Much time went by and Bell's relationship with the new twins improved, more so with the younger one. As he did, he noticed Ais getting more annoyed, yet restraining herself from doing something. Whatever it was, he had no idea. In the two weeks that passed, they had traveled to Floor 17 so they could challenge Goliath for their level ups. The timing couldn't have been better as Finn was approached by Bors for help with dealing with the monster rex. The man agreed to let the girls deal with it and the two were able to defeat the boss together and rise to level 4. In Bell's Familia, the girls were also trying to strengthen themselves. They took regular trips to Floor 37 whenever they could with Zald and pushed themselves as hard as they could. However, in that time, they were only able to manage two visits in order to balance their work properly. Fortunately, they were able to go on another trip today bringing us to right now where they were waiting by the front gates of Twilight Manor for the others would be joining them.
Ardi: Are you still sure about this? These kids are still young.
Zald: Perhaps, but they are at similar levels of strength. Ais is level 5 and the twins are new level 4s. With all of you, they will be able to handle themselves fine.
Kaguya: Maybe I should try what they did and take on Goliath when it respawns?
Lyra: Not the worst idea. It comes back decently fast and taking it on solo would be a good way to level up. The only bad part is the wait since a lot of us are still waiting to get to level 5.
Neze: Yeah.
Iska: Not to mention Lady Astraea has been looking into finding new recruits for our Familia.
Ardi: *Smiling* Isn't it exciting though?! Being able to teach rookies how to stand for justice sounds so cool!!
Ryuu: I agree. Passing our Familia practices to those who are worthy will benefit the entire city.
Alise: True, but we still need to make sure we keep pushing forward ourselves.
Kaguya: No need to remind us.
Neze: I don't think I'll be able to handle another kid shooting past us.
Speaking of kids, Bell had come back with Ais, Tiona and Tione along with Riveria behind them.
Riveria: I trust you will be able to watch over them?
Zald: Of course. I swear nothing will happen to them.
Riveria: Thank you. *Looks to the girls* And you girls better stay on guard. This is a dangerous journey you all will take. So, Tione, make sure Ais and Tiona don't do anything stupid.
Tione: Got it.
With that, the elf left and the three girls joined their party.
Bell: They're here!
His Familia turned and saw the three girls with him.
Alise: Great, we're all here!
Tiona: They'll be joining in?
Bell: Yeah, I'll introduce you. The one with red hair is our Captain, Alise. The elf is Ryuu and the prum is Lyra. The blue haired girl is Ardi and the werewolf is Neze. The amazon is Iska and the last one is Kaguya. *Turns to his Familia* These two are Tiona and Tione, and they're gonna join us on our trip to Floor 37.
Ardi: Nice to meet you two!
Neze: Let's all do our best!
Tiona: Yeah!!
Kaguya: Damn, more children.
Tiona: What's that supposed to mean?! I won't be a kid for much longer!!
Kaguya: That isn't the point! I absolutely refuse to play catch up with someone much younger than me! We may both be level 4, but I promise you I will stay ahead on my honor as one of the Gojouno clan!
Tiona: *Raising an eyebrow with a smirk* Oh really? Tell me, Kakuzu. What makes you think I won't get stronger than you? My sister and I aren't amazons for nothing, you know.
The far eastern girl was fuming now.
Kaguya: I've been a level 4 for much longer than you have. I'm one feat away from level 5, so Ais and Bell will be the only children who surpass me. For the sake of my dignity I can't afford another like them! Also, it's Kaguya! Gojouno Kaguya!
The small amazon but her arms behind her head and smiled.
Tiona: Okay then, may the best adventurer win, Hinokami Kagura! *Smiling*
Kaguya: THAT ISN'T MY NAME!!!
Lyra: Ah, man.
Neze: You think she'll be ok?
Zald: We'll find out. For now, let's be off.
Alise: Let's go!!!
And so, the party of women, except Bell and Zald, ventured down the dungeon. Nothing worth noting happend during the first few floors.. Although, Ais was having mental crisis upon reaching floor 35.
Alise: Ais, I know those Almiraj from the middle floors look like Bell-
Bell: They do not!!!
Alise: But they aren't Bell.
Ais: *Nodding*
She kept thinking about it, and the idea of hurting him was unbearable to her. Ais was soon able to move past that once the view of the colosseum was there for everyone.
Tione: Is that it?
Iska: Sure is. That is where we'll be fighting for the next few days.
Tiona: Sweet!! Old man Gareth got me this new Urga I've been dying to try out!!
Tione: He also told you not to train with it very late at night.
Tiona: Teehee!
Zald: No time like the present. I'll keep a hold of our belongings while you all focus on fighting.
Alise: Thanks!
They went in and went to work right away. The level 4s had to pace themselves properly, but everyone was able to manage especially since Bell was equal in power to a level 6.
Tiona: Karaage, on your right!
Clang*
Kaguya was able to intercept an attack from a lizard man elite than nearly caught her off guard. The blue monster was quickly dealt with as the onslaught continued. Wave after wave was thrown at them and after a few hours, they were feeling the heat.
Alise: Hah... we can't keep this for much longer!
The redhead looked around her and saw her Familia looking hurt and tired. Ardi and Ryuu had their backs together and leaned in their swords before the next wave appeared.
Neze: You think it's time to retreat for today, Captain?
Alise: Yeah! BELL!!!
Bell: Yes, Ma'am!!!
A roar of thunder was heard before the rapid explosion of monsters followed. Ais and the other were amazed to see Bell deal with them all so easily. They ran out of there and talked about what happened when they returned.
Tiona: Man, that was the coolest!
Lyra: It still amazes me how powerful you are.
Neze: Yeah... you aren't... hah... even sweating that much.
Bell: It's too bad we have to end it once it starts getting fun. At least we got a lot of stones from this.
He turned to his uncle carrying a massive load full of magic stones on his back, yet not looking bothered by it in the slightest.
Zald: Money was never a goal, but it never hurts to have some on stand by. Speaking of, is splitting our earnings in half fine with everyone?
Alise: That's fine. I think Uncle Gareth told me that Finn was thinking of taking us to the next Loki Familia expedition. I'm sure he wouldn't mind the extra funds.
Tione: *Sparkling eyes* We should get as much as we can while we're down here!!!
Flashback...
Finn had brought Loki and Tione, at Riveria's request, to Tsubaki's forge to get an update on the requests they had put in.
Loki: We're coming in!!
She opened the door, and the blacksmith turned from her seat to welcome them.
Tsubaki: Oh hey, you guys are here! *Sees Tione* She new?
Loki: Yup, a new recruit and a strong one at that. Level 3 from outside of Orario and still 12 years old.
Tsubaki: *Whistles* Not bad. You found a good one, eh Finn?
Finn: *Pats Tione's shoulder* She's still rather rough around the edges, but I'm sure she will become great one day.
The girl was blushing at his praise.
Finn: So, how are the orders doing?
Tsubaki: Great actually. You can expect them to be even stronger since I'm using a whole lot of high quality adamantite. I should have all of them finished in a few weeks.
Finn: That's great to hear. Fabulous work as always.
Tsubaki: Yeah yeah. On other news, are you sure you don't want any more magic weapons? I'm sure we could whip up a few extra before your big mission.
Loki: I'm sure Finn would jump at the chance to do that.
Finn: She is right.
Loki: But it's a bit out of our price range right now.
Tsubaki: Aw, too bad. Well, I'll let ya know when it's finished.
End of Flashback...
Bell: Are you sure you don't need help with that?
Zald: Haha. I can hardly feel this. I can see how a level 8 supporter might be strange, but we don't have one designated and these stones would go to waste. We should just head back to camp and rest.
Kaguya: Gladly...
Alise: *wobbling* I can already feel sleep taking me away.
Meanwhile on the surface...
Astraea and Hera were in the living room having some tea and chatting.
Astraea: I wonder how they'll do this time?
Hera: Hopefully enough for another significant boost. I think you should be ready for a bunch of status updates when they return.
Astraea: Haha. Good point. So, I've noticed something being on your mind. I'm willing to listen if you want.
Hera: It's nothing too serious. Zeus just told me that he heard from Hermes that Freya was coming back to Orario.
Astraea: Wait, wasn't she after Bell before?! Why are you so calm about this?!
Hera: What do you mean? It's just Freya. Hell, even Loki has an edge over her now that her Captain is level 7. Freya's boaz fell behind him.
Astraea: Fair enough and she was already irritated after Alfia rose to level 8.
Hera: In short: we have nothing to worry about. If she tries something with Bell, she will be dealing with me and Alfia. Actually, messing with that bith has always been fun, so I almost dare her to try. *Laughing*
Astraea: Ahaha...
With Zeus...
He was currently at an underground tavern with Hermes, who has returned from another errand.
Zeus: So, how long are we talking about here?
Hermes: Hmm, I'd say around two weeks give or take. It depends on how they travel and if they run into any trouble on the way.
Zeus: I see. I can already see the chaos that will ensue once Freya learns Bell is alive.
Hermes: Ah yes, you told me of her interest in the boy.
Zeus: Yes, well, she is only digging herself and her Familia deeper by chasing after him. Hera and Alfia have also taken great pleasure in messing with her.
Hermes: But don't you also?
Zeus: Yes, it's hilarious. I just can't help but pity her Captain and Vice Captain.
Hermes: Well, I heard Mia was planning on retiring once they returned. Word is her cooking g is something else and she plans to open a pub of her own.
Zeus: Really? I should take everyone there on opening night then. She did always enjoy Bell's company much like that boaz.
Hermes: It still boggles me how Bell and The King can be on such friendly relations.
Zeus: Being students under Zald can bring people together, I guess. I'm quite curious to see their reactions of Bell being alive. Those two are about the only Freya members Hera and I can respect.
Hermes: Yeah, there's no telling what would happen if Mia Grande wasn't there. Well, that's all I got for you. Now, how is our other project going?
Zeus: It has been making steady progress. Bell has already smitten one lovely girl.
Hermes: That doll princess from Loki? Well, not so much a doll anymore.
Zeus: True, Bell has broken her out of her prison. She acts like a somewhat normal girl now and everyone loves having her over. She's still an airhead, but there's no doubt in my mind she's head over heels for my boy.
Hermes: Interesting. And how has Bell's training been going?
Zeus: I wish it could be better. Having Hera, Alfia and Astraea together makes it nearly impossible to train him properly. I might have to wait for him to grow a bit older before we can move on to the next phase.
Hermes: There is no doubt in my mind that he will surpass all men and attain that which is most sought after.
Zeus: Yes.
Zeus and Hermes: HAREEEEM!!!
At Stardust Garden...
Hera: (I think I'll punch him when he gets home.)
Timeskip several days...
Ardi: It's our last day today, so let's make it count!
They made their way back once more, but all their instincts told them something was very wrong. Everyone held tightly to their weapons and every step closer made them shake in their boots.
Alise: I don't like this. It's way too quiet.
Kaguya: Everyone, stay on your guard.
They approached closer and soon heard the sounds of fighting. Another lizard man elite was cut down and everyone saw the great black minotaur from last time.
Alise: I-Isn't that...
Lyra: Captain?
Ryuu: Not good!
Neze: What the hell is that thing?! It's even got weapons and a set of armor!
Ardi: That's the monster Bell told us about. The one Lord Ouranos wanted him to hunt down.
Iska: Wait, isn't that thing supposed to be near level 7 or 8 in strength?
Tiona: 8?! What's that doing up here?!
Zald: Whatever it is, we shouldn't just let it go.
Asterius was finished cutting down the last monster in the room. Several other were with him as supporters to collect any monster drop and then deliver them to Fels when he came. Thankfully they had already left and it was currently just him. He took the stone and ate it before turning to see another group of adventurers. He looked at them and saw a few familiar faces before looking eyes with Bell. In their gazes, a spark was linked as if they sent and understood a message from the other. Bell drew his scythes and stood in front of everyone.
Bell: Uncle, I'll take him!!
Zald: But-
Bell: This is my job!! I may not be working for him anymore, but I still want to finish what I started!
The man looked at the boy and saw the fiery determination in his eyes.
Zald: *Sigh* Fine, but I will step in if I have to.
Bell: *Smiling* Thanks, Uncle!!
Asterius and Bell stood face to face once more. The whole floor stood still until a battle cry from each of them signaled the start of the battle.
Bell: RAAAAAAAGH!!!
Asterius: UUUUUOOOOOOOHH!!!
In a clash of power, Bell was behind, slightly, but still behind. On the other hand, Asterius would always be a step behind Bell due to the boy's superior speed. Coupled with his lightning magic, the bull would have a hard time. Asterius still carried his magic weapon, but preferred to use his giant battle axe instead. Bell ducked and weaved around it and sliced the minotaur wherever her could as well as throwing in some magic attacks if there was an opening. Of course, they were rivals for a reason and Asterius was able to easily shrug off all of those attacks.
Bell: (Looks like I'll have to wear him down and then find a way for him to escape or force a retreat on our side.)
The battle raged on for nearly 20 minutes and neither side looked to be giving any ground. The girls watched in awe at the boy at his maximum.
Tiona: Wow, he's even better than I thought!!
Tione: Isn't he three years younger than us?! How did he get this strong?!
Ais: He spent a year straight in the dungeon. Bell told us about his adventures when he got back.
Tiona: Awesome!! We should try that!!
Ais had a smile and agreed that she would like to do that. If only Riveria would agree with her.
Alise: Neither of them are getting anywhere.
Kaguya: Bell isn't dealing any significant damage and that monster isn't landing enough attacks.
Neze: It's still crazy to watch! I mean, that thing is really fast for how big it is!
Ryuu: Believe us, it was no picnic.
Alise: Yeah, we had to throw down with that thing for a while and we did not do that well to say the least.
Those who saw it for the first time couldn't help but tremble at that. Back with Bell, saw how the fight wouldn't go anywhere at this pace.
Bell: HAAAAAH!!
Clang*
He went to try and attack the neck from behind. Asterius turned and their eyes met. Bell squinted his and Asterius quickly recieved the message. With a loud roar, he grabbed the boy and threw him into the wall with a loud crash following.
Alise: BELL!!!
Shing*
Kaguya: Enough games, we have to help him!!
Neze: O-Okay!
They all drew their weapons and went to charge at the minotaur.
Ais: HYAAA!!!
Ardi: Take this!!!
Asterius easily blocked it with his forearm and then threw the girls away before Kaguya aimed a slash at his back.
Kaguya: ?!
Her blade got stopped and only managed a slight cut before the bull turned and kicked her into the wall. He knew to hold back enough to not kill them, but he couldn't afford to have so many of them fight at the same time. Tione, Ryuu and Alise went to fight while Ardi was healing herself and Ais. Neze took Tiona to Kaguya before she went to join the others.
Tiona: Are you still awake, Kisame?
Kaguya: *Coughing* Ngh! ...I'll live...
Tiona: Here!
She gave her a potion to drink which helped some of her wounds, but the battle quickly got out of control. Asterius was continuously keeping a certain number of them out of the fight which worked until he was forced to block an incoming great sword and scythe from two different sides.
Clang*
He saw Zald and Bell back in the fight and now face to face with him.
Zald: Let's see how you deal with me.
Even if Asterius was training constantly, Zald still had the upper hand and was forcing the minotaur back. After a certain point, they all saw the opening they were looking for.
Alise: NOW!!!
They all yelled and charged at the bull while Bell stood to the side and worried for his friend.
Bell: (No! What do I do?!)
While the boy was panicking, Asterius kept a blank face before smiling and grabbing his magic axe. Zald saw this and his instincts were screaming at him.
Zald: Everyone, get back!!!
Flashback...
Bell was training with Zald to see what other uses Argonaut has beyond what Bell uses it for.
Zald: I can see it is extremely versatile with you other magics. However, that charging requirement will be a massive hindrance.
Bell: I know, and that's why Mom is helping me with it.
Zald: Yes, applying the fundamentals of concurrent chanting with you skill. You said it works similar to chanting, in that you need to visualize it for the skill to take effect.
Bell: Mhm.
Zald: With all the stories you've read with the old man, I'm surprised it's still that hard for you.
Bell: I'm getting better as seeing the picture in my head and Grandpa was also helping me by making pictures.
Zald: I see.
After several days, the boy was eventually able to effectively use his skill better than before.
Zald: Very good. You've made a lot of progress in these few days.
Bell: Yeah, but I wonder what I should call this version?
Zald: Maybe, Argonaut: Quickcharge?
Bell: Yeah!!
With concentration, Bell was able to quickly make his image and then charge his skill. With this variant, the bells that ring because of his skill do so very rapidly as it charges as if someone was shaking a bell rapidly. Upside to it is he can gather a 2 minute charge in around 40 seconds. Downside is that the amount of mind wasted it immense and Bell needs more practice with it.
End of Flashback...
Bell only got around half the time he wanted, but it would be enough so that no one would be badly injured. Rapid ringing could be heard and the boy was cloaked in white light and electricity before standing in the front.
Bell: Lightning Wall
He held his arms in front of him and a barrier of lightning appeared in front of him and the others. Asterius had also worked on something similar with his weapon. The axe in his right arm crackled violently before he slammed it down and launched a wave of magic at Bell and the others. The wall Bell up didn't nullify all the force and everyone was still knocked onto the ground, leaving only Bell and Zald still standing as Asterius left the scene. Still wanting to play the act, Bell was about to chase it until Zald called him.
Zald: Bell, no!
Bell: Huh?
Zald: We've used up our potions already and that monster already went deeper into the dungeon.
Bell grit his teeth, but inside he was relieved that it worked out. Now he just had to get everyone back to the surface. On their way up, they stopped by Rivira to recover some more and talk about their experience.
Alise: I still don't get how you did that for a whole year. That was our second time and I'm still shaken.
Tiona: Yeah, that monster sure is powerful.
Lyra: Talk more if you guys want. I'm gonna get some sleep.
Ardi: *Yawn* Me too.
One by one, they grabbed their sleeping bags and went into the tents leaving the children by the fire.
Tiona: So Argonaut, what are you going to do about that monster now?
Bell: So basically, what I was thinking of was- wait, what did you call me?
Tiona: Argonaut?
Ais: Like from that story?
Tiona: *Smiling* Yeah, because you reminded me of that when you were fighting that minotaur. You were like a real hero!!
Tione: She isn't wrong; that was great.
Ais just held her hands to her chest and muttered the word "hero" to herself.
Zald: Hey, you kids should get to bed soon.
The man came out from the bushes after washing himself at a nearby spring. Tiona was insistent on staying up some more, but they still had to get moving tomorrow. They went to their tent and Bell was out once he laid down. Ais was busy putting the fire out while the others went in. When she arrived, she saw Bell passed out, but with Tiona clinging to his arm with a goofy smile on her face.
Ais: Mmmmm... *Jealous*
She quickly laid down at his other side and wrapped her arm around his waist before closing her eyes. Normally, she would have a nightmare of her childhood every now and again, but this was one of the few times where she could have happy dreams. She saw an older version of herself and Bell just laying on a tree on a quiet hill as the gentle breeze and the warm sun beat down on them. It was a peaceful moment she wished would last forever, but that would not be the case as she soon woke up with a pout at the dream ending, then a blush as she had woken up, drooling on Bell's chest.
Ais: !! *Blushing*
She sighed in relief that they were still asleep and got up to leave the tent, but not before seeing Alise peek through the entrance with a hand to her mouth and a smile on her face. As quickly as it left, her blush returned at full force as she rushed out of the tent to stop the woman.
Ais: Bis sis!!!
Alise: *Turning around* Oh, Ais. What can I do for you? *Smiling*
Ais: I-I-It w-wasn't what it looked like!! I-I-I-
Alise: Oh? Then what was all that?
Ais: *Blushing* ...
Alise: HAHAHA! Relax, I'm just teasing you!
Ais: *Pouting* You're so mean!
Alise: Sorry, it's just a new sight seeing you act like a girl in love. Hm?
She looked at the young girl and saw she stared back questioningly.
Alise: What?
Ais: A girl in love?
Alise: That's what I said.
Ais: What is that?
Alise: What's what?
Ais: Love?
The redhead put her hand to her chin as she quickly realized she would be having "that" talk now.
Alise: Hm, let's see. I'm not sure exactly to put it, but I'll try to keep it simple.
Ais: *Nodding*
Alise: First, you like spending time with Bell, right?
Ais: Y-Yes...
Alise: And he is on your mind a lot.
The girl nodded again and the blush came back.
Alise: When you think about him, how do you feel?
Ais: Um...
She pictured the boy smiling at her in her mind again and as soon as she did, her face grew even redder and her heart raced faster than before.
Ais: I-I feel weird and my chest starts pounding.
Alise: *Smiling* Well, I'm no expert, but I'd say that's love.
Ais: It is?
Alise: Yup, and that's what you feel for him.
Ais thought about it and felt slightly better now that she could put a name to what she was feeling.
Alise: I'd still probably have a talk with Riveria, though. She might know more than me.
Ais: O-Okay, thank you.
Alise smiled and patted her head.
Alise: Anytime, Ais.
Ais remembered that Riveria wanted her to wait before having the talk, but the girl was curious about what love was after discovering it for herself for the first time. Upon returning to her tent, she was able to catch Tione outside helping Zald with breakfast as well as Tiona dragging Bell out by his hand causing Ais to pout again. Off to the side, Alise had returned and saw how the girl was reacting.
Alise: (Oh boy, Ais is gonna have a hard time with her.)
They group had a quick meal before continuing their trip back up to the surface. When they did, Zald had their earnings cashed in after emptying the massive bag of its stones. The clerk on the other side was stunned at the sheer amount that was handed to him and the total came to about 70 million after splitting it. After that, Alise split off with the Loki girls, but not before they said goodbye to everyone, specifically Ais and Tiona saying goodbye to Bell. The rest of them returned home after nearly two weeks in the dungeon.
Bell: We're back!!
Though looking slightly battered in their armor, they were all welcomed with smiles.
Hera: Wow, you all looked like you got run over by a monster party.
Ardi: Ehehe.
Astraea: It's good to have you all back. You can all get yourselves cleaned and I to fresh clothes before dinner.
Kaguya: To the bath!!!
The girls all ran to the bath with Bell following before Zald got out of his adventurer gear.
Hera: You won't go as well?
Zald: Later. Now, where is the old man?
Hera: Out spying with Hermes no doubt.
Zald: *sigh* I'll just wait for him then.
Hera: Did something happen?
Zald: I just need a word with him.
With Ais...
Tiona: Thanks for taking us back home!
Alise: *Smiling* My pleasure! I'll see you girls another time and tell the three I said hi.
Ais: We will.
She waved the kids goodbye and left as they walked inside to see Riveria in the main lobby.
Riveria: You're back.
Tiona: And in top condition!
Riveria: What's with the cart outside?
The three turned and looked at the massive cart they hauled on their way back. The guards had their eyes nearly pop from their sockets after seeing the amount of valis inside.
Tione: U-Um...
Tiona: You can call the Captain. Come on, Ais.
She grabbed her hand and the two ran to where the bathing room was to clean themselves. Riveria quickly brought Finn outside and the prum was shocked to see the cart too.
Finn: What's all that?
Tione: *Fidgeting* U-Um, it's our split earnings from our trip to the dungeon.
Riveria: And you want us to use it?
Tione: *Nodding* The Captain said he could use extra for the mission so I thought...
The prum just looked at her and smiled.
Finn: Tione, I didn't mean you all should go and make it yourselves. Even with this, you three should keep some for yourselves.
Riveria: I don't know about that. Apart from maintaining their gear, Tiona would spend hers on story books and Ais would spend it on potato snacks.
Finn: *Sweatdrop* Y-You're right. Even so, they all earned in themselves. I couldn't take it from them.
Riveria: I think a few million for both of them will be fine. I'll watch to make sure they don't try anything stupid, but Tione insists that you use it for the Familia.
Finn: Tione?
She had a blush on her face, but managed a nod which made Finn sigh.
Finn: I still don't feel right for doing this, but this does help put my mind at ease for the expedition. *Pats Tione's head* Thank you, Tione. This was a big help.
He gave a smile that made her heart thunder out of her chest.
Tione: Y-YOU'RE WELCOME, CAPTAIN!!!
Finn then went outside to help the others deal with the cart while Riveria and Tione had their talk.
Riveria: I'm sure Ais and Tiona wouldn't mind that much. Though, I think Finn is quite happen about this turn of events.
Tione: You think so?
Riveria: I do. Now, you go join those two and wash up.
Tione: Right!
The amazon ran up the stairs and threw her fist to the air while celebrating. Everyone was making steady progress, but a few were trying for more than just power.
Somewhere outside Orario...
There were two people riding on a horse as the sun began to set. Both were cloak, but their features were still visible. The tall one was a woman with some strands of black hair being visible from under her hood. The one in front of her was shorter with red hair and light blue eyes and he was guiding the horse.
???: Are you sure we weren't going to be followed, Lady Phobos?
Phobos: You doubt me, Welf? Please, my plan was fool proof.
In Rakia...
Ares: You're saying that Crozzo child is able to forge magic swords even better than yours, Will?
Will: That's correct. You, fetch my son!
The soldier next to him did as asked and returned after a few short minutes.
Rakia Soldier A: He isn't there, sir. All we found in his bed was a cantaloupe with some red paint on it.
Will: You mean my son is missing?!
Another soldier rushed into the meeting room with Ares and Will.
Rakia Soldier B: Sir, we've received reports that Lady Phobos has fled.
Ares: She's gone?!
Will: My son who could possible revive our kingdom is missing as well?
Rakia Soldier: Yes.
Ares: FUCK!!!
AN: And cut. The plot thickens once more. Things in Orario are only going to get more interesting from here.
Thanks again for reading.I hope you enjoyed. Let me know your thoughts and I will see you in the next one.
