Intertwining Roads 2
Elsword laughed. "That's a first!" Aisha looked curiously at him. "What do you mean?" "Well I've been called... A lot of bad names, but Elbaka is a first." He chuckled a bit. "I'll have to give you that one, it's pretty funny." Aisha relaxed. Then she suddenly remembered the whole stealing heart thing and she turned red once again. "You were lying right?" Elsword, who was still thinking about the name calling, look up from his laughing and said, "What? No, it really is funny." Aisha shook her head, he probably forgot all about what happened. At least, now she was sure he was lying. He probably just saw her as a little toy to mess around with. Yet as she remembered him talking to himself, he had seemed genuinely sad. She decided to ask him. "Hey Elbaka, did you-" she was cut short by a large explosion, and she ducked really low. "AHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhh...?" Her scream got quieter when she realized that Elsword wasn't screaming. "Huh?" Suddenly, out of the black smoke, a guy with a streak of red in his long black hair stepped out, wielding a badass sword and one arm made out of metal. Woah, backtrack a bit, did I say metal? I meant an awesome Nasod arm. Yup. His sword was black and had streaks of orange and red on it, and a bit of silver too. It was jagged, and he held it in his right arm, the one without the metal implanted in it. His Nasod hand had a gaping orange circle on it and it's talons were wickedly sharpened. Upon looking at where the smoke was coming from, Aisha quickly noticed that the metal orange hole was where he had caused the explosion. After that, she switched modes. "REALLY? YOU TOO? AFER ELBAKA OVER HERE SLICED UP SOME TREES YOU COME OVER HERE AND DESTROY MY-" Once again, her sentence was cut short, this time from a stifled laugh from the unknown character. "El... El... Elbaka?" The newcomer giggled, something that looked really weird coming out of this guys mouth. "El... HAHAHAHAHAHA!" He started barking with laughter. After a full minute, he stopped and wiped his eyes. "Where'd you pick up this gem?" Elsword stared at him. "Raven, what in the name of Henir are you doing here?" Raven... He was the name of the mysterious man. "Welllllllll, I am your only friend, and plus you said you were going to train, and I am Veteran Commander, soooooooooooooo, I thought I was gonna help you and then... I see you here with this pretty lady," To this, Aisha blushed, "and now I'm thinking you're doing something MORE than training so... Shall I take my leave?" Before any one of them could utter a word, a sharp voice pierced the air. "AISHAAAAAAAAAAA!" And a green haired elf burst into the clearing. "WHERE THE HECK WERE-" her voice was lost when she set her eyes on the golden eyed Raven, and she fell silent. Raven stared at Rena with interest. "And what's your name, princess?" His voice scratched. Aisha and Elsword fell silent and moved a bit away from them so they could have personal space. "R-Rena... You?" "Raven." While Rena and Raven started talking to each other, Elsword whispered, "What the what? Raven never acts like this! I've never seen him so flustered and so...So..." "In love?" Aisha offered. "EXACTLY!" Elsword agreed. "I totally ship you guys!..." Aisha blurted out loudly. Rena and Raven turned around simultaneously. "AISHA!" Rena yelled, as if she had just noticed Aisha was still there. "Why are you still here! Go back to our room!" Rena spoke, flustered. Aisha looked at her weirdly. "Wait aren't you coming back too?" Aisha asked. Rena pulled her aside. "Look, do your best friend a favour, do you see that guy? Raven? Well I haven't met a guy like him in forever... He really... Gets me..." Rena blushed. Aisha looked at her only friend, her best friend, and looked at Raven. As much as she wanted Rena to go back to her house with her, Aisha couldn't deprive her friend of such a good chance of true love. Aisha was about to ask her for the keys when Rena tuned back and started chatting with Raven again. She sighed, she would work it out when she got home. Elsword, on the other hand looked at Aisha with a sideways glance. "I live with Raven too... Since they're so busy chatting each other up, why don't I walk you home?" The purple haired princess blushed. Why did her heart skip a beat every time she heard his voice? She was soul-less for Henirs sake why did she feel this way? Suddenly she remembered Angkor. "Yeah sure, but first I must call on my familiar, since I think I left it hanging for too long at the clearing. ANGKOR!" She yelled. "Yes princess?" His voice came. He stopped short when he saw Elsword and the rest. "Who are these lowly people, princess?" Before Aisha could answer, Elsword butted in. "ARE you the familiar that claims to own MY princess' soul?" Angkor looked at him angrily. "FIRST OFF, Aisha-sama is not YOUR princess. Secondly, yes, her soul belongs to me. In a way, it's like she is MINE!" Angkor huffed. "ANGKOR STOP! He's not an enemy!" Aisha pretended to not have heard him call her his princess, but her heart skipped a beat. Angkor glared at Elsword, and puffed away in a purple smoke. Aisha swung her staff over her shoulder and looked at Elsword. "Well now that we got that over with, let's start walking!" She said, feigning cheerfulness. Elsword looked at her. He swore that he would get her out of the contract, no matter what.
