Bell stood alone by the docks of Melen. He watched the hustle and bustle of ships coming and leaving from port.

Seagulls flew above him, letting out their cries to signal sailors of land. Dock workers used cranes and pulleys and cranes to unload and load cargo onto ships.

Ships littered the endless stretch of blue that made up the port town of Melen. But one ship in particular was the one Bell had his eye on.

The wooden ship with the black sail and red emblem of Kali is what he looked at. It's crew little more than a few amazons left behind on the ship.

Bell examined the ship carefully, noting any weaknesses he could use to his advantage. It was made of wood, so it would be pretty flammable. He could shoot icicles through the sail to make it useless or destroy the mast entirely.

But one thing kept bothering Bell. It was a nagging feeling in the back of his head. How did Ouranus and, in turn, Loki get the information of this meeting in the first place?

Also, why meet at Melen, where they could be followed and watched? Why not meet at Telskyura, where Kali had absolute control over her domain?

It didn't make sense to Bell, and he knew Loki must be wondering the same thing as well. At least, he hoped she was. He felt a gentle sea breeze blow in, causing his hair to sway lightly.

He could smell the salt from the endless blue, and he wondered. How would the Night King travel across the sea? Would his army of the dead march on the sea floor til they reached their destination? Or would they construct boats and sail?

Did the dead know how to sail? Where would they land if they did?

Bell's hand rested on the pommel of his sword as he felt multiple pairs of eyes staring at his back. Were the amazons onto him already? Or did they just find him as a man they'd like to sleep with before they left Melen?

As far as he knew, they didn't know he was Loki familia. At least not yet. He's just some wandering traveler who's just passing through Melen. Not someone from the Loki familia.

"Do you like the ship's child?" A woman asked.

She was an Amazon with sand-colored hair and a scarf covering the lower half of her face. Bell could see two kukri's hanging at her waist.

"I do I find them very interesting. How they're able to float on water and move. It's just so cool, and I've never seen anything like it before," Bell answered.

"Is this your first time seeing them?"

Bell could feel many eyes watching from behind them, but he put them in the back of his mind.

"It is. I can't believe ships this large can float without sinking. It's so cool."

The woman had a slight smile that Bell couldn't see as it was covered by her scarf. To her, Bell was just a child being able to see the world for the first time.

"It is pretty amazing. So what's a boy your age doing here? Where are your parents?"

"Oh, I don't have any. I've been on my own ever since my grandpa died. After he did, I decided to explore the world."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Are those your grandfather's swords?" She asked.

Bell nodded. "Yup, they've been passed down for generations. They've served me well in my travels."

The woman nodded before glancing at the boy. "You see that ship over there with the black sail."

Bell nodded. "Uh-huh. Looks kind of scary cause of the sail. Makes it feel like danger is approaching."

The woman chuckled. "Well, that's my goddess's ship. She rewarded us with a vacation to thank us for our hard work."

"Oh, that must be nice being part of a familia. It's like one big happy family, right?"

The woman cringed hearing those words but still smiled. "I guess you could say that. What about you? What familia do you belong to?"

"I belong to the Hecate familia. We wander around a lot, so she's never in one place for too long. I like traveling alone as it's more quiet and peaceful that way. I get to enjoy nature and not have someone nagging my ear off," Bell lied.

"That must get pretty lonely."

Bell shrugged. "Eh, not really. Besides, people like you who take time to talk to a stranger you don't know make it worthwhile. I get to meet so many interesting people that way. Like you"

The woman chuckled again. "You always talk to women like this."

"No, I just don't see the need to be hostile to people for no reason. The world is already full of hate. Why add on to it? Oh, it looks like your ship is leaving?"

The woman looked out to the docks and saw Kali's ship already out at sea.

"No need to worry about that. They're just finding a new place to dock, so we won't have to pay taxes to keep our ship there."

Bell nodded. "I get that. Man, I hate taxes. Had to help Grandpa pay them in our village before he died,"

"Yo Bache, you coming?"

The who Bell now knew as Bache turned and waved her sister off.

"We have a few hours before I'm needed, Argana. Go on without me."

Argana scoffed. "Whatever. Have fun with your new boy toy or whatever."

Bell blushed a little while Bache flicked her sister off.

"Ignore her. She doesn't have a filter. Now, where were we?"

"Talking about how taxes suck."

"Oh, right, that. Yes, our ship is just going a little bit further down the coast and anchoring somewhere else. Therefore, we won't have to pay the nightly tax."

Bell nodded his head and noticed a vendor selling fireworks off to his right.

"Do you know what fireworks are?" Bache asked, noticing where Bell's gaze went.

Bell shook his head. "No, I don't. I've heard they can make a really loud noise, though."

"That's right, they can. You see, they have gunpowder and other things stuffed inside them, which causes a miniature explosion. Now, with fireworks, they can be used to create shapes in the sky made from colors," Bache explained.

Bell nodded his head, still playing the role of a gullible child. "That's cool. I might buy some later and light them. They seem fun. Have you ever seen fireworks before?"

Bache flinched, remembering the fireworks going off after her death match to level six. A brutal and bloody affair where she herself nearly died.

Only the strong survive in Telskyura.

"Yes, but it's been a while since I last saw them," Bache quietly said.

Bell picked up on the hesitance in her voice but remained quiet. Perhaps he could use this at a later time. Before Bell could utter another word, his stomach grumbled.

How long had he been standing here?

"Are you hungry, child?" Bache asked.

Bell nervously scratched his cheek. "Uh yeah, looks like in my excitement, I forgot to get breakfast. Heh heh"

Bache smiled before reaching out and ruffling his soft snow-white hair. This caused the boy to blush a little as he was caught off guard.

"Does she know I'm lying to her? Will she try to extract the information using her body?" Bell wondered.

"He's adorable. Kind of reminds me of Tiona in a way," Bache thought.

"Well, let's go get something to eat then," Bache said, taking her hand off his head.

"Ok. But why did you do that?" Bell asked.

"You just remind me of someone that I used to know. Say you haven't told me your name yet."

Bell wondered for a second if he should lie to her. But Raul or someone else could call out to him, and she'd wonder why he has two different names. So he made his decision.

"My name's Bell."

.

.

Bell and Bache sat by a seaside cafe overlooking the sea away from the port. Seagulls let out their calls, and a slight but gentle breeze was blowing.

Bache had taken her scarf off her face to eat, and Bell thought she was a rough-looking woman. She was still pretty, but her face commanded attention. He didn't know why she kept it covered. Both had just finished eating; small talk kept the two engaged with each other.

"So you told me your Grandfather died, causing you to set out wandering. But why leave your village? Weren't there others to take care of you?" Bache asked, setting her coffee down.

Bell turned his attention away from the ocean and back towards Bache. "I did. But I just couldn't handle the quiet. My house was once full of life and laughter. Now it's just quiet."

"I get that. Sometimes, the quiet can be worse than anything else. The sound of absolutely nothing can drive one insane after a while. I understand why you left."

"So what about you? How's life in Telskyura? I've heard some not-so-kind rumors on my travels." Bell asked.

Bache smiled and shook her head. "You wouldn't like any of the stories I have. None of them are pleasant, and I shouldn't tell such horrors to one as young as you."

Bell shrugged. "Alright, if that's your preference, I won't pry. But you had to have done something to wash out the bad?"

Bache looked out to the ocean and rested her head on her hand. The wind picked up, causing her hair to blow, and the sun made her skin glisten.

"There was another girl there. She should be around your age, probably a few years older. I used to recite hero stories to her, and she'd listen with these big, beady eyes like a puppy. She was kind of like a baby sister I'd always wanted. She left Telskyura a few years ago with her sister, and I haven't seen them since."

Bell felt bad for Bache, seeing as she lost someone she viewed fondly. But one question did pop into his mind.

"Why didn't you go with them? You obviously seem to care for the younger one," Bell asked.

Bache turned her attention back to him. A sad smile adorned her face. "I couldn't do that. Kali would hunt me down to the ends of the earth to get me back. I'm a valuable asset to her."

"Well, why not leave now? Orario's only a stone's throw away. Go there and join a big-name familia, and Kali won't be able to get you."

Bache chuckled. "I like your youthful optimism. Don't ever lose that. But it's not that simple. Sure, I could be safe for a while, but Kali would get me back in the end. She'd find a way."

Silence fell over the two as neither knew what to say. Bache picked up her coffee and finished it. Bell kept his gaze on her as she attached her scarf back to her face.

"It was a pleasure meeting you, Bell. Maybe we'll run into each other again someday. But I need to get going now. I have a meeting with my goddess that I need to attend. Keep your youthful optimism and live your life to the fullest."

Bell remained silent as Bache stood up and paid for their meals. She walked over to Bell and ruffled his hair again, liking how soft it felt between her fingers.

As she was departing, Bell called out to her.

"Bache. End of the day, your life is yours to control. Not your sisters or Kali's, but yours. So don't let your fear of her retaliation cloud your judgment. At the end of the day, you're a person, not an object."

Bache sadly smiled once again. He really did remind her of Tiona. Always wanting to help people.

"It's sweet you worry about me, Bell. But at the end of the day, even if I do leave, Kali will come after me. I'd have to look over my shoulder for the rest of my life. Goodbye, Bell. Thanks for treating me like a person and not something to be lusted over."

Bache walked away after that, not wanting to hear Bell's rebuttal. She didn't want to drag him into her mess. He was too much of an innocent boy for that.

"Yeah, no problem. Sorry for lying to you," Bell thought. After a few minutes, he got up from his chair and went back to where the rest of his familia was.

However, he accidentally bumped into a woman wearing a cloak on his way back.

"My apologies, I didn't see where I was going," Bell said.

Bell was able to see under the cloak and saw a golden-haired renard with emerald green eyes. Next to her was an Amazon with a scimitar at her waist.

"Oh, it's quite alright." The renard said.

Bell walked past the two women as the Amazon checked on the renard.

"Come on, Haruhime. Let's get you back to the hotel."

Bell kept walking until he arrived back at the Njord familia home, where Loki gave him his mission.

.

.

.

.

Bache arrived at the meeting point, which was a lavish inn. Only the rich merchants and tourists could afford to stay here. It had a marble floor with chandeliers hanging above the lobby.

The receptionist's desk was made of Paladin trees, which were a light grayish blue. They were known for their toughness and grew in the forests of Athens to the far southwest of Orario.

Dozens of tables were strewn across the lobby for people to eat and chat, with stairs leading up to a VIP area.

Bache made her way up those stairs and saw her sister Argana with her back against the wall and her arms crossed.

"Bout time you made it. We've been waiting on you. Have so much fun with your boy toy that you lost track of time?" Argana spat.

Bache ignored her and walked inside the VIP room, where Ishtar and Kali sat across from each other. Behind Ishtar were her famous Berbera led by Aisha Belka, a level four adventurer. Next to her was the captain of their familia, an ugly toad woman named Phyrne, who was on the cusp of level six.

Many other amazons were behind, but none were of much importance.

Kali has her own amazons behind her, and Argana and Bache took their place behind her.

"Bache, how nice of you to finally join us. Argana, tell us you found a boy that caught your interest," Kali sneered.

"Yes, Lady Kali," Bache responded.

"Interesting. Well, no matter, don't string the boy along. We won't be here much longer. Now, Ishtar, let's get this show on the road. I wanna hear your plan to take down Freya."

Ishtar cleared her throat and rested her hands atop the round table. "Thank you for meeting with me, Kali. I do have a plan on how we can take Freya down. I posses a renard with a unique and rare magic that allows her to boosts someone's level. I plan to use the killing stone on her and split her soul into many pieces so her magic can be used at will," Ishtar explained.

Kali's signature sadistic grin appeared on her face as her nails clicked on the table. "A very interesting plan, Ishtar. I don't suppose you'll slide some of the bigger shards my way in return for my help?"

Ishtar nodded. "That is correct. But do not forget I'm also helping you here with your twin Amazon problem. The Loki familia is poking their nose around here, and you need to watch out. The Silence and her nephew have taken up residence with Loki. Her nephew has joined the Loki familia and is here in Melen right now."

Kali scoffed. "Why would I care about some random kid? Sure, if the silence was here, I'd be worried, but why would I care about her nephew? He mustn't be that strong if I haven't heard anything about him."

Ishtar shook her head. "That's because he's only been here a week. During the Monsterphelia attack, he held off Valletta, Revis, and The Mountian on his own at level three. He would've lasted longer, but his friends were captured, so he willingly set down her weapons and took a beating to ensure they lived."

Kali quirked an eyebrow in interest. "Hmm, this boy sounds rather interesting then. Tell me, Ishtar, what does he look like so I can keep an eye out for him?"

"His hair is white like snow. He has blood-red eyes that resemble rubies. He wears a belt with two bastard swords by his side with a Valyrian steel dagger attached to the backside of his belt. He normally wanders around with a dire wolf and a dragon on his shoulder."

Bache felt her eyes slowly widen at the description Ishtar gave, minus the Dragon and Direwolf, that was the exact description of Bell. Argana looked at Bache with a smug smile on her face.

"Say, Bache, he sounds awfully familiar to that kid you were with by the docks," Argana added.

This put Ishtar and Kali on alert.

"Wait, he was by the docks? What was he doing there?" Ishtar asked.

Kali turned around and looked at Bache with a cold stare. "Yes, tell us, Bache, what was he doing there? Care to explain what your little friend was doing?"

Bache nervously swallowed before answering. "He was looking at the ships."

"And why was he looking at them?" Kali asked.

"He said he found them interesting. How they were able to stay afloat and move despite how heavy they were."

Kali shook her head. "Uh huh, and did he happen to take an interest in our ship?"

Bache nodded. "Yes, he said it was scary because of our black sail and red crest. But he said he was part of the Hecate familia, which was a wandering one."

Kali sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. "He played you for a fool, Bache. Hecate hasn't descended to the lower world yet. Gods, it's bad enough you can't read and write in Kione, but to get played for a fool by a child."

Bache shrunk in our herself, feeling Kali's disappointment and Argana's smug smirk.

"No matter. Just keep an eye out for him in the town. Don't kill him, but make sure he's out of commission long enough for us to escape. I don't want that monster of a woman hunting us down if we kill her nephew," Kali exasperated.

"Bache. End of the day, your life is yours to control. Not your sisters or Kali's, but yours. So don't let your fear of her retaliation cloud your judgment. At the end of the day, you're a person, not an object."

Bell's words ran through Bache's mind, and she clenched her fist in anger. That little bastard had lied to her and took advantage of her kindness. But he also gave her kind words in return.

What was his game? What was he playing at?

"Lady Kali," Bache said, her voice low and graveled.

"Yes, Bache?" Mail answered unamused.

"When we find Bell, let me take care of him. To fix my mistake."

"Very well, do what you want. Just be able to continue your primary objective," Kali waved off.

Bache agreed, and once the meeting was over, set off to find Bell.

.

.

.

.

Bache marched back to the docks in order to retrace her steps and possibly find Bell. She had to find him and ask him why. Why he lied?

Well, she knew why. Loki was here to snoop around about Kali and Ishtar, and Bell just happened to be in Loki's familia.

How would she have reacted had she known beforehand? Would she treat him with the same kindness even if they're enemies? Or would the two fight each other?

Bache looked around the dock, unable to find Bell's familiar white hair. She saw people walking past her, either going to the dock or walking away from it.

Maybe it would be better if she didn't find Bell? He seemed like a good kid, and Bache didn't want to rob his innocence from him.

"The innocence could've been an act as well, Bache," She thought.

Her mind wandered back to the cafe. Back to when she was leaving and, Bell told her to choose her own path and not follow Kali's whims.

Did he really mean that, or was that another one of his lies? Was anything he said to yer the truth? Or was everything that came out of his mouth a lie?

She looked around once again and saw a vendor packing up his stand for the day. Which was odd as it was only noon, and he should be open for a few more hours.

Seeing this oddity, she walked over and questioned the man.

"Excuse me, sir, but why are you packing up so early? It's only noon. Shouldn't you be open longer?" Bache asked.

Her eyes widened a bit as she realized this was the vendor selling fireworks.

"Sorry about that, ma'am stocks sold out. Some white-haired kid came by earlier today and bought all I had. You'll have to wait about a week before I have more in stock."

"White-haired kid! Do you know which way he went?" Bache asked, hoping to know.

The vendor pointed to the west. "He went that way last time I saw him. Pretty interesting kid had a dragon on his shoulder."

Bache was confused. Back west was toward Orario. Why would Bell buy a whole stock of fireworks just to head back to Orario? Also, why would he take his dragon out of hiding? None of this made any sense.

She knew there were no festivals coming up as Orario just had Monsterphelia, and their ship went east, so he couldn't be heading there.

Just what was Bell trying to do? What was his goal or motives? Bache was impressed. Despite being so young, he managed to outwit her at every turn.

She now had no idea where he was or what he was planning. For all she knows, he could be back in Orario to go and grab his aunt for help.

That would make things more complicated.

Bache clicked her tongue. She had to at least try and look for him. She knew if she failed, Kali would arrange a death match between her and Argana, and that would most likely spell her doom.

So she continued her search, asking any vendor she saw if they saw Bell. Multiple said no, but one said yes.

"Huh, oh yeah, I've seen that white-haired kid. He waltzed on over here and asked to buy one of my guitars. Interesting kid. He had a dragon on his shoulder and a backpack chock-full of fireworks. Maybe he's proposing to some special lady."

"Do you know which way he went?" Bache worriedly asked. Though, the vendor didn't seem to pick up on this.

"Yeah, he went north. Don't know why he went that way as there's nothin but plains over there."

Bache thanked the man before heading north.

"First west, now north. Just what is he up to? Fireworks and a guitar. What would he need those items for?"

Bache kept up her search until she came across a fish vendor.

"Excuse me, have you seen a white-haired kid with red eyes who's short?" Bache asked.

"Hmm? Oh, you mean Bell. Yeah, he was here yesterday and sold me a bunch of fish he and his friends caught. Caught quite a few and made a petty valis off of me. Although I did just see him heading south."

Bache cursed under her breath and went south.

"Ok, so he's close. We passed each other at some point. Where is he? Where is he? Where is he?" Bache wondered.

She kept searching, but she eventually had to stop as the sun was setting. She had failed in her task of finding Bell. Which meant she would have to succeed in capturing Tiona to stave off her execution.

.

"Hey Raul, you seen Bell anywhere?" Cruz asked, looking at his reflection through his dagger.

The two boys were currently sharing a three-person bedroom at the Njord familia home while they stayed in Melen.

"No, I haven't seen him since he came and got Silver. Now that you mention it, I've barely seen him all day."

Cruz sat up from his bed and set his dagger down. "Well, where do you think he could be? You think Loki asked him to do something?"

Raul shrugged. "I don't know, but if he's not back in another hour, we can go look for him. Maybe he got caught up in some business he's handling?"

"Alright, but in another 30 minutes, I'm gonna look for him."

Raul nodded and went back to reading his book. Cruz paced back and forth across the room in nervousness.

"I don't like this man. Something feels wrong. Why aren't you worried?"

"I am. But you didn't see Bell in the arena like I did. I know he can take care of himself if needed. But it is getting late."

Cruz nodded and kept pacing back and forth. After another five minutes, Cruz put his armor on and grabbed his weapons.

"I can't stand waiting around. I'm looking for him."

Cruz was about to walk out the door when Raul put his hand on his shoulder. "Cruz, wait. Let me get my gear on, and I'll help you. No point in you going alone and getting lost.

Raul went over and started putting his armor on when their door flung open. Aki stood at the door in a panic.

"Get your gear on and get outside. Amazons attacked Gareth outside, and Tiona, Tione, and Lefiya are missing," Aki explained.

"Bell's gone to. You don't think the amazons have something to do with this?" Cruz said, tossing Raul his sword.

"I don't know, but we need to hurry," Aki ushered.

The three ran outside and saw Narvi kick an Amazon away.

"There you guys are. Kali's attacking the town. Bete and Finn are on Main Street with Riveria. I lost sight of Gareth, but he seemed to be doing fine. Where's everyone else?"

"We don't know, but we can deal with it later. Right now, we have rouge amazons that need to be dealt with," Raul ordered, running ahead.

This caught the three of them off guard as Raul showed some confidence. But it lasted momentarily as they quickly followed after him.

.

.

.

.

The Kali familia ship rested on the water a couple of miles east of Melen. They were docked at a pier, which happened to be the same one Bell and the others fished the day before.

The moonlight was covered by the clouds, leaving the only source of light for the ship to be its lanterns. The skeleton crew of amazons that were there were bored out of their minds. They couldn't participate in the attack on Melen. They couldn't help with the capture of Tiona and Tione. All they were left to do was sit here and wait.

Which made the bored amazons easy prey.

In a flash, two Amazons were cut down slashes across their chests. A gust of wind blew, and three more fell. By the time the eighth fell, it was already too late to sound the alarm.

The last two were cut down long before they knew what happened.

.

.

.

.

Argana dragged Tione and Lefiya by their hair. Both were knocked out and covered in cuts and bruises. Tione's eye was blackened, and Lefiya's clothes were tattered.

Argana dropped the both of them next to Tiona, who was in the same state as her sister. The two had lost their fight.

"Argana, nice to have you back. Looks like your fight went perfectly. Is that Thousand elf with you by chance?" Kali asked.

Argana nodded. "Yes, my lady. Although the fight was tiring, I managed to complete my mission."

Argana was panting as she herself didn't escape the fight uninjured. But she won, and to her, that was all that mattered. She could be healed later.

"Good, bring her with us. We can use her to breed powerful elven warriors to go along with my amazons."

Kali then turned her attention toward Bache. "Bache, congratulations on your fight. Despite your failure to find the boy, you have pleased me with defeating Tiona."

Bache, looking much like her sister, bowed. "Thank you, lady Kali."

Kali then clapped her hands together and stood up. "Now, let's go back to the ship. Hopefully, it'll be smooth sailing back home."

Other amazons grabbed the unconscious bodies of Tiona, Tione, and Lefiya. They did this as to give Argana and Bache a break after their fights.

These amazons ranged from level three to level four. They were around in case Tiona won her fight, in which case they would jump in and subdue the weakened girl.

The darkness made it hard to see, but they knew where the ship would be located. After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at the pier where their ship was located and heard the strangest thing.

"What is that noise?" Kali asked.

"It sounds like someone is humming?" An Amazon answered.

Kali and her amazons went on the ship to investigate, but all they saw was darkness. Someone had put the lanterns out.

"Turn the lanterns on," Kali whispered.

The amazons did what she asked. While they did, they heard singing.

"Somewhere over the rainbow. Way up high."

More and more lanterns turned on, allowing the group to see better. They could see an outline of someone sitting on Kali's makeshift throne.

"There's a land I heard of. Way up high."

The rest of the lanterns were turned on, illuminating Bell relaxing on Kali's makeshift throne, strumming a guitar.

"Oh. Looks like I've acquired an audience. Any requests?"

"You," Bache growled.

Kali held her hand up, signaling Bache to stop.

"So you're the elusive rabbit Bache failed to catch?"

Bell chuckled. "Aw, was she looking for? Bache, I feel honored that you wanted to spend more time with me."

Bache let out a snarl but remained still.

"Tell me, child, what's your plan here? You came onto our ship with no way for you to escape," Kali said.

She used a hand signal, and multiple amazons surrounded Bell on all sides. Argana and Bache stayed by Kali's side.

Bell set his guitar down, propping it against Kali's makeshift throne before standing up. "Simple, really. You have three of my familia members hostage. I can't allow you to take them."

Kali chuckled at the boy's declaration. "Boy, you realize you're on my ship and outnumbered. All I have to do is incapacitate you and sail away."

"Gonna be hard to do without a mast," Bell pointed out.

Kali's head whirled around, and she noticed the mast of her ship had been broken off. Not cracked or splintered. Gone.

Nobody had noticed it missing in the darkness.

"Well, looks like you're rowing home. No, wait, I broke the oars too."

Kali grit her teeth in anger and gave Bell a furious look. "It doesn't matter. I still have you surrounded and outnumbered. You won't win this fight."

Bell shrugged. "It appears you do have me surrounded. Quite an eager bunch you have here. But you've already lost in one aspect."

"Oh yeah, and what is that?" Kali growled.

Bell raised his hand up and pressed his index finger against his thumb.

"Presentation"

He snapped his finger, causing a small flame to shoot from his fingers and down to the beach. It turned and proceeded in a straight line, lighting multiple fuses along the beach.

"So you can use fire magic. Big wh-

Boom

A loud bang rang out on the beach, followed by several more. The sky soon became painted in color and shapes. More booms were heard as more colors and shapes painted the skies.

"Wow, Bache, you were right. Fireworks truly are amazing."

"GET HIM?!!" Kali screeched.

The amazons surrounding Bell charged. But with a single tap of his foot, a sheet of ice shot out from around him, freezing the Amazon's that had charged.

Only Bache and Argana remained.

"Now then. Shall we begin?" Bell asked Longclaw and Blackfyre unsheathed.

Gonna end it off here, and I'll let you know that I skipped Tiona and Tione's fight cause I really didn't feel like writing them.

But I will sprinkle in some flashbacks in the next chapter that show snippets of the fights as well as Bell sabotaging the ship.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed and I'll see ya later.
