As Bell woke up, he had thought that everything that had happened until now was all a dream. Imagine his face when he saw Ethan near Hestia, who in turn was near the bed they put him in. Also, he was quite shocked to notice that his clothes were clean... or changed, whichever it was.

"Oh, you're awake. Lady Hestia, he's awake." the man sead as he gently nudged the goddess to wake up. As she did, Bell could see a slight smile escape her lips as she saw him, totally unharmed...

Wait, unharmed?!

Oh yeah, that strange man healed him...

As he was pondering things like 'why the bright flash though?', he suddenly noticed that the smile adorning Hestia's face turned into a frown as she asked: "Bell, what happened in the Dungeon? Why were you so beaten and drenched in minotaur blood?" And as Bell told her everything he knew - mainly how a minotaur ended up at the wrong level and chased him, and how a beautiful girl saved

him - Ethan wondered about one thing only.

How the girl looked.

No wait, dear reader! It's nothing perverted, I swear to my soul!

Anyway, he wondered that because he knew not many girls that could kill a minotaur as easily, HOWEVER, he did know one girl who could do that. And he absolutely HAD to know if it was her. But that could wait. Right now, as he was registered into the Familia while Bell was asleep, he and Bell had to do some errands in Orario.

And pray nobody remembers Ethan from the day before.

*timeskip onto Bell and Ethan

in town*

After Bell gave his gems in for Valis, and had a fateful 'meeting' at a certain pub, he suddenly remembered something.

*flashback to Ethan giving in his stats at the Guild*

"WHAT?! How?! Just how?!

The screaming old man was looking at Ethan's stats, as he was to do so until Ethan got someone to do that for the rest of the time Ethan had to go to the Guild, and was looking so utterly horrified, Ethan thought he'd get a stroke. Then the man sead: "But sir! This can't be! You sure you've never adventured before?!"

"Pretty sure, dear sir." Replied Ethan kindly. No need to give more reason for the old man to get even more excited by being rude to the man. And besides, he was teached to respect his elders.

"Impossible! You lie!!!"

"I assure you, sir, nothing but training every day for me. Not even barfights. Though let's be real, I never even went to a bar, there where I lived. Bunch of old drunks there, nothing for me to be there for."

As the old man was about to yell at him, he suddenly stopped after looking into Ethan better, paled, and just sead: " Y-yes indeed, young

lo-sir, I meant sir, haha silly me..."

"Yes, indeed... Anyway, have a nice day sir. I hope my papers haven't tired you too much. Goodbye."

And as the man looked wide-eyed at the paper...

He saw a rookie adventurer with his stats as a lvl. 3 and all S ranks.

AN:

Thanks to the kind person who made a short but sweet review! Also, my only excuse for not updating is school, "work", and to be honest, general lazyness. I also think I should eventually give this over to someone else, as I realised I'm not so well informed in DS lore, at least not as much as I thought I was. Till next time!

Also, if anyone has suggestions, speak up!

P.S.: Silly me! I seemed to forget to give a BIG thank you to all the peeps who fav'd, followed this story! Bless. You.

CHEERS,

Dariory.
