Well I think for the time being I'll keep Bell' stats as unknown when they are looked at. So..
Anyway, the Seven Royal arms Bell can summon are.
The Axe of the Conqueror
Katana of the Warrior (Though the dam thing should be called a Nodachi/Ōdachi: instead of a Katana due to the length of the blade.)
Shield of the Just
Swords of the Wanderer
Sword of the Wise
Dagger of unity ( A made up royal arm.)
and Lastly the Great sword: Sword of the Tall.
also I know people may soon wonder how is Bell able to use his abilities if the Crystal in which the Lucian bloodline use to draw most but not all of their powers is not in the world.
Well... the diamond on the Ring of the Lucii is actually a pice of the crystal. ! Anyway excuse but a good and likely excuse is pure and simple Bloodline. But Let's for the sake of the story see that he can use the powers and ring thanks to the Astrals and that pice of the crystal. Also the ring of The Lucii draws its powers from the Crystal which slowly drains their life. But no that's not going to happen. :) his powers are mostly thanks to the astrals doing.
not much to say after that. So enjoy!

Review be kind.
"Looks like you've got a new member; I look forward to it!" Bell said with a smile, of which Miach returned.
It was the next day and Bell, with the whole Miach Familia were gathered, the store looking back to the way it was minus all the Potions. Miach was telling Cassandra, Naza and Daphne the news of Bell joining their Familia. This got surprising looks from them all, Naza the most but she just smiled once the news had worn off.
"Now Mister Caelum please remove your shirt." Miach said getting a shocked look from him.
"w-what?!" Bell said a bit scandalized.
"it's to confer my blessing on to you as well as to show you are an official member of our Familia." Miach finished.
"Umm ok." Bell said simply as he began to unbutton his shirt.
"Ladies." Miach simply said as he userhed them out of the room a person whose name shall not be mentioned was blushing red.
"after fifteen minutes of drawing the Symbol for the Miach Familia a light began to show.
"And now Mister Caelum your stats are.. WHAT?" Miach said shocked.
"A problem?" Bell asked worried.
"Your level is now 3 but your Stats, they all say unknown!" Miach said shocked.
"I see." Bell simply said as he decided to end it their and got up.
"I hope that this won't cause to much trouble?" Bell asked
"N-No I guess not but I've never heard of an Adventure with no stats or stats that are unknown." Miach said still shocked.
"Well Maybe it means I'm special?" Bell said in a light joking manner.
"It would be best to keep this to ourselves for the time being." Miach said as he and Bell left the room.
"Lord Miach, we need money, Cassandra and Daphne are getting tied from the Dungeon. Bell I'm sorry to say this but can you help them pick up the slack?" Naza said.
"I don't mind, it's my duty anyway, I'll head out right after I finish at the guild updating my status." Bell said as he began to leave the building.
"Thank you." Was the Two's reply as Bell ran towards the Guild.
"Miss Eina!" Bell said running and waving as Eina was just leaving with some papers and folders.
"Ah Bell!" She responded back as he finally arrived.
"Would you like some help with those?" Bell asked seeing that it was a fairly large stack of folders and papers.
"Yes thank you." Eina said as she handed Bell the papers. Eina was as of the moment the only person to call Him by his first name; Eina was also the first person Bell called friend in this new world, and in reality she was in many ways his first friend in the littoral sense. Sure Bell met people during his training and the likes back from his home reality but Eina was truly the first person Bell had actually had conversations with that didn't involve Freeing the world. And Bell cherished this friendship greatly.
"So where you headed?" He asked her
"Actually I'm heading to the Loki Familia' residence. Loki requested the info on some of her Familia and that's what we're bringing." Eina finished her explanation.
"I see." Bell simply said as he followed her.
"So Bell, heading to the Dungeon?"
"Yeah, but actually I was stopping to see you first and tell you I've joined a Familia." Bell said with a smile on his face.
"really? That's great! I guess you'll no longer be known as Nulla Domus then?" She asked with a wispher at that last part.
"No but I think it will work out." Bell said as he looked to the sky thinking on all that led him to join.
"So who did you join?" She asked looking at him expectedly.
"I joined the Miach Familia." He said.
"Really? Honestly I'm surprised, I figured you'd join a stronger Familia like Loki, Odin, or someone else but Miach was never a Thought." She said as she thought about Bell and the other possibility's of different Familia's.
"Well circumstances led me to join, but I am honestly happy about it, I've heard nothing but good things about Miach, though Naza would say other wise on a few things." Bell responded breaking Eina out of her mini day dream.
"Well your right about that Bell, while not as famous or well off as the Diancecht Familia is they do have respect amongst the Adventurers for Miach' giving heart. Though I wonder." She asked with a teasing look on her eye.
"Did you know that Miach is considered a bit of a lady killer and has women swoon for him without him even trying. Did you join in hopes of learning how he does it and use it on some poor woman?" Eina said enjoying the reaction Bell gave.
"N-No not at all!" He said shaking his head. "I-I'm not interested in learning how to pick up girls in a Dungeon." He said trying in vain to get her to believe him.
"I never said what you would use that charm for." Eina said as she sprang her trap.
"N-no! You've got it all wrong!" Bell pleaded with the half elf only to get her laughing like crazy.
"relax Bell I'm only kidding." She said wiping the tears away, while Bell just let out a sigh of relief and complained how mean that was.
Fifteen minutes of walking they arrived at the home of the Loki Familia. Bell was impressed by the building, it was truly grand, a large castle that one would imagine of royalty.
'The Loki Familia is the top Familia so it shouldn't be surprising.' Bell thought as he followed Eina to the front as she knocked they were greeted by a servant who asked why they had come and once Eina told him why he led to a few stories above to a set of doors.
"goddess Loki is here expecting you." He said as he bowed and took his leave. Eina was the one to knock and after they heard a come in. They both entered.
"goddess Loki, my name is Eina Tulle. I'm with the guild here to bring you the documents you requested from us about members of your Familia."
"Thank you please set them down on the table to your left." Loki said without even looking up yet, but when she did she was surprised by whom was there.
"Well if it isn't the five star cook himself! I hope you've rethought my offer to join my Familia as our cook?" Loki said with a smile and a joking tone.
"Sorry goddess Loki I'm already in a Familia." Bell said ignoring the look Eina was giving him.
"Well shoot! Well I should warn you, two of my Adventurers Tion and Tione are big fans of yours now, so watch out." Loki said as she dropped the subject.
"Will that be all goddess?" Eina said in her professional tone.
"Yes That was all. Thank you for coming all the way here to deliver the documents." Loki said as the two left her alone and began to leave the mansion.
"So Bell, what's this about being a five star cook?"
'I feel like I should run.'
Bell after a very serious talk with Eina and her extreme shock of finding out Bell had advanced in rank again was a shock to the guild. Again Bell didn't want his name out there so Bell asked for the "false Gossip leak." In which his alias would gain the reputation.
Bell could be found in Dungeon floor 12, he had already gotten a good amount of dropped items to cash in. Naza asked that Bell be on the look out for rare Items from Dire wolves and he already had three of those Items she has asked for. Bell had just dispatched a giant Needle Rabbit
And began walking down the path and a pack of twelve Hell hounds approached him. Readying his dagger he charged the pack leader before they did. Quickly dispatching the wolf the pack would be easy targets. Bell decided to end it quickly though so he sheathed the Dagger and summoned the Katana of the warrior, getting into position that would allow him to make a quick clean slice of the pack members who would charge he had his hand on the handle and as seven wolves charged he simply drew the blade in a clean swipe and they were gone in nearly an instant. Not giving the rest time to react Bell charged them and with clean perfect slices Bell dispatched them with ease.
"I should probably get back, I'm not sure what time it is." Bell said to himself as he picked up all the dropped items and began to leave, unknown to him that someone was had seen and watched him dispatch those Hell hounds. And on the other side of the City a conversation was taking place.
"This is rare. Since the time we left heaven we've never chatted face to face, not even during the banquets." Miach said as he was called for a lunch meet with Freya
"Well I believe it is time to social with some of the other gods and goddess here, it can get quite lonely in my tower." She responded
"I don't suppose that includes Apollo and Ares?" Miach said knowing that would get under her skin. Miach was kind but he was never a fool. (Mostly) he knew there was something else the goddess wanted and he feared he already knew so he cut to the chase.
"So who's the person?"
Person? Ah!"
Realising Miach' question goddess Freya didn't reply but her smile beneath the robe tells it all.
"Freya If the person you fancy is within my famila, sorry but no. I will not allow them to be your personal plaything just to cast them aside when the next man or woman tickles your fancy." Miach said in his most serious and challenging voice.
"You have nothing to worry on that, Miach."
"Why don't I believe you." Miach responded cynically
"...he is not strong.. or at least he hides the fact he is. If you compared him to you or my familia's children, he is only but a hatchling. He might be easily hurt over small matters and would cry. Or he would face them strong and steadfast. I have yet to determine, but he has caught my eye. He is a mystery and it excites me greatly." Freya said licking her lips
"Yet what I do know is that your new child is very charming. He's pure yet he has this Aura of seriousness, forged as if he has seen hardships few people have faced, I dare say what We gods have faced. he's clear yet he has this brilliance I have yet seen. Far brilliant if I do say so my self."
Miach just sat there silently seething a look of frustration on his face.
As the goddess of Beauty continued her talk pertaining the guy she took a fancy of with intense passion. She took a quick pause as she look outside with a shock expression.
"Oh." She simply said
Following the gaze of the goddess, Miach also followed the direction of her staring. There he saw a white haired adventurer with basic adventurer gear headed for the guild, it was Bell.
"Excuse me, I suddenly remembered something."
And with that, the Goddess Freya suddenly left leaving the medicine god to plan the next move and to warn Bell.
Bell had returned to the guild to cash in his loot which came in at seventeen thousand Valis. After cashing in he went to go talk to Eina.
"Hello Eina! How's the day been?"
"Quite busy today after I returned from Loki' home. Haven't had one like this in quite a while, though the Soma Familia is the cause of most of it. They have been more and more desperate to get more money." Eina said looking to the side and running her shoulder, Bell remembered back to the night he killed four of them. But he wondered about the Familia.
"Hey Eina, what's the deal with the Soma Familia? Why are they so desperate?"
"The god Soma is god of drink, his Soma wine is extremely famous, in fact he offers it to anyone joining his Familia. That drink is so potent and strong that they become near addicted to Soma Wine. And Soma demands money if they want more, so you can guess how desperate Soma members are, the thing is though. The Soma wine they buy and what is bought around the city for an extreme price is not the real Soma wine. Soma himself only holds those for himself and new members." Eina finished and seeing Bell seething.
"That bastard!" Bell said slamming his hands on the desk getting surprised looks from everyone in the building.
"Basically drugging people to be his slaves! What's that sonofvabitch look like!" He said angry and looking at Eina, his eyes a light glow.
"No one knows what he looks like, he hides away deep in the Soma Familia home making false Soma." She finished.
Bell just sighed at that and let the matter go. Just before he was going to apologize for his outburst the Guild boss came in and told Eina that she would get tomorrow off.
Seeing as she would have the day off Bell decided to ask something.
"So Eina, do you have any plans for your day off?"
"No not really." Eina said as she began to think of things to do.
"Well.. why not spend it with me then?" Bell said.
"Why Mister Caelum, asking a lady on a date?" She responded with a teasing look.
"Well, Yeah I am." Bell admitted now seeing her reaction do a one eighty.
"U-um, It's not really professional for Adventures and their advisors to be in a relationship." She said looking away and nervously cleaning her glasses.
"Realizing what she meant Bell' face turned as red as a tomato.
"N-NO! Nothing like that!" He said waving his hands around a bit.
"I-It's just that, Well, your the first friend I made here in Ooraio, and in reality your the first real friend I've ever made. (Astrals not counting) and well, we've always been professional. I'd like to get to know you better! Not in the work place. But as the Eina who doesn't have to be professional." Bell said looking away shyly as he said those things. Eina just gave a gentle smile with a bit of sadness,
'What kind of life did Bell live if I'm considered his first real friend.'
"Alright then Bell, how about we meet in the central plaza at around 10:00AM?" She said.
"T-That would be great!" Bell said excitedly as he left saying he would be there.
"HOHO! Eina scoring a rich boy!" Eina' friend and coworker Misha said as he came up behind her.
"Misha! Eina said scolding, "how much did you hear?" Eina demanded.
"All of it, so! We need to get you ready! We need to fix your hair and find a nice thing to wear." Misha began listing off all the things.
"Misha, it's not like that." Eina said Sighing at her antics.
"Oh please! He admitted it was a date, you don't go on dates unless you're looking for romance! And don't think I didn't see that nervousness you had after he said it'd be a date!" Misha said looking right at Eina with her arms spread wide open.
"It's not a romantic date. You heard what he said, I'm the first friend he's ever made. He wants to know more about me, and it's also a way to show him what a normal life can look like. What kind of life did he live if he's fifteen and I'm his first real friend?!" Eina said to Misha.
"Well you've got me there... WAIT!" Misha yelled getting looks from Adventurers and staff.
"You remember that fancy suit he was wearing when he came here?" She asked Eina.
"Yes?"
"Then it makes sense! He's either a rich boy or he's of the Nobility, GASP Maybe even royalty! Eina you've got to snatch him up quickly!" Misha said letting her spot on delusions run wild as she began to shake Eina with ferver.
"W-Will-You-St-stop shakeing me!" Eina cried out, finally Misha stoped but still demanded Eina to pounce.
"Honestly Misha, you and your wild ideas." Eina began walking out not even looking back when Misha called out to her.
It was the time of the meet and Bell had decided to were his "rich boy suit" as people called it. Obviously he got a few stares but he did pay any attention.
"Bell." He heard a voice and knew who it was. "Eina!" Bell said as he turned and saw that his friend was not in her guild uniform but instead in a casual outfit (same as in Anime).
As Eina got a look at Bell she saw that he dressed for the occasion, making her feel just a bit embarrassed that he went all out and she could have done better.
"H-how do I look?" She asked embarrassed by how different they looked in dress.
"You look great Eina, it's nice to see you out of a guild uniform for a Change, not that you didn't look great in it! I mean you looked cool and collected." Bell said as he was fumbling with the right words to say to her. This action however eased Eina' own bashfulness and got a small laugh out of it.
"Why thank you Bell. You look dashing yourself, though I won't lie, the black doesn't really suit you that well." Eina said eying Bell.
"Well, black is the official color back from where I'm from, plus it's really one of the only things I have that reminds me of home." Bell said as he and Eina began to walk.
"So tell me Bell, where exactly are you from? Eina asked as she and Bell were walking around the town, Bell getting a few jealous looks from the guys, and Eina got at least two.
"Well.." Bell paused shortly trying to find the right words.
"I was born in the City of Insomnia, the Capital city of my home kingdom. Oorario in a few ways reminds me of it."
"How so?"
"Well, it's a city that has walls surrounding it, and at the center of the city we have a tower as well, it is the home of the king."
"I can't say I'm familiar with Insomnia Bell, what was the name of the Kingdom?" Eina asked Bell quickly thinking of something.
"Well, you wouldn't know of the name as it's really just a small Kingdom, on a large Island, so it's not surprising that it's not known." Bell finished his explanation. As he finished he saw a cafe and decided to stop there and eat, his treat of course.
As they both sat down at an outside table Bell decided it was his turn to ask a few.
"So Eina, tell me a few things about you."
"Well I'm a Half elf. My Father is human and my mother is elf. I do have a sister as well."
"Must be nice to have a sibling Bell said.
"It's got it's moments."
"What about places you lived?" Bell asked as their drinks of simple water arrived.
"Born and raised here, I actually joined the Guild when I was fourteen right after I finished school, and I haven't looked back since." Eina finished her answer
"Now it's my turn Bell, did you always live in Insomnia?"
"No I actually left when I was ten, my lineage demanded that I leave the city and Train as a warrior." Bell said getting a shocked look from Eina.
"W-Wait! You were taken as a child to become a solider?" Eina said horrified.
"Not really a solider, and I had five guardians who chose to train me and watch over me. One of them was the closest thing I had to a mother."
"What happend to your parents?" Eina asked.
"Murderd." Was his simple reply as he remembered the few moments he had about his Father Izunia and his mother Anais.
"Bell"
"Well enough of that, what's your dreams and aspirations?" Bell asked changing the subject.
"W-Well.. I haven't really thought much of it. To be honest.. I'm still young to not have to worry about that but.. it's always been my dream to work at the guild, but once you realize that living the dream has it's own challenges and bad moments it fades away a bit." I do supose I wouldn't mind finding a nice man and raising a family one day." Eina stated as their meal came out. Eina with a salad and a sandwich, Bell' a Soup and curry.
"What about you Bell? What's your dreams and aspirations?" Bell thought long and hard, he was suposed to defeat the scourge and Ardyn, and free his people. But that was no longer. Bell for the first time realized this and began to silently cry; Eina reaching across the table with her arms to grab his hands.
"I-I failed my dream, my people." Bell simply said silently crying as Eina came over to give him support, both ignoring the looks.
"Bell." Eina could only say as she watched this boy weep.
"It was my purpose, my destiny, to save those who couldn't, to protect the weak and helpless, and I failed. My childhood sacrificed for the greater good, wasted." He said as he just entered into her embrace, clutching her left arm with his right.
"Why do we head out now Bell." Eina said as she saw a nod from the boy.
It had been twenty minutes for Eina sitting on a bench, holding Bell as he just let it all out. Finally he began to calm down and looked at Eina.
"I-I'm sorry." Bell simply said.
"For what?"
"This is suposed to be your day off, and I selfishly take it from you, and here I am burdening you with my own problems. I'm sorry." Bell said bowing his head to her. Only to receive a flick on the nose by the young woman.
"Bell, don't apologize, I'm your friend remember, I'll always be here to listen to your troubles." She said smiling at him. On the verge of crying again Bell rubbed his eyes and got focused on a new task.
"Alright then Eina! Let's enjoy the rest of our day!" He said offering his hand to her to which she could only smile and accept.
"Well now, what's your hobbies Bell?" Eina asked as they were touring the market area.
"Well, training with my guardians didn't really leave much time for hobbies, but I'm told I'm a killer cook, though the taste testers weren't what you could call "reliable criticism."
"Well I remember Loki herself call you a Five star cook so it's official. Any other hobbies though?"
"Well my family always had this fondness for Fishing." He finished as he was interrupted by a stall hand.
"Hello! I see your on a date! Well no date is complete without crepes!" The girl stated getting their attention.
"Crepes?" Bell asked never hearing of this.
"Yes crepes, we have strawberry, mixed berry's, kiwi' and other kinds! Now what would it be? Just for you two I'll throw In a small discount." She said in a hushed tone as if she was selling something illegal but trying to be open about it.
"Umm.. Eina do you want one?"
"Yes please, I'll have a strawberry crepe please." She said.
"And what of you?" She asked back. "Umm.. I'll have the blackberry crepe please."
"Alright they'll be right out."
"As they watched her cook them Bell was transfixed on the smell of the crepes once she had finished making them they paid and enjoyed. "Thank you miss?" Bell asked.
"Hestia" she respond.
"Thank you miss Hestia we'll enjoy these greatly!" Bell responded leaving the stall for other customers who were now lining the stall.
As they were walking Eina saw a large coliseum and realized that in event was going on.
"Oh I almost forgot the most important thing today." Eina said in realization.
"What's That Eina?" Bell asked taking another bite of his food.
"Today marks the beginning of the festival for Monsterphillia."
"Monsterphillia?" Bell said a bit put off by the name of the thing.
"Yeah it's a yearly event hosted by the Ganasha Familia, in which Adventurers square off against monsters and tamed monsters." She said.
"Ahh." Bell remembered something like that in altissa back in Eos.
"Have you attended before?" He asked.
"Only a few times really it's exciting though to be honest. As they were talking about it they began to hear screams. And they looked to the entrance and saw that a large Gorilla type monster had escaped and was causing chaos. As people began to run Bell grabbed Eina and also began to flee.
"Chase The Elf girl with the white haired boy" the monster heard and obeyed the voice setting its sights on the two.
"RUN!" Bell yelled seeing it chase after them.
The monster began to swing it's chains at them, Bell swing this moved Eina right to dodge while he drew his dagger. He tried to find a place where they could not only lose the creature but also away from people.
"Eina! I'll try and get it's attention, you run and tell people what's happening! Try and find help!" Bell ordered.
"Bell." She simply said as she was scared at what was happening. Bell charged the creature dodging to the right of another swing of it's chains Bell made a slice at the monsters chest getting a scream. The monster tried a swing of its left arm to strike but missed, to which Bell ran a long slice up its arm which it had tried to swing. Bell looked back for just a moment, seeing Eina turn the corner to safety but it was a moment that the monster took advantage of. Swinging its right arm striking Bell hard sending him flying into the wall of a building. Seeing that the human was no longer a problem the Monster continued chasing Eina. Seeing this Bell tried to get up but he began to cough blood and collapsed to the ground, Bell reached into his bag and got out one of his last health elixirs and used it. Once healed He summoned the Royal arm dagger and threw it on a building warping up onto the ledge and began to climb. Once in the roof all he need was to follow the trail of smoke caused by the creatures destruction. Bell began to run across the roofs, simply warping at will across the larger gaps he couldn't jump. Finally he was able to catch up to the monster and saw that it had Eina cornered and was ready to kill her, With a yell Bell simply jumped down weapon ready to dive into the creatures back.
Eina was cornered she had hit a dead end and was going to turn back but she heard a roar and next the creature was there looking at her, slowly approaching her.
Eina could only collapse as she knew this was the end, her life was ending every step the creature made. She looked at the creature in pure terror as it had arrived, letting out a vicious roar she crossed her arms in front of her and closed her eyes waiting. But she heard a scream she recognized that voice.
'Bell?!' She thought as she opened her eyes to see Bell diving for the creature.
Bell had struck just as he planned, it was enough to force it's attention off Eina and back on Bell. Shacking like a wild bull and crashing into building to try and get him off, the monster began to try and get him off. It began to crash into building and seeing as this one would hit him, Bell had to jump off, the creature hit the building but slowly got back up. Bell was in front of Eina readying for the fight, the monster got up and it simply looked at Bell with a bloodlust. The monster began to beat its chest, defiantly and roaring at him. Bell knew this was going to be it, if he didn't end it now.. so Bell simply reached out with his right hand and summoned the Katana of the warrior. Getting into the proper stance Bell waited for it to charge, with a loud yell the monster charged right for them, Bell didn't even react. His mind simply on the proper moment to strike. The creature had now jumped, ready to dive with both its hand ready to smash down on the boy.
"BELL!" Eina screamed in terror for him. Opening his eyes Bell withdrew his blade and with a force like wind stroke at the monsters mid section. Time seemed to slow, Bell looking at the monster with determination and hatred in his eyes. Slowly time seemed to go back and the monster simply fell to the ground in two, followed quickly with its decentagration and a large crystal in its place. Sighing he sheaths his weapon and dismissed it. He turned to Eina knelt down and asked if she was ok to which Eina just grabbed him and held him in her arms.
Bell simply returned the gesture as a few people from the area saw the whole thing the legend of the sword summoner would soon be the new gossip.
"It would seem my interest was well placed. Show me more little Rabbit, show me more excitement." Freya said as she returned home now determined to make the boy hers no matter what.
XXXX
Happy Memorial Day. This day maybe filled with barbecue and family get togethers. But remember those Crosses and stars of David all around the world. Those men and woman who can't enjoy this day with their family. Remember their sacrifice and the sacrifice of those before them.
