Hello world. This is the first piece of fanfiction I've written. I'm not exactly a good writer, but I hope it'll at least be bearable.

I've noticed that there are hardly any Elsword fics where pets are featured. So, I decided to write one up on my own. All criticisms and advice are welcome.

If there is enough interest, I'll write more chapters.

Cast:

Elsword – Lord Knight

It has been 6 months since Karis the Succubus Queen has fallen and Wind Priestess Anudran was saved. The El Search Party members have all went their separate ways, agreeing to come back together once again for when fate has decided to introduce a new crisis for them to solve. Elsword had went back to Ruben, having decided to take a break for the time being.

Elsword arose from a night of good rest, as the sun trickles through his window, swimming through the cracks made by his curtains. 7 AM, not a minute earlier nor later. He could have slept in if he wanted to, but his adventures had conditioned him to wake up at 7. Old habits die hard in the end. Elsword gave out a huge yawn as he walked towards his window, parted the curtains, and opened up the framework of wood and glass..

"Good morning world!"

As if to respond his greeting in kind, bird flew off from around his windows having had their morning chirpings interrupted. Elsword then walks toward his drawers, situated across from his bed, and picked up a picture.

It was a picture of the El Search Party, outside of the Sandtilus, taken the day before they all had parted ways. A feeling of nostalgia began welling up as Elsword greets the rest of his lifelong friends in spirit. The red haired knight set the picture back on the drawers and proceeded to clean himself up, putting on a red sweater and white pants, similar in design as what his former mentor Lowe wore. He was a knight at Ruben now, and as a knight, he'll be wearing Ruben's uniform. It's not as sophisticated as his Velder issued outfit that he wore frequently when he was still out on an adventure, but there are no complaints.

Elsword walked down to the first floor of his humble two storey abode and toasted a loaf of bread. As he brought his simple breakfast and a glass of mineral El water to his dining table, he heard a knock on the door.

"Weird, I'm not expecting anyone today..."

Elsword walked to his front door, wonder who could it be. As the knight opened the door, there was no one in his field of vision. Looking to the left and right, he doesn't see any children running off. Doesn't seem like a prank.

"Hey!"

Elsword heard a voice associated with femininity, and childishness.

"I'm down here!"

Elsword then looked down and saw a rather exotic creature. It was a small humanoid looking thing with silver hair and these little fox-like ears with little white fluff balls on them. The creature sported red eyes and had some makeup on around its eyes. It was up to Elsword's knee in height. What's most peculiar is both the outfit it wore, and its 9 silvery tails. The design and patterns had a very foreign look to them that Elsword has never seen before. It was also carrying a small green bag around its collar with swirl marks on it, holding some items in it. Elsword analyzed what he is seeing for a moment and it spoke again.

"Ohohoho~ Are you so captivated by my beauty that you are at a loss of words? Ohohoho~"

Elsword blinked as the creature tilted its head while maintaining eye contact with him, as if scanning his face.

"Hmm, red hair, red eyes, cute face. You must be Elsword right?"

"Erm, yes, I am."

Elsword had seen a lot of things in his adventures, but this was a definite first for him. He didn't really know what to say.

"I have a letter for you. It's really important you know."

The creature dug into its green bag and pulled out a letter. For a bag that looks positively cramped, the latter came out oddly uncrumpled.

Sniff sniff "Something smells delicious! Ohohoho~"

The creature walked inside Elsword's home in a very feminine gait. Focused on the letter, Elsword opened it up and read its contents.

Dear Elsword

How have you been? You may have noticed that this letter was delivered by someone very small.

Her name is Miho, and she is a member of a very rare species native to Fahrmann called the Kumiho.

I know this is a bit sudden, but can you take care of her for the next 3 months? I would've done so myself, but Fahrmann is having a very difficult situation, and the Hann family is needed to resolve it. I won't have any time for her, and you're someone I can trust with her.

I'll pick her up in 3 months time. I'll see you then.

With lots of love

Ara Haan

Elsword took a moment to process everything in his head. A kumiho? He had never even heard of one, much less know how to take care of one. And why is Ara putting responsibility on him instead of someone like Aisha or Rena?

Elsword walked back inside pondering on what to do, and saw Miho sitting on Elsword's chair and eating the toast that he made.

"Hey! My breakfast!"

Miho looked back at Elsword and gulped down, bread crumbs all over her face.

"I'll be in your care! And this will be in my stomach! Ohohoho~"
