In the Labyrinth City of Orario, the two Familias that sat at the top were Zeus and Hera. In those two Familias, all the members were in a state of restlessness. That was for a few reasons. The first: the entire world set quests for their Familia. The Three Great Quests that called for the extermination of three ancient monsters: The Behemoth, The Leviathan and the Black Dragon. Should they complete it, they will be known as the greatest heroes in history. However, that isn't the only thing weighing down on their minds. The other reason has to do with something going on in the room of Hera's favorite child. Meteria was a woman of short white hair and heterochromatic eyes, her left being green and her right being silver.

Baby: Augh... awa! *holding arms out*

Meteria: *Squeal* Ah, you're just so cute!

She was currently playing with a small baby boy laying on the bed next to her. He had the same white hair as Meteria, who was his mother, but with red eyes that came from his father. Silver Cranel, Meteria's husband, stood in front of both of them with a grin as he watched the two play with their son. The man was tall at well over six feet. He had silver hair, which matched his name, and the same red eyes as his son.

Silver: Haha. You like playing with your Mama, Bell?

Bell: Aau!

The baby Bell was 1 and had over half a year before turning 2. In that time, he quickly grew very energetic. While they were a happy family, a break every now and then was like a gift from the gods themselves. Of course, they weren't alone in this endeavor.

*Ka-chink*

The door opened and a woman with silver hair in a black dress entered. Behind her, many men and women were outside the door, asking to help with the baby. The woman quickly shut the door in their faces before smiling at the sight in front of her.

Meteria: Hello, sister. *Smiling*

Silver: You want a turn, Alfia? Sorry, but Daddy has dibs on next turn.

Jupiter: [Get in line, lady.]

Alfia: *Smiling* No, I can wait. I just wanted to get somewhere quiet for a change. Besides, Zald was busy elsewhere, so I decided to come here.

Meteria: Too bad. Well, at least you'll get plenty of time to yourselves after your honeymoon when we get back.

Alfia: Mm. We have our greatest mission yet right in front of us.

Silver: Yeah, but I believe we can handle it.

His confidence wasn't misplaced. In that room were some of the strongest adventurers in history. Both Silver and Alfia clocked in at level 9 midway while Meteria was just a step behind at level 8. Even Zald was also a high level 8. Alfia and Meteria would be greatly handicapped, but Hera was able to find a sage capable of healing the girls. This let them be adventurers without problems.

A bit of a back story: before, the Hera Familia as a whole used to hate the man in that room. If his being in the Zeus Familia was bad enough, he was also trying to woo Meteria. However, he grew on all of them overtime. Now, many of them respect and revere him. Since they also love Meteria greatly, it makes perfect sense that Bell is practically royalty in both Familias. With both patron gods as his grandparents, the boy is spoiled rotten.

Hera: *Muffled from outside* Sweetie please, let me play with my Grandson!

They all laughed while they played with the boy. As time passed, they eventually had to leave for their final meeting before embarking on their trip.

Timeskip several days...

Meteria: *Her face next to Bell*

*muah*
