Remnant of the past

It was a peaceful evening in Orario ,the streets were mostly empty. Inside a certain 2 stories familia mansion , Gregory wearing an apron that his deity was using was seeing cooking a certain dish that his deity left unfinished

Gregory :" emm , it needs more salt , who knew our good for nothing deity was a chef , I think we need to let him cook more often for us "

Niel :" We ll end up suffocated from the excessive spices if he started cooking more of whatever is that " while pointing to the food on the fire

Gregory :" you are right , I think we can manage to adjust his weird recipe " and then he tasted the soup again ." oh its so delicious and spicy !"

Niel and the other new familia member looked at Gregory who was already gone in weird dreams after tasting the food. For some reason they still thought it will be a bad idea.

Up side on the 2 nd floor , Enoch finished reporting what happened to their mission and their encounter . Ashema listen intently to what Enoch talked about and he wanted to confirm multiple times whether the drawing Enoch brought was trully the one he spotted on the guy who helped them. Ashema sighed while scratching his head :" are you sure this is what you ve seen ?"

Enoch reotred :" for the 15 th time , I am 100% sure I ve got enough time to look at the back of that guy"

Ashema sighed again ;" ahhh , I guessed there is nothing we can do about it , how many people saw it ?"

Enoch :" gregory and the others didn't notice much , they were busy holding back the wormwells when things became bad , I checked with them , they don't know "

Ashema :" good , this drawing will stay with me , and you will never , ever speak about it to anyone "

Enoch eyes forrowed :" why ?whats this all about ?"

Ashema :" look , you haven't been in Orario for that long Enoch , well you were here when Evilus attacked but that's all of it , what I am talking about is the time when Zues and Hera familia were defeated , that symbol on the robe of the guy who helped you , that Zues familia Emblem , who ever was that guy , he is a remnant of it"

Enoch eyes widened :" Zues familia ? but everyone said they were dead ?"

Ashema:" that's what gods are telling the citizens , actually 7 years ago , some of the attackers on Orario were Alifia and Zald. they were eventually defeated , but the guild and the gods decided to keep it a secret from everyone else , sigh ,who would ve thought that another remnant is still alive and now running in the dungeon " and he stood up and walked out of the room

" where are you going ?" Enoch asked

Ashema :" this matter is bigger than us Enoch , we need to inform the right people about this , and also postpone any activities of the familia , at least not below the 18 th floor"

And he walked out . Ashema was not a god who enjoyed raising familia and looking after mortals like the others , he was a lazy one , liked drinking and cooking all time , but he needs money for that , that's why he decided to make a familia , however as time went by he made friends with his familia members and now he had an issue bigger than what they could take. So he decided to step in.

Ashema sighed :" I am sighing a lot today , I guess it cant be helped"

He passed the gates and walked into a certain giant mansion, an emblem of a clown above the front door. He was in Loki familia mansion and he was going to meet an old acquaintance that he didn't like much

Loki opened the door , her study room was giant , with many sofas around .Riveria was sitting on one of them drinking her favorite tea , while Enoch was facing her. The look on his face was telling Loki that he didn't really liked it here

:" Yo Ashema! What brings you here at this hour ? don't tell me you went bankrupt and now asking for money ? " loki joked around

Ashema sighed :" am not that pathetic , and nice to meet you again Loki "

Loki jumped forward :" oh please don't get upset , you really still holding grudges against me from heaven ?"

Ashema turned his head away from :" sit down , I didn't come here to joke around, I have something really serious to talk about !"

Loki noticed that his mood was different than the one who she used to know , anything was he going talking about must be important , she turned to Riveria , but Ashema cutted her :" she can stay , as matter of fact , people will probably start noticing soon too "

Loki turned to Ashema :" what are you talking about ?"

Ashema brought the drawing that Enoch made , instantly Riveria and Loki eyes locked in it , Recognizing what it was

Riveria :" where did you find that ?"

Ashema :" I didn't , my familia captain was saved from barbarians on 33 floor , the guy who did it was wearing a robe with that on its back , and he was using lightning magic "

Loki :" A Zeus familia remnant ? "

Riveria soon remember the last time she was facing one of those familias members " Alfia " she was so strong and talented that it was terrifying , but her illness took more of her. She tried to calm down her breaths and focus on the discussion

Riveria asked :" what did he looked like ? any specific characteristics ?"

Ashema shacked his head in denial :" nothing of sort, he was covered by the robe all the time ,and my familia members were busy saving themselves , they didn't notice his presence until he finished casting his magic , and he disappeared just after he took all the monster crystals "

Loki sighed :" and I thought that we ve already passed that page " she turned to Riveria and nodded , the elf walked out of the room

Now only Loki and Ashema were left alone :" so what you gonna do Ashema ? are you going to tell Freya too ?"

For a moment , mentioning Freya made Enoch back sweat , He gulped :" no , I am not that stupid "

Loki :" so how many people know about this ?"

Ashema :" Only Enoch and me , you are the first one I informed you , Enoch reported the matter to the guil but he kept that part from them , I think he made the right choice "

Loki :" indeed , that kid has talents for sure , I don't really mind if you tell other gods , like you said its only a matter of time before our mysterious guy gets famous , but the problem is that his intentions are unknown , we cant just assume he is friendly because he saved your familia , maybe he was using them as a bait"

Ashema :" whatever , this thing is not something I would put my familia into "

Riveria retuned with a pouch in her hand , from the look of it contained a huge amount of money. She putted it on the table

Loki :" thank you for the information Ashema , it was also nice to see you again "

Ashema nodded back and looked at the money :" I think I might take a vacation with my familia somewhere "

Loki smiled :" well that's a good idea , send me some postcards while you are at it!"

Ashema picked the money and walked , but before he arrived to the door he turn his face :" tell your familia to be careful , and you too Loki"

Loki :" same for you Ashema " while waving from behind the sofa
