She was losing hope. She spent centuries searching, scouring all the lands in hopes of finding him. All her efforts only resulted in failure, but she never gave up. Her eyes would always roam the city and beyond for her destined one, wishing for her dream to come true.
It never did.
With the recent victory over the Zeus and Hera familias, signifying the end of the dark ages of Orario, she thought she would have been able to find her Odr, now that her attention wasn't focused on the war. She never came close to even finding a whiff of him.
But then again, she knew this could have been a possibility. That all of her efforts were only due to the words of a false prophecy, only meant to hurt her more than she already is. Oh how cruel would that be, for her hopes and dreams to crumble at such a reality. It wasn't something she wanted to ever think about. But now the thoughts were there.
"My goddess, I have returned." A gruff voice said behind her, prompting her to turn and look at the man. He stood at a large 6 '11 with muscles hulking his frame, brown hair and two ear on top of his head. This was Ottar, the level 6 Boaz nicknamed the Warlord of the Freya Familia, and its captain.
"Ottar," The goddess started, taking a sip from the glass of wine she held in her hands, gazing into the night sky in front of her. "What is it you have found?"
"Nothing out of the ordinary has been sighted in Orario, my goddess." She nodded dejectedly. She expected this response, this was the response that had always been given to her after every trip she sent her captain to.
"I see…"
"I have, however, noticed something strange within the forests outside the city. A power and presence unlike any I've felt before."
Freya's eyes zeroed in on the Boaz, narrowing them by a tiny margin. "Oh? And what is it that's so strange to have caught your attention?"
"It came from a little boy, My lady. He looked to be no older than a 7 year old child"
When the brown head finished his sentence, Freya's body went rigid. She sauntered up to her captain and placed a delicate hand on his shoulder. "Speak, my child. Tell me what you are saying in further detail."
Ottar smiled at the contact and continued on. "Yes my goddess. There wasn't anything too out of the ordinary with the forest, some monsters had been there but they were of no trouble. They did seem scared, however. As though an even greater threat resided deeper within the forest."
Flashback
—-
Ottar's boots crunched beneath him as he walked through the forest, his eyes constantly watching for anything strange that could appear. The presence he had felt earlier demanded his attention, to make sure it never threatened his goddess.
Many monsters were caught in his gaze, yet he paid no heed to them. They weren't nearly powerful enough to take on a level 1, let alone a man of his stature. He did notice their expressions though. It was full of fear.
He couldn't blame them, the aura that emitted deep within the forest sent chills down his own spine. His blood boiled in excitement at the prospect of a good fight.
Wasting no more time, he bounded towards its direction. Battlelust exuded from him in waves as he neared its source.
The innumerable amount of trees disappeared behind him, revealing a wasteland of monster corpses. The grass was dyed in the color of monster blood as he gazed upon a mountain of their corpses. When his eyes reached the top of the monstrous size of the corpse stack, his eyes widened in shock.
A child sat there, no older than 7 years of age, drenched in blood and guts. The child's eyes were glued to the boaz, allowing Ottar the sight of his infernal blood red eyes. A slit was in place of his pupils, something Ottar took notice of. 'It seems the boy isn't entirely human'
A crown of spiky hair adorned the boy's head, matted in the navy of monster blood, though specks of blonde were still visible. 3 whiskers on each cheek stood prominent on his cheeks, making him look not unlike the visage of a fox.
He wore no clothing except for a tattered pair of shorts, emphasizing his lean frame. The boaz could tell that the boy had trained a lot, the results showed.
'What tremendous bloodlust this boy is exuding' Ottar thought. His instincts were warning him of the danger the boy presented. Not many creatures could do that, let alone humans. The last people he fought that caused his instincts to quiver were all dead or driven away. It was a shame on his record, due to circumstances that his rival familias face, but he did all the things he did for his goddess.
"Who are you boy?" Ottar asked. He didn't bring out his greatsword that rested on his back, for fear of startling the boy and warranting an attack. He didn't receive an answer, so he assumed the boy was still studying him.
"It's Impressive that you've killed all these monsters" He started. "Tell me, how were you able to kill them?"
Silence once more answered him, slightly irritating him. Before he could speak once more, the boy finally opened his mouth.
"Where is she…"
Ottar blinked. He didn't expect that. The boy gritted his teeth, showing Ottar the fangs that aligned it.
"Where. Is. She!"
"I know not of who you speak of boy."
A red cloak surrounded the boy's body, causing a wave of hatred and fury to spread throughout the field. It gained the boaz's attention, and put him on alert. 'That seems like it's dangerous'
In a flash, Ottar's eyes went wide as he was forced to block a clawed hand that went for his throat.
"WHERE IS MY SISTER!"
He was blasted across the meadow, slamming into the trees behind him. The impact didn't hurt, but the speed of the boy certainly shocked him. He rose from his downed position with hardly a scratch.
A faint stinging in his wrist rebutted that analysis. He brought his arm up to inspect it, seeing faint scratch marks that bled slightly from them. 'That boy… He's powerful'
He didn't get anymore time to marvel at his opponents power as he was once more forced into defense. The boy's arms swiped at him in wild tandem, but Ottar could tell they were more calculated than they seemed.
'Looks like he had some training." The boaz thought. He deflected a swipe to his face and retaliated, launching his fist into the boy's gut and sending him flying. It took no time at all for him to recover and press back onto the offensive.
Ottar's hand caught the boy's fist when he tried punching his gut, but wasn't able to hold on as another punch caught his chin, followed by a roundhouse kick that snapped his head to the side. The wind that blew away from them could attest to the strength of the impact, but the man's feet were ground in place.
He caught his blood matted adversary by his leg, throwing him away and chased after him. The boy was still in the air when Ottar appeared beside him, throwing a devastating punch on the boy and slamming him down on the ground.
"GAAAH!" The boy exclaimed, feeling the aching pain of the giant fist slamming into his body. He didn't relent though, twisting his hips in an attempt to knock the older man off his feet. He succeeded, shocking Ottar as he fell.
The boy used his momentum to help himself launch into the air. He didn't try to retreat and regroup, instead choosing to go aggressive and land on Ottar.
Ottar saw stars as his opponent's feet implanted themselves into his gut, painfully caving it in. The boy didn't let up his assault, slamming his knees onto the man's arms and punching his face.
Over, and over, and over again.
Ottar eventually grew tired of the constant barrage and wrenched his arm out of its trapped position under the boy's knee. The boy's vision lurched as he was thrown off Ottar's chest and to the other side of the meadow. His back slammed into the dirt but didn't try to fight the tumble, he used it to right himself on his feet instead.
Ottar stood up and faced the boy. "You are strong, child. I commend you for it. However, you must cease your assault. Attacking me will get you nowhere, nor result in anything."
The boy growled. "Shut up, where is my sister?!"
"I don't know who your sister is, or where she is."
"Then what good are you"
"I can help you find your sister, if you but give me the chance."
The boy stopped, staring at Ottar with a calculative gaze. "How the hell are you going to help me find my sister?"
Ottar began walking to the boy, steady in his pace and his hands at his side. It was a show of trust to the boy, a display that he wouldn't attack him. The child didn't react, taking the show of trust well and allowing the man to stand in front of him.
"I may not be able to find her myself, but I possess a number of contacts that could assist in our search. It may not be soon or immediately, but I can help you find her."
The boy stared into Ottar's eyes, searching for any form of deception within them. He found none. "Say I do let you help me, what do you want in return? I know you won't do this for nothing."
Ottar nodded appreciatively. "You're rather insightful for a boy your age. You look to be 7-"
"8"
"-8 years old and you already possess such wisdom. Why?"
The boy scowled. "Why should I tell you?"
"I'm merely curious."
"Tch, fine. My mom and dad died when I was 5, so I've had to take care of my sister all by myself. Became slum rats real quick and I had to fight for our lives a lot."
As he spoke, a dark aura appeared around the boy, filled with rage, darkness, and vengeance. A flame as black as the void burned within the boy's soul, encompassing it in a furious blaze that threatened to burn anything it touched. He didn't try to fight against it, no. He relished in its heat and allowed it to run rampant.
He knew what it was, and what it could do. It would assist him in his vow, in completing his sworn vengeance on the beast that took his parents away.
The boaz grew alarmed at the aura that grew around the boy. Never before had he felt such hate in his life, all concentrated into one thing. Even though he was aware that none of it was directed at him, sweat still trickled down his forehead.
With a sigh, the boy stopped his hatred from flowing, causing the aura to recede back into him."My sister is the only person I have left, I can't lose her. So if you can help me find her, then please help me."
Ottar nodded at the boy's request. "I will help you find them, but in exchange there are some things I want from you."
"Name em."
"One, You will join the Freya familia. My goddess deserves only the very best, and I believe your strength is worthy of your position amongst us. And two, I want you to answer some questions of mine."
The boy didn't waste any time thinking about the conditions. "I accept, I'll join your familia or whatever you called it. What questions you got for me?"
"I have a couple." Ottar started. "Why are you here in the forest."
"No clue" The child shrugged. "I just woke up to finding myself inside some weird crystal in a cave nearby. I busted out of there only to end up in the forest. Caused the monsters to attack me, but I put the down for good."
"I will go investigate that later, then. What is your sister's name, and what does she look like?"
"Her name is Aiz. She's a blonde like me, but she's got yellow eyes instead of blue like mine-"
"Your eyes are red though."
"Happens when I get angry. Something about what I am from what I remember my mom saying. Anyways, she's real tiny, like up to my shoulder. Got long hair down to her hips, too."
"Thank you. Now for my last question, what is your name?"
"My name? It's Naruto. Naruto Namikaze Wallenstein."
Flashback end*
—
"I went to investigate the crystal he mentioned, and I came to discover that the boy was apparently put in a time stasis. From the age of the crystal, I'd say around a thousand years."
Freya was silent as she digested the information she was given. Never before has anything remotely close to this ever occur to her. "And where is this boy now, Ottar?"
"He's currently outside the room. I've ordered him to stay put for the time being so I may speak to you first."
"Well then don't keep him waiting. Bring him in."
"Understood, my goddess."
Ottar stood up and walked to the door, opening it by a small margin to allow a boy in. Now that Freya looked at him, she couldn't help but find him cute.
She could see all the details Ottar described to her, and was glad to see that his hair was indeed blonde. He wore a plain short sleeved orange shirt and black pants, his feet covered by white socks. Freya's heart melted at the sight of the small child, who was scowling at her with his hands stuffed into his pajama pant pockets.
"So you're this lady goddess that the old man was talkin' about?" He said, judging her form with his eyes. "I ain't seein the appeal that this guy's got for ya. Ya seem like any other lady I'd see on the street."
Freya's eyes widened in shock at the boy's words. She never expected such words to ever be uttered in her presence, let alone directed at the goddess herself. 'Oh my…'
Ottar slammed his fist into Naruto's noggin, smashing him to the floor. "Be respectful when addressing our goddess, boy." He growled.
"Ya, ya, whatever ya shitty geezer. Lay off it, would ya?" Naruto growled back, rubbing the bump that formed on his head. "That friggin hurt, damnit!"
"Then don't speak ill of our goddess, brat."
"Why I oughta-"
Freya giggled at the squabble her captain and the strange boy immersed themselves into. Ottar put Naruto in a headlock and gave him a noogie, and everything crumbled from there.
"You like that, you brat?!"
"AIE AIE AIE AIE AIE KNOCK IT OFF YOU SENILE GEEZER YOU'RE GONNA SET MY HEAD ON FIRE!"
"Maybe that will teach you some respect!"
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
They both stopped what their doing at the sound of laughter, turning their wide eyes to look at Freya, who collapsed to the ground with tears in her eyes as she laughed. The sight of his goddess's laughter warmed Ottar's heart in ways that he couldn't have possibly imagined.
Naruto, on the other hand, was irked at the fact that him getting abused caused it.
Freya couldn't remember the last time she's ever laughed like this, or if she ever had. The feeling of just laughing her heart out was exhilarating for her, and she couldn't help but laugh some more.
Her laugh was infectious, and soon enough Ottar and Naruto both joined her in laughing. Well, Ottar chuckled, but that was as good as anyone could get out of the Warlord of the Freya familia. It took several minutes for them to calm down, but to Freya they were the greatest minutes of her immortal life.
Silence claimed the room once they calmed down, none speaking up. Naruto grew tired of this real quick.
"I think you already know this since the old man just explained it to ya, but I'm gonna join your familia in exchange for your help finding my sister." Naruto said, looking at the goddess with cerulean eyes. She nodded.
"Ottar has told me of this, yes."
"And will you?"
"I don't believe I can. You see, your sister has recently been found inside a crystal by the Loki familia, an ally turned friendly rival of our own familia."
Naruto's eyes blew open as hope glimmered in it, tears building up in the corner of them. "Are you serious?! Please tell me you're not joking! They found my sister?!"
Freya's warm gaze answered him. "I believe they did, Naruto." She handed a newspaper to the shaking blonde, who grasped it with shaking hands.
Opening the paper, his eyes unshed tears.
"It's her…" He sank to the ground, the floodgates in his eyes giving way as he cried. "It's really her… it says her name there…"
The goddess looked at her captain, who nodded, and lowered herself to be level with Naruto.
"Yes, Naruto. Aiz Namikaze Wallenstein has been found, and is now a child of the Loki familia. Your sister is safe."
The 8 year old cried even harder, throwing himself into Freya's arms as he wept in joy. Freya's arms wrapped around him softly, comforting him as he cried. Her captain knelt beside the boy too, placing a hand on Naruto's shoulder and giving him a small smile.
While he was crying, Freya decided to take a look at his soul. Shock and adoration blossomed within her as she gazed at the bright, translucent soul that she held. It was so pure she couldn't help but fall in love with it.
But as she gazed into the boy's soul, something vile washed over her. Her eyes trembled as the bright and pure soul was replaced by something so evil she couldn't begin to describe it.
'What is that…' she thought shakily. 'How could such a bright young soul hold something so evil, so blood-'
Her blood froze. Comprehension escaped her as she failed to grasp what she was witnessing.
Dread filled her being as she gazed into the abyss. She felt it at first, but now? She saw it.
When she looked into the abyss of the boy's soul,
The abyss looked back.
With red, infernal, furious eyes.
"Be gone. You do not belong here"
She found herself expelled from the boy's soul, lurching her back slightly as she panted. Her eyes trembled as she looked at Naruto, who looked up at her with tearful eyes of concern.
"My lady! What is the matter?!" Ottar reacted swiftly at the sight of his goddess's distress, kneeling beside her as she regained her bearings.
Freya gulped. "Naruto, your soul…" Naruto wiped the tears from his eyes as he focused on Freya. "Your soul is so beautiful… so bright and pure, nothing like I've ever seen before. I could look at it for the rest of my life and never get bored of it."
Freya paused for a second, taking a breath to calm herself. "But there's something in there that is terrifying. Something primordial that I can't even comprehend. It's like a void, completely black and scary. But there's something there, something… something I can't even begin to describe…"
Naruto's wide eyes gained a look of shock to them, before they drooped down. "I'm sorry…" the look on his face broke Freya's heart. It was so sad.
"Oh Naruto, there's nothing to be sorry for." Freya once more embraced the child in a hug, one he quickly returned. "It's part of who you are. There's nothing wrong with you. In fact, I think that duality makes you even more special." She lifted Naruto's head to look at her eyes, an action he allowed to happen.
As she stared into Naruto's eyes, Freya could feel love begin to form in her. She could tell that this boy was different, a feeling in her gut told her. She felt as though she could get lost in them, they looked so beautiful to her. Like an endless sky devoid of impurities, or an ocean cleaner than anything she could think of.
Her pupils began to transform into hearts as she continued staring at Naruto. I can't help myself anymore. I'm sorry Naruto, but you're too beautiful for me to let go. Plea-' she snapped out of her reverie as she felt a familiar feeling build up within her. The same wretched feeling that's been cursing her since the day she was born. The power of her charm.
'No… Oh no no no no NO!'
Her face became full of fear as the feeling built up, with the boy in her arms none the wiser. She looked at her captain, a fearful look that Ottar recognized. He's had to deal with this multiple times, so he didn't hesitate in bolting out the door. It was instinctive at this point, having dealt with it so many times.
It would prove to be a great mistake.
"OTTAR WAIT! NARUTO WILL-" Ottar's eyes widened as he cursed himself for his negligence.
He shut his eyes tightly as he slammed the door behind him just as violet light covered the room his goddess resided in. 'I'm sorry Naruto.'
Several seconds went by until he saw the violet light vanish beneath him. As soon as he felt it was safe to go in, he slammed the doors open to reveal a distraught Freya, who was holding Naruto in her arms while crying.
"No, I didn't mean it. Please, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Naruto, I didn't mean for this to happen. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" Ottar shut his eyes as he listened to the cries of his goddess, turning his head to the side as he mourned the loss of the child's individuality.
"I didn't mean to charm you, Naruto. Please forgive me…" Freya couldn't stop crying, after so long she had found someone she thought she could truly love. Someone who, in a number of years, could hold her hand and walk with her as they fell in love. The soul of the boy she'd instantly grown to love would forever be robbed of its identity, becoming another victim to her charm.
Her curse.
'I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. Why, why must I be cursed like this. Why must I always lose the chance to find my love. To find my-'
A hand brushed her face, thumb beneath her eyes moving in a way to wipe her tears. She snapped her eyes wide open, staring into the glowing eyes of the boy she thought she had charmed.
"Why are you crying?" His tone didn't sound dead as he spoke, his eyes still possessed the glimmer that was originally there. And they were glowing. "Why are you sorry? You didn't do anything to me, y'know."
Neither of the adults could speak, too shocked to say anything. No one had ever resisted her curse before, gods and mortals alike. To see this happen was the first for them.
Freya's hope soared as she looked at the boy. Could it be…
"Naruto?"
"Ya?"
"Naruto?..."
"That's my name."
"NARUTO!"
"GACK! Hey hey hey ease up on the squeeze would ya?!"
Freya clutched Naruto to her chest as she bawled. Fears and terror transformed into elation and happiness as her tears spilled from her eyes.
"I'm so happy… I'm so happy you're ok… Thank you!..."
Naruto stopped his struggle as he allowed himself to be rocked in the crying goddess's arms, wrapping his own around her. "Uh, glad I could help? There, there? Oye geezer, help me! What do I do to comfort Ms. Freya?!"
Ottar didn't say a word to him, a tear propped next to his eye as he smiled at the miracle his goddess was holding. He just gave a thumbs up at him.
"That doesn't help at all, you useless ape! GAH, someone help meee."
Several minutes passed them as Freya wept, holding Naruto close to her chest as Ottar watched. Eventually, she calmed down enough to let him go.
Naruto sighed in relief. "Phew, I thought you were gonna snap me in two you were hugging me so hard, lady. I'm too young to be walkin like an old man, y'know."
Freya giggled wobbly, still not entirely recovered from her bawling. "I'm sorry, I was just so happy that my curse doesn't work on you is all."
His head tilted. "What curse? You don't seem really cursed to me, y'know."
You see, I've been cursed with the ability to charm people." Freya's voice broke slightly, but she powered on. "It's the power to make people love you, and become a mindless slave for you to use. I can- I can control it most of the time, but sometimes it just escapes me, like right now. If Ottar hadn't left the room, he would have been caught in my curse."
"Oh wow," the boy's mouth formed an O. "That's one helluva power, lady."
"Yes, it's something I've been plagued with my entire life."
"Well it's a good thing I'm awesome! Your charm has no effect on me, MWAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Freya giggled again at the boy's attempt to lighten up the mood, which succeeded. She felt very relieved at Naruto's immunity to her charms, a sentiment Ottar shared with her. "Yes, it would appear so. You are far too awesome for me to charm."
Ottar stood at attention as he looked at the joyful face of his goddess. He didn't want to interrupt the bonding that his lady was doing with their newest member, but he knew he had to.
"If I may, my lady." He spoke up, gaining the attention of the child and goddess. "I believe it's time for him to gain his falna. We have completed his demand, however roundabout it may be, so I believe that this would be the perfect time for him to join."
Freya's eyes lit up as she clapped her hands in delight. "Ah, that's right! We should give you my falna so you can join my familia, Naruto." She turned to the bright boy, who looked excited.
"What do you say?"
Naruto bounced excitedly as he sat. "Ya, let's do it! I would be a total loser to not go through with my part of the deal, y'know."
"Mufufu, alright then. Stay seated while I make you my child."
"Eh? That sounded super weird."
The back and forth served to brighten the atmosphere they were in, a much needed contrast to the gloomy and oppressive aura that had been there before. Freya grabbed a needle and pricked her finger, allowing her blood to drip onto his back.
"Here we go~"
Light shone behind Naruto as the falna was inscribed onto his back, glowing with power as the excelia he had absorbed from slaying all those monsters in the forest. A minute later, and they were finished.
"And we are finished." Freya spoke behind him as she turned towards Ottar. She wanted to read her newest child's status with him. "I'm excited to read your status. Ottar, be a dear and get me the paper, would you?"
"Right away goddess." Zip and zoom, Ottar returned with the paper in less than a second, handing it to the goddess's outstretched hand. She placed the paper on Naruto's back as his status burned into the paper for him to see. She handed him the paper and leaned on his back to look at the paper as well, promptly being followed by the boaz captain as well.

Their eyes grew wider and wider with each word that passed their eyes. When they finished,Ottar and Freya looked at Naruto in shock. Ottar grew incredibly excited at the potential Naruto possessed, imagining all the glory that he would bring to the Freya familia and their goddess. Freya felt the same way, but her mind was stuck on one thing alone. His skill *Vanadis Odr*.
Her vision went blurry once more at the confirmation she got to her earlier hope. She had done it, she'd finally found him, her Odr. Her destined one. Her love.
"Naruto…" Her voice went wobbly again, prompting said boy to swivel his head and look at her. He wasted no time in jumping back, turning his body to the side with his leg bent in the air as he hugged his body tightly.
"Nuh uh, you don't get to squish me into Naruto paste this time, y'know?!"
Freya didn't stop her sniffling and Naruto caught Ottar slowly backing away from the goddess.
'Traitor'
Turning his gaze back to the goddess, he was horrified at the kicked puppy look Freya had adopted. The same look his sister used whenever she didn't get something she wanted. 'Ahhh crap…'
"..."
"..."
";"
"...fine…"
"NARUTOOOO~" Freya lept into the air and tackled Naruto to the ground, squishing him between her and it as she cried in joy and relief. Naruto could only groan in pain as he was once more subjected to being a crying pillow for the bawling goddess. 'How many times can a girl cry in a single hour? OTTAR HALP!'
Ottar didn't do anything of the sort. He merely waited for his goddess to finish with a pleased grin on his face. He may have been overjoyed at Naruto's potential, but he still enjoyed seeing the boy suffer. He was too cheeky and disrespectful, so Ottar had to find a way to curb that. It totally wasn't because he was called an old geezer, no sir.
'Serves you right, boy. Suffer for my enjoyment.'
'YOU BASTARD!'
After Freya finished crying again, she stood up.
"Well," she started, holding out a hand for Naruto to take. "I think we've spent enough time cooped up here. It's still early in the night, so how about we go see Loki and her familia?"
Naruto perked up at that. "That's the one Aiz is in right? Right?!"
"Yes, Naruto. Let's go see this little Aiz, shall we?"
"YAHOO! I'M COMING MY LITTLE SISTER! WAIT FOR YOUR BIG BROTHER, I'LL COME SEE YOU RIGHT AWAY!" Naruto bolted out the door in excitement, much to the amusement of Ottar and Freya.
Ottar turned to the goddess. "Are you ok, my lady? You were crying quite a bit."
"I am doing more than ok, Ottar." Freya said. "I am the happiest I've been my entire life. I've finally found the one I will later call my Odr. After so many centuries of searching, I've finally found him. All thanks to you, Ottar." She turned her head to the boaz, who's heart melted at the vulnerable and happy look Freya gave him. "Thank you so much, I am the most blessed goddess to have received a child like you."
Ottar's face turned to bliss at the goddess's words and his bliss deepened when the goddess pulled him in a hug. It was the most contact that he had ever experienced with Freya, so by every god in existence was he going to enjoy it. Eventually, she pulled back.
Freya smiled at him again. "Come, Ottar. Let us make haste, we don't want Naruto to get lost and run into one of the other's now, do we?"
Ottar chuckled. "No, we do not. He would probably start a fight with any of them. Though I think Hogni and Naruto would get along very well." Freya giggled in response
Suddenly, Naruto's head popped up in the doorway. "Do any of you guys know how to get out of here? I kinda got lost."

'100. 101. 102. 103…' A blonde girl counted the number of swings she performed in her head. She was focused on her task, not allowing anything around her to distract her from her training.
It's been several weeks since she woke up, several weeks since these new people told her she had been put into this stay-sis thingy. The 7 year old couldn't understand the big word the nice lady used, but it sounded something like that.
Ever since she had found out her brother was missing, she had been inconsolable, locking herself away in training as the black flame within her blazed uncontrollably. She didn't mind, it helped her get stronger. Anything that could help her get her big brother back would help.
Revenge could be put on hold for now, her top priority was finding her brother. Getting stronger would help her find her brother, the same way her brother's strength protected her.
So deeply immersed was she in her training she didn't notice the call of her name being sounded out by an elf. "Aiz! There's someone here to see you!"
Aiz looked at the elf blankly, her gold eyes lacking any light in them. "Riveria…"
"Hello Aiz." Riveria bent down and smiled, hoping to warm the girl. She didn't. "There's someone here to see you. He's at the front of the Twilight Manor."
Aiz turned her attention away from Riveria. "Mm" She didn't bother properly responding, she had more important things to do. She had to get stronger to find big brother, she couldn't let some random distract her from that.
"He's with the Freya familia, Aiz"
"Mm"
"He said his name was Naruto"
"M-"
Aiz swerved her head to look at the elf, eyes wide in shock and disbelief. Riveria nodded at the girl. "Yes, he's claiming to be your-"
"Biggy bro…" Aiz sprinted down to the exit of the training grounds, leaving Riveria behind without a second thought.
Aiz couldn't think, she couldn't think of anything else than getting to the front of the manor, sprinting with all the speed she could muster to get there in time. She was approaching the corner to turn to the exit when she heard it.
"Hey let me in! I wanna see my little sister! I'm trying to get to my sister Aiz!"
"We told you kid, even if you're part of the Freya familia you can't get in without permission from our goddess or one of the executives."
"Screw both of them with a flaming stick of monster crap! I don't care about that! Let me go see my sister!"
"OI GET BACK HERE YOU BRAT!"
Aiz had just turned the corner to see the figure of the one she loved most in the world, grappling and fighting his way into the manor with little success. Tears welled up in her eyes at the sight of him. "Big brother…"
Naruto kicked the guard holding him and looked at Aiz, eyes widening as well. He didn't hesitate and sprinted towards the little girl, Aiz following suit.
"AIZ!"
"BIG BROTHER!"
They embraced each other tightly, hugging each other for dear life as Aiz bawled like she never had before. Relief filled her as she held the only family she had left, crying with every bit of emotion she possessed.
"BIG BROTHER! YOU'RE ALIVE! YOU'RE OK! WAAAAAAH!" Naruto hugged Aiz close to his chest, tears streaking down his own face silently as he held her. He whispered comforts to her as she cried, trying to placate the girl who thought she lost all of her family. "I'm here, Aiz. I'm here. It's alright, let it all out. I'm here."
"WAAAAAAH"
The sound of the girl crying brought all of the residents to the front, watching her bawl into the comfort of her brother. Cooes could be heard as the women looked adoringly at the two, though 1 redheaded goddess was also crying comedically at the heartfelt reunion the two were experiencing. Freya stared lovingly at the two's love for each other, adoring the way both their souls shined with a purity and beauty that left her in awe and ecstasy.
Neither of the two siblings cared, they were just happy that they were reunited.
After 1000 years, they were finally reunited.
Gently, Naruto thumbed his sister's chin to look at her face, stained in tears though it may be. He smiled lovingly at her, like any brother would to their sister. "I've missed you, Aiz. It's been a long 1000 years without you."
Aiz sniffed. "Big brother…"
"I won't ever leave you again, lil sis. Never." Aiz regained her tears, tears that were thumbed away by Naruto. "Don't cry now, Aiz. You're much more beautiful when you smile."
Naruto grinned at her widely, his fangs prominently displaying themselves for all the onlookers to see. His eyes squinted so tightly they appeared shut, an action that showed just how happy he was at the moment.
Aiz giggled, grinning just as widely as her brother, just as happy as him. Her own small fangs were seen, slightly shocking those of the Loki familia, though none of them made any sound to signify it. They didn't want to ruin this touching moment between the brother and sister.
Naruto and Aiz stood up, holding each other's hand as they walked up to Freya, who gazed upon them with blushing cheeks and a loving gaze not unlike that of a mothers.
"Miss Freya! Ottar! This is my little sister Aiz! Isn't she the cutest?!" He exclaimed, gesturing to the blushing Aiz with zealous hands (Think of Tanjiro). Freya nodded just as zealous as the boy and squealed, Ottar putting a hand on her shoulder to prevent her from squishing the cutely blushing Aiz. "Oh she looks like the most adorable little girl I've ever seen in my life!"
Aiz blushed even brighter than before, bowing down to Freya just like Naruto had taught her.
"S-Sank you very muchu…" Her little accent was the breaking point for Freya, who suplex slammed Ottar into the ground and bounded towards the tiny half spirit. (If she's Naruto's sister, who is a half spirit himself, then it's obvious that Aiz is one as well. Plus she is half spirit in canon as well)
"Ooohhh you are just the cutest little girl ever!~ It's no wonder you're related to Naruto, you're both just so cuuuuuute!" She squealed as she rubbed and pinched Aiz's cheeks as though they were dough, much to the cute annoyance of the said girl.
"Muuuuu. Shtahp dat. Pwease~~" Freya only squealed and continued.
"You cow! How dare you lay your grubby hands on my Aizy-poo! Let her go right now!" The redhead declared, finally having enough of the sight of her rival goddess getting all chummy with her Aiz. Those cheeks were hers alone to play with, no one else!
Freya stopped her playing, releasing the cheeks of the pouting girl to address her fellow goddess. "Hello Loki."
"Hello Freya, hope you had fun turning my Aizy-poo to mush."
"Oh I had ple-"
"Oi, hold up. Your Aizy-poo? Back off, she's mine. That's my sister you're talking about, y'know."
The goddesses weren't able to get into their usual banter as Naruto butted in, looking at Loki with a pout and squinted eyes. Aiz thought it made him look like a fox, and so did everybody else.
Loki's eyes gained hearts at the sight. "Ohhh look at you, you're adorable!" She proceeded to play with his cheeks like Freya did to Aiz. "Ah~ these cheeks are so squishyyyyy!"
"Oi oi oi, what do ya think yer doing! Put mah cheeks down raight now!" Naruto exclaimed as his turn for being assaulted arrived. Aiz pouted in the corner.
"Oooh you even have whiskers too! Do you purr if I touch it? Oh I wanna know, I wanna know!"
"OI OI KEEP YER CREEPY CRAWLIES AWAY FROM MAH WHISKERS!"
Freya gained a dangerous aura to her, smiling menacingly at Loki. "Loki dear, I hope you aren't trying to pet those cute whiskers of his before I do." Everyone took at least two steps back from the angry goddess.
Loki raised an eyebrow. "Well duh, you squished my Aizy-poo. It's only fair I do the same to little
Naru-kyun."
"Naru-kyu- OI!"
"I very much am saying that, Loki. Now get your hands off my child and let's talk."
"Hm, I don't think I-"
A purr interrupted their conversation. Everyone blinked, turning their heads to the direction of Naruto as he purred. Loki's finger was grazing and scratching his whisker involuntarily. It wasn't something he was even aware of, like all of his awareness went out the window and basked in the feeling of the petting.
Loki grinned at the sound. "Oh ya, I'm definitely taking you with me." She just couldn't get enough of it! It was just too cute!
"Do not even joke about such things, Loki. He is part of my familia. Attempting to take him would be the same as declaring war on us." Freya's frigid voice sent shivers down everyone's spine, Loki more so as she took a glimpse at the love goddess's eyes.
'EEEP! YANDERE ALERT! YANDERE ALERT! ALL HANDS ON DECK WE HAVE AN ANGRY YANDERE GLARING AT ME!' Loki thought, terrified of the look in Freya's frigid violet eyes promised only death and bloodshed should she even attempt to take Naruto for herself. Loki knew Freya would be possessive of the cute boy, but to this extent? To the point she looked like she would commit mass genocide to the entirety of her familia, herself included?
Ya, no thanks. She was fine with just her Aizy-poo. That was enough for her,
Loki raised her hands up in surrender, slowly backing up from the boy, nervously chuckling. "Ok, you win. I won't try to snatch Naru-kyun for myself."
"Good." Freya snatched Naruto closer to her, hugging him close to her bust much to the boy's embarrassment. "Naruto is mine, and mine alone. I won't allow anyone else to even think about taking him from me."
Aiz pouted in dismay. She was looking forward to having her big brother in the same familia as her. They could have gotten strong together and taken down all the baddies together. She glared cutely at Freya. 'Meanie poo…'
Ottar made his presence known with a cough, turning all their attention to him. "This meeting was just to help Naruto confirm that his sister is safe and not in danger. I believe we will be ready to head out, my lady?"
Freya nodded. "After this, Ottar. I was thinking of exchanging status sheets with Loki, to compare our two little cutie-pies. I will show you my Naruto's status in exchange for seeing Aiz's. Does that sound acceptable?"
Loki raised an eyebrow skeptically. "And what could you possibly gain from that Freya. Knowing you, there's some sort of scheme being concocted up in your crazy head."
"There's no ulterior motives, Loki." Freya giggled, grabbing Naruto's status sheet she had Ottar hold. "I simply wish to compare our two new familia members is all."
Sensing Freya's words to be the truth, she turned towards Gareth, an executive of her familia, and had him bring Aiz's latest status sheet. Once she had it in hand, the two of them exchanged them. Naruto and Aiz pouted in tandem, still upset at the whole thing that transpired previously.

-Status-
"Oh my, this is very impressive. Very impressive indeed." Freya muttered to herself, but smirked due to her knowledge of Naruto's own status, which far exceeded Aiz's.
"I know my little sis is amazing, but this is beyond awesome! Aiz you totally rule!" Naruto picked up Aiz in a hug and twirled her around, enciting her laughter.
"THERE'S NO FRICKIN WAY THAT BOY HAS SO MANY OP SKILLS! AND WHAT IS EVEN WITH THESE STATS?! THESE ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO GET IN SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME!" Loki yelled, shocked out of her mind about Naruto's status. Aiz escaped her brother's hug and ran over to Loki, snatching the paper and reading the contents for herself.
"Big brother's so cool…" she whispered in awe, looking at her brother in adoration. It was this moment that truly cemented her idolization for Naruto. She wanted to catch up to him, to the boy she considered her hero.
"Hehe…" Naruto chuckled sheepishly as everyone's gaze turned to him, unable to believe the contents of the paper they had just read. "Oomph!" Aiz slammed herself into Naruto, gazing up at him with stars in her eyes. "You're amazing, big brother. The coolest big brother ever!"
Freya giggled into her hand, prompting Loki to glare at her. The love goddess spoke up. "Well, I believe we should get going now. Naruto, come along. We'll come visit the Loki familia again tomorrow. You and Aiz can go dungeon diving tomorrow if you'd like."
"Can we really?!" Both Naruto and Aiz looked at Freya with stars in their eyes. Loki nodded in Freya's place. "Ya, go ahead. Jus' make sure ya have someone strong ta keep an eye on ya, capiche?"
"Indeed. I'll have Hogni watch over them so they don't get hurt. He's a level 4 now, so nothing in the upper floors will be able to bother him."
"Sounds good. Say goodbye, kids. You'll get to see each other again tomorrow."
Naruto and Aiz became sad at the fact that they would be leaving each other again after just being reunited. Aiz looked at Naruto with big eyes, tears forming at the corner of them. "You promise that you'll come visit tomorrow big brother?" Her shaky voice struck a cord in everyone's heart at that moment. The pain in them was far greater than they had expected there to be.
Naruto nodded, sad he was leaving his sister as well. "I promise, Aiz. We'll go dungeon diving tomorrow and have tons of fun killing bad guys, ok?"
"Mm, ok…"
Naruto brought his lips to Aiz's forehead, kissing them for the first time in 1000 years. He pulled away to look at Aiz. "I'll be going now, ok? I'll see you tomorrow"
"O-ok bi-big brother…"
Naruto turned around to face the direction of Freya and Ottar, following them as they waited for him. Aiz watched him with sad eyes, unable to accept her brother leaving her again.
"BIG BROTHER!" She sprinted across the field to Naruto, her vision blurry with renewed tears.
Naruto turned to face Aiz in time to see her nearing him. He smiled, raising his index and middle finger to poke his little sister's forehead when she got close.
"Owww… Big brotheeeer~" She whined at the stinging on her forehead, making Naruto laugh. "That's what you get for trying to ambush me like that, lil sis."
"Muuuuu~ you meanie poo!"
"Hehehe, maybe I am one"
Naruto smiled brightly at Aiz one more time before resuming his journey back to Folkvangr, the home of the Freya familia. "I'll see you soon Aiz. I can't wait to play again."
Aiz nodded tearfully, it seemed like tears was the theme of the day for her, and waved at the retreating form of her brother. "See you tomorrow, big brother! I- I can't wait to play with you again! Let's play a lot tomorrow, ok!"
Naruto raised his arm to his side, lifting his thumb in confirmation to Aiz's declaration. He would definitely make good on that. A stray thought hit his head. 'I must look so cool right now'
"Big brother… that's so uncool." Aiz chopped Naruto's thoughts to ribbons, though he knew not of it. "Still, I'm glad you're here now." She turned away from the departing members of the Freya familia. "I'll catch up to you, big brother. Just you watch."
And so, as the night's moon reached its apex, two legends were created. A brother and sister that would cause the beginning of a new era in Orario. The era that many dreamed of coming back once again.
The Age of Heroes
"Your training begins tomorrow morning at 4, Naruto. Do not be late."
"WHA? YOU SHITTY GEEZER THAT'S IN BARELY 4 HOURS!"
"I don't care. Be ready."
"DAMNIIIIIIITTTT!"
