Until then, check out the Author's Notes at the end.

Epilogue: Allies Unite
Bell was sitting down, after training with the others. He was getting prepared for any possible outcome on the Wargames. Plus, another part of him is concerned with Loki. After the declaration of Wargames, she left the party and wanted to see her.

However, he wasn't allowed as she doesn't want to see anyone at the moment. He left and knew why she reacted the way she did. A memory that she has suppressed for years just woke up, and now she is trying to forget it. He knew she had to confront it one day. He will have to wait until the Wargames are over.

He knew whatever happened, he would be

He waited for a while until he heard the door open. In came Lilli, with a smile on her face. "Master Bell."

"Hey, Lilli."

She found a place to sit down and said "So far, some of the Ishtar Familia are training, while others is just business as usual."

He agreed on her assessment "Ishtar will not be able to use all of them, considering it would be bad for business on that day. She is going to use her strongest."

"Lilli understands."

The door then opened and in came Hestia, as she sat on another chair near him. "It's going to be a siege."

Bell smirked, "Perfect. Who drew the type of Wargames in the Pantheon?"

"Hermes."

"Good. Sadly, Hermes familia would be too busy with the big sting operation with Loki and Freya familia."

Hestia nodded "Who are we waiting for?"

Then a knock was heard and Bell yelled "Enter!"

Ryuu, Anya, Chloe, Lunoir, Hashana, Aura, and Naaza arrived. They found places to sit down, as Miach arrived as well, with a vial on hand.

"We arrived, meow." Anya smiled.

Bell looked at Anya "Anya, this might cause a conflict of interest in the Wargames."

"What do you meown?"

"Ishtar won't let anyone from Loki and Freya be involved in the Wargames, and well…"

She realized what he was getting was a meaning "I will still stay to hear, meow." The other girls were let in on Anya's dark secret, and her past. The other girls sympathize with her of what happened and why she left the Freya familia.

Things have been getting somewhat better with Allen, but she wished there was a way to talk to Freya. Syr suggested waiting until this problem is solved and then if they could get an audience with Freya.

She agreed to it.

For now, Anya needed to know what the plan was to take down Ishtar.

"Very well then."

Then in came Take and his familia, with Welf and Hephaestus. "Alright. Looks like that is everyone, but the other person, who arrived earlier, would be back in a moment."

The other nodded and listened to what Bell had to say.

"Hestia told me it was going to be a siege. We will be the ones that will have to conquer the place."

Hashana smirked "Oh really. Pretty simple it seems."

He shook his head "Nothing is simple, considering that Phryne is the captain of the familia, she has to fall.."

Aura said "I do believe we have enough high level adventurers to deal with her?"

Ryuu said "She won't be easy to deal with. She can take heavy hits and damage, and she is a level 5, from what I heard. Whether she is mid level 5 or high, I cannot really say."

Chloe then added "Even if we mew what side she is on level 5, the others won't make it easy for us, meow."

Bell nodded "I already have an idea how to have someone on the inside giving us a way in."

This surprised the others and Lunoire said "Okay,we go in and take out the captain. But it isn't going to be easy."

"No, which is why I need Ryuu and Hashana to face her and take her out."

Hashana sighed "She isn't going to be easy. I already have two draws against her, and I can't promise that I could beat her this time. Even with the new enchanted armor, it still would be the question, would it be enough?"

Ryuu nodded in agreement. She could fight all she wanted, but a level 5 is a level 5.

A soft knock was heard and Bell smiled "I wouldn't worry about it, as I do have an ace in the hole that could help you, Ryuu."

She raised her eyebrow. As the door opened, she turned to see who it was and her eyes widened in shock.

With brown walnut hair, indigo colored eyes, and an elegant dress, she walked with a smile on her face. "Hello. I heard you needed to bring justice against Evilus."

Those that knew her were shocked to see her, Bell was smiling, Ryuu nearly fainted seeing her.

"Yes we do, Lady Astraea."

Hostess of Fertility
Mia looked across the table, a few familiar faces from her old familia, particularly Ottarl. Ottarl, despite being the captain and the strongest member of the familia, still feared the dwarven woman in question.

"So, let me get this straigh: Freya will allow me to get temporal help during the Wargame event in this place, while my girls are going to help out. Is that correct?"

Ottarl nodded "Yes."

She looked at each member and then asked "Raise your hands if any of you know how to cook food."

Only 6 did.

"Okay, how about serving?"

3 raised their hands.

She sighed and knew she would be fine, considering Noelle would be helping out. Syr got her to serve better and she wouldn't mind keeping an eye open on her adopted niece.

"Fine. You got yourself a deal."

Ottarl let go of the air he was holding on for some reason.

"Just make sure all of my girls come out alive and well, otherwise I will bring my old shovel out again."

He nodded immediately. The other members have heard stories of this woman, and could see why Ottarl feared her, her aura was screaming of mother bear.

One of them spoke "When do we start working?"

She smirked "Tomorrow morning."

In a far away land
A man, wearing his hood, was walking at the nearly finished battle. He kept walking until he was confronted by two people.

"I, Dale of Level 4, will take you out!"

"I, Tristen of Level 4, will avenge my friends!"

Both went right after him, charging one with a spear, while the other a sword.

The man had a serene smile and easily blocked both attacks. Both were shocked and then were disarmed. He punches one of them hard in the chest, sending him flying while the other is given fast punches on the chest and face. Then he finished with an open palm strike.

He then took a deep breath and exhaled "Ahhh….I love the smell of fire and war in the afternoon." He chuckled as he saw the other man was barely getting up. "You have so much spirit. Not to worry, I will give you a chance to run. Otherwise, you will wish you did, in death."

The man was trembling. He couldn't understand how he could have lost to him. He was a level 4, and began to assume he is a higher level than him. His hands were trembling.

"I would suggest you head to Orario and tell of our invasion." He gave a wider grin, as he took off his hood, showing his face.

The man was frightened. He had to run, something inside of him was telling him to run.

"Now….run."

He ran out of the battlefield as fast as possible.

"Oi, why did you let him go?!"

He turned with an annoyed look. Seeing the god of war, he replied "I grew bored after playing around. Plus, having a survivor tell Orario we are coming would be fun." He purred.

He snorted "Right. Well, anyways, any gods around here?"

"I don't think so. I assume they evacuated from here."

"Right…..well, we are going to take Orario as you said, right?"

"Of course we are. We have people on the inside. Once we start our invasion, we will let the people on the inside cause panic and would sandwich them."

"I like your thinkin'!" He then said "I have been waiting to invade Orario for years, but Zeus and Hera are always in the way. Now, without them, they are...weak."

The man replied "I wouldn't call Orario weak, considering they have adventurers fighting monsters in their area."

He waved his hand "Eh, nothing to worry about, we have numbers and you, of course."

The man said nothing, putting his hood back on. "Fool. Gods are nothing but fools. Not to worry, your time will come to an end, just have to play nice and put them out of their misery."

30th Floor

A large minotaur is resting after taking out a very strong creature. His body felt stronger with each victory, which stone he would eat.

Then came a mermaid of sort and shyly gave him a bowl of water. He looked at her and she smiled shyly. He went to drink it and felt relieved.

"Hmmm…"

She smiled, knowing he was good.

"I am getting stronger. I need to win against the white haired warrior. He made a promise at the time. I don't care how long it has been, but I will fight harder, and when I do see him, I will beat him."

The End.

A/N:

Yep, Astraea returns and helps out the Hestia familia! So we are going to have a big Wargame with Hestia vs. Ishtar. Of course Asterios is in the fold and he will be in the story, much, much later.

A lot of things will happen in the third story, from fighting new enemies to new women in the fold for Bell. So let us be patient and see how it plays out.

The story would be out in January, as I am going to take a break from writing. That way, I will have some creative writing and more ideas thrown in. Until then take care all and see in New Years!
