AN: I'll admit that this chapter is incredibly short. I'll try to make Chapter 20 longer.

Loki put together some sandwiches and pulled out of the oil fryer some fresh potato chips. Loki looked at the log cabin that Gareth, Raul, Anakitty, Bete and Narvi built for her. It had been a week since they moved out of Orario.

The Guild only had so much authority over the world. Their authority was mainly over Orario. They had branches in various cities and towns across the world. But, for little pallets like the one Loki moved to. They had none.

The members that went with Loki were allowed to keep their Falna so long as they promised not to step foot inside Orario. For that reason and others, Bete was technically no longer a member of Loki Familia.

Having transferred to Dian Cecht Familia, would provide him with a good reason to going to the Dungeon. And keeping an eye on the rest of the Familia in his spare time. The fact Line transferred with him boosted the hospital talent with a new healer. It totally didn't help Bete's image when Loki teased him about taking back flowers to his "Bride". Loki found it humorous how he would bark at her.

Loki was busy preparing a meal for her children who were out for the day. Raul was out doing monster slaying for the locals. Protecting their crops and collecting magic stones to run the magic stone powered devices at home. Gareth was acting as law enforcement of the pallet, settling disputes. It helped that the majority of the locals were either Human or Dwarf. The pallet made it's economy based on producing farm equipment or growing exotic crops to trade with merchants from Orario.

Loki had sent Anakitty out with Narvi to hunt some game. Loki was getting tired of eating chicken and eggs.

Loki heard a crying from outside as she asked no one in particular, "Who's that?"

Loki opened the door to see Anakitty holding a bundle of joy. A basket left on a Deity's porch was often tradition for mother's who couldn't care for their baby. Deity's often enjoyed raising a baby in the world. Loki cooed the baby with blue eyes, "Welcome to your new home."

Narvi walked past the pair carrying a boar carcass, "Pardon me."

Anakitty said once she smelled something stinky, "I am not changing that."

Loki gripped at her, "Come on, where is your motherly instincts!"

Anakitty replied to her goddess heading for the kitchen, "I left them with Riveria."

Loki looked at the baby Prum and said once she recognized the soul dipped in bright bronze, "Missed me, eh? So, what do I call you in this life my little Braver?"

Humming Loki brimmed with joy, "Cróga Deimne. Yeah, Brave in Pallum. That'll show the world who's the bravest."

Ottaria had decided to watch over Tione at the request of Nine Hells, Tiona and Goddess Freya. Before getting to Level 8, Ottaria would have ignored the requests of her Executives, only ever taking requests from her Goddess. However, she had learned over the past month and two weeks that the Captain of a Familia should help those around. She learned that from the one her Goddess loved. Ottaria felt a throb in her chest every time Bell would get that nervous smile or that determination during the morning baptism. She now knew why Hörn was having a difficult time that Bell was being pursued by others. Ottaria grabbed at her chest as she watched him fly through the sky.

When he landed having dodged Allen, she knew the path that she had to follow. Her eyes moved to an end of the field where Tione had been camping out at for the past three days. Ottaria observed the Amazoness hack and slash at the dummies. She was not given Morning Baptism just yet. Not that there were not challengers, but Ottaria figured that until she got a hold of her killer instinct. That it would be better to let her be handled by one that could keep up with her.

Tears fell to the ground as another dummy fell. Tione's left hand was bleeding from the constant punching she was doing. It had been three days ago when she was last seen by Cassandra.

Tione screamed at the standing still dummies. Scaring the healer standing off to the side. Cassandra made an attempt to try to ask Tione something, only for the wails to drown her out.

Before Cassandra could move in a hand clasped her shoulder. She looked up and saw her Captain. Ottaria tossed her head indicating to back up. Cassandra spoke pleading, "But, the wound might become infected without treatment."

Ottaria grabbed at her sword hilt, "You can heal her once she doesn't pose a danger to you."

Cassandra asked her not wanting to know the answer, "How are you going to do that?"

Ottaria replied with her usual stoney attitude, "She's not a danger to you if she is unconscious, right?"

Ottaria shouted at Tione, "Tired of not getting something to fight back?"

Tione whirled around in rage, "You want to do something about it?"

Ottaria prepared for an attack, "Yes."

Across Folkvangr and Gersemi the roars of a maiden without a heart could be heard. Along with the clash of blades. The citizens felt the ground move once in a while. And noticed the buildings shiver with thunderous claps every ten or so minutes. The noise and movement lasted until dusk. When, it abruptly stopped.
