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

Epilogue

Two years have passed since that incident in the dungeon. Time was enough to heal most of the wounded. Yet some chose to not forget in order to keep walking forward. Seasons passed ,trees changed their covers many times and new blood flooded into orario. Young adventurers who dreamed to gain fame or strength or just make money.

During the last 2 years, not much changes occurred in the adventurers city. But the same is not for some adventurers , motivated by the past while their eyes was set on a future yet to come. Many adventurers broke through their limits and leveled up.

Such was the case for Loki familia members, Hestia familia , Miach and many others.

Yet today two young amazons were depressed ,the reason was simple , they are still far away from leveling up. They were left behind while Finn, Riveria ,and Gareth broke to level 7. It was a necessary  level up for Orario to keep a certain familia In check.

The twin sisters were in their usual uniforms. Nothing much to cover their bodies.

Tioné:" remind me again sister , why you brought me here with you ?"

Tiona:"I couldn't handle that stupid dog , ever since loki told him that he will soon break through to level 7 and the familia mansion became hard to stay in"

Tioné :" oh yeah right , that's true , I kind of feel bad , we are the only ones who still behind , even Aiz almost catch up to us , sigh"

Tiona:" well , we cant blame her " the two stoped for while in reminiscence of old memories of how the sword princess changed in the last two years. She returned back to the way she used to be years ago. A training maniac , and dungeon exploration. She never talked much with anyone in the familia except for Reviria or Lefiya , even during expeditions.She obeyed Finns ordered perfectly , yet she always seemed detached from the party.

The water castle floor , a breathtaking scenery with waterfalls in every corner of the floor, rivers and lakes with clear crystal water. Yet under the surface of these waters , many monsters hide waiting for their prey.

Tioné :"oh , I remembered something ! follow me!"

Tioné started running next to river , and soon more rivers started converging on the same direction they were taking

Tiona:" where are you draggin me to sister?"

Tioné :" I remembered someone mentioned that there was hot springs , just where the rivers converge"

Tiona:" how confident are you in this information? "

Tioné ignored her sister and looked around , finally she spotted the point where the rivers converged

Tioné:" found it !lets go!"

Tiona screamed:" wait , kyaaaaa!"

They both jumped down the waterfall

*splash*

Somewhere in a certain cave

" lala ,lala la laaaaa , lala ,.....lala , lala , la laaaaaaa. lala "

A certain mermaid was singing in the hot waters , beside her was another person wearing nothing but a black leather trouser, his eyes were blindfolded by a black leather band that covered most of his upper face until his nose , he was a grown up teenage , well built muscles and deep scares traced his body a proof of long battles in this dungeon without propre healing. His hair was a long silver white reaching just under his shoulders. His back was traced by a large runes like a blessing of a god , yet at the same time different , the drawing were took a crimson red color glowed in orange from time to time like a fire was burning inside it.

" Your voice is really nice marie" the adventurer spoke with a mature voice , not that of an adult yet also  sounded older than a teen

Marie :" ehehe thank you , I am always happy to sing for you"

" the hot springs here are not as hot as i remember  , I had to increase the temperature so I can relax"

Marie pouted :" you almost made me a boiled fish , meanie!"

"kyaaaaaaaaaa"

Marie :" hmmm, did you hear that ?"

" I don't know , maybe some monsters fell from the waterfall , well I doubt they will survive anyway"

( of course he noticed , He already sensed them when they jumped from the waterfall , yet he chose to wait and see what will they do)

Tiona:" why did you do that tioné! "

Tioné:" just admit. it was fun, now look over there , hot springs!"

After they  walked pass the large dark underground lake , the hot springs area started showing, yet they stopped before they reach it.

They saw a certain couple , weird couple they thought.

Tioné:" a mermaid! We got a jackpot!"

Tiona:" and who is that with her? Is that an adventurer?"

Tioné:" doesn't matter lets go catch it, I m sure that guy is under her spell and he will thank us for saving him "

Tiona:" wait tioné ! there is something wrong with is"

Tioné rushed forward with her weapon in hand , she saw that the mermaid was bothered by her approach and she was using her hands to trace the adventurer body , tioné thought she was preparing to eat him. Yet when she reached a certain distance. A heavy pressure filled with killing intent fell upon her , her legs freeze as she looked at this guy , no more of a monster. Despite him turning his back to her , she felt like she was now under his mercy and he spoke

" you two are quite rude,peeking on others in hot spring ,are all amazons have to be wierdos ?" now that he stood up she could see more his body , the red glowing blessing that she never saw before. His well built muscles, he was taller than her as he walked out of the hot spring to a certain area , she saw that he was blindfolded , (how did he know they were two amazons)

That was what tiona thought as she rushed to move drag her sister away.

Gulp ( this is bad)

The guy reached to his armor, a black jacket with black scales tracing every part of it. She didnt even recognize what material was used to make such armor , he continue putting on his boots , leg protectors , and again she didn't recognize them , they were top tier equipment's and enchanted on top of that. He only turned to face them when he finished putting his gauntlets who had claws like fingers and grabbed a black sword.

"So, do you happen to have jagamru-kuns snacks ?"

Tioné and tiona:" eh?"
