Dark Taker
Hello everyone, Umbreon Writer, back relatively sooner then expected. This was actually something I was working on for a few months after running with my Blade Master and my friend's Crimson Avenger. We had gotten started talking about the Elgang's reactions to her as CrA, and my creative mind began running rampant with ideas, and thus this was born. This also takes place as part of both the jobs lore as well as the in game objectives for the jobs.
This is going to be about three chapters long, and yes, I am aware that both Elesis and Raven are OOC. Hope you all enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Elsword, or anything associated with it or KOG.
No one was sure how it happened. Even he wasn't sure, and he still couldn't fight his feelings for her. She was...elegant, yet brutal. Fierce, yet compassionate. He remembered meeting her when he was attaining his swordsmanship once more, and he knew who she was, and her him. It seemed like it had taken place so long ago, but in reality, it had been only a year or so, and he still remembered it.
Raven stepped away from an incoming attack from one of Wally's many soldiers. His memories of swordsmanship were gone, taken away in a current of rage fueled by his Nasod arm, but he was fortunate in that the soldiers were undergoing rigorous training so that they could fight like Velder Knights and carried their manuals. Now, as he continued, his skills were slowly returning, and these fools never stood a chance.
A soldier with a large sword charged from behind, partially weighed down by his armor. 'His sword is heavy enough, combined with his armor and the strength he's likely to put into the strike...easy.' Raven thought quickly, and his analysis proved correct. He sidestepped a downward strike, matching it with his own horizontal one, cutting off his assailant's arm. His would-be attacker reeled back, holding his stump as the limb flailed slightly, his pain put to a merciful end as Raven quickly removed his head.
His first assailant's blade, which was sent towards Raven's spine while his back was turned, was deflected by a slim red claymore, the ring of metal causing Raven to whirl around, his blade at the ready. He was met by the sight of a young, red haired woman in a black outfit bifurcating the soldier, jumping away from the spurt of blood with an elegance. Raven looked down as some splashed onto his metal arm before looking back at the red haired warrior. She swung her claymore slightly to get the blood off before looking over at him, angling it towards him.
He noticed her lower face was being covered by a blood red muffler with Velder's symbol on the ends. Her eyes were green, much like Elsword's, but older, more mature, but exceedingly more dangerous. "Who are you?" She demanded, her posture ready to intercept him should he attack. Raven lowered his blade, meeting her gaze.
"Raven, commander of the Black Crow Mercenary Knights and Sword Taker, ally to the Elsearch group. And you?" The woman sheathed her blade, nodding once.
"Elesis, the Dark Knight of Velder and commander of the Red Knights." She turned to him fully, bowing in accordance when completing her introduction. Raven raised an eyebrow at her attire; an entirely black leather bodysuit, black leather pads protected her torso below her modest breasts. Her arms were lined with glowing red threads, almost as if they were channeling dark energy, the same went for her legs, high black boots traveling up past her knees and stopped barely below her waistline. Along her waist, from under the black leather pads came a long half cape hanging behind her legs, a long cut in the middle, two red studded belts hung from them unused, one directly at her waist, the other at the same area as her knees.
Raven felt his cheeks beginning to color as he saw the bare skin on her front, just along her hips and above her womanhood. Shaking such thoughts from his mind, he noticed her observing him herself. She tilted her head in curiosity. "I heard the Crow Knights were disbanded some years ago."
He nodded stiffly, vividly remembering the reason why. "They were. However, I am the only one who remains, and I shall carry the memory of my comrades and brothers-in-arms with me as I carry on my training." She seemed to smile, though it was mostly hidden by her scarf.
"I am interested in seeing a living Crow Knight in battle." She started to say, most likely issuing a duel, but more of Wally's soldiers had spotted them and were bearing down on them.
Raven turned to face the new opponents, bringing his sword up from his side in a ready position. "Then you shall, as more of these corrupt fools attack." This earned a laugh from her as she tore her claymore out of it's sheath, it's point angled to the floor as she held it to her right, a manner similar to Elsword, he noted. They attacked in tandem of one another, and though they never fought together before, they were fluid in their movements, dancing and weaving about as their blades sliced the air apart, crimson flying and coating the ground and fallen corpses.
The mayhem ensued for minutes, seemingly hours, but in the end, the two stood back to back, their breathing heavy as much of Wally's guards lay dead or dying, blood soaking the ground and the fabric of their clothes, their blades covered in it. The woman turned her head slightly, grinning viciously as she looked at Raven. "You certainly are a good fighter."
Raven looked at her in amusement. "As are you. You surpass many in skill." She straightened, glowing at the praise.
"Your words mean more then you think, Raven." Elesis smirked. They both stood at the sound of another woman calling his name.
"That's Rena. She seems worried. I'm afraid I must go." Raven seemed genuinely sad to leave, and Elesis seemed to share these feelings. Her face fell as Raven turned to go towards the source of the voice.
"Raven." He turned to look at her, and was met by her brushing her lips against his. His eyes widened before she pulled away, a mischievous light in her eye. "Good bye, Raven." She said before leaving herself, turning around just before he disappeared from sight. "Heart taker..." She whispered quietly before dashing away, almost embarrassed at her words.
Hey, hope you all enjoyed. I know it seems a little rough around the edges and/or rushed. I apologize for this but I wanted to get this out. I already have the second chapter in the works, so it shouldn't be too long for this to be updated.
Now, I know this is RavenxElesis, but I want to point out that I am a pure RavenxEve shipper all the way, unless it's Reckless Fist where Rena would be paired with him (I may do a story explaining that, I'm not sure yet).
Until next time everyone, feel free to favorite, follow and review.
And now, Umbreon Writer bids you all farewell!
P.S.
RAVEN AND EVE ALL THE WAY! LET US ALL RALLY BEHIND THE TRUE PAIRING!
