Disclaimer: I do not own Danmachi or make profits off this fanfiction.

AN: The Danmachi wiki didn't mention any data on Floors 28 through 36. So, I'm going to make my own region be floors 31 through 33. It's known by a nickname, Orario's Jotunheim. A vast snowy region that has a variety of monsters. It will be heavily influenced by World of Warcrafts' Northrend. The reason being that on floor 37 Udaeus and Spatori are there. So, one of the more common monsters in Orario's Jotunheim is a type of undead looking creature known as the Frosted. They are the bodies of Level 3 Adventurers that the Dungeon has repurposed into monsters. Including magic stones, their drop item is 'Frost Armor'. Frost Goblins are also a larger version of their Upper Floors counterpart. Lastly, this chapter is about to get very controversal with an unexpected major character death. Please, don't flame until future events unfold.

Finn was "practicing" down in the dungeon letting his Fortia spear play with the bodies of the monsters. He was currently on the 32nd floor, in Orario's Jotunheim. His spear skewered one of the Frosted. A rather common monster that was the body of a Level 3 adventurer. Some of the bodies were from ancient times that had at one point been blessed by the first deities to come down from the Heavens.

With this vast supply of bodies, the Dungeon repurposed them into a shell for icy slime monsters called Frost Slimes. The blob of sky blue liquid with shards of ice would seep into the body and move it around. The chest would become so frozen with ice that it was deemed Frost Armor. An ice so stable and durable that only hot magma could melt it. It could be converted into a weapon like Under Coral could.

Finn let the monsters have it and had a rather joyous time if it could be called one. He made it a point to not let the Frost Slimes escape once the Frosted had been put to rest. The area around him suddenly became quiet as it began to shake violently.

Unbeknownst to him, a desperate prum was now going to prove his love for his Goddess. He would win back his Goddess's love and it would be through this shameless tactic.

Dvallin opened another magic item he had procured on the black market. He had been camping out on the 28th floor. A safety point away from most other Adventurers. However, it was there that he met an 'woman' that he conned into his servant.

Phryne looked down at Finn from atop a mountain as she handed Dvallin his magic item, "So, when are you going to take me out on a proper date?"

Dvallin had to stop himself from gagging as he replied to her, "Soon Phry-chan. I just want to prove to my Goddess that I am the best. That I can be the next hero that she desires."

Phryne looked at him and said with a lick of her lips, "But, you still love me right? Not her?"

Dvallin had grown used to manipulating his words to get what he wanted. He would avoid ever tainting his words to saying Freya wasn't his true love. So, he would pleasure the mountain of fat that he was using and just leave answers short like, "The moon pales compared to your beauty."

Phryne was giggling at these little things. The black market item that Dvallin was given was an Excelcia Book (L). He was familiar with the concept of a Excelcia Book, granting the user access to their current Excelcia without an update from their deity.

Loki was sitting with Riveria having a nice mug of ale with her. The Elf abstained from drinking alcohol and drank purified water. The two were have a nice conversation. Loki dropped her drink as she felt a vanishment of her blessing. She stood up began to cry uncontrollable, "NOOOOO!"

Riviera looked at her and asked afraid what he Goddess was doing. Loki had a similar event happen only a few weeks ago. When Arcs died, so it could only mean that Loki lost another child. Riviera ask afraid of the answer, "Who was it?"

Many hours later Tiona watched as her sister hacked and slashed at every practice dummy in the yard. According to Loki, the last image she saw from receiving back Finn's Falna was the Ishtar Familia's Androctonus.

Tiona was worried for her sister. Tione had been deeply in love with the Captain. The whole Familia liked him and admired him. It was unthinkable that he was now gone from them.

Aisha balked at Phryne holding up the Frotia Spear. Phryne had a private mansion that she maintained on the 28th floor. Aisha looked at the wall of the Toad's latest trophy. Finn's body hanged on the wall of the manion along with a variety of other men.

And Dvallin was the one massaging her right foot. Aisha asked her captain, "What was going through your mind? Don't you see he's using you? We're going to war with his Familia soon."

Dvallin stood up and pretended to not care, "All I care about is pleasing the one who holds my eye."

Phryne smiled as she hugged her little man, "Yes, and he's said I'm more beautiful than the moon. Isn't that romantic?"

In Dvallin's mind, if he could manipulate the events that he heard about Ishtar Familia. Then, he could serve as a spy for his Goddess. To prove his loyalty to Ishtar, he would have to prove himself her captain. And playing with her heart strings he arrange for the two of them to fight Finn. When Finn was worn out from Phryne. Dvallin smashed in the Braver's legs and let his tool skewer him.

Aisha tried to convince her Captain, "What is going on with you?"

Phryne waved her off, "Dvallin had a great idea. If Ishtar wants to run out Freya. Then, let's get rid of Loki too. Orario will be mine for the taking."

Aisha really hated Dvallin, Phryne and Ishtar. This was all going over the place and someone innocent was going to die for ego.

Ishtar threw a glass of beer after Samira had delivered news from the Berbera network. It hadn't even been a full day and Loki was seeking revenge against her. Ishtar shouted in panic, "I didn't plan this at all!"

Tammuz who was under her Charm said as if blessed with a part of her mind, "The Deities can influence their divinity over the children of the world, this is not using arcanum."

Ishtar ventured out onto the balcony of her home and looked over the entertainment district. She smiled at the power that her women had over the men. The political power that ran through her streets would now banish Loki. Using her divinity Ishtar charmed all the powerful men of influence that had slept with one of her prostitutes.

A pink glow came over the city of Orario. Ishtar could see it now, why take out Freya Familia out of jealousy. When she could eliminate both Orario's greatest Familias in one fell swoop.

Royman soon came to her and asked her with a genuflect in his underwear, "Goddess, how may I serve you?"

Ishtar smiled lecherously, "Loki has damaged the reputation of my Familia. The Guild will bring her up on charges. Disband the Loki Familia!"

With a wicked laugh the Goddess let her madness take over. Her eyes looked over her new prize, no longer the Entertainment district. All of Orario!

Loki looked at her Familia and said to them in their hall, "It seems that over night, Ishtar Familia has turned the city against us. I've been ordered to disband my Familia by the end of the week. On the advice of new acting Captain, Gareth. I'm going to place all your Falna in conversion state."

Raul stood up with pride, "We can't let this happen. Not after what they did to the Captain. We're Loki Famil-"

Loki shouted and shut down her child, "ENOUGH!"

Loki looked teary eyed and sniffled, "Raul, this is harder than you could know. But, after what happened to Arcs and now Finn. I know something bigger is a play. I will not lose anymore of my children. That is a promise."

Freya looked at her assembled Executives and Vice Executives. She looked over the letter that was presented to her by Riveria Ljos Alf. The Loki Familia Executive that was sitting at the end of the long table, "Child, I would like you to know. That we have plans in motion that would lead to war. Something that will swallow the city if not, the world in its' calamity if everything doesn't go according to plan. Are you sure that you want to pursue this route?"

Riviera Alf Ljos gave a solemn nod, "What Goddess Ishtar does not realize is that with the disbanding of Loki Familia. That instead Loki will bolster your ranks with her very best. So, that when Goddess Ishtar declares war on Freya Familia. That one of the prizes of the wargame will be her going to Heaven."

Freya looked at the letter from her friend and rival. It was a heartfelt letter pleading for Freya to include her in any plans involving Ishtar. Freya smiled to herself, of course the greatest trickster would be aware of a scheme brewing. As the saying goes, you can't fool a fooler.

Freya vowed silently for her friend, 'You will not be banished like them.'.

Freya looked up at the High Elf, "Very well, whichever children volunteer will be welcomed for as many years as they want. And once they wish to return to Loki after this fiasco is over. Then, they can do so. And I'll reconvert them after the minimum year requirement."

AN: Don't worry, Loki will not be sent back to Heavens. This is the only way I can think of to move the story in the direction that I want to. She will come out on top at the end of this arc. Don't worry. Also, I'm sorry for killing off Finn. But, don't worry I have future plans for him. He'll be back, just not in a way that some might be used to.
