is anyone still reading this? Haven't gotten a review in a couple of weeks.


Raphtalia swung her sword to meet Aiz's Desperate. The two exchanged swings as they dueled on the city wall. Aiz was intrigued by how fast Raphtalia was gaining knowledge on combat. She wasn't just trying to be the Shield Hero's Sword, she was trying to be his trusted Damage.

Aiz had went over the basic party system with Raphtalia after a day of training. The basic party was made up of five roles: The Tank, The Damage, The Support, The Scout and The Healer.

Bell served as the party's Tank. Protecting anyone he could with his shield. Eina was the party's Support, increasing the basic abilities of Bell and Raphtalia. And Raphtalia had to learn to inflict the damage as effectively and as often as possible. Opportunities were not always so easy.

Freya dripped her blood on Alfrigg's back, sealing his status. She was finally pleased with him. For the last four days, he worked extremely hard. Allowing himself to Level up to Six. This would allow him to better serve in his future role as the one to fight the Book Hero. While, he alone could not beat Riveria Ljos Alf alone in a fair fight. He could keep her out of the Wave with the help of his brothers.

Unlike Riveria Ljos Alf who had three Companions. Alfrigg had five and three of them were his brothers. Due to one of Alfrigg's Skills, Battle Brothers. He could increase the basic abilities of blood relatives by three-fold. His other Skill, United. Allowed his brothers to share their senses with each other. These two Skills when combined allowed them to fight in sync without visual or verbal communication, that rivaled any higher leveled Hero or Adventurer.

Alfrigg stood up as he used another of his Skills, Summon. A Skill only learned by Heroes after they reach Level 2. The ability to use something similar to a Magic that brings the user's Companions to them through their exchange of Mind. If used excessively it can cause Mind Down.

From his shadow appeared two members of the Freya Familia: Allen and Anya Fromel. Freya's Fraternal Felidae, a pair of twin siblings that are feared by most as the long reach of Freya. Allen holding a silver spear and Anya holding a gold one.

Freya spoke to the pair as they genuflected their Goddess, "Soon there will be a Wave. You will engage the Hyrute Sisters and their dog, Bete Loga. I don't want them to interfere with the festivitive show that my new Candidate will display."

Ottar looked over the War Shadows he had caught, using his Tamer Developed Ability. Most were scrawny little things. Ottar had been given information from the Apate Familia that Bell Cranel had a particular fight with an Irregular War Shadow.

Ottar heard foot steps through Knossos. He turned around to see Gran of the Ikelos Familia and another person.

A female Weretiger with platinum blonde hair that had raven black tresses throughout her bobcut. Her hair covered her left side of her face. Her blue iris right eye pierced the darkness and almost illuminated her orange crop top and black girdle.

Behind the pair was a large cage full of orphaned children. Ottar could tell, just by looking at them that they were not blessed by the Deities. Ottar knew that a Wave required a Dungeon Core Infant. And the only way that could be accomplished was by having a monster kill and consume people. He did not care for this task, but he steeled himself to make this task come to pass. For his will was as his Goddess willed.

He addressed the Weretiger woman, "Apate Familia Captain Fraudea Sly, who is in your company?"

Fraudea tossed head back in the children's direction, "Orphans bartered to us by the Thrax Familia of Rakia. Their conquered homeland will have no more use for them, seeing as it was demolished."

Ottar looked shocked as he ard the Dungeon shatter along the wall. Black water flowed to the Dungeon floor. Ottar lifted his hand up as the War Shadows turned to a opening in the Dungeon wall.

From the wall leaped out a black humanoid monster. However this War Shadow was... different. It swung it's right hand as it's knife like fingers flew through the air after breaking off it's hands like glass. The knives of black turned to black flame and went for the War Shadows.

Ottar saw three of his minions be slew. He grinned as he found his quarry. He readied his axe and proceeded to engage in combat.

After a good ten minute brawl. Ottar had brought down the monster that regenerated it's fingers with each thrown. The dust had been kicked up as Ottar said spitting to the side a spittle of blood, "Leave the product. Your payment is waiting elsewhere."

Fraudea asked shook to her core, "I have never seen a monster born outside the Dungeon. Especially here in the Man Made dungeon Knossos."

Ottar nodded as he stepped on the neck of the monster, "Yes, very interesting."

Lefiya chewed on her sleeve as she watched Aiz practice with that Tanuki and Hume Bunny. Sure, Aiz was free to practice with whomever she wanted. But, why did it have to be a boy?! Why was it that when she knocked him out, her Aiz gave him a lap nap?!

Raphtalia blushed as she said to Aiz, "Lady Aiz, is that proper!?"

Aiz looked Raphtalia dead straight and replied seriously, "It is proper to have a well rest. No matter where in a Dungeon you may find yourself."

Blushing and closing her eyes she said throwing down her fists, "Th-Th-Then I want to do that with Mr. Bell too!"

Nodding Aiz replied, "Very well."

She then patted to her left and said as if summoning a cute dog, "Come."

Raphtalia's ears tucked as her tail swished and swashed. She sat down and scooted up to Aiz. Aiz picked up Bell's head and stood up.

Raphtalia scooted over and felt his warm hair rest on her lap. Aiz then went to Bell's waist and dusted off her bottom before sitting down on his waist. She scooted around rubbing into her seat as she said leaning back on her hands looking up at the sky, "It sure is a beautiful day."

Raphtalia's face was red and steam could practically be seen from her ears.

Bell awoke as he felt a soft weight on his lap. And the back of his head on another one of Aiz's lap naps...

He opened his eyes to feel a pair of buxom breasts push into his blushing face. He heard Raphtalia cry out in panic, "Don't look Mr. Bell. Lady Aiz, dismount Mr. Bell now!"

Bell took a minute to register thought announcement. Wait, if Aiz needed to dismount. Then, that means the buxom bosom pushing into his face was, was, was...

Aiz turned to look at Bell getting hugged by Raphtalia. She thought to herself. 'Hmm, how do I get bigger? Hmm, who do I know that is big? Tione and Rivera were pretty big. Perhaps they had some tips. After all, it seems like someone is feeling good about big girls.'

Aiz rubbed her now warm and hard seat. She enjoyed it as she slid a thigh over it. Getting into a position similar to riding a saddle.

Aiz stood up, but not before patting her seat. She made a mental note that the seat was nice and sturdy. Would no doubt support her weight.

Unbeknownst to anyone in Orario. Ottar was finishing up his two week long task. The Irregular War Shadow huffed as it dropped the skull of a human. It's magic brimmed with power as red and black lightning shot forth from it's body. It wrapped itself in the energy and slowly formed to like like a heart. The entity pumped as cracks appeared across it.

A three clawed hand shattered the magic projection. The monster walked out and looked to Ottar with rage. But, it knew better than attack someone stronger than it. A shine from it's exposed magic stone summoned around it a shadowy flame. One that consumed the illumination from the magic lamps.

Ottar turned around and beckoning the monster, "Follow."

Riveria Ljos Alf was currently relaxing in the back of a carriage. She was recuperating from the exhausting wave.

Tiona smiled as she teased her sister, "Sooo, do you think Finn got a good all the accccttion you doing, sis?"

Tione bonked her sister with a blush, "The Captain can look if he wants, I'm not stopping him. Besides, the Captain has more important things to worry about."

The eyes of the Book Hero snapped open in a cold sweat as she shot up in fear, "Nooooo…"
