Me: I need to update my other stories DX but every time I try I get a new idea! WHYYY~!?
"Rena I am so unsure of how to thank you for achieving your task. I knew you could do it." The elder smiled nodding in content towards my success, continually making confidence boosting remarks.
"Thank you very much Elder; for your kind words of praise, however I couldn't have done it without the help of my-"
"Your friends, yes I know already; and I'm afraid I have some bad news." There was a serious tone to her voice that sent chills down my back.
"W-What's the bad news?"
"I'm afraid that… Now that… Since the Elshard has been returned to its home we must wipe clean the memories of those who remember it. Just to keep it safe. No one must know about it."
I bit my lip, "A-And my friends?"
She closed her eyes preparing her words, "They will have their memories stripped clean about the Elshard as well. It will be as though the ELGANG had never existed."
"Y-You can't do that! They've proven themselves worthy of keeping knowledge of El! Why must they lose their memories as well?"
"It'd be for the best if no one knew."
"Th-Then what if El is stolen or corrupted once again? I'll need their help!"
"That is a risk I am willing to take. Knowing you; I know that you'll find another way." The elder sighed. "As a reward for your service I will be allowing YOU to initiate the memory cleansing."
"I refuse! I refuse to let you take away my friends!"
"RENA!" The elder snapped. "It won't hurt them! It's for the best!"
"N-No! I simply refuse! I cannot allow that to happen, Elder!"
"Do NOT raise your voice at me! Know your place Rena!"
I bit my lip; my friends, my beloved Raven… I was going to lose them all? Just like that? After everything we'd been through? Eve, Aisha, Elsword, Chung… Raven… I cried with the thoughts of losing them swelling into my mind.
The elder patted my back gently, "I understand how painful this must be for you Rena, but it is something that must be done."
"It's not fair, I have restored El and done as the universe had intended, but I get nothing from it."
"That's not true; you received the honor of saving the world and restoring balance to nature once again."
"That is not a reward that you can touch with your own hands." I sobbed.
"You do not wish to be the one to do the memory cleansing?"
I shook my head furiously. "Can I at least say goodbye?"
She was silent for a long moment, "Very well then… I will give you by sunset to say goodbye to you friends. Just… Do not mention the memory cleansing. I'll send two others to do that."
I nodded and walked out of the meeting room, bow in trembling hands, my Grand Archer Uniform was the cause for this. I had sworn my commitment to the elves; thus I am no longer able to be with my human friends. I went to go see them; they were waiting by the forest entrance.
Raven's POV
"Rena!" I smiled as she walked towards us; I wonder why she took so long.
"Sorry for making you wait." She sighed.
"That's okay." Aisha said, "Now c'mon let's go celebrate!" She locked arms with her.
Rena backed up, "T-That's the thing… I'm afraid this is good bye." She looked towards her shoes.
"G-Good bye?" Chung stuttered. "Why goodbye?"
"I'm afraid that… Now that…" She was looking for her words, "Now that El has been restored I must stay here to protect it. And that means I'll have to leave the group." She clenched her fists.
I couldn't say anything, I was in complete shock. RENA was leaving me? I didn't want to lose her, we'd been through so much together.
Everyone was silent; Eve broke the silence when she began to gasp for breath through her tears.
"I-I d-do not understand. You were my family, each and every one of you. I was a broken soul until you had come to my life; that goes for everyone. It would not be the same if one of us were to leave."
Rena gave Eve a hug, Aisha joined the hug sobbing as well. Chung joined, he was crying the most, Elsword joined, not crying, but with a pained expression towards his face. Lastly I joined, not knowing how to feel. Obviously I was sad, but this has happened to me before. When Seris left…
Rena's POV
"I must go now." I broke the hug, "Good bye everyone." I walked towards the forest, tears flooding my eyes.
I could feel them looking at me. Watching me go.
Elsword's POV
How terrible, thing's won't be the same without Rena. I sighed, "Let's go guys." I tried to comfort them, helping them to walk again.
"Elsword, what do we do now?" Aisha sobbed.
I looked towards Raven, I knew he would be the one to be the most wounded from this.
"Let's go home." I honestly didn't know what to do.
Raven's POV
And as Elsword had said, we walked home, silent. Everyone found a chair and sat down. We had just saved the world, but now one of our members was gone. I looked towards the chair where Rena had usually sat in her cheerful or raging mood.
I chuckled at the memory of how she yelled at Elsword and Aisha when they almost killed each other.
There was a knock at the door, "Open up!"
Chung looked towards us; he was closest to the door. "Fine." He twisted it open. Someone grabbed him and pulled him out of the house, "WHOA! W-what are you doing?"
Everyone rushed to the door, looking from side to side, Chung had disappeared! In that instent we were all gagged and tied up. Our voices muffled, I had managed to pull the gag down a bit with my tongue, "What are you doing?" There were several elves in front of us, Rena's tribe?!
"By order the Elgang must be executed for having touched El, thus the memory cleansing is no longer possible."
"Memory cleansing? Execution!? Whose orders are these?"
"Orders from Rena."
The aurora changed. Rena? Why would she want us executed?
"Why?"
"It is law."
. . . . .
We were dragged into the forest; there we were to be hung. This reminds me of the time ALEX has framed me and betrayed me, but now Rena? How could she?
"Raven. Can you hear me?" It was Aisha, when did she learn how to use telepathy?
"I have a plan… How strong is your arm?"
I concentrated trying to reply, "Strong enough to break this rope."
She looked from every member; she connected everyone's thoughts together.
"I can call Moby, Reby, Ophelia and Oberon. Should I?"
"Yes, Eve, tell them to come, just don't let them be seen."
"Aisha, when did you learn how to do this?" I heard Chung's voice.
"I'm not sure… But that's not the problem at the moment. They aren't looking, Raven loosen the rope around your arms, but make sure it isn't too lose, make sure they don't notice."
I nodded as I twisted my arms; the rope was lose enough for me to break! "It's lose."
"Good." I heard Elsword say. "I'll be first to be executed, when they list my acts of treason, everyone will have their eyes on me. I want you to quickly break everyone's rope and take everyone away, Raven."
Everyone was shocked, "ELSWORD! We can't let you die!"
He sighed, "It's the only way."
"No it isn't! We should just escape now! Raven is lose!"
"How will he be able to reach us all? Everyone is focusing on us."
"You five! I hope you aren't planning anything." An elf hissed at us, we were waiting in the cold caged room; we could see the rope which was to hang us. Several guards stayed close to us.
"I have an idea. Goodbye everyone." Elsword said.
"Wait no Els!"
Elsword stood up no matter how hard it was and rushed at the guards; he broke the rope with their spears and attacked at them with his fists since he was weaponless. He grabbed one of their swords and started to fight, they tried to contain him, but it was impossible to contain Elsword.
"It's impossible to stop him! Just kill him on the spot!"
They tried to hurt him with close combat, but it wouldn't work. I saw a guard ready his bow and arrow, focusing on his target as the intense battle continued. Elsword used his rolling smash and sandstorm, but more guards began coming.
I shook of the gag as quickly as I could, "ELS!"
He snapped to my attention just in time to see the arrow, but he was too late to dodge it. There he was dead on the floor, blood leaking from the arrow lodged in his stomach.
"ELS!" I screamed tears flooding my eyes.
Aisha screamed through her gag crying.
I no longer needed my hand and legs to fight back, all I need was my rage.
