"And this is why I want to accompany Ms. Riveria on her journey."
The Hestia alliance sat in the big living room of the Mansion and listened to what Bell had told them right after breakfast.
"This is the only way to cure Ms. Aina?"
"According to Ms. Riveria, yes."
Everyone looked serious, this was no laughing matter.
"Godde-"
"Don´t ask if I let you go, of course you can." Hestia wished away his question with her hand.
"Thank you!"
"Not for that Bell, this is a dire situation. How long will you two be gone?"
"Ms. Riveria said a few weeks, I don´t know the exact time."
"A few weeks...uff."
"D-Do you need more company?"
Haruhime looked...hopeful.
"I´m sorry, Ms. Riveria told me that the elves won´t let many people into their forests. When I travel with her they will let me in according to her, but no one else.
"Oh..." Her ears and tail dropped.
Ever since she read the stories, Haruhime wanted to visit an elven forest at least once, see the magical world there with her own eyes.
"I will come back to you all, I promise." He smiled.
"I just wonder..." Hestia looked like she was in thoughts. "What will happen..."
"Goddess?"
"I mean, when you left the city for a while with an elf for the first time...with little Ryu...you two came back with a goddess...as a couple. The second time when you left with little Lefiya...you two also came back as a couple.
At the third time...with little Ryu again...you two came back married...and she was pregnant. And now you leave with an elf again..."
"I-It isn´t like that..."
The women present all raised an eyebrow and looked at him...with one exception.
"Ah leader, you sure? I mean that elf surely is something, she would be perfect for you! I´m sure you two would have lots of strong babies!"
Lena wasn´t really what someone would call...sensitive.
The talk went faster and easier than Bell had thought, everyone helped him to prepare for the journey. Nahza and Miach produced a few potions, just in case they would be needed. Lily lend Bell one of her giant backpacks and helped him to pack it correctly, also she explained to him how he should move around with it.
Bell thought for a while about the equipment he would take with him. Olympus was out of question, it looked too much like a magic sword and elves hated those. Hakugen also could be a problem since it was made from unicorn horn, unicorn monsters in the dungeon were different from free living unicorns, but Bell didn´t wanted to anger anyone.
So what he had left were the Hestia Knife...which he would never leave behind...and Fairy´s Dawn. The sword was made out of a mixture of pure adamantium and the horn of the Wolpertinger, which Bell beat in a duell and cut of his antlers. The antlers grew slowly back so he had heard. A sword and a Knife were a good combination for him.
Bell had trained a long time to fight with a single Knife, sword and knife or just a sword. He would take his light armor with him and everything that fit in the backpack.
After he had prepared his part, Bell went to the guild, carrying a letter with Hestia´s sigil with him. He still needed permission from the guild to leave the city for so long, and just hoped it would work.
.
"Aprroved, here is your permission."
The female guild employee was an incredible beauty, she had long red hair and golden eyes. Out of her hair poked two equally red wolf ears with white fur inside them, on her backside was a long tail.
She was a were wolf, named Rose Fannet.
"Just like that?"
"Yes, the circumstances allow an immediate permission. Since you go on a mission to help one of our employees."
The normally so serious woman showed him the tiniest hint of a smile. Eina was well liked at the guild and it seemed to be known what happened with her mother.
"How is Ms. Eina now?"
"That I don´t know, I´m sorry."
There was no one else that Bell could ask, Eina´s best friend Misha wasn´t here and he had to hurry.
"Would you be so nice and give her a message from me when she comes back? I don´t have much time."
"Of course."
She handed him a sheet of paper and a pen, waiting for him to finish the letter. Without looking at the contents of the letter, Rose folded the letter and put it under the counter. Bell thanked her a last time and left, it was rare to see an armed adventurer going away from the dungeon after they came to the guild.
But Bell really had to hurry, at noon he would meet Riveria at the eastern gate and he still had to visit one more destination and his home again.
.
.
"Bell...chuuu...chuuuu..."
It was hard to escape Syr´s arms, when she heard that Bell would leave Orario for weeks she looked so sad...now she needed hugs and kisses to calm down again. The pub wasn´t opened yet, which was a good thing. The other employees pretended to not notice the scene before them. Bell and Syr were near to the stairs and a very red Ryu waited a few meters away.
"Syr...I have to hurry..."
"Bell...weeks...so long...*sniff*"
"I will come back to you all, I promise."
Syr glanced up to him with her puppy eyes, Ryu had to gulp, that look would make everyone weak.
"Promise?"
"Of course."
Syr looked to Ryu, then to Bell again. "You have to be back in time! You can´t let Ryu become a Mama alone!"
"S-Syr!" Ryu looked flustered.
"I mean it! Now you two talk to each other, I will go and help Mama Mia in the kitchen!"
A few employees startled by that words, Lunor and Chloe catched Syr before she could reach the kitchen and tried to lure her away.
"Why does everyone tries to stop me from cooking for you...mou..."
Bell and Ryu couldn´t help but smile.
"Ryu...I..."
"Shh...It´s okay...I..." She smiled and placed a hand on her stomach. "We will wait for you..."
She whispered a last word so that only he would hear it. "Papa..."
Bell smiled lovingly and gently took her hands, one on her stomach. Both shared a long, loving kiss, the fingers of their hands on her stomach entangled.
Wishing the women he loved goodbye for a while was hard for both sides. Eventually Bell managed to get into the kitchen, two people awaited him.
"Nyite hair!" Ahnya smiled happily with twitching ears.
"Ah boy finally, done with kissing my staff?"
"I´m sorry Ms. Mia."
"Ha...Syr...Ryu...Ahnya...My store isn´t your hunting ground you know?"
"Nyou forgot Chloe, Meow! Meow see how she looks at him."
"Shut up dumb cat, Nya!" Chloe´s voice came from the outside.
"Oh and Lunor of course, Meow!" Ahnya grinned carefree.
"You pay for that, Ahnya!" Another voice from the main room...
It wasn´t that wrong that Chloe and Lunor liked Bell...and vice versa, this young man had much love in his heart and his mindset was that every woman deserved to be loved.
"Okay I have work to do, let´s get over it, then you have time to wish Ahnya goodbye...outside!"
Bell put the giant backpack on a table in the kitchen of the pub and started to pack everything inside. It had started when he went on a journey with Ryu, that Bell took food from the Benevolent Mistress with him.
This time it would be enough for a week and he didn´t cared about the cost. Mama Mia had prepared cheese, a few eggs in a special wrapping, flour and all kinds of things, together with notes how to make the food.
There were especially many seeds and vegetables, elves didn´t generally disliked meat, but Riveria didn´t ate much of it.
"So boy, here is your "Travel with an elf" food set for one week." Mia grinned.
She got the idea after Bell´s first and second journey, she had demanded from him to take food from her with him since he would "elope with one of her staff girls". Now Mia´s "Travel Food sets" were a big thing in Orario, while expensive and not meant for a very long journey, many bought her food to have something fine to eat on the road in the first week. Most adventurers that traveled to fulfill quests and jobs didn´t got really good food, when they had to camp in dangerous territory, they couldn´t even make a fire and had to eat cold.
A shop that sold small magic items got the right idea for that and produced small heating plates that were powered by a magic stone. Those were also a bit expensive, but it was a surprise how much adventurers would spend on these things to have something good to eat.
The heating plate got another variant with just a stone that would become really warm, many women liked to heat their blanket before going to sleep...not everyone had the luxury of a partner to cuddle with under the blanket.
"Ms. Mia, thank you so much for preparing it so fast."
"Ah it´s okay, just make sure you return before the girls here get heartbroken...and of course before Ryu has to stop working because of her belly. You surely will take responsibility and jump in when she has to stop work...right?"
"O-Of course!"
Mia really wanted to make sure that Bell would treat her girls nicely...she was always worried about them even if she didn´t showed it. When the backpack was finally filled, Mia handed Bell a pan and a pot, both with handles, he would bind them on the outside of the backpack.
Being a high leveled adventurer had it´s benefits, the backpack was bigger than Bell´s upper body and weighed more than his whole body.
"Make sure you two come and eat here when you return, gonna miss her."
Riveria was one of Mia´s favorite customers, since she kept her Familia in check when they were here, especially her perveted goddess.
"I will tell Ms. Riveria."
"Good, now go we have to work...yes Ahnya go with him for a moment."
Ahnya´s ears and tail twitched happily, she went with him outside and closed the door. She was smaller than Bell, so Ahnya got up to her tiptoes, closed her eyes and waited. Bell put his hands on her shoulders and gave her a gentle kiss, Ahnya didn´t sighed into the kiss...she purred.
"Meow..."
She meowed a bit when they separated, then she pulled him to her and kissed him again, more hungry this time. Ahnya was very open with her feelings towards Bell and had no problem to kiss him in public...and she would really miss him in these weeks.
"Ahnya..."
"Bell...I..." Sometimes she called him Bell, sometimes White hair.
"Hm?"
She only whispered her next words...in a very lovely way. "Bring meow some elven snacks, okay meow?"
"Ehe...of course."
"Yuhu!"
Ahnya was always honest about what she wanted. Strangely, sometimes when Bell and Ahnya kissed...he felt something like a murderous glare on him...as if that wanted to warn him to never harm her...he got the same feeling sometimes with Syr.
Never showing it to her...Ahnya´s older brother often kept an eye on her.
.
.
In the morning she was a last time in the hospital.
She had silently entered Aina´s room, Eina sat on a chair next to the bed of her mother and had her arms crossed on the mattress, the head resting on her arms, sleeping. Aina was awake but looked very weak, she smiled tiredly when Riveria entered the room.
"Hey...little...sister..." Aina whispered to not wake up her daughter.
"Aina...how are you feeling?" Riveria whispered too.
"Tired...so tired..."
"I will save you, I promise it."
"Thank...you..."
Riveria spoke her next words only because she knew Aina so well. "Where is your husband?"
"Ehe...Eina...send him...home...to get...some sleep...they don´t...want to...leave me..."
"Are they treating you well here?"
"Yes...thank you...for...paying...I will...give it...back to...you..."
Riveria had demanded to take over the costs for Aina´s treatment, one of the benefits of being a princess...her father sometimes send her stuff to sell so she wouldn´t starve...he couldn´t stop doting on his daughter.
"You don´t need to..."
Aina waved weakly with her left hand, Riveria came closer and leaned down to her. With a weak and tired smile, Aina patted Riveria´s head, she was the only person Riveria would ever allow to touch her like that.
"Riveria...my...little...sister..."
"Aina...rest now. I will be back with the flower, I promise."
"Stay safe...okay?"
"I will." Riveria frowned. "Eina, you can stop pretending to be asleep."
Both adult elves noticed the slight jerk of Eina´s body. "I´m sorry.."
"Don´t worry."
"Hey...sweety..."
"*Hic* Mama..."
Riveria pretended that she didn´t heard that...calling her mother like that was a very intimate way.
With slightly teary eyes, Eina looked up to Riveria. "Lady Riveri-"
She stopped when Riveria raised an eyebrow, giving her "that look".
"I´m sorry...I mean...a-aunt...Riveria.."
They weren´t really related so closely, but Riveria was more than happy whenever Aina treated her like her little sister. And one day Aina spoke out loud her thoughts, that this would make Riveria technically Eina´s aunt.
There were only a few people that Riveria let so close to her, but she had agreed to keep Eina safe in case something would happen to her parents...one day after Eina´s birth.
"Don´t worry...Eina. We will come back and help her."
"Thank you..*Hic*..."
"I have to go now, Bell will wait for me."
.
"*Sniff* *Hic* *Sob*"
"Loki..."
"My cute, little Riveria is going away with a man...I´m so proud...and worried!"
"Loki!"
Riveria had already put on her travel clothes and her backpack was ready.
"What? Let me! I mean he already has Ais...Lefiya...Tiona...and now you! Does this rabbit know no stopping?"
"Loki...you know that this isn´t the reason, stop making things up!"
Riveria knew Loki well enough to know when she was serious, when silly...and when worried. But Loki was only worried about Riveria´s safety...which included Aina´s wellbeing or Riveria would suffer from that.
"Do you have everything? Tissues? A handkerchief? An "Anti Man Spray" for the nights?"
"Loki...*sigh*"
Secretly, Riveria was thankful to the goddess, that she tried to cheer her up and focus her mind on something else. Alicia and Leifya were too worried about Riveria´s wellbeing, they had pleaded to accompany her.
But she had declined, together with Finn, in six days the expedition would start.
"I´m serious here! While you are not young anymore, you still are nice to look at! And you will be alone with that boy so often!"
"Loki!" Riveria had the feeling she only repeated the goddesses name in different ways.
No one of the Familia, well except Loki, was suicidal enough to call Riveria old. But she had to admit that Loki was really nice, they had given Riveria what they could spare on magic items.
The whole Familia wanted her to come back safely, it was very touching.
"And don´t you dare elope on me! Just because a man finally has his eyes on you."
"Lo-...*sigh*...I won´t...don´t worry..."
"And bring back some elven booze! From every forest!"
"Of course..."
"Yeah! You are the best, "Mom"!"
"Who is a mom..."
Eventually Loki was able to let her go, Finn asked for Loki´s advice and winked to Riveria. After making sure she was ready, Riveria closed her coat and took her staff. When she opened the door, someone was leaning against a pillar on the side.
"Ais? What are you doing here?"
"Go with you to see you two off." A light smile was on Ais´ lips.
While they walked together to the eastern gate, Riveria and Ais talked about a few things. It would be the longest time they wouldn´t see each other ever since Ais had joined the Loki Familia. Maybe it was since she became a couple with Bell, but Ais got a bit more open about showing her feelings to a few people.
Of course she was worried about Riveria and would miss her, Ais was very affectionate by her standards...she would miss her "Mom".
.
.
"Stay safe, you two."
"Thank you, we will be off, Ais."
"Ais...until then."
"Bell..."
"*Sigh* I will wait outside..."
It may be better that Riveria didn´t asked herself how many girls Bell had given a long, loving kiss since yesterday...all of them that he wouldn´t see for weeks now. And seeing her "daughter" kissing him...wasn´t something for Riveria...that should be between them alone.
But Riveria had almost started to chuckle when she saw Bell waiting at the gate, with that enormous backpack. .
.
They were able to leave the city with the emergency permission and they set off. The street ended after a few hundred meters and went into another direction, so they had no choice but to walk cross-country. Thankfully the weather wasn´t too cold and the sun shone, the further they got away from Orario, the less people they saw.
After an hour they were completely alone, only a few trees and grass before them, with the alv mountains further away. Since taking a carriage was not an option, they would need about a week to arrive at the forest. At first both didn´t said much and just kept walking, Bell didn´t really knew how to start a conversation.
"Ahm..."
"Yes?"
"Have you seen Ms. Eina? And her mother? How are they?"
"Eina is tired, she is at Aina´s side all the time. And Aina...she is really weak, but they do everything possible for her."
"That´s good, at least it isn´t something worse."
He noticed that Riveria sped up a little bit, Bell just followed her. While Riveria was the most composed member of her Familia, Bell had the strong feeling that she was really worried. He had experienced something similiar with Ryu back then when they went north to find her goddess.
Just like her, Riveria sped up a bit and after some time calmed down again to get slower, only to speed up after a few minutes. Since both were level six adventurers, they walked faster than normal people could, someone without a Falna would probably need two weeks to reach the mountains.
Out of the corner of his eyes, Bell glanced at Riveria, her expression was calm, but Bell had experience with women...she was troubled.
"Bell."
"Yes?"
"It is rude to stare at someone from the side."
"I´m sorry...I just..."
"What is it?"
Riveria sounded more upset than she intended to.
"I will be honest...I´m worried, since you are worried."
She raised her eyebrow and looked at him without missing a step, it was a self defense mechanism what she did, falling into her usual, teacher-like behaviour.
"Explain."
"I dare to say that you look...restless. Almost like...you will start to run at any second now."
"I am not a child anymore, Bell Cranel."
Riveria always used his full name when she was a bit upset, or tried to defend herself like now.
"This wasn´t what I meant."
Bell tried his best in his own way to let Riveria vent her worries.
"Are you telling me I need to calm down?"
"No, I just want to tell you, I will do anything to help you find that flower, we will not fail."
Riveria understood what Bell tried to do, even if he wasn´t that great with words. For a few minutes she remained silent and thought about her behaviour since they left the city. To start the journey to rescue Aina...Riveria felt restless, she was afraid they would take too long...or fail at all.
Worried she might return to Orario and Aina would have passed away...that she was away in her last months instead of spending time with her. But without the flower she had no chance.
"Thank you...Bell..."
A light smile graced her lips. Riveria felt strange around Bell, not directly because of their journey. That Bell treated her so normal was a blessing for her, whenever she was on a journey with people, it were mostly other elves since Riveria left the city only with her Familia or when she visited the elven forests.
Now she would visit more than one forest and it was the first time she...could let herself go a bit. Which didn´t meant she would be carefree or change her behaviour...it was more the mental equivalent of relaxing tense shoulders. A little bit...a tiny, little bit...Riveria relaxed her body more...Bell probably wouldn´t notice it but she felt better.
Being worried all the time wouldn´t help Aina, she needed to concentrate on what was ahead of them. She rememberred that she only told Bell about this journey yesterday evening and now they were on the way.
"Please don´t be angry at yourself."
"Huh?" Riveria blinked surprised.
It was as if Bell had seen through her scolding herself for forgetting to give him critical informations.
"Your...ears..." Bell smiled slightly abashed.
She didn´t touched her ears but looked confused.
"I...noticed for a while now...you frowned...and...your ears...were twitching slightly."
"And?"
"I saw that with Eina, Ryu and Lefiya too...it is a sign that an elf...is upset. They mostly did that when they were angry about themself."
His honest, pure, friendly smile stopped Riveria from a harsh answer. She didn´t even knew this habit herself...and it seemed to be something that her race did. If she thought carefully then...he was right. Like when animal people twitched with their ears or tails...elves did that too.
He really has a good eye for elves...
What surprised her more was that she allowed him to speak to her like that. A Familia member would be scolded by her or receive a bonk to the head by her iron fist when they went too far...but...she didn´t minded...when it was Bell.
It was quite the opposite, Riveria enjoyed the way he talked with her. Friendly...respectfull...polite...yet..normal. Bell didn´t treated her different just because she was an high elf...and yet she wondered how he would react if he would find out who she really was...about her family.
"You are right, I´m sorry."
"You don´t need to, Ms. Riveria."
Ah...this smile...this friendly smile...
"But you reminded me of something, there are important things I need to tell you."
"I´m all ears."
"At first, you know that we are searching for an Infinity Flower, but I didn´t told you what makes it so special or how it looks. The "Infinity Flower" is a special plant that doesn´t behave like other plants, it is almost magical.
We elves never figures out when it grows, how long or where, only that is only appears deep in elven forests or old ruins."
"Old ruins?"
"Sometimes the time wasn´t nice to my people, monsters or other things destroyed villages or big trees. A big tree is basically a village inside one giant tree, some are our variant of our fortress."
He nodded, not wanting to interrupt her again.
"In old times some of these were abandoned and never repopulated again. Other living beings settled there."
His look asked for an example.
"Goblins sometimes or other small monsters. I know of one giant tree that is the home of a special kind of spiders."
"Spiders? Like monsters?"
"Yes and no. While they are really big, they are not hostile if you don´t attack them first or destroy their nets. The usual ones are as big as a hell hound, and their queen is an Arachne."
"Those are monsters, half female human, half spider?"
"It differs, this one looks half elf, half spider. And they don´t only live there, they trade with the elves in that forest."
"I...always thought that..."
"Elves normally look down on other races, but these are "sacred" spiders. They produce some kind of silk that is woven to clothes by the elves, in exchange they give them fruits and other things, mostly what their queen desires."
"She can...talk?"
"Yes."
"So...is she...a Xenos?"
Riveria shook her head. "No, she is simply known as the "Spider queen", and they live in that tree for hundreds of years now. Normal spiders would move further and spin their webs everywhere, but they stay in that tree...except for when they go hunting."
"What do they hunt? Animals? I hope not elves..."
"No, they hunt goblins and other small monsters, they keep a big part of the forest protected."
"Will we encounter them?"
"Not if it isn´t necessary. While they are not hostile, they don´t like it when people come into their home."
"Then I hope we will find the flower somewhere else."
"Right, the flower. There are a few rare flowers that grow in elven forests and two of them are special. The "Infinity Flower" and the "Eternity Flower", the first one is much more rare, her petals are golden with white anthers, the other one is the opposite, white petals and golden anthers."
"What does an "Eternity Flower" do?"
"That you don´t need to know!"
Somehow...Riveria looked...flustered, Bell decided to not ask her about the flower more, maybe someone else could tell him.
"Okay, when we find an "Infinity Flowe" what do we do? Dig her out or cut her off?"
"We need to dig her out and put her in this."
Riveria opened her backpack without slowing down and took out a small glass cylinder.
"I have two of those, in case one breaks. With them we can transport the flower with the earth around her to Orario. She will bloom for a long time, but I don´t want to risk anything."
"You are well prepared as I see."
"But there is something you need to be prepared for too."
"Oh?"
"You never met an elf that still lives in the forest, right?"
"Well ahm I mean Ryu and..."
Riveria shook her head. "All elves you met in Orario, Lyon...Lefiya...Filvis...I...we are different from the elves in the forests."
"But you came out of the forests, their are your homes, aren´t they?"
"Yes and no. As you said correctly we came from the forests and that is the difference to the other elves. Forest elves nearly never leave their forests, they don´t trust the outside world.
War, crimes...and all those unpleasant things don´t happen there...well not in the way it happens outside. Most of the elves think of themself as something better than the other races, that´s why they look down on them."
Bell nodded, Ryu had told him it was one of the reasons why she left her forest.
"There are some among those elves...only young ones...that are curious about the outside world. They don´t believe that everything is bad there and they want to see something else than their forests. It was for me like this and for Aina too, as far as I know it was similar for Lyon.
But many of those who live in the forests have problems with elves that left the forests and return for a visit. They see them tainted and don´t trust them...in some cases even their families treat them like that."
"That´s horrible..."
"This is what isolation does to a race, but I agree with you, it is horrible. Some forests are a bit wilder than others, but open hostility is rare, especially since most elves that leave the forests join a Familia. A Falna makes someone much stronger than anyone without one.
Back when I traveled with Lyon, Filvis and Lefiya, they wanted to forbid us to enter the forest. I talked to them and they agreed to let us in if we managed to solve a few trials."
"That isn´t very nice."
"They only agreed because...*sigh*...because I am an high elf."
"Is that so special among elves? Ryu and Lefiya told me about it, but I don´t get it."
"You could say it is like nobility, elves care about that very much. The king of the high elves...or rather all elves...wants to protect our race. Most elves don´t trust the gods, they think about them as hedonistic pleasure addicts, that they only seek entertainment."
"Well...a few gods are...ahm...strange...but...to judge all of them...don´t elves have gods?"
"We do, but not one of them came down to the surface, the elves think of that as an important sign. I hate do admit it, but most elves think of themself as something better..."
Riveria continued.
"Where was I...the king of the elves tries to protect the people. He is really stubborn when it comes to that topic, he thinks that it is better like this. No matter how often someone argues with him about that, he won´t change about this topic. When Aina and I tried to leave the forest, he even send his knights after us...they even attacked Aina!
It was luck that Loki and Finn came to the forest...to get an elf."
"Get...an elf? That sounds...rude."
"Loki wanted an elf for her Familia."
"I...it surely didn´t helped to change the view of the king of the elves."
"No it didn´t, but what helped was that Finn and I defeated a fire dragon that attacked us. The others were shocked when I let Loki give me her Falna...*sigh*...even though she mostly forced me to do it."
"But...why were they after you in the first place? I understand that you are an high elf and someone of high birth...but aren´t you allowed to make your own decisions? And why did the king came after you personally and not just sending the knights?"
"My father didn´t wanted me to leave."
"Your father...is someone important among the high elves?"
Riveria looked at Bell...he really didn´t got it.
"My father was with them."
"So like...the leader of the knights?"
"Bell...it is sometimes refreshing how...sorry for the word...naive you can be."
"Huh?"
Riveria smiled. "My father is the king of the elves."
"Your father...the...king..."
"Yes."
"You are...a...princess?"
"Yes."
*sigh* Now it begins...he will start like the others...
"Hehe, somehow it fits you."
"Hm?"
"I mean your earnest, hardworking behaviour. Your grace...it fits somehow."
"If you say so."
"What else do I need to know?"
Riveria was a bit dumbfounded to be honest...Bell didn´t seemed to care one bit about her status.
"Is that all? No questions about my family?"
"No, your family is your matter and bugging in would be rude. I mean you are still the same, the friendly, honest, beautiful, kind Ms. Riveria. Or should I treat you differently?"
"Please don´t. You are the first person to not make a big thing out of it."
"Okay then, now what do I need to know too?"
Bell didn´t knew it, but he let Riveria´s heart make a small jump of joy bis his simple words.

So the start of the Journey. It will take a while and the two will have to face dangers on their way. I will take my time to slowly build up their relationship, there will be a few important points in the story. Riveria´s character makes it impossible to just suddenly fall in love with Bell, so it will take time.
Next chapter will be the Halloween Special for "Spirit Child", as usual for the specials, it isn´t meant too serious, but not as silly as the summer one from "Like a Fairy".
