Hello everyone! This is a companion story to my Elsword story series consisting of Relearning the Seraph and Finding the Blazing Heart.

Relearning the Seraph is story one of the series, mainly an ElsEve. It gives the main premise that the series is founded on, as well as why Seris is alive.

Yes, Seris is alive. Relearning the Seraph explains why, but this story gives an inklet of a hint too.

Finding the Blazing Heartis the second story in the series and is a relationship between Chung and Elesis. It also contains a Pichu.

This story is easier understood by reading both stories. Both of stories contain the relationship between Seris and Raven, with their son Cedric. This story mainly focuses on the relationship within that miniature family. It is told entirely from Cedric's view. Because of this, the story does have a childlike language and storytelling format.

Please understand this if the language seems a little estranged.

I do not own Elsword or its characters. But I ship Elsword and Eve, Raven and Seris, and Chung with Elesis.

I own my conceptual format of Seris; including her class I made called Body of Light. My boyfriend and I share joint ownership of Cedric.

Please enjoy and review!

Eve: Code: Nemesis
Elsword: Rune Slayer
Rena: Wind Sneaker

Story 1: The Relation of Aging and Weirdness

'My family is weird. I blame aging. Oh well, they're the best though!'

"Hey mommy?"

"Ceddy, sweetie, its your bedtime."

"But mommy...I have an important question..."

So maybe I have a bit of a way with words despite my youth. But that's because my mommy is really, really smart. She's also a really good teacher. Plus we've been around many, many people during our time in the forest place. I liked it there! However, it is a lot nicer here with my mommy, daddy, and their friends. Two of them have been appointed as my aunt and uncle. I don't know exactly what that means, but mommy says its family, and that she'll teach me the words in due time. Family is really special; a group of people related or unrelated that watch out for one another and take care of each other. She says that's what everyone we live with is; a special family. That makes me really happy, because back in the forest, she and I only had one another as family. More family is better, right? I think so!

"Alright honey, what is it?"

"Why do you and daddy fight with those large metal things?"

"Swords, you mean? Well your daddy is trying to help mommy become stronger so that I can help him, and the group here, better in defending the world."

"You're going to save the world, mommy?" I cried in excitement.

She laughed softly, "Not alone sweetie. Your daddy, aunt, uncle, and all the rest too."

"You promise mommy?"

"I promise Cedric, I promise."

"Yay! Thank you mommy. I love you."

"Mommy loves you too sweetheart. So does Daddy," She smiled, glancing over to where my daddy slept beside her.

I usually sleep on top of my mommy, but sometimes I sleep on top of both. Tonight, its a both kind of night. I have a very strange family, but they're all really special to me. Besides, I think they're probably weird because they are all older than me. I'm almost four, but mommy says everyone here is much older than me; some even by four times. I asked her what four times means, but she says that's something called multiplication that I'm not ready to learn yet. I wonder if that means I have to learn when I get older like my aunt and uncle...or maybe as old as my mommy and daddy. I'm sure she'll tell me sometime.

"Mommy?"

She sighed, "Sweetie..."

"I know mommy, I know! But mommy, I want to hear a story."

"A story. Hmm...what kind of story?"

"Tell me one about you, mommy. Please...?"

"Hmmm...well. Have I ever told you that you're a miracle?"

"A miracle! What's a miracle mommy?"

"A miracle is a very good thing that is usually unexpected and typically against general explanation. You see sweetie, mommy wasn't supposed to be alive to have you. In fact, I wasn't awake for most of the time I carried you."

"Mommy, how did you carry me in your arms if you weren't awake?"

"You weren't in my arms honey. It's a long story, I'll explain some other time. Anyway, when I think about it, I suspect someone must have been taking care of me during the time; I calculate that I was sleeping for about five months before you woke me up."

"That's a long time to sleep Mommy. Were you lazy? And I woke you up?"

"Yes sweetie, Mommy was lazy," She giggled a bit, "-you were ready to be what's called born. Which is miraculous for you to have been born, because Mommy wasn't supposed to live."

"I'm glad you lived, Mommy! I bet Daddy is happy too!"

"Yes, Daddy is happy," came a slightly ruffled voice, mostly sleepy.

"Daddy!" I cheered.

He rubbed his eyes a bit with the hand that's kind of like Mommy's, and not the strange large one that has metal on it. Ruffling his black hair, he looked at me with soft smile as his gold eyes blink a few more times. Apparently Mommy and I woke Daddy up! He chuckled softly, sitting up slightly to press his lips to my mommy's cheek, and then my head.

"What's wrong, my favorite two people in the world? Can't sleep?" he asks.

Mommy giggled gently, "Ceddy is being rather restless. He asked me to tell him a story about me, so I told him about his birth being a miracle since I shouldn't have been alive for it."

His smile left his face slightly, a blank look over him for a bit. Mommy patted his shoulder though, and like magic, Daddy was okay again! I was glad too, because Daddy looks weird when he stops smiling. It makes me feel really sad, but then I feel better when Mommy fixes it.

"That's a nice story Seris," He replied finally.

"Yes, well I thought he'd like it. I was actually just recalling our reunion, Raven," She answered.

"Mommy, what's a reunion?"

"It's when two or more people that haven't seen each other in a long time meet back up,."

"Oh I see!"

"Alright Ceddy, honey, you need to go to sleep."

"What Mommy said. It's late."

"Okay Mommy, okay Daddy."

But even as they go to sleep, I cannot help but continue thinking about everyone. There are quite a few people around her; Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Eve, Uncle Elsword, Mister Chung, Miss Ara, Miss Aisha, Miss Elesis, and Miss Rena. Mommy taught me to be very polite to everyone, so she has me call everyone either with my family titles or with the Mister or Miss thing in the front. She says she'll teach me more about it someday. When my mommy and I lived in the big forest, we traveled with two people that were a couple like my mommy and daddy. She had me call them Miss Lady and Mister Liam. I don't understand why the lady's name was Lady but they went away from my mommy and I a lot. I once asked Mommy why they went away a lot, but she got very red in the face when we heard a lot of strange noises from where they went. Mommy finally told me that sometimes small groups of people go off to have some fun by themselves. I asked her what they did for fun, but Mommy gave me a shrug. When I asked her what that meant, she said that people do it when they don't know the answer to something, are confused, or don't want to respond.

"Mommy?" I whispered, "Are you awake?"

She's not. Oh well...

It has come to my attention through my many events with my mommy and daddy, as well as everyone in the house that anyone older than me...is weird to me. I blame age for my view on this, but that is okay. I like being young, it's just that everyone older than me is crazy, weird, funny, and still really awesome. That makes me happy though, because then everyone I meet is different, and I think that's really special. Besides, everyone in this house is really nice to me...even when they're being weird. Mommy and Daddy are really great, and I'm really glad they got to have their reunion. Mommy was always having moments where she was sad back in the forest, but she never looks so sad with Daddy beside her anymore, especially when the three of us are with all of the others. I really love my family! Even when they argue with each other, do silly things, and be goofballs. Or vanish randomly.

I love them all.

Even if they are all very weird...I blame age.

I'll continue adding anecdotes to this as I find them in my writing soul.

Until then, you can find more of Cedric in Relearning the Seraph and Finding the Blazing Heart.

Hope you enjoyed and will review!
