Bill's Goddess Adventure
A: Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon Story
Chapter 26
It was a few days later...and a VERY long rant involving the excessive consumption of alcohol. Which Hera explained: she didn't like since Zeus often came back drunk after meeting with the other Gods or during a bacchanal.
"We were careful. We didn't get drunk." Sachi had muttered a few times
"I was tipsy...I admit." Bill answered honestly
"Just...I don't want my family to be irresponsible." Hera answered "I shouldn't have over reacted."
"You had your reasons. I don't blame you." Bill responded
He hugged her, smiling
"Don't be out late again please." Hera asked
"Promise." Bill whispered
She nodded and kissed him gently
"Oh...That's adorable." Sachi smiled
"Not now, Sachi." Bill deadpanned as he and Lady Hera finished their hug
"Yea." Hera frowned
"Come on, I was only teasing." Sachi quickly ran out the room
Bill just sighed and kissed Hera one last time "I'm sorry about her."
"Go get her Bill." She smiled
"Thanks. GET OVER HERE SACHI!" Bill shouted and chased after her.
Sachi laughed as she ran faster
"Sachi? Bill?" Marcyl asked as she saw them run past her with two lunches for them
"Hey Marcyl." Sachi spoke running with the top lunch in her hand "Bye Marcyl."
"Hi Marcyl." Bill followed suit "Bye Marcyl; Get back here SACHI!"
"...Was I just part of a comedy skit?" Marcyl asked herself or the universe
She wasn't sure.
"Run...Running out...Of breath..." Sachi ran to the front of the dungeon and stopped
"Gotcha!" Bill flew at her and caught her.
Sachi laughed as Bill span her around a bit
"Gotcha! You gonna stop with the teasing now?" Bill asked
"Nope." She grinned
"Well then...Ready to head in?" He sighed
"Oh yeah and maybe we can get you some more balls to sleep with-" Sachi began to speak only to be interrupted by Bill's hand over her mouth
"No." He frowned
"Hmm. Nh Fhh." Sachi frowned behind his hand
"I don't care if this isn't fair, but THAT isn't appropriate." Bill answered "Are you going to behave or am I going to put you on a leash?"
Sachi just nodded Bill removed his hand from her lips "Putting me on a leash? Kinky aren't you?" She teased, causing Bill to anime-fall.
"SACHI!" He snapped
"Catch me if you can." Sachi ran inside
Bill growled and followed her
"Hey! No cutting!" Another yelled
"Sorry, but she's...You three." Bill apologised but then noticed who it was that yelled at them.
The three turned around at him, revealing who they where
It was the three Svarog Familia brothers, the same brothers who insulted the dwarves and elves all those months back, in Alicia's pub.
"You!" They glared
"I was about to say the same thing..." Bill answered
"What the hell do you think you're doing here?" the youngest brother asked
"Adventuring in the dungeon?" Bill answered sarcastically
"No you aren't. You're LEAVING." The middle brother answered
"Who are you, to tell us that?!" Sachi glared
"The Brothers of Svarog. The God of Fire. Zane, Filch and Ulfric." The eldest spoke "And I'M Ulfric..."
"I don't care who you are or who your familia is...But if you EVER insult my family or innocents...I WILL stop you." Bill glared at them.
The three glared, readying their weapons
*With Hera*
The Lady of the Hera Familia was currently walking through the market place with Zelda and Sheik to go to Alicia's pub for a meal...But that was when they saw a soot black clothed, red and ash grey haired individual at the front door. "Ah...Hera. How are ya?"
"Svarog? This is...A surprise." Hera gulped
"Yes...Yes it is. These two with you?" He asked with a cocky grin
"We are. I'm Sheik and this is my sister Zelda." Sheik answered
"...Charmed. You going to order anything? It'll be my treat." Svarog answered
"What do you want? You never leave your district. What're you planning?" Hera asked
"Hera...I'm...I'm HURT. I'm actually hurt. Here I am, trying to make conversation and you're accusing me." Svarog answered feigning being hurt.
Hera frowned... and pulled out a knife
"WHAT...Do you want Svarog? I'm serious." Hera threatened
"Hera...Finally grown a spine...Fine...I'm just wondering how you'll hear the news..." Svarog laughed lightly and caressed a coin within his hand
"News? What news?" Sheik asked
"What're you talking about?" Zelda added
Back at the cave Bill and Sachi were running from the brothers who were currently on the upper hand on them. But the two managed to shoot some arrows to slow them down.
"Why...When your boy is brought dead. And your knife-ears are brought to slavery." Svarog answered drawing a hatchet from his side.
Hera was frozen... and her eyes burst alive, as if fire was blazing in them
"But I'll be honest...Having former Adventurers as salves...That'd be SWEET..." Svarog smiled darkly "Bringing a knife to an axe fight...You've lost Hera. And don't worry about your knife-eared bitches...I'll treat them "right"."
Back in the cave Bill and Sachi were shooting arrows at these three brothers, but they managed to either dodge them or get grazed by them.
"These fuckers! They aren't easy!" Sachi spoke
"We're stronger together...NO-ONE can beat us. We're Svarog's sons...And Alaric's Heirs." Filch spoke
"... Alaric?" Bill frowned. The name was familiar but that wasn't important now. He threw a knife with the right timing and angle to stab it between the youngest brothers armour, right into his elbow joint of his right arm which was his sword wielding arm
"GAH! You fucker!" The youngest brother, Zane, shouted as his grip on his sword was gone, causing him to drop his blade.
"I've got the bitch." Filch spoke and aimed his sword for Sachi
"Looks like we've got you boy." Ulfric spoke darkly aiming his black-metal blade at Bill.
"Then come at me; Ulfric Svarogson!" Bill snarled
*Back at the town*
To everyone's surprise Hera was holding her own, and BEATING, the sun god with just that one little knife
"Gah! Fucking bitch!" the fire god snapped and swung his hatchet at her face, but missed it as she had ducked.
"He won't fail me! Bill will beat your "sons"." Hera answered, lunging her knife at his side. "And you won't beat me. Trained by my children, even step children. Gods of war, of battle and of hunting. They have tried to help and heal me over the years, and the training has helped that." She added, her slash causing a gash that healed. This was, in the end, a fruitless fight as only Monsters can kill Gods
"Enough!" A patrolwoman shouted making the fight cease. "What in the name of the multiple afterlives is going on?"
"He attacked me and wants to kill my Familia, sealing the woman in it into slavery. All of which is illegal." Hera informed confidently
"Is this TRUE?!" The patrolwoman snapped and glared at Svarog
He didn't answer with a dignified answer but this "Fuck off, Rubble-Stout cunt." And his eyes were glaring with an evil stare
Hera glared and punched him hard in the face, knocking him out
"Fucking bastard...I-I'm sorry Ms." Hera answered
"No...No that...That's alright...How far can gods fall?" the patrolwoman asked and understood. "Carry-carry on with your shopping."
"Can you call help for my Familia?" She asked nervously
"Maybe. Where are they?" The dwarven patrolwoman answered while tying up Svarog
"The dungeon. Is that a problem?" Hera asked
"Yes...If it's just the upper levels, it's not a problem. But if they're down in the lower levels...it'll be tricky." The dwarf woman answered
"They're not high level adventurers. They wouldn't go deeper than the first boss." Hera answered
*Outside the dungeon*
"How...Long...Till you end?!" Zane snarled
Bill panted and got his sword up "I can do this all day."
"You're strong..." Filch added
"Yeah...And you three...are dick-bags." Sachi responded
"I'll enjoy enslaving you." Ulfric spoke rushing to her only for be blocked by Bill
Bill's eyes where narrowed, his skill activating as he was surrounded by white/blue flames
"You WON'T enslave her." Bill responded
"Fire? We are FORGED by it!" Ulfric spoke burning flames on his sword and punched Bill in his stomach.
He stumbled back before slashing with his own blade
"ARGH!" Ulfric yelled as his sword hand was cleaved off by Hera's Charm.
"Brother!" Zane and Filch called out, the middle brother shot an arrow into Sachi's side as she was distracted by Bill's assault.
"SACHI!" He yelled in shock
Bill's blood ran cold, his face frozen in fear as he saw his friend fall to the ground with an arrow in her side. His body seemed to move slower on a different plain of time...That is, until he turned to the archer brother...and ran at him cleaving his extended arm off at the joint; his fire was burning a brilliant blue flame, like his eyes and he didn't stop there...he ran at the oldest brother and slammed him to the ground. He was like a blue bolt of lightning, the brother's eyes couldn't keep up. "Sachi, Sachi hold on!" Bill spoke as he was now by Sachi's side. The sound of the brothers seething in pain as they were now one arm less, than they started. They all cauterised their wounds with a fire spell, but their screams were internal trying to roar
"It...It hurts! F-Fuck! B-Bill...It hurts!" She cried
"I know, I know. Just. Just hold on Sachi. This...This is gonna hurt for a minute. Okay? Only a minute." Bill reassured her, pulling a arrow from his own quiver he made her bite down on it. He tilted her to the side and dragged the arrow out from her. "A little more. Just a little more Sachi."
She was still crying from the pain...and the younger brothers fainted from theirs. The oldest breathed heavily seeing that Bill was trying to save her...And he noticed something...Something about Bill's technique, the way he moved, the way he fought...And his face...it all clicked. And he was doing all he could to stay awake.
"It's out. It's okay now." Bill spoke as he removed her mouth arrow and made her drink a health potion.
"Bill." she sniffed, hugging him "Thank you."
"It's gonna be okay Sachi...I promise." He spoke, taking his cloak and wrapped it around her wound like a large gauze. "I've got something to finish. Okay?"
"Go..." She spoke before passing out.
Bill laid her down gently and then turned to Ulfric "You...!" he spoke walking with his flame still going
"Bill...Bill wait...There's...There's something...You need to know." Ulfric spoke
"I'm not interested in anything you have to say." Bill answered gripping Ulfric by the scruff of his shirt and pulled him up
"We're brothers!" He panted seeing the ice blue in Bill's eyes fade
"Wh-What? No. No we're not!" Bill double-took then followed it with his anger again. "As if I'd be related to you!"
"Alaric...He's our father. You...look like him! You look like us!" Ulfric answered
"Stop. LYING!" Bill snarled
He punched the man in the face in anger, knocking his helmet off
"It...it's true. Our father...He left...When we we young...Our mother remembered him...Told us...His name..." Ulfric continued
"Shut up!" Bill shouted punching him again
"GAH! He...Left us swords! Old swords!" Ulfric responded coughing up blood
Upon hearing that Bill's fire cooled down and the colour drained from his face. "That...That can't...You HAVE to be lying..." He panted
"We...Used them...They were 50 years old...Beyond repair...They broke, when we killed our first creatures..." Ulfric answered on the ground
Each word Ulfric answered was exactly what happened to Bill...Almost identical.
It was creepy. No... no it couldn't be!
"Tell me...Brother...Were you born...Wanting something...? Wanting gold? Wanting power?" Ulfric breathed heavily "Or just...wanting?"
"I wanted to help people." He glared "I wanted a story."
Ulfric laughs while coughing lightly "Then...You're one...of the good ones..." He fell unconscious
As Ulfric fell unconscious, Bill went over to Sachi who was still breathing and lifted her carefully. "Hold on Sachi...Hold on." He whispered
"Bill!" Hera's voice called out
"I'm alright...I'm fine...Sachi's hurt." Bill answered, he should've felt exhausted, he should have been drained from using his Farna...But he wasn't. He didn't feel overexerted, he just felt a normal level of tiredness.
"What happened to them?" the dwarf patrolwoman asked
"...Me." Bill answered honestly
*Time skip*
Sachi was back in the hospital healing up from the ordeal, her wounds were being bound with magic and expert surgery. Bill was still awake, waiting for the doctors to tell him his familia would be alright. "Bill, what happened back there?" Hera asked kindly; but he didn't respond, stone silent and kept his eyes on Sachi's door. "Bill, speak to me."
"... They were my brothers." He muttered
"Wh-what? Bill...What do you mean?" Hera asked with a double take.
"The oldest...He said...We were brothers." Bill answered
Hera blinked in confusion
"He said, that our father...Was "Alaric"; and he told me his story: it was almost exactly like mine...Almost to the letter." Bill answered
"He must've been lying; people lie Bill." Hera answered
"...But I've never told anyone about my family life...I've never met them prior to coming here...So how could he know?" Bill spoke in worry.
Hera frowned and hugged him
"Mr Bill, I've some news." the doctor spoke coming through the room
"Is Sachi okay?" Bill asked
"Ms Sachi is fine. Your quick thinking helped slow the wound...But about the three brothers-" The doctor answered
"What about them?" Bill asked seriously
"The eldest is awake. He wants to speak to you." the doctor answered
"I don't want to." Bill answered
"He's asking for you specifically." the doctor answered seriously
Bill clenched his fist, shaking
"Fine...But I doubt we've much to say." Bill answered as he followed the doctor to Ulfric.
"Five minutes only." the doctor answered
Ulfric was being maintained by powerful healing spells and potions, the cauterisation was crude so the stumps had to be cleaned and wrapped properly; his sword wounds weren't nearly as bad. "Bill...Glad...You could come..." Ulfric spoke through heavy breathing.
"What do you want?" Bill asked
"Truth...I asked the doctors...for a Lineage Spell." Ulfric answered
"Why do you want that?" Hera asked
"What is it? What's a Lineage Spell?" Bill asked innocently
"It's a spell used for determining bloodlines...Finding children or parents...Sorcerers use it to confirm children or parents...so no-one could con others...It's always true...It never lies..." Ulfric answered
"It's how some gods can keep an eye on their progeny." Hera added
"Bill...We ARE brothers..." Ulfric answered "I KNOW it!"
"...I still don't believe you..." Bill shook his head that is, until a doctor came with a sheet of paper.
"Mr Bill...Mr Ulfric, I have news." the doctor spoke
"We're brothers...Aren't we?" Ulfric panted, Bill denying it.
"Yes. Yes you are. Same father, different mothers." The doctor revealed the paper that the spell was cast upon. "Half brother."
"Half or not...We're brother's Bill..." Ulfric answered
"No...No...You...This can't be." Bill snatched the paper from the doctor's hand and examined it...And no matter what he denied...Bill was related to these three brothers!
"It doesn't matter what that test says..." Bill said as he calmed down, Hera putting her hand on his shoulder helping "I do not recognise people like you or your brothers as my siblings. Who you are... is more important than blood." Bill said coldly and clearly
"Fine...But we ARE blood...And you should know: We're not the only ones our father had." Ulfric sighed and fell to sleep.
"... Not the... only ones?" He muttered
"I'm afraid time is up Mr Bill, the patients need rest." the doctor spoke
"No, no. He...He said "we're not the only ones". I-" Bill spoke in worry
"I'm sure those can be questions that can be answered for another day. Right now: they need rest." The doctor ordered
"Come on Bill." Hera urged
"Okay...Okay..." Bill nodded "Keep-keep an eye on Sachi...Please."
"She'll be out of here before you know it." the doctor reassured him.
Hera nodded in thanks, leading Bill away
'Others? How many "others" are there?' Bill thought
