Adds' eyes slowly opened and the Nasod Scientist dragged himself to conscience. He propped himself up on his arm and stretched his dazed legs. He scanned his surroundings and realized where he was or somewhat where he was. He was in a Feita Knights tent. The dead give away was the drab and emotionless uniform green.
He went to stand up but something on his arm weighed him down. He looked down at his arm to see… AISHA! What was she doing here!? And more importantly. Why is she wrapped around my arm!? Aisha was sleeping soundly, hugging Adds arm like it were a teddy bear. She snuggled up closer to Add. He blushed and tried to slip his arm from out of her grasp to no avail. Aisha stirred from her sleep.
Add ripped his arm from her grasp and ran out of the tent. He just got out of the tent when the first wave of pain flooded through his body. He collapsed to the ground. He writhed in agony as spurts of pain ran through his body. He grunted as he struggled up onto his feet. He had just gotten to his feet when his nasod eye malfunctioned and his vision went black. He stumbled about trying to find somebody to help him when he stumbled over something and landed face first into something soft. His eye switched back on and the first thing he saw was a long strand of purple hair.
Dread filled his being as he prepared to face his punishment. He picked himself up out of Aisha's cleavage and looked into the amethyst eyes of Aisha.
" I'm so sorry Ai- "
Before he could finish his apology Aisha pulled Add into a passionate kiss. After she was done Add pulled himself away from her and leant against a barrel next to the tent.
" Well that was certainly unexpected. "
Aisha giggled and casted a seductive look at Add. she went over to his side and snuggled his arm. Add wanted to protest but he couldn't get the words out because of the pain that he suffered from every time he even moved. Add fell to his knees in pain. He looked down at his chest to find it wrapped extensively in bandages. He asked Aisha who was still wrapped around his arm hugging him tightly.
" What happened to me? "
" You don't remember? "
" No. The last thing i remember was a fight in Feita temple. And a strange hooded man."
" Add … You died. "
" What!? "
" But i brought you back using a old form of necromancy that my master taught me. You and i are now bound forever."
" Again. What!? "
Add couldn't believe the news. He was bound to Aisha!? Why!? Why did she do such a thing for him!?
Aisha giggled again and looked deep into adds purple nasod eye before she lent forward and whispered into his ear.
" Got ya! I was just joking. "
Add heard Aisha and a deep and bitter rage boiled inside of him.
" You WHAT! Augh! " Add gripped his chest in pain
" Woah! Easy Add even though you didn't die doesn't mean you can stress yourself so much. "
She helped Add to his feet and walked him back into the tent. She laid him gently down on a blood stained bed roll. After Add was resting on the bed roll Allegro entered the tent followed closely by Lento.
Allegro didn't notice that Add was awake, and merely went about doing whatever it was that he was doing. Allegro grabbed two brightly colored jars from an assortment of strange jars and vials filled with vivid and colorful liquids and placed them on a table just within arms reach of the shelve. He opened one of them and scooped out a sickly green jelly like substance. He plopped the gel into a bowl and went over to a shelve case filled with other strange supposedly medical tools.
Add unable to contain his curiosity anymore spoke to Allegro.
" What are you doing? "
Allegro jumped slightly and spun on his heels to speek to Add. He was met with the cold and unnerving glare of Add.
" I-I uhh. I- i'm just. "
Add propped himself up on his arm and glared at Allegro as he stuttered uncontrollably.
" I- I- i'm just making a salve f-for your wounds."
After he had finally gotten the words out of his mouth went back to diligently working silently. Add slowly lowered himself to the ground again and looked at Aisha who was still giggling at her own terrible joke. He felt like he should yell at her, make her feel sorry for what she had done. But he couldn't stay angry at her. He felt happy that she was laughing and enjoying herself.
' Yep you fell for her Add. You knew it was gonna happen since the first day you saw her.' Add thought to himself. But now he wondered. ' How am i gonna tell her? What if she rejects me? ' These thoughts whirled around in his head as he laid there looking deeply into Aishas purple eyes. He felt like he should talk to her, like he had to say something. But the words didn't come to him.
Aisha broke the silence.
" You had us all scared to death. You know that right? "
" Im so sorry for scaring you like that. "
Add flinched. He didn't want to tell her just yet. But the words just slipped out.
" Why just me? "
" Cause your the only one right here next to me. "
Add silently sighed. He was lucky that he was able to think of that on the spot.
Aisha grew disappointed. She thought that he may actually have said that he cared for her. Perhaps her joke went a bit too far. She would just have to try and get him to like her even harder. She had all the time she could ever ask for now she just had to make her move before Raven came back.
" Listen i kinda wanted to go to this water fall i saw when we first came here later tonight. Wanna come? "
" Uhh sure. I guess. "
Aisha got up from her seat next to add and left the tent. The moment she was out of sight of her romantic interest she grew angry at his lack of interest.
' Why had he shown no emotion to me at all?! What does Raven have that i don't? I mean he is rather handsome. But i'm sure add isn't that kinda guy. At least i hope he isn't. '
Aisha sighed and went off to get ready for tonight. She would have to look her best.
' Ugh. Why are guys so hard to understand? I mean i thought with the way he had been looking at me that i had gotten his attention. But then he just turns around and falls for Raven.'
Aisha sighed as she got her swimsuit on underneath her usual attire.
She then went over to her bed to fetch a present that she was gonna give to Add from under her bed roll. It was an amulet that had an fire el gem in the pendant. She turned the amulet over and over in her hand. The fire gem glew with a dim and romantic orange glow. The gem seemed to feel the passion Aisha had for Add and grew brighter with every thought of him that passes through her head. after a moment of staring deeply into the gem she placed the present for add into silver box about the size of her hand.
As Aisha left the tent a great wave of energy ran through Add. This was the chance that he had hoped and prayed for! But then he realized he had to get something for her otherwise he will seem like a selfish jerk.
' Augh! Whys there always got to be another mess ahead of me! Alright think Add where could you get a present for her? Perhaps Allegro or Lento could help me with that! '
He propped himself up on his arm and spoke to Lento.
" Lento could i ask a favor from you? "
" As long as it stays within reason. "
" I need a gift for a girl i like. "
" Hmm well i think i know of something along those lines. Ah! Yes i remember! In a nearby cave there is a magnificent looking gem. My memory fails me when it comes to describing it but i remember it was sight to behold. However it is guarded by a mystical barrier. "
" And i guess you don't know a way you can get through the barrier? "
" That barrier is the only reason i don't have the gem now. "
" Hmm. could you lead me to the gem? "
" Do you think you could handle it? "
" I believe so. "
" Ok. Let me talk to Allegro. He is your doctor so he has the final say in this matter. "
Lento went over and whispered to Allegro. Add watched the two of them whisper back and forth to each other. Allegro had a mischievous smile on his face as he whispered to Lento. then Lento broke out laughing uncontrollably as if he had just heard the funniest joke ever. Lento walked back over to Add and spoke to him.
" Allegro said its ok with him but he has two conditions. First he asks you wait for him to put the fresh salve over your bandages and second. He asks that you bring back a souvenir from your date. If you catch my drift. "
Adds face broke into a blush. He casted a fierce and angry glare at Allegro. The secretary flinched and ran to hide behind a curtain that hid a series of alchemical devices. Lento sighed and went over to his usual rest by the curtain. Add gave an angry and annoyed sigh and lowered himself back onto his blood stained bedroll.
As he laid there waiting for Allegro to finish making the salve that he had to get his bandages coated in. His thoughts drifted back to the assault on the shrine of dedication. How were the others doing, and what if they need Aisha and him? He worried for his friends fearing that they may be in deathly danger.
He even worried for that stupid little annoying brat Elsword. He may be annoying but the others need him. His pure and unbridled energy and confidence fuels their hopes and drives them on, not to mention he is a brilliant leader that could one day grow to become an unmatched general, if only he could realize his limitations.
His train of thought was broken when Allegro came out from behind the curtain with a light brown ceramic bowl in hand.
" Its finished. "
Add propped himself back up back on his arm and let Allegro do his work and coat Adds bandages with a strange salve that smelled faintly of pine needles. After Allegro was done he motioned Lento over and whispered into his ear.
Add then rose to his feet and grabbed his lab coat from a hook by the door to the tent. He went to leave when Lento grabbed his arm. Add looked over his shoulder into the dead serious and emotionless stare of Lento. Lento said to the eager nasod scientist.
" I'm not letting you go alone, not in your condition. "
" I can handle myself. "
" You don't have a choice in this matter Add. If you died what would you think that girl of yours would think? Do you really want to just go and die on her? If you can get through the barrier the gem is yours, I'll not stand in your way."
" Fine. But only because i don't want to sit here and argue with you all night."
" Good. Now follow me. "
Add followed the green clad knight through the forest. His wounds on occasion caused him some pain but it was manageable unlike before. As they drew upon the cave a strange sense of familiarity dawned upon Add. they entered the cave cautiously watchful for any threat that may follow them. Then Lento moved a large rock to close the entrance of the cave making the cave pitch black.
Well that ending was kinda rushed. Now i have to tell you that because i am working on a handful of my novels i will won't be updating these stories as often as i have before. And now i must bid you farewell.
