Chapter 13: The Goddess of Beauty and the Beasts
TOP OF BABEL – LATE AFTERNOON
As Ottar entered the room, he saw an angry black-haired young man with cat ears, looking angry at him.
(OPENING: HIROYUKI SAWANO feat: Eliana – S_TEAM)
„There you are, YOU'RE LATE, where have you - "
„Allen …. " a female voice said, which caused the cat-eared boy to silence.
As Ottar reached them both, Ottar bowed in front of the female.
In front of him sat a beautiful white-haired, purple-eyed woman on an armchair with golden ornaments.
„I'm deeply sorry for my delay, Lady Freya" Ottar said, still bowing. He knew that his goddess is impatient, even if wasn't his but on of the elevator's fault.
„ it's understandable, Ottar, so, tell us, how is he ?" Freya asked.
Then Ottar explained to them how he fought against Noct and explained his abilities. The most shocking thing to his Goddess and the fellow member was that Noct had punched him right in his face, causing him to fly.
(soundtrack: „Naruto shippuuden ost – Hurricane Suite 1 ")
„so ...", Freya realized, while standing up, ".. you say the rumor's about him are true? "
„yes, our Informant from the Guild wasn't exaggerating, also his fighting spirit proved it to me from the very beginning, " Ottar said.
„do you also agree that he'll level up soon ?" Freya asked him.
„I doubt that, but it's also questionable if Allen and/or the others could deal with him if it's necessary," Ottar said while looking to his black-haired comrade, who in turn got angry again, pressing his teeth.
„Allen … " Freya said while smiling, which both heard as a warning, which led Allen to calm down again.
Then suddenly, Freya stood up, going to the window, which showed the panorama of the whole Orario.
Freya's gaze then fell, right at the outer entrance of Babel.
„what else can you tell me about him, " Freya asked her second Question to her loyal Familia's Captain.
„despite looking young, he behaved much older ..", Ottar explained, „and to me, he also gave the impression of a Prince who recently became a real King"
At this point, Freya turned her head to Ottar again.
She started to laugh, „So you're saying he's worthy of your Alias?" Freya said after her laugh.
„well, he's indeed a master with his Blade", Ottar continued, „but to me, he still has a lot to learn, especially with his fists," Ottar said while remembering again how Noct punched him right in his face, still keeping a serious expression.
„But there's something else that's concerning, " Ottar said.
Freya and Allen still looked at him.
„there was a dark presence witnessing our fight. Who or whatever that was, it wasn't weak and certainly not an adventurer."
At this point Freya expression got serious, thinking about what she heard from Allen what the Loki Familia had dealt with recently.
„so you're saying that this Organisation might've aroused interest in him, what was it called again? " Freya asked while this time looking to Allen.
„there called 'Evilus' ..." Allen started to explain, „but they have been wiped out years ago, thanks to that Elf-Girl 'Gale' from the Astraea Familia, even if the Loki Familia's reports about Olivas Act were true, he has been erased immediately, so it's unlikely for them to reform as a group that fast."
Allen then briefly looked towards his Captain, „If you ask me, it's more likely that it is someone he might know, which makes him more dangerous than useful." Allen finished explaining his point of view.
„do I hear the jealousy in your Words, Allen? " Freya asked with a mischievous smile.
Allen pressed his teeth again, since his beloved goddess was right after all, who wouldn't when she's giving attention to someone else than him and his Familia members. It's the same as with 'little Rookie'.
Freya, who just smiled by Allen's reaction, looked to Ottar again.
„anything else ? " she asked him.
„I also saw how 'little Rooke', as well as all the others witnessing, were deeply impressed by his talent.", Ottar saw how his Goddess turned red after he mentioned the white-haired boy, while Allen got annoyed again.
„And since they both are in the same Familia, it's possible that 'little rookie' might get pampered by him, which can also be concerning. "
At this point, Freya made a serious expression. She didn't like to hear that someone could stand in her way.
Ottar noticed that „but that's very unlikely, and only my personal opinion, of course", he added.
Freya then looked again trough her window, outside down at Babel's entrance, Noticing Noct and Bell themselves, along with the others who witnessed the battle.
Freya smiled, then getting red again, „ in any case, a new player has entered Orario, and this can never get boring, " she said before smiling again full of relish. She remained red, only this time also thinking about the 'new player'.
Allen on the other hand, still felt angry about Ottar's statement, that this new guy's supposed to be stronger than him.
Ottar, right now, though again of Noct and their battle, 'a King, who seeks answers.'
