Naruto lay on the ground peacefully but his dream was out of the ordinary once again. In the dream world Naruto floated in the sky as he saw an old traditional city enter his sight, he seemed to move towards the center of the city where the largest building was located.

There to his astonishment, Naruto saw Kaguya sitting in the garden while behind her he could see maids taking care of two children. She looked so different and gave off the feeling that she was kind and generous.

'Then what happened?'

As he looked on with curiosity, Kaguya who seemed to be lost in thought as her face was scrunched up in concentration. She seemed to be worried and didn't seem to find what she wanted. She looked into the distance and sighed with her hand on her forehead, "How do I fight against the clan? I don't know when they might found about this place?"

Her tone was filled with worry and frustration but as he watched she suddenly looked up and fear could be felt from her. She looked around with her opened and power operating, "No, I will not comply?" She seemed to be answering someone through gritted teeth.

'Someone has power to influence her mind and she is resisting.' Naruto felt like he was at the point of truth as he saw that she fell to the ground holding her head followed with painful groans.

"I will kill you all; no body touches what is mine." Naruto heard her scream but he could sense madness had taken place inside her mind

Suddenly she directly looked towards him, "No one."

Her hand was about to move and he felt danger but fortunately he woke thanks to Gaea.

"Huff, huff" He breathed heavily trying to calm down his nerves

'That was too dangerous. Damn these visions might end up killing me someday.'

Gaea looked at him with worry as he seemed really relieved to have woken up, 'What did he see? Curses, now I have to tell him of another worrying detail.'

"Are you okay?" she said in worrying tone

Naruto looked at Gaea with his mood calmed from the fright and smiled, "No worries, just a nightmare." He didn't want her to blame herself for it so he didn't want to talk about it and he didn't need her input in this as it had everything to do with his own world.

Gaea looked at him with suspicion but kept herself from pushing him, "Okay, I won't ask. I believe you will share it if necessary."

"Thanks for understanding"

Naruto didn't let this information get to his head and nodded while contemplating his actions, "It's not a problem, we were already planning to leave so we can just go today."

"Ah" Gaea just seemed to have realized that they were intending to actually protect the place but the nymphs and they would have left most likely in a week.

'I am letting my annoyance and disgust affects my mind' she thought as she sat down on his shoulder

Naruto felt like laughing somewhat as even Gaea could react like that but kept it to himself while he called out to the nymph leaders.

"Yes, how can we help" The water nymph asked with respect in her voice

"We need to leave as other dragons might be coming sometime later to find Albion. I will have Albion make noise out of the city and leave clues so they won't come this way. I enjoyed your reception but this goodbye for a time." Naruto said in slow and gentle manner as he did enjoy their presence

The nymphs felt bad as their savior was being forced into this situation because of them and they were powerless to help. "Is there anything we can do to help?"

"Just some fruits for now and you can provide me information later when I come by." Naruto said as he got and walked towards Ella.

The nymph nodded and she went to her friend to gather the best fruits for them to enjoy on their journey. They ended up gathering a large amount which filled up two bags.

"Get ready to leave. I hope you will change sooner or later." Naruto muttered while holding back his annoyance at the backstabbing lizard.

"Hmph" Albion harrumphed and transformed back to his original form which had healed form its injuries and only some marks were left.

As Albion walked behind him, Naruto went towards Ella once again and picked her up. She was light so there was no problem carrying her, his vision inadvertently went towards Alice. She was sleeping as she had expanded more energy than anyone, he wanted to bring her along as she was really helpful but he knew she had her own life.

'I can't bring others into my problem.' He thought as he walked towards Albion as the little wind nymphs circled him crying and begging for him to stay.

They were really cute little creatures and with their tiny amount of strength they all held onto him to stop him from mounting Albion. This experience made him feel touched but also encouraged him to leave faster.

"Calm down, little friends we will meet again. I am not leaving forever." Naruto said with a smile to cool them down but they were children so they did not understand the situation

Naruto had to be rescued by the leaders as they brought along a big bag filled with good stuff.

"Don't disturb the champion, little ones" The water nymph said as she had the older nymphs get them away

Naruto didn't like the look of sadness on their faces but he ignored as it was best for them and looked at the leaders.

"You are my friends and I do not like seeing good people get hurt so need for thanks."

Nymph felt a lot better after hearing his friendly and humble opinion, so she nodded to her friend beside her who brought Alice.

"Please take her along, we can continue without her and she wanted to help you as much as possible. This is her d.e.s.i.r.e so please grant us this request and it can make it easy to provide information to you through Alice." The water nymph said in a begging tone

Naruto wanted to deny but he could feel that she was not lying and everything was genuine. As he was struggling with the choice, Gaea gave her own opinion, "You should take her along. With her help we can finish the quest at a faster rate with lower difficulty."

Naruto looked at Alice and remembered the feeling he had when they combined, they were compatible and there was low resistance.

"Okay but if there is much danger I will send her away." Naruto said with a sigh as he remembered that Ella was also in the same situation

With the gang on his body, Albion took flight and as instructed when he had had arrived out of the city he roared to make the monsters remember his presence. He moved faster and as passing by some mountains he blew flames on it and smashed it with his tail.

"Good enough" Albion loud voice rang

"That's enough" Naruto shouted

Naruto thought a bit before responding, "Camp Half Blood."

'I still haven't seen what kind people are they so what better place than their base'

Albion was confused why this being would want to go there, 'Is he working with the demi's? Doesn't matter, I will definitely be free'

As Albion started flying towards their destination Gaea wondered what his decision would be after seeing the children.

'Hope he does not hesitate when the time comes, the children might be sad little existences but they made their choices.'

---------------------

The destination was three days worth of journey from the place they took off from. As Albion had shown signs of weakening Naruto had him land in an appropriate place, where it was good enough place for them to rest. Even he was still tired and needed to rest or else he might have fallen off the dragon's back.

Naruto climbed off Albion's back as he landed and carried Ella along with Alice, placing them on the ground in comfortable positions so they didn't wake up.

"I will be going to sleep, you can rest as well" Naruto said as he lay on the ground beside Ella

"Sigh" Naruto realized that people don't just change so easily with one conversation.

'I can't let my victories get to my head' Naruto reprimanded himself

"Go to sleep, Naruto. I will watch over everything" Gaea said as she was sat on his c.h.e.s.t

"Thanks and good night" Naruto yawned as he said the words and fatigue overtook him, making him fall asleep within minutes.

----------------------------

The next morning, Naruto awoke to find that he was the last one to get up. There was no water source nearby to clean up so he had to do without. He walked to join the others who were sitting nearby, both the fighters looked healthy and Albion sitting in the distance also looked to have recovered completely.

"Good morning" He said as the others responded in kind

He sat down and Alice was the focus of his attention, "You must have heard about what happened so do you wish to accompany us or you want to leave?"

"I wish to join your quest and this is not just from a sense of obligation but because I want to be with you." Alice said with a determined tone

That had taken a lot of courage for Alice to say those words so she felt deflated inside and couldn't muster up anything else after she realized that Naruto didn't understand what she just said.

'He is too damn dense, does he only know of one like' Alice wanted to shout but that would be out of character

On the other hand Gaea was covering her mouth to stop from laughing at the scene, 'He never fails to put a smile on my face.'

"Ella you have done well, so what do wish to have as a reward." Naruto didn't notice the girls reactions and turned to Ella had an eager expression.

She jumped up and with a wide smile she spoke, "Ella wants a kiss." She said directly, with the increase in power her wisdom had increased and just from the situation she realized Naruto would only understand with a direct approach.

Naruto felt embarrassed and overly conscious of her appearance once she said those words, with fl.u.s.tered tone he muttered, "You should do that with someone you like."

"Ella like Naruto" She said with a clear gaze, staring into his eyes so that he couldn't look away from her powerful eyes

'What do I do? I promised and breaking promises goes against my code but I don't love her. How can I lead her on?' Naruto seemed lost in thought thinking of these things when he felt a soft touch on his lips; it was amateurish but still filled with love.

Naruto started ahead into Ella's eyes as she continued to mash her lips with his, he was too shocked to act and let her play with him. Only after two minutes did she separate, "It didn't taste like anything the book described, Ella is confused."

Naruto felt like laughing that the first words she would say after doing such a thing was about the taste of the kiss not being like a books description. While Alice felt defeated that a younger girl had just done more than her and Gaea didn't understand what she feeling, it was a dark d.e.s.i.r.e she hadn't felt for so long.

'Am I feeling jealous?'

"You don't need to think so hard, as you will definitely love Ella. Ella guarantees." She said as she concentrated on the subject at hand

Naruto didn't want t disrespect her belief and resolve so he decided not to deny her the opportunity, he didn't love anyone more than a friend so he really didn't have any reason to deny her a chance.

"Okay" He nodded as he came to an understanding with himself

"Then one more" She said as she tried to latch onto him

"No" Naruto and Alice both said while Alice reacted faster as she watching Ella's movement very closely and jumped her before she could mount Naruto.

Albion felt more and more confused as he watched them, 'What kind of being is he, is that really his true form? He said he would make me stronger than I could fathom, what does that imply? Was he bluffing?'

Naruto talked for awhile and did warm up exercises before they continued the journey. On the third day as they were just hours from their destination, Alice sensed something.

"Enemies incoming, it's a dragon. No, three dragons." She shouted in worry as her voice was carried to the others clearly

Albion smiled in victory, 'Brothers come and free me from this disgraceful state.'

Naruto connected his senses with the wind and shot out lightning bolts toward the dragons but they were too strong for it and his elemental power was weak. It only singed their skin slightly and they roared in delight, as they could see their prey.

"Albion dive down and zigzag through the buildings" Naruto commanded

Albion wished that he didn't have to but the covenant forced him as he dived down with full speed and did as he was told. The dragons followed while one still stayed up, as they passed by between two buildings Naruto quickly threw the two spiked chains connecting both buildings.

Using the wind he created a strong gust and Alice supported him in the act so when the Dragons took the turn they collided with chains causing destruction to the buildings.

"Oh shit!" Naruto just realized what he done on instinct

Naruto quickly concentrated on the falling debris and the chains, while he had Albion fly in place as he held the things up. The chains coiled up the falling dragons that couldn't get a chance to fly within a short space and their bodies kept on colliding with each other.

The chains coiled around them their legs while the other part was attached to Albion who was raging within at what was transpiring.

"Sorry Albion but you have to suffer through this, fly faster towards"

"That direction" Gaea completed for him as he didn't know how to quickly get rid of the burden

Albion with difficulty was forced to carry his fellows towards a construction site, where he rammed them into the incomplete structure making the tonnes of concrete and steel beams fall on their bodies. Naruto made sure they wouldn't get out by manipulating the steel to entangle them and bashed them with the wrecking ball.

They heard a roar of outrage from behind as huge flame came towards them, "Albion, it seems your friend's don't really care for you safety. Blast him."

'Curse you damned being' Albion regretted his choices as he breathed flames towards his brother but his was smaller. Naruto and Alice took action, with their wind powers the flames were fanned towards the enemy causing it harm. The Dragon took damage and staggered; Naruto quickly utilized the metal around him and threw them like spears causing them to rip through its wings.

"Let's go" Naruto said as he captured the other dragon but it was too dangerous as they had made too much noise

"If you had been good, it wouldn't have come to this" Naruto muttered to Albion who just roared in response, letting out his frustration and anger

-----------------------

After the long winded battle and some more hours of travel, they finally arrived in the area where Camp half blood was located. Naruto could see the buildings and people from the sky, "Naruto, there is a barrier protecting the place. Unless you want to fight the Olympians don't touch it."

Gaea warned him as he might just enter the place. Hearing her warning, Naruto crossed out his plan to enter and observe from inside.

'Now the only thing I can do is observe from afar. Luckily the place is open and there not many buildings so nothing to block the view.' Naruto thought as he had Albion land miles away from the camp as he did not want them to be alarmed about their presence.
