Fighting for other race

16. Company and challenge

- A creature... -

- Indeed. Do you not remember that you touched a monster when it was just the two of us? -

- Yes. It suffered from the cold before its life ended at our hands -

Then Bell will have to be careful in Filvis' presence mostly because of the curse he suffers from.

- If she tells that to her god, it is possible that I will get into trouble with the Familia -

- Why do you say that, Bell? -

- Sending me to hospitals to supposedly "cure" my curse -

- The only way you can find a way is... -

- I hear you -

- Go to the cold, desolate place that would have been your home if it were not for that dragon and... - Eira's expression changes to a different one - Those... Empire bastards... -

Bell looks at his partner who is currently very angry and frustrated because she also remembers how her companions disappeared before she was sealed.

- Eira... -

Bell approaches her companion to give her a hug to calm her down to which she reciprocates the hug.

- There are two of us actually - explains the Siberian - We both know the situation we were in -

At this, Eira, without realising it as she hugs Bell tighter, a tear comes to her eye.

- We both have to give everything to be able to move forward.

- What about the Loki Familia? -

- We are fortunate to be part of them, but I am talking more in case we have not been or when we might possibly leave the Familia -

- You are right, it is only the two of us if our situation would not be very favourable -

- We still have to follow the path that destiny has chosen -

- So... What will you do tomorrow? -

At Eira's question, they both break away from the embrace so that Bell can answer properly.

- I will go to the dungeon tomorrow, perhaps I would go alone if I did not come with you.

- Do not worry, I will be with you -

- In that case we will go to the dungeon tomorrow to improve my stats according to the paper the goddess Loki gave me -

- I understand... -

- By the way... Any news about Riveria and Ais? -

- None, apparently they have not come out of the dungeon yet -

- I see... I will go and rest -

- Me too -

The following day

Floor 37

Finn's group discusses everything that happened in the trouble caused in the city of Rivira recently.

They all seek to process each other's information while Ais recalls that duel with the red-haired woman.

After that, they had to sleep to regain their energies after the conflict in which they generated chaos.

All of them went to sleep, including Riveria and Ais, and the latter does not seem to be a sweet dream.
