Puss- Puranos...

As Freya entered the guild all eyes landed onto her, some drifted to Ottar only to refocus on Freya she wasn't a goddess of beauty for no reason she could make whole kingdoms fall with a single smile, As she approached the desk Freya spoke to the half elf behind it

"I would like some information on a few adventures, Could you take me to a private room to continue our talk?" The half elf simply nodded leading Freya and Ottar into a room in the back before speaking "Now which adventurers would you like to see the public information of?"

"Lumas, Loki Familia… Susan, Loki Familia" the half elf nodded before leaving the room, Freya turned towards Ottar "You've said you have seen the kid before mind explaining?" Ottar nodded as he spoke "Some Minotaurs ran from Allen and I, One made it up to the 7th floor by the time we made it there we found the boy, Lumas standing on top of it strangling it with some sort of weapon the kid was beat by the time the Minotaur died he had reopened his wounds I figured he'd die but I left him my knife and dragged him near the wall"

"You didn't see him fight? No Magic? Skills?" Ottar shook his head and the half elf walked into the room with a confused look "Umm, miss Freya… There is no adventurer by the name Lumas or Susan nor have the Loki Familia updated their roster"

Freya slightly frowned before standing up and making her way out of the guild leaving a few words to the half elf as she left

=========================================

Some time has passed and Lumas has slowly gotten some control over the two stubborn flames, he has to either use one or the other they refuse to mix and refused to be used together not that Lumas really minded… he thought of his Magic as a last ditch effort, he knew if he focused too much on Magic he will be weak without it, and so with the help of Susan he had began to kick his physical training up another notch

Currently the two were in a heated exchange, Susan was unharmed but Lumas' whole body was swollen from being hit with the switch so many times he lost count, Today their training would be cut short as Ais came running into the training grounds "Lumas, some guild employees are at the gate asking for you and Susan… Finn is leading them to Loki's office"

Lumas sighed as he sheathed his sword and fixed his clothes "Susan if you would" Susan let out a soft giggle if she seductively ran her finger across Lumas' chest as she walked by causing the swelling to fade away with the pain, Stretching his limbs he left with Susan and Ais

In Loki's office Sebastian could be seen serving tea to their guests, Loki was upset at the quality, taste, texture… it was all wrong… Susan ruined tea for her 'regular' tea couldn't even compare to the godly stuff Susan was capable of making, Loki even gave her the worst Tea Leaves she could find and the tea still came out heavenly… she nearly pronounced her love right there

"Loki we have heard that you have 2 new members that you haven't added to the roster, One even capable of matching Ottar" Loki scoffed "Where did you hear that bullshit? Have I once been late adding to the roster or reporting my 'children's' levels?! Once this is figured out I will have the guild pay compensation"

The guild employees began to sweat as Loki began listing everything she has done to help the guild and this is how they pay her back, it was nearly to the point that they were about to give up and leave when Susan and Lumas entered the door

Every guild employee present was solely focused on Susan, her beauty knew no bounds Loki smiled "My my~ you couldn't have come all the way here just to court a maid have you?" They choked as they heard her words, a maid?!

Lumas glared at them and went to speak but

Susan spoke "Young Master, I doubt they have ill intent," Suddenly she became excited "Young Master! Maybe they came to gift you presents for your nameday," she turned towards the guild employees "Im correct, right? I doubt you would come all this way to ruin young masters nameday with business?"

"Uh uh…" one of the employees stuttered trying to find his words when another came in to save him "We have learned that Lumas joined the Loki Familia and Loki is hiding his involvement alongside his level… that goes for you too Miss Susan"

Susan quickly waved her hands "No no you can't call a lowly maid in such a way" tears slowly formed in her eyes as she dropped to her knees "Young Master, Forgive me I have no qualms about being a lowly maid and wish to continue serving" Lumas looked at her from the corner of his eye while Loki held back a laugh, Lumas spoke "Susan brew some tea for us" Susan nodded before moving to a table at the side of the room

Lumas then turned towards the guild employees "I'm not in Loki's Familia, Neither is Susan or Sebastian… We aren't registered as Adventurers therefore we are not obliged to inform you of our levels… Sebastian," Sebastian looked towards Lumas "Yes my lord?"

"Is there a law within Oriaro that dictates that any who enter the dungeon must be registered as an adventurer?" Not a moment later Sebas spoke "No sire, No such thing exists to my knowledge, Unless it was added this morning I doubt there is such a thing" Lumas nodded while Sebastian opened the door

Lumas spoke "Then I believe we are done here, Sebastian will escort you off the premises… Unless you have other things which you wish to speak about with Loki, I believe compensation is in order for Defamation right?" Finishing his words by looking at Loki who smiled as she spoke "Defamation? Maybe I could easily push it unless the guild is able to cut my taxes down to 13% for the next 5 years"

One of the guild employees looked like he swallowed a bug while all the others looked at him, he spoke "Miss Loki the lowest we could do is 15% from the usual 28%" seeing Loki about to speak with a small frown he quickly added "We could lower the taxes on Magic Crystals by 2% making it 1% for the next 5 years as well"

A large smile formed in Loki's face as she turned to Susan who had a piece of parchment and an quill, Susan handed it to Loki who quickly looked over to be pleasantly surprised that there was no loopholes aside for the many layered allowing Loki to 'terminate' the contract over nearly anything… She could be unhappy one day and just end it if she felt like it however why would she

Loki wasn't worried about the guild employees finding it she 'barely' noticed it, after this the day went along with no major issues

The next day Lumas was woken by a soft nudge from Ais who was sitting on the bed next to him, seeing his eyes open Ais spoke "Guild Head Royman is outside, He says Ouranos has invited you into his living quarters for a talk" Lumas stretched before wiping the fatigue from his eyes, he nearly groaned that he was too old for this despite only being 11… Susan wasn't lying when she said it was his Name Day, he got some gifts mainly just various ores from the lower floors however what caught his eye was the Kasangi(?) it reminded him of something but he couldn't place his finger on it, But this ore had an explosive reaction to high temperatures he was told there were crude grenades made from these but he had a whole different idea

Strapping his sword to his waist he went to the Gate with Susan and Sebas at either side a single step behind him and found Royman waiting for him, The trip to Ouranos was awkwardly quiet… Elves are weird creatures… They soon arrived in front of a large manor, One that could put the Loki Manor to shame with its extravagance as they entered they found Ouranos standing in the foyer arms out wide to his sides as he spoke

"Welcome welcome," Ouranos paused as he looked over his three guests when his eyes landed on Lumas he shook… it seems he found the other presence, however it seems too small not even a sliver of what he felt his eyes narrowed as he attempted to peer into Lumas' soul peeling back layer after layer, He was surprised at the protection of illusions on the boys soul just as Ouranos felt he was near the end Lumas spoke

"Really?" Lumas was uncharacteristically upset like something was egging him on however his mind wasn't clear, a pressure slowly began to expand from Lumas raising the temperature in the room, his eyes glowed as the flames within them raged, Royman was pinned to the floor, Susan and Sebas were sweating but still stood tall, as for Ouranos his soul trembled in primal fear he went to speak but a familiar presence shut him up… Hephaestus, he nearly looked around for her before he realized it was coming from Lumas

Ouranos felt his divinity leaking from his vessel slowly weakening him "You dare peer into my soul, Tearing away at it searching for my secrets…" Every word that left Lumas' mouth caused the pressure to increase "Ouranos, Promodial god of the Sky, The Progenitor of the Sky… How far have you fallen…"

How long had Ouranos been tied to the Seal of the Dungeon powering it with his own Divinity, Unmoving on his throne at the top of the world… Only recently had he been freed from his prison that caused him to become paranoid of those who wish for those that are locked in the dungeon to roam free once more…

"You have no reason to question me or my methods! I AM A GOD! You will give me the respect I deserve as a firstborn of 'heaven'-" Ouranos was about to continue ranting when he saw Lumas' face scrunch "I will not stoop to your level Ouranos, How many have died under your eyes as your tore through their souls searching for their secrets… However, let's see how you react when your secrets are revealed… 'Monkey See, Monkey Do'"

Ouranos' whole life was revealed to Lumas as Lumas ripped away at Ouranos soul

=========================================

A small flame sitting in the abysmal void flickering threatening to be extinguished, The small greenish-black flame was lonely; it had traveled through many '——' in search of silence, Only when it had found the silence it wished for did it miss the noise of life… In all the time it had traveled it had gathered the forbidden '——' energy that corrupted its very existence

This corruption only changed its properties, It was once the center of all the glue that held all things 'good' together, but it's pursuit of silence led it to its current existence…

Finding it the end of the silence the flame imploded burning all its energy creating all that is known and unknown with this explosion the silence faded and gave birth to many things eventually the primordial gods came to existence one of them being Ouranos

Ouranos knew only of his duty, He was to be the Sky standing above all protecting all from the darkness of the void

Soon came his 'brothers' and 'sisters' filling the heavens with godly beings, but a war broke out between them; everything was handed to them not to mention their divinity allowing them to produce various things, Many gods died only to reform as their soul wasn't destroyed

Millions of years of a godly war caused the singular world under the heavens to breed life, the scattered divinity, Magic, life force, and Ichor breathed life into the barren lands… Slowly the war stopped as they all turned their focus to the lower realm; the humans were plagued with a dungeon… The true existence of the world was a prison, a prison for all who decided to eat the universe that the Lonely flame has created

A flat world, One so deep even in a million lifetime one would reach the bottom… Unless they stride through the dungeon killing the unending prisoners along the way, The three great quests…a Leviathan… a True Black Dragon, a Behemoth… Ouranos knew they were simply playthings when compared with some of the things hidden in the dungeon

Ouranos had a single 'memory' of the deepest floor of the dungeon… the roof was unseeable as it stretched upwards hundreds of thousands of miles, no walls were in sight… Only a beast so huge the Tower of Babel couldn't compare, glossy golden scales resting on a pile of gold and treasure so vast it trumped the beast

This memory was forgotten in fear and Ouranos decided that no god shall enter the dungeon in fear of angering the beast held within, a beast that could devour divinity something the gods had in limitless supply… how strong would this beast become from a singular infinite divinity bank?

The final major memory made Lumas freeze… Enyo, Ouranos' first born daughter his only child… a child who surpassed mortal limits reaching the rank of god before her 20th nameday, the strength she had threatened the peace the gods built… If the mortals knew the way forward they would rely less and less on the gods… Ouranos needed to keep the balance and banished his daughter to the dungeons, to never be free, to never see the sky as long as he shall live
