3rd pov

Furn finishes off Gelios, his power was indeed too much for Furn but for a brief moment he felt power crash into him. He knew that whatever it was, it would be his final assault to kill Gelios. Maybe it was his Sharingan evolving or maybe it was whatever Kurama did. 

Either way, this power was enough, but it did strain him to the point that he felt every atom in his being scream to stop and rest. But Furn refused to do so. His rage, his guilt, and his passion to save what he now considers his family MUST be protected at all costs. 

Furn fell to his knees. Whatever power he felt is now gone. "Owadeda..."

Rudeus rushes to his twin. "Furn! Wha- how... No, that doesn't matter right now. Are you alright?"

Spitting a bit of blood, Furn lightly punches Rudeus. "You baka. Look at me. Do I look fine?" 

"Ah... Maybe???" Rudeus looked at Furn and found no cuts, bruises, or blood on Furn. Or at least in any visible places that Rudeus could glance on. 

With a sigh, Furn tried to stand up but his legs sent a sharp pain all over his body. "Shimata..." Furn couldn't heal in time to check on Aisha to see if she is okay back at the inn. The only other person who can or at least will is Kurama. 

"Man... All because I didn't die during the mana explosion that those bastard are on to me." Muttered Furn. Whatever needed to happen during that event, didn't happen. Would that be why Hades is soo obsessed with killing him? Is his life too much of an anomaly in this world? 

Too many questions, and too few answers. Maybe once he meets with Hades he'll get his answer. After all, he promised Kyosei to go to the Underworld. But that raises another question, how in the hell does he go to the Underworld?  Does he have to die? Or find some portal there? 

Again too many questions, and too few answers. 

"Ru. Grab Masamune and slash it in the air, it should have enough divinity to cast one last portal." Furn ordered Rudeus. "It doesn't matter how you slash it. It'll do the job."

"R-right..." Rudeus went to grab Furn's long katana that is next to him. Grabbing it Rudeus felt a power, power he wanted or at least could wield. Mentally slapping himself, Rudeus stood up and slashed the sword in the air. 

*zmmmmm*

*whooosh*

*zmmmmm*

"Woah! That. That was awesome!" Rudeus saw the portal manifest into reality. Perhaps when Furn first used that, he must've felt the same way. 

"Where will it lead us?" A voice questioned. 

"Lilia... It will lead you to Aisha." Furn answered. "I think it's only appropriate to have you go first and your daughter." A smile formed on Furn's face.

"Woah! You can smile?!?!" Rudeus felt like he has gone through too many events in just a couple of minutes! The hell is going on?!

"I'm human you pizza lover." Furn insult.

It's been a couple of days since the battle of Gelios and Furn. Many stories were accounted by the group -- Eris, Rudeus, Furn, and Ruijerd -- of the battles they fought. Eris went first, insisting that hers can't be beaten!

"Okay! So I was saving the families of the guards of this place. Got them to a safe place but some motherfucker went to alert one of the guards and Estalle had to stay back to deal with them. Then after assuring their safety, I went back to see Estalle beat and some guy... uhhh... I forgot his name, but! I came to the rescue and... almost dead... but! I did come back as a badass!" 

Everyone was in awe except for Kurama who was pissed that some hurt Steak'n'fries! But at least Eris killed the person so his rage lowed. 

Ruijerd's, Furn's, and Rudeus's are all connected to each other's story which in hindsight is far more brutal than what Eris had to go through. Everyone in that tale feared for their lives. Everyone was helpless but then Furn got the upper hand and rekted the opponent.

"0_0... Maybe I shouldn't have boasted my story..." 

"It's okay Eris. We all know how prideful you are in your achievements." Furn commented.

"///_////" 

"Mina! We're almost leaving!" A childlike voice yelled. 

"Well looks like we should say goodbye." Redeus comments. Getting up he stretches and heads to the carriage that Lilia and Aisha are leaving in. 

"Guess I'll join him. You guys coming?" Furn stands up and turns to his companions. Both Eris and Ruijerd nodded a 'no'. 

"Alright. We'll come right back."

As Furn follows Rudeus, he sees him and Lilia already talking with her giving Rudeus a box. He briefly opens it and immediately closes it. 

Rudeus looks at Lilia with fear and shock. "H-how did... If brother finds o-" 

Furn hearing what Rudeus said before cutting him off and scarring him pats his shoulder. "What will I find?" 

Rudeus startled, made unpredictable movements with his arms to try and hide what Lilia gave him. "Nothing! It's nothing. It's... It's a late birthday gift" 

"Then I can see what it is right?" Furn asked.

"NO!-- I mean, you can't it's something for me so... you can look at your own," Rudeus answered.

Furn turned to Lilia and points at the Rudeus. "Is what he saying true?" 

"Yes, Furn-sama." 

"You're not lying right?" 

"Of course not, Furn-sama. In fact, I have a birthday gift for you too." 

"Ho?" 

"It's from Sylphiette-sama." Lilia took out a pendant, it looks too realistic to Furn's 3 comma Sharingan. But how would she know of his eyes? Could it be... she saw his fight with Paul to send him and Rudeus to Eris?

"Uhm... Thanks. I-it's beautiful(?)". Furn accepted the pendant but was weirded out by the details, it is too realistic. "Then this is goodbye till we meet again?" 

"Hai. I don't know where but I will do anything to keep Aisha out of harm's way." Lilia answered.

In a couple of moments, Lilia and her daughter were ready to depart. Riding to the road, Aisha waved at the group and shouted for them to hear: "Goodbye! Let's see each other again someday!  Onii-chan!"

Their mental reaction:
