T/Prologue

"Come on Els,you have to at least try to do damage to me with your attacks!" taunted Raven whilst deflecting the swings Elsword threw towards him.

"You're sooo easy to read!" he continued with a smirk while ducking under one of Elsword's sideways swings and delivering a kick to his feet causing the young Knight to lose his balance and fall on his side.

"Bah, "the redhead gritted his teeth and rose back up,sword in hand, "Well time to get serious then!" he lifted his sword in a striking stance and dashed towards his sparring partner, he then feigned a down-wards strike towards Raven's right side which made the Blade Master dodge the other way. "Gotcha!" Elsword then used his strike's momentum as he stuck his blade in the ground and jumped over his friend launching an overhead fireball from his left hand.

"Seriously?"Raven easily blocked the fireball with his nasod arm and turned around at the now defenseless Elsword who safely landed behind him,sword still stuck in the ground.

"Well. Now,you're disarmed, and I'm within striking distance, also your fireball was kinda weak,you should probably work on that." Raven calmly stated while sheathing his sword and they both started walking towards Chung who was inspecting his Destroyer and Silver Shooters near them.

"Oh,you guys are done?" Not waiting for a response Chung continued "Then,Raven mind if we go at it in 10 minutes or so? I've recently upgraded the barrels on my Silver Shooters and I'm dying to test the accuracy on a moving target" He said half smiling and awkwardly scratching his head.

"Ah,Els." The black haired man said towards the redhead "You should probably try to get a little magic-oriented training. Your fire-balls are strong,don't get me wrong, but if we're going to fight armored foes in the future, they won't be of much use, considering how I've easily blocked your fire ball with my nasod arm." Raven gestured towards the house. "You should probably ask Aisha for advice or something,she IS the Elemental Master, you know?"

"Yeah,Yeah,I get it but I wanted to do this on my own..if I am to get stronger it has to be on my own!" Elsword replied,his fists clenched and crimson eyes shining with determination.

"Els,we're a team" Chung said placing a hand on his shoulder, "We should help each-other become stronger, each-one-teach-one you know?" He gave him a reassuring smile "I couldn't have became a Deadly Chaser with a modified Destroyer without Eve's help for instance."

"Yeah,same here,my speed comes from training with Rena,you should know best how fast she is. "Raven added. "Just go ask Aisha for advice, if you don't want her to train you or with you"

"Fine, as long as it will get you off my case already!" He started walking towards the house slightly disappointed in himself. One lingering thought still stuck in his mind. "I have to do it on my own,but, what if, I can't, what if I fail and disappoint everyone, what if I disappoint, her" the boy said to himself while opening the front door.

The El-house was a large two floored house provided by the city of Hamel as a reward for the gang's role in re-taking the city. The first floor had a large living room that had a couch,two bean-bags (AN:I have no clue how to describe those bag looking chairs!) a nice low table that was usually used by Eve when a quest would arrive for the El-gang for briefing them and overall planning the quest,or as how Elsword uses it, to prop his feet up on it while watching T.V. Two normal armchairs all facing towards the television. The stairs were directly across from the front door and to the right of them was the kitchen simply separated from the living room by a kitchen counter.

While entering the house, Rena greeted him from the couch, smiling "Done so soon?"she asked while putting the T.V remote down.

"Eheheh,yeah I'm not feeling it today." Elsword gave a fake laugh hoping Rena wouldn't catch on to his gloomy thoughts.

"Els.." Rena turned around on the couch to face him properly. "How long have we been traveling together?" Her tone was serious but not the constricting serious,the kind serious.

"Eh...from the start?" He awkwardly answered slumping his shoulders. "Great, she knows something's up" he thought.

"That's right,now I know something's wrong with you. Why are you trying to hide it?" Her tone was the same,but her eyes looked hurt and Elsword saw that.

"Well...fine I'll tell you." He walked towards the couch and sat down,his elbows on his knees and his face on his palms, he started speaking softly.

"You know how I went through that ritual becoming a Magic Knight right?, Well." The boy took a deep breath and continued. "That's not enough, I'm not strong enough, Raven and Chung both suggested that I ask Aisha for help with my magic but..." He stopped for a while and after a brief sigh he continued "I can't do I ever did was train on my own. You'd always find me just slashing at a tree and getting myself worn out, but I think that's just not gonna cut it anymore but you know, all my life I worked hard to become a Red Knight, all alone. That's how it always was."

Rena placed an arm on his back and reassured him. "Els,you're no longer alone,the guys didn't tell you to ask for help because you're weak, they told you to ask for it because training in a bad way won't help you get better. Wouldn't it be better if you knew for a fact that you're training your magic the right way,rather than doing it wrong and getting yourself hurt, not that ever stopped you but, think of what we,your friends would feel if you went and practiced your magic and got hurt in the process, especially think of Aisha. I mean she's a mage,how'd she feel like if you went and did something like that without at least asking for advice?"

"Yeah,you're right Rena! It's just advice right? The training I can do on my own!" his head perked up and his spirit rose. "I'm going to ask Aisha right now for advice!"

Elsword climbed the stairs towards the second floor which had the gang's bedrooms and Aisha's went to the first door on the right and started knocking...once...twice. "How odd,she isn't answering." Els thought while he knocked for the third time,even louder than the first two and he heard shuffling from the other side,a clicking noise and the door opened revealing a sleepy eyed Aisha wearing a blue pyjama with dark blue snowflakes and small yellow thunderbolts. Seeing the mage with this childish outfit on was new to Elsword, seeing Aisha's bed-hair and childish pj's was different from her usual outfit for sure but, the redhead saw it as cute. Something he never thought he could think towards the small mage. Her voice snapped him out if his thoughts.

"Yeeeeesssss,what do you want Eldolt?" She said in a sleepy voice after which she yawned behind her palm.

"First of all...it's almost twelve o'clock, What we're you doing last night that you were sleeping until now?" Elsword said as he rose an eyebrow at the yawning mage.

"What's it to you? I can do whatever I want with my /yawn/ time." Aisha retorted sticking her tongue out at him. "Anyways why are you bothering me? Did you lose your sword again? Try looking under the couch and lemme sleep!" she sleepily said and tried to close the door but Elsword stopped her.

"Look. Sorry for waking you up. I need help, can I come in?" His tone was serious but his eyes were distant,due to her still-awakening state,Aisha failed to notice that.

"Eh?! H-Help?" the mage stammered and started rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. "Y-Yeah sure you can come in.." She then proceeded to slam the door in his face and loud shuffling noises could be heard from behind the door as Elsword was left there,with a imaginary question mark above his head.

"AISHAAA! YOU SAID I CAN COME IN! WHY THE HECK DID YOU SHUT THE DOOR IN MY FACE!?" Elsword yelled from outside her heard laughter coming from Rena downstairs but chose to think it had nothing to do with him.

"HANG ON A SECOND! I HAVE TO GET READY!"Aisha yelled as well from her own room,while combing her hair and making the bed both at the same time,she was mentally kicking herself for allowing Elsword to see her "sleepy-look".

After a few minutes the door opened revealing Aisha with her hair bound in two pony-tails wearing her usual outfit with the boots being replaced by some slippers.

"Ok now you can come in!" She brightly exclaimed happy that Elsword came to her for help,whatever this might mean she'd be happy to give it to him,sure they might argue from time to time but she knew Elsword never meant what he said because he would always apologize after an had not once shown his soft side to her, she knew better than even Rena who was with him from the beginning of his journey,and he has shown her his serious side,not his happy-go-lucky usual self.

Aisha's room wasn't as girly as she'd appear,her room was neatly arranged with a bookshelf,a clean desk,her bed and even though Elsword had been in her room before,he never did get used to the contrast of the girly Aisha and the organised nature of her room.

"What did you want from me again?" Aisha said while walking towards the bed and sitting on the edge.

"Erm...You're a mage right?" Elsword started talking while sitting on the bed as well.

"Last time I checked, yes I was, what's your point?" Aisha raised an eyebrow at him while folding her arms. "You aren't going to make me magically make something for you again are you? Because I told you last time I am NOT getting you flying boots!"

"No..no.." He softly said while laying on his back in her bed. Her bed smelled of strawberries and he briefly wondered if it was because of her,but he was getting off-track. "I need you to help me with my magic,because, you see, it's not strong enough" Elsword awkwardly scratched his head as he continued. "I can bring up fire balls at will..." And as it to prove he held his hand upwards and a tiny flame came to. For Aisha it didn't matter if she herself could do that,she never saw Elsword's magical fire up close,and having it light the rather dark room due to the fact that she forgot to pull her courtains to let the sunlight in,seemed to mesmerize her,but his voice broke her from her trance. "But, these don't really do much,I can also enchant my sword in fire for extra power while attacking. Anyways my point is, can you give me some advice to practice my magic? Like how to do it right and,stuff?" Elsword clenched his fist making the flame disappear

For Aisha this was new. Elsword never asked for help. He was known for his recklessness, for always diving in and yet, here he was, asking her for advice on how to get better with his magic. However she knew he can't get better at it. But she also knew why he couldn't get better too and of course she'd help.

"Well, Els, how should I put it, you can't get better with magic. Not with your fireballs at least." She slowly touched her arm as if what she was going to tell him was about to be lethal.

"W-what do you mean?" he asked sitting up on the edge of the bed again. "What do you mean, I can't get better?"Elsword repeated.

"Look, you don't have mana, so you can't charge up your fireballs, you have to use something else, that can tap into your strength, your spiritual strength."

She then turned to look at him. The boy was shocked, he had a blank look on his face, for him hearing that he can't get any stronger was something he could not comprehend ,that awoke a memory of his sister,right before she left to lead a mission from which she would never return to him.

"I have to go Els,the men are waiting for me" Elesis broke the hug her brother was giving her. "Don't cry now,I'll be sure to return to you!" She smiled at a younger Elsword," Promise me that while I'm gone you'll get stronger, okay?,I have to go now." And with that, she left. He could barely remember her face, but deep within him, the most frightening thing was by far being weak, if not for him, then for his sister, and now being told that he can't get any stronger with his magic resembled his world being shattered.

"But, there might be another way,something different,something for someone as strong willed as you!" Aisha's face brightened as she remembered something "I got it!" She quickly rose from her bed and turned at Elsword who was still in a daze, grabbing his hand and literally dragging him after her.

They entered her library and Aisha quickly scanned the lower part of a dusty bookshelf picking a book from there, a book from someplace else, in the end having to climb a step-ladder to reach a higher place for a book entitled "Runes:Combinations and Signs" .Now the library was a place where Elsword had never been, granted he always thought it was filled with books like any other normal library, but Aisha's was different. Weird things filled the shelves that ranged from alchemical ingredients to a little globe section with elements inside was simply amazed as he could not comprehend how snow was able to keep, well, snowing, inside a globe,or how fire would keep on burning. The boy absentmindedly walked around the room not looking where he was going until he bumped the step-ladder which Aisha used to reach the higher shelves, causing her to lose her balance letting out a small shriek.

"ELS-!"was all she could manage before she fell backwards into the nothing-ness of the air.

Elsword, hearing her distressed scream instintively looked upwards and stretched his arms out catching her. The girl was lighter than he expected her to be. Aisha's eyes were closed and her hands were curled up into smal fists. Elsword's question regarding her bed was answered ,the strawberry smell DID actually come from her, he was so enchanted by her in his arms that he unconsciously brought his face closer to her's.

Aisha. slowly opened her eyes wondering why hadn't she hit the ground by now, and the first thing she realized was that she was in Elsword's arms,and his face was in close proximity of hers, those two things were enough to make her turn beet red and start flailing her arms around.

"ELSSSWOOORD PUT ME DOOOWN!" Her scream from that close startled Elsword and he dropped her rather unexpectedly.

Aisha got up from the ground,turning away from Elsword a fierce blush spreading across her fac. The girl was trying to calm down her heart which was for some reason beating really fast. Elsword was going through the same kind of experience, his hair rivaling his face in color and his heart going 120 beats per 30 seconds.

"Elsword.." Aisha's voice was like a whisper "Please be carefull around here,these things are magically potent after all." his reply was a simple "uh-huh" accompanied by a dazed face.

"Anyways Els, grab these books and follow me to my room!" She suddenly perked up, grabbed the book she picked from the higher shelf and went on ahead letting Elsword carry some of the biggest books he has ever laid eyes upon.

"Aisha what's up with the books? How are those going to help me get better with magic?" Elsword was dumb-struck,he simply could not wrap his head around how books could get him stronger.

"With magic? They won't help you with that" Aisha stopped herself from giggling at his expression. "They'll help you master something else, something stronger than your level of magic." She confidently smiled and continued "These are rune books!"

"Runes?...what are those?" Elsword was confused,even more so than at first.

Now his expression was so funny to Aisha she couldn't help herself but laugh at him,he was alike a kid who had been given a overly complicated toy to play with.

"I should start explaining then,runes,are alike magic, but you know how, for instance, I have to say an incantation for a spell I'm currently casting right?"

"Right.." he answered urging her with his eyes to continue.

"Well runes are kind of the same thing,only their power is determined not by th ecaster, but by the difficulty of the runes,like, see here." she showed him a simple rune formed of a circle and three horizontal lines."This one is for wind,I can cast all of these,because I've mastered all the elements, you on the other hand have an affinity for the fire type so you can cast those, now this is different from magic because casting a rune doesn't require mana, it requires willpower not just the normal type of willpower either that power is usually obtained through a ritual, but that's going too far ahead. What I'm saying is,you can master using runes to attack and just keep using magic to enhance your blade!"

Aisha gave him a thumbs up and pushed the books into his lap.

"Wait so all I have to do is learn to draw these things and I'll be able to, attack with them?" Elsword raiesed his eyebrow. "It can't be that simple!"

"Look Els,remember that ritual you had to go through to unlock your magic potential?" Aisha's face was serious,and so was her tone.

"Y-Yeah?" Came his reply.

"It's gonna be kinda the same,only, as I said it revolves around willpower so the ritual is more of a test for you rather than simply unlocking your potential in casting these."

"Hey, Aisha?" Elsword turned calm."Can-Can you show me how do you cast one of these?"

"E...erm...sure "Aisha was taken aback by his request. "Let me look for a simple one" Her being a magician granted her the power to summon runes,so this was a piece of cake for the mage.

Taking a deep breath she stretched her arm in front of her and started drawing a circle with her fingers,from the tip of her finger orange glitter seemed to take the shape she was moving her hand in,inside the circle she then drew another circle and on top of that one she drew an X orange dust seemed to solidify and glow brighter and brighter until it evaporated.

"That rune was called "Flash" She stated.

Elsword just stared at her,then at the now dusty remains of the that entire drawing process he couldn't keep his eyes off her, the way her face was shining in the light of the rune captivated him ,and once more he remembered just how many things Aisha did for him during his journey with remembered the first time he casted a fire-ball and thought his hand was on fire, he tried doing the stop,dodge, and roll tactic but the flames being magical, of course they wouldn't go out,he also remembered Aisha laughing about that for three weeks and teasing him non-stop too, it's weird, he thought,"She's always been there with me, everytime I actually asked her for support she's been there. Even if we'd argue at times."

"-word,ELSWORRD! "Aisha yelled waving a hand before him. "Are you even listening to me? "She puffed her cheeks and pouted while folding her arms."I was just saying you,for starters,need to at least familiarize yourself with the concept of runes, so for the next couple of days try reading these" She motioned towards a couple of books, "The fighters who mastered runes were called Rune Slayers, they are close to being extinct now..." Saying that her face took a sad expression but she perked up in just a moment. "Their history is within these books,so you better get familiar with it!"

"Y-Yeah,sorry ,I was remembering how you've always been there for me, whenever I asked for your support you have given me your best. I..just..thank you! "Elsword then hugged her which caused the Elemental Master to gasp and rapidly blush a shade of red close to his hair.

"H-Hey...you..you're welcome! Now go study!" she ushered him out of her room and shut the door.

As soon as he was out she turned her back to the door leaned against it calming her drum-like heart and trying to stop herself from giving a smile worth 1000 watts of energy quicky remembered the ritual Elsword has to go through if he wants to become a Rune a saddened expression made it's way again onto her face,but this wasn't the time for sad thoughts she had to prepare herself for Elsword's ritual,so she had research to do involving that.

Elsword having been kicked out quite literally couldn't help but think "Maybe I took it too far with the hug...Hope she doesn't hate me for that now"he took his new books having been quite intrigued by the new Rune Slayer concept,he set his mind towards becoming one.

"Right, now I have to learn about these guys and also I should at least know some basic fire runes!" He fist pumped the air and mentally thanked Aisha once more for her help.
