It's been a year now since all the evil had been destroyed in Elrios. Elsword and Rena were married and lived happy. The knight still asked himself why Raven wanted to kill him a rather long time ago. The elf and the young man had their own house close to the woods, a place Rena loved.
One day Elsword went to Hamel's prison. He wanted to ask Raven for his reason to kill the young knight. He felt reliefed to be safe while talking to the imprisoned Raven.
The black-haired looked at Elsword like he still wanted him to die. "Why did you try to kill me? I don't understand ...", the red-haired said. "First, we were all in great danger because of you! Second, how would a beautiful woman like Rena love an immature little boy like you?! You don't derserve her love, she is too good for you! We were falling in love and then you ruined everything!", Raven replied angry.
Although the man was locked away, he tried to reach the young knight with his nasod arm. Elsword took a step backwards but still Raven succeded in wounding Elsword. There now was a rather deep cut on the right side of his waist. The red-haired clutched at his wound and leaned backswards against the wall. Something was wrong, Elsword was used to getting wounded but his vision went all blurry. He didn't lose that much blood that he wouldn't be able to see normally.
Raven pushed his cell door open and stepped out. "The Black Crow is still working for me, you know?! If you survive you can consider me your enemy! If not, great; then I can do what I want!", the black-haired said with a grin. "P ... poison ...", Elsword managed to say. "Correct! Now now, I'll go ang get Rena!", Raven replied and laughed. He took the young man's wedding ring and walked away.
Elsword felt worse the more time went by. He knew Raven had planned something terrible and he, himself, had to do something; but the poison was strong. It was hard for the red-haired to stay awake. "I can't let him do this! I can't give up now! I got to get up and save Rena ...", he thought. Slowly Elsword sat up. He closed his eyes and leaned against the wall. He took a deep breath, then he slowly got up. "I'm standing now ... but I feel so dizzy ... My vision is still all blurry, but I have to hurry up!", the knight thought and started to walk through the hallway. Every three step he had to stop and lean against the wall again to keep standing. "Damn it! That poison ... It's strong ... but I can't give up! Rena needs my help ... but I have to find an antidote to the poison ...", Elsword thought and blinked several times to get his vision clearer again and it worked. The young man felt a little stronger again and continued walking.
The more he walked the worse he felt again but he didn't stop. Elsword left the jail and walked to the city's alchemist to get an antidote.
After Elsword felt better he ran home and searched for Rena. The elf was preparing lunch, she was absolutely fine. "Raven wasn't here ... that's good! But now I got to be careful!", the red-haired thought. Just now the green-haired noticed her husband standing behind her in the room. "Oh, hi! Lunch is almost ready", she said with her usual warm smile. Rena walked over to Elsword and kissed him, then she continued finishing lunch.
"Where have you been? Did you walk to the city?", she asked. "Yeah ... I was in the city ...", Elsword said and stared out of the window. Rena turned to her husband and asked: "What's wrong, dear?" The red-haired looked at his wife. "I went to talk to Raven ... he broke free and went away, I don't know where he is at the moment ... He planned something I know it ... and it has something to do with you ... But don't worry, I will protect you!", he answered. "But why didn't you catch him there already?", Rena asked. Elsword sighed then he replied: "He poisoned me ... but I used an antidote, please don't worry!"
The red-haired continued to look out of the window. The elf just stared at her husband, then she continued getting the lunch done.
"You said he poisoned you ... Please let me take care of the wound!", Rena said as she finished getting the food ready. The knight nodded: "Okay ..." The elf looked at the wound, a pretty deep cut on the right side of his waist, caused by Raven's nasod hand. She cleaned the wound, used some medical herbs on it, so it would heal better and bandaged her husbands waist. "The wound is rather deep ... thanks to the herbs it should heal faster but you shouldn't fight! It stopped bleeding but it'll break open again if you fight ...", Rena said in a worried tone. Elsword nodded. "But anyways when Raven's here I will fight him! I have to protect you!", the red-haired thought.
