Word quickly spread like a wildfire of Ottar challenging Zephyr to a match on the 18th floor. Adventures came in droves whether it be from different Familia’s or the same they all helped one another reach that floor solely just to see these two fight.
This day even Evilus for all of their evil did not wish to miss this fight having their children take them in hiding. No matter how skilled one was they would not be able to find them and vice versa. This would be considered the first unified gathering of Familia’s a spectacle that one needs to see for themselves.
Down on the 18th floor it quickly was renovated by the hoards of adventures coming to the town with help from several smithing Familia’s.
“…Come on I didn’t think it would escalate this far Lord Ouranos?” Cirrus said coming down the dungeon.
“I am simply amazed 20% of the city’s population went to the 18th floor, I can feel several gods on said floor all to watch you Cirrus.”
“Well what did you expect!” said Nox in her human form in the invisibility mantle. “Cirrus and that Ottar are pretty famous! The Warlord Ottar, a man who clashed with the Zeus and Hera Familia! and Cirrus! The White Beast! The rising star of the new generation of adventures!”
“We know but for this to happen so quickly…I’m a bit loss for words.” Fels said.
“I can say the same, I thought we would like fight in the woods or something and then be on our way but now…geez it really got out of hand fast.”
“For now Astraea and Artemis are assisting me in keeping the dungeon in check.”
“More precisely I’m simply using his observation and fine tuning it!” Astraea said. “So we can watch you fight using this orb Fels made!”
“But it is an odd feeling using Arcanum after so long.” Artemis said.
‘So…this is how it feels to be a child in a sports game where their parents come to watch. Proud, excited and some anxiety? Seems about right.’
Cirrus made a big smile as he walked faster.
“Were coming up on the 17th floor, Cirrus I’ll be flying around to find a good viewing spot!”
“Hm, alright.”
Nox in a brilliant light turned into an owl and took the crystal with her flying on ahead.
“Guess its show time. “(Exousía, Adorn: Ceryneian).”
When reaching the 18th floor he could see a structure reminiscent of the coliseum if it were made of wood.
Cirrus seeing the large structure went to a nearby hill to see the floor more fully. When he did, he was astounded by the number of adventures gathered it was like a sporting event with several venues open.
While looking down he spotted Artemis and Astraea’s Familia together. He sees the Susanoo Familia with their god enjoying the occasion.
“So many people…hey Nox I’m going to drop some stuff off at base.”
‘Got it! Hey, can you see me! I can see you!’
Cirrus turns and he could barely make out a white figure way out in the distance.
“Uhh…probably?”
Cirrus took off to the south of the floor where all the crystals were, and he found the base that long ago made but with smoke coming out.
“?”
Cirrus quietly approached his second home and listened for any voices.
“Eupheme get up! you wanted me to come so get up!”
“Hmmm…5 more minutes…”
“Haaa…Tsubaki could you wake her up?”
“Hm? Sorry I was just working on this house!”
‘Ah fuck.’
Cirrus knew who it was.
He opened the door to find Hephaestus and her captain Tsubaki.
When Cirrus told Eupheme that he was Zephyr and even showed her the armor he asked Hephaestus if she can give her some protection and that protection was her captain Tsubaki. Tsubaki herself only really cared about smithing and improving her craft but like any person who has a craft they need money and to her surprise of all the Hephaestus Familia’s master smiths Eupheme was single handedly the 2nd biggest bringer of the lower level familia members. The major reason being that her customer (Cirrus) is essentially funding her work out of pocket.
“…Mind telling me why you’re in my secret base?”
“Oh? White Beast! Eupheme told us about this base you made when your exploring the dungeon!” said Tsubaki.
“We are sorry for intruding but these two dragged me here yesterday but there were no rooms left to get.”
“Yeah, then Eupheme mentioned this place, so we found it and stayed here for your fight!”

“…Fine. Do as you like.”
Cirrus goes upstairs and puts some of stuff in his trunk.
‘Still don’t get why you have stuff out in the world when you can simply store it in our shadow.’ said Nox.
“Because I like having cache spots plus I feel more comfortable having a filled home.”
Cirrus then walks over to Eupheme who was sleeping and pulled her out of bed.
Thud!
“Hmm…who did that.” She said in a monotone and groggy voice not noticing she is on the ground.
“Me, get up your captain and goddess are ready.”
“Hmm alright…good luck in your fight.”
“Thanks.”
Cirrus waves goodbye to her and to the two downstairs.
‘I am a bit peeved our secret base has other people in it…’
“Well we have another secret base on the 28th floor so don’t worry.”
‘Okay…but you should come to the colosseum they seem to be having fights for the main course that is you vs. Ottar!’
“How nice.”
While approaches the area filled with adventures, as soon as they saw him, they made way as Cirrus walks through a path of cheering and yelling.
“WHITE BEAST!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!!”
“LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“I BET MONEY ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
‘….Well this is a first.’
As he was walking Hermes actually appeared.
“Ah Zephyr!” he said with a big smile with Lydia and Asfi next to him. “Come I’ll lead you to your room!”
Cirrus followed him inside where they kept the people from entering. To Cirrus this really was like a stadium, he could hear the people outside cheering.
“…So how did you get the job as presenter?” Cirrus said looking at Hermes.
“I was the only god with enough charm to pull it off!”
“Lord Apollo tried pretty hard so both of them wrested for it!” Lydia said. “It’s a shame you weren’t there everyone was laughing!”
“So is Ottar here?” Cirrus asked.
“Of course! Now with you here the main event is soon to come! Ill call you when its time!”
Hermes leaves with Lydia and Asfi behind him.
“...Huh? I should check off “Fill a stadium” from my bucket list.”
Walking around the coliseum trying to get back to her Familia, Ai looks around.
“Hmm…why do I keep getting lost…”
She looks around to see several people passing by in different directions.
Sniff! Sniff!
“!!”
Ai caught wind of a familiar sent in a coliseum full of people.
“Cirrus! He can help me!”
