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

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.

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

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

Eve: Code Battle Seraph

Chapter 2: Forged

"Excuse me," She called a bit, "-are you Elsword?"

It took Elsword a moment, as he turned to face Eve at the call of her voice, to remember that this Eve did not have access to the same mindset as the one he had fallen in love with. She didn't have access to the emotions and memories. He knew, in fact, that she wouldn't have even known his name if not for that letter that her previous code had left. Her eyes were dull, cold, staring...

"Yeah. That's me," He answered her, trying not to show the pain he was feeling in his heart at all of this.

"I was ordered to locate and stay around you," Eve stated, approaching him.

He watched her walk to him, beginning to wonder just what in the world had been in that letter Eve wrote herself. Elsword waited though as the changed woman walked towards him, striding the hallway path like a majestic queen. Her shoes clicked on the floor as she came towards him; her hair flowed with an extraordinary length behind her, almost like some soft, silvery cape she had put on. Quietly, she held out her hand to the red haired swordsman, holding the Electra's crown to him.

"Here. I was ordered to make sure you received this."

"I-I see..." He murmured, accepting the crown.

His eyes misted a bit as he looked at it, to where the Eve now standing before him tilted her head. She was confused to his emotional appearance, as she did not understand it. Of course she didn't... So she just stared at him, her golden gaze slightly burning as she did. It came to a point where Elsword became discontent, and looked at her.

"Uh...are you okay?"

"I am fine. Are you functioning properly?"

"Ah..." Elsword sighed as he processed the way she said that, "-yeah, I'm...functioning just fine."

"Good. I was ordered to ensure your well being. I will therefore do so. Affirmative?"

"Yeah...affirmative," He responded, looking at her in silent awe and yet confusion.

She stared at him again, "Elsword. You look tired. Go sleep."

"I don't want to," He answered her, smiling a bit as he then proceeded to walk down the hall to the kitchen.

"Elsword."

"Yes?"

"Go sleep. You look tired."

"I'm fine, Eve," he replied, halfway whining in some function of annoyance.

It thus came to no surprise as he was then dragged to his room, and effectively placed on the bed. Despite Elsword's fervent protests, none of which were answered to, he managed to melt into the bed upon understanding just how tired he was. Then again, he also didn't have much choice as Eve stood guard there, ensuring he would not be able to leave even if he tried to.

So he fell asleep and Eve lie herself down on his floor, deciding that going back to her room would fail the orders she had been left by her previous code; to watch over Elsword. So she stared at the ceiling of the dark room, pondering it, and her missions. Which were few to none. Watch Elsword, find El, and revive her race. Something to that effect. She looked up at the sleeping redhaired boy, wondering what her previous code had meant about half of the things she had said. Love? What in the world was love? She decided, despite a pain that rose in her chest again, that she didn't need to know what it was. It was not important. It was not in her needs. He was her ally, that was all there was to her need to know basics. Initiating her sleep then, she fell asleep there on Elsword's floor. Slowly, but surely, the house containing them began to come to silence as well; as the others began to lie down and sleep as well.

Raven, however, didn't really head to bed as everyone else did. His eyes were closed as he leaned against a wall of his darkened room, knowing night had fallen sometime ago. He listened to the shuffles throughout the spacious home as people laid down for the night. And he knew he should do the same. He knew that much, that was obvious, but Raven found that he couldn't. Of course not...he was thinking about her again. The blond that still had his heart, but had lost her life while saving his. Sinking against the wall as he thought about it, he wondered if he would ever get past the pain her death had left him in. But she had suffered more pain...they had murdered her for God's sake! He felt himself grinding his teeth as a few tears streaked his cheeks, before the oddest feeling stirred in his heart. Grunting a bit in some bitter form of sadness and upset, he walked to his window, where he saw a light moving through the forest.
"Eh...?" He murmured, "What in the...?"
Watching a bit longer, he realized that it was a lantern once he looked closing and saw a young woman running through the forest. It was too dark to make out most of her futures, outside of the tall and endowed silhouette. She was moving quickly, yet carefully, looking in many directions. Watching her, Raven found himself entranced for a moment. Who in the world was she? Eventually, he decided that maybe he was imagining things, so he went to lay down finally.

Lay down to the nightmares where he was haunted by her death...

Upon the morning dawn, birds sang Elsword awake, where he yawned tiredly. The first thing on his mind was Eve, and he prepared to leap out of bed to go find her and give her a good morning kiss, as it failed to occur to him that Eve had changed last night. However, he quickly remembered upon sitting up, and seeing his beloved on the floor of his room. Oh right...she wasn't the Eve he knew anymore. A deep frown came over his features as he looked down where she was, noticing the phoenix necklace sparkling on her neck. Still and perfect as she slept, Eve was beautiful...she was a queen...she was without her memories of him...or the emotions to handle such memories. Wait...why the hell was she on the floor of his room? Why hadn't she gone back to her room?

"Eve...? Hey, Eve! Wake up!"

"How dare you disturb my rest?" She opened her eyes, glaring up at him.

"Uh...sorry. I was confused as to why you were sleeping...on my floor!"

"I am to watch over you. Going to my room to sleep defeats that purpose."

Elsword just gave her a look and then huffed, "Right. I forgot. Would you mind leaving though, for now? I have to change my clothes."

"Understood," She stood and exited the room, heading out to the kitchen.

Rena and Ara were there, sitting at the table with a plate of scrambled eggs for each of them. Eve stared at them for a long moment, listening intently to their conversation while they were unaware of her presence. She wasn't so sure of their names in her state, so she considered them an endowed blond and the black haired strange girl she had seen last night. Maybe they'd say their names if she listened for it long enough.

"Hey Ara, do you remember the time that Elsword fell off of that huge clifftop at Bethagara Falls? He was screaming so much, and for a good reason," Rena stated.

"I know, Rena. Good reason indeed though, that's a high drop," Ara frowned a bit, "Good thing Eve caught him."

"I wonder if she still would now..." Rena sighed.

"I would," Eve stated, walking in now that she knew their names, "I have been ordered to watch out for him."

'Apparently he's a clumsy one,' Eve thought to herself.

"Eve!" yelped Ara.

"Seriously," the nasod murmured, "-why do you yell?"

"Wait, ordered?" inquired Rena, in curiosity.

The elf was completely ignoring the events as Ara began to profusely apologize again for her loud voice. Eve just watched both of the strange girls for a minute, trying to pull any data on them. None was left however, except for her previous code notifying her that the people living in this home were her friends. Despite the numerous cliffnotes along with the main note, Eve was not having an easy time dealing with these things her former code had left. Including these people...

"I was left an ordnance from my previous code," Eve responded.

"O-Oh, I-I see..." Rena replied.

The elven archer realized she had no idea whatsoever of how to handle this Eve. None. She didn't know how to deal with her new attitude and mentality. It felt sad to her though, and the dullness in Eve's nearly emotionless eyes nearly broke her heart. She could only manage to barely imagine how Elsword was feeling about this, she was sure it was even harder for him. He had loved Eve so deeply in his heart after all. Ara wasn't quite so sure what to say anymore either as she looked at Eve. The sharpness of her outfit and the regal nature of it was so out of Eve's former natures that it was hard not to be intimated. Yet everyone in the house knew this was what Eve was supposed to be, even Aisha as she entered the kitchen. Yawning and stretching, she waved at everyone happily.

"Good morning Eve, Ara, Rena!"

"Good morning, Aisha, did you sleep well?" replied Rena.

"How are you this fine morning, Aisha?" asked Ara.

"Hello. Are you functioning well?" was the inquiry from Eve.

Everyone, for a moment, looked at Eve in confusion. Aisha just sighed, having expected that much from Eve though. Rena and Ara frowned softly, turning back to their eggs as their mage friend began to respond to the questions. What could she do? Stand there and let everyone be puzzled by Eve's lost state. After all, it wasn't Eve's fault she was like this, it had been something she needed to do. Besides, Elsword was suffering more from it than any of them.

"I slept great, I feel great, and I am functioning just fine," Aisha answered happily.

"What is all this talk about functioning?" grunted Raven as he entered the kitchen.

Dark bags under his eyes and an exhausted look on his face, everyone felt the room grow just a little more gloomy. Clearly he hadn't slept so great last night, and everyone knew why too. Everyone wished they could help him too, but there was no one saving Raven from self torment...except Raven himself, at this rate. Rena, Aisha, and Ara said nothing, as two of them put their dishes away while the other began making eggs of her own. Eve, however, looked at Raven with a completely emotionless face. She then proceeded to speak up to the taller man that had just entered.

"The talk came from me. Are you functioning well?"

"No," Raven replied, walking to get a slice of bread, in order to toast it.

Eve said nothing in response to this. Finding that she lacked the need for some food, she proceeded to just stand, leaning on a wall. She found that it was simpler than going near these people that she did not understand. Rena set to doing the dishes, while Ara sat back down at the table, and Raven finally started buttering his finished toast. It was around this point that Elsword entered the kitchen, followed by Chung. Spotting the emotionless, stone faced Eve against the wall, the protector of Hamel found himself looking at Elsword. In fact, Elsword received the glance from just about everyone else too, even Raven despite the man's sleepless state. It was a look of mourning, support, and a passage of hope. Urging Elsword to go on, and hang in there. Letting him know they were there for him. It was a look of both mourning and hope. The redhead looked at Eve for a moment, then smiled at her despite her emotionless onset. He felt a bit renewed by everyone's support and hope for him. He felt like he could try too, no matter how hard it got for him to handle this new turn in Eve.

"Good morning, Eve!"

She nodded to him slowly, the necklace sitting against her chest, "Good morning, Elsword."
