ARGONAUT 2

Back To Home

  The next morning Freya came to see Bell. She asked for his choice. Bell remained silent for some time. He refused to join her Familia. Freya was very angry. She left him without saying anything. The Gilliver Brothers beat Bell all day. One critical hit on the head made him unconscious. In the evening Freya Familia moves out to burn down Hestia Familia. They attacked Hestia Familia. Freya was standing in front of Hestia Familia beside Ottar. Hogni fought Hedin. Allen fought Ryu. Gulliver Brother took Aisha, Welf, Lefiya, and Filvis. Ottar stood beside Freya. She even charmed some of the lower members of the Hestia Familia to kill themselves. She asked her children not to spare anyone but Hedin and Ryu.

Bell woke up from unconsciousness and found Horn by his side. She showed him sympathy and freed him from his chains. Bell was confused and asked why she had done it, to which Horn replied that she loved him too and begged him to help save them. She returned his black sword and jacket armor and guided him towards the exit. Bell transformed into his bat form and flew towards the Health Mansion. He could see his Familia members fighting back, so he headed straight for Hestia by tracking her Falna. When he arrived, Bell saw Freya about to strike Hestia who was lying on the ground. Acting quickly, Bell transformed back into a human and successfully placed himself between Hestia and the sword. Thanks to his sword and sheath attached to his back that slash didn't hurt him. Bell saved Hestia.

Surprised Hestia " Who are you?"

Bell with a smile " I am your hero."

Freya " What the... when did you?"

Bell without saying anything shoots Firebolt at Freya. Ottar who was standing behind her covered her.

In the gap, Bell grabbed Hestia and leaped out of the window, running as fast as he could. Some members of the Freya Familia noticed them and attempted to block their path. Bell ran even faster and jumped high, hoping to activate his Float ability. This time, luck was on his side and he successfully activated it, causing him to fly away with Hestia. They were trying to escape from Orario when suddenly Allen appeared and threw his spear at them. Bell sensed the danger and managed to dodge the spear, which missed Hestia's head by just an inch. Unfortunately, Bell lost control and they fell onto a nearby building. However, Bell was able to act as a cushion for Hestia and they collided into the building without getting seriously hurt. When Allen and others reached the spot, they discovered that they had fled. Aleera had appeared before them and took both of them along with her.

Freya with an angry torn " That's enough killing my children, take the rest as hostages."

Only the high-level members and Jupiter survived others were killed ruthlessly. They were taken as hostages. They all were severely injured. They were all chained. After some time they all regained consciousness and were out of the charm to remember Bell. Waking out of reality, they protested against them to release Bell, until Hedin told them to calm done.

Hedin with a serious tone " My comrades, listen to me. Endure and hold still. This suffering won't take long. The light shall return and it will."

.........

Aleera took them to the kingdom of Artemis. They are in the middle of the town now. They stood up and looked around. Aleera revealed the location. She couldn't bring a God to the Demon Land, so she brought them there. Hestia meets Bell's mother for the first time. Hestia is still in the charm.

Hestia " Thanks for saving my butt, but do I know you two?"

Bell " I see, you are still in that charm, huh"

Hestia " What charm?"

Bell " Never mind, let me ask you this, why did the Freya Familia attack you?"

Freya " I am still trying to figure it out, she and her children just busted in and started massacring us. She is a total freak."

Aleera " I see, why don't you ask your friend, Artemis, maybe she might know something."

Hestia" You are right, maybe she can help me. By the way, you two didn't tell me your name."

Bell " Oo Sorry, I am Bell Cranel, and this is my mother, Aleera."

Aleera " It's nice to meet you, Goddess Hestia. "

Hestia " Bell Cranel...., I heard that name a lot of times before, but can't remember, now. "

Bell with a proud chin up face " Ho ho, what did I tell you, mother, I am quite famous with girls, now you better know it."

Aleera "Hi hi, I can see it very clearly. That's why that crazy woman is after you."

Bell had a stupid smile on his face.

Hestia " Let's hurry, I am quite worried about my children too, you know."

Aleera " Yeah, sure."

The three of them went to the castle. The guards recognized Hestia and Bell. They said that they had an important matter to speak with Artemis. They allowed them to get inside. They showed them the meeting room. The Guards informed Artemis. She came to see them. She invited them. Since Aleera was new she introduced herself to Artemis. Both of them knew that they were demons but they trusted Aleera only because she was Bell's mother. Hestia told her about her situation. Artemis was in shock. She didn't think twice, she agreed to help her. Artemis noticed a strange glow in Hestia's eyes. She didn't ask her. Then Bell told Artemis that he wanted to talk to her personally. She agreed.

Hestia and Aleera were shown a room by Bell. He gave them all the details about what had happened. Artemis confirmed that he was telling the truth. Now Artemis had an idea of why Freya attacked Hestia Familia. She promised to help. Then she asked Bell about her weapon. He replied that it was caught in the chaos. Artemis let out a sigh and walked over to the window. She raised her hand and called her spear. The spear lifted on its own from Hestia Familia's home and flew a long way to her hands.

A surprised Bell " Wait what, you can get your spear like like that. That ownsome. "

Artemis had a proud smile on her face.

Bell " Can I do that too?"

Artemis" Why not? Haven't you tried that yet?"

Bell " No, not really."

Artemis" Then come here, let me teach you"

Bell came near her. She asked him to grab the spear. He grabbed it. Artemis touched both his hands.

Artemis " Now, Bell, Do you feel any connection between you and Weapon."

Bell " No.."

Artemis " Just close your eyes, and focus." Bell followed her words. When he was focusing, she was enjoying herself watching her beautiful hero. Her face turned red and her heartbeat was rising. She feels very much attracted to a man for the second time. He remains of her Orion. She saw her Orion standing in front of her. She fell connected to him. She was unknowingly closing the distance between them. She was very close to kissing him.

Bell with closed eyes " I can feel it."

She suddenly pulled back and regained her composure. She then asked him to throw that spear at the night sky. Bell threw it. She asked him to focus on that connection between them. He focused his attention and the spear returned to him. He was amazed by that development. He thanked Artemis. She told him that it was nothing and led him to his room. Then after Bell entered his room, her children started teasing their Goddess. They already knew that she had a crush on him.
