Chapter 1: Kidnapped
As the sun began setting over the wide horizon of Velder, a boy dressed in shining armor stood behind the parapet of the castle, showing fatigue in his eyes. He had been lacking sleep for the past few days, and regretted not going to bed at the time he had been scheduled to, for he leaned against the wall and started snoozing during his knight shift.
The sun's rays reflected off the blade of his sword which was gripped loosely in his hand, and shone a stunning woman in red, observing him high above from one of the castle's watchtowers, her long hair blowing along with the wind.
"Sleeping on the job again? Sigh, this is the third time this week, and he's usually a pretty active boy." She said with concern, shaking her head. Drawing her sword back, she briefly walked away as night time soon fell.

[Elsword's POV]
"Check the gates once more, we could not afford to have citizens camping in front of the castle anymore." commanded Elesis, pointing her large claymore toward the open gateway.
I was too tired to do anything, so refusing to listen to her order, I simply stood there, watching the knights dash out with flashlights in their hands. As the brisk, cool breeze blew sharply through my crimson, ruffled hair, I spotted Elesis leisurely making her way towards me.
"Hey Els, are you alright? You seem less active for the past few days. Catching a cold?" she asked, her hand on her hip and claymore resting over her shoulder.
I replied with a quick shake of my head. "No, I'm just a little tired today, that's all."
"Okay, but be sure to get a good night's sleep tonight, wouldn't want you to doze off during your shift again." she said, letting out a slight chuckle.
I sighed and reassured her, "Don't worry, I will."
We both headed inside Velder's castle through it's large doors, walking side-by-side together. I escorted my sister up a few glossy stairways, down the bright halls, and to her room where we wished each other a good night. I went to mines soon afterward, which was located one floor below hers.
I hastily kicked my door open, slammed it shut and slipped under the covers of my nice, soft bed, not bothering to turn on the lights. I could feel my eyelids getting heavier by the second, until I finally closed my eyes and have sleep take over me.

Tap Tap Tap.
...
Tap Tap Tap.
"Huh?" I slowly opened my eyes and immediately threw my blankets off. I glanced at my alarm clock that read 2:23 A.M. and turned toward my closed door. What's that noise? It sounds like footsteps, and it's coming from the halls.
Tap Tap Tap.
"Who goes there?" I asked in a hushed voice. I jumped off my bed and silently tip-toed across my room to the door.
Tap Tap Tap.
It's getting louder. Hesitating, I turned the doorknob and poked my head out as soon as the door opened. I scanned the hallways and saw nothing except the darkness of the night, and heard only the crickets chirping together in harmony. Eh? Maybe I'm just hearing things?
I turned back, but instead of seeing my own room again, something brown flew over me and covered me from head-to-toe, causing me to fall over. I could feel myself getting dragged across the floor as I struggled to move free. What is this?! An intruder?! A kidnapping?!
"Elesis! Elesis!" I called out for my sister, but had no response from her, nor any of the other knights. Is this a soundproof bag or something?!
I desperately began punching and kicking until I felt myself coming to a stop on the middle of the cold, hard ground. Then suddenly, something hard hit against my head.
And with that, I blacked out.
