Hello everyone! I do not own Elsword, or the characters of said game. I do, however, ship Elsword and Eve to no end.

Chung and Elesis are currently an experimental pair for me. This is my attempt at seeing how they roll for me. Hope you all enjoy.

!This is a sequel of my story, Relearning the Seraph. IF YOU HAVE NOT READ IT, PLEASE DO SO BEFORE READING THIS!

Also, I claim partial ownership to my format of Seris' story and partial ownership of Cedric, as shared with my boyfriend.

Huge thanks to my boyfriend, who has been supporting me all along the way. And also since I wouldn't have actually gotten into Elsword without him!

We roleplay the Elsword and Eve pairing together, so you might see more of them from me around here.

I have been noticing that for some reason, Fanfiction has been bunching up my paragraphs! If you notice this, understand I do not know how to fix it!

So let's get down to it! Read, Review, and Enjoy!

Eve: Code: Nemesis
Elsword: Rune Slayer

Finding the Blazing Heart

Prologue: Choose Chung, Choose!

'Every single day...I was yours to run to...I know you see me...but you seem to wish you didn't...'

Another fine day in Elrios was welcomed with open arms as the El Search Party rattled around in their home near the forested area of Ruben. The sun shone, wildlife sang, and the world seemed perfectly fine. Well, from the outside...as life was definitely at a strange culmination within the home that housed the adventurers. Probably because of the small love pursuit going on, due to there currently being only one male bachelor left...and three single girls. Well, actually four, but one single girl...didn't seem to be acting on this like the rest.

"Chung, try my cookies!"

"No Chung, try this cake!"

"Chung-g-g-g-g, you promised to eat the chocolates I gave you before they melted!"

"G-Girls please...I really don't want to eat anything sweet right now..."

"You all are insane..."

Elesis stared at the entirety of the speaking group, wondering what was wrong with them as she told them they were insane. Chung just sighed as the other three girls looked over at her; Rena, Ara, and Aisha, in order of speaker. None of the three would leave him alone, to the point where he practically had a harem, and the only one not after him was literally the woman that called them all insane. Elesis, the Red-Haired Knight...Elsword's sister...and a no nonsense woman that, somehow, had a whimsical half to her; she even talked about fairy tales. Right now, however, she was not pleased; she was trying to enjoy breakfast in peace, and instead was having to hear Chung get fawned over. She was so beautiful and always held herself with strong elegance; honestly the White Wolf of Hamel was thankful she was not after him, he would wind up nearly fearful of her if she were.

"Come on Elesis! Aren't you interested in boys even a bit?" Rena playfully inquired.

"I'm interested in cute things and killing demons. Boys don't file into that."

"But...Chung is cute..." Ara murmured.

Elesis simply rolled her eyes and finally gave up on her breakfast, leaving the room. Under constant teasing from her younger brother about when she was going to get married, the subject of love and boys was weird for Elesis; who honestly felt she would never need a man in her life. The line of thought usually annoyed her these days, more so since her brother and Eve had gotten married at the same time as Raven married his long-lost fiance, Seris. The two couples often rotated the duty of taking care of Raven and Seris' young child, Cedric, whom Seris was pregnant with at the time of the attack that had been thought to have killed her. With Elsword and Raven taken, that left no other than Chung for Rena, Ara, and Aisha to have any chance of finding a date within the group. Elesis too, although she didn't care so much; relationships had...never been her forte. This did, unfortunately, mean she could never hear the end of the three girls squalling over Chung...removing the peace she had grown fond of since joining her brother's group.

"Sheesh...does she have to be so mad?" Aisha inquired.

"She left her breakfast..." sighed Rena, picking up the dishes and beginning to clean up.

"I wonder why she has such a vendetta against love..." Ara frowned.

"She's weird like that," came Elsword's voice, as the swordsman walked into the kitchen.

The instant everyone looked at the redhead, Chung took the opportunity to run from the room as fast as he could. Gathering his equipment and such, he made a dash for the door, trying to get out to his missions. There was no such luck however, because Elesis was standing there, arms crossed; blocking his way out. She glared at Chung with a fury in her red eyes as he finally slowed to a stop in front of her, looking at her pleadingly.

"Elesis, you got to let me get out of here. Please, while they aren't looking..."

"You need to pick one. I'm sick of hearing the nonsense," She glared at him and stepped aside, "Get out of here. And figure it out while you're gone, why don't you?"

He gulped, nodding as he rushed from the house, and she left the door, walking back to her room in the house. Chung knew very well that she wasn't kidding...and that he didn't want to mess with her about any of this business. But what was he to do? He didn't want to be with Rena, Aisha, or Ara...he wanted to wait until he found someone he cared about. Someone that wasn't just going to fawn over him like crazy... Someone...kind of like... He smiled a bit and left, going out on his missions before anyone could find him. Soon enough, the house was mostly emptied out except for Raven, Seris, and Cedric whilst everyone else was out. The couple played with their son and time passed on, with everyone returning home to a nice dinner of spaghetti with meatballs, alongside a salad.

"Raven, Seris, Cedric, this stuff looks great!" exclaimed Elsword.

"Looks amazing," Elesis replied.

"Smells nice as well," Eve complimented.

"Let's eat!" exclaimed Aisha, "Chung, you can sit with me. That way Rena can't spill tea on your poor self again."

"Oh come on..." muttered the Red-Haired Knight, "-not this again..."

"I didn't spill tea on him! That was Ara!" cried Rena.

"What? It wasn't me!" protested Ara.

"Nobody cares who it was! Now sit down and eat!" yelled Seris.

Everyone looked at Seris, who had her hands on her hips as she glared at the group. At about the same height as Raven, she looked quite intimidating right now as her hair hung in a ponytail with one of her eyes hidden under a ribbon-bound side of the blond bangs. Raven sat down first, immediately signaling that he was not going to be the one to argue with his wife and the mother of his son on anything. Cedric sat down on Raven's lap, while Eve and Elsword sat down quickly. Afraid to protest anymore, everyone sat down, with Chung being sandwiched between Seris and Elesis. Silence quaked over the table and no one said a further word about any of the matter, at first. Not until Seris broke the silence first.

"This is getting ridiculous. You all need to take a chill pill," Seris stated.

"Right?" Elesis smiled, "Finally someone else says it besides me."

"It is getting rather unsettling," Raven agreed.

Cedric didn't much care about the conversation, as he was too busy eating to really bother trying to. But everyone else was pretty interested...although the three girls being held responsible for this were rather silent and looking down.

"It would be good for Chung to choose one," Eve sighed, laying her head on Elsword's shoulder, "-the noise last night was just too much."

"Agreed. I had to sleep with Eve covering my ears. And even that was nearly hopeless," Elsword sighed.

"Well, thankfully, I told Chung to make a choice. Have you made one yet?" asked Elesis.

At this instant, all pairs of eyes instantly locked on the blond as Elesis glanced at him, and Seris looked down slightly to look at the man on her other side, since Raven was on her left.

"You made a choice?" Seris asked.

"Uh..." Chung slowly tried to gain himself.

No one was going to like this, he was sure...

"Hurry up already," Elesis rolled her eyes.

"Come on Chungy! Say it!" cheered Rena.

"Yeah! Tell them all!" Aisha called.

"You have the final word," Ara reminded him.

"Well...I choose..."

Chung was interrupted by a loud thunk and a yell from Elsword as the boy's leaned chair fell back onto the linoleum floor. Everyone looked over at where the red haired swordsman was supposed to be sitting, diverting attention for a few minutes. Thankful, Chung took a deep sigh of absolutely temporary relief while everyone stared at the distraction.

"Ack!" screamed Elsword.

"Well that was anti-climatic..." murmured Raven.

"Elsword, how many times have I told you to stop leaning your chair back so far?" Eve asked.

"Many times..." he muttered.

Retrieving him back to his chair, the pressuring attention on Chung revived, until the blond swore he was going to just die from being stared at so intently. He couldn't though, he had to say it. He knew this choice wouldn't be approved of; especially not by any of the three girls. Still, he had to do it, and he couldn't deal with this anymore. He needed them all off of him, he didn't want to stir jealousy with any of them. He wanted to be happy, he wanted them to be happy. Not only that, he wanted the house to be okay, but he didn't feel he himself could be happy...unless he chose her.

Maybe that was stupid but...

"My choice...is Elesis."


So uh...thoughts so far? Please review and let me know!
