About another few days passed in Orario, nothing much has changed in the city except for the fact that the sky is nowhere to be seen because of the dark clouds that covers it all.
Over the passing few days; there has been a constant storm that plagues the livelihood of the citizens where the usual cheery and livelihood is replaced by a dark yet moody atmosphere.
At the Hearth Mansion; Bell is by the window and is looking at the dark skies outside. He didn't look like he liked to see them since the dark clouds have been there for at least a few days which wasn't normal by any normal standards.
"Seems like we can't go and dry our laundry again." Welf called out from behind as Bell turns to see the blacksmith with Mikoto carrying their laundry baskets that hasn't been dried since there was no sun to dry them out in the open. "we got to wait yet again."
"Bell-dono, are you still looking outside?" Mikoto asked after spotting the young man standing by the window.
"yeah.." Bell replied with a nod before he looks back outside. "it's already been 4 days since this storm came and it hasn't let up ever since. It's so strange."
"Seems that nature just doesn't want to let the sun shines its ray for a while." Welf said with a shrug before he walked to the stairs, presumably to store away the undried laundry.
"Welf-dono is right, Bell-dono." Mikoto said. "Things like this are usual at some times."
Mikoto then followed after Welf while leaving Bell to his own agenda and that is to stare at the dark clouds floating above.
"Something just doesn't feel right." Bell said as he is completely oblivious that his father's locket has its blue gem glowing repeatedly.
Meanwhile at Mirana's café. There is Melinoe, Polemos, and Makaria who are sitting by a table and having a cup of tea and coffee together while looking at the dark clouds above.
"Dark storm for four days straight." Melinoe said as she held her cup of tea before glancing at her siblings. "Seems that Zagreus is getting closer by the passing second."
"Very close." Makaria added in before taking a sip of her tea through her mouth mask. "This type of storm means he is just a few hundred miles away."
"he must be taking slow steps as usual." Polemos said as he sips his cup of coffee and drinks a big gulp then turns to the side to look at Mirana sitting inside her café. "Mirana, another cup of coffee, please."
"right'o." Mirana replied as she soon began making another batch of coffee.
"Wonder what's taking Ploutos and Thalia from coming here?" Melinoe said as she sips her tea and then place the cup to the table. "They should've arrived before Zagreus, right?"
"They should." Makaria said before she looks up and pointed at the sky. "or right about now."
Melinoe and Polemos looks up and saw two giant flaming fireballs falling straight for Orario.
"For the love of." Polemos said while getting off his seat. "That brother of ours sure has a screw loose in his head."
"Thalia must've gotten force to do it with him." Makaria added in.
"from their trajectory…" Melinoe said as she looks at the large fireballs that are falling straight for Orario. "Somewhere southwest of the map."
The three siblings soon looked at each other.
"you don't think….?" Polemos said.
"I got this with Makaria." Melinoe said as she stood off her seat and suddenly disappears in a red blur.
Makaria snaps her fingers twice and created a portal that she quickly runs into before it disappears.
Polemos is left alone with Mirana who came and placed a fresh cup of coffee on the table for the Arc Kaiser.
"Seems that Orario will be noisy for a while." Mirana said as she started to take away the empty cups of teas that Melinoe and Makaria had finished back to her café.
"Seems so." Polemos replied as he looks at the fireballs that are just falling somewhere before he takes his cup of coffee and gulps the whole content down his throat.
At the western area of Orario; screams from citizens were heard as many saw the large balls of fire that are falling from the sky. Many panicked and run away from the area; just fleeing for their lives.
The two large fireballs flies and falls from the sky as the two are heading straight to the location of the Hearth Mansion where Haruhime who was sweeping the front yard; saw and soon screamed in fright.
Before long, Melinoe appears in front of her in a blur as the Blade Kaiser raises her right hand and gusts of air formed upon her palm and became a sphere of wind that she pulls back before swinging forward to unleash a heavy cyclone that grew and sucked in the two fireballs into the center vortex.
Makaria soon came into the scene from a portal, the Mage Kaiser wields the Kaiser Blade that she draws out and then points the tip of the blade at the cyclone.
"Breath of Cocytus" Makaria chanted and the weapon's blade glows icy blue then unleashes a blizzard of ice to the cyclone and made it into a snow tornado that died down the flames of the fireballs that dissipates and reveals two large metal spheres.
Melinoe controls the cyclone that slowly descends the two large metal spheres that landed gently upon the Hearth Mansion's courtyard.
"haaaa. That knucklehead sure makes headaches for us." Melinoe said while sighing as she waves a hand to the side.
"no kidding." Makaria agreed with a nod while sheathing the Kaiser Blade back to its scabbard.
"w-what's going on?" Haruhime asked while shaking scared on the ground.
"Haruhime-san!" Bell came running out with the rest of his Familia following behind as everyone went straight to the renard maid with the two female Kaisers. "Aunt Melinoe!? Aunt Makaria?! What's going on?!"
"sorry about the little commotion, Bell." Melinoe told her nephew who helped Haruhime stand up to her feet. She then turns back to look at the large metal spheres nearby. "it's just your other knucklehead of an uncle who decided to do something stupid to get to Orario."
"eh?" Bell looks confused before he and the others sees the two metal spheres expanding their shapes while unleashing steam and each one had a part slide out as a doorway. "what?"
"man, I was sure that we would've landed at the western gate." A voice spoke out from within one of the two metal spheres as everyone sees two figures coming out of the metal spheres. "must've made a miscalculation with the trajectory and everything."
"This is no laughing matter." Another voice spoke as the jingles of metal pieces were heard from another metal sphere. "We might've accidently landed somewhere that we didn't want to be at."
"you two got a lot of explaining to do." Melinoe called out while crossing her arms under her chest. "Who the heck got the idea of you two travelling here by sitting in a catapult ball that became a flaming fireball falling from the sky?"
"sorry, sorry. That was my idea." The first voice spoke as a man came out from one of the metal spheres. "Thought it would get us faster here than walking or flying."
"you really have a screw loose, Ploutos-nii." Makaria said with a sigh escaping her lips. "a massive screw loose."
"I've heard that countless of times." The man replied with a smirk as he is Ploutos Kaiser; the Iron God Kaiser. A man in his middle 20s, has long black sleek hair with long side cuts, and a few lightning bolts lines under his eyes. His attire is that of a black and yellow jumpsuit with several lightning bolt designs, he also wears silver and black gloves, and black boots of shoes. "man, never thought that our rides would become flaming fireballs. That was a mistake on my side."
"I've told you that contacting Makaria for aid would've been better, Brother Ploutos." Another voice is heard as everyone sees a woman exiting the other metal sphere as she is Thalia Kaiser; the Saint Kaiser. "but you just insists that we arrive to Orario through your insane methods."
Her overall appearance looks very similar to Makaria as she is also a half elf, but her hair is purple and short, she wears a white shirt with the black jacket that has white lines on top and is zipped up to her neck, gray jeans, and white heels. She also has silver armlets, and arm and legs straps. Unlike with the Mage Kaiser whose face is fully covered with a red blindfold and a half mask. The Saint Kaiser wears a white blindfold that covers her eyes while also wielding a silverish black staff that has a cross on top with rings attached to holes on each side.
"you two are….?" Bell spoke out as he looks at Ploutos and Thalia who looks back at him. "Uncle P-Ploutos….and A-Aunt Thalia?"
"well, well. Looks like we came to the right spot." Ploutos said with a small smirk of a grin. "can't believe we get to meet our grown up nephew so soon."
"He grew up into a fine young man who looks identical to his mother and father." Thalia added in with a kind smile. "Meteria would be so proud."
Bell looks at the two in surprise and confusion before Makaria went and patted his head a few times.
"we've told you that the rest of the Kaisers are coming to Orario, right Bell?" Makaria said while smiling under her mask. "They came as called by your father who wants us to take care of you until he arrives."
Bell nods slowly before Ploutos grabs and started ruffling his hair like a playful big brother does to his little brother.
"you little rabbit boy sure look a lot like your father when he was your age!" Ploutos said with a grin. "can't wait to tease your old man about it!"
"Hey, Ploutos. Stop doing that to your own nephew." Melinoe sternly told the Iron God Kaiser. "the last time you did it when Bell was still a baby, Zagreus nearly chopped your head off, remember?"
"eh?" Bell and the Hestia Familia looks surprised as they soon imagined the Iron God Kaiser doing a head noogie on a baby Bell while being glared demonically by Zagreus Kaiser who stands behind him and the group just imagines him as a demon with glowing red eyes and a sword for a hand. 'Scary!'
"anyway, now that five of us are here. We only need to wait on Zagreus." Makaria said while crossing her arms under her chest. "with the storm being this thick and dense. It'll only be a matter of a few hours before he comes."
"he's coming soon?" Bell asked while being freed from Ploutos' arm lock. "My father is…?"
"yes, we saw him on our way here." Thalia said with a nod. "he said that he's fine with just walking towards Orario."
"wouldn't be such a surprise considering his stature and everything." Melinoe replied while shrugging her shoulders. "the strongest Kaiser has to make a dramatic entrance like always, right?"
"in this age? I guess so" Ploutos added in while crossing his arms. "by the way, where's Polemos?"
In a flash of red lightning and a roar of thunder, Polemos suddenly appears standing near the group as his name was mentioned.
"Here." Polemos said as his sudden appearance made Bell and his Familia look in shock and in surprise.
"What took you so long to get here?" Makaria asked the Arc Kaiser who crosses his arms.
"I wanted to enjoy some coffee before getting here, you got a problem with that?" Polemos replied while raising an eyebrow.
"anyway, with all of us here. I suggest we wait and prepare for Zagreus' arrival." Melinoe chimed in while pointing at the stormy sky above. "he's getting closer and therefore we should prepare things because I know very well that he would try to ensure order in Orario first before coming to Bell."
"agreed" the four Kaisers agreed while nodding in unison.
"Ensure order in Orario? What does that mean?" Bell asked after hearing what Melinoe had said.
"it's nothing that you and your Familia need to worry about, Bell." Makaria said while patting her nephew's head. "just go back to your Home and wait for us to come with your father, alright? I'm sure the both of you have a lot of catching up to do with one another."
Bell looks at Makaria all confused for a moment, but he soon nods in compliance with her suggestion.
"scratch the waiting, The storm is getting stronger." Polemos called out as he is looking at the cloudy sky that is having flashes of lightning bolts dancing within its dark clouds. "he's getting closer and closer."
"He might be already arriving by the western gate." Makaria said. "we should go and wait for him."
The other Kaisers nod in unison before one by one; they all started to disappear in a flash.
"Stay inside and just wait for us, alright Bell?" Melinoe told Bell as she patted his head a few times before she disappeared in a red blur.
"Zagreus Kaiser is coming…." Lili spoke out in a whisper before she gulped.
"yeah… this is going to be big." Welf added in with a nod.
"for the strongest Kaiser to finally come to Orario." Mikoto whispered.
"w-what will happen in the future?" Haruhime asked
At the western gate of Orario; the Ganesha Familia's guards were looking in awe and in terrifying shock because they see a lone figure coming straight for the city while unleashing a terrible pressuring power that made them tremble and shiver in fright.
Zagreus Kaiser walks upon the land as the Bloody Kaiser is approaching Orario with his cape just fluttering behind him.
Step by step did the Kaiser take while his eyes glow red and blue under the visor of his helmet that gave him a menacing look.
The Ganesha Familia's guards just stood in their place while shaking in fear and didn't do anything when Zagreus came and walk pass them all one by one before entering through the gate and entered Orario in an instant.
When the Kaiser had entered and is no longer near the gate; all the Guards fell to their knees while gasping their breathes because no word could describe the power that Zagreus unleashed upon them.
Zagreus is now walking upon the streets of Orario as his path is clear of any obstacles because many of the citizens who saw him just instantly moved away; knowing that he is someone who they shouldn't mess with because of the utter power that he is unleashing.
There is only silence from the citizens as they all look nervously at Zagreus who walks in silence while his metallic footsteps slightly echoes when they step upon the concrete road.
Zagreus walks in silence as he just didn't give any attention to anyone who he passes by.
As the Kaiser walks upon the road; by a corner road came the Loki Familia who had heard that the leader of the Kaiser Familia had come to Orario.
"is that….Zagreus Kaiser?" Aiz asked as she and the others watched the armored man walk upon the street.
"yes." Finn said with a nod while sweating a bit. "This overwhelming pressure of power can only be from him after all."
"it's like… the air just got heavy when we're near him." Tiona said while rubbing a hand to her neck. "it's almost hard to breath."
"yeah." Tione nodded in agreement.
"so that guy is the strongest Kaiser?" Bete said with a growl.
"don't get any idea, Bete." Gareth stated sternly at the werewolf. "no one who had challenged Zagreus has ever survived and lived to tell the tale of their experiences. He is a powerful man who has no mercy for fools."
"h-he's that strong?" Lefiya asked as Gareth and Finn merely nods.
"strong doesn't truly describe the power that Zagreus has." Finn added in.
Everyone continues to watch Zagreus who walks upon the road and is getting smaller from the distance by the passing second.
Aiz watches the strongest Kaiser going somewhere before she notices that Riveria who she stands near to, is looking sad, longing, and happy towards where Zagreus is.
"Riveria? What's wrong?" Aiz asked as Lefiya also sees Riveria's face expression.
The Nine Hells looks at Zagreus' back as she gently grasped her right hand to her chest and held something underneath it.
Back with Zagreus himself, the Bloody Kaiser continues walking upon the street and soon stopped when Melinoe and the other Kaisers appeared before him in a flash.
"took you long enough." Melinoe said while crossing her arms under her chest. "we were waiting for almost a week on you."
"To be fair, me and Thalia just arrived." Ploutos stated in while Thalia nods
Zagreus stays silent for a moment as he stands in his place before he looks at Makaria.
"Where is he?" Zagreus spoke out as his voice is a bit echoing from under his helmet. "Where is my son?"
"At his Home." Makaria answered. "We told him to stay there while we get you."
"Makaria already placed a protection and concealment magic on him." Polemos added in "he's safe while we're here."
"What about the information that we needed?" Zagreus stated.
"I've already collected as much information there was possible in here." Makaria said while pointing at the side of her head.
Soon, Zagreus' eyes glows and flashes under his helmet and the Bloody Kaiser turns to face south of his position.
"Ploutos, Makaria, and Thalia prepare our Home." Zagreus said as he started walking away. "Polemos, and Melinoe. Do what you wish with the spies from that bitch's Familia but mind the level of destruction upon the city. afterwards; do as planned."
"got it." Melinoe said and Polemos as their eyes glows red before both turned and smirked darkly at several shadows hiding around the area.
The two soon disappears in a red and black flash as lightning bolts and explosions started to occur everywhere in the area that caused a panic and made many citizens run in fear.
"Seems that Zagreus doesn't intend to limit their actions, huh?" Ploutos said as he and the others watched Melinoe and Polemos who are beating up a bunch of dark outfitted people who they believe are spies of some Familia. "well, even he himself would have trouble trying to restrain them."
"seems so." Thalia replied while tapping her staff on the ground and making the rings jingle on her cross. "I would like to join as well, but since I have just arrived and is a bit tired. I must pass this chance to Sister Melinoe and Brother Polemos."
"that's not so surprising." Makaria said while shrugging her shoulders before she snaps her fingers twice and created a portal. "come on. Let's go and get Bell's room ready."
Ploutos and Thalia nods before they walked into the portal with Makaria that soon disappears while leaving the destruction that Polemos and Melinoe are causing at the area.
At the Hearth Mansion; Bell is staying in his Home with his Familia as he was told by Melinoe. The young boy sits on the couch with Hestia and the others; they were just silent as no one spoke a word to one another.
"u-um?" Haruhime broke the silence as everyone glanced at her. "w-would anyone l-like some tea?"
"I guess I'll have some." Welf said with a hand raised. "better drink something before we get all anxious when Bell's dad come."
"Lili too." Lili added in. "this is too silent, and Lili doesn't like it."
"Bell-sama and the others?" Haruhime asked to the rabbit captain and the others.
"I'm fine, I'll just help you in making the tea, Haruhime-dono." Mikoto said while getting off her seat and start walking to the kitchen first.
"I'm good too." Hestia said with a hand waved to the side. The goddess then sighs. "man, who would have ever thought that having a parent visiting our Familia would feel this tense?"
"this is the Kaisers we are talking about after all." Lili spoke as Welf nodded in agreement.
"Bell-sama?" Haruhime looks at the white haired young man who is looking to the window to the outside. "Bell-sama?"
"huh?" Bell responded by looking back at Haruhime. "What is it?"
"I've asked if you would like some tea?" the renard maid replied. "would you like some?"
"y-yeah. Thanks, Haruhime-san." Bell nodded as Haruhime nods back before she went to the kitchen.
"you alright, Bell-kun?" Hestia asked after seeing how Bell was off in his mind a moment ago. "you look… nervous?"
"i-I guess I am." Bell said as he looks down at his hands and sees how they were sweating. "for the first time, I'm going to meet my own father who I never knew I had; face to face." The young man clasped his hands a few times into fists before he takes a deep breath and then exhales. "it's also a bit of a surprise when I was told that I'm the son of a Kaiser too. The son of someone who is as legendary as many heroes of the past."
"we know how you feel, Bell.." Welf said with a nod. "but just because you're the son of a Kaiser, doesn't mean anything for you to us. You're still the same Bell that we know and love."
"Lili very much agrees." Lili said with a smile. "Bell-sama is always Bell-sama after all."
Hestia nods with a smile to the two's statement as she looks at Bell.
"don't worry, Bell-kun." Hestia said. "if you get nervous meeting your father, we'll be here to help you."
Bell looks at Hestia and then Welf and Lili as he smiles and nodded to the three.
Before long; there came the sound of the front gate's doorbell ringing that got everyone's attention.
"I'll get it!" Haruhime called out as Bell and the others sees the renard maid quickly walking across the hallway.
At the front gate stood Zagreus. The Kaiser stands in front of the closed gate that soon swings open for him to enter.
Zagreus walks within the front yard of the Hearth Mansion; the Kaiser just made his way to the Home where he stood at the front door and then gently knocks the door twice.
A second later; Haruhime answers the door and looks a bit in fright and surprise because of Zagreus' oppressive appearance that made her sweat in fear.
"w-welcome…" Haruhime spoke as she slowly bows to Zagreus. "a-are you… Z-Zagreus-sama?"
"Where is Bell?" Zagreus stated while his eyes glows under his helmet's visor. "Where is my son?"
"i-inside.." Haruhime said in a stutter as her tails had stand up with the fur puffed up. "S-Shall I f-fetch him?"
"no need." Zagreus replied. "open this door."
"y-yes." Haruhime replied as she opens the door fully and then bowed to Zagreus who walked right in.
Now that he has entered the Home; Zagreus walked in the hallway before he arrived at the Living Room where everyone instantly stands up with surprised faces to the Kaiser's entrance.
Zagreus stands in his place as he turns his head slightly at the direction of Bell who looks rather nervous. The Kaiser stares at the young boy as he saw the transparent figure of Meteria standing beside him, the woman smiled to the armored man before disappearing.
"You've done well in protecting him, Meteria" Zagreus spoke out in a long whispering voice as his words made Bell let out a confused yet surprised noise.
Zagreus reaches both hands to his helmet and pressed something that caused it to expand while unleashing steam. he lowers his arms down while his expanded helmet started to detach its pieces one by one while reattaching themselves to his shoulder pads, chest plate, and back piece.
Long blackish white hair flows out as Bell and the others look amaze, in awe, and in surprise because Zagreus' facial appearance is that of a half elf with long hair, he has a red left eye and a blue right eye that has a cross shaped scar running over it down to the cheek. His face just shows a lot of resemblance to his son but on a more mature scale.
"h-he looks just like Bell…." Welf said in a whisper. "that's just…..weird."
"he's like Bell-kun… but older.." Hestia added in.
"Lili… agrees" Lili nods. "although their eye colors….are a bit different in a way."
Bell looks at Zagreus as his eyes were filled with amazement and surprise because of him finally meeting his father face to face for the first time ever since he was an infant.
A few seconds later; the situation in the Hearth Mansion calmed down a bit but there is a tense atmosphere since the Hestia Familia has a very prestigious and legendary man in their Home.
"Here y-you go" Haruhime sets a cup of tea to the table as Zagreus sat on a couch that has Hestia and the others across it.
Zagreus glances at the cup of tea before Hestia and the others.
"I assume that I do not need to introduce myself to you all," Zagreus said as his eyes looked cold and his face expressionless, making Hestia and the others feel a bit awkward. "But considering the gratitude that I should have for the Familia that has been taking care of my son, I would like to do so by properly introducing myself." The Kaiser then did a quick swipe that combed some of his long hair behind his shoulders. "My name is Zagreus Kaiser; the Bloody Kaiser and the Leader of the Kaiser Familia. I am Bell Cranel's father."
"Yes… I-I'm Hestia, the goddess of Hearth. Pleased to meet you!" Hestia replied to the greeting with a quick head nod. "I'm the head of the Hestia Familia." She then did a hand motion to the others. "They're the members of my Familia. You know Bell-kun already, but over here is Liliruca Arde. She's our main supporter and someone who watches our money. Then there is Welf Crozzo, who's our Familia's blacksmith." The two named members did a head nod in greeting to Zagreus, who looked at them before turning to Hestia, who motioned her hand to the other members. "We also have Yamato Mikoto; a Kunoichi who is only a member of our Familia temporarily, and here is Haruhime-kun, who is another supporter and our Home's maid." Mikoto and Haruhime quickly did a bow of greeting to the half-elf man who showed no emotion whatsoever. "This is everyone in our Familia."
Zagreus looks at the group in silence for a moment before he closes his eyes.
"I've learned everything that my son had faced and experienced in Orario from the time he first arrived here from my sister; Makaria," Zagreus spoke out while crossing his arms over his chest. "There is nothing else that I need to know and learn from this Familia." He then opens his left eye. "Therefore, I would like to ask everyone besides Bell to leave this room for the two of us. I wish for a private conversation with my son."
"Alright," Hestia replied with a nod, knowing that it might be a family talk that she and the others shouldn't be hearing.
A minute later, Hestia and the others exited the living room and left Zagreus with Bell.
Zagreus sat in silence before he opened his eyes and looked at Bell, who appeared a bit nervous and anxious at the same time. The Kaiser continued to stare at his son before he closed his eyes and got off the couch.
Bell saw his father's action as he observed the Kaiser walking a few steps away and then standing near the window to look outside.
"You must have questions for me, don't you?" Zagreus said as he glanced back at Bell. "I will answer any questions that you have about myself, the Kaisers, and your mother."
Hearing his father's words, Bell couldn't help but look down a bit nervously while clasping his hands and fingers together.
"Well… ever since Aunt Makaria and the others came…," Bell spoke out. "I've been reading stories about the Kaisers. Legends, myths, stories, everything that there is to tell about the Kaiser Familia." The young man then looked down a bit more. "Every single one tells a frightening or a heroic tale of the stories that are written. But not one story tells me about why the Kaiser Familia disappeared or rather left Orario." He then looked at his father. "Why… why did the Kaisers leave Orario?"
Zagreus looked at his son for a moment before he turned and looked outside.
"Do you know the Ancient Monster that destroyed both Zeus and Hera Familia on their last mission?" Zagreus spoke out as Bell looked at his father for a moment before his eyes widened as saucers and his jaw dropped. "I had assumed that either Makaria or Melinoe have told you about it, but I suppose that they wished for me to be the one to tell you."
"The Kaiser Familia… left Orario to fight… the… One Eyed Black Dragon!?" Bell stuttered out with shaking eyes as he let out a big nervous gulp sound.
Zagreus merely nodded in reply as Bell looked shocked to the core to learn that his father, along with his aunts and uncles, had left Orario to fight the one beast that not even the great Zeus or Hera Familia could defeat.
"When Zeus and Hera Familia left Orario to subjugate the Black Dragon and complete the Three Great Quest, they fought and got destroyed at Dragon's Valley; located hundreds of miles southwest of Orario," Zagreus spoke as his eyes hardened. "But when we Kaisers left to avenge their failure, we fought against that beast in the Beoul Mountains. That place is located only a few miles north of Dragon's Valley and a few miles south from Orario itself."
"You mean the Black Dragon... it was heading for..?" Bell spoke out with a baffled face. "It was heading for Orario!?"
"There was no telling if it was heading for Orario or it just took a new nest to stay in after Zeus and Hera Familia fought it at Dragon's Valley," Zagreus replied. "All that we knew was that the monster must be slain, or Orario would one day burn in its flames."
Bell looked in more shock as he could imagine the city of the Dungeon burning in flames by a large dark creature that has a single glowing red reptilian eye.
"The first time we fought that beast, it took everything that we Kaisers had to fight it on equal footing," Zagreus said while reaching his right hand to the scar over his right eye that he gently caresses. "For a single day and a single night, our battle raged on. It was only until the next day it ended with no one being the winner. The Black Dragon disappeared, and we Kaisers tasted defeat for the first time." The Kaiser then lowered his right hand to grab his left hand and takes off the metal gauntlet to reveal a silver prosthetic hand to Bell, who just gasped. "After that battle, I lost my left arm, a few of my internal organs, and obtained burn scars that never healed." He continued while putting the metal gauntlet back on to cover his prosthetic hand. "Melinoe and the others had also lost a few of their own limbs and organs while also obtaining scars alike with the ones I have after fighting that beast." The Kaiser then turned to look at his son who is looking at him wide-eyed. "It took about 6 months for us to recuperate from our injuries. Afterward, we split up to find the Black Dragon to wherever it might have fled."
"You split up to find the Black Dragon?" Bell said in surprise. "But why? You couldn't defeat it, and you lost your arm… and…"
"That beast was a monster," Zagreus spoke out in a soft yet dark voice. "Leaving it alive in this world wouldn't be the correct choice to take." Bell looked at his father in a bit of fear
Meanwhile at the outside and above the dark and cloudy sky. The storm became chaotic at the north west area as flashes of lightning bolts started to focus on one area that had something large descending from the dark clouds.
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
