Chapter 12
Bell hadn't slept good in a while. Even though it's only been 1 month since he gotten to sleep on a decent bed. He still didn't mind it either way.
'Better than a cave.' He always tells himself.
He gotten up and took a shower, brushed his teeth, and dried his hair. As he was looking himself in the mirror he couldn't help but look at the countless of scars on his body. The most obvious one was the one near his neck. From his right side of his neck all the way to his left. He didn't mind these scars at all though. Just a part of his life.
He dressed himself in the clothes Jeanne has gotten for him. White shirt, black jacket, pants, and brown boots. He was about to leave his rented room but forgot something else. His scarf.
He wrapped his scarf around his neck and checked again if he had everything. He then opened the door hoping that he'll be able to find Ais and hoping.… she hasn't failed her promise to Aria.
He walked out of the pub right after he said morning to the workers at the pub. He looked at his right and left and could see people walking by having a normal life. He shook his head, already getting distracted. He went to his right and was walking down a random path, seeing more people. As he kept walking straight he for some reason felt someone on his back.… a pair of two eyes
He turned his head back only to see nobody looking, talking to themselves or with their friends. He then felt the gaze on him with a bit more emotion, almost like.… obsession…
He didn't like that
So he closed his eyes and kept walking straight. He let the gaze stay on him, letting him use his 5 senses to try to find where it's coming from.
Sooner than expected he found its location.
Freya woke up a bit early today for the one and only reason.
To find him
She ordered her glass of wine from Ottarl. Ottarl didn't take less then a minute to retrieve it for her. As he was walking up close to her she could see a slight difference in his soul. She quirked an eyebrow. 'How did this happen?' But soon remembered it happened yesterday when they saw him end those ugly plant monsters.
At first when she saw the situation the Loki familia was in she was going to at least let Allen jump in but just like all of them watching the unpredictable event occur. They felt his bloodlust. She has felt bloodlust before and is never fazed by it. Not even when gods start to send all their hatred towards her back in heaven. Not only is she a goddess of beauty but she's also a goddess of war. So she too can release bloodlust when she wants and can scare the life out somebody. Heck! Even Ottarl is scared of her wrath!
However when this being released his bloodlust… she for the first time in centuries felt..… scared
This bloodlust was filled with so much hatred, anger, rage. She can describe it like a volcano is about to erupt and release hell upon the area. A furious dragon from deep below from the dungeon about to release its most mightiest and powerful fire breath towards its enemy. It was almost like..…
So just like her captain and vice captain of her familia, she needed to know where this is coming from. When they found the him they were in clear shock. He was gritting his teeth, clenching his fist, and his hair was spiking up. Black flames was covering his foot and fists.
She peeked at his soul but to her surprise..… she couldn't..… or more like she can't.…
.
.
.
Unknown to her and Bell..… the dragon made sure that Bell would never fall into a goddess or gods charm, so that he will only stay at his command
.
.
.
All that blood he gave him wasn't only for strength
.
.
.
It gave him some attributes he has as well
.
.
.
She thought that she didn't try hard enough so she tried again but she couldn't, monsters that were released from the coliseum came over to there area causing Ottarl and Allen to be on guard for her.
Not giving her the time to see.… his horrendous soul
.
.
.
.
She found him walking in the streets close by the Hostess of Fertility. She couldn't tell what he was thinking of because of not able to look into his soul and the plastered emotionless face he had on. It reminded her of the 'Sword Princess.' She decided to watch over him and see what he'll do. After a few minutes she saw him close his eyes while walking straight. She and Ottarl raised a brow. A minute later he opened his eyes and soon looked at their direction.
He looked directly at Freya purple eyes. Both of them looking into each other. One was getting weirdly aroused and the other a bit irritated. He then moved his gaze over to her left where Ottarl is currently standing.
Bell stopped walking when he saw him. He and him were staring down at each other. Both of their eyes were sharp and fierce. Both of them didn't dare to move. Bell could already feel he'll be the one to push his limits if he's ever in his way. He could tell he isn't a weakling despite his friendly like appearance.
Both of them had enough of staring at each other and went their ways. Bell made a mental note to watch out for a strong muscular 6 foot 11 boaz man in far future..…
.
.

.

Freya had witnessed Ottarl souls bright by the second they were staring down at each other. She thought this was all a dream..… she saw Ottarl smirk. She hasn't seen that in a while. Last time she saw that was when he reached level 7 and was able to defeat Allen and all the executives with a bit and no little effort.
She had dumbfounded expression on her face when she saw the smirk and the fire in his soul disappear when they both moved on their way. Once seeing this she instantly turned around and looked back to find him but unfortunately he was gone.
"No fair!" She complained like a kid not getting attention. Ottarl knowing why only sweat dropped and hoped that he'll pay more attention to his goddess. If not he'll have to deal with this almost every encounter they make. She turned her head around to see Ottarl, pouting at him. Ottarl looked away not wanting to face her.
Bell had finally found the Guild, the place that 'runs' over Orario. As he walked in he could see many adventurers in a line waiting for their turn to talk to..… people? He tilted his head in confusion until he remembered his talk with her back a few months ago...
He got in line waiting for his turn to finally get into a familia. Once it was his turn he glanced back to see if there's anyone waiting for their turn but fortunately there wasn't. He sighed in relief, knowing this will be long and not wanting to anger anyone for taking his time.
In front of him was a half elf women. She had brown hair and green eyes with glasses on. He could tell she was half elf due to her short pointed ears. Real full blood elf's have long and pointed ones.
"Hi, how could I help you today." She asked in a kind manner.
"I would like to join a familia but I'm afraid I don't know how." He said in his usual emotionless voice.
She was a bit shocked that a young boy like him wanted to become and adventurer. But nevertheless she helped him how to become one.
"Well if your wanting to become a new adventurer and want to join a familia you'll have to go to one and ask to join them." She concluded.
"Oh ok. But do you know who I could go to?" He titled his head asking him. 'Cute.' She thought.
"You could go to the low class familia's. They could accept you to join them. I doubt the high tier familias would." She said sadly. He nodded and asked
"Could I have a map to Orario. I.… (scratch's cheek) sorta lost mine." He said a bit embarrassed even though he still didn't show emotion to his face. She giggled at his request. She gave him a better map then he had before.
"Thank you. I'll come back if I join a familia." He did a low bow and left her there wondering what familia he'll join.
She hoped that he'll be able to join a good and decent familia if not.… he'll be in trouble in the dungeon and she didn't want that. She has seen young adventurers like him not able to return to the dungeon just because it wasn't serious.
A couple hours has passed and Bell is currently sitting on a bench while having his arms crossed. His scarf was covering the frown he had on his face.
"They won't let me join just because I DON'T look like an adventurer." He said to himself. Frustrated.
Out of all the familia receptionist the one he didn't like the most was the people from Soma and Apollo familia. If anything those two don't deserve to be in a familia.
He ran a hand along his hair already having a headache to all of this. He looked at this list he made and the two familia's he had left was Loki and Freya familia. Loki familia was closer to him so he got up and went to there direction first.

"Have they found him yet?" Finn asked Raul his second to command for his low level familia members. Sadly for him they didn't find him."We looked everywhere and couldn't find him. Are you sure he's not someone you mistake captain?" Raul asked nicely and bit nervously. Scared that he may have made Finn mad. Questioning and telling him that's he's wrong. He earned a light chuckle from Finn.
"Yes I am not mistaken. Don't be scared to ask questions like that Raul, it's good to make sure your captain is not going crazy." He gave Raul a small smile and a thumbs up to him. Already knowing why he asked that question. Raul was relieved that he didn't get to Finn's bad side.
They both herd a knock on the door. "Come in!" Finn said. The person who opened the door was non other than Tione.
"Hey captain~ I brought you some food!" She said. Finn only laughed nervously and didn't have a choice but to eat the food she had brought for him. Raul snickered at Finn. He was tippy toeing his way out of his office however
"Captain didn't say you could leave Raul." Tione said darkly even though she had a happy and cheerful expression when she's up close to Finn.
Raul instantly went back to his previous spot.
"Y-Yes sir! I m-mean M-Ma'am!" He said as he saluted to them. Finn sweat dropped, feeling pity for him. Since the door was left open Bete had came in without knocking.
"(yawn) What's with all the damn ruckus. It's still morning." He said annoyed. He was drunk last night and had a blackout like usual. Tione groaned in annoyance having her fun time with her captain, ruined by a drunken wolf.
"Can you go away please. I starting to stink captain's office." Her voice was very rude. It didn't had a single kind of gentle feeling to it like moments ago. Bete annoyance turned to anger. His wolf eyes turned into slits ready to fight.
"Can't you tell captain doesn't want you? (she stops what she's doing) If I were you I would leave his office." He said slowly.
All of them herd Tione cracking her knuckles. Finn wanted this to stop but it never stops with talking. So he sighed and just let the upcoming fight happen and WILL step in once it's out of hand or it's declared a winner.
Bete got into a low stance ready to jump out the window and carry the fight outside.
"Why don't you make me B.E.T.E." She and Bete were glaring at each other.
Raul stayed silent and did not want to say one word. If he did he's pretty sure he would end up in a wall then would be in the infirmary for at least a day or two.
The fight between Bete and Tione started when Bete said the few word she hates.
"Psychopathic bitch."
Instantly Bete ran to the window and went to the training yard outside, Tione went after Bete by breaking a hole from Finn's office. Not going to the window Bete broke.
Finn and Raul just looked at the 'new' exits they both made. Finn sighed and muttered
"Why didn't you go through the window Tione.…"
Bete was mid air before he crash landed on the ground by Tione. She had caught his tail and 360 him, sending him to the ground, hard.
Bete didn't like that, he got up and dashed at Tione. "GRAW!" He growled
Bete sent a fist to her chest but was blocked by Tione forearm. She went low and sweep kicked him. He was caught off guard by the sweep kick and landed on his back. She stood up and sent her foot down to ground hitting his chest. Bete held her foot in place and tripped her.
Everyone that was outside stopped what they were doing and watched the brawl between Bete and Tione happen. Ais, Tiona, and Lefiya were outside talking until they saw the fight happen again.
"(sighs) Can't Bete just leave her alone for one second." Tiona
"Do you think there fighting because of Finn again?" Lefiya
"Yes. (points behind her) That's where they came from." Ais
Tione and Bete were wrestling with each other until Bete leaped back and then rushed forward again. Tione punched Bete right in the face while she got hit in the ribs. She took the punch he sent head on. Bete also took her hit. He hit her with an uppercut then followed with a kick to her side to which she caught. She was about to do a submissive move but was caught off guard when he twirled around and was able to kick her in the face. It hurt his leg though since it didn't follow the rest of his body movements. Tione wiped the blood off her lips and growled at him before launching heavy hits on him.
Unknown to everyone watching there was another witness from a far watching the battle go on. He was confused at first but came to a conclusion that they might be training. So he decided to watch as well until he saw a prum, elf, and a dwarf arive to the scene.
"Alright that's enough. Both of you!" The emerald haired elf demanded
"Listen to what she says before ya get blasted by her." The dwarf said not interested by the sounds of it
"Tione please don't make me step in." The prum pleaded but with a little stern in his voice.
Sadly it didn't get notice by the two fighters. Both of them back off with each other but al lass they weren't finished yet. Finn seeing this was about to step in but was too late since Bete and Tione rushed to each other one last time to send a ferocious and violent punch to each other faces. Some of them closed their eyes or looked away. Him seeing them not listen to what appears to be their captain decided to step in for him.
""HAAAA!!!!"" Tione and Bete punches were almost close to each other faces until.… everyone saw a white blur fast as lightning come into their view.
Tione and Bete punches were caught by a person who to them didn't know at first until they see his appearance in full view.
Tione, Tiona, Ais, Lefiya, Riveria, Gareth, and Finn widened their eyes at the view they were looking at. In the middle between Bete and Tione fists was a white haired boy with ruby eyes, catching the fist of The 'Vanagrand' and 'Jormungand' with both of his palms. To everyone's surprise he isn't bothered by the force of it.
"If your captain or whoever your superior says to stop then stop." He says with his eyes closing.
AN:
Don't know if this is an epic entrance or not. Eh either way fuck it I'll go with this. Looks like Bell has finally made it to the Loki familia manor. Will he be able to join? Or will he be rejected like the other familia's? Who knows. We'll see in the next chapter.
Sorry if it wasn't what you guys wanted. So please forgive me. Also sorry for the tease (nervous laugh)
Anyways that's all I got to say. If there is any grammar mistakes let me know in the review section and I'll try to fix it as soon as I can.
How was the chapter for you? Good? Bad? Horrible? Great? Who knows only you guys know. Now see you guys next time and peace! :-)
