Chapter 1
A sharp jolt of electricity shot through my arm again. It was painful, like all the other times. Before it was never this strong. It was something that i could grow accustomed to. But with power comes responsibility, and burden.
I needed this power to protect. To pay for my sins. I choose this path. I have to deal with my burdens alone.
After my morning refection. I decided to get up and face the morning. I took a deep breath and got out of my makeshift bed. Made of phoru skins and cockatile hides. The best thing you could make as a bed when you live in the mountains.
I choose this path as well. The world was in peace and there was little need for a weapon of war. The group was against my leave. All except Elsword, he was the only one who completely understood my decision. I remember the day I left pretty well.
The sun was shining overhead, ironic. I had only brought my sword. I decided to leave behind my other things, I wouldn't need them. I remember telling everyone after calling them all to a small group near the center of Elder.
"What you call us out for Raven?" Was what Rena had asked me. "You'll see" was what I told her. I wanted to wait for everyone to show up first. Soon after Rena arrived, Elsword then followed Aisha, Chung, Ara and then Eve.
"Alright, everyone." I wasn't entirely sure of the idea at the time. "I brought you all here to tell you I'm leaving." They all gave me a look of surprise as any would giving the situation. They all started asking me questions. Except Elsword and Eve.
Ever since Elsword had began training in Velder. He came back more and more mature each day. I could tell with how Aisha was acting toward the whole situation, she was the most pleased.
Elsword had stepped past all the others and their questions and raised his hand for me to shake. I honestly wasn't expecting this sort of reaction. I can still remember his last words to me before I left for the mountains of Elder. He gave me a solid look of determination and shook my demon hand. "Good luck Raven" was all he said. That was the first time he had ever shook my demon hand. I knew the reason he shook it. It was for the reason i was leaving. I swear that kid never stopped impressing me.
The others soon understood my decision and stopped the questions, thanks to Elsword. Rena was the first to give me a hug goodbye soon Aisha and Ara followed. Then Chung gave me a firm hand shake good bye with the same look as Elsword. Finally Eve gave me a pat on the shoulder. She was never a girl for emotional goodbyes it seemed. "We will m-miss you" she choked on her words. Even though her famous poker face was still there. It made me smile a little. I left soon after and gave my final goodbye. It's been three years since then.
But that was enough of the remembering the past. Work needed to be done. I need to find food and continue building my cabin. I turned to back to the forest and gave my final thought before business.
It may have been a selfish wish of mine but it was unavoidable. I still miss them, a lot. All the fun times we had. But a weapon of war has no place in times of peace. I balled my fist and went further down the mountain to look for today's meal.
The sun was slowly settig below the skyline and the painted the whole sky a deep orange. It was time to head back 'Home' and I needed to cook today's catch before it got cold and stale. I finished roping up all the fish I caught, in the river, on a 3 inch thick stick I found. Not the biggest game, but better then starving for the night.
The walk was quite save for a few crickets in the distance. "Wonder if the fire is still burning" I mumbled to myself. I don't remember ever putting it out. The thought alarmed me, but I didn't smell tree burning. So I guess it was safe to wonder around his head a bit till he got back. He maybe without company, physically. But, as cheesy as it was to him, he wasn't without friends that care.
