Been thinking about doing this story for quite a bit, but been too busy to do so. Now that I have some free time, might as well post it. Hope you all enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Elsword or any of the characters. If I did, there would be more than just the pc game.
Chapter one: Wake-up Call
"Master Seiker, it is time for you to wake up" I faintly hear the butler say. Even so, it's enough to cause me to wake up. I push myself into sitting up and let out a yawn. "It is almost as though you were attempting to sleep in. Did you forget your plans for today?" I look over to him and shake my head.
"Of course not. I was merely... resting my eyes!" I reply as I put on a nervous smile. "Yes, just resting my eyes! I want to make sure I have enough energy." He lets out a small chuckle.
"Very well sir. The event is nearly finished. By the time you finish changing, it should be ready. I will see you there after the food is ready." My butler, Wade, bows and walks out while closing the door behind him. After a moment of sitting in bed, I decide to get up. My attention turns towards my attire for the day, Freiturnier. As I begin putting it on, someone knocks on my door.
"Seta! Can I come in? I have something to show you" my little sister, Suki, says as she continues knocking on the door.
"Just one second Suki" I say as I finish putting on the suit of armor. I lightly tap the tip of my feet on the ground and then walk over to the door. Once I open it, I'm greeted by the blonde-headed girl known as my sister dressed in her black, white and yellow dress. Two drones, black and white, circle around her in a playful way as she giggles.
"Look at them! Mother let them come with me while she's busy with a few things." I smile as I pat the top of her head. She then runs down the hall with the two drones following suit. I leave my room and proceed down the hall till I turn the corner and stop on the middle of the stairs. The people of Hamel are all here, clapping and cheering for me as I make my way down the stairs. I smile and wave as I make it down the rest of the stairs. They all step aside as I walk to the main garden. Waiting for me in the center is my father, King Chung, and my mother, Queen Eve, as well as the rest of our servants.
"The time has come, Seta, for you to accept your weapons" my father says as I walk closer. Next to him on the small table lay two twin pistols similar to his but black. "You have decided to walk the same path as me. As a result, your very own twin shooters have been made. One more thing as well. Hold out your hands." I do just as told.
He puts two black bracelets around my arms. I feel some strange yet familiar power run through them and somewhat into me. "What are these?" I ask. I look at him to see him summon one of his silver shooters in his hand. Wait, how did he...?
"It is a mana bracelet to help you get used to summoning your pistol at will. Once you get the hang of it, you won't need the bracelets anymore." I nod as I look at the bracelets. "Try summoning them now. Concentrate the mana into your hands and materialize your guns." I take a deep breath and relax myself. The mana begins flowing into my hands as both pistols disappear from the table and slowly form in my hands. A smile pops on my face once it does.
Everyone begins cheering again. "Well then Seta, I would like to..." my father stops talking and takes an interest to the sky. I look up to see it... getting darker? What's going on? Dark storm clouds begin swirling around followed by flashes of purple lightning.
"Pardon my interruption sir, but there are demons in the city!" Wade says in a different tone than usual. My father runs out to the main hallway followed by me and everyone else. He stops and stares out the door.
"Eve, come with me." My mother nods as the drones that were with Suki fly over to her. My father then turns his attention to me. "Seta, stay here with everyone else. Do not leave the castle unless I say otherwise." I nod my head and he leaves along with my mother. Wade closes the door and sighs.
"I will go make some tea to calm the nerves of everyone" Wade says as he goes to the kitchen. Not sure if that'll do much, but I guess it's worth a shot.
~Two hours later~
I sit here, stirring the spoon around the cup of tea Wade just refilled. It's been about two hours. Are they okay? The door opens which catches my attention. My father and mother walk through with annoyed faces. I put my tea down on one of the steps and run over to them. "Something wasn't right about those demons..." my father mumbles.
"The aura about them was different compared to the demons of the past. Something is not right" my mother replies. They both look at me once I stop in front of them.
"Seta, I have a very important favor to ask of you." My eyes light up as he stares at me. "I need you to travel to Lurensia, find your way to Ruben and figure out what's wrong with the El Stone. I trust you can carry this out and come back in one piece?" I nod my head as the captain of the Red Knights, Penensio, walks into the castle.
"Sir, the remaining demons are no longer" he says as he sheaths his sword. "All citizens here may return back to their homes." A sigh of relief emits from the crowd of citizens here in the castle. One by one they all leave, leaving only me, my mother, father and Penensio alone.
"Penensio, I want ten Red Knights sent on the next boat to Lurensia alongside Seta." Penensio nods and leaves the castle. "Are you sure you can handle this task Seta?" I nod and give him a reassuring smile. He pats my head and runs his hand through it. "I trust you'll get this done, son."
"He should depart soon in order to solve this matter as soon as possible" my mother says. Both me and my father nod.
~Hamel Docks~
I stand on the boat and look at my mother, father, Suki and the majority of Hamel's citizens. "Are you completely certain you're going to be fine" my father asks.
"Of course. I wouldn't have accepted so calmly if I didn't" I say with a smile.
"When will you come back?" Suki asks.
"Very soon I hope." Her expression turns to a sad one. "Don't worry, I'll be back before you know it."
"I wish you the best of luck dear. Try to avoid strangers" my mother says. I slightly chuckle.
"Will do, mother."
"All aboard!" the captain of the ship says. Seems that's my signal to go.
Before any of my family members can speak further, the citizens begin saying their goodbyes and such. I give them all a wave and smile as the boat starts moving. Soon, the image of them waving becomes so small to the point of nonexistence. I now turn my head to the front of the ship. Lurensia now huh? I wonder what I'll find there.
And there you go, first chapter complete. Feeling confident with this one, though it probably won't be that long of a story for reasons. Anyways, be sure to review and such and I'll see ya for chapter two!
