Benares also known as Bella was about to drown herself at the frozen lake as she is about die from battling Shub-Niggurath, a mysterious girl saved her life, which also causes her and the True Bella's soul to become one to heal her injuries
As she...
After walking with the giants for some time they managed to reach the town gates with the other side showing what the town looked like, where the giants have been living for a very, very long time according to the giant old man, with Bella and Nikolai amazed at how it was built

And as they draw near the Town Gates, Some Giants coming out from built igloos to treat there injured kin with some some greeting the old man, Bella and Nikolai and apologized for attacking them, to which Bella doesn't mind with Nikolai not speaking and let her mother do the talking as it seems his mother can understand then, with Bella proud as his observing skills started to improve
Within 5 mins. they entered the town with the old man explaining that he is currently the one leading the giants as they are only waiting for the Silversmith descendants to open the The Great Temple of Silversmiths to help them craft the destined weapon to help the Silversmith family to combat the 'Deliverance', a person who'll harm the world in the near future to destroy the honkai by doing something, with the cost of all of humanity dying as a result
Then they reached a house close to the temple which was were the old man lived and let Bella and Nikolai enter his humble home and gives Bella some things that she can use to treat her son's wounds with Nikolai passing out due to exhaustion
When Bella finished treating his sons wounds she headed to the old man and talked to him privately about some 'concerning matters' regarding the status of the Silversmith Family, which shocked the old man but swore to keep it a secret until the time is right to announce it, with Bella thanking him and asked him about how to make someone out of the family a Silversmith
According to Diana's family history, Hephaestus never married anyone, but managed to make a bloodline for his will to prevent the end of the current era to come true, but how did he do this?
Well it is written that Hephaestus makes the boy he adopted drink his blood, which made the boy gain a stigmata that can be compared to a True Stigmata for unknown reasons, But nevertheless this tradition was done incase people from the Silversmith Family decided not to marry and only adopt children that needed a second chance to live there life, until the Family's purge due to Otto wanting them dead
But it depends if the person who'll drink the blood of the Silversmith can withstand the pain it'll bring to them cause if they can't they'll die
An unknown amount of time later
We can see Nikolai waking up with cold-sweat on his forehead as he got a nightmare about seeing his sister being taken away and turned into a heartless killer
But then he immediately wipes it away as he can hear footsteps heading to the room with the door opening revealing Bella holding a wooden tray with a wooden cup filled with water and another filled with some medicine for him to drink and a wooden bowl filled with soup
Nikolai: Oh mother it's you
Bella: Are feeling alright now?
Nikolai: Y-Yes, A little
Bella: I see *sits at the bed as she places the tray in the table beside the bed and grabs the cup filled with medicine* here drink this, it might be bitter as Mr. Gammel (Meaning 'Old' and the name of the giant old man as he finally tells his name to her after they talk) informed me, but it'll help you body be fine and adapt the cold here
Nikolai: Yes Mother
and so he drink the medicine, to which true to his mothers warning was bitter with his grabbing the cup of water that Bella is holding after he drank the medicine with him thanking his mother and then he started to eat the soup that Bella prepared thanks to Mr. Gammel's help
While he eats the soup in a normal pace, Bella spoke
Bella: Nikolai
Nikolai: Yes Mother?
Bella: About your axe, it can't be used again due to the damage done by the giants
Nikolai: I see
Bella: Which is why I'm going to propose this to you, but I hoped that you'll decline
Nikolai: Why would I decline your proposal Mother
Bella: Because. . .I don't want you to get involved by the prophecy
Nikolai: What Prophecy?
Bella: According to my friend's ancestry, the Silversmith Family are destined to fight A person named 'Deliverance', but to combat him, a weapon needed to be built from the Core of Ice must happen in The Great Temple of Silversmiths, to open it it needed to be a new member of the Silversmith but, I don't think I deserve to make that weapon
Nikolai: So you want me to be a Silversmith
Bella: Yes but, I don't want to risk your life as making you a Silversmith might make you lose your chance to find your sister-
and then suddenly Nikolai hugged Bella which shocked her
Nikolai: You're worrying again mother, If this will make me strong and help me find my Sister, I'll do anything
Bella: But-
Nikolai: Do not fret mother, I can't die, not yet as long as I have the will to live, you help me mother, this time let me repay it
Bella: . . .Are you sure of this?
Nikolai: I'm certain mother
Bella: Very well, rest for a few minutes and then we can start the ritual
Nikolai: What Ritual?
Bella: To make a person who's not a Silversmith, a Silversmith family member, one must drink the Silversmith's blood, which could also kill you if you can't withstood the pain it'll inflict to you
Nikolai: I see, I'll be ready to face it then
and then she giggled and smile with pride as she saw Nikolai's determination blazing in his eyes to prove something to the world and challenged those who dare to break his will
After that, Bella left the room Nikolai is to prepare the things needed for the ritual to begin with Mr. Gammel helping him since he has the right things needed
