Bell was in the basement where all the artifacts that Zeus had collected, he was currently scrolling through every book he could find that had any information on both the Kraken and the Leviathan.

Shaking his head, he sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose in exhaustion, he's been reading these books for almost two days now and hasn't stopped till now.

After the reveal that both of those monsters were running free in the world, panic filled Orario given no one was sure if the Freya or Loki Familia could handle those monsters.

It took both the Zeus and Hera familias to defeat it and the Behemoth and even then they struggled and almost lost some members in the battle.

But now, all they had was Ottar the only level 8 in the world and Gareth the only level 7 in the city that could stand a chance against the monster.

"But how could the seal break.." he muttered to himself in both confusion and exhaustion before he decided to call it quits for now and not worry his wives and Familia more.

Standing up, he closed the book and headed upstairs and once he opened the door, he saw that the mansion was dark, showing that it was night time, meaning that Bell has now been down here for three days actually.

"Rose, Zidril, Fenrys and Riveria are gonna be angry" he half joked as he started to walk towards his room

Once he did arrive at his room and opened the door, he did see three out of the four of them since now Riveria was going to be twice as busy now since Finn wants to lead his Familia to kill the Kraken and Leviathan.

Moving quietly enough that none of them heard him, not even Zidril, he pulled some clothes out of his dresser before quietly leaving and taking a very quick bath. He then returned and the second he got in bed, all three of them immediately latched onto him on instinct.

Smiling lightly, he hugged them back and closed his eyes to get some much needed sleep.

"Finn, we are not strong enough for that monster, it took both Zeus and Heras familias to kill the monster, with that only happening thanks to Alfia using her strongest spells" said Riveria.

"I have to agree with the elf, I may be a level 7, but compared to a monster like Alfia or Zard, I might as well be a level 4 in strength or power" said Gareth looking at his captain, while feeling a glare from Riveria given the monster comment towards Bells mom.

"This is our duty and the beast is most likely very weak as of right now, so we should be able to deal with this" said Finn.

"We still need to do our expedition to the dungeon and rescue Filvis, not going on some wild goose chase for a monster that lives in the ocean that covers most of our world, according to the maps and gods" said Riveria.

"We still have to do this, Melen was attacked and now we have to repair the port town so we can still get trade and fish" said Finn. "That's a higher priority as of right now, we must protect Orario".

"That's true, but this is the Leviathan" said Gareth "one of the three strongest monsters to ever grace Genkai, we aren't strong enough. If we fight it, we will loose many members of our Familia if not everyone" said Gareth.

"We will win, we'll develop a strategy and kill it, along with the Kraken, then we'll investigate and learn how it escaped" said Finn. "The seal and it dying would've weakened it severely, so if we attack it soon then we can kill it before it becomes to powerful".

"Then you should at the very least bring Ottar, he's the strongest adventurer alive right now" said Loki with a grumble, she hated the idea of asking Freya for help.

"Before we do that, I'd say we should wait till I reach level 7 as well, from what the guild told us, Udaeus will be spawning soon and if i were to kill it by myself like both Gareth and Ais did then I should be able to level up" said Riveria.

Said blonde remembered her fight with him and how it helped her become a level 6.

Finn couldn't argue with that, if Riveria was able to level up then they'd be even stronger and one step closer to becoming the strongest familia in the world, if he could level up soon as well, letting them have three level 7s. Then they could possibly take Freyas spot even with Ottar being a level 8.

"If that's all, I'd very much like to sleep, I'm tired and we've barely gotten any sleep since the announcement" said Riveria standing up.

"No one more thing, then you can leave" said Finn stopping her "... I have more troubling news".

Once he felt all eyes on him, he sighed and began the other report he got.

"A member of the Hermes Familia went to some of the nearby towns to see if they were ok and... the neighboring four towns were all massacred by what looked like monsters" said Finn.

"What?" Said Gareth shocked.

"Not only that but... he reported something else... they weren't normal monsters, they were Lycanthropes" said Finn.

Silence was all that was heard in the room, it was so quiet that everyone could hear their own heartbeats.

"No... that's impossible, after the war he died" said Gareth.

"Wasn't it Zeus himself who killed him? How could he survive" said Riveria.

"He must've broken the law and used Arcanum and somehow escaped Zeus... but real question is how, even with his faults, Zeus was no idiot and couldn't be tricked that easily" said Loki.

"Any idea how then exactly?" Said Finn.

"Like I said, my best guess is Arcanum since it's the only thing that could prevent him fro-" Loki stopped as she thought about something.

"Loki?" Said Finn.

"Hes a monstrosity amongst us gods and his birth was wrong itself and shouldn't have even been possible since his father was a god and mother a spirit. He must've done something with either his Arcanum or spirit magic to help him escape or else Zeus would've executed him like Ouranos gave him permission for" said Loki.

"So you think he tricked Zeus?" Said Riveria.

"Its possible, it should be impossible for a god to impregnate a god, yet it happened and created Malar who's most likely planning his revenge on us all" said Loki.

Everyone was silent before realization hit Riveria first.

"Bell.." she thought as a cold fear gripped her body.

He was the grandson of Zeus and Malar hated Zeus more than anything else in the world and he would've done absolutely anything to kill or hurt him.

"Riveria?" Said Loki seeing the look of fear on her face.

"I-I have to go" she said before quickly leaving the room and racing out of the building, once she was outside, she began to race across the rooftops heading to the Hearth Fire Manor.

"Bell.." she thought in fear as she ran faster.

Arriving at the manor, she very quietly opened the cracked window for Bells room and entered it and once she saw Bell sleeping on the bed with his other wives, she couldn't help but smile slightly in relief.

Removing her extra layers of clothing and only being left in a long black shirt and her black pants, she forced her blush down from embarrassment and crawled into the bed to lay with her husband.

She immediately felt some shifting movement and was pulled in a hug, laying next to Rose and Riveria gently leaned her head against Bells head and closed her eyes with a content smile.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"I didn't think Bell was serious when he had to mention you two married" said Husfreya as she was munching on her breakfast and stared at Riveria who's face was red in embarrassment given she got caught.

"I-it was a secret wedding s-since I'm a princess and Bell isn't strong enough for us to be out in the open" said Riveria embarrassed.

"But soon we won't have to hide it and i can show you my love openly" said Bell as he kissed her cheek before walking back to the kitchen to help Haruhime with the rest of breakfast

Riverias face went red and everyone swore they saw steam come off the top of her head, but at the same time, she had a large happy smile on her face.

"Still quite surprised you came here Riveria, I was expecting flatty to nag at you and tell you to stay" said Hestia.

"She's been nicer to me since me and Bells wedding and she thankfully stopped trying to peak on me" said Riveria in relief.

"That... is surprising" said Artemis.

"I'm aware neither of you have had good experiences with my goddess, but she has become better and stopped doing lots of the things she used to thankfully" said Riveria.

"Are you sure the world isn't ending" said Hestia.

"Lady Hestia!" said Mikoto embarrassed by her goddess.

"Sorry, it's just weird to hear all of that given my history with her... but I'll take your word for it" said Hestia.

"Thank you" said Riveria as she nibbled on her breakfast with everyone.

"You can sit down sir Bell, i have it from here" said Haruhime grabbing a large tray with eggs on it.

"Its ok Haruhime, you almost always cook or help cook our meals so let me help you" said Bell.

Haruhime couldn't stop her tail from wagging or how her heart began to beat like a drum.

"Oh Bell.. your far to good for me" she thought to herself.

They both walked back into the dining room where everyone was sitting and eating and they quickly joined them with Bell sitting next to Riveria and Zidril.

Fenrys and Rose were next to them as well but they both decided to let the elves sit near him since they will both most likely have to leave soon.

"So.. any word on the Leviathan?" Said Bell.

"Not since it destroyed a large part of Melen along with almost half of its fishing fleet" said Riveria. "Finn is gonna be getting us all ready to fight and kill the monster".

"Please be careful Riveria" said Bell reaching over and gently holding her hand.

Riverias cheeks went red in embarrassment at Bell so openly showing her his love, but she couldn't stop the big stupid grin on her face either from it.

"I should be telling you that, every time you go to the dungeon, you seem to get hurt" said Riveria.

"I... don't mean to.." said Bell embarrassed.

The looks from his wives and girlfriend said otherwise.

"You jump into danger" said Rose.

"You put others over yourself" said Zidril.

"Your willing to do whatever it takes to protect people" said Fenrys.

"Youd gladly put down your life to protect everyone you love and care for" said Riveria.

Bell shrunk more from the looks around the room.

He hated it when they were this right.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It'd been over two hours since Riveria left plus had a private 'training' session and in that time they continued to discuss about the monsters and Bell wished he was stronger so he could help them.

Riveria had a very obvious limp in her step when she walked away and it didn't help that her hair was still slightly messy and she kept adjusting her skirt.

"Bell i have a letter from the guild" said Lily opening the door and seeing him at his desk.

"Thank you Lily" he said taking the letter and opening it before reading the contents.

Lily watched his face change expression from his look of regret to curiosity "Bell?".

"Ouranos wants us to head to the dungeon and deal with something, apparently a huge horde of fire birds spawned on both the nineteenth floor" said Bell before looking at her. "Could you tell everyone to start getting ready, this is a urgent quest since two familias are deeper down and one of them is reportedly injured bad".

"I'll let them know right away" said Lily as she ran out the room and Artemis walked in.

"Goddess?".

"Orion.. may I speak with you for a moment" she said as In her hands was her arrow.

"Yeah, I'm always free to talk to you goddess Artemis" said Bell.

"Just... Artemis please... Orio- I mean Bell" she said correcting herself and her cheeks just having a tint of red in them.

Bell nodded and gestured for her to speak.

"I... don't truly know how to say this given it's been on my mind for a while now and... this is the best I've come up with so far" said Artemis as she took a deep breath. "A while back.. I called you Orion... my husband".

A bit of red covered Bells cheeks at that.

"Ever since then, you've continued to grow stronger and stronger, plus become a better man... a man described exactly how Orion would be... minus what Zeus taught you".

Bell looked away more embarrassed as he saw a glare on her face.

"I.. am not sure what I should do given what I am the goddess of... yet before my followers all died, my captain told me to find love and be with my Orion" said Artemis. "I... have thought of it for a long time and even now I'm still not completely sure about this but... I'd like to at least try something".

"What would you like to try goddess?" He said but saw a glare and cleared his throat "sorry, Artemis".

"I... would like one date... to see what it is like.. these thoughts have been driving me insane since now... but I'd like to try it.. for my old Familia at least" said Artemis. "During the party i also talked to Astraea and she said this is what I should be doing... so will you?".

Bell looked at her for a long moment before nodding his head while also cursing his grandfather for making him who he is now...... and also wondered if Rose was just a pervert.

His brain stopped for a moment as he thought of Rose for a moment.

Pervert yes, getting her to stop doing what she's been doing... no.

Rose seemed to get a kick out of hooking Bell up with woman that genuinely fell for him. He could still remember the grin on her face when she asked about the kiss on the cheek and the clear love in her eyes as she danced with him.

Bell let out another sigh... he gives up, stopping Rose is impossible at this point.

"Bell?" Said Artemis.

"Oh I'm so sorry" said Bell quickly as he shook his head "I was lost in thought".

Pouting a bit, she relented since he was telling the truth.

"I'd go on with you if that is truly what you want Artemis, but do you really want that?" Said Bell.

She was silent for a moment before nodding her head "yes... I owe it to my Familia to at least try, when they all pushed me to find someone to be with" she said feeling slightly flustered.

"Ok, well after everything is taken care of, we can try that, if that's alright" said Bell.

Artemis nodded her head in agreement, before excusing herself and leaving the room while trying to stay professional, but she could feel heart beating out of her chest at the moment.

Bell ran his fingers through his hair and sighed a little, it wasn't because of what Artemis said, it was simply because of everything going on lately. So much has changed since he arrived here months ago and now the world is facing a horrible threat.

"Plus I still need to remove my curse" he muttered to himself quietly before standing up and heading towards his room to change into her adventurers gear.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"I must say, we are working together much better than I would've expected" said Yukime as she swung her fan and killed a Firebird.

"That's only cause we each have a decent idea of what the other is capable of" said Husfreya as she trusted her spear and killed a Mad Beetle. "Also I believe we are nearing a large nest, the numbers of these guys is growing faster than normal".

"Can't the dungeon give us one normal trip?" Complained Welf as he dodged a slash from the beetle, before he chopped its head off with one large swing "I mean seriously".

"More fighting less talking" said Lily before looking at Mikoto "press your attack on the left, Husfreya move in with her and make sure she can reach her position".

"Consider it done" said Husfreya as she bashed her shield into a Bug Bear, instantly shattering it's face. She then began moving forward to guard Mikoto, so they could finish Lilys plan.

Bell stood next to Haruhime and had a smile on his face seeing how well they were all working together, Lily was becoming a great strategist and if she continued like this, then one day she might surpass Finn.

"Bell now!" Said Lily as they cleared a path through the forest and in the distance could be seen a bunch of fire birds causing havoc through the forest.

"Right!" He shot off with low level 4 speeds and raced past everyone before jumping off the cliff heading towards said monsters.

Some of them noticed him, but it was already to late for them.

"GOSPEL!".

___

She was breathing hard and ragged, her legs, arms and everything else hurt so much, especially on the parts of her where she could see blood running down her body from her injuries.

The sounds of a roar rang in her ears and she tried to run faster, but a branch caught her foot, making her trip and roll down the hill until she smashed into a tree and finally stopped.

Before she could fully gain her footing, the sounds of flapping were heard and a Firebird appeared, with its mouth opening and a ball of fire growing.

Her eyes widened and she felt fear course through her body, until something else moved.

Bell moved as fast as he could as soon as he saw the Firebird try and kill someone, so he moved faster than normal.

Taking out his knife, he jumped over the Firebird while also cutting it in half, instantly killing the monster and only leaving a magic stone.

"Are you ok?" Said Bell as he turned around but froze at what he saw.

Bell looked down at the person he saved and finally noticed it. Amber colored eyes and long silver blue hair with scales in several places on her body. She also has a red stone in the center of her forehead, and her skin was a light blue.

She was a monster.

But before he could move, he saw it in her eyes.

She was scared.. no... terrified.

Bell couldn't move as he looked at her and felt extremely conflicted given she was a monster... but she was so scared.

"THE MONSTER WENT THIS WAY!!" Screamed a voice.

She immediately shrank at hearing that and tried to scoot away to get away from the voice as much as possible.

"Damnit" Bell said under his voice and grabbed his cloak and quickly covered the monster girl with it, not letting any part of her be seen.

"Oi kid have you seen a monster?" Said a gruff voice.

"Be careful Seth... that's The Incarnation Of Talent.." said a female adventurer as sweat ran down her brow. They may outnumber him ten to one and are all level 2s... but they've all seen what Bell can do against even stronger adventurers.

Bell stood up and looked at them and all of them took a small step back in fear... they could still remember the last war game perfectly and what Bell did.. and against Ishtar.

"N-nevermind" Seth said as his hand couldn't stop shaking and he quickly lead his party away and in the last direction they saw the monster.

Bell felt weird by that, he didn't like that people were scared of him. But considering what just happened, he was great full they were scared of him.

"Now... what do I do?" Said Bell as he turned to look at the monster girl unsure if he made the right choice.

____

"Bell, did you kill the Firebirds?" Said Husfreya as she looked at him and the figure behind him, trying to hide.

"Yes, the familias deeper in the dungeon should be able to climb up here now, with no worries" said Bell.

"That's good to hear" said Haruhime relieved, but then her green eyes noticed the small figure behind Bell "forgive me, but who is that?".

Before he could answer that, everyone's eyes went to the girl and given all the stares, she began to feel nervous and stepped backwards, only to trip.

"Ahhh" she let out a startled yell and fell on the ground with her hood falling off, revealing her appearance.

Instantly everything changed and Bells entire party jumped back with weapons drawn at the ready.

"Bell get away from that thing!" Yelled Lily as she held her small crossbow, ready to shoot.

"W-" "get away from that monster Bell!!" Yelled Welf cutting him off.

They continued to yell at him, before something happened that changed everything.

"B-b-bell" said the monster girl as she looked at him with her large amber eyes "B-bell".

"What the fuck.." said Welf as he almost lost the grip on his weapon.

Husfreya lone eye was incredibly wide and for the first time since she could remember, she was at a complete loss on what to do.

"Did... it just talk..." said Yukime equally as shocked.

"B-bell" said the monster girl again staring at Bell.

"How.. is it talking?" Said Yukime looking at it.

"I don't know.. but we need to talk to Hestia and Artemis" said Mikoto.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"What? Of course I've never heard of a talking monster before" said Hestia beyond confused as her eyes went to the new guest they had.

The small monster girl immediately shrank away from Hestia and tried to get closer to Bell, which everyone noticed, especially Rose.

Her eyes were trained on them especially and she could feel her maternal instincts screaming at her, ever since Bell walked in with her and was in a way acting like a dad.

She gently rubbed her growing stomach as her tail wagged in excitement.

"I can't say if anyone has ever heard of a talking monster" said Artemis feeling unsure given how innocent the thing looked.

"I mean... she seems harmless so far.." said Hestia.

"If your planning to have her stay here temporarily, I'd highly recommend either myself, Yukime, Bell or Zidril be in the room with her at all times given we are the strongest, so if something happens we can handle it" said Husfreya.

"I can agree with that" said Welf.

"Are you hungry?" Said Fenrys walking into the room with Haruhime holding trays of snacks and tea for everyone.

The girl looked at her and grabbed Bells arm while moving back a bit more.

Bell awkwardly chuckled and gently patted the girls head to calm her down and she seemingly leaned into it.

Welf instantly felt a shift in the room and he saw almost every woman's eyes were trained on Bell, especially his wives and they all had the same look in their eyes.

We want your babies.

"God's help my little brother" thought Welf hoping his prayer would be answered.

It was promptly ignored by the gods.

"So what's your name?" Said Hestia.

"That's actually a good question, what should we name her?" Said Haruhime.

"Well Bell? what'll you name your daughter?" Teased Naaza.

Bell instantly felt a shiver go down his spine as he felt the stares somehow intensify and from the look in Rose's eyes.... if she wasn't pregnant currently, she'd make Bell, make her pregnant before the sun sets.

Her eyes were burning infernos currently and her tail wouldn't stop wagging.

"Um... what do you want your name to be?" Said Bell looking at the monster girl.

She looked up at him and blinked her eyes before speaking "Bell.. my name Bell".

"I guess she doesn't have one.." said Hestia.

Bell was silent for a moment before looking at her and he began to rack his brain for ideas, until one popped into his head, but decided to shorten it since the original is to long.

"Wiene?" He asked while looking down at her.

Blinking her eyes again, she spoke "Wiene.. name is?" She said with her Koine coming in even more clearly now.

"Yes, your name is now Wiene" he said with a smile.

She didn't truly understand it, but she knew that now she was happy and for some reason, felt like a piece of her was no longer missing. So she followed her instincts again and ended up wrapping her arms around Bells as she hugged him.

"Awww" the girls fell in love more, besides Lily who was still to cautious along with Husfreya who stayed professional, but if looking closely, they could tell she was close to cracking from the cuteness before her.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"What big thing above" said Wiene as she laid on the grass in the yard with Bell, Haruhime, Rose and Fenrys all by.

"We call that the sun, it gives off light and warmth plus helps grow all our food" said Haruhime.

"But it can be annoying when its to hot" said Rose.

"Can't argue with that, it's a nightmare to take care of my hair and tail" said Fenrys.

"I like it, it's really warm... plus everything smell and look good" she said before looking at Rose or more specifically her belly. "Why it big?" She asked as she got slightly closer.

"Me and Bells child is growing in me" said Rose happily as her tail moved and gently touched Bells hand.

Wiene truly didn't understand what that meant but... a part of her deep down knew that what was in her stomach was important and she shouldn't hurt.

"Will I have big one too" said Wiene as she looked at herself in confusion.

"Only if dad let's you get a husband" said Rose with a teasing grin.

Wiene looked at him not really registering it and spoke "can I?".

Bell almost did a spit take and had to force himself to calm down before he spoke "w-when your older.." he said embarrassed "at least not till your twenty... and I'm dead".

Fenrys and Rose along with Haruhime smiled cutely as they saw Bell more or less jump straight into a dad for Wiene.

For Rose... this was one of the best days ever since she gets a free show to see how Bell will raise their own kids soon.

Wiene smiled and looks back up to look at the white things Haruhime called clouds. It didn't matter for her how many times now she's done it today, it's always as beautiful as the first time she saw them.

"Oh Heith, Horn I got to kiss my Odr the other day! Heavens I hope he liked my kiss and dance with him" said Freya as she continued gushing in happiness.

It made her Familia beyond furious.... yet great full given they have never seen Freya this happy before.

And happy she was, she hasn't stopped gushing about it since the party ended and before Bell left, he bowed to her while thanking her for the dance, then he kissed her hand.

"Ooooh Bell~ your to much" said Freya as she swooned again in happiness and let out another care free giggle.

Horn and Heith stood where they were and truly couldn't believe how happy Freya was right now, compared to now, it was as if Freya had never been happy before.

"Oh Bell.. to think you made me fall in love with you so" said Freya happily.

Horn felt the wave of emotions hit her like a tsunami and she had to fight her hardest to ignore those feelings... and his handsome face.. and how good it felt to da-.

As Horn was dealing with her problem and Freyas emotions, Heith was fairing slightly better. Though it didn't help that she actually did dance with Bell and he made her feel weird.

When both woman asked Freya... her eyes only glowed purple before she let out a smile giggle and all but skipped to her room with a smile on her face for dancing with and kissing Bell.

"Do you think it's safer for her to meet Bell again or keep him away from her?" Asked Heith feeling unsure what might happen.

"I..... actually don't know.." said Horn given she wasn't sure how to feel currently, especially given how happy Freya Is and how in love she currently is. It hits Horn like a punch from Ottar and much to her annoyance she's even begun to see Bell the same way her goddess sees him.

"Baby" said Freya suddenly.

Both Horn and Heiths eyes went to Freya who was staring at the Hearthfire manor and she could see Bell holding some small girl in her lap while Rose and Fenrys were leaning against him happily.

Freyas eyes started to glow and her cheeks turned red before she turned around "I'm gonna go get me a baby from him" she said with a look in her eyes that Horn recognized immediately. Plus they both swore Freyas eyes had hearts in them currently.

"CODE BLACK I REPEAT CODE BLACK!!!!" Screamed Horn down the hall of the tower.

Instantly Ottar and Allen began running as fast as they could, they now had a new mission.

Keep Freya away from Bell until she calms down... or else she might ruin her chances getting with him if she acts to drastic.

____

"What's this?" Said Wiene getting off Bells lap to look at the small basket of food Haruhime brought.

"These are apples and we have some rice balls made by lady Mikoto" said Haruhime with a smile.

"Go ahead and try one, they are really good" said Bell as he was currently being held by his wife and girlfriend and completely unaware of the war currently going on at Babel with the Freya Familia trying to stop Freya.

Wiene looked at the food with a look of confusion and concentration, before she slowly reached down and grabbed a rice ball. She sniffed it a couple times before taking a bite and chewing the food.

Her eyes snapped wide in surprise at how good it was, compared to everything she can remember, she's never had anything this good before.

"Its tasty isn't it?" Said Bell with a smile.

"Tas..ty" she said slowly.

"If you thought that was good, try the apples" said Rose.

"Or orange, we got lots of fruits for the week" said Fenrys.

Haruhime smiled and pushed the basket closer to Wiene to show her everything in it.

Reaching down, she grabbed a apple and took a bite out of it and her eyes went even wider than before, compared the to rice ball, this was beyond tasty.

Haruhime smiled happily at seeing that, before she gently raised her hand to pat Wiene on the head, but before she could, said girl scooted away and sat in Bells lap again and continued to eat with a large smile.

___

"Bell.. food was tasty and everything big and bright here" said Wiene as she laid on the ground infront of all of them and had a smile on her face.

But then her eyes caught onto something moving and she saw a yellow tail with a tuft of white at the end of it, her eyes continued to follow it for a little bit before she tried to grab it. But before her fingers could reach the tail, it was quickly tugged away by Haruhime who had a playful smile on her face.

"You almost caught it" said Rose with a smile.

Wiene smiled and moved over and hugged Bells arm while smiling more.

"Hehehe Bell, Bell, Bell" said Wiene having fun saying his name while giggling. But as she was doing this, her hands moved and dragged her claws across Bells arm and left a bunch of deep cuts.

"AGH!" Bell immediately recoiled in pain and held onto his bleeding arm.

"Bell!" Said Rose in a panic as she quickly caught and held him with a look of fear in her eyes.

"Master Bell, I'll be right back with the first aid kit" said Haruhime before she ran as fast as she could.

Fenrys froze for a moment, before without thinking she ripped a large piece off her dress and quickly tried to wrap it around Bells bleeding arm.

"B-bell... in pain" said Wiene in shock and horror as she looked at the blood coming from his arm and the four large cuts on his arm that were quickly getting covered by some cloth"p-please no... I... I'm sorry Bell".

She then saw her nail like claws that were coated in his blood and she began to back away more while holding a hand over her mouth in horror that she hurt Bell badly.

But then a hand reached out and gently held her and once she realized it was Bells hand, she grabbed it and tried to pry it away so she wouldn't hurt him again, but it still left small cuts.

"Its ok Wiene" said Bell calmly "I'll be fine and it was a accident" he finished with a warm smile on his face.

Tears kept running down Wienes face before she lunged herself forward and hugged Bell hard while laughing and smiling in relief.

Rose and Fenrys smiled at seeing this and how Bell held her while smiling comfortingly, but both woman were feeling large waves of maternal instinct hit them like a punch from a pissed off Ottar.

"I want your babies" they both thought while staring at Bell.

In the distance was Haruhime who arrived and saw the situation had calmed down greatly and couldn't help but smile in relief.

For Bell he gently rubbed Wienes back as she continued to hug him, but his eyes then spotted something.

It was a white owl with two different colored eyes staring at him, along with a lone raven who's left was closed but right eye was open and had a golden glow to it as it stared at Bell.

He couldn't tell why but... the look in that ravens eyes... felt as if someone powerful was watching him.

After a moment, the owl took off and flew away, but the raven stayed a moment longer, before it closed its one open eye, then reopened both showing that they were black again. The raven then took off, heading north towards Babel.

Bell didn't know why, but he felt like he was being assessed and judged from both of those birds, or the ones controlling them.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Ahhhh this feels amazing" said Rose as she sunk into the hot bath with all the other ladies.

"It really does" said Mikoto as she sunk till her nose was just barely above the water.

Meanwhile Wiene was getting her hair and self washed off by Haruhime and Zidril who just arrived a little while ago from her time at the shop making more weapons.

"Why isn't Bell here?" Said Wiene curiously.

Most of the girls in the room froze and blushed, while Hestia let out a awkward chuckle "men and woman have... strange rules".

"Speak for yourself, I wish he was here so he could massage me" said Rose with a fanged grin and her tail started to wag under the water.

"Well, i think it's good he's not, think of poor Wiene" said Artemis.

Rose pouted but still nodded.

"He's in the other bath cleaning himself off from... training" said Fenrys with her cheeks getting red.

"Yeah~ stamina training~" chirped Rose as her cheeks got redder.

Mikoto sank under the water, while both Lily and Haruhime went redder than Rose's hair. Hestia pretended she just didn't hear that and Yukime had a lustful grin on her face, while Husfreya did her best to ignore it, but her cheeks did glow red from the noises she heard earlier, plus remembering the short dance they had at the party.

"What's training" said Wiene pulling everyone out of their thoughts.

"Its what makes you stronger" squeaked Lily quickly, hoping to change the subject so she could stop rubbing her thighs together. But she then looked up and saw a knowing smirk on Rose's face as she mouthed 'your thinking of Bell'.

Lily quickly disappeared under the water as Rose giggled.

"Your mean" said Fenrys staring at her sister.

"I'm only teasing her, besides that's how you got with him" Rose shot back.

Fenrys went red and looked away.

The rest of the girls finally finished washing themselves off with soap and now all of them were soaking in the hot water and enjoying how it felt.

"This Familia has to many woman with giant breasts" grumbled Lily as she sank into the water began blowing bubbles out of her nose in the water in anger.

All women present all looked down at themselves before some of them smiled or were neutral.

"They can get in the way when studying at times" said Naaza looking down at her own.

"Your telling me" said Rose as she gestured to her growing breasts that if she were to guess.. they were nearing the size of lady Freya.

"Don't worry Lily, Bell doesn't care about that at all" said Zidril looking at her and wiggling her eyebrows.

Lilys face got red again and she wished she didn't say anything.

Wiene sat where she was in the water pouting slightly, before a idea popped into her head and she quickly stood up with a large smile on her face.

"I'd much rather spend time with Bell" she said and quickly ran out of the bathroom before the girls could fully process what she said, but when they did, it was already to late.

"Huh?! Wiene what are you doing here!?!?!" Yelled Bell from the other side of the wall.

The woman present then proceeded to hear screams of pain as Wiene accidentally cut him again with her claws.

"And done, also why didn't we think of this earlier?" Said Welf looking at the others.

"I... actually don't know" said Hestia.

"I swear your always getting hurt when we aren't looking" said Fenrys as she leaned against Bell, but was a little sad that Rose wasn't down here since she was feeling very tired plus her feet hurt to much.

Wiene smiled happily at seeing her claws gone and she quickly hopped out of the chair and sat on Bells knee since both Zidril and Fenrys were on either side of him. She then gently poked his cheek with her finger before speaking "doesn't.. hurt?".

"Nope, I'm all ok Wiene" said Bell.

His face was suddenly grabbed by her as she smiled and seemed to play with his cheeks "that's good" she said before laughing lightly.

"Ugh.. did all of you forget she's a monster, we can't be getting this cl-" Lily stopped when she saw Wiene now staring at her with her large innocent eyes.

"Lily... you love Bell to?" She said curiously.

"H-huh!? W-w-where did that come from!?" Squeaked Lily as her cheeks got even more red than before and she was starting to hate getting so embarrassed today.

"I for one love my husband" said Zidril happily, before she felt Bell kiss her cheek making her smile and lean into him more.

"I love my mate too" said Fenrys happily as she hugged his arm tightly and moved her tail so it was hugging his back.

A small moment of silence passed before they all heard in the distance, Rose yell "I LOVE BELL TOO!!!" She yelled before going back to sleep.

"Did... she seriously wake up from you two saying you love Bell?" Said Husfreya with a raised eyebrow.

"I.. I love master Bell too!" Said Haruhime embarrassed.

"As do I, he's my precious follower!" Said Hestia with a aura of superiority.

"You do realize his wives and soon to be child come first right?" Said Yumeria entering the room with a tray of tea. She ended up shattering Hestias pride, which made her curl up into a ball on the couch and tried to become invisible.

"Oh I love Bell as well~" said Yukime with a sultry smirk as she used her tails to make her feminine figure stand out more and she subtly made her boob's look slightly bigger.

Bell snapped his head away, but he could already feel Zidril and Fenrys drilling holes into him with their stares, not out of jealousy or anger. Just why he's even trying to deny he's gonna end up with more lovers.

"I... love master Bell as well" said Mikoto as her face matched Rose's hair.

"Hes my lil brother so same here" said Welf.

"I wouldn't say.. love, but I do respect him greatly and hope we can continue to strengthen our... friendship" said Husfreya unsure if that was the right thing to say. But when she saw Bells smile as he nodded, she couldn't help but let a small smile cross her face as her cheeks warmed ever so slightly.

"I greatly appreciate everything he's done for me, so I'd gladly help him or pay him any way I can for everything he's done for me" said Naaza.

"You don't have to go that far Naaza, your my friend, plus after everything you and Miach did, I couldn't turn my back on you" said Bell.

Naaza smiled lightly and wiped a tear from her eye and whispered a soft thank you.

Lily looked around the room and saw that she was quickly outnumbered by a great margin and screamed out her true feelings like Haruhime did.

"FINE! LILY LOVES BELL TOO!!!!" She screamed before looking down as steam rose from her head.

"I..." said Artemis as she became silent and truly thought about Bell and what he was to her... he wasn't her follower, yet wielded her arrow. This made him, her Orion, her husband to be... and for the last couple months... he's grown on her greatly and it's grown to the point, she's even found herself looking forward to talking with Bell. So after thinking of all of this, she took a deep breath and spoke from her heart... like her Familia wanted "I... have grown to care for him and.... I'd like our friendship to grow into something.. more".

Looks of shock filled the room, before it was broken by Hestia.

"FINALLY!!!" Yelled Hestia throwing her arms around her and hugging her tightly "I've been waiting so long to finally admit your feeling Artemis, after all you called him your Orion before the whole city".

Artemis looked like she was about to pass out in sheer embarrassment.

Bell felt really embarrassed as he felt the womans stares bore into him more.

"I love Bell too" said Wiene clueless on the current atmosphere as she hugged Bell.

Smiling in relief that she grabbed everyone's attention, especially the woman that had looks of hunger in their eyes beforehand. He then gently hugged her and rubbed Wienes back, making the small dragon girl snuggle up more into him.

"I want your children..." were the multiple collective thoughts of most of the woman in the room seeing Bell be so fatherly with Wiene.

"He isn't strong enough to take on the Leviathan, it'd take both the Loki and Freya Familia to take down that monster, but the Kraken it'd only take one of the two" said Ouranos.

"If he is to be the hero that Zeus informed me about, then it is his duty to finish off that beast, especially since it was his parents familias who killed them" said Odin through his raven.

"Come now Odin, Bell is strong, but he'd have to at least get to level 5 or even 6 before he could pose a real challenge for the Leviathan" said Hermes.

The raven turned its head and it's lone gold eye bore straight through Hermes soul. "Then make him stronger, have him do more expeditions and have him train with Ottar".

"Are things truly this bad Odin?" Said Ouranos.

"The Leviathan has been revived and from what I've seen, the Behemoth is next to be revived and the black dragon is starting to stir from its slumber and could wake up anytime from now to years in the future" said Odin.

Silence filled the room, as the weight of his words hit them all and Ouranos let out a tired sigh, it felt as if everything Zeus and Heras children did were for nothing since the very monsters they gave all to kill, were now coming back.

"Very well Odin, I shall make sure the Hestia Familia gets put on more quests into the dungeon" said Ouranos.

The raven nodded it's head before it opened it's wings and flew off since Odin said everything that the two in the room needed to know.

Both Hermes and Ouranos stood there in silence for a few moments before Fels entered the room.

"What news do you have?" Ouranos asked.

"They seemed to have a Vouivre that they named Wiene with them and from what I've seen, she is the most attached to Bell.

"Hmm, continue to monitor them for now, also inform the Xenos and tell them that we mightve found the person to bridge the gap" said Ouranos.

"Very well lord Ouranos" Fels said before he left the room leaving the two gods alone.

"This is all fishy... the Kraken moving around and Leviathan coming back to life.. someone is doing all this" said Hermes.

"The question is who, very few beings in existence have the power to cause this and the ones that can, don't because of our rules" said Ouranos.

"Yes but.. some gods don't, plus chaos is also a factor as well. But things are bad right now, almost the entire port city of Melen was destroyed and about half the cities population is now arriving here as refugees" said Hermes.

"It's stretching our resources more thin, plus Rakia is apparently gearing up to restart the war... also according to the guild, the elven forests have cut all contact with us" said Ouranos.

"What? All of them?" Said Hermes who got a nod in response, making him bite his thumb "but why? We've always had a good relationship with all the elven forests".

"I currently do not know, but it's very concerning and until we figure out why, I want your Familia to keep a close eye on all the strong elves in Orario that have more loyalty to the elven forests than our city" said Ouranos.

"I'll inform them immediately and if I may make a suggestion, I believe we need to do something to improve the moral here in Orario. Ever since word of what happened in Melen reached us, the entire city is in a more depressed state" said Hermes.

"Very well, during out next Denatus we shall discuss it" said Ouranos as he watched Hermes leave and he let out one last small sigh "heavens help us... and Zeus, please he correct on all of us including Odin putting our faith in that young man".
