Thinking back a few minutes, Bell recounted his sudden and short lived run in with Mord, a man he didn't exactly care to be around. Luckily, he turned tail and ran at the mere sight of those with him (mainly Ais).
Though, who wouldn't be fearful of the Loki Familia and their wrath.
.
Bell sighed, now back at basecamp.
It was fairly quiet, the females having gone off to bathe together, leaving those who weren't female behind.
Just as Hermes was to wrap his arm around Bell, a voice shouted out his name.
"Rabbit boy!"
He turned, narrowly dodging Hermes as he fell to the ground.
"Hm?" Bell stopped though.
'Why the heck am I responding to that?!' Bell thought.
As he snapped back to reality, Bell found a grey wolf man approaching.
The man, Bete if he recalled, stopped a few paces ahead of him, hands in his pockets.
"You made it down here?" He asked, carrying a look of both expectancy and annoyance.
Bell nodded. "Though my party deserves some credit."
Bete looked him over. "You level up?"
Bell smiled. "Yes, from the fight."
Bete watched him carefully, a cautious persona about him, taking in every detail he could of Bell.
"Don't get cocky, newbie." He spoke indifferently, before turning his back and walking off.
Bell grinned. 'So he's a tsundere huh?' This wouldn't be his first encounter with one, though he doubted it'd be his last.
Bell turned, doing so just in time to dodge Hermes' hand once again, but noticing him fall over this time.
"Are you okay?" Bell asked, looking down to the god.
"Ay! Yes, Bell!" He got back up to his feet, dusting his pants off. "You wouldn't happen to have a moment to spare would you?"
Bell looked on in confusion.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Bell followed Hermes through the woods, some ways from camp.
"Lord Hermes, where are we going?" Bell asked in mild annoyance.
"Ah! Just a moment dear Bell!" He responded, eyeing up the tree beside him.
Hermes motioned Bell to follow, as he began climbing. Hermes got to a low branch, primed to climb higher, Bell soon followed.
They reached the top, or at least as far as they were going. Bell found Hermes kneeled while leaning against a neighboring tree's arm. He crawled forward, balancing on the branch.
"Lord Hermes, what is the point of all this?" Bell asked.
He didn't answer him, only looking at Bell, and pointing down.
Bell turned, looking.
As he did, he saw a shimmering paradise of clean and clear water.
But It wasn't the water Bell noticed first, in fact, he probably never even considered it's presence.
No, what Bell saw was a spring of young ladies in the midst of a bath.
Hermes watched Bell, anticipating his reaction. He waited, only for the Elf boy to turn back slowly.
At first, Bell was only slightly annoyed, having traveled with Zeus all those years ago, as well as the general perverseness of the generations now passed.
That was until his eyes, for the brief moments he looked upon the scene below, found locks of gold.
'How dare he.'
Hermes was met with a look that froze him in place. Gone were the signs of happiness, curiosity, and above all else, tired innocence.
What replacing it, could only be described as the built up malice of a weary war torn soul, of which now had its prey before it, trapped in a corner.
"You have five seconds." Bell spoke low.
"Wha-?"
"Four."
Hermes scrambled to pass Bell, but was instead pushed off the branch, landing on the edge of the cliff.
"Three." Hermes heard faintly from above.
He quickly stood, stumbling once as he did.
"Two." Hermes could now hear the wicked smile growing on him.
He began running, realizing that he messed up, messed up badly, and that Bell wasn't the type to tolerate tom foolery.
"One."
Hermes was too far away to hear Bell now, but all the same, was easy prey.
Hermes was choked, as a hand grabbed onto his scarf, stopping him dead. Another hand extended past him, before a simple set of words came about his ears.
"Candle Burst."
Everything went white.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Hermes' vision was blurred, nothing settling properly where it should. He wanted to rub his eyes, but alas, his hands were bound.
"Bell, what is this?" Finn asked, Hermes looking around in futility while being dragged to the edge of camp by Bell.
"He was trying to peep." Bell responded still with a dead smile, not losing his stride.
It took but a second for the flash of recognition to cross Finn, responding with a chuckle. "Just don't kill him."
Hermes squirmed but could do nothing.
"Don't worry Hermes." Bell leaned towards him. "I won't be punishing you."
Hermes' eyes widened, beginning to struggle even more.
.
Bell gathered his things, set on taking a bath in a natural spring for the first time since entering Orario.
On his way, he passed a less than happy Hermes, who was currently gagged and bound to a tree at the edge of the woods.
He smiled happily, making sure that the note he placed on him was still there.
'- - I am a pervert. I was caught trying to peep in on the girls' bath. - -'
Bell smiled, always happy to let a pervert get his lumps.
.
Bell searched for a good while, making a conscious effort to avoid the women. Eventually, he located a small spring outletting downhill into one of the many small creeks of the Eighteenth.
Bell stripped, finding himself to not be as cold as expected, the warm waters heating the general area.
Bell wadded in, bringing with him a small wood tub, and an extra soap bar the expedition had surplus of.
He did his normal routine. Roll the bar in his palms, then lather his hair, wash, lather his body, wash, and again in the more 'important' areas, wash.
After this, he felt it was only right to take in the sensation of a natural spring, sighing with pleasure as he rested against a jutting rock.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Back at camp, the women were just arriving.
As they marched on, they entered the clearing, before the leads, Tiona and Tione, noticed a peculiar noise off to the side.
Before long, the entire camp worth of women (besides one) were staring daggers at the bound pervert.
It wasn't long till the note had been read allowed, and the multitude of Falna carrying women gained a dangerous look in their eyes.
Hermes tried once more to escape the confines.
A sliver of hope appeared, as Asfi approached first, removing the gag.
"A-Asfi! Please! I'm innocent, please!" A nervous smile crossed him while pleading for his life.
Asfi smiled, but stepped a half pace back.
The god's life flashed before his eyes as she reared her foot back, set to hit his 'pride and joy'.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Ryuu made her way through the forest, intent on arriving at her destination, only stopping to pick a select few flowers from the trail side.
As she did, she couldn't help but recall her earlier conversation with a certain High Elf.
.
They sat side to side on the outskirts of -camp, meanwhile Bell and the others were off exploring Rivira.
Riveria searched for a topic to spark a conversation.
"It's been some time, do forgive me, but how long has it been?"
Ryuu paused. "Five years."
Riveria thought back on that period of time, so much had happened after all.
"Five years?" Wonder and sadness infecting Riveria's words.
Ryuu nodded. "Five years."
She couldn't help but look to the younger Elf, a person who fought in the worst times, and lost everything because of it.
"I assume Mia still treats you well?" Asked the High Elf.
"Yes." Ryuu smiled. "She treats us like her own, far more than most of us deserve."
Riviera joined with her smile, before switching topics.
"So you know ?"
Ryuu hesitated, but replied. "Yes, he's a regular at the Hostess."
Riviera looked over throughout the corner of her eye. "You'd come all the way here, just for a regular?"
An unnoticeable blush dusted her cheeks. "He is liked by all the staff, and has made an effort in the past to defend mineself, though I didn't need it."
Riveria smile grew slightly. "He seems like a gentleman."
"Yes." Ryuu nodded, smiling once more.
"Did you know before yesterday?" Ryuu turned with a questioning expression. "About him being an Elf, that is." Finished Riveria.
Ryuu shook her head. "No, I was planning on asking him soon, and apologizing for…" Ryuu's head filled with the image of her hand caressing his ear.
Riveria was curious now. "What happened to make you blush like that?"
Ryuu snapped back to reality, quickly standing and speeding off.
"Well now I'm even more curious." The princess spoke.
.
She navigated the denser than normal undergrove, following the loosely worn path, no wider than her shoulders.
As Ryuu walked, she eventually began passing a small section of springs, paying no mind.
'Snap'
Until she stepped on a thin, but dry twig.
Motion was heard in the water, the Level Four quickly turning ready to fight, as a small Aloe scented projectile came crashing into the tree beside her.
There Bell stood, nude as the day he was born, no more than ten to fifteen feet away.
He was the first to react, dropping down into the water for concealment, doing his best to turn away.
"What are you doing here?!" He screamed.
Shaking Ryuu out of her stupor, going the same red as Bell's eyes from getting a full frontal view.
"AH?!" She sputtered, quickly dipped behind a set of different trees, dropping her flowers in the process.
"Well then?!" Bell called again.
"I w-w-w…" Ryuu tried to respond, but the image was taking up all her processing power. No matter how hard she tried, the sight would never leave her.
She slid her back down the tree, hands cupping her face.
After a moment, she slid her head out, mustering the courage to respond, only to see him at the shore, picking up his towel.
He quickly lifted his finger towards her. "Don't come out!"
She quickly dove back to cover, wondering what in the world she was thinking.
Bell dried himself off, putting on his pants. "Okay, you're fine."
Though hesitant, she slowly left the tree. Stumbling over her apology for a good few minutes.
.
"So I happened to be bathing on the trail to wherever you're headed…" Bell seemed astonished at the odds, though he had no reason to not trust her, after all, what would she gain from this.
"My apologies, it is rather unfortunate, I agree." Ryuu once again carried her flowers, now with an extra companion trailing behind.
"..."
"So where is it we're headed now?" Bell asked, though she didn't answer, coming into a clearing.
Before them stood a short mound of irregular looking dirt, on top were a variety of different weapons, all planted deep, unmoving from their final resting places.
'A grave.' Bell realized.
Bell remained quiet as Ryuu approached, hanging back a few feet.
He stood and watched as Ryuu bowed her head, offering a silent prayer, quickly matching her bow.
After she had finished, Bell stepped towards her.
"..."
"We were attacked." Ryuu spoke, surprising him. "I was the only one who made it out."
He was silent.
Ryuu spoke in a calm whisper. "I did such horrible things... To avenge them…"
Bell stepped closer, wanting to console her, but she wasn't done.
"I killed so many of them… All of them…" Ryuu, though stoic, fought to hold her emotions back.
"There's nothing wrong with avenging your family Ryuu…" Bell spoke.
"We were the guardians of justice… I turned on that…" Bell stepped around, now at her front.
"So that means you have less of a right to closure?"
Ryuu stopped. "What?"
"Who cares if you did something you're not proud of, I certainly am guilty of that myself."
"But I killed people!"
"So have I."
She froze.
"I'm not proud of it, but they were threatening my family, and I wasn't about to let them just do as they wished. If that makes me a bad person, then so be it."
Ryuu continued to look, only slowly beginning to speak a moment later.
"You had to defend your family?"
Bell nodded. "I killed six people when my best friend was sick, we needed to get him to a doctor, and we did, because I did what I had to."
"Was it that bad?" She asked.
He shook his head. "We never found out, but the doctor cured him of whatever it was..."
After a few moments of silence, Bell spoke up again.
"Did you provoke them?"
Her gaze flew up, leveling with his. "No."
Bell looked from her, to the grave. "Then who knows what might have become of someone else's family." He looked back at her. "If you hadn't fought when you did."
She looked down, caught in thought.
"Do the girls at the Hostess know?" He asked, Ryuu nodding.
"Then that's proof enough that your actions are forgivable."
She looked at him with confusion.
"You have a new family that doesn't care about your past deeds, they only care about you now. All you need to worry about is doing your best to not let that disappear."
He looked to her, standing with her head hung low, but heavily contemplating his words.
Bell turned, stepping towards her.
"Huh?!" She was caught by surprise, as he wrapped her in a warm embrace.
"You'll be okay, I promise."
Ryuu was stunned for a moment, before returning the hug, letting her worries seep out for the first time in years.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The duo were making their way back to camp, as they passed the spring where Bell had been bathing.
He took the time to retrieve the tub, Ryu waiting patiently as he did, having calmed significantly since earlier.
She couldn't help but think of how little she knew of him, and to be honest, the seeds of curiosity were planted when speaking with Riveria earlier. She nodded to herself, having made a decision.
.
They were back on the trail, Bell now carrying the small tub.
"So, Bell." He turned slightly to her, happy to talk again after earlier. "If it's not too sensitive of a subject. Why were your ears so short?"
Bell hesitated, something which didn't go unnoticed. "I…"
He thought for a moment, at first, he wanted to tell her the same tried and true story Eina had heard, but felt compelled otherwise.
"A long time ago, I was in a town during winter, this was an out of the way place, so they didn't get many non-humans." He couldn't figure out why, but he was speaking in half truths again.
"They weren't exactly too keen on letting Elves in, and it being the height of winter, so there wasn't much of a choice. My ears were cold, and I didn't feel anything."
She looked on in shock, not having expected… That.
He was a little concerned that she didn't believe him, but it wasn't like he could say there was a Human-Elf war going on, those ended just after the gods descended. He was only supposed to be eighteen after all.
Ryuu wasn't quite sure what to say, having left her home forest for similar reasons, she hadn't really considered that Humans wouldn't like Elves in the same way. Though the more she did, the less she wanted to.
A moment passed.
"You spoke about a decision in your past, the night we showed up." Ryuu opened, Bell's eyes widening as he hitched a step. "What happened, if, again, it's alright to ask?"
"..."
"..."
"I lost someone close. Someone I would rather not have…" Bell spoke, now looking more downcast than she'd ever seen him.
"I had to make a choice, it was them, or… Or a lot of people... I made the decision, and I've regretted not trying harder ever since…" Bell was trying not to shut down, though from the back, Ryuu couldn't tell.
"Can we please drop it now…?" He asked.
"Of course, I'm sorry to impose." Ryuu spoke quite quietly, hoping she wasn't digging too deep into his own personal affairs.
"Thank you." He spoke softly, trying his best to pick back up.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The fire that night was quite energetic, along with the antidote for those who had been sick, Bete had also snuck some booze down in the crates. Understandably, the executives were quite upset about this, until Gareth and Finn dipped in themselves, soon coming around to Bete's decision.
Riveria of course, was still peeved while sitting beside the slobbering fools, though, most of the people present were drunk. Save for Ais, Bell, Lili, Mikoto and Horn.
Horn still felt out of place, but the Loki Familia seemed adamant about getting to know her.
Bell chuckled slightly as he watched Horn panic while Tiona passed out drunk on her lap.
Ryuu had gone off elsewhere, still contemplating the heavy conversation from earlier..
He sat calmly, sharing in simple conversation with Ais and Lili, while the majority had left for bed.
"So you left the forest after they banished you for journeying to a human town?" Ais asked, wanting to confirm what she'd heard.
"Yeah, more or less." Bell had gotten out of funk earlier, calming since seeing Ryuu. Just enough so that he could confidently tell his fake story.
"I can't believe that's all it took…" Lili spoke with a hint of disgust.
"Unfortunately there are those who only care about purity in the species."
The three looked over, seeing the approach of Riveria, who had gotten fed up with Finn and Gareth's taunting.
Bell nodded to her.
"So then… What about you Lady Riveria?" Lili asked.
Though Bell knew the abridged version, he was interested in her telling of the story.
"Well, I spent most of my first fifty years-" Riveria seeming pained at the number. "-stuck being taught by the elders on 'how to be a pure High Elf'. Then I was stuck for… some thirty- forty years subtly fighting their beliefs, causing general frustration for the elders and especially my father." Her annoyed expression slowly shifted to one less so.
"Until Loki Familia arrived and helped me escape, to which I soon joined up under Loki, though she makes me wish I hadn't on occasion." She chuckled.
Everyone smiled at her joke.
A moment of calm passed.
"I assume that your father didn't just let you go?" Bell asked.
Riveria sighed. "No, after I arrived here in Orario, he stopped sending armed retainers to get me back. But unfortunately, he has started the more recent endeavor of sending 'proper suitors' claiming to want me to marry someone approved of, rather than a 'no-name plebeian' in his words, from here in Orario."
Riveria's attitude only souring after this.
Bell chuckled. "Well, if you ever need anyone, we're more than willing to help."
Though unseen in the dim fire light, her cheeks unknowingly turned a slight rose.
"Thank you."
.
After some time, more people left, the only remaining were Bell, Finn and Riveria.
Though Riveria only a moment later spoke her farewells.
"..."
In the moments of quiet, Bell gulped down the rest of his water.
He shared a look with Finn, though he knew not what was shared as the pallum smiled.
'...I guess it's time…' Bell thought.
"So I hear you want to be a hero." Bell spoke, catching the attention of the somewhat inebriated captain across the flames.
"Who wouldn't?" Finn asked, laughing. Though he got his answer from the look in Bell's eyes.
Finn seemed to sober a little, realizing there was gravity about to come from him.
"The path of the hero is treacherous, and easy to fall from." Bell spoke just loud enough to be heard.
"So I've heard." Finn spoke, matching Bell's seriousness. "Do you have experience with this?"
Bell thought for a second. "I wouldn't say I have experience, but I've borne witness to many who I dare call Heroes"
"But they say no true heroes have appeared since the gods arrived."
"Right, but only partially." Bell responded.
Finn raised an eyebrow.
"There have been many tales of those who change their fate through the dungeon, many who dare test the metal of foes to great for the normal man."
"What are you getting at Cranel?"
Bell paused for a moment. "I have witnessed men and women alike, die well before their time, because of self assigned burdens. Please, do not throw your life away for a cause that won't stand the test of time."
Finn spoke sharply. "My burden must be carried."
"The same words as all before you." Bell challenged.
"What is the point of this?" Finn spoke through clenched teeth.
"..." Bell hesitated to speak. "I care about the people who consider you family, I want you to be safe, I don't want them to lose you."
Finn calmed, albeit barely. "I appreciate that, but it isn't your concern what path I follow."
"Those Heroes should be admired and appreciated, not chased after."
"Are you trying to start a fight?" Finn asked, getting more upset with each word.
"I have never heard of a hero who did not find a grim fate." Bell came back.
Finn grinded his teeth.
"Those stories you've heard or read are all tainted." Bell said.
Finn was caught by this. "What?"
"They've changed over the centuries, they cut out the atrocities committed in the name of a better world, an improved situation."
Finn looked on in confusion.
"But they doomed the everlasting, in search of quick, popularizing remedies."
"Meaning?" Finn asked, not having a retort.
"In their urgency to be seen as great, to maintain the image they have adapted, they often resort to quick actions which destroy them down the line."
Finn was getting lost, but ever more curious, and angry.
"All heroes start off weak and fragile, but become lost in the quest of self fulfillment."
Finn was silent.
"Please. Don't lose yourself when there's so much at stake."
Bell and Finn stared each other down.
Bell eventually coming to the conclusion that his attempts to warn Finn were lost. So he stood and left, becoming too tired to continue, only offering one more plea as he passed the Level Six.
"Please, be careful."
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The 'age of Creation' was glorious, it housed the many early triumphs that the races of Genkai called their own.
Everything from agriculture to writing was invented in this time.
Many couldn't and didn't imagine life without such charities from the gods.
.
The Entity arrived, and with it, the 'age of Stagnation'.
.
Unbeknownst to the mortals below, a great evil had arrived in the upper world.
This Entity, as all texts had described it, was an abomination, corrupting Tenkai with every step it took.
The gods fought tooth and nail, losing some who would never see the lower world again.
It wasn't until this war ended, and the beast sent to the pit we now know as the dungeon, did the gods become able to once again communicate with the races below.
What they found was unending suffering.
.
In this time, the first kingdoms came about, be it Elven, Human, Dwarven, Ect.
This didn't surprise the gods, realizing the mortals needed to band together for survival.
What they didn't expect, was for them to fight among each other.
.
The 'age of Heroes' began at that time.
.
As the gods found the kingdoms of Genkai slaughtering each other, they arrived in time for them to become under siege of the newly spawned 'monsters'.
These 'monsters', were the unforeseen vengeance of the Entity, now attempting to destroy all it could before the gods would intervene.
Ironically, that was the only thing which kept the mortals from destroying each other.
.
The spirits were created in an effort to aid the mortals, given the power of the 'Enchantments' to spread among those deemed worthy.
These heroes, at first, weren't well selected.
All too often, they would turn on their own countrymen, taking power for themselves, instilling new monarchs, and lording their power over others.
It was through this, that many lives were lost. Be it from resistance, or a lack of proper kingship, the people of these kingdoms always suffered.
Heroes that didn't take advantage of the 'Enchantment' were few and far between.
.
The next portion, and last, of the 'age of Heroes' is what set the Heroes down the path of fame, rather than infamy.
The first few heroes of good intention rose up, feared at first, but soon worshiped as saviors and saints.
They are what made the world safe, bringing the mortals together under one banner, cultivating into the hero known as Albert who led his army of Mercenaries into battle, securing the ash black fields, which one day would be known as Orario.
It was only then, in this time of peace and security, did the races of man truly realize their losses, that is until they couldn't remember them.
And soon, with all this said and done, the knowledge of how the 'age of Heroes' began, was forever lost.
This would be the biggest contributor to the hubris seen in the new 'age of Gods'.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Hermes did as he pleased, that is how the typical member of his familia would describe him, and by all accounts, it wasn't a compliment.
He currently sat smiling across from a rather upset looking princess, though this was not the Emerald haired High Elf we're accustomed to, no, this was princess Asfi Al Andromeda.
Both a person who owes much to Hermes, and also is owed more than any other, mostly because she is the one always being dragged along by the whimsical god.
It was quite bothersome.
.
"Can I be left out of whatever shenanigans you're planning…" Asfi spoke, though compared to her normal calculating self, was more tired and annoyed.
"Now, now, dear Asfi. You're a key player in tonight's performance."
She sighed, rather being asleep in her tent than sitting at a tavern, and a disgusting one at that.
"We need to show that boy that the world can be unfair." Hermes spoke calmly.
Asfi raised her gaze to the god. "Didn't you hear lady Hestia? She said he was familiar with the world's cruelties, what makes you think he can't handle himself?"
He shrugged. "I just want to make sure."
"Didn't he already tie you to a tree today?"
Hermes jumped. "No! He-he…" Hermes was at a loss.
"You just want revenge don't you?" She asked.
Hermes, instead of answering, decided to look away and whistle.
Asfi sighed, for what was likely not the last time tonight.
.
They sat for a good while, hoping to find whoever Hermes was searching for.
That was, until the doors opened, and in came three men, whom Hermes had seen 'interact' with Bell earlier that day.
Asfi noticed her gods smile, as he stood, she was about to follow, until he reached into her cloak, and grabbed the 'Hades Head' from her holster.
She froze, realizing what it was he was planning to do.
She was conflicted, not wanting to turn on her god, but also not wanting to harm the boy that obviously has been through alot in his time.
"Say boys! What would ya say to getting back at that Little Rookie."
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Unbeknownst to Bell, as he finally found the sleep which eluded him.
The domino effect which would lead to the worst series of events in his recent life, were beginning to line up.
Many things would change for him, in these weeks to come.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Fun Facts!
1. It is believed that Five races (including the Snow Elves) were wiped from Genkai during the 'age of Heroes'.
2. Bell has met 2 different Spirits, and 3 heroes in total.
3. Being the only person who knows about the first half of the last 'age', he is quite skeptical of new heroes rising today.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Bonus :
Hello! A reader suggested a scene for a flashback with Ais, Aria and Albert. Sadly, it isn't going to fit anywhere in this story's canon, but it was too funny to just sit in my PM's and never be seen again.
So please enjoy a mini NON-CANNON omake!
.
Omake by: NiebieskiLis
Topic : Albert gets a reminder of his drunken marriage to Bell.
.
Little Ais runs happily to her parents shouting. "Mummy! Daddy! Guess what?!"
Aria curious asks. "What is it sweetheart?"
Little Ais with a full smile and pride in voice. "When I grow up, I will marry Bell!"
Albert erupts. "Bell you b***! Where is my sword? I'll Hunt that rabbit!"
Aria meanwhile smiles at her daughter. "Sure you will sweetie." Looking at Albert. "Dear?"
"I'm gonna make rabbit stew" daddy mind is in very distant place
"Dear!"
"Ah wha-what is it honey?" All the time smiling, Aria says looking at Albert "This one she inherited from you!"
At the mention of that cursed day, all rage at the rabbit traitor evaporated from his body losing all colour and strength to stand as Albert fell to the ground in the fetal position.
At this pitiful sight, Aria erupts with Full laughter.
Meanwhile Little Ais with a divide stick that for some reason appears in this situation, pokes her silly thing at her daddy, while also thinking of petting a white rabbit.
.
Just to reiterate, this Omake was NON-CANON.

A/N
Heyo! Nice to see you all, and I hope you enjoyed it!
I would like to thank you all for the support!
I was really surprised by the sheer level of support I've been getting in the last two chapters.
I really do appreciate it and hope I can maintain my level of quality through to the end for all of you!
Thank you!
.
Second, I am sad to say that the Orario in Minecraft was only made for a French MMO server.
I was quite disappointed that I couldn't download it and roam around like I intended.
Oh well, I'll just wait for it to hopefully come out one day.
.
Lastly, in case you guys hadn't figured it out, I don't like Hermes.
The dude's a scumbag.
.
Thank you all for reading! Have a good mid week!
Take care and stay safe!
