Hey Guys, Crescent Rider here and I'm back with another chapter. But before you continue, I received a question about what my character appearance associates with.
Here are the answers: Her Bodily Figure, Hair Color, and Eye Color are similar to Artoria Lily, her clothes are similar to the Hassan of a Hundred Faces, and her hooded cloak is similar to Medusa Lily.
As for the daggers, they aren't like Karambit Knives. Just Curved Knives, but the color is similar to the dirks of Hassans.
Lastly, I have a few ideas for two Crossover fanfics and you'll find them at the very end of this chapter. Let me know what you think of them.
That is all and enjoy the chapter!
As Bell and Nadya sleep on the same bed together, the latter is in the midst of a dream and finds herself unable to move, speak, see, or feel in her current position. For her dream is void of any light.
However, she could hear a conversation around her...
"So the child has chosen a God. The choice is better than anticipated"
"Had she not, someone else would have found her"
"Or she would have found her"
'What...? What are they talking about?' Nadya muttered,
"She is beyond her reach,"
"And it must stay that way"
"She cannot have her or anyone affiliated"
"She mustn't fall to her"
'Whose her? Who are they talking about,' Nadya inquired, though no one listened
Then a new but authoritative voice spoke among the rest.
"Silence"
If Nadya could feel anything, it would be chills crawling down her very spine. This voice is unlike anything she has heard in her life.
"What hast thou chosen is done. Cease thy bickering or hand over thy head"
The voices seemingly stopped after one sentence from him, and then a large pair of burning flames appeared before the girl.
"Keep thy faith, Child. Or Thou shall suffer thy wrath of Vow..."
As soon as flames envelop the void, the dream ends and Nadya sharply opens her eyes. She then immediately sat up from the bed with a gasp, and pants as she looked upon her surroundings.
It was the same room she now sleeps in, and after she recollects herself. She takes a deep breath and relieves herself of her dream.
"Is something wrong?" Bell asked as he sat up, and rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand,
"I-It's nothing... Just some dream, that's all," Nadya assured,
"I see," Bell understood, let out a yawn, and stretched his arms around,
The first to leave the bed was Nadya as she went to wash herself up and switch to her usual attire. Once finished, she went up while Bell went to wash himself up as well.
Nadya would wait for him by the church altar. After he wore his usual attire, the two made their way out of the church and
Orario Streets
Bell and Nadya decided to spend the day at the stalls of today's Monster Feria with Hestia still out of town. Then they soon heard the call of a Catwoman from the Hostess of Fertility, "Hey! Wait up, white hair! I need to ask mew a favor"
Bell and Nadya turn to the woman, "Oh, good meowing,"
"G-Good morning," Bell greeted back,
As the two approached her, the Catwoman handed a purse to Bell's hands, "So what I want is for mew to give this wallet to that airhead, Syr,"
"Um..." Bell pondered, "I'm sorry. I still don't follow you,"
"What she means is that waitress, Syr, left her wallet behind and she wants you to bring it to her," Nadya explained, "With this year's Monsterphilia, she may have left work to attend the festival.
"Correct," an elf Waitress said as she appeared with a bucket filled with towels, "Syr took the day off for the festival and Anya wants you to bring Syr's wallet to her. She's probably finding things difficult without her wallet, Please help, Cranel-san"
"Please, meow," Anya asked as she popped up between them,
"All right, you can count on us," Bell assured, "Also, what's Monsterphilia?"
"Meownsterphilia is a huge festival the Ganesha familia holds once a year!" Anya explained,
"They take over the coliseum for an entire day, and tame monsters brought up from the Dungeon in front of the whole crowd," Ryu explained,
"It's a death-defying spectacle, meowre or less," Anya summarized,
Nadya was aware that the monsters are often captured, and brought back on certain quests. But hearing about this festival made her curious to know more about this event. But to do that, she needed to go to the coliseum and see these death-defying spectacles in person.
Thus, Bell and Nadya left the Hostess of Fertility to find Syr and return her wallet.
They would pass through the marching crowd of people, but they would stop in between the stalls and gaze upon the number of people who wished to attend this event.
"Wow. It's just like they said!" Bell remarked, "Finding Syr won't be easy,"
"If you want, I'll climb the rooftop and search from above?" Nadya suggested,
"I'm not so sure they'll like that," Bell said,
"Bell-kun!" The two immediately recognized the voice and turned to see Hestia standing near them,
"Kami-sama," Bell said, while Nadya straightened herself and bowed to her, "Why are you here?"
"Because... I missed you, I guess!" Hestia responded, then she turned to Nadya, "And I see that Nadya tagged along with you,"
"Yeah," Bell said, "Also, I missed you too,"
"Great! I knew it! You and I share an incredible bond!" Hestia enthusiastically proclaimed, before grabbing onto Bell's arm,
"Um, Kami-Sama... What are you..." Bell stammered as Hestia started pulling him,
As for Nadya, she just follows them and overhears their conversation, "Let's go on a date, Bell-kun!"
Bell gasped while Nadya still followed them, "Wait, Kami-sama! I've been asked to find someone!"
"Oh, yeah? Then let's look for them while we go on our date!" Hestia said, and held Bell by the hand, "Killing two birds with one stone,"
"No, I can't..." Bell tried to reason, but Hestia kept pulling him towards a food stall,
"Mister, give us two crepes!" Hestia ordered,
"Sure thing!" The Food Vendor replied,
"Kami-sama," Bell called, though Hestia focused on the crepes than him,
Once the crepes are finished, the vendor passes the crepes to Hestia and Bell. That's when the former recalled Nadya as she pulled out her wallet and paid for the crepes.
"Thank you," The Food Vendor said as he took the money,
"Huh? Oh right, you're still with us," Hestia recalled, then an idea came into mind, "I've got it, why don't you go around and continue the search while Bell and I go on our date? You can try to enjoy yourself while you're at it,"
"Are you sure, Hestia-sama?" Nadya inquired,
"Sure I am, just do what you want to do," Hestia said,
"In that case, Bell, how about you hand the wallet to me," Nadya requested, "If I see her, I'll give it to her, no problem,"
"Uh... Sure," Bell pulls out the wallet, and passes it to Nadya's hands,
"Enjoy yourselves," Nadya said and departed from the two,
"You as well!" Hestia said and waved at her,
A Few Minutes Later...
Nadya not only searched the area for Syr but asked a few people nearby to see if they saw someone who matched Syr's description. Sadly, she couldn't get anything from them as no one had seen her around the place.
At this point, Nadya learned that this task was seemingly difficult. But decided to keep trying until she managed to find Syr and return the wallet to her.
Then disaster struck when she heard people screaming about a monster that had broken loose from the coliseum. When Nadya turned to the source, she saw a Silverback with metal cuffs and plates and appeared to be in pursuit of something.
That's when she heard that the monster was chasing after a couple. A Young Woman with black hair, and a man with white hair.
Nadya recognized the two and decided to put her search on hold as she quickly pursued the Silverback. When she saw it climbing on top of the buildings, Nadya relied on her agility as she scaled upward by jumping onto some boxes and then grabbing a hold of a window sill as she jumped forward.
She then quickly climbed her way up the wall and reached the roof of the building. However, the Silverback had already left the roof and chased the pair into Daedalus Street, the rumored area which is said to be similar to a dungeon.
But she paid no attention to this rumor as she pursued the Silverback by rooftops. She would thoroughly look through every open area and worry that the Silverback may have found the two first. She feared that she may killed them already.
However, Nadya is determined to find the monster first and runs faster than she did before.
As soon as she spots the Silverback in an open area, she maneuvers herself to an area where she can reach its back. From there, Bell had thrown something at the Silverback's face and seemingly blinded it with bright light.
While the Silverback roared from temporary blindness, Nadya took the opportunity to jump towards the Silverback's back, pulled both her daggers out, and struck both blades into its back.
The Silverback now roars in pain and violently tries to shake Nadya off its back. But she held on while Bell helped Hestia on her feet.
"Nadya!" Hestia yelled as she spotted her, and Bell gasped at her sudden appearance,
"Go! I'll buy you time!" Nadya yelled, pulled one of her blades out, and repeatedly stabbed the Silverback's back several times,
Causing it to become more violent in shaking her off its back.
Bell decided to take this opportunity and run with Hestia. Though he would glance at Nadya as she remained strong against such a monster.
But while they're gone, Nadya is soon caught by one of the Silverback's hands, pulls her out of its back, and throws her towards a stone fountain. Shattering it in a single throw.
As Nadya rolls against the ground, the Silverback roars once more and goes on a short rampage due to it being blind from Bell's previous attack.
Nadya now struggled to pick herself up as the force of the Silverback's throw had blown serious damage to her body. She even coughed some blood out of her mouth and it was a sign that some of her ribs may have broken from the impact.
Before she could pass out, Bell managed to get to her and pulled out the potions that he received from Miach. He popped the cork open and shoved the contents down her throat.
While the potion takes effect, Bell carries her into his arms and places her in a narrow alleyway where the Silverback won't reach her.
"Here," Bell said as he handed her the second potion,
Nadya takes it off his hand, stares at it, then back at Bell, "But... What about you?"
"Don't worry," Bell assured as he straightened his posture and faced the other side of the alleyway, "Because I won't lose anyone of my family..."
Nadya looked confused, and then Bell charged forth. She heard a clash, then the roars of the Silverback faint as it distanced itself from the area. It then occurred to her that Bell was going to face the Silverback alone and such a task may as well be suicide since a monster like that is only found deep in the Dungeon.
Thus, Nadya had to act quickly as she bit the cork of the bottle, popped it right open, and drank it all down in one gulp. As she throws the bottle aside, she stands and slowly goes after him while the potion slowly takes effect.
Along the way, she picked up the dagger that she had dropped earlier and chased after Bell before the Silverback killed him. Even as she felt the pain within her body, she pressed onward with a singular mindset as her motivator.
'Bell... You'd risk your life to save someone you've been with for a moment... For that regard, I'd rather fight than stay where am I,' Nadya declared, and increased her speed, 'I am a member of the Hestia Familia, and when there's a fight against my Familia! I will prevail as well!'
Determined, Nadya chases after the Silverback. But such determination also triggered a particular skill she had inherited from joining the Hestia Familia.
Faithful Vow was coming to effect...
That is it for this chapter, everyone. As for the crossover ideas I've mentioned at the start. Here are two of them.
The First revolves around Cyberpunk 2077/Teaching Feelings: The details are all about an OC Professional Ripperdoc who refuses to apply Cyberware on own his body for personal reasons, and a Young Female Assistant he saved from the streets.
It's an original series and all canon characters are only mentioned rather than involved with the plot I have.
The Second revolves around One Punch Man/Pokemon: The details are all about a different Mew, finding a tear from its world and crossing through it out of pure curiosity. It ends up somewhere in City-Z, encounters Saitama, and becomes his friend.
I am aware of the theme and gore of OPM as well as Mew's powers and personality. But that is why I made this idea in the first place. For Saitama, I thought it'd be good for him to have a companion who's powerful and playful by his side.
Whether Mew maintains a human form or original form in the story. That's up to you guys.
That is all I have to say, and I will see you all in the next chapter!
