Walking The Wrong Path

Untitled Part 6

The fight was being projected. From beginning to finish. Everyone saw Bell gracefully dancing along as he killed monster after monster. Getting a few small cuts or hits but not stopping his rhythm.

( Italics represent the recording Bell)

Bell "I'll be damned if I let her die today," he said as he fought valiantly down to the last monster. Everyone noticed the massive grin on his face, how he acted like a madman, some even shook at the idea of pissing him off, while, other's were enchanted by his way of fighting.

Even his familia members didn't know how he fought now that he had new weapons, and all they could do was just stare at the screen.

Bell finished killing every small monster. He stood still preparing himself before he said "ok Ugly, let's dance," and gave an evil smirk.

Riveria was shocked at the stark difference between his behaviour and when he is fighting. No mistakes in his movements, they were refined to perfection. But how was that possible, it had been only a few weeks since Bell joined their familia. He was fighting like a mid level 5 with just his swords and with his magic, he could rival Ottar easily.

People watched in silence and sometimes gasped as Bell got progressively more injured. Then people saw his spells. He was manipulating fire, lightning and even darkness. They watched in horror, as Bell's speed increased drastically, as he was literally devouring chunks of the goliath. Then the goliath jumped.

People were surprised at how high it jumped but then they see a small black go up and destroy half of the goliath. Ottar was shocked, not just him but many others, they all waondered the same thing, how could one level 4 possess so much power. Loki had a big O on her face, she did not expect these spells from Bell. The fight finished and everyone heard Llard give the exact verdict to the others since he was the one recording. Also, he turned around just in time to show Riveria jump and hug Bell and start crying.

Yet again, everyone was shocked to see how she was behaving. The mature and unapprochable high elf was not only worried for someone but she was also bawling her eyes out. Bell was shocked as well. Did Riveria really love him as well? Riveria in reality was just blushing, she was exposed, she secretly planned to kill Llard later.

Loki trying to break the silence, cleared her throat "well folks, how do you like Bell now?" she nervously laughed.

Ganesha somewhere at the back "I am Ganesha,"

Bell just laughed and thought ' this clown really brings a smile for me'

The party continued but not like before. It was more composed and people solely focused on celebrating Bell's victory trying not to think of the consequences about what if he released the magic in the city. The night ended and the other familias left. As things were being packed up, Bell took a bottle of alcohol to go to the roof, he felt like wallowing for tonight.

Bell was sitting down on the roof, his mind had taken enough damage. He really wanted to end it, even during the party he could not feel true excitement. Except for when he was with Riveria, seeing her dancing with him, hugging him in the recording. It made his heart pound. But the voice kept pestering him. He took a consequetive sequence of gulps straight from the bottle. It no longer burned in his throat, but it helped soothe the pain.

Yet again, his solo session was interrupted by Riveria.

Riveria "goddamn it... Bell, you are drinking again." she said disappointed.

Bell "oh hey Riv, how was the party,"

Riveria "don't you Riv me, you almost went over your limit countless times today, also what the hell was up with you glaring Freya?"
