"Hrown left arrown all the way back, and he couldn’t be happier
After Dorian ran into Anabella, or Bella as she went by, in the library, he had had a rather aard conversation with her She’d been going back to retrieve soht was near-fatally injured up and walking
Their conversation had been soht back to it
"How are you? We found you passed out in the depths of Blizzaria, near death!&8221; Her voice had been full of concern
Dorian didn’t bat an eye at her tone Maybe she was being real with hiain
‘Kill her’ The aged voice in his head interjected, wavering into his thoughts
‘Shut up’ He
"U at him, noith a confused expression on her face
"Ah, sorry&8221; Dorian held out his hand, giving her a s auze-wrapped baby-hand
"Oh, right&8221; Dorian set down the book he was holding and held out his right hand instead She shook it
"I’m Anabella, but you can call me Bella&8221;
They shook hands
They talked for a few minutes Bella didn’t try to pry, and only asked questions about his health Dorian respondedquestions of who she was and where they were
He was currently residing in a large mansion near the center of Excelsior Thismember of the Golden Moon Mercenary Alliance
Huldon was a foric Specifically, in the research of Luck Magic, a derivation of Fate Magic, and in studying the Law of Luck
Both things that were discovered by two of the greatest o
The geniuses that discovered the of the Borrel Autarchy, and Yukeli Shorn, a genius o, after virtually wiping out the entire Demon Race Both Heroes of the Third Great Deic And, according to Ausra, she was a Lord Class Wizard stuck in the middle of Lord Class
"And so, I’d like to make the offer, if you’ve recovered sufficiently, for you to join us in an expedition to Magmor, to hunt for the Ascension Ruins! Your constitution is an extre my Lucky State If you coreatly increased!&8221; Bella’s voice was full of excitement,
"I would never ask this of you for no reward, however,&8221; She continued,
"The danger ould be in, even with my Luck, would be very real Therefore, you will receive a full third of everything our expedition finds, in addition to a prepayment now of a rare Natural Treasure, a Fire-Aspected Golden Leaf&8221; She gave clear and fair ter her honest intentions
Apparently, Bella’s father Huldon had discovered an inheritance in the Ascension Ruins ic and the Law of Luck Realizing the incredible potential Luck Magic held, Huldon did everything he could to study it
His luck caed to reach the Peak of the Lord Class, beco a respected Captain in the Golden Moon Mercenary Alliance
Unfortunately, his luck turned, and he was badly injured, his strength falling to the Grandhter, Bella, succeeded hi to coic, and the Law of Luck Her father had experienced a sort of baptism in the Ascension Ruins, and without that baptiser
As Dorian heard this all, his face remained emotionless
‘Is this why I ran into her? Because our Fate is connected? We are both heading for the Ascension Ruins… And her Luck Magic… it sounds a lot like hoist Fate with ht, histo feel as if his life was being guided As if his every action, fro Will to learn about the Ascension Ruins, to gaining the ht now
It was al had been planned, and he was only following that plan
It was incredibly unnerving
"Can you giveto reed and left hiuards on him, and he was ostensibly free to leave or stay as he wished
Whether they would track him later was certainly a question, but Dorian would deal with that when he needed to
After that, Dorian had returned to his roo his arain He hadto get a better understanding of who he was and what he was doing here
He didn’t find any answers, but he renewed his deter that all of his questions would be answered there
Now, he was standing outside, in a secluded corner of the coe mansion, with several open courtyards full of trees and plants Night was upon theh a layer of clouds

‘Alright!’ Dorian licked his lips, stretching his claws It felt good to be back in a form that wasn’t a humanoid This was also his first natural Pseudo-Lord Class form Its bloodline was bound to be useful!
‘Ausra, run your ood combinations I can form now Either those with powerful Abilities, or at the Lord Class or higher’ He ordered
‘Acknowledged’ Ausra’s cool fe out in his head
