More Talking.

I keep petting and hugging Ramia back until she's calmed down.

"Th-thank you." She says after a few minutes.

"You're welcome. So, do you want to join my guild? Again, you don't need to. I can help you find something else to do if you want." I say and she shakes her head.

"No, I want to stay with you." She says smiling and blushes once she realizes what she said. "I-I mean, y-you've been so nice s-so..." She continues before I interrupt her by softly laughing.

"Sorry, you just looked too cute. The way you were blushing like that." I say causing her to blush deeper.

"S-so what do I n-need to do? To j-join your guild." She asks trying to change the subject.

"Follow me. I need to add Innu as well, so why don't you watch and that way you'll know what to do." I say, worried that she might be to shy to do so without knowing why. She nods and I lead her downstairs. I see Innu sitting next to Luna and Asami.

"Alpha!" Luna says running up to me. I pet her while she hugs me and turn to Innu.

"Hey Innu, I forgot to do this earlier but we need to add you to the guild. And Ramia's going to join after you." I say and Luna lets go to walk up to Ramia.

"I'm glad you're joining. That potion you made earlier was amazing!" Luna says and I look to her a bit shocked.

"You made more than the healing potions?" I say, not upset.

"Y-yeah. I made h-her a potion to i-increase her reaction speed. It l-lowered her Strength but she s-seemed to not be bothered by it." Ramia says and I pet her.

"Thank you." I say and she smiles. Innu walks up to me and asks what she needs to do to join. I take a picture of her and fill in her info. Favorite food meat, blood type o-, current residence my apartment, role Fighter and her biggest fear hunger. I finish entering her info and turn to Ramia. "Are you ready?" I ask her and she nods. I take her picture and fill out her info. Favorite food salad, apparently she's a vegan, blood type ab-, current residence my apartment, role Alchemist, her biggest fear explosions. She tells a quick story about how one of her experiments exploded and destroyed her old Workshop. I put my device away and turn to them. "Congratulations, you're now apart of the Steele Wolves guild!" I say a little embarrassed and they each smile. I remember my gramps's note and sigh.

"What's wrong?" Asami asks and I smile again.

"Nothing, but I do need to go. My gramps wants to talk. I'll be back later though." I say and she nods.

"Then Innu, Ramia, let me explain what our guild does." Asami says before leading them to the couch. I exit my Domain and go visit my gramps. I knock on Claire's door and she answers a few moments after.

"Eric, give me a minute. I'll go get Zack for you." She says before I can say anything. I see my gramps appear a few moments later.

"Are you ready to talk?" He asks and I nod. "Good, now come with me." He says taking out a Domain Crystal. Unlike my purple one, his is red. Before I can respond I'm immediately sucked into his Domain. I look around and see I'm in a classic police interrogation room from movies. The only thing missing is a wall with glass so others can watch. "Sorry about the appearance. I sometimes have to take people here to interrogate them so I've had this room built. Follow me." He says as he opens a metal door. I follow him and look around. We're outside, in a place that looks similar to my Domain. There's a lot of grass and some trees, however, instead of daylight it's all dark. Despite this, the moonlight is much brighter than normal and lights everything up almost as good as the sun. It hurts my eyes at first but I quickly adjust.

"What Essence does this?" I ask and he laughs.

"A few, but that's not why you're here. Come, it's right through here." He answers while pushing open another door. This one is connected to a small stone building. Inside is a bed, couch and table.

"So why am I here? If all we're doing is talking then why couldn't we do it in Claire's apartment? If you were worried about being spied on, Claire would've been able to see it."

"Very astute. There are two reasons I've brought you here. One is that yes, I'm a little worried the guilds put a tracker on you. But mainly because there's something I need to give you. But first we will talk."

"About?" I ask and he smiles.

"Why you fight." He says and I sigh.

"Why does everyone ask me that?" I say with a little frustration which causes him to laugh.

"Because you're a new power. Listen Eric." He says sincerely. "The other guilds are worried. And for good reason. You have the potential to become a God. Literally. You could ascend to Godhood, and the other guilds are worried. They don't know what powers you have. But that's not why I'm asking this. I'm just curious and nosey."

"At least you admit it. But I fight to protect the girls." I say embarrassed but wanting to get this over with. I see him smile and laugh again.

"Good. Now then, Eric, are you planning to break your other seal?" He asks and I sigh.

"I'm not sure. I'd like to, but I don't know if it's worth the risk. I don't even know what I'll get, or what'll happen if I lose the fight." I answer and he sighs.

"True, so are you backing down?"

"I don't know." I answer with another sigh.
