Third Person POV
Somewhere outside Orario.

...

...

Lucius leaves Ouranos' presence, following Fels outside. As soon as they return to the surface of Orario, Fels hands over an official letter about the mission. Lucius gives Fels a suspicious look. "Did you do this while we were walking here? Could you teach me that trick..."

"..."

"You're as humorless as ever..." Lucius muttered while holding the official paper.

"Good luck, Lucius. Please eliminate this threat before it devours a deity," Fels said, and Lucius nodded before starting to fly in the air of Orario and heading back to the Twilight Mansion.

Upon arrival, he noticed that Riveria was waiting for him with Finn at her side. "Hello," Lucius greeted them. Riveria smiled, and Finn nodded calmly.

"Riveria told us you were going to open a mission and she would participate," Finn said calmly.

"Yes, here's the guild paper," Lucius handed over the mission paper.

"Stamped by Ouranos himself?" He was a bit surprised by this, since not even he could have access to Orario's patron deity.

"It's something important, as you can see," Lucius said calmly.

"I see, a sealed monster of level 5 to 7. Do you think you can handle it?" He asked more to Riveria than to Lucius.

"Yes, I believe we can handle it," she said in a calm voice, not as expressionless as she used to be, and Finn sighed. Clearly, Riveria didn't seem the same anymore, she was a young woman in love, he just hoped it wouldn't affect her judgments.

"Shall we go then?" Lucius asked Riveria, and she nodded.

"Of course, it seems you got the authorization as you said you would," she commented.

"Yes, we have permission to leave Orario," he referred to the document in Finn's hands, he would use that to leave through the gate, but for him, it wasn't necessary. "Our destination is dangerous, but necessary. Artemis is at risk, and we have to intervene before it's too late."

"WAIT!!!!" A voice echoed through the area, and Loki appeared in the garden behind the mansion gate, she didn't look like the same Loki Lucius knew. She was like a furious figure with a look of hatred directed at Lucius.

"I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU TAKE MOM! NOT AFTER WHAT YOU CORRUPTED HER, IT SHOULD BE ME!" She shouted, and Lucius was stunned but saw that he had to get out of there.

Lucius grabs Riveria and flies with her into the sky under the gaze of Finn, the gate guards, Loki, and some members who came to see what the commotion was.

Loki, clearly outraged, shouted from the ground. "Lucius Drakenar! What do you think you're doing with mom?!"

"Let's just go away..." Lucius commented and Riveria nodded.

With a quick and fluid motion, Lucius activates his teleportation, taking himself and Riveria away from the mansion while flying. "Lucius! Riveria! Come back here immediately!" Loki yells from a distance and they continue to move away. As Lucius and Riveria float above, the duo disappears from the sky of Orario, heading towards the unknown.

Lucius and Riveria, after a long journey of teleports, finally arrive at a quiet and distant city from Orario in the region where Lucius and Riveria met Artemis and her family. The city was small, they landed and went to an inn, as by that time the day was already ending.
