Walking The Wrong Path

First Time

"well, the easiest place is outside Orario but where?" Finn thought. As they all thought for a few seconds. Loki got an idea.

"how bout we go to the guild and see if there is any quest for outside, and then we can get him out of the dungeon for a while?" She suggested. Finn nodded and the three of them left as Amid reapplied bandages now that Bell was separated from Riveria.

In the Guild

Eina was working her normal day. She didn't expect anything today, but as fate would have it, she got something. A clown Goddess and two of her strongest members appeared requesting her prescence.

"H-hi Loki sama, how may I help?" She asked in a professional tone but it was dead obvious how nervous she was.

"chill out sweet cheeks, we're here to ask for a quest outside of Orario for our little rabbit," Loki smirked.

"wait ya can't call im little no more, he's a big boy now ain't he?" Gareth smirked.

"For Bell? Why outside of Orari- oh ok I can actually understand.." she said realising.

""getting him away from the dungeon,"" Eina and Loki said in unison. They all chuckled lightly.

"Well, coincidentally we do have a quest, especially for a high ranking adventurer, problem is..." Eina said shifting her gaze downwards.

"Well, what is the issue?" Finn asked curious as to what the problem was.

"the location of it... is the Alf's royal forest.." Eina said hesitantly. The three, obviously knowing the meanings of this, gasped.

"Hmm... is there no other quests for outside," Loki asked looking for an alternatively, and to her dismay Eina could only shake her head. They all sighed, 'well the boy's health comes first' she thought and as much as she hated the thought, she had to send Riveria with him since no one else could even guide them and as a human, he would get attacked almost immediately as soon as he entered. But sending her to there was also qwuite the impossible task. THey were stuck between a rock and a hard place, both options would've hurt but they had to choose. Either Bell would continue going to the dungeon, and soon his body would crumble or they would have to send Riveria to a place where she will hate every second of her life.

Previously they may have been worried that she would not eventually return due to her father's force to keep her with them, but now that Bell was the target, there was no way in hell that he would allow her to be forced them to stay there.

"Sigh, I guess we will have to ask Riveria when she awakens," Loki let out an exasperated sigh. There was just no other choice. "What did the old cunt ask for?" Loki asked, not even hiding how much she didn't like the King.

"Apparently, they are under attack by a strong beast in the area, and their members need training so that they could survive." Eina said, "It didn't say much but the reward is quite fitting of the royal family. They asked for people to be dispatched by 1 week." Eina said.

The next day

Riveria awoke in a hospital bed, "I have been seeing this ceiling a bit too much than I would like." She talked to herself. She sat up and saw Bell's battered shape and felt the immense guilt. 'It's because I was negligent of him, if only I had answered his question.' She thought before she was interrupted by the entrance of Loki.

"How ya feeling momma?" She asked with a grin on her face.

"better than before, how is he?" Riveria asked concerned.

"he was much worse than you, after all he had to carry you from the 37th floor, but after I gave him a status update he started healing faster," Loki said.
