Inspiration:The Hobbit(loosely) part 2

It was night time, Bell who was now fully clothed entered his house. He went to his bedroom to see Riveria who was sleeping peacefully in his bed.

"Awww you just love sleeping on someone's bed now do you?" Loki teased.

The flushed high elf stomped on her foot.

"OW!"

He couldn't help smile and went to find the others. He saw them sleeping in the stables. Bell glared at them and went over to the living room and sat by the chimney.

Lili studied his expression and it reminded her of herself before joining the Hestia Familia . "He is not nice as the original is he?"

"Bell has his reason to despise adventurers," Agila remarked. "And you're no stranger to that feeling am I right?"

The screen shifted at dawn. Lili opened her eyes and saw a bee close to her face. She shooed it away and got up.

She looked over at a large dining table and saw Bell and Riveria helping handing out some food. Lili noticed that he was taller then the rest of her group they ate breakfast. She went over and joined in.

Bell spoke in a scottish accent after pouring milk on Tiona's tankard. "So, you're the one they call the Pallum Braver the Commander of Orario?"

Finn sighed. "You know he doesn't have to call me that."

"Why not!?" Tione complained. "It suits you!"

Gareth gave a laugh. "She's got ya there."

Finn sighed.

"Tell me," He continued. "Why are the Minions of Ares and Erida hunting you."

Everyone but Riveria looked surprise At Bell's familiarity of the war gods.

Everyone became surprised at his question.

Agila reminded them. "As I said before, a sentient dragon."

"Erida!?" Aisha gasped with the Amazons began to worry.

"Erida?" Lulune repeated in concerned. "Erida?! Erida?! Goddess of Hate Erida?!

"The very same." Aisha answered in worry.

The Gods shuddered when they all heard the name Erida. The story goes on that Erida is the Goddess of War and enjoys bloodshed much like Freya. Unlike Freya, She has not control over her appetite for confict.

But last they heard she was in Telskyura making amazons fight each other and starting constant wars against other Familias.

"You know of Ares and Erida?" Finn asked. "How?"

"Well, mostly Ares." He answered . "My people once lived in Dragon Valley. When we were facing extinction we moved into the mountains outside the valley hoping for a higher success to survive. But that is before the Rakians came riding down from the north."

They saw scars on his arms and chest. They indicate he was whipped as he put down the milk on the table.

The audiences winced at the sight. All of Bell's love interest and comrades shuddered at thought of him gaining those scars... Well except for the amazons as they find it very hot.

"Not for work you understand," He continued. "But for sport."

Everyone was shocked. "No."

They couldn't imagine the kind of pain and suffering he had to endure at Rakian hands.

"Caging draconians and killing them seemed to amuse him."

Lili questioned him. "Their are others like you?"

"Once their were many." Bell said in a saddened tone.

Riveria noticed this and placed a hand on his shoulder. He felt a bit at ease.

"And now?" Filvis asked

"Now their is only one."

Everyone remained silent. This world's Ares is maybe worst the theirs.

Hestia grinded her teeth. "Ares, you monster!"

Lili became infuriated. "How can you do that to Bell!"

The Hestia familia including everyone agreed to them. Ais was disgusted at the God's action. Asfi hoped alternate Marius could finally overthrow his father and Ares. Riveria felt sorry, although she wished that there is something they could do even if it's not her reality.

Freya gritted her teeth. Those around her could feel her blood about to burst.

Bell sat on his chair by the chimney."You need to reach Mountain before the Rakians headed there first."

"Before the downfall of Orario begins of course." Riveria interjected.

"You are running out of time."

Riveria spoke. "Which is why we must go through the Seolo Forest."

"A darkness lies upon that forest," Bell's voice had a small hint of fear. "A dangerous force has made most of it's inhabitants flee from the trees. I would not venture except in great need."

"That doesn't sound good." Haruhime said fearfully.

"But that forest is the only way to get to the mountain." Welf sighed.

"Maybe we could get help from the elves like Wishe, Ryumilia and the Alf Royal Forest," Lefiya suggested. "I mean it's worth a shot since we have a common enemy."

"That's a smart suggestion." Riveria said.

"It's a 50-50 chance to try." Lefiya admitted

"Your Riveria's apprentice right?" He asked. "Oh yes, Riveria mentioned you in her letters and I am certain you will be taking her place once she retires from being an adventurer."

The elf looked surprised and glanced at her mentor. Riveria leaned on a wall and nodded at her.

Lefiya blushed while Riveria had slight chuckle at her reaction. Ais and Tiona pouted.

"Although it is worth a try," Bell responded. "However, they are not like their urban kin. They are less wise and more dangerous as you know what they are known for."

Most of the elves grumbled as Bell called them less wise. Then again, he has a point. Elves like Ryuu and Riveria found it amusing. The formers bit back a smile and contained their laughter.

"But it matters not."

"huh."

Finn questioned him. "What do you mean?"

Bell grimmed. " The Rakians and Erida Familia members are recruiting mercenaries, exiled, and anyone who seeks to conquer or destroy Orario. Their numbers are growing and you are on foot. You will never reach find another way to reach the Mountain alive."

The party remained silent. They know that he was telling the truth. Bell rose from his chair and approached the table.

"I don't like adventures," He said. "They're greedy, spoiled, and blind. Blind to see who the real monsters are and become the very thing they kill."

Everyone except Ottar gulped. Even though they are not there. They can still feel his deadly aura reaching them. Even the first class adventurers were intimidated.

"But Rakians I hate more," He confessed. "What do you need?"

A sigh of relief came out of everyone.

A spark lit up in Riveria mind and it made her smile. "We already have what we need."

Bell raised an eyebrow at his wife

"Wait you knew we were coming?" Gareth rose up from his seat and turned to Riveria. "Didn't you?"

"With a goddess like Loki, I prefer to keep some of my secrets kept." She simply replied.

"Agreed." Almost who knew Loki spoke.

Loki pouted as her children snickered.

The screen changes again to Bell in his dragon form flying.On his back is Riveria who is smiling and enjoying the wind running through her hair. Behind her is the party who are holding on for dear life. Together, they soar through the air traveling to their destination and the screen cuts to black.

"That looks fun." Tiona grinned.

"Hmph!" Lefiya pouted. "I still can't believe Lady Riveria was married to the likes of him!"

"Someone's jealous." Tione teased

"No! I'm not!"

Riveria didn't mind if she was married to Bell. But she had a feeling it cause problems with Ais. The latter just that it maybe possible that it could happen in their reality. She gripped the armrest tightly.

'That's never gonna happen is it?'
