Warning! Chapter contains gore content. You have been warned.
Chapter 6
Bell was roaming around in a town surprisingly not that far from Rain Valley but it was far enough for the rain not to hit here and a weather change.
The place he's at was snowing. When he felt something cold hit his head he looked up and saw little snowflakes falling to the ground. Like any kid first time seeing snow he decided to try and taste it. When the little snowflake landed on his tongue it felt a bit weird so he decided not to do it again.
He also was astonished by how cool the trees and animals looked. He was a bit confused when he saw someone with a tail and thought there's people like him but it sadly was turned down when he remembered his talk with Aria saying that humans aren't the only ones in the lower world. There's elves, dark elf's, dwarfs, beast-men, cat people, prums, and even spirits but spirits were long gone now.
.
Except a few couple of them that nobody knows
.
He was staying in a cabin he rented. Although this town is small it still has a lot things. He didn't really know where Orario is and he forgot to ask his father where it is so he decided to stay here a bit and get some information.
'I should probably check the place out since it's not that bad' he then picks his cloak and wears it and goes to see what this city has to offer him.
He was wondering around and saw many people talking, walking around. He was looking at the kids who was playing with wooden swords pretending to be a hero. He thought that maybe he could be one someday. But right now he disregards of the thought and decided to only help Ais and other people who need it.
.
Little did he know that's how hero works
.
He accidentally bumped into a women and both of them fell on their butts.
"Owii!" She exclaims
"Oh I'm sorry let me help you." He helped the young lady to get up.
"It's alright it was me who didn't pay attention" for some reason when Bell looked at the person he bumped into he was doing nothing but staring into her beautiful amethyst eyes. She had blonde hair thats reaches all the way to her back, her face looked one of a princess.
The people in the village can agree with that but they can't agree that she is one. She's nothing but a commoner.
Not only him but she was also lost in his red ruby eyes as well his fluffy white hair.
'Just like the snow' she thought
Neither of them knew that they were blushing.
"Hey um… I'm really sorry for bumping into you. Please forgive me" Bell says in a apologetic tone but his face showed no emotion. He bows down in front of the girl making some people that walk pass by them gasp in shock?
Bell wasn't aware but the people in the village looked at him in awe especially the kids. Bell looked like a top tier adventurer. His black coat with white stripes, his armored boots (Bete type), the black chest plate, the gauntlets.
To them he looked like a hero
So imagine a poor citizen making a person like Bell bow down to you? She instantly blushes more and notices the looks she was getting.
"Please mister don't bow down! I was the one who bumped into you! I'm the one who should say sorry not you." Bell raises his head and gave her a frown.
"But I-"
"Please… it was my fault…" she said with her own frown. Both of the didn't know why but they didn't like the frown that appeared on there faces.
"Okay then how about this, (she tilts her head) I buy you some food and go on our way?" Bell said with a finger in the air still with the emotionless face.
"But… how am I supposed to repay you? I don't have that much money on me. I only have about 500 valis on me." She said with her head down. She felt a bit depressed that someone like Bell is giving her something but she can't return the favor.
All of a sudden she felt something on top of her head, she looks back up and saw a small smile on him. He was patting her and dusting the snowflakes off her hair.
"There there. You don't need to repay me back. Seeing a smile on your face would repay me more than anything" Bell says with more emotion. He didn't know why he said that but
'It felt right'
He also didn't know the more looks they were getting from the people walking past them. Her face was fully red and was now a stuttering mess.
"I-I-I-I, i-if your fine with i-it then s-sure"
While they were both walking side to side Bell remembered one thing Aria told him about.
'If you ever meet someone especially a girl always be formal with them and greet them'
Internally Bell face palmed to himself as for not being formal and not asking her name and telling her his.
He glanced at her and saw that she was still red but was looking down.
'I knew I should've introduced myself first'
"Ahem. (she looks up to him) I'm sorry for not introducing myself. My name is Bell, what yours?"
"My name is Jeanne. I'm sorry for not introducing myself properly as well."
"Jeanne huh? That's a beautiful name" Bell says with a small smile making Jeanne blush red again.
"As for the introduction it's quite alright we're both…. forgetful I guess" Bell says as he shrugs his shoulder. He still doesn't know what emotions are so for him to try and act 'formal' is quite difficult for him. He thinks being formal is to just be very nice.
Jeanne on the other hand thought that Bell really is a high tier adventurer.
'But if he is one why is here? This village has nothing valuable? (she looks at him up and down) I'v seen adventurers but people like him…. should be from Orario right?'
They soon reached a destination Jeanne suggested. She didn't really want anything but when they were walking her stomach grumbled making her feel embarrassed and Bell smile.
He didn't know why but he just felt so… pure with this person. It felt like… he's being… cured.
They walk in the tavern and asked a table for two. They got a table next to a window showing the snowflakes falling to the ground. Bell could only smile at the view. Jeanne noticed the calm and relaxed Bell outside.
"(giggle) Um do you not see views like this?"
"No I don't. It looks beautiful"
"Where are you from?"
"I'm from-" Bell trailed off when a memory resurfaced in his mind.
Flashback a few days ago
"… so did you listen?" The dragon asked with Aria looking from his eyes. She was sealed for today since he wanted Bell not be distracted and be focus on his training for the upcoming task.
"Yeah, don't tell anybody about my origin and how I met you. I tell them that I'm not from here and that I'm from the unknown regions and I grew up there. Parents dead. No friends. No nobody but a grandpa that grew up with me. That's what you basically told me to tell people who I am." He says in his stoic tone.
Aria hates that the dragon isn't telling him how he got here but she's pretty sure that Bell knows that he is not his father deep down in his mind. But she was wrong. Bell will never believe it because legit his blood is in him and that proves it enough to him. Including that he can transform into a dragon hybrid. So he will never think that he's somebody else's child. Plus he grew up with him since he when he was basically born (heh get it cuz reborn… I'll stop).
Aria one day was going to tell him how he got here but she thought that maybe that would be the trigger for him to never be the same again. So she didn't tell him as much as she hates not to. 'It feels wrong' she kept telling herself
Back to the present
Bell was in deep thought. Jeanne thought that she asked a personal question so she decided to apologize but
"I'm from the unknown regions"
"!"
"So I really don't know where I'm from" he's not lying. Although he accepted that the dragon is his father he really doesn't know how he actually got here. His baby memories were erased so he doesn't know anything about
.
.
Grandpa
.
Grandma
.
Aunti
.
Uncle
.
Mom
.
Dad
.
.
Jeanne felt a bit sadden at his answer. She knows her parents and knows where she was born which is obvious but the person in front of her doesn't know where he's from.
'Does he know his parents?' As she was about to ask that question the waitress came in and brought them there foods. When Bell saw his food he couldn't help but drool. He order beef with rice.
Jeanne was the same with Bell. She and her mother don't have enough money to order stuff like this. They always eat potato's, corn, and other farm products. So unlike Bell she took her time eating her food. She wanted to savor this food and this moment since it's her first time eating with someone like Bell.
It was almost dark outside so she and Bell needed to go back to their homes. She was holding some groceries with her. Bell bought groceries for her so that she and her mother can eat well. Bell offered to walk her home but she insisted not to.
As she was halfway down to her home a group of men starting to follow her in the shadows. She noticed one. Then two. Then three. Then four. And it kept counting till 7 people. She thought they were drunk and hanging around in night so she decided to quicken her pace up a bit. But then she felt a hand on her shoulder making her stop.
"Hey missy~ what you got there?" He said as the others were surrounded her.
"…… groceries" she decided to be honest with them and that maybe it'll work. But she felt a hand on her waist and a knife on her neck. It was only her and them nobody else. Everyone else was either sleeping or nowhere near her. She started to get scared.
If only they knew that one of their men was holding his throat in an alleyway as blood was coming out of his mouth
(If you want the mood to REALLY settle in then I suggest you to play Attack on Titan season 4 episode 7 ost Eren vs Jaw Titan nutcracker theme by the user Samuel Kim on YouTube till this chapter is over.)
.
.
"W-wh-" he was cutoff by a foot pushing down his face till his brains, eyes, and skull were crushed. All that was left of him was a bloodied and smushed head with a single eye not squished looking up at the monster who killed him
.
.
.
"Soooo missy~ where you heading today?" His hands were slowly and slowly go lower and reaching her behind. Jeanne was really scared right now to the point she can't move or scream for help. All she can do his have her head down and silently cry letting the tears drop on the ground.
.
.
.
.
"Uhhhhh Rob?"
The person who was about to grab Jeanne behind stopped and glared at the person interrupting his moment. (fucking rapists hate em)
"What!" He hollered making Jeanne jump since he was next to her ear
"What happened to the rest of us?"
Rob then looked around and saw that it was only him, Jeanne, and the other individual standing there.
Alone
"Don't tell me those pussys ran away. Hey Richard you shou-" as went looked back to where Richard was…… he was gone
Jeanne then slightly looked up and saw that it was only him and her. As she was about to kick the guy in the crotch and run to her house…. that's when they both herd it
.
.
.
"NOOOOOO!!"
.
.
.
Jeanne and Rob both paled. They didn't know what that was. They knew one thing for sure though. The person who screamed with his all…… is dead
.
.
.
"FUCK THIS IM OUT OF HERE!!" Rob then pushed Jeanne to the ground almost making her drop her groceries and ran away for his life but of course that's now how it ended. A dark shadow appeared in front of him as soon as he turned around.
When he turned around a hand instantly grabbed his throat. The figure lifted him slightly in the air just enough for him to be bit over height than him.
Rob couldn't scream, ask for help, beg for mercy, nothing……
.
.
.
All he could do was look at his eyes……
.
.
.
Eyes of a person with no soul
.
No remorse of what's doing
.
No regret
.
Just pure
.
Hatred
.
Anger
.
Bloodlust
.
.
.
The figure then crush his throat grabs his head. Black darkness came out of his back and soon he took off in the sky taking Rob with him.
.
.
.
Jeanne didn't know what to say or do in that situation. All she could do is watch the sky and see what'll happen to the person who tried to rape her
.
.
.
The figure was now above the clouds leaving only those two alone with the moon illuminating on them. Rob couldn't believe that he's still alive. He's probably alive due to the amount of grip strength this… monster had on his throat. To the point no blood is coming out.
"I'll say this once…… (smiles sadisticly, moves Robs face closer to his) hope your happy with what. You. Did." He then launches Robs body up in the air making Rob gurgle as the blood was coming out of his throat quickly. He was about to try and say something but it was too late. The figure had a magic spell ready and charged.
Just
.
For
.
Him
.
"DRAGON OF THE DARKNESS FLAME!" A black fire dragon comes out of his fist and goes directly to Rob.
A very huge explosion of blood and dark flames then appeared in the sky. It was so huge and loud to the point it was herd all around the area awakening the people in the town and animals as well.
.
Also making the monsters there that usually spawn there run or hide away
The dragon woke up when he felt a strong energy very similar to his being leaked out. He walks out of the cave and goes to see what's happening. When he looked outside and saw the sky he was interested at what he was looking at.
A huge red and black smoke was in the sky. Red rain was falling to the sky as a black figure was there bathing in it. The dragon squinted his eye to see who it was and when he saw who it was……
.
He for the first time in his whole life
.
.
.
Was happy
.
Aria wasn't… she was more concerned
.
She had hand over mouth
.
"(Laughing) You see that Aria, Albert! The dream you had will never EVER COME TRUE!!!"
The dragon was laughing as he was seeing his kin leave the area.
Aria only had one thing in mind…
'Bell…. you never use your Dragon form unless I'm in danger…… what happened?'
AN:
Well one hell of way to introduce the new and replacement for Tifa.
Yes blood and glory Bell will still happen once he goes to Orario.
Bell saw an innocent person in need of help and the person that he really cares for without knowing…… yet
If you thought this story will be a good and lovely story well your not wrong but expect moments like this happen.
As for Bells spell. It's a move from Yu Yu Hakusho from a character called Hiei. Search it up on YouTube. Great anime as well I recommend it.
As for Bells outfit. It's basically Kirito outfit from SAO (Sword Art Online) just with black Bete type boots with fist gauntlets and a black chest plate
.

Jeanne will be a big factor for this story as well as the other characters
