Chapter-3 Everyday life of the Rabbit

2 Years Later

It was Bells birthday today he was finally five that means he can start his training. The previous day he had been jumping up and down in joy knowing he was about to start training with his uncle and mom. He had started calling Aunty Alfia mom because how she reminded him of his own mother and how she used to take care of Bell whenever there is a problem and now Aunty Alfia was doing the same thing.

The past two years were interesting to say the least he had learned both the common and the language of the gods they did this by updating and showing Zard s back to Bell. What surprised all of them was when Zeus updated the status and it's showed that Zard had levelled to a level 8 this shocked everyone in the room. Then Zeus said "I guess surviving the Black Dragon is considered as a great feat". Later that day a letter was send to Hera to inform her of this and to come and update Alfia s status. Hera arrived few days later and after updating Alfia s status, that she too was now a level 8.

Now moving towards the present day Bell was finally 5 and everyone he cares about his family was present. Alfia, Zard, Hera and Zeus they were holding gifts and were waiting for Bell to blow out the candles. Which he did he got gifts from everyone his mom {I will be referring to Alfia as mom and Myrtella as mother} gave him a book on magic and fighting techniques Zard gave him a set of new clothes which were enchanted and specially made foe fighting. It was a black shirt with a sleeveless jacket of black cloth with red and white linings and black pants and boots. Hera gave the boy books on heroes as she knew how much he like them and she and Alfia liked reading the book to him.

Finally it was Zeus s turn he took out a black box which was small he then said that it was a gift which his mother and father had wanted to give it to him when he had turned five. Hearing this boy teared up a bit then took the box and opened it he gasped inside was a beautiful black dagger with runes inscribed on it he couldn't read it since he hadn't learned that much runes. He flipped the blade and saw the name Hepoistos written on it he figured that this must be the person's name who must have crafted this dagger.

He looked up crying and hugging his grandfather saying "It is beautiful and thank u!" he then went to give everyone a hug. After that he went to bed after all tomorrow was the day he would start training. His mom had told him she would wake him up at 4 for training he was too excited to fall asleep but eventually he fell asleep.

Next Day

"Bell wake up its time!"
"...Mom five more minutes please!" says a very sleepy Bell while yawning.

Suddenly Bell feels ice cold water splashing down on him. He gets up in a start screaming "AHHHHHHHHHH ITS COLD!"Wake up and go take a bath Zard is waiting for u downstairs.

"Ok mom, But why did u have to pour water on top of me "

"I did warn u that it is going to be extremely hard. Now stop complaining and get up or do u need another bucket of water I have a colder one right here for u to get up."

"I AM UP I AM UP please anything than that please" Bell asked in a pleading voice
"Then get up take a bath go downstairs Zard is waiting for u NOW"
"Got it and thank u both for dong this I love u Mom!"
" Cheeky brat..." Alfia whispered to herself with a small smile on her face

Bell quickly took a bath and went downstairs he gobbled the pancakes which were kept for him quickly drank the orange juice and went to the living room. There he saw his Uncle talking to his grandfather and grandmother. When they saw him coming they quickly wrapped up their conversation.

"Ok Bell first we are going out of the village to practise next to the woods. Second ,the time u will be training with me will be till evening and then u will train your mind with your Aun…Mom "quickly changing his words when he got a death glare from Alfia she liked to be called Bells mom and not his Aunt because she says it makes her feel old. And when Alfia says something it automatically becomes the law unless someone tries to stop her but that would mean instant death. So everyone just shuts their mouth and to be honest they like to see the small smile which comes to her face whenever Bell calls her mom.

So Bell and Zard set of on their way toward the woods. They reached a small clearing before the woods.

Zard turned towards Bell and said "I will teach u some basic techniques practice them for 6-7 hours or so. Then u will be up against me but don't worry I will be holding back a lot" he had changed his words when he saw Bells face pale.

"Also if u do get hurt we have plenty of potions for u to be healed so don't worry" this just made him more scared since now he knew he was going to be beaten up pretty bad but then he remembered his promise to his mother and steeled himself.

"I am ready!"

Zard showed Bell some basic techniques and told him to master them completely. He showed him how to use the knife which he has been given properly .After 3 hours of swinging his knife in all the moves he had been taught he got a 5 minute break. But he knew now was when the real training was going to begin he once again steeled his resolve for the fight with his uncle. Then the fight finally came…

Bells POV

I took the stance which I had been taught, Uncle seemed unfazed by this. I took out my knife which I named Nigreos as it means black blade in Latin. I then charged uncle and used the first move hr taught me a simple slash in which u use your bodies weight and momentum to land a deadly strike. As the blade was about to make contact he took out a sword made of stick and deflected it without blinking his eyes, then he hit me on the head with it.

"Your movements are to predictable try to confuse the opponent and try to read what they will do next."

I then got up and used all the moves he had taught me until now to attack. It was not perfect in fact it was far from it but I made sure uncle did not know what move I was going to be using or so I taught I was hit on the head and knocked out. I got up after sometime because of a potion. Then we did this over and over again he told me what I did wrong I was bruised and knocked out constantly only to be bought back by a potion so it went on.

After what felt like an eternity it was over I was gasping for air like a fish out of water. We had a quick lunch. His uncle then just said that the rest of the training will be me fighting monsters. I thought I didn't hear him properly I just looked at him with a blank look before knowing that he was dead serious.

"But uncle don't I need more training before I hunt down monsters" Bell asked in a voice that was filled with fear he had known he would have to face monsters eventually but not the first day of training.

"You will do just fine if anything bad is about to happen I will step in and save u ok..."

"Ok…."

Normal POV

Bell went into the woods he was breathing very fast his knuckles were white due to him holding Nigreos really hard. His uncle had said that he would be following behind him but Bell could not see him anywhere.

Suddenly he heard a bush rustle he turned around to find a goblin there. It had red eyes and pale green skin and only a loincloth to cover his privates. It looked at Bell with those bloodlust eyes thinking that he had found a snack. Bell was panicking at this point he had not completely gotten over his fear of a goblin. Bell then remembered uncle's teachings and calmed down he took a look at his surroundings and saw no other movement this was good this was a lone goblin.

The goblin rushed forward Bell barley dogged the claw going for his neck but was still scratched on the arm. He yelled out in pain then scolded himself that he could alert more enemies but thankfully no more goblins came. He was getting dizzy he had to end it quick the claws came as it lunged towards him thinking it had won but bell ducked under its arm and slashed it like he had been taught thankfully the momentum of the goblin was its downfall as Bell cut through the magic stone inside the goblin. The goblin then turned to black dust he was so happy he had won he was about to black out but before that he took out the potion that this uncle had given to him and poured it on his wound completely healing it.

He then picked up the magic stone and turned to see his uncle there.

"Look Uncle Zard I killed a goblin!" he was jumping up and down in joy

"Well done Bell now let's cont….." before Zard could finish he saw bell run past him towards his home.

He got there and opened the door and ran into the living room where everyone was.
"Mom, grandpa and grandma I killed a goblin "they all looked at each other then Alfia began.

"You killed a single goblin"

"Yeah!"

"They are the weakest monster and they are even weaker on the surface"

"…"

"You killed one goblin and came back"

At this point Bell was turning tomato red in embarrassment he then said" I will kill more and come "

Only to be stopped by Zard who had come back to listen to the conversation.
"You did well Bell you were already tired from our training and you even executed the move which I taught u very well. Today's training is done now Alfia will train u in learning to control your mind."

Bell nodded his head vigorously pleased by the praise given to him by his master and a Hero he looked up to.

"Bell go bath and come I don't want u stinking up the place got it then we can begin." Alfia said

"Ok mom "Bell then ran up to his room grabbed a fresh pair of clothes and went to take a quick shower. When he got down he saw his mom with two big books in her hand.

"Mom what are the books about "asked a very curious Bell

"OH these are what u will be learning for now. These are the familia records of our familia they contain a lot of information they were left by the previous generation of captains from when the familia was created." Alfia replied

"Mom how old are they?"

"About a thousand years or so"

"Ahh! I see a thousand… wait what they are so old I did not know our familia were that old."

"Now that I have answered your questions come and read them or do u want me to come and make u" Alfia said this. Not wanting to make his mother mad he quickly sat down on the couch and opened the book. To his surprise the book was about the monsters and the first page was about you guessed it goblins. It showed what weapons it could use; its strength, and weaknesses, how intelligent are they, where their magic stone is present etc.

"Mom these are ..."

"Yes they are about monster in the dungeon and on the surface. If u know more about your enemy u can fight them more effectively. This will help u tomorrow so read it up and I will put a test after u finished reading then we can go eat dinner. After that we train your mind ok"

"Ok mom" he was going to learn this properly and will definitely beat more of the goblins tomorrow.

In the test he got a complete score much to the surprise of Alfia. She complimented Bell on his test to which the rabbit boy blushes as it was rare for her to give complements and he did want to make her proud of him.

After dinner was over the training of the mind was about to begin. He was ready for anything he was thinking it was going the be like the training with uncle Zard so he was prepared.

"Sit down on this mat. Do u remember the pose which I taught u for meditation sit down like that" Bell did as he was told. "Now close your eyes and sit there for 2 hours until your bedtime"

Now Bell was confused is this really train it is so easy then the other one. Uncle Zard said that training of the mind would be more difficult but why is that he only had to sit down close your eyes. After 5 minutes had passed bell was starting to get reckless he moved a little only to get a bonk on his head with a stick. He opened his eyes and saw his mom standing with a stick. She said "If u move u will get hit so don't move. Also try to feel your mana and concentrate on that and who told u can open your eyes" receiving yet another hit on the head with the stick.

The next two hours were spent with Bell getting hit multiple times. After that Bell went to sleep and this routine continued for several months until Christmas was the next day.

Bell was given this day and the day of the Christmas to enjoy and relax his body and mind. He had grown strong now he could take out about 20 goblins together all on his own he was very proud of it. He would say he was happy but during the winter months he noticed that his mom was having trouble breathing because of her disease. She hid it very well too, he hadn't noticed it until his training were he had been taught to look for even the minute detail he was not good at it but was decent enough to notice the change in his moms breathing. He even noticed a slight sliver in his uncle's body due to the degradation of his body due to the consumption of the behemoths flesh.

He was at this moment out near a small valley just roaming and messing around thinking about his moms and uncles problem and feeling sad because he could not do anything. He wished that he could somehow help or cure their pain away. Little did he know that his wish was going to be answered.

As he was walking he heard a loud screeching noise as if some bird was hurt. Being curious he went to see what was happening. When he got there he saw five goblins surrounding a very beautiful red and orange bird. He was mesmerised by the beauty of this bird then he became angry at the goblins for always hurting the weak. He took out his knife Nigreos and charged the goblins to protect the fiery bird.

As he got close he pushed the knife into the goblins chest, it instantly turned to ash as he had struck the magic stone. Due to what he had learned he knew exactly where the stones were and would always target them to finish them of in one quick motion. His fighting style was still in work but it was still efficient. The second goblin hearing a noise turned just to get horizontally slashed killing it to. Now the other three goblins were weary of him soon two goblins charged him he stated spinning like before because he was still not strong enough to kill them without it. He ducked under the first ones arm and using the momentum from the motion landed a slash on the other goblins neck causing it to spill out blood and causing slow death. The other two goblin were furious seeing all 3 of their comrades die so the both charged him he tried to jump back to avoid the attack only to slip on the blood and fall down earning him a big cut on his cheek. He stumbled due to the sudden blood loss but then snapped out of it as the goblin charged he used the move which he was taught in one fluent movement he ran turned around in mid-air 360 degreed and slashed at both of their chest killing them.

As he finished of the goblins he turned to see how the bird was doing only to find it in front of him. He started griping his blade thinking that it could be dangerous only for the bird to fall down to show scratch marks on its wings and legs. He had healing potion on him for emergencies without even thinking a moment about it he took it and poured it on the birds wound disregarding his own wound. The bird just looked at him then it started to cry it then came near Bell and poured his tears in his wound instantly healing it. Bell was surprised to say the least he just said thank you then suddenly the bird turned all fiery then suddenly a same fiery aura surrounded him he felt warmth. When he opened his eyes he did not see the bird he only saw a beautiful feather, he picked it up and decide to know what bird he had encountered.

When Bell reached home he ran to his room took the familia record and searched it for the mysterious bird. He soon found it with writings own it. It said that the bird was the phoenix it was supposed to be a bird with extremely incredible healing powers. Its feathers when mixed I hot burning water would provide such a healing elixir that it will heal any injuries and diseases. He then knew what the writing was about this could be used to cure mom and uncle but was discarded because the phoenix was seen only twice in 2000 years and only one person got a flower 800 years ago and was able to attain immortality using it.

He was jumping up and down his wish had been answered. He quickly got in bed and slept the next day came and Bell ran to a river he had been taught how to build a fire so after sometime he had the feather in a pot of boiling water. What surprised him the most was he had by mistakenly touched the fire but he had not gotten burned strange he had taught to himself. And soon it was done boiling he poured the mixture into two glass vials he had just enough the rest had been evaporated when he had added the feather. It had a ranbowish colour to it.

By the time he came home it was already time to celebrate. Everyone were giving one another gifts. Bell got a book about battle strategies from his mom, a cook book from his uncle when asked why he had given him this he had told him that an adventurer needs to learn how to survive on his own and that from now own he was going to teach bell to cook. He got yet another Heroes stories from his grandfather which he loved immediately and asked him to read it to him when he goes to sleep to which he got a nod of agreement. Lastly he got a snow globe from his grandmother seeing his eyes sparkle let them all know that Hera had won their little bet about whose gift Bell would like more.

Finally it was time for him to give the gifts he had an amulet for his grandfather which depicted his familia's emblem with the names of all the captains engraved behind it he had done the same for his grandmother so that they could remember their children forever. Both of them hugged Bell after receiving their gifts and said that they would treasure it forever. Then it was finally his moms and uncles turn he was very excited to give his gift as well as nervous he hoped that it would work. Everyone in the room saw his expression, Bell finally took out to glass vials and gave it to them and told them to drink it they thanked Bell and drank the potions.
"What do u feel?" Bell asked finally with hope in his eyes

"Nothing" they both said this at the same time. They thought Bell would become sad because the potions did not do what it was meant to instead he started jumping in joy up and down screaming "IT WORKED! IT WORKED! "

Now they all were confused "Bell we feel nothing the potion did not work"

Bell then asked Zeus and Hera to update their status they did not find anything different but bell saw it and became even more happier he ran up to his room to get their previous status update sheet. When they saw him come down Alfia and Zard repeated the same question but this time got an answer.

"You feel nothing right"
"Yes" Answered both of them at the same time

"That means it worked you don't feel anything that means you don't feel pain." They took a couple of second to realise this they just started at Bell in utter disbelief.
"Mom you have no trouble in breathing and uncle you are not shivering anymore" It was true Zard was feeling like himself after a very long time, he was always in pain after he had eaten the behemoths flesh. As for Alfia she had never felt like this she felt no pain in her breathing for the first time in her whole life she truly felt no pain.

"That means the potion worked" Bell continued. Now they knew what he said was true but they could still not quite believe it, they had tried to search for a cure for so long and were not able to find it. Seeing that they were still not convinced Bell brought out the status sheets and showed them. Which then showed that the skill that showed that they were affected were no longer there as if it had disappeared.

They then looked at Bell and asked him how he had gotten this potion to which he explained how. As soon as he was one explaining he was tackled in a hug by his mother who was crying with joy when they pulled away he saw the most radiant smile he had ever seen on her face he was also tearing up in joy seeing his mother finally show a real smile" Thank u Bell I love u! "She whispered slowly into his ears now Bell was crying buckets while hugging his mom. His uncle then came and gave him a hug his grandfather and grandmother did the same. They were happy that their children no longer had to suffer anymore they were truly grateful of their grandson. They soon ate dinner and went to sleep Alfia and Zard had a very good sleep in a very long time.

Time Skip 5 Years Later

It had been five years since Bell had stated his training. He had mastered to use Nigreos very well but what surprised him was that his uncle had also given him a sword to which he asked Bell to duel wield with the knife. He hadn't understood why his uncle would have asked him to do such a thing since the sword which he was given was not that great it was a simple iron sword when asked why he was using the sword he would always say "You will need it for the future to do what u want to desire." This always used to confuse him until his tenth birthday was. Everyone would present to him a pitch black sword. It was a beautiful sword only could be compared to his knife but unlike his knife it was somehow more beautiful it also had runes engraved on it crafted by the same person who made his knife. The swords grip was a obsidian black colour he had never seen before as for the cross guard it was an unnatural sea blue but what had him surprised was the blade itself as it was the pitchest black he had seen. He had seen this colour once before but could not remember where then a sudden realisation hit him the dragon it was from the dragon he got confused for a moment because they knew how Bell felt about the dragon then realised that he would not be given this without reason.

His grandfather finally decided to speak" Bell looking at your face you have already have figured out what the blade is made of"

"Yes" He said

"Bell when your father fought the dragon whatever he did the dragon was not hurt it was not because Maxim lacked strength it was because the scales of the dragon were so hard that even durandal weapons broke."

Bell listened carefully he had turned sad at the mention of his father as the memories flooded in but this had just strengthened his desire and drive for his goal to kill the dragon so no one would ever loose anyone important to them ever again by its hand. To be the hero who would slay the beast. Then he heard about the durandal weapons he had studied it in the familia record and leaned that it was made from adamantine and orichalcum and was said to be unbreakable.

Zeus continued" In his last moment u saw what he did he used all of his power on the last weapon he had and smashed it into the dragon that's when we noticed that the blow that had vibrated toward the entirety of the dragon had actually forced the scales to dig into the flesh and the smaller scales were destroyed. It had to shake of the scales to survive so we figured that the only weapon capable of killing the dragon would be itself and hence the creation of the sword its grip and hilt is made of the behemoths bones and the cross guard with the horn of the leviathan and finally the blade with the strongest scale of the black dragon. A weapon made to kill the Queen of the sky and this weapon we entrust it to u Bell we believe that u can do what no one else could and knowing what u desire the most this weapon will aid u in completing your goal." Zeus finished Bell was in tears hearing this he won't and hugged them and said

"I won't let u down I will make u proud of me I will become a hero!" Bell declared

Four Years Later

Four years had passed since that day and today was the day Bell would set out on his journey. He got up early packed his bag he had packed 10,000 valis extra clothes and other essentials. He went down ate his breakfast and came into the living room were his family waited for him. He had grown up a lot he had well defined muscles from his time from training and he was still cute like a bunny but he had become more handsome.

When he went down he received the last bit of gifts from his family to help in his journey. He got a black scarf rom his mom made of behemoth skin and black dragon scales left over from the crafting of his sword it would provide him physical as well as poison protection. Next he got the familia record books from both Zeus and Hera and finally from Zard he got a book which contained a map of Orario and where he would find stuff along with description on gods which he wrote with the help of the two gods present it would give him a good idea as to which god he should choose. He was also told specifically by Alfia that he should stay far away from Freya and Ishtar he nodded his head at that he trusted his mom more than anyone and he was just too scared to disobey her and so with a final goodbye the rabbit left his home.
