus is suddenly spun around and punched right in the face by a red headed goddess with a frightening expression on her face.
"You have a hell of a lot of nerve to ever show yourself again in Orario; ZEUS!" Seethed a flat chested goddess with crimson hair. "Are you to fucking stupid to understand the meaning of EXILE?...Well it isn't multiple choice PERVERT BOLT, it's either a yes or a no asshole!" she growled
Shrugging off the punch like a gentle breeze across his cheek, Zeus replied.
"Loki; I wish I could say it is a pleasure but it's honestly not! Though I hold no grudge towards you regardless of your actions, then or now. I simply came here to transfer my familia assets to my sister, and deliver my adopted grandson, the last of my familia, into my sisters familia. Now, I'm going home" said a cheerful Zeus despite the wrath seething from the crimson haired goddess.
"Who said we were going to let you leave this place alive Zeus" asked an incredulous Loki.
"I'm going home... to Tenkai you flat chested fuckwit" Beamed a smiling Zeus as he activated his arcanum and was enveloped by his godly aura. "By the way Loki, this is for acting like a rampaging bitch in front of my grand child; so ENNNJOOOOOOOYY" having said that; Zeus snaps his fingers and summons a lightning bolt making Loki quite a bit toastier than she was a minute ago! "live with the pain Loki, until your familia members heal you anyways." echoing in the background as a giant pillar of light screams towards the heavens, signifying that a god, Zeus has returned to Tenkai.
"Serves you right Loki" Beams Hestia which turned into screams of utter frustration as Bell was pouring a few healing potions on top of the badly scorched and writhing Loki "Bell, what are you doing" screamed Hestia totally dumbstruck.
"Goddess, I am showing her kindness and sympathy" Bell said when "Loki, what happened!" asked a gorgeous woman with golden hair, and matching eyes who seemingly appeared out of nowhere. "as soon as I heard the rumor of Zeus being in the guild, I knew you would do something stupid and irrational" The golden eyed woman said with an annoyed look on her face.
The healing potions taking effect finally, Loki answered "Aiz, like your one cough cough to talk"
Turning to Bell, Aiz asked "Are you the one who healed my goddess?" while looking down at several empty potion vials and the corks that had until a few minutes ago held the potion within each of them.
"Yes I did, I am Bell Cranel and this is my goddess Hestia" Bell replied with a small blush on his face.
"Thank you Bell. I am Aiz Wallenstein and Loki is my goddess. it is nice to meet you" Aiz said with a slight blush of her own. "Would you happen to know where Zeus and his escort went, I have a little score to settle with the originator of that magic, as I'm sure you you can understand?" Aiz asked; blush no more, replaced with cold, emotionless eyes.
"What the hell is this, just being in the same area as this man, my anger towards Zeus is being pushed back, suppresse...no purified. I sense this overwhelming purity coming from this Bell Cranel"
"My grandpa went back to Tenkai and while leaving after activating his arcanum, he unleashed a lightning bolt on Loki because she was screaming and acting in a generally violent manner in front of me, and my goddess, his sister." Bell replied with a nervous expression
"I see, well thank you for answering my question and most importantly, thank you once more for helping my volatile goddess, despite her actions towards your grandfather." Aiz responded "I am certa..."
"Aiz, whats going on over here and why is Loki on the ground, did she find some really potent alcohol this early in the day?" asked a tall regal looking elf with green hair.
"No, the rumors about Zeus were true and Loki confronted Zeus in front of his grandson and sister. He activated his arcanum to return to Tenkai and on his way out, he administered a lightning bolt to Loki as an attitude adjustment for acting like a violent ass in front of his sister and grandson; Riveria" replied Aiz while trying her best not to laugh at the situation.
"Who then applied all of these potions to Loki?" she asked
Pointing at Bell with her still regenerating left arm "He did" Loki stated still confused by the situation herself.
"Young man, I Riveria Ljos Alf would like to thank you for rendering aid to my Goddess" the elf beamed a smile at the boy "and I must also thank you, goddess for your child's kindness and compassion"
"I am Bell Cranel and this is my goddess Hestia" responded bell adding "your welcome" as he returned her smile with one of his own.
"Bell, was it? I have to ask, why did you of all people heal me, even the shrimp there beside you was mortified by your actions. I mean it was your grandpa Zeus who lit my ass up, so I ask again why?" said Loki finally articulating her confusion and questioning the boy hoping to alleviate her confusion towards this situation.
"Because you were suffering" Bell responded earnestly
"Wow, Zeus I don't know if you are proud or pissed as you look down. So this is that 1 year old child who you fled Orario with. I have no idea how a perverted warmonger such as yourself managed to raise this child who is as pure of heart as any mortal I have ever met. Clearly he does NOT take after you" Loki mused to herself "Well you have my thanks Bell, and as much as it pains me to say this, you too Hestia" Loki said with a soft smile forming on her face
Hestia, struggling to hide her contempt turned to face her rival goddess "Normally I would be firing insults right back at you Loki, but even I feel you have been through enough today so I will spare you" "Lets go Bell "Hestia said as she motioned for Bell to follow her.
"Actually goddess, Eina asked me to sit down with her today to go over the first 10 floors of the dungeon as my dungeon advisor, if that is alright with you?" Bell, asked hopefully as he was anxious to get started on everything.
"that's fine Bell, see you at home tonight then" Hestia said as she was walking off with a wave directed at her first child.
Ten hours later, Bell emerges from the guild with steam billowing from both ears and TILT written across his face.
"I see you got Eina Tulle as your advisor young one. Good luck with HER lessons kid!" joked a Dwarf heading out from the tower at about the same time as Bell, who was too mentally drained to form words with which to answer the dwarf.
Authors Note
That does it for the Prologue!
This is my first fan fiction. It is also the first time I have attempted to write anything of this scope and complexity.
I will be adding the standard disclaimer tomorrow sometime, and i will begin writing chapter 1. I hope you all have stayed with me through this 5700+ word Prologue but it was necessary to set up the story from the point i wished to set it up from. Any commentary and respectfully done creative criticisms will be welcome and please do point out any unintentional typo's or other spelling and grammar errors. I feel that if I'm going to do something, i need and want to do it right! I will try to complete a chapter a day when i am not working, but i make no promises. Considering the length of this prologue alone, the chapters will likely be significantly longer and as such; will take more time. My worst case scenario hope will be to at minimum produce a chapter a week! Well i hope my readers have enjoyed this prologue and once again, please leave feed back. Thanks
