"why are they in one room?" Finn asked. Amid without looking behind responded quite quickly.

"It doesn't take a God to figure out what's on between those two and so that I don't have half injured patients running around, I put them in one room." Amid explained. She opened the door and led to the horrifying scene. Except it wasn't, it was rather... beautiful sort to speak. A white haired prince lay, all bandaged up except for his hands which just had a constant supply of healing potions. In his arms lay an elven princess, bandaged in the forehead, but that's it. It looked like some painting with how pale they both were.

"uhh, not to make light of the situation... but what the fuck is that?" Gareth asked confused.

"That sadly is the problem I was having," Amid sighed.

"Elaborate," Finn asked confused toe the edges as well. Why the hell did Amid, who especially cared for her patients decide to pile on two of her patients on each other?

"When Bell arrived with Riveria in his hands, he fell unconscious. yet his grip was so tight that when I tried to pull her off of him, he wouldn't budge. I ended up having to apply medication while they are in this state. So I thought perhaps my level of strength wasn't enough." Amid reasoned. Finn thought for a second before responding.

"I am willing to try, but don't expect too much. Bell's strength stat seems to be only second to Ottar," Finn said, he walked up to them and tried to remove Riveria from Bell's arms. Nothing. "thought so, Gareth give me a bit of help here," he asked as Gareth walked to them as well. They tried both at once and finally Riveria came out of Bell grasped which seemed to pull him from his lying position. Unexpectedly, however, he did not go back down. he stayed sat up.

"Woah, that's a weird coincidence," Loki said. Finn did not agree, his thumb was thumping, warning him of impending danger. Indeed, he was right.

Soon a dark aura was released from Bell's body. The gust of wind pushed things back and was great enough for Finn and Gareth to feel the impact from nothing. Bell slowly lifted his head, revealing his eyes. The colours within them reversed. The iris a pure white and the rest a blood red, almost mimicking a monster.

"what the hell is going on?" Gareth asked shielding his eyes.

"I don't know but it's definently not something nice," Finn asked. Soon Bell opened his mouth. "Is he going to say something?" Loki asked. Equally as shocked as everyone else.

"D̴̖͆i̵̢̹̽͘s̸̞̞̓c̶͉̩̐̒r̶̬̉͜e̵̥͑p̵̣͊̅a̷͖͍̓̍n̶̠̉c̸̪̅y̵̚ͅ ̶̼͗̊D̷̖̓̍è̷͇̟́t̴̫̤̅e̴̗͑c̷̹̯͌t̸̲͓̓͝e̶̤͠d̷̘̠̄̂" he said in a deranged voice.

"What the hell? Did he say something weird?" Finn asked, no matter of preparation could make him ready for this.

At the Babel Tower some distance away

Freya hadn't looked around the city for a few days. She then spotted her favourite souls at the moment in Dian Cecht. 'why are they there?' she thought. As she spotted the pure white with a dark flame contained within, and the mellow green soul.

"Ah there you two are, now how will your day change things?" She watched curiously, watching the pair had been fun to her. She had by no means given up on Bell but there were several problems. Bell's ego was very fragile as of right now, due to the loss of his familia he has a sense of weakness about him, or as Riveria described, vulnerability. If she were to end Riveria, or take him away from her, he would surely break, his soul would be shattered to unimaginable pieces. So she didn't take the risks. Suddenly, as she watched with a smile, it instantly was replaced by a frown.

Suddenly, the black flame in Bell's soul burst forth, immediately swallowing up the purity within him, as Freya noticed Riveria's soul slightly away from his, the darkness was overwhelming and endless. It was as if she was staring into the underworld, the soul filled with anger, hatred and almost every negative emotion which would surely make anyone puke. But she didn't, she had a more urgent atmosphere to her, as if something was terribly amiss.
