Fate/Rebirth

And we began to walk toward the Gnome's General Store, and I began to remember who was he. His name is Bom Cornwall a gnome with white hair and brown eyes. He wears an old gray-blue clothing and a red pointed hat. He's appearance is the same as a garden gnome. And in the anime you see him buying Liliruca Arde stolen goods.

Why did Syr send us to that gnome store?... maybe she thought that we need someone like him. Well, we do, after all, is better this way. If we sell our valuables to a normal store, people will talk, and problems will come to our door.

As we were walking, we began to see people equipped with weapons and big backpacks. We saw them in parties of four to six people. These are adventurers that have joined a familia and go to the dungeon to farm monsters and try to dive in the dungeon.

These adventurers come from all over the world to join a familia, of course they come with different goals, some for money or to get stronger, and some come escaping from something or someone, this place, Orario is where you can get your dreams come true.

Money, fame, women, anything...

As we continued to walk, we began to talk about them.

Aria: "Who are this people, Kyo?. Those are the adventurers that you told me?" She asks me as we look at them as we walk by.

Kyomu: "Um, yeah, these are adventurers. Let me explain you a little about them. This people have to join a familia to become an adventurer, this familia's are a group or something like a guild, were they join to receive what they call "Falna", a spell that is engraved in their body to be able to contain "excellia" that the monster let out when they are killed." And Aria said.

Aria: "And what is the use of this thing called "excellia", Kyo?" She asks with a serious expression. But I can't help myself, and I began to hold her hand. She is so cute when she is serious. She got surprised, but she didn't say nothing just a blush on her face. And I continue.

Kyomu: "The excellia contained in their body is used to raise their parameters and grow stronger, they can even get innate skills, is an amazing system." I said with a smile.

And Aria said.

Aria: " But it should have some limits, isn't it?" She asks me as we stopped and we began to look each other eyes. And I get close to her and began to play with her beautiful blonde hair.

Kyomu: " Yeah, of course, I was observing them, and get to know the limits of their strength. The adventurers have "levels" that they can level up by containing a certain amount of excellia, and by breaking their limits in a fight or a great challenge, the excellia plus the help of the gods, they can level up and expanding the limits of their body. I am sure, that the max they can level up is to level ten, that should be a peak <Heroic Rank Iron>" I said while Aria was enjoying my love. She with a smile said.

Aria: "Then how many people are at level ten, they will be probably our biggest challenge" She said as I was c.a.r.e.s.sing her face. And the people began to look at us, and we began to walk again. And I continue.

Kyomu: "None. The maximum level accomplished until now is level seven, and they are only two of them. One called Ottar from the Freya Familia and one more that I don't know." I said as we almost were reaching to the store that is just in the corner. And I continue.

Kyomu: " A level seven adventurer is the best of the best right now, probably this adventurer have at least three parameters in A rank. Skill wise I don't know but they should have something good enough for them to grow to this level." I said and Aria got serious because if this level seven adventurers have this strength they will have similar power. And I continue. " Don't worry, you have Excalibur and Avalon, they don't have hougus so you will always have the advantage." I said trying to make her relax a little.

She nods to me with a smile. And I continue as we reach the store's entrance.

Kyomu: "Also, if is necessary and we need to escape I just have to use Ea to destroy this city!." I said with a carefree smile. And she looks at me with a bitter smile and said.

Aria: "Let's try to avoid that... I don't want to hurt innocents..." She said looking at my eyes. And I said.

Kyomu: "I will never promise you that." I said with a serious expression, looking at her eyes with an undying will. "If... If you, If we are in danger, I will use it to kill anyone who would try to hurt us. Even if they are innocents or not. Even if I have to destroy this world to protect you, I will do it, without doubts, with none regrets." I said to her looking at her.

She knows that I fall in love for her, even if just a little time has passed, my love for her is real, and I will never leave this feeling disappear.

They are mine, now and forever.

She looks at me with bright eyes, and a beautiful smile appears on her face. And she said.

Aria: "I don't know... why I become to love. No, I do, you treat me like a girl, like someone to be protected, to be loved. And I was never treated that way. You love me even knowing my defects... my sins. I-I don't know how something this... this good happen to me... " She said with a smile and tears in her eyes and I hug her and she continues.

Aria: "Kyo, why... why do you love me so much even when we know each other just about a week ago.?" She asks me as she looks at my eyes. And I began to think about my past.

My dark past... and I answer her.
