Monsterphilia, Will of the Hearth PT1

Bell had woken up, still trying to figure out if he did ever gain the skill his Aunt had. Copying, a skill she once had, and took many forms of experience and styles she had looked at. It did raise a few questions in his mind, as to why his Aunt never even seen him once before she fell into death's embrace.

He shook his head before preparing for the day.

...

"What do ya mean I haf'ta go with dat Freya? I had planned my whole day out with me Aizu!" Loki could be seen slamming her hands on a table, around her was Riveria, Finn, and Gareth.

"You know this is important, Loki. We really can't deny her request. Abide it this once." Finn showed his calm deamnor, thinking logical than illogical. "We don't need any troubles and surprises anymore. We had delayed the initial expedition because of our resident blue haired friend and familia member. Not to mention, we still need a little more time."

"I get ya, I get ya. I'll meet up with Freya. I'm still taking Aizu." She stuck out her tongue playfully... "Oh, this is also a good opportunity to show off Yuki Makoto to Goddess Freya. Why not take him with you?" ...she retracted her tongue before going deep into her thoughts...

'Hehe...my cutie Aizu and my handsome Blue-kun...Shishishi.'

She made up her mind. "That's fine with me. Have fun you three."

It took Loki a while to get both of her escorts (slaves for the day), to stop training. Makoto relented, Aiz did the same not to soon after.

"Loki? What type of festival is this?" Her Blue-kun asked seeing all the decoration and food stalls sprawled up and down the streets.

"Ah...that's right. Well, we call this festival, Monsterphilia. An event that the people of Orario enjoy. The colosseum over there," She pointed towards the oval like structure, "The Ganesha familia also brings monsters from the dungeon to tame them. Albeit, only a few people can tame them. Ah, here we are."

They walked into a Café and immediately he felt a faint power of charm, almost similar to Marin Karin. He casted a Makarakarn on himself and on Aiz for protection. They same cannot be said to the customers and staff their, as they had been tranced by the woman at the back of the Café with an escort of her own. A tall boar of a man, stood outside the door with a face of neutrality.

The boar opened the door for them to go in, and so they did. He thanked him only earning a grunt in response.

"Freya, so what did you call me for?" Loki took the only seat available as he and Aiz peered over the balcony.

"Is it wrong for me to call upon a dear friend of mine, Loki?" Her smile never dropped. "And these two are...?"

She completely dodged the question. That he could tell. "This is my Aizu and my newest addition to my familia, Yuki Makoto."

"The Sword Princess and Yuki Makoto, ne Loki? Have you given him an alias yet?" Loki sheepishly said no. He didn't need an alias either way. He didn't care about it.

"How about I give him one? Right here and now? Great...his alias can be 'Thousand Souls'." How...?

"I already have a Thousand Elf, don't need another Thousand more dodgy questions coming from you." Loki put her arms in a fold. "Now tell me, what was the real reason you called me here?"

Freya didn't answer. "A boy then." "Try again, Loki."

..."Two boys?"

"Yes."

"So what two familias are going to lose a member now?" She slouched in her chair, Freya sipped her tea.

"...Come on Freya, you don't want any problems between us don't ya?"

Freya had relented, seeing how she drooped a little. It was the littlest things he picked up on.

"The first one, he is wild, a freelancer that can't be tied to...anything. His soul aches for the people he yearns for. A bright, yet dark soul." For a split second her eyes wandered towards him. "The second one, however is my favorite. He isn't strong by any means, he cries if he gets hurt by the slightest things. Oh! And his soul...his soul. So bright and so pure! He is my Od-" She stopped midway as she saw a speck of white hair, he darted his eyes and found her target.

It was Bell Cranel...

"Forgive me, Loki, but something has came up. Goodbye." Freya had pushed the doors wide open and she was gone.

"Loki...Aiz..." He needed to tell them. "Freya...she's after Bell Cranel of the Hestia familia and I."
Loki scowled, she didn't liked that Freya had her eyes on her Blue-kun and she was more ticked off as Itty Bitty's only familia member had been in sight of Freya.

"Looks like War is going to be inevitable now."

...

"Hestia, I need a sample of your blood." Hestia was with Hephaestus, forging a weapon for Bell. "Anything for Bell-kun!" She pricked her finger as the blade shown with blue light. "Going so far to give a weapon for your child, why Hestia?"

"...I feel useless Hephaestus. I don't want to feel that way. If going into debt just to keep my Bell-kun safe, I'll do it. No matter how many days, weeks, months, years or centuries. That's why..."

Hestia's Arcanum had lit a fire in the small Goddess, Hephaestus was shocked. "Bell-kun is my first child. He means the world to me."

Hephaestus, in all her years of being annoyed by Hestia simply smiled. "Then you better work hard here then. Off you go, Hestia."

"Thank you, Hephaestus!" Hestia's Arcanum had wore off.

...

"White hair nya!" Bell stopped his pace and looked around. "Right here, nya." Oh! This was Anya Fromel. She had cat ears and wore the typical uniform of the Hostess of Fertility. "White hair, nya. Can nyou give nyis tyo Syr, nya?" In her hand was a small wallet. "Umm..."

"Anya? Are you bothering Mr.Cranel here?" Ryuu was seen carrying a bag of goods. "Ryuu nya, Syr forgot her wallet nya, so nyim asking white hair nya to deliver it to her nya."

"It seems as Syr forgot her wallet, Mr.Cranel, can you help us give this to her?" He understood this time.

"Sure, see ya Ryuu-san and Anya-san!"

And done.
