Fallen

"You done?"

Lumas jolted his unfocused eyes landed on the 'man' in front of him standing nearly as tall as himself, messy blonde short hair and blue eyes… Lumas' eyes instantly focused his pupils shrinking ever so slightly as he twisted his body sending a punch towards the man's head, the man didn't even look fazed as he stood unmoving waiting for the last moment to evade however Lumas forcibly threw his hand down transferring the momentum into his leg

The man was beyond confused: what kind of punch is this? Does this child serious believe this is at all useful? While a flurry of questions ran through The man's mind Riveria was in the same situation until she heard the faintest hint of a mutter

"... all to the beginning"

The man was shocked he used his body to hide the activation of the spell, As the tattoo like scars lit up into green-white flame-like sparks Lumas kicked off the ground with all his strength twisting his torso, as the menacing 'flaming' fist came up from the ground flying towards the man's head he simply tilted his head back causing the fist to barely miss him, all he felt in that moment was similar to a hammer being smashed on his thumb by a level 7, a bone chilling breeze wash over his body he felt as if he avoided death in that instance... but as if to prove him wrong a golden haired women simply caught the hand as if it was the most casual thing to do before flicking Lumas' forehead causing an audible crack

Lumas instantly dropped to the ground clutching his forehead as a childish pout marred his face

"What was that for?!"

Riveria shouted concern evident on her face, Lumas just shook his head in pain as he softly spoke

"I-I don't k-k-know"

Seeing Lumas more confused then she was she simply narrowed her eyes, she had watched the scars violently catch aflame… It was unlike anything she's seen before, it goes against everything she knows… it's cold yet hot, lightning yet fire, deadly yet unharming… Riveria almost started ripping her hair out at her thoughts with a sigh she listened to Lumas

"I apologize… you just reminded me of someone… what who… someone…"

Lumas gripped his head as a small sharp pain shot through it, he felt as if he remembered less he couldn't remember anything from his previous life, not even himself… wait previous life, that makes no sense

Riveria watched as Lumas' expression rapidly changed through varying amounts of confusion, anger, and sadness then he looked up meeting a pair of golden eyes, surprised at how close they were Lumas stumbled back catching a look at the women's face and he was stunned, frozen midstep staring into her golden orbs only when she spoke did he come back to reality

"Hel lo" pausing her word as she cutely tilted her head with her finger on her chin "Cute?...Cute…" finishing her words with a nod she turned around after waving towards Riveria and the 'man-child' leaving a frozen Lumas pointing at himself

"C-c-cute? Ehhhh me?"

The man-child laughed as his hand landed on Lumas' shoulder with some weight

"Look at you pulling the attention of the 'Sword Princess' on your first day… the amount of people that would kill to be in your position right now…"

"Sword Princess?"

"Ahh you don't know… That was Ais she is part of our front line in the dungeon, you'll be able to meet the others soon as for Bete don't pay him any mind he is… an acquired taste?"

Lumas heard the uncertainty in the man's voice he was about to ask when the man spoke reaching out his hand

"Finn by the way"

Shaking his hand

"Lumas…"

Letting his words trail off Lumas looked as if a brick fell on his head

"A-a DUNGEON?!"

Finn looked at him confused, who doesn't know of the dungeon?

"Yea? Do you not know anything"

Riveria intervened

"It seems his memory is worse than we thought… Lumas, do you remember who your god is?"

Lumas stood there thinking hard enough that steam could almost be visible then with all the confidence in the world he spoke

"'Umr At-Tawil"

"Huh?"

Both Finn and Riveria spoke beyond confused, they may not know every god that descended but they were pretty confident that all the big players were known to Loki, Riveria looked at Finn who only nodded before walking down one of the hallways

"Come Lumas we still got training to do"

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

Loki was slumped in a chair swirling her glass filled with the most potent whiskey she had, even the smell sent chills down her spine the bottle she used was usually for special occasions but some bad memories resurfaced leading to Loki's current drunken state just as she poured another glass she heard a knock at the door

"Leave me"

There was a pause before a voice resounded

"Loki, It's Finn… It's about Lumas"

Loki shot up nearly tripping over the carpet as she ran to the door quickly unlocking it and yanking Finn into the room

"What is it?"

She seemed slightly excited a deep red hue coating her face from her previous drinking endeavors

"His god… do you know Umr At-Tawil?"

Loki froze

"At-Tawil Umr or Umr At-Tawil"

Finn was confused at her seriousness. What difference does the wording make?

"Umr At- Tawil…"

Loki visibly relaxed

"Thank the heavens… if that psycho descended he'd bring his whole family… and that Cthulhu…"

Loki shuddered at the thought of that 'Man' then a memory that she wished could be erased… a memory that ruined a certain something resurfaced….

Looking at Loki's blushed face, touched knees slowly rubbing each other, all while shuddering… Finn was beyond confused as he watched Loki go from disgusted to reminiscent back to disgusted an uncountable amount of times in the next few minute, Finn just quietly left the room leaving Loki to her own vices

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

Riveria and Lumas were in a courtyard turned trading ground

"It is YOUR magic, you need to force your will upon it That spell has terrifying potential you simply aren't using it to its full capabilities"

Heaving out a breath Lumas muttered as quietly as possible

'Reveal the Origin, Reduce all to the Beginning'

The scars lit up traveling down his arm like a wave until he punched out forcing it to shoot out of his fist like a mushroom cloud barely the size of Lumas' fist

"Better, you're already gaining control over it as for your chants it might be easier to say it loudly… I know it seems stupid but it helps you visualize what you want to accomplish"

Lumas didn't pay her any mind, he wasn't going to sit there and yell out his spells… something deep inside him refused…

"Riveria?"

"Hmm?"

"Can I go into the dungeon?"

"Your free to come and go as long as your back before nightfall, you don't need permission"

Awkward rubbing the back of his head Lumas spoke

"Umm… I don't know where it is…"

'Ofcourse why didn't I think of that' with a facepalm Riveria sighed "I'll fetch someone to take you feel free to roam around just try not to get lost in the manor"

Lumas nodded his head as he made his way towards the weapons laid out in the training ground, there were all of relatively low quality and a majority of the bladed weapons were dull but after a few minutes Lumas was swinging around a short sword feeling the weight in his hands there was much he could say about this blade but the easiest way to put it is… Horrible… there were small hairline imperfections running through the blade, a small curve in the blade shifting the center of balance, the grip rolled in his hand… the more he swung the blade the more he was disgusted by it, but he didn't stop he felt like he needed to understand how bad a blade could be

He didn't notice a certain stoic faced maiden watching him from the side, as for the maiden she felt a nudge looking to her side she saw Riveria

"He's definitely inexperienced…"

Ais returned her gaze to the boy before shaking her head

"You see something I don't?"

Ais stood silent for a minute

"Finding imperfections"

Riveria snapped her head to Lumas, curious she narrowed her eyes watching him closely but no matter how hard she focused she couldn't see what Ais was talking about

"I'm not seeing-"

Ais shook her head softly speaking

"Swordsman skill… Except he's using the blacksmith skill to circumvent it…"

As realization his Riveria she just let out a long 'oohhh' before falling into thought

"Hmm... Riveria?"

Riveria was dragged out of her thoughts at the soft voice only to be met with Ais' golden orbs

"...you were thinking for a long time again…"

Seeing the nearly imperceptible pout on her face Riveria let a rare soft smile appear as she spoke

"Sorry"

Seeing Ais instantly nod with a small smile Riveria could only shake her head

"You wanted to take him into the dungeon, or do you plan to watch a little longer"

Ais just sat on the grass muttering

"Watch…"

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

Loki was currently roaming the halls trying to find her 'Aisu' usually she could be found in the canteen when she isn't in the dungeon but Loki couldn't find her anywhere… all she wanted to do was get a handful but yet she couldn't find her favorite body pillow… Although she hits back it only makes it all the more fun when she manages to get a grip on the heavenly softness that Ais could provide

With a smirk on her face as she thought about Ais' hidden curves, as she was thinking about what she was going to do to Ais she saw Riveria coming from the training grounds

"Ooohh~, Riveria~"

Riveria turned her head to find her Goddess running towards her

"Hmm? What's the matter Loki?"

"My Aisu… Where is she?"

Narrowing her eyes Riveria asked

"Why? Dont tell me you want to feel her up, you know how that will end"

Sticking out her chest with all the seriousness she could conjure Loki's finger in Riveria's face

"Just you wait, When I get a handful I won't even tell you how wonderful it was"

Suppressing a chuckle while rubbing her temples Riveria spoke

"She's watching Lumas at one of the training grounds-"

"WHAAAT HES TRYING TO STEAL MY AISU… THAT UNGRATEFUL, WOMEN STEALING,...."

Yelling as she ran off throwing various curses around like she wasn't a goddess Riveria could only watch as she prayed for her goddess
