A duel "1"

It was already evening that day , the sun started disappearing behind the autumn clouds at the horizon on the west and the darkness veil approaching from the east . Only a scenery of grey blue and orange still linger in the sky of Orario. Its been few months since the incidents that happened in the dungeon. While some familias gained privileges as a result of the incident , others were punished .that was the case for Freya familia members , now they took over guarding orario and the Knosos entry points from ganesha familia. The absence of one of the major exploration familias left a huge gap in the dungeon , that resulted in an overload of work for others . Such as the case for Loki familia. In their mansion busy adventurers of the familia were seen coming in and out. Usually you see that when they only have an expedition but now it became a daily occurrence. Lefiya walked in a party of 5 including herself with Raoul and few other adventurers , they were on their way to finish a commission sent by the guild

Lefiya sighed :" this is the 4 th commission this week , those guild staff wants to get us killed from overworking!" she was upset not because she was tired , but because she couldn't spent her time with a certain person in her familia

Aiz never talked much with anyone after she cried on bell's grave that day , she kept training , dinning , and going with Finn's party if asked , but aside from that she stayed in her room alone. Refusing any offer from other members even Loki and Reviria , in her free time ,Her behaviour made many people around worried , Loki tried to cheer her up , but nearly got a free ticket for heaven .

So Finn and Reviria's suggested they should leave her to her own , at least for now .They said that she ll go out on her own , when her mind is settled up. But Lefiya was always bothered by the hollow look her friend had whenever she saw ,she couldn't help but keep thinking about it.

Another girl in the party suggested :" how about we try that new sandwishes stall on our way to the dungeon, that old man makes a very delicious Shawarma!"

The other demi human agreed:" true , I ve tried that one before , and it was incredible and that guy is really funny with girls .Anyway we should really take some with us , but we need to hurry up before rush hour "

Lefiya unconsciously quicken her steps as she arrived the mansion gate and then " ouch!" she looked up and saw another green haired elf looking back at her , she had a sharp eyes and a wooden sword and a green cap covering her back.

" keep your eyes on the road when you walk"

Lefiya was embarrassed and hurried to bow" I am really sorry"

Raoul walked to them :" please forgive her miss , she just has many things on her mind with our busy schedule "

" its alright" the elf replied

Raoul was curious , there was not many adventurers who lived nearby except for his familia ,and he was sure she wasn't in their familia

Roual :" excuse me miss , may I know where are you going now ?"

" I am going to challenge someone to a duel , is this enough as a reply to you ?"

Raoul eyes widened , a challenge at this time ? while everyone is busy? " can I know who are you challenging?"

" Loki familia member , Aiz Wallenstein , i have some unfished business that we need to settle , now you could step aside , I need to move on"

"Aiz!" lefiya screamed

" what ?!" and so did the other 3

Raoul wanted to calm things down a little bit , he knew more than anyone what Aiz condition is right now. " but she is not in a good condition right now , if you can ..."

Ryu narrowed her eyes to him " I will not leave until I have my duel with her . I already know she has fully recovered . besides , I have the guild permission to have this duel and they ve informed your goddess about this "

Raoul face was a mix of shock and surprise . this elf in front of him had already prepared everything. He started already feeling anxious about whats gonna happen. The commotion started gathering more members of Loki famila since they were just few feet away from their mansion gate.

" yahoo !Raoul , Lefiya ! you setting out on another commission already ?" a cheerful voice came from the other side of the road , as two amazons walked with their weapons behind their back , Tioné and tiona returned after finishing their scouting too.

As they closed the distance , Tiona looked at Ryu and asked :" and you are ? you look familiar ? have we met before ?"

Ryu:" no , I don't think so"

Tiona narrowed her eyes to Ryu , she was smelling something interesting from this elf , but she haven't find out what was it yet.

Tiona :" So Raoul ? who is this ? a friend ?"

Raoul started swetting already :" Actually .."

Ryu spoke :" I am here to challenge Aiz Wallenstein , please bring her out , here is the the paperwork from the guild "

Tioné whisled while the others who stopped to look at the commotion started whispered and murmuring among themselves

Tiona looked at her and grinned :" oh now I remember you! You are that elf from the war games ! "

Ryu smiled back:" I am just a maid from Hestia familia " as she smiled back towards the amazon and sparks of challenge started exploding between them

Finally after a long deadly silence Tiona spoke :" fine , I ll bring her out , follow Tione she will lead you to the backyard training ground "

"why me! Sister send someone else , I want to grab somefood to watch the show!" tione retorted

Tiona :" I ll get you somesnacks with me , everyone probably going to watch this "

Soon the news started a huge commotion at the loki familia mansion. They are finally gonna see some entertainment aside from their daily routine in the dungeon . Some hurried to get places close to the show , while others rushed to inform others or grab some snacks.

Tiona walked in the mansion in the direction of Aiz room with a huge grin on her face " interesting , I hope you can wake up our princess , Elf!"
