"Tired?" Cranel smugly asked the exhausted-looking Bell.

"No, I'm feeling just peachy and awesome, not like I got slammed down repeatedly by a giant hulking boulder," Bell responded snarkily.

"Hey did anyone else have weird dreams last night?" Nods went around the room, Aria gave Artemis, Aiz, and Ryuu a suggestive look, and the girls looked over to see their future counterparts giving them the same look.

"Ya, I was having a really bad nightmare, but suddenly my nightmare ended and I felt warm, and I heard voices like people were talking, though I'm fairly certain that was just a dream," Bell responded, Artemis, Aiz, and Ryuu blushed even deeper as their future selves gave them the look, thankfully no one noticed.

Cranel narrowed his eyes at his younger self, contemplative.

"Bell, when we're done with breakfast, we need to talk," Cranel said. Bell only nodded in response.

After Breakfast

"Before we go, I need you to go get a status update" Cranel looked at Hestia and Bell, who nodded, though did so Bell hesitantly.

Five Minutes Later

"OH MY GOSH!" Hesia's scream was so loud it could be heard all across Orario. "Bell…You-you-you're LEVEL 5!" Hestia thankfully wasn't so loud this time.

Everyone ran into the room with them except the people who looked shocked and began to speak over each other.

"Bell, let's go," Cranel ordered. Bell looked confused at Cranel's sudden change, it had happened this morning when he woke up, even the futures saw the difference in Cranel and were worried about him, but when they asked him about it, he gave a very vague response, "The time is near"

Arriving at the Northern wall, both of them stared out at the beautiful mountain ranges.

"So…Cranel what did you want to talk about?" Bell asked nervously. He was insanely nervous, Cranel no longer look kind, fun-loving, and like Bell was, he was looking solemn and stoic.

"Bell, let me explain to you what is going to need to happen to you. I am going to break you physically and rebuild you so that you can handle the strength and strain of your Babylon powers, as well as your spiritual powers. Though your mind is the issue. I have to put you through the most painful and excruciating torture and hellish pain you've ever felt. You see Bell, no matter how pure your heart is the power will compel you and the darkness will try hard to corrupt you. Finally Bell we lied to you and everyone else from this time, I'm not just the great spirit of the heavens, I'm also the great spirit of light and hope, and by extension have a deep connection with things of relation to them, such as love, and strangely despair and darkness, I have a deep connection to. So let me explain what that means.

It means that I have much more power than I originally told you. My power is directly tied to the light and hope in the world, in terms of light it is both literal and metaphorical. Let me explain the risk of all of this, so I know everything that happens under/within the light, and some of what happens in the dark, and I can feel the light and hope leave and enter people. It will destroy your mental and emotional health, knowing all of those horrors will drive you crazy, and feeling people lose hope will kill your happiness in time.

It gets worse though. Let's take the power of light for instance, it will compel you to destroy any and everything that threatens that light, like the bad people that want to make this world darker, or even if they do it by accident, it doesn't matter. It will happen, and if you're not mentally strong enough it will control you and make you follow your instinct.

That is why I have to make sure you are mentally prepared. Originally I wasn't prepared when I unlocked that power so I went on a rampage and I had to be stopped before I could hurt anyone. I don't have enough time and it will be almost impossible to get you prepared enough. But there is an upside, the ones you love the most will keep you tethered, keep you grounded.

So Bell, soon we will be forced to leave and when we do, our future selves, and by that I mean me, Lion, Wallenstein, and Diana will give our younger selves our power and knowledge. So when I give you mine it will prepare you completely to use the power." Cranel finally finished. (Finally, I want to die, my brain is melting as I write this, yet I'm very stubborn so I refuse to stop writing til I'm done! *BTW this is future me, just to clarify I was writing this at like 2 AM*)

Bell promptly passed out. Fondly sighing Cranel propped him up against the wall and let him sleep.

Time skip till Bell wakes up

"Th-tha-that's a lot to take in," Bell said hoarsely, his voice dry. "So, can I ask a couple of questions?" Bell asked. Cranel nodded. Normally anyone else would have thought Bell was crazy for not freaking out more, but Cranel knew Bell since he was Bell, so he knew Bell was still processing so that's why he isn't being and acting so shocked, and the shock will settle in soon.

"So, who exactly gave us these powers?" Bell asked, at this, Cranel sighed for what felt like the millionth time that day, which in all seriousness, it probably was.

Warning this next part may be controversial and I apologize if this upsets you, but I will not be changing this.

"Our powers were given to us at birth by a being that is higher than the gods. This being created the universe and everything in it, though I suppose calling them a singular being would be a misnomer as they are three yet one. They are a trinity, they are thee trinity, they are the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit." Cranel finished.

Bell looked shocked. In the library when he would sometimes go, he would read of a being(s) older than even the most ancient of gods, a being that walked the earth millennia before the first god descended. He heard tales of that person, the person that could walk on water, could command things that were known as demons, he believed this man to just have been using magic, but magic wasn't discovered and utilized for another two millennia. It seemed he would need to look more into this mysterious person or people that gave him these powers.

"But why…Why would the creator of the universe give me, a nobody such amazing powers that are directly related to what He stands for?" Bell asked confused beyond belief.

"Because He saw favor in us Bell. He saw who we would become, our pure heart and soul, He knew that power would be needed, and He chose us to carry out the mission." Cranel finished, but Bell picked up on something he said.

"Why would this power be needed? And what mission?!" Cranel suddenly looked a little bit paler.

"I've said too much, you will know in time Bell, but right now is not the time for you to know everything, you still have much to learn, but when we leave you will gain everything you need to know through my memories," Cranel said. Bell could only nod, too afraid to argue or say anything in response.

Ending the controversial area, sorry again if it upset any of you.

"Let's head back," Cranel said.

"Yea, it's almost dinner time," Bell responded, and as if on cue both their stomachs growled.

I'm cutting this chapter early because I really am not sure what else to write. So basically Bell told the part about the domains and how he got them, but not the drawbacks.

Please be patient for the next chapter, I'm hoping to make it a big one!

Also please comment on any suggestions or any help you can or want to give me for the story, and you know suggestions about what you want to see helps a lot too! (And of course, someone saying that they like my story makes me happy also)
