danmachi : the journey of a hero ( volume 17 fancfic )

The beginning after the END (1)

 ******************Author note : i hope you enjoyed the ride , it all came to this " Evil laugh" , ahem anyway enjoy the chapter :3 ********

in Orario , inside the big mansion of Hestia familia , Hestia , Hephaestus ,Miach , were sitting around the table . After loki left , the godes that were trying to cheer Hestia's mood up were more hopeless.

It's been several days since Fells last contact, no more upadtes from her familia or any other guild member.

Miach:" don't worry Hestia , He will be alright"

Hestia looked up to miach who was worried about her :" thank you miach"

Hestia:" I ll make some tea ,since Haruhime isn't here " at least she is trying to cheer up

Takemikazuchi jumped up from his chair :" I ll give you a hand Hestia, I make a very delicious tea"

Hephaestus held him back :" hold up with your flirtings " then she shifted her gaze to Hestia who was already out of the room

Hephaestus :" let her be alone ,for a while"

*Smash*

A breaking sound from the kitchen was heard

Miach:" Hestia ? what happened"

However no one replied

Miach:" Hestia!" and everyone rushed to see what happened

Hestia was on the floor holding her chest with hollow look on her eyes like she was unconscious

Hestia :" no..... no .......Bell"

Her sole hope , her only comfort all this time was that the blessing she gave bell was still there, she can feel the connection between them , and made her mind at ease , because he ll come back to her no matter what. Even if an adventurer changes the god they follow , the first god can always feel the adventurer , when he lvl up or get stronger. However for Hestia who had her familia built not long ago , this was the first time she ever experienced the loss of a child , the bound in her heart with Bell just disappeared , leaving a huge emptiness she never felt before.

Hestia:" Bell....kun...."

Hephaestus fears became reality when she saw the look in hestia's eyes, she also knew the feeling of loosing a child in her familia

Hephaestus :" Hestia..."

Miach:" what happened Hestia! Answer me!"

Hestia with hollow look on her eyes turned to them , the emptiness in her gaze was scary:" that's a lie ?right ? loosing the falna doesn't mean he is gone ?answer me?"

Hephaestus couldn't look back to her friend.

Hephaestus :" I am sorry for your loss Hestia"

Hestia:" no ..... no , bell kun......"

And the gods watch the poor Hestia crying herself until she lost conscience , no one dared to say a word.

Aiz pov

( its dark , where am I ? ) as she looked around her , trying to grasp the situation she was in.

( I cant move, what happened ) everything around her looked unreal , darkness in every corner .as she tried to remember what happened to her and where she has been

( am I dreaming ? but I was in dungeon) then a stream of memories stroke her back

(she watched helplessly the fight that occurred between them and the boss , how she attacked the boss crystal to finish it , yet at the last moment the shout of someone getting closer to her , the monster crystal was a trap , it was not his weak point , the monster was using charging that crystal the whole time to attack them , she watched in slow motion as the figure of bell jumped while he was casting his barrier to protect her from the trap , however the attack knocked them both away , she watched herself struggling to get up)

Aiz:" no.... get up ...he is in danger! Move!"

( yet she couldn't , her body was so injured , her legs were broken ,and many other internal injuries , and bell wasn't better , and then she heard it again , "firebolt! Firebolt!" , he was in a miserable state , yet he kept casting his magic , his body was glowing again )

Aiz:" no , don't ... you only hurt yourself more , bell!"

(one of bells attack was aimed at the entrance they came from ," Asterius ! take her and go" ,)

Aiz :" no"

( she watched as the injured minautor , picked her body and started running away , and the boys face was fading from her view , she could just watch his smile as he muttered those last words while his body was glowing " I love you , Aiz")

Darkness

Aiz screamed :" Bell , NOOOO"

She opened her eyes in Dian Cecht Familia clinic , Lefiya was next to her with worried face while tione rushed out for a doctor to check on Aiz condition.

Lefiya :" Aiz ! you are finally awake , thank goodness "

Aiz finally realizing her state and where she was , turned to Lefiya :" Le...fiya,? What happened?"

She tried to look around her room , searching for someone that she hoped he might be there. She was hoping this was all a nightmare. However

Lefiya:" we are in Dian cecht clinic Aiz, Finn and the others found you badly injured in the dungeon ,and they brought you back immediately "

Aiz :" what about.....Bell?"

Lefiya shifted her eyes away , hesitating . And just then , tione came back dragging a nurse and a doctor in the room to check on Aiz , while Loki came after them.

Loki :" you had it rough Aiz chan, how are you doing ?"

The doctor and nurse started checking on Aiz condition and after a while they left

Doctor :" her injuries started to heal , just let her rest for a while , however its better she doesn't move for a week "

Loki :" hai hai , doctor , now get out and thank you for your work"

As she closed the door behind them , loki face become more serious and she looked down on Aiz

Loki:" you were really reckless down there Aiz, what was the point of All of that? Getting yourself killed?"

Aiz:" where is Bell?"

Loki:" tsk ! "

Aiz :" what happened ?"

Loki turned around and both Lefiya and tione turned there face to the sides not wanting to look to her

Loki :" Sigh, Bell Cranel confirmed dead on the 66 floor "
