Orion pov:
"Hey you!"
A shout came from down the alley way. A group of three came running after Lili. One of them looked at me. while the other two looked up and down the street for Lili. 'Guessing this guy to be the leader of their group. Wonder if he is going to give me an excuse to kill him.'
"Hey big guy we are looking for a runt that stole our money. You seen someone about this tall and has-" cutting himself off he saw Lili poking her head out from the side of Orions leg. "There you are! Come here you little brat." As he was about to grab Lili his arm was halted by a very big and very heavy gauntlet.
"Lay a finger on that child and you will dream for death." The man adrenaline still rushing from his rage and run. Didn't have the right mind. "Oh yeah you look big but I haven't seen you around. So your probably just a level one." This struck Orion with an understandable amount of confusion. 'Do the rumors not mention how I look? Or do the soma familia have people that.. Nevermind I don't need to finish that thought.' Orion now understanding how these people are that dumb. Decided to educate them on how strong he is. "I will give you till the count of three. Before we play a game called head, shoulders, knees and toes." Orion started counting "One"
The group of idiots not knowing what hell awaits them. They charge at him with all their might. "Two" as soon as the weapons hit the armor it sounded like a cartoon to Orion. The sword snapped the man with the warhammer wobbled. The man with the dagger slightly smart aim for weak points in between the armor. Problem being there is none. No gap to push a blade through. But there was a hole in between the head and rest of the armor that he aimed for. Orion stopped it turning his head to the knife. The dagger shattered all the way to the handle.
The three men turn into little boys at this point. Staring at their weapons with shock. "Three" fear suddenly gripped their heads and as they remembered what Orion said. They turned to try and run. But as soon as the they turned they saw black.
Lilis POV:
'Why is he going through so much just to save me? Someone he sees as a kid. I have seen adventures leave children to fend for themselves. So why is he trying to help me? What does he want from me?' A thought hit her and she was disgusted. 'Is he like those people? I have to run.' As she was about to run she heard him say one word then turned into a blur. "Three" with speed unseen to her she saw him appear in front of the running away men. Then suddenly all three launched to the wall of the near by building. 'Forget running I won't make it a foot without knocking out.' As she trembled she tried to calm her self hoping he wasn't like them.
He turned and walk to her kneeling down. 'Oh no what is going to do?!' Lili thought in fear. he patted her head.
Back to Orions POV:
Finishing with the three idiots I couldn't help but be a bit down. 'They didn't make it past head...haha didn't make it past head. I got to keep that for later.' Looking at Lili he went to her and knelt down. As he knelt he saw her trembling 'why is she trembling was I that scary? Nah I look like an idiot to these people doubt I looked scary. Wonder what made her scared. Oh I know what might calm her.' He gently patted her head trying to comfort her. 'This worked for my neices and nephews should work on her.'
After a few seconds of patting I stopped. 'She is not trembling any more. It worked.' He checked for injuries he saw that she had some bruises. So he took out a couple of viles and gave them to her. "Drink this it will help with the injuries. Why were you being chased by those" he then pointed to the three knocked out dummy's. "idiots? Where are your parents too? They should know where you are." While he was saying this Orion was thinking. He was scheming a way to lure Lili into his familia. He really needed her for her back pack skill. Also because he realized he is no warrior. When he rested he couldn't sense anything in his sleep.
No matter how much he tried to. He couldn't do what those anime characters and marvel characters do. This annoyed him a bit since he could die if he fell asleep. So he needed someone he could trust. He knew from the anime if he got her to care a little bit about him. He would have someone to watch his back. Also a needed food and water carrier.
He might be able to last days with out food maybe years. But that doesn't mean he gets that itchy feeling to drink. After a while his mind still used to him being human wants him to drink. Even though he doesn't need to. Back to the conversation Lili had to ask her question. "Why did you help me?" In such a disbelieving tone she asked. 'Yeah kinda figured she wouldn't believe I would help her out of the goodness of my own heart. Which I wouldn't. I need to make sure everyone gets something out of the deal. That includes me, though I should come up with a cover up story.
"Where I come from if you see someone in need of help, you help them. It was how I was raised." Orion said in a calm tone. In the inside of his mind he is panicking hoping that she buys the made up story.
Lili did however buy it. Then began to answer his questions "those people are part of my familia. T-they usually bully and gang up on me. When they don't bully or hit me they just take my money. Today I tried to take my money back. When I did I ran trying to escape. When I bumped into you I thought you would leave me. So thank you for helping me." Orion hearing such a heart felt speech was confused. 'This isn't like her? Why is she warming up so fast? I don't remember her being like this in the anime
I mean it took two days for bell in the anime. But I know I haven't spent that much time with her.' Orion might have not of know but him giving away stuff for free like half his loot. Also this time saving her for no reason. Kinda struck a cord with the girl. Of course to her he wasn't lying about anything. So she really thinking this black knight is doing it all for nothing. She then went to say "If there is anything you need me to do. Just ask and I will do it." Orion caught off guard by the sudden amount of trust couldn't help but chuckle.
"*inser chuckle here*
It's ok little one I am just glad your not to badly hurt. Now drink the potion your bruises should be gone when you drink them." Saying that she did as she was told and drank one potion. "Ok are there more people that would bully you? Or was it just them?" Hearing the question she replied "Most of my familia pick on me since I am the weakest. So I really don't know who would help me. My parents they wouldn't have help me even if they were alive." Orion remember them from the show and manga. How they were random people that fell victim to soma wine. To be honest he was curious how would it taste. But that could wait. "I am sorry to hear that. May I ask if you have a safe place to stay?" Lili tensed hearing that "no the only other place I have is somewhere they know. They always know where to find me." Orion thought that was a good excuse to get her to stay with him and Hestia. "Would you like to stay with me and my goddess then? You two can have the bed I will sleep somewhere else." Orion asked her "If that is ok with your goddess I would love to." With a nervous and uncertain look she replied with nervously.
After that Lili went to get her backpack and meet him at the town square.
Lilis POV:
'I can't believe he did all that for nothing. He helped me even though I could have been a thief. He help that group of assholes even though he didn't know them too. He gave them half of his items just to make up for killing the entire floor. Then today without even knowing me came to help me.' Lili was still trying to comprehend her thoughts. As she packed her bag with all she saw as valuable. She then head to the place she agreed to meet with Orion.
Once she meet with Orion. She and Orion wen to the home of the Hestia familia.
Orions POV:
On our way back I grabbed extra stuff we needed for the church. A extra bed, food and water. When we stop by the we'll I filled two Barrels of water. Once we got those stuff we continued back to our home. "Is that it?" Lili ask nervously "yup that is were we stay for now. I am planning on getting my goddess a real home." As they got to the front of the church they heard talking from the inside.
It was Hestia and smithing mommy Hephaestus. As they got in Hestia felt Orion through the falna and screamed from downstairs. "ORION WE NEED TO TALK!"
'Oh boy am in trouble.'
The end:
Author here I know short chapter. The reason is because I need to double check with the personality of characters. Like Lili and parts of the loki familia. I am sorry for the wait. But i don't like writing characters that don't act like they are supposed to. Ok next chapter will be hestia focus chapter. If don't like that wait three days for the chapter after that. Bye guys.
