Eina rushed to Roymond. Her boss who was given the nick name the guild pig for various reasons such as throwing his weight around as being the head of the guild. And his abuse of his power not problematic to any one. Can be seen by him outside of work gorging himself on various luxuries such as food, gambling, as well as other things he finds pleasure. Yet at the same time keeping up his image. Eina: "excuse me sir this is for you." She said handing over the letter. The letter was in an envelope with a platinum shine that alone radiated a faint magic aura. Curiously looking the envelope over he noticed the emblem on the front. Eyes wide he ran straight towards  Oranus who resided in the hall of prayers. Roymond recognized the emblem from a book in his office depicting the history of Orario. This emblem however was found in there stating on how the now thriving town relied on their intellect and how they also created the era of magic stone based items. Roymond: "lord Oranus! There's an urgent matter that needs your attention!"he said out of breath with his head bowed. He then presented the letter. Oranus already recognized the letter as something of a magic item in whichgods can only open. As soon as he got a closer look at the letter in the dark room that was only lit by torches he finally made out the emblem. He was shocked at first but then smiled Oranus:"leave me be there is no threat here." He said shooing Roymond away. Oranus's thoughts: 'so the crannel's are back eh? Judging by the envelope i bet it's nothing harmful such as a declaration of war, but what?' Oranus opened the envelope and began reading.

Dear lord Oranus
My name is Bell cranell leader of Hestia familia. As you well know of us crannels than this shouldn't be to hard to understand. I demand that you keep our status's secret from the public eye. For you see I have already leveled up to 2 in only just a few days. If a god wishes to attempt a war game with me and my familia in which I am currently the only one for now. I will call for the rest of my family for help in which we have no reason to worry about as you also may know. One more thing don't force us to do mandatory expeditions like other familias. We will see this as forced labor and retaliate like we did thousands of years ago and I'm sure you don't want another repeat of that would you? So any way leave us be and we'll have no problems. The other gods/ familia's will have to learn the hard way.
to a peaceful future Bell Crannel.

With all that being said in the letter came a large amount of stress. Remembering what happened thousands of years ago. 'The great rebellion'. During the construction of Orario there were many who helped in the construction of Orario, but the main people who helped build were the cranels. At first they were seen as nothing more than ordinary labor workers. Yet as time passed people began to notice how effortless they seemed to be working doing their quota and not even being exhausted. Soon other workers took not of this and decided to pile their work onto them stating that they work just as hard and should be able to relax as much as they do.this caught even more attention seeing as the leaders of the town project saw the amount of work those few few men were doing that would tack several men weeks. The leaders of the project automatically fired the other workers for their lack of labor they were doing due to the fact that their work was done by the crannel's and for them to be getting paid for doing nothing. Soon the cranels were the only ones on the job. With their work putting them years ahead they decided to give the crannels a six month break. During that time the foundation for the lid of the dungeon was made. Not contracted to gods one man went in and was amazed at what he found. Small stones containing mana. This began to him studying the stone and creating the first magic item. Oranus who was the keeper of the dungeon found out and learned of his study's. Finding that they could be Beneficial he put them to work  on the magic items creating them day and night non stop to fund the city's cost of prouction. One day the crannel's came up with an idea. They suggested that they put street lamps through the city powered by the magic stones. The leaders believed that it would allow them to construct building through the night as well. Little did they know that the crannel's magic stone street lamps were actually in fact bombs that were going to be detonated remotely. As soon as the lamps were set throughout the city they began there escape by blowing up all of what they created and leaving in the confusion.they all decided to flee together to a far remote place where no one could ever take advantage of them again.

This was Orario's first great tragedy. The same thing always happened when a crannel was being forced into labor throughout history. Not wanting a repeat of that event he decided to agree to any terms the crannel's made.

Nightfall came and bell received a call from his communicator. Bell: "hello?" Elaine: "hey bell its me Elaine I wanted to thank you again for that gift. From what you told me about how you imbued magic in it was amazing! By the way Soul's birthday is tomorrow making him fourteen and that means he's allowed to go to Orario same as you! Do you think you can put him in your familia I trust in your judgement for picking the right God to be with please!!!" She asked begging for him to say yes. Bell smiled on the other end. Bell: "yeah sure I'll make sure he finds his way here in the familia." Elaine: "oh! thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!" She said so happy knowing that her son is in good hands. Elaine: he'll be there tomorrow any place were you can meet?" She asked not wanting him to get lost in the city. Bell: "Babel tower it's literally the only thing you can't miss in town." Elaine: "Got it I'll tell him that. So what's your god's name?" She asked curios as to who caught bell's eye as someone qualified to be his God. Bell: "Her name is Hestia. When we met I found her in an accident at a food stand where she worked. I had her agree to take me on as a familia member. I'm the only one in her familia. For now that is. She used to live in a broken down church, but I fixed it with my magic making it a proper familia home." He said remembering the events that transpired that day. Bell okay tell him to be at the tower by ten a.m." Elaine: "okay I'll tell him bye!" With that being said they ended their call. Bell couldn't help but grin his cousin who he hadn't seen for a while is coming to Orario!  What made him even more excited was that he wanted to be in his familia. He decided to go to bed early cooking dinner for Hestia and leaving it in the fridge for her when she got home. The next day came and bell was already off waiting at the guild an hour early. During the passing time a small girl ran into him tripping and falling to the ground. Three large men followed. "Thug#1: that girl hand her over!" I look back and see that she's been beaten and treated poorly for who knows how long. Bell: "why should I?" The second man losing his patience grabbed bell by the collar. Thug#2: "if you don't then we'll deal with you as well. Now step aside!" Bell just smiled and performed a round house kick to the sending him flying towards the nearest building which was far across the street. The other two men grabbed their weapons and began to attack. Bell deciding to make a spectacle decided to go easy on the two by attacking with a simple straight forward gut punch and kneeing the other in the face leaving them conscious for what he planned to do next. He then grabbed one of their weapons and using his magic. He began to use it to weaken the material. Bell the grabbed both ends and forced it to shatter. Seeing this the men pulled themselves up and ran with their tails between their legs. Bell turned to look for the girl but couldn't find her. Bell's thoughts:'must have scared her off too by mistake.'
Soul: "hey bell long time no see how've you been!" Bell immediately turned around to see his cousin Soul. Bell "great as always how about you Birthday boy!" He said jokingly. Bell noticed that he was in a suit. His usual attire. Bell: "did you come into town dressed like that?" Soul: "yeah why? Is that bad?" Bell: not sure the closest town near Orario is melen and that's a bit away for some one to go walking in a suit if they believe you came from there that is. You didn't get any odd looks from the guards?" Soul: "nah he just looked board out of his mind. Bell: "I see." Soul: "Well enough of this why don't you introduce me to your goddess. Her name is Hestia right?" Bell: "yeah let's go meet her." He said heading to a food stand she worked at.

Soul: "hey bell are we bringing her lunch or something or did you skip out on breakfast?" Soul said waiting in line to order there food. Bell just smiled at his remark not speaking till it was their turn to order. Hestia: "hello how may I help you today!" She said not realizing who was ordering. Bell: "hello goddess this is my cousin soul he wants to join the familia today."Hestia looked up at him easily seeing the family resemblance. Hestia: "Great I'll see you when wi get out from work!" She said happy to have another member in the familia. Soul couldn't help but notice her figure. A Short stature with a large chest. Bell and soul headed to the familia home. On their way there. Soul said jokingly. Soul: "is it me or does it appear that all crannel's love small women?" He chuckled. Bell: "shut up. I'm not in love with anyone at the moment." He said annoyed. Finally in front of their home. Bell: " we're here." He said heading straight towards the door. Soul took one look at it and thought to himself. Souls thought: 'his home is a house built in a hill?' As soon as he entered he was amazed at the detail in the inside. The place looked like it belonged in a high class estate. Which he knew seeing as he lived in one. Soul: "how in the world did you find a place like this?" he said in amazement. Bell: "find it? I built it. I used alchemy That dad taught me." Soul: " so where's my room?" He asked wondering where he could put his stuff. Bell: "pick a room down stairs that doesn't have anything in it." Soul picked the one next to bell's and settled in.
