Important AN:

Hey everyone! Um quick important authors note here. Last chapter MangaZed PM me an important question that I forgot to add the answer to in last chapters AN.

"Why he is joining a familia? Isn't he just here for Aiz?"

Like I told him. Yes he's here for Ais but he can't just go in and go out. He can't just say to her "Hey I'm the dragon son. Trying to go and get your mom with me?" That would just be so awkward and weird for her. Besides Ais would be furious that someone like the OEBD has a kid. So she would no question just kill Bell and demand him where her mother is. Bell could try to reason but I'm pretty sure nobody will listen to the WORLDS COMMON ENEMY.

So what I'm basically saying is that he's going to need to blend in with Orario first before the big reveal happens.

Sorry for the big explanation now on with the show!

Chapter 13

There was a strong silence after his comment. Finn was there not believing what he was seeing. Now seeing him in person and what he just did right now; stopping Bete and Tione punch in mere seconds from their faces.

Not only him but the others seeing this were looking at him in awe. Totally disregarding the fact that he broke in their home territory.

Lefiya was looking at the person who saved her in complete shock and admiration. The fact that he was able to stop it last second is something only the executives could do.

Tiona looked at him with stars in her eyes. 'Cool!' She screamed in her mind, standing there like a complete boss.

Tione was in complete shock to the point she couldn't move. Her body didn't react to her brain. She was stuck there looking at the young lad in front of her.

Bete was flabbergasted. His jaw was all the way open, his tail and wolf ears on alert. He herd Finn talk about him and of course he remember the details they said about him especially about his feat against the Violas. He didn't believe it at first due to him not being able to do it or he just didn't want to but now, here he is. Proving Bete wrong.

Riveria and Gareth didn't really know what to think. Riveria was the only one out of everyone wondering how did he get in here without being undetected. She looked back at the entrance and could see the guards still there, talking to themselves. She frowned, completely not happy since this could've been anyone and could've possibly be a threat as well. Fortunately it wasn't she thought.

Now it was the 'Sword Princess,' Ais Wallenstien, turn. What did she think of all this? She had many questions. How did he get in here? How strong is he? Where did he come from? What familia is he from? And the most important question she thought is.… 'what is that magic he showed?' Remembering the black fire and darkness from his fist.

Since she, Tiona, Tione, and Lefiya didn't see him deform from his rage state they knew it was him. His white hair, red eyes, and the most noticeable thing about him; his scarf.

He let their hands go and stepped a few steps back to let them cool down. Unknown to him they already have been cooled down ever since he stopped them out of no where.

Bete and Tione glared at each other one last time before Tione sighed and Bete clicking his tongue. Now that the fight is over Finn and the executives went towards them. They were wary at first but soon changed into curiosity.

'He could've attacked us easily.' They thought.

He was looking down thinking of a serious thought.…… 'When is lunch?'

"Hello there." Finn greeted him with his usual smile.

Tione now went to Finn side and was paying attention only to him. The others laughed nervously about her act.

"Hello." He said in his usual emotionless tone.

The others didn't know what to say about that. His voice was just as Ais but not one softness in it. Ais had softness or more like a maidens in her tone, his is.… devoted of nothing.

Ais then saw his eyes for the first time. Seeing the dullness in it. It's… darkened but still the ruby red was there. Now that she's thinking about it his whole aura seems.… a bit gloomy. It was as if he had the roughest life a human could ever have, being completely oblivious about his past along with the others as well.

"Well before we move on, I would like to ask you a question if you don't mind." He nodded. "How did you get in here?" Finn quirked an eyebrow. It was answered immediately, he just pointed his finger at the guards and started to talk.

"They said I couldn't enter so I just hopped over the wall and decided to walk in myself." Being completely honest. There was another silence until

"That's all?" Finn asked a bit unsatisfied with the answer. He nodded no.

"I was going to ask if I could join your familia but I saw you guys fighting and–" he was cutoff by all of them screaming

"YOUR LYING/WWHHAAATT!!!"

Loki was completely quiet the entire time while she was being briefed about the fight between Bete and Tione. She did not expect this to happen at all. Before she was forcefully dragged out of her room, she was sleeping peacefully like a baby due to the amount of booze she drank last night. She did not remember anything at all except the Monster Féria event.

So when she herd he was here and was being dragged out of her room by Riveria, she thought that he asked something without reason or is blaming them for yesterday.

However it was none of that. Now here she is looking at him with her eyes completely opened, being chained up by Gareth and Bete. He willingly let them do it. He understood why so there shouldn't be a reason to object.

Especially now that he saw her. When he saw her he thought he was dreaming. He didn't think he found her so easily. He was only just wondering around getting trying to get used to Orario. 'Looks like miracles do happen.' He thought as a small smile appears on his face. Them seeing that wonder what's he smiling about.

"Oi kid." Loki. He raised his head up.

"Your lying about joining my familia right?" Her red eyes were now glimmering a bit. Showing that she is now going to detect whether he is a complete liar or an honest man.

All of them were waiting, on the edges of their shoes. He looked at her dead in the eye. Saying his answer.

"Yes."

Everyone now turned to Loki to see if it's true or not. It was quite in the room until she bombed him so many questions that Riveria and Finn hardly kept track of. He answered all of them honestly and straight to the point.

"How are you this strong?"

"Training."

"Where are you from?"

".… Unknown regions." They noticed the small delay on that. They expected Loki to say lie however she kept on going.

"Father?"

"Don't have one."

"Mother?"

"Don't have one."

"Sister?"

"Don't have one."

"Brother?"

"Don't have one."

"Not even one family member kid?" Loki asked a bit rudely.

He didn't respond. He lowered his head a bit making Loki feel bad. He wished he had a family.…… his eyes started to show sadness.

'I at least got Aria as a mother.… right?' He thought somberly.

The others seeing him be sad glared at Loki. Rivera was about to give her the hardest slap she would ever receive but

"Can we move on.…" he asked. Ais swore she herd a bit of desperation in his voice.

'Are you… really like me?'

"Ok.… what about friends?"

".… one."

".… Where part of the unknown regions are you from?" She asked as she leaned down on her chair. This is an answer all of them wanted to know. None of them were familiar with the unknown regions except for Bete when he used to live with his family. But he hardly remembers it now.

He didn't know what to say. He hoped that this would be the last question. He didn't show it but in the inside he was getting more and more anxiety building up. He was nervous if this 'mission' would fail.

In the far back in his mind.… where his 'true' self is..… was wondering.… 'Could I.… ki–'

"Yo!" Bete was snapping his fingers in front of his face. He got out of his trance forgetting those evil thoughts occurring.

".… I come from a place called Rain Valley." He finally said.

Loki being satisfied with all of his answers now stood up and walked over to him. She now being beside him is now looking at her familia with a huge grin on her face.

"Looks like we got a new member!"

.

.

.

.

"WWHHAAATT!!" All of them roared in the manor. All the members herd them yell and the ground shake.

"W-W-Wait Loki! Your telling me this boy is telling everything the TRUTH!" Bete didn't want to believe it.

For him to come here and ask to join the Loki familia only means one thing.…

'He doesn't have falna!!'

It should be impossible for someone like him to not have falna. All that strength he had without falna? No one would believe it.… until they would witness it. Which all of them did. And others actually saw what he's capable of.

Monsters outside of Orario are weak and nothing like the ones in the dungeon but if it were places like Dragon Valley, Acid Storm, The elf's forests, and the most obvious one, the unknown regions. Then it would make sense for him to be strong but still to be THIS strong is something they just can't believe.

One person in the group is already going to ask him how did he get this absurd amount of strength without falna. Although she's thinking of reconsidering it since moments ago he was sad for not having family. She knows the grief of being alone and not having family.

While they were talking he was just looking at her while they were discussing with themselves. He had a small smile on his face.

'I-I did it Aria! I found Ais!' Unnoticed by him and the others a single tear rolled down his face. The emotions he was feeling inside of himself were so confusing to him. He knew one thing though. He was.… glad that he found her.

'Hopefully she kept her promise to her mother though.' He thought. 'If not.… then this will be a long journey.' Hoping she did keep it. However when he said training her eyes turned sharp. Something that made him feel upset. 'She did keep her promise.… right?'

"Oi Kid!" Loki was now happy that this whole scenario would be finished. She's also going to have another top member in her familia! She was excited. Now she's a little confident enough to say that Freya familia won't be that much of a threat.

'Finn, Riveria, and Gareth reaches level 7 it's over!' Loki thought already coming up with her mischievous plans.

Bete and Gareth walked behind him to release the chains on him. Loki luckily had her sharp pin on her. She tapped it with her finger blood slowly coming out of it. He tilted his head showing his confusion to them.

"Is this your first time getting falna?" Riveria asked. He nodded.

"Well (smirk) you take your shirt off and I-" Loki was hit on the head by Riveria.

"What she MEANT to say is, you show your back to her so that she could bestow you with falna." Riveria said eyeing Loki to not do anything ridiculous.

He took his shirt off only showing his back and not his front. Bete and Gareth who are behind him looked at his back in shock. The others seeing this were confused.

"Hey kid (he hums) where did you get these scars from?" Gareth asked a bit of concern. Bete didn't say anything and was only looking at the scars in detail.

They were all.… horrible. All of them looked similar and have the same huge slash. Whoever trained the boy for sure did not hold back. Bete could see a bite mark close to his ribcage but couldn't fully see it since parts of his shirt is covering it.

'Is this what he did to get strong?' Bete thought.

He only answered one word that confirmed Bete thinking.

"Training." Once Loki saw she too understood why Gareth is concerned. It looked like the kid went threw war and the worse part of it, 'This is his back,' Loki said in her mind.

She shook those thoughts off and was ready to give him falna but before she could.

"Hey kid, what's your name?"

"Bell... Bell Cranel."

"Hmm nice name!" Loki said. The others thought of the same. Riveria however felt like she herd his name before. She tired hard to remember but sadly she didn't remember anything. She made a mental note to find out where and when she herd it.

When Loki divine blood dropped on his back.…

Something unnatural happened

Bell felt pain on his back and from his soul for the first time in a long time. Loki felt her head in pain. That's when red lighting zapped Loki from his back, sending her to the wall, and him falling to his knees as he coughed out blood.

"Loki!" Ais, Tiona, and Tione checked on Loki to see if she has any serious injury's. The rest checked on Bell.

"Hey lad you alright?" Gareth

"Does he look likes he alright? Kids coughing blood!" Bete

"Lefiya, Riveria check on him I'll see if-" Finn was going to go and get something for Bell but Riveria grabbed his arm a bit forcefully. He was confused but she then pointed his back and that's when he saw it.

No falna

Nothing

Just his scars and nothing else

"I-It didn't work!" Finn exclaimed completely baffled by this weird occurrence.

The others were confused especially Loki but that's when they saw his back as well.

"What?" Tiona

"Is that even possible?" Tione

"How the hell did it not work?" Loki said. Completely baffled as the others in the room.

"Wow." Ais and Lefiya muttered.

He started to cough more blood gaining their attention. They knew this wasn't him being a threat or trying to secretly kill Loki. If it weren't for his confused reaction then they would've thought of the opposite.

He was being 100 percent honest. Already gaining Loki and Finn trust.

"Get some towels and something for him!" Loki. Tiona and Tione nodded left to go and get some towels and some healing potions to see if he'll get any better.

Finn wanted to test something out but it'll probably hurt him and Loki again.

"Loki."

"Yeah?"

"Try to give him falna again." He said.

The others beside Bell were looking at him confused but trusted Finn even though they don't know what he's trying to see or do.

"You ok?" Lefiya asked in concern. His coughing stopped but the amount of blood he lost was something to look out for.

'Is he sick?' She thought. Sadly she didn't get an answer since Loki dropped her blood on his back once more but the same thing happened only this time Loki was caught by Bete.

"W-What the hell?" Loki groaned in pain.

"Bell do you possibly know why this is happening?" Riveria asked in a kind tone while healing him with Lefiya. This time he coughed less then earlier.

Adding more confusion to them he nodded no. Just then Tiona and Tione walked in and saw more blood on the floor. Immediately they both set it down in front of him. One on the floor sucking all the blood and the other on Tione hand in case if he'll cough more.

"Looks like we'll need to talk to someone about this." Finn said. The others looked at him wondering who he has in mind.

"Is it Dian Cecht?" Lefiya guessed it. Finn nodded with a small smile.

"She may know why this is happening." Finn answered. They were all hoping the same.

.

.

.

.

Bell on the other hand already had a theory on why this is happening

'Don't tell me his blood has something to do with this!!'He screamed inside of his mind

Blaming it all on him

It made him think of one thought that made him feel scared ever since he left Rain Valley

'D-Does that mean he knows what I'm doing?' Bells eyes showed slight fear and desperation of help

'N-No please!' He looked at Ais

'Not when I'm literally here!'

Bell felt his head get heavy. He herd them call out his name. All he remembers was Ais standing in front of him before his head and eyes was brought into darkness

"Bell?" Ais called out to him

Bell however had fallen unconscious
