Chapter 3: A bit of training

*Outside Babel, Bell's Pov*

Marie: "We should go inside the dungeon for a bit, I want to check it out." Marie looked excited on the inside but, she is probably trembling on the inside.

Bell: "Hmmm… Sure why not, But we'll stick to the first 3 floors." Let's see what she's got. 'Depending on how she handles things I might have to intervene.

*Dungeon, 1st Floor, Bell Pov*

'Hmm I think I'll let her handle most of the monsters today.'

Bell: "Okay Marie, I will let you handle most of the monsters on this floor. I will only intervene when you're in trouble, Understand." Marie looked at Bell confused.

Marie: "But you're also Level 1, don't you also need to fight first hand?."

'I am a little rusty, but rust can always shine again.'

Bell: "I have actual combat training and you don't its best if you experience fighting for the first time, it will also let me know what you're capable of."

Marie: "O-Okay" Marie was terrified at the idea of fighting alone.

Bell: "Now let's get started, we may be on the easiest floor but that doesn't mean let you guard down, the dungeon is full of irregularities and anything can happen." When I was finished talking to Marie I spotted a goblin in the distance.

Bell: "Let's start with that goblin right there." I pointed in the direction and Marie followed where my finger was pointed.

A goblin had come around the corner and saw Marie, It charged her and she dodged its attack with ease. She swiftly moved to the left and swung her Wakizashi with one hand. *Puff* ash fell and a purple gem fell to the ground.

*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*

Bell: Nice job but remember, to not get distracted." In that moment Marie and Bell heard a women's voice inside their head

?: "Behind you." It said it in the most mystifying and elegant way.

As Marie looked behind her a club was heading towards her, she was startled by the object getting closer and fell on her butt and closed her eyes, and just as it was about to hit her Bell intervened and killed it.

Marie: "Beeeeellllll, that was really close" Marie pouted.

I chuckled at her

Bell: "I know but you need to learn to observe your surroundings, anyways I think this is enough, lets head back home, if we were to arrive late Hestia Might be mad."

As we were heading back home, I looked back and wondered 'What was that voice', I was really curious to know what the voice was until I was snapped out of my thoughts.

Marie: "Bell are you coming?." I looked at her and smiled.

Bell: "Yeah… I was just thinking about something." I started to walk again.

*Abandon Church, No Pov*

Hestia: "Welcome back guys, so how was your day" Hestia had seen how dirty Marie was and wondered why she was dirty.

Bell: "It was good, we went to the dungeon and I wanted to test her abilities." Bell said pointing at Marie.

Marie: "Yeah and you almost let me get hit, Hmph." Bell just chuckled lightly.

Bell: "Yeah but you needed to learn to observe your surroundings." Bell had pointed that out to Marie more than once already.

Hestia: "Are you hurt?, are you okay?, are you bleeding anywhere? … Bell How could you." Bell couldn't tell if she was serious or was just playing around. But Marie decided to join in.

Marie: "Yeah Bell, how could you." She said teasing him; Bell just rolled his eyes and started coming up with an idea.

Bell: "Not to worry, I plan to help Marie in the basics of combat later." Marie looked at Bell while she was pale, and Bell had a big grin on his face.

Hestia: "That's a nice idea, when do you plan to train her?."

Bell: "Hmmm… How about tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. Are you going to be up by then or are you going to need a glass of water in the morning." Bell smiled at her.

Marie: "Nononono, I will be up bright and early there is no need to use water." Marie was flustered

Hestia: "What does he mean Marie?, What did he do to you."

Marie: "No-Nothing, he didn't do anything, it's just that when I don't wake up to his wake up calls he pours a little bit of water on me." She said timidly

Hestia started to glare at Bell.

Hestia: "That's not nice Bell you're being a bully to Marie."

Bell: "Wha-what no I'm, anyway are we going to go out because I'm starving."

Hestia: "Ah, I forgot, yes let's get going."

As the trio walked around for about a half an hour they spotted a place, 'The Hostess of Fertility.'

Marie: "This place seems cheery let's go in." As everyone went in they were greeted by a bluish silver haired girl in a green maid's uniform.

Syr: "Ah, welcome!, How many?."

Hestia: "three please."

Syr: "Three coming in… Okay follow me."

As the three were seated they were given a menu, when they looked inside the saw how heavy the prices were.

Bell: "I'll have pasta and water please."

'The cheapest item' the waiter thought.

Marie: "I will have the same as him."

'Again'

Hestia: "I'll have steak and potatoes with ale."

Bell and Marie: "Guh." Bell and Marie were hit hard because of the price.

'Something pricey, I like it' the girl in the maid uniform smiled.

Syr: "Coming right up." She smiled while walking away.

Marie: "Really Goddess?." Marie was a little upset.

Hestia: "What? We're here to celebrate and enjoy ourselves."

*15 Minutes Later*

Syr: "Here you are, and enjoy." The three smiled and started to enjoy the night.

The night just began, laughing, smiling, and enjoyment. It was getting late and they paid then left. On their way out Hestia bumped into someone.

Hestia: "Huh… Sor-ah, Loki." Hestia bumped into someone she didn't want to see.

Loki: "Shrimp?, what are you doing here?."

Marie: "Um, Goddess who is this?."

Hestia: "Ah this is Loki, the flat chested Goddess of the Loki familia."

Loki: "What are you talking about you poor shrimp?, huh?, Goddess?, You got yourself children?." Loki started looking at the children; they both had white hair and unique eyes. As she kept observing the two she was almost drawn to the girl, she had a certain charm to her and Loki couldn't quite place it.

Loki: "You two almost look related, but I can't quite put it but I can tell you aren't related."

Bell and Marie: "Huh." A lot of the time they get mistaken for being siblings this was a first for the both of them. Loki continued to stare but then decided to let up.

Loki: "Hmmm… That's cool and all but they don't compare to my familia." She smiled proudly.

Hestia: "What did you say?." Hestia started to flare up but Bell decided to speak up.

Bell: "Hestia, we should get going its getting late." Bell said plainly.

Hestia: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear you Bell, we don't need to spend time with her. Let's go."

As the Hestia walked away a small golden haired prum walked up to Loki.

Finn: "Who was that?."

Loki: "She's a nobody, don't mind her, But I am curious about her children." Loki began to think about the children, 'Something felt off about those two'.

Loki: "hm, well pay it no mind, the night is still young and let's get going." As the Loki familia was just about to walk inside Loki noticed how Ais was in deep thought.

Ais: "Hmmm."

Loki: "What's wrong Ais?." Everyone turned to look at her.

Ais: "It's nothing." Ais didn't want to say what she was thinking in front of everyone, but she felt something had been off about the two, she didn't know what it was but it was something comforting, for some reason those two felt nice to be around.

Loki: "Well then let's go."

Ais had been brought out of her thoughts and decided to look in the direction where the Hestia familia walked.

*The Next Morning*

Bell: "Ready to go again." Marie was on the ground beaten up while looking at the sky.

Marie: "Ca-can I get a-a break, fighting you hurts, and it exhausting."

Bell: "I know I went through the same type of training, now let's go one more time, then we can take a break."

Marie: "Alright." Was a little dejected but she decided not to give up yet.

Bell had been doing a hit and run strategy on her, it was to try and get her to focus on something that's not in front of her, and he was hitting her from every direction and trying to get her awareness up.

*Clash* *Clash* *Thump*

Marie was on the ground again and was tired.

Bell: "You're getting a little bit better." Bell sheathed his daggers and extended his hands out to Marie.

Bell: "Let's take a break." Marie grabbed his hand and got up.

Marie: "Best thing you said all morning."

Bell had taken a sip of water and he noticed that Marie didn't have any water with her.

Bell: "Here." He handed Marie the water, to which she didn't hesitate to grab because she was thirsty.

Marie: "Thanks." Marie took a sip and forgot to wipe the nozzle, she noticed this immediately and turned as red as a tomato, she also looked away from Bell. Bell had seen this and he couldn't help himself and started to laugh.

Bell: "Hahahaha." The reaction she had made was priceless and that's why he started to laugh. But Marie was annoyed that Bell was laughing.

Marie: "It's not funny." Marie pouted which made Bell laugh harder.

Bell: "It kinda is….Pfft, hahaha." Seeing her like this was extremely funny to bell.

Marie started to glare at Bell.

Bell: "Okay, Okay let's go again."

*Twilight Manor, Ais Pov*

'Something felt different but also similar about those two, maybe I should talk to Loki about them.' In perfect timing Loki showed up.

Loki: "What's got you all tied up?." Loki had appeared next to Ais.

Ais: "Something has been bothering me about last night's encounter."

Loki: "hmm… How so?."

Ais: "That little Goddess's children, the two with the white hair, something feels off about them but it feels familiar and I can't quite place it."

Loki: "Hmm, what about them feels off?." Loki was curious to what Ais thought about them.

Ais: "I don't know, the girl doesn't feel natural and the boy also feels the same but a little more so."

Loki: "I must admit that they do intrigue me but that's about it, I don't believe it's anything to get so worked up about if anything you should be worrying about our expedition tomorrow, not someone's else's children from a familia you don't know."

'She's right I need to get ready for tomorrow."

Ais: "Okay, I'll go prepare for tomorrow."

Loki: "That's my Aizu." Loki tried to grope her but fell flat on her face.

Ais had gotten up to prepare but that was just a distraction of how she was truly feeling.

A/N: Ayyyy, another chapter?. Yes!. Now this chapter, I had planned for it to be a bit longer than usual, but I noticed in my draft a big error and I have to rewrite a chapter or two, and to be honest that's one of the reasons why I lost motivation, But now that I have a little more motivation, I felt pumped and it felt like I had to write some more.

I am currently thinking of writing another story, but I probably won't post it until one of my current stories finishes up. But here's a little PV

Danmachi: A Journey's End, Is a New Journey

Death had awaited the pair, Bell was currently dying on the 37th floor alongside Ryu, and they both had heard the howls of monsters in the distance; they both knew their end was coming. As they were Laying there a cloaked figure walked up and asked both of them a question

?: "Does thou seek another chance?." The voice had said in a raspy voice.

?: "Does thou seek another chance at life?." The two could barely move but they looked at each other and nodded.

?: "Thy shall grant thine wish." They were mystified at the cloaked figure. The cloaked figure snapped his fingers and both Bell and Ryu started to glow white.

?: "Thou shall be sent 7 years in the past." They were confused as the light swallowed them up.

The End.

Now this is a rough pv and it might not stay the same. But thank you for reading and now I'm signing off.
