Author here! Writing this while being sick so don't expect much. Or great grammar.
Hestia and Hephaestus just left the walls of orario. Searching for a good area to build the children of Hestia home. Of course outside the walls there were no shortage of spots but picking the best was the current objective. Orion before leaving gave Hestia a note. On what location she should be looking for. On the note it said "Lady Hestia please look for a location near a hill. It should provide a good view of all of orario so you will have a place to relax. Or any member of the Familia space to cooldown after a they get angry.
-Your first member Orion."
This note lead Hestia to the northern side of orario near the gate. To be exact 150 meters away from the gate, Or 164.042 yards. Once the location was found they had to headed to the guild to file the claim and lock it in. "You think orion will love the spot?" Hestia ask Hephaestus with worry. Before Hephaestus could answer a certain dragon spoke. "Knowing my father. If you were the one to pick it, i am sure he would love even the trash pits." Tyrannus who took the back this time was marching behind Hestia and Hephaestus. While the twins took the front and sul right behind them. As they walked through town tyranus turned to see a red headed man walking through the streets. This man standing out due to his hair color being different from the rest. It was Welf. Since no danger besides being someone Hephaestus might get a crush. Thankfully no one besides orion knew this so tyranus ingnored it sensing no danger.
Once they got to the guild hall the four marines had to ask. "Lady Hestia and Lady Hephaestus what is the guild hall called?" Stopping at the door once they heard the question. Hestia and Hephaestus turned looking puzzled at the unexpected question. "Orion didn't tell you?" Hestia was the first to ask. "Father only called it the guild hall when we asked." Sul answered remembering his fathers words when they first arrived. "Oh ok well the main base or hub of the adventures guild is called "the pantheon". Once you go into the dungeon this is where you will meet your assistances. They will help you get through the dungeon and it's floors." Hestia explained it to them. After the explanation both Hestia and Hephaestus entered the guild hall. Before they could get to the desk however they were stopped. "Ms.Hestia, Ms.Hephaestus please come with me lord ouranos wishes to speak with you."
As they were lead away by a person with a serious look and dog ears. Once they entered Ouranos chamber they immediately went near the stairs of the throne. Hestia was the first to speak. "Why did you call us when we were in the middle of something? Couldn't you have waited till we finished what we needed to do?" Ouranos looked at Hestia and answered with a regal tone. "No, I believe you know why i couldn't have waited for you to finish whatever you were doing. Your boy Hestia, He might be small in power compared to us yet he is doing something other more powerful gods have failed to do. It might be the help of that void lord but at this point it doesn't matter. Because he is fully subjugating the dungeon as we speak.
I felt it as floor by floor the dungeon fought less and less against my hold on it on the higher floors. Tell me Hestia when were you going to let me know such a change was coming?" Hephaestus in the dark about this since she thought it was just for clearing a floor and moving on. Not complete annihilation of control of the floor from the dungeon. "Hang on what is going on? what is so bad about Orion and his sons clearing the floors don't big familias do it all the time?" Hephaestus ask with confusion. "You haven't told her?" Ouranos was equally confused. "Uhh it slip my mind oops." Hestia did her signature silly face. Which was meet with an immediate bonk on the head by Hephaestus. "You need to tell me everything that muscle brute does you idiot." Hephaestus with reasonable rage yelled at Hestia. Why was she inraged? you might be asking. Well it's simple why the hell wouldn't she be when the guy she is practically forced to marry is doing stuff she doesn't know about.
She wants and needs constant view and knowledge of what he is doing to make sure he isn't doing something crazy. Like completely stopping the dungeon from controlling certain floors. "It just slipped from my mind in the excitement of the rewards sorry!" in panic and fear of more torment from her best friend Hestia rush pleaded for mercy. "Fine but next time full detail of what he is doing and what it means." Hephaestus then let Hestia go which she immediately bowing and thanking her for letting her go. "Thank you Hephaestus thank you thank you." Ouranos who watch the whole ordeal wasn't amused in the slightest. "Hestia i think you are still forgetting something." Hestia was now confused "Huh what? Orion is clearing the floors and stopping the dungeon what's the problem?" It was then Ouranos showed the biggest problem of what Orion was doing. "Hestia while what he is doing is good it is equally bad. Orario thrives off the dungeon no monster spawning means no monster drops. This in turn will lead to a drop of recourses. Something that we usually got from the dungeon. Not just monsters but also the ores and other materials the dungeon provided will now be gone. What will we do if we will need to look to other city's and nation for help? how can we conquer the dungeon, when Orion can't if he doesn't have the recourses?"
Before Ouranos could continue the Hestia's system turned on showing a list of floors and what rewards they gave. Once the entire floor was conquered but what caught her eye and made her focus on was the reward for clearing level 20. "Reward for clearing level 20 is for all floors that have been cleared. After fully clearing floor 20 you will be allowed control of if any of the cleared floors will generate any recourses." Hestia was zoned out reading this which was caught by both Hephaestus and Ouranos. "What is it Hestia don't just leave us in the dark." Hephaestus knowing the look all too well ask cautiously. "I think i have the answer for our problems." Ouranos having this be his first time seeing the system and it's rewards was now curious. "Well Hestia what does it say in that system of yours?" Ouranos tired of waiting asked impatiently. "It say's after Orion and his sons full clear level 20 i will have complete control of any floor they clear and it's resources. Or mainly it's recourses, i don't know if it will allow me to spawn monsters." Ouranos sighed relieved at some good news. That was then overshadowed by a overwhelming curiosity. 'If she could summon monsters in the dungeon would they be loyal to her? Could they end up like the Xenos but more intelligent being made by a god? These thoughts should be left till they reach floor 20. I first need to inform them of Orion making his way to their floor. I need to move them or at least move them somewhere safe from his view. I don't know how he will react to them or his sons.' Ouranos was driven from his thoughts from a question Hestia
"So is that it? Problem solved?" Ouranos then chuckled lightly. "Not even close, there is still one major problem. Hestia what will adventures do if they can't find monsters to kill in the dungeon's first floors?" Hestia look up in thought but was interrupted by Hephaestus. "They will go to deeper floors which will house monsters beyond their skill level that they can handle. Which will lead to more deaths then people leveling up." Ouranos looked at her thankful someone had taken the topic seriously. "Thank you Hephaestus. She is right Hestia while it is good that your Orion is slowly killing the dungeon and will most likely destroy it. The many adventures and people that rely on the dungeon will slowly kill them selves in their work. Or in the dungeon's lower floors that contain beast beyond their strength." Ouranos waved his hand signaling that Hestia and Hephaestus can leave. With them turning he told Hestia one final thing. "Ask Orion if he has answers to this problem of ours Hestia. If he does send him to me. I wish to know how he will solve such a conundrum." with that they left his chambers.
"So?" Hephaestus ask with honest confusion on how to solve such a problem. "sooo, what?" Hestia looking at her to finish what she was saying. "How do you think Orion is going to solve this? I mean he is the brother of a void being and the son of that empress. But i don't see them helping him that much. I mean all of this work has been from the system or his own hands. All the system has given you was a way to guide Orion on a path that leads somewhere we can't see yet. We don't know what is going to happen in the future but one thing is certain. We are the entertainment of that being. I know Orion says he is his brother but, i doubt such a being has feeling or emotions. For now let's be on guard and ready when we have to face a challenge that so called brother of his puts for him." Hestia during that whole speech had a small smile creep onto her lips. "Huh sound like your falling for him." Hephaestus was quick with a comeback "No i am simply worried about my familia and how i can save them."
Hestia reached the desk of the guild hall and told Hephaestus "sure, sure we will go with that." Hestia then turned to the person manning the desk. "We are looking to purchase property outside of orario on the northern side. Is there a price and current payment plan we can set up?" it was Eina Tulle who was manning the desk so Hestia was greeted by a warm smile. "Of course here is a map please point to the location you wish to purchase. I will give you a price and payment plan if you can't pay full up front. Please show me the property you wish to buy." Hestia then pointed to the location her and Hephaestus were at. "This is the one we want." Eina then gave her the full price. "That property being outside orario is cheaper then property inside. It costs 250,000 for that property of size and shape outside orarios walls. Please note that all any crime outside orario is not monitored usually by the guild or Ganesha Familia." Hestia nodded "I will be back with the payment in full please write down we the Hestia familia claim that land." with that Both Hestia and Hephaestus left to the church to get ready for Orion to give the news.
