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

The Beginning after the END

6 days before Aiz woke up in the clinic.

On floor 65 , Loki and freya familia were rushing as fast as they could to catch up to Bell an Aiz .

Bete :" we are getting closer ,the tracks here are new!"

Finally when they started seeing the exit to the 66 floor a giant figure walked from the other side

Ottar was first to stop and grab his weapon, followed by all the other members , anticipating any sudden attack

Allen :" is that a minautor?"

Finn also looked forward , as the minautor got closer he finally was able to see it clearly.

Horrifed by scene and what happened, he jumped instantly with his spear

Finn::" you bastard!"

However before he even arrive the minautor drop slowly to the ground , revealing the heavy wounds on his body , he layed down the injured unconscious Aiz.

*Rumble*

Huge pillar of flames rushed across the the whole 66 floor , cutting it on two side , living only a trail of lava from the molten rocks.

Asterius was covering Aiz body from the shockwave and any debris falling from the ceiling , while Finn and the others were shocked by what was happening in front of them.

Tione:" the minautor , was protecting Aiz ?"

Riveria rushed by her side quickly to check on Aiz condition while Asterius got back on his feet, and slowly started walking passed the adventurers. No one moved to attack him because the minautor is Already dying.

Ottar :" I see"

It took only few more steps and Asterius body become black smoke ,and his crystal fell to ground.

Bete:" whats the meaning of this?"

Ottar walked forward :" follow me "

Then he turned back to Finn:" this is where our deal is over"

Freya familia and loki familia search the whole 66 floor and even went down to the 67th yet the only thing that they found was the broken armor of Welf crozo and the broken uchiwakamaru thrown underneath the giant corpse of a burned monster that didn't turn into Ashes even after dying.

And so they returned empty handed, the news of bells death were confirmed after Hestia was taken to the clinic too from her breakdown. The sky was dark and the weather was gloomy and rain hadn't stopped falling for several days. That was how orario bid farwell to one of the its most loved adventurers. In the funeral , All Orario's gods were present except for ouranus and Freya. Thousands of Adventurers walked to the cemetery , kids who admired bell were spotted crying just like many other adults who tried to hold back their tears .Hermes lost motivation and disappeared from Orario while many other gods chose to drink and share the story of the fallen. The most heartbroken were Hestia familia , and a waitress Elf. No one saw that coming. The greed and jealousy of a goddess , sent a young adventurer back to heaven.

In the Aftermath Freya familia was punished by the guild and most of their assets were confiscated , they can no longer enter the dungeon ,and only work inside or outside orario under the guild supervision. They were banned from all officials festivals and meetings for several years , while freya can no longer join the gods meetings.But with Ottar breaking to the level 8 , everyone knew that it was a matter of time before they come back to the top

It was still raining that morning , however the weather didn't stop two people from walking to a certain place in orario.

Aiz with an unreadable expressions pushed herself to walk despite her injuries , some of them started to bleed again from under the bandages .her only thoughts were on the boy, she didn't believe what anyone said. The memories of their journey , ( I want to walk by your side, fulfil your dreams) their fighting side by side , and their first kiss and then ( I love you ,Aiz) and the darkness that took him away.

Aiz:" no , it's a lie!"

Behind her walked lefiya with a worried face. She have never seen her friend like this before.

Aiz kept trying to convince herself that they were lying , yet as she entered the cemetery , she found some people still roaming around , probably mourning the deaths on floor 24. She walked passed everyone and some of them felt sorry for seeing her in that state , All Orario knows by now about their journey. Soon she reached a memorial newly built as she looked at the letters written on it all the strength left her ,and she fell to her knees, Bell's broken Armor and dagger were there.

Aiz:" why ?"

Lefiya:" Aiz"

Aiz:" why you left too, you promised !" and she could no longer hold  her tears back .

For the first time in lefiya's live she saw the strong prideful sword princess crying on the ground. She  approached her and held her from the back while  tears filled  her eyes too. While Aiz tears kept falling with the rain. only the sound of her crying and rain could be heard in the cemetery.
