After the meeting with Riser and Issei's father, Rias, Akeno, Issei and Vali arrived back at Issei's home. Walking into the house Issei suggested that the girls go and wash up before dinner while he prepares dinner. As the girls went up stairs Issei wandered into the kitchen and began to prepare dinner. While Issei was preparing dinner Rias and her queen immediately turned to Vali as they walked up stairs.

"Vali, how long have you known Issei for" Rias asked looking towards the silver haired queen with Akeno giving her the same look.

As Vali looked towards Rias she began to smile, " I meet Issei about nine months ago in Norway".

Flashback nine months ago

Slugging through the knee deep snow Issei was struggling to make his way up to the peak of the mountain as part of his training under the Norse god Thor, he had now idea why he was made to do it but there was now was in hell that he was going to disobey Thor someone who was Ranked at Number 9 on the 'strongest being in existence' so he just did it. The snow restrained his movements slowing his usual fast and jumpy pace, the below freezing temperature cause Issei to wear a massive ski jacket as well as the normal skiing equipment. When Issei reached the peak of the mountain that he was climbing he looked over the mountain.

"What a beautiful country this is. It's a pity that Rias can't be here to see it with me" He thought as he continued to watch the sun set with memories of Rias flying through his head.

'BOOM' A massive explosion sounded coming from beneath Issei.

The sound of a sudden explosion quickly averted his eyes from the sun set to about 3 kilometres down the mountain. As Issei quickly grabbed the ski's that Thor had put on his backpack as supplies for his training, quickly beginning to ski to the site of the explosion Issei flue down the mountain at break neck speeds.

When he arrived he noticed about 10 people looking around for something.

"Where's that bitch, Lord Rizevim wants her alive" One of the hunters said as the others just nodded their heads.

"Rizevim, theirs only one person that I know of with that name, this can't be good" Issei thought to himself as he ducked behind some rocks.

As Issei began to follow them he used his draconic senses that he had developed while training with Tannin to track the person that they were looking for. Beginning to run Issei soon caught up with the person.

When Issei slowed down and began to walk over the next ridge he saw the person that these people were hunting. She a young girl probably only Issei age. Her silver hair was slightly burnt at the ends and was in terrible condition, the clothes she was wearing looked like they were once a dress however since then the left arm completely torn off and the right arms was just as bad. The mid section of the dress also had what appeared to be dog scratches running down the left side of her body. She was currently running barefoot and her feet were blistered and bleeding.

While Issei began to move his way towards the girl he noticed that there were some armed guards waiting for the girl just over the next ridge, fearing for the girls life he quickly teleported and grabbed the girl before teleporting back.

As Issei arrived back on the ridge that he only left minutes ago the girl in his arms was kicking and trying to bit him (as she thought he was one of the armed guards) causing him to take his hand off her mouth.

"Let me go you bastard, I'm never going back to that place, you cant make me". She screamed at Issei.

"Shh It's alright, I'm not here to hurt you" he said trying to comfort the girl, "I don't know who you are or what you're being hunted for, but you're safe ".
