What is a hero?

Finn Deimne, had asked himself many times. The single question had been stuck in his mind ever since he joined the Loki familia. He had read the stories of Heros that many inscribed and passed down, from the Age of Heros to now. One of the many Heros as such was the hero Argonaut. A tale of a boy who wanted to be a hero, as such he had become one.

Argonaut didn't do it for fame, money or to be strong. He did it because he desired to protect the masses.

Why did he want to be a hero? He sought his answer to be a man-made hero of the weakest race, prums.

And so when their newest member showed up, his thumb was throbbing. It still throbbed, making him unable to shave off the feeling that something was up with him.

It ties in to the fact that they saw a snowman, larger than Ottar, The King, dwarfed in comparison. He could remember how it looked. It had a smile on it's face, accompanied with regal and royal robes fit for a king. King of Ice.

The name, King Frost, was the name escribed by the new member. Perhaps he is mistaking this King Frost as a familiar?

No. It wasn't. It was something more dangerous, if it had swallowed Riveria's personal spell, Wynn Fimbulvetr.

And so, he ordered to set up a private meeting between the executives, his Goddess and him.

...

"Are you interested in Hero stories, Blue-kun?" Both Amazonesses spoke in sync, which kind of made him chuckle.

"Blue-kun...?" He questioned. "Your hair, it's a natural blue right? That's why we call you Blue-kun. So, do you like hero stories?"

He liked them, to an extent. Of course, he had those same Heros in his soul after all. Cu Chulainn, Siegfried, Scathach, he could go on, but alas he needed to answer.

"I do." "Neat! I hope you don't mind if we can chat about hero stories from time to time." Tiona gave him a smile, eyes shining bright as if enticing him to agree. Amazons are quite the boisterous bunch are they? Tione looked at him in horror as if he made a mistake. Kind of.

"Sure." What he didn't expect was that she was cunning as well. "Sweet! It'll be a date!" He had almost tripped on air, before he caught himself. "...When?"

Tiona sported pink cheeks before bashfullying twirling her finger around her short locks of hair. Tione simply stared at her sister in shock.

"Tommorow...if you'd like." He nodded. They were approached by the wolf kin, Beth Loga. "Oi, we are needed, you too Blue." The wolf kin marched on back while they followed him.

...

When they walked in, he saw an oval table with folders sprawled out, a board with plans etched on about an expedition being delayed.

Loki perked up when she saw him, quickly putting whatever she was drinking away. Strange.

"There you are, let's start this meeting shall we?" Egging those who haven't sat down yet, she motioned for him to stand beside her. Weird. He thought. He did so seeing as there were no seats available.

"Why did you call a meeting, Finn?" "My thumb has been aching for the past 3 days. As you all have seen throughout those days, it would not stop shaking or tingling no matter how much I want it to stop. I believe it gets more uncomfortable when I am near our member who isn't sitting."

All eyes were on him. What did he do? "It isn't a bad premonition. It feels more...assuring if we know what that summon was." Finn spoke.

"If it'll stop it from shaking, I'll tell you." They agreed. He shared a sad smile towards his Goddess. "Persona."

"Persona...and pray what tell is this Persona?" Raul, a commander in the making, he lead the lower leveled familia members.

"Personification given thought, resolution of the mind given form." He sounded astute, the puzzled faces greatly bemused him.

"Explain, please." Alicia Forestlight, an elf who accompanied Riveria and Lefiya.

"An example then. A woman, she is a mother to her children, a wife to her husband, a child to her own mother, a worker to her boss, a friend to one she cherishes." They were now more confused.

He twitched before turning to Loki. "Is it alright?" "I can't hold you down."

He reached for his holster and showed them the Evoker. "That...metallic thing? What is so special about it?"

"Everything and nothing." He pointed towards his template, and pulled the trigger.

"Orpheus."

"I am thou
Thou arte I."

The head sprung first, metallic in making.

I am the beginning,
the middle
And the end
Of your journey.

Then the body gave form of a slender yet tough body.

I hath strung
The chords of
Your perilous journey
Once more.

Heed my name.

I am Orpheus."

It was now floating right behind him, it's harp in it's hands being strung of tunes of ol'.

"...What...?"

"I am thou...Orpheus is me, I am him. King Frost is me, I am him. Their power is my power, my power is theirs."

...

A lone figure sat in her throne made of expensive ores. She sipped her fine red wine, before crossing one of her legs over the other. Her face revealed, a beauty of no other.

This was Freya, Goddess of War, Beauty, and Fertility.

She sighed seeing at all the souls passing by, each with same old glow, black, red, green, blue.

Perhaps her Odr wasn't born yet. What a shame...

And then she stopped suddenly. Her Arcanum shaking.

There.

She spotted two souls. One so white and bright, the other...mixed.

Perhaps she was mistaken. Maybe her Odr was just hiding from her.

She smiled to herself. Time to make some plans.

She laughed to herself.

...

"You mean to tell us, you have more of those Personas you can summon?!" The yelling wasn't necessary, his eardrums hurt.

"Yes."

Aiz wanted to see more. "Tommorow, dungeon." Now that was rude, he already had plans for Tiona. "Can't."

"Can't or won't?"

How thoughtful.

And done.

How did you guys and gals like this chapter that sprung out of nowhere?

Don't worry, you'll get to see more Bell next time. The story focuses on both sides. So, it's back and forth. Yay.

Bye bye.

Baka.
