Summary: (Based off of The Lion King)

Chung didn't want it to end up like this. -"I HATE YOU, CHUNG!"- The war had torn him apart from everyone. -"Great, because I want you to come to war with me,"- A dead Father. -"Don't you think your old man can protect you?"- A soulless Mother. -"I just want my son back right now,"- A cold friend. -"Leave me alone,"- All because of one person.

A/N: Hellooo! Yay new fanfic :D! I can only go on Elsword on the weekends, so this will give me something to do. We're planning on making this kind of long, unlike our other stories. YEEEEEE DEDICATION! So, if you've read the summary, we're basing this off of the Lion King, except that everyone is human. This is also a major AU. Rena isn't an Elf, and Eve isn't a Nasod. Raven is Chung's uncle. Hamel is really snooty and doesn't like the other regions. Raven's friends (Alex and Seris) never died. Aisha and Ara are older than they should be and Aisha is a nun. Yay AUs~

Also, there aren't going to be any OCs here, but we are including NPCs. Anyway, here's the character info: (Age thingy: The age that is mentioned is during the time that Chung is 11)

Elsword: Magic Knight, Age 13

Aisha: Elemental Master, Age 34

Rena: Grand Archer, Age 34

Raven: Veteran Commander, Age 27

Eve: Base, Age 11

Chung: Base, Age 11

Ara: Sakra Devanam, Age 34

Elesis: Pyro Knight, Age 16

Chapter 1

The people of Hamel held their breath as they awaited the news. They had heard that Queen Rena of Hamel was in labour, about to give birth to the future king or queen of Hamel. What would they name the baby? What would the baby look like? Would it be a boy or a girl? Questions flooded the minds of the Hamel citizens. After all, royalty didn't get born often.

The only person, in fact, that didn't seem excited about the new royal baby was Raven. Raven was a Prince and brother of the current king. Raven had always hated his brother. He was a king, successful, General of the Hamel army, married, and now they were going to have a child?! If it was a boy that would mean Raven would lose his spot to the throne because of his stupid brother once again! Why was life so unfair for him?

"Its okay, Raven." Raven's friend, Alex, patted him on the shoulder. "If they indeed do have a son, it'll be alright. You remember the plan, don't you?" Raven smiled at his friend.

"You're right. I'll only have to deal with a few years of pain, and then…" Raven chuckled at the mere idea of it. Even if his brother did have a son, that wouldn't stop Raven from being the King.

Rena grumbled as she was led to her carriage by her husband, baby boy in arms. Although she had just given birth to her first child, her anger with Jun Seiker conquered her happiness.

"You have to understand! The Demons could come any time!" Jun Seiker, King of Hamel, tried to reason with his Queen, Rena.

"Save it, if you think the army is more important than your only son-"

"I'm the General!"

"-then you can go deal with that. Now I'm going to go home and be a real parent to this child," Rena snapped, smiling at the baby in her arms. She then stepped into her green carriage and slamming the door. Rena understood the importance of protecting Hamel, but couldn't Jun ever take any time off, especially for his child? Back when they were young, Rena remembering all the fun times Jun and she shared. But now that he was the General of the Hamel army, they rarely did anything together. She was lucky he was even there when their son was born.

Cheers and screams of joy echoed throughout the streets of Hamel as everyone saw the royal carriage riding along town. Even complete strangers cared about her son more than her husband. In spite of herself, Rena smiled, pushing away the thoughts of Jun, and waved to her subjects.

When Rena arrived at her castle, she found Noel, Jun's best friend, waiting for her. She sighed. Did Jun send him? Probably, she thought.

"Heey Rena~" Noel sang. Noel was always "quite the hippy", Rena would say. He had white hair, despite his young age of 24, and wore white robes, kind of like the ones Romans wore back in the day. He always carried around a ukulele and was constantly smoking weed.

"What do you want?" Rena groaned. The baby started to sniffle, as if it was about to cry. Rena quickly cooed and started to rock him back and forth, causing various giggles to erupt from the child.

"Just seeing how you're doing! So, the baby was born? Is it a boy?" Rena hesitantly nodded her head. "What will you name it?

"Do not worry, I'll think of something." Rena ensured, running up to her room. Her room had green walls and a ceiling 30 feet high, with a diamond chandelier hanging at the top. She had installed a blue crib at the corner of her room a few days ago. It was quite a large crib, with a teddy bear that she had made herself inside, as well as a mobile and canopy hanging over top. She carefully placed the giggling baby inside. She leaned on the rim of the crib, thinking. What name would fit a future king? Suddenly, as Rena spotted the baby cuddle the teddy bear in the crib, she immediately knew. She picked up her child, and said, ever so quietly, "You will now be known as Prince Chung Seiker of Hamel."

Aisha knelt on the pedestal, her hands together in a praying position. This church was her most prized possession. She had statues of various saints around the room, as well as Jesus on the cross at the front of the church. Every Sunday, she held mass here. She was also best friends with Queen Rena, which was why she wasn't surprised when Rena came bursting through the doors of her church, only a week after her son had been born.

"Aisha." Rena smiled, approaching her childhood friend with Chung in her arms.

"Congratulations on the child, Rena." Aisha returned the smile.

"Thanks." Rena nodded. "Jun has been away from home more than usual. In fact, he's only been home once since Chung was born." Aisha grimaced. She had known Jun since she was young. It wasn't like him to ignore his child, and doing so was going against everything she stood for. "I fear they may be something wrong. Aisha, my friend, would you please-?"

"Of course." Aisha smiled. It was the least she could do for her friend, after all.

"Thank you." Rena bowed. "I don't know what would happen if Chung got hurt. As my first and only son, I would wish for him to be protected."

"My magic isn't strong enough to last a lifetime." Aisha warned. "But I trust by the time it wears off, he'll be able to protect himself." Noticing the worried look in Rena's eyes, Aisha smiled. "Don't worry. You and Jun are both excellent at combat; you'll teach him well."

"How long do you think the spell will last?" Rena asked.

"By the time he's a teenager, it will wear off completely." Upon hearing this, Rena almost fainted. Her child was only safe until he was 13?! But she didn't complain. She knew that even Aisha had her limits. The Grand Archer nodded, and handed the child over to Aisha. Aisha examined him. Beautiful pure blue eyes stared up her as the child struggled to find out who she was. He was already growing bits of blonde hair and he was wrapped up in a white robe. He faintly reminded her of Noel. She couldn't help but smile as Chung pulled the purplenette's pig tails.

Aisha placed Chung on the ground and drew her staff. Rena stood by hopefully at Aisha's side. Aisha concentrated all of her pure energy. She took in the lovely atmosphere and love Rena had for her child. She focused all of her talent and elemental magic as her staff began to glow. Brighter and brighter the staff grew with blue light, and Aisha felt herself grow weaker and weaker. Finally, when her powers were at its limits, she passed all the strength and energy from her wand onto Chung. Rena gasped as a bright blue light swallowed the room momentarily.

Aisha felt drained. She didn't have any more power left in her. As she began to feel drowsy, she quickly muttered, "That's done." The last thing she heard was Rena stammering several "Thank you!"'s and the hurried footsteps as she dashed out of the church.

When Rena arrived home, she did a little happy dance. How thankful she was that Aisha had blessed her own baby and casted a protection charm upon him. For Rena knew that there would be tough times ahead. She knew that this would be the most difficult time for Hamel, and her family. She only wished that Chung could have been born at a different era.

A few months had passed since then, and Rena had grown more cheerful. After a heated argument between Rena and Jun, Jun had appeared home more often. He had taught Chung how to walk, and Rena couldn't be more proud. He had even started to murmur little words like "Mama", "Dada", "Noey" (Noel was at tears when he heard this. "What an honour!" he had exclaimed), and "Boom!" Rena only partially minded it when Jun announced that Noel would be living with them. After all, Noel and the baby got along as well as Michelangelo and Raphael.

One day, while the King of Hamel was at work, Rena took Chung outside.

"We're going to meet a new friend."Rena told Chung, who clapped his hands together in response. He hadn't quite mastered walking yet. Only little wobbles and crawls. When they reached the top of a hillside, they waited. Chung sat blankly in the long, green glass. His hair was longer now. The blonde hair, inherited from his mother, was a bit spiky, and had brown tips. The blue eyes, inherited from his father, shone with curiosity. Today, the royal Prince was wearing white robes, the same ones he wore when Aisha cast the protection spell on him. "It's a special occasion!" Rena had told him. Of course, Chung had no idea of what had happened then. He barely had any idea what was happening now.

Suddenly, from the distance, Rena spotted another childhood friend; Ara, accompanied with her child.

"Greetings, Queen Rena' the Sakra Devanam bowed. Rena giggled at the formality. When she and Jun had first got married, Ara had always teased her on being "royal". Rena sighed in contempt at seeing her friend again. Rena and Ara had been friends for so long; they forgot how it even started. Rena remembered learning to ride a bike with Ara, going to camp together, training together, attending high school together, going to dances together, and eventually, getting married. Along with Ara and Rena were Aisha, Jun and Noel. While Jun and Noel weren't that great friends with the girls, all five of them formed the perfect circle of friends. And now, it was going to happen all over again. Their kids would become friends as well, then their kids kids, and so on. Their friendship would last generations.

"Hi Ara." Rena greeted, smiling. As Ara placed her child down next to Chung, Rena immediately wrapped the brunette into a hug. It's been awhile, Rena thought.

"How's Chung?" Ara asked, once the two friends broke away. Rena glanced at Chung and Eve, Ara's child, playfully slapping each other.

"He's wonderful." Rena laughed. "Jun wants him to learn combat soon. I do not think it's a very good idea, though."

"Why not?" Ara asked. "Remember, he should be fairly skilled in combat by the time he reaches 13."

"I don't think a baby running around wielding a canon would be such a good idea." Ara laughed, "Besides, he isn't even 1 year old yet! We have plenty of time." Rena protested.

Ara switched to a serious expression. "If you keep saying that, you'll regret it when it's too late." Ara warned. Rena sighed.

"Yes, I know. But for some reason, I have a feeling training plus the spell won't be enough to protect him." Rena frowned. Though Chung was playing peacefully with his new friend, Eve (Rena didn't understand at all why she had silver hair, when her mother had dark brown), now, Rena feared greatly for his future.

Raven groaned as he entered an abandoned alleyway in Bethma. He had come all this way from Hamel, only to be greeted by nothing.

"Sorry we're late, Sir." Alex cried, Ran and Seris following suit. Raven smirked. Finally, they were here!

"Took you long enough. You know how many boats I had to take to get here?" Raven growled.

"It took you only 1." Ran stated. Raven face palmed.

"Whatever. Anyway, you remember the baby my brother had?" Raven said. Since his friends lived all the way in Bethma, and they weren't allowed to even visit Hamel, they didn't receive any news coming from Hamel, so Raven had to deliver it. His friends nodded. "Turns out the baby is a boy, which means more trouble for us." Several groans erupted from his friends. "Enough! You need to take this seriously!" Raven snapped. How dare his team, his friends, the ones he grew up with, act so childish!

"Does this mean we're going to execute the plan?" Seris asked.

Raven smirked. "Yes, it does. But it'll take years of preparation. That's why I'm telling you this now. And when we do execute the plan, my brother won't know what hit him. One way or another, I will have my revenge."

A/N: That's it! It's a bit short compared to the chapters I usually write, but since it's only a first chapter, I think things will be fine. As you can see, we'll be adding some original parts here and there to this story, so it's not that predictable. Ohhh, I'm so excited! ~

Noel: Yay! I'm finally in a story~

Elsword: Good for you *rolls eyes*. Now where am I in this?

Zenya: You won't appear until a couple of chapters, as well as Elesis.

Raven: Why am I so mean? D:

Zenya: Technically, you haven't done anything mean yet.

Aisha: Why am I a nun? ;~;

Zenya: Because you are! Now stahp with all the stupid questions and LET THE GENIUS PLOT UNFOLD~

Chung: I don't get it. If the story is about me, why am I a baby?

Zenya: Because you age over time, DUH!

Eve: A-ara is my mother?!

Ara: That's so wrong on so many levels…Who's the father, anyway?

Zenya: There is none :D

Everyone else: o.o

So please, tell us what you think! (Kayuki lost her laptop privileges temporarily, so that's why I'm writing the first chapter, if anyone is wondering). R&R PLEASE!
