Inside the Orario
At the [Twilight Manor] gathers the executive of Loki and herself.
The trio---Loki, Gareth, and Riveria, look towards the smallest of them all, the pallum. Their captain, Finn Deimne as he gathers them to tell something.
"Finn, are you worried about those two?" Gareth questioned.
"No, not really. I don't know if Bete can restrain himself though. Riveria, you worried about Ais, do you?"
"Of course! For an 11 year old child outside the Orario, I can't help but to worry!"
" "Nanny indeed!" " Consecutively said so by Gareth and Loki. Even though Loki is worried about Ais' safety, she didn't doubt Finn's decision. Yes, it was Finn's decision for having those two as the representatives of Loki Familia.
"Forget it. I know you have the reason not to lead their team even though you can take it yourself" Riveria questioned the pallum.
Whilst made the pallum smile and nodded. "Well, if what Loki said is correct---which is from Astraea's words. 'He' is far above than what we can see him. Honestly, this is only the second time I saw him but he's very different compare to last time. As if I know him for so long, yet subtly distant"
"Heh, what? You found your soulmate? Hah, gay~" Loki sneers but Finn raised his spear and pound its handle into her head and chided: "I'm sure not only me, but you too Loki and you two"
"Y-yeah? I felt the tiny bit of my arcanum eminating from him. Juuuuuust a little, suuuuuper little~" Loki scratch her head whose turned in red and gesture her index and thumb finger altogether: 'little' it says. The two also nodded and confirming.
"Laventeinn" From his words, all of them as if showered by the bucket of ice, realize what he meant. He followed: "That's how I felt when looking at the current him right now compare to last time"
"Finn, I know its not me to say this, but isn't that too early of an assumption?"
"Yes indeed it is too early but there's something within me, telling. He had some connection of what happen to Laventeinn and his death"
"The way Laventeinn died is horrifying indeed. I don't even imagine how can a body turned out to be like that!" Riveria noted with her hands trembling.
"Then tell us, is he an enemy?" Loki seriously asks.
Finn shake his head and at the same time: "I don't know. I don't really know. I was hoping, that Ais can decrypt some mystery out of him"
"Eh? Ais did? The little girl?" Gareth is surprised.
"My Ais?" Loki asks again.
"She clearly told me the last time" So Finn tell them so, "That she met Laventeinn"
" "Ehhhhhh???????" "
"Really!?"
"Oops sorry, it's not that exactly, ha ha ha" Finn scratches the back of his head and re-corrected: "She said 'I thought I met Laventeinn-san', yeah, that's what she said"
"And? When is that?"
"At the adventurer guild. The same day when Agwin successfully gained his falna"
"That's only your assumptions then? Too farfetch and too bland"
"Then adding what I mentioned just now, *sigh* but that is also contradicts my deduction so I don't know anymore" Finn is hopeless. He had a lot of assumption but all of them were blown away by one variable at the same time.
"Yes, a foolproof. . .if he just become an adventurer by then, there's no way he can assassinate Laventeinn during our fight with Qilin which is before he become an adventurer. Not only that, that was also in the deep floors. There's no way a single person could do that alone---much less a falna-less, unless?" Riveria as explaining didn't try to continue her hunch, but Gareth was...
"----he is a part of this Evilus, lurking from behind"
Shiiiiiii------
They all let out a cold air and look towards Finn again. Remembering that Ais is with an Evilus(?) right now.
"This is why, I don't know. But looking at his familia, they seemed to trust a piece of him. Other than those mentioned just now, outside is all but normal. Even Astraea herself is normal---rather, she fond of her child too much and so much" Finn explained and thereafter exhaled deeply as his aura, changed into hostility...
"But if he really is an enemy, then I'll promise that it was me who will dispose of him" So he claimed.
But there's also Ais who he trusted. She too has her own instinct that 'he' isn't aligned to Evilus.
Finn is kinda serious but Riveria's words snapped him back to his reality "Then when Ais became his next target, it was I who will disposed of that thing hanging between your tights!" As her eyes sparkled of anger.
Not just Finn, but Gareth and even Loki flinch their body. Muttering: "Mommy is scary!"
And after it all settles down, Loki who rested her butt with hands from each side, leans her back. "I guess, its my time to talk to 'her' one on one"
"Right now?"
"Yeah right now, see yah babies! I'll come back with the good answer. Either her justice has an 'evil' or not" As she stands up and wave back her hands, exiting from the executive room.
"Loki, she really is desperate" Gareth commented.
"Hmmm, who won't. I just said it the last time but the death of Laventeinn is a big impact for the growth of our Familia. For him to be with us for only two years is---"
" "*sigh*" " the three of them simultaneously exhaled deeply. Exhausted and lamenting.

Not far from the [Twilight Manor], Loki arrived in an alleyway. Her members wanted to accompanied her but she decline their offer, so this time she is alone walking in this area. And suddenly----
Tears slowly drizzled. Her eyes are clouded with steam as she stopped her track.
The feeling of losing a child she fond of. Losing the person she and Finn trusted the most.
She remembers all of her conversation with Laventeinn as her tears didn't seemed to stop.
Him teases her and her hammering his head from it. Since she founded the Loki familia, it was only Laventeinn who saw her in different light. Like a sister, like a mother and even like a lover. He gave her all of his attention not just for his familia but also Loki who he looked up the most.
The only person who always made her sigh in happiness with his presence alone is now gone. To an unknown where even she doesn't know of.
"How can I start on finding you if I don't know where your soul was!?" She couldn't help but hammer the wall with her fist and wail.
It is a common occurence for a familia member to die, after all, that is an infinite cycle of life. As there is that was called, the cycle of reincarnation. The promise land where those who seek adventure gathers. So no matter how many eons she wait. She can without a doubt will find him.
But. . .but. . .Loki. She don't know, she don't have any idea. If Laventeinn's soul is indeed ascend towards the heaven.
So she need an answer. An answer that she wanted to know ever since. An answer from her!
So that she could decide if 'she' and her 'familia' is an enemy that should be eliminated!
