Lost Light

Chapter 13: Talk with Mother

Sorry for taking long with this chapter. A bunch of things came up, and I had to take care of all that anyway hope you enjoy

Bell returned home to his room at Babel, but before he went to talk with his Mother figure Goddess Freya.

Bell: Goddess, are you awake

Freya: I am Bell come in

Bell: How are you

Freya: Im fine, but more importantly, tell me, how was your first day back

She said as she patted the spot beside her, telling him to sit

Freya: Now, how was it

Bell: It was great. I missed being out since the last month was just Dungeon and training.

This made Freya happy to see him so excited after his hard month of training, but something he said stuck with her.

Freya: But you still went to the Dungeon, didn't you

Bell: . . . . . . Yes

Freya: Even on a day meant for you to take a break, you'll still go, but it did well

Bell: What do you mean?

Freya: I had gotten a visitor today. It was Serket. She wanted to thank you again since all her children made it to the hospital in time and said you had already paid for it.

Bell: . . . . .

With a smile, Freya continued.

Freya: She said she didn't think I had a hero in my familia

Bell: I told her I was not a Hero; I was just at the right place at the right time

Freya: Then what happened at the Orphanage

Bell: You saw?

Freya: I did

Bell: I wanted to give them something after not seeing them for a while. Seeing all the children, Rye, Fina, and Roux, look happy was nice. I wish I could have talked to them.

Freya: And why didn't you

Bell: None of them should be near me. Revis even mocked me by threatening to kill them one of the times we fought.

Freya: I could have some of our members guard the Orphanage

Bell: I would like that, but long as I distance myself and no one sees me, they should be fine

Freya knew Bell took Evilus as a personal responsibility, but at the same time, he was always stubborn about the issue

Freya: Bell, It's ok if you tell some people about who you are

Bell: . . . . No, I don't think I could

Freya: Why not

Bell: I don't want to make them sad once I leave again

Freya: . . . . . Do you want to change your mind about dying after you kill Revis

Bell: No

Freya: Then what about Ryuu

She knew when Ryuu was brought up, he would perk up and be seen with a small smile but saddened at the same time.

Bell: . . . . . . .

Freya: I saw your soul Bell. It lit up when you began to speak with her

Bell: Did you see her soul?

Freya: Yes, it shinned the brightest I have seen since you disappeared
