Chapitre 45: A Man, and Boy
A man and boy were walking down a beaten dirt road, Mid-length black hair with a silverfish luster, deathly green eyes, Standing nearly 182cm… Next to him a boy no older than 15 at 150cm, stark white unkempt hair, and ruby red eyes… As the duo neared Oriaro's walls the hustle and bustle of caravans could be heard… even now nearly 50 meters from the gate where the end of the line starts the duo could hear the occasional yelling and screaming from some merchant that got turned away for some reason or another
After nearly 3 hours the duos turn came around, The guard looked back and forth between the two before speaking "Gate Fee is 250V per person, any luggage will have to be checked before entering the city"
The man, Lumas didn't stall pulling a 200V and 50V coin from his coin purse handing it to the guard and quickly leading Bell inside, the guard yelled out something about getting a license but Lumas wasn't bothered he never had one so it wasn't important right?...Right?
Skillfully weaving through alleys Lumas soon found himself at the gates to the Twilight Manor, As he stood there taking in the sight that he hadn't seen in who knows how long he jogged up to the guy standing guard, Lumas didn't recognize him so he was probably new waving slightly Lumas called out "Yo, you trying open up the gate for me? Loki is probably looking for me"
The guard let out a grunt "Not another one of you, Look this boy here definitely ain't Lumas so head off on your way"
Lumas frowned as he looked at Bell before nodding, Yup he definitely wasn't Lumas… wait….
"Umm, I'm Lumas"
"Pffft" The guard keeled over bursting out into a laughing fit, "You? Mate that's the best joke I've heard all day" shaking his head as he worked his way back to his feet the guard spoke out "Alright leave now no more of your games, can't have you squabble sitting outside miss Loki's manor"
Releasing a sigh, Lumas while tempted to just melt the gate down in a fit of anger just manifested a glass of chilled apple juice for himself and Bell before chairs appeared under the two "If you could, would you fetch Riveria… or Ais… or Susan… Or Sebas…."
Lumas went on recalling everyone he remembered from the Familia, however the guard just stood on the other side of the gate grinding his teeth, he was beginning to get a migraine. Not even processing the fact that Lumas is listing off people that when called upon should be immediately notified…
It took only 20 minutes for Ais followed by Susan and Sebas to come running out the door, as Ais reached the gate she saw Lumas, and was confused 'Who's this?!' He looked like Lumas, if Lumas was 10 years older… however Lumas couldn't stop the tears pooling in the corners of his eyes as he stood up spreading his arms wide, Susan was the first to collide into him knocking him back into the chair
"Missed me huh?" As those words left Lumas' mouth soft sobs were heard from Susan as she weakly nodded, Ais was quick to follow, falling into his embrace… off to the side was Bell and Sebas standing awkwardly with the guard, Sebas turned to Bell "So, how'd you find yourself in his company?"
With a shrug Bell spoke "Robbed him" the guard froze.. he just realized he was stopping Lumas… THE LUMAS… he quickly began to hyperventilate thinking that once Lumas was done cuddling Susan and Ais he was going to be burnt alive… It seems the rumors have reached new heights…
Sebas nodded "I wouldn't recommend crossing him… If he brought you all the way here, it's because he saw something in you… don't take his trust for granted, it would be the biggest mistake of your life…"
Bell could only stiffly nod, despite there being no bloodlust or killing intent a pressure was bearing down on him as Sebas spoke, seeing that Bell understood Sebas gave a curt bow as he spoke
"Sebas Freycliff, Butler of Lumas Freycliff, Heir to the Freycliff Lands, Wealth, and Familia"
Seemingly a silver haired beauty appeared next to Sebas giving and elegant bow "Susan Freycliff, Maid of Lumas Freycliff"
A chuckle sounded out from the side as Lumas spoke an arm around Ais "Susan, Sebastian, Ais meet Bell Cranel" Bell gave an awkward bow as he began to rise Lumas' voice sounded out "Sebas somewhere private please"
"Very Well Milord" Slowly the surroundings began to fade as a new scenery took its place, soon they found themselves in the upstairs of Lumas' forge
"Alright Bell, Remove your shirt and lay down on your stomach" Bell quickly threw off his shirt and laid down, as Lumas climbed on top of his back pulling an Icepick from the nearby table he pricked his finger causing a prismatic drop of Ichor to form, slowly that drop lost its luster turning into a pale gold as Lumas drew the crest that houses that Falna, Status, and Excelia
As he finished a bright light shined from the crest before fading just as quick as it came revealing Bell's Status

Ais was completely shocked… Lumas a god? Since when? Sebas and Susan had a sort of connection to Lumas so they already knew but they didn't expect him to make a Familia, as for Bell he felt a cold sensation wash through his body sending chills down his spine, as he righted himself and made his way to his feet he felt stronger, faster, more reactive… the feeling was amazing.
"Don't get lost in the small amount of power you already possess, You are simply an unrefined chunk of ore and the dungeon is the furnace… Don't and I repeat DONT, sign up as an adventurer just simply enter the dungeon, if you have any questions as anyone in the Loki Familia, I'll speak to Loki about getting you a party set up, If you need to sell drops or Magic stones bring them to me I'll buy them off of you"
