"I'm tired…" after defeating the Big demon at the village, Elsword flew back to Velder and landed at his house while transforming back. Horus materialize form his body and flew around the yard to get a bird eye view on the neighbourhood "Hehhhh…so this is this id the present of Elrios…"

"Yeah, nice right?" Elsword shout out to horus who's flying just above his house "after a thousand years, this what the human work on…well it can't be bad!" Horus flew on top of his head "Yeap, it's nice!"

"Well, let's go back to the house, it's cold outside!" Horus phrase into Elsword body and since Elesis is at her room, he slowly opened the door to not disturb her and he creep through the living room and walk up the stair and head to his room. Once he is inside his room, he lay on the bed and close his eyes due to exhaustion from fighting the Big demon.

Demon realm-1:00am-

At the demon palace, a meeting was placed as all the fraction of the demon realm came together in the meeting hall.

"We will now commence the meeting!" Both guards stomp their staff on the floor as everyone looked up at Hernir which came down from her throne "My comrades, as the information given by the samurai demon, the lord knight has defeated another one of our comrades!" Everyone in the vicinity were in an uproar as they whisper to each other that the guards stomp their staff a few times to get everyone attention.

After they had everyone attention, Hernir then continue her speech "Anyway…since invading Velder is out of the question, what do you want to do, my comrades?"

"Then, why don't we invade Hamel, next!?" As the fallen angel fraction leader raise up his hand which piqued Hernir interest "Why do you say that?"

"Velder have the Holy beast as it's guardian protector while Hamel does not, which means…" All fraction already know Hamel won't be able to defend against the full onslaught of the Demons as they did not have their own Holy beast.

"But there are rumours of a knight in Hamel which is as powerful as the Lord knight" As everyone looked at the demon king who stood up and walk to Hernir "We should take precaution against that knight!"

"How do you even know that?" The dragonic hybrid fraction asked.

"I had one of my demon attack a village which him getting killed by the knight…" Everyone was in an outburst and the guards had clam them down.

Goddess Hernir then looked at him "Then what do you think we should do…?"

"I will head out with my team and attack the capital, if the knight were to appear, he would have to deal with me!" Demon king with his fraction walk out of the meeting hall, leaving out all the fraction to prepare for the battle.

Fahrmann village-8:00am-

As everyone head back to the village to clean all the rubble from battle with the demon, Ara came running while her waving hands at them "Hey everyone…!"

"Ara, where have you been?" Aren walked up to her "We have been worried about you since you never came back!"

"Sorry, I had to take care of something…" Ara bow to apologise to him and Aren sighed "Just be careful, next time okay!?"

"Alright!" Aren went to help the other villager straighten things out while Ara with the kids went get supplies from the forest for them.

During the break, Ara went to the house to get a pail and Aren as her brother was worry about Ara, so he followed her to the house and ask her "Do you need help?" Ara then hand him a pail "Then…follow me to the river!" Ara and Aren head upstream of the village.

While walking, Aren heard a clicking sound from behind, and he notices a bright yellow eye in the brushes and pushed Ara away as a black panther jump out from the brushes and pounds on him. While Aren was trying get black panther off him, Ara immediately hit the panther with a bucket, allowing Aren get away from the panther and took Ara hand while making a get away from the panther.

After a while, the panther was nowhere in sight and both of them stop to take breather "That was close wasn't it, brother!?" Aren while huffing and puffing look around his surrounding "So where do you think we are right now…?"

Ara immediately panicked "Ehhhhhh!" and ran around in circle while Aren was dizzy from the circle she made and stop her "Calm down…if we think put our head together, maybe we can figure a way to get out of this mess!"

"We should get to the river first!" Aren suggest as both of them got up and walked in a random direction, after a while, they sighed as they could not find a way to the river. Ara looked down in depression and the hairpin glowed and all thoughts and sound in her brain disappear as a voice was communicating in her head "Right..."

Ara head in the direction that the voice gave her while Aren follow her from behind "Left…" Ara turn around to the left side and saw a river while the hairpin return to it normal state "You did it, Ara!"

After filling up the bucket, Aren was curious as to how she was able to find the river without any map or compass, but was immediately pushed to the back of his mind as Ara walk to him and showed him the fully filled buckets "We can now head to the village and this time, we can't get lost!"

"Huh?" Aren scratched his head "The village is just downstream of river, so if we follow the river, we can get back to the village!" Ara explained to Aren "Ohhhh…well we should get, it's already lunch time and I don't want miss our father's cooking!" Aren laughed and Ara sighed as they head back to the village.

Hamel castle-11:00pm-

In the castle of Hamel, Chung was in his workshop tinkering with the technology that his father built and gave it to him as his eighth birthday. Chung lift his goggle and looked outside of the room where the people of Hamel were either working or with their family" It's peaceful and bright..." he sighed and return to his work. A knocking sound was heard outside his room and he turn around "Who is it?"

"It's me, please open the doors, sir." Chung put his google and open the doors "Oh, Astral…perfect timing, can you take this!?" He gave a shield to him "What are you going do?" Astral asked. (A/N: Astral is Chung butler.)

"I want to test something out…" He grabbed the plasma gun with carving and a crest beside his waist and as he pulls the trigger, the gun immediately charged up blue and shot out a few silver bullets twirling in the air with electricity around the bullet, Astral pull up the shield to block the bullet from hitting him. Sparks fly off the shield as the bullets almost pierce the shield, shocking Astral as he lowered down the shield "Phew…that was close…. Oi, you almost killed me with one of your things again!" He complained.

"Tsk…not powerful enough, huh!?" Chung walk back to his table and put on his goggles and began working on the gun which enrages Astral as he flares up "Are you ignoring me?"

After finally calming down, Astral walked over to Chung "Anyway, it's already 11 in the morning, so I suggest that you head over to the dining hall with your father and the royal family!"

"Don't wanna…" Astral immediately flares up again but held back "Sirrrr… if you don't go to the dining hall, I will make sure that I will dispose of all the weapon you have!" He gave on evil smiles which frighten Chung as he put down his goggles and ran outside of the room and looked both direction and looked back at him "Errr…which way is the dining hall again?"

Astral facepalm and sighed at his master "Follow me." He walked out of the room and head to the dining room with Chung follow his back.

When Astral push the door opened, he moves aside while bowing down and Chung took a few steps and saw his father and the royal family seated neatly in a long table with the king seated on the other side of the table. Chung took the nearest seat to him and sat on it, just beside his father "Hey dad…"

His father, Helputt was covered in white armour with red hair and cape but the helmet was taken off as he looked at his son and turn back to the king "I got ignored, huh…" Chung sighed, and a sound was made from the trumpet signalling the everyone to looked at the king as he stood up and hold a glass of wine "This marks our 30th Independence Day since the revolution against the previous king…" (A/N: Cut short of the speech.)

After the king had finish its speech, all the people in the room were already down to sleep or bored and fiddle with their stuff and once they saw the king not speaking a word anymore, they woke up each other and gave an unsatisfied clap which annoys the king but decide to ignore it as all the people in the room gave a toast and had begun eating.

Chung room-12:00pm-

When Chung close the door, he changed out from his military uniform to his workshop shirt and pants and had put on his goggle "Phew…that was too long even for me." He breath out in relief and jump onto the bed with his hand on his head "I need a break…"

He closes his eyes and began to think about all sort of stuff until he thinks about his friends "Oh yeah, I wonder what are they doing right now…well it won't be as bad as this…!"

Before he drifted off to sleep, he was alerted and awoke from the knocking sound of the door "Who is it?" He then hear a familiar sound "It's me."

"Dad?" He ran to the door and opened to see his father still in his armour "Son, may I come in?"

That made Chung jump in joy as his father didn't always visit him while he's serving the military "Yeah, Yeah, come in!"

Helputt had to move down and up the door to prevent from hitting the celling. Once he was inside the room, he saw the workshop he built for Chung and amazed by how he was able experiment all sort of technology in such a small workshop, he then walks over to the desk and saw the plasma pistol and took it and in the helmet, he looked at the blueprint of the pistol and put the pistol back "So are you working on this gun right now?'

"Yeah, but it's not complete yet…" Chung take the gun, open the drawer and put it inside.

A silence was made between them until Heplutt said "Hey Chung…"

"Yeah Dad?"

"Would you like to work in the military with me after your studies in high school!?"

"Huh…where did that come out of a sudden?"

Helputt walk over to the workshop and took out everything from the guns to the cannon he was tinkering around and put on Chung desk "You create this, right!?"

"Yes…" He nodded.

"Then all this would serve better to the military!" Helputt put both his hands-on Chung shoulder which frighten him a bit "Your tech would help ease the people fear!"

"But like I said, it's incomplete!"

"The military can help you complete it! ...what do you say?" Chung push Helputt away "Can you give me time to think about it!?"

Helputt looked at Chung face before standing and walking to the door "Alright, but give me an answer by end of your graduation." Helputt walked out of the door, leaving Chung in his room.

Astral saw Helputt and bow before entering the room "What's wrong, Chung?" Chung immediately looked at him before looking out of the window "Nothing."

Elsword and Elesis house-1:00pm-

A loud sound woke Elsword up as the door was busted by Elesis "WAKE UP, ELSWORD!"

"Hnn, you don't to bang the door so loud!" Elsword move himself out of the bed and yawn while Elesis opened the curtains "It's already noon!"

"Oh, just shut up…"

"Anyways, you shouldn't stay in bed all day just because it's Sunday…!" Elesis then close the door and head to the living room while Elsword sat on bed "I have been through a lot lately!" he got out of bed and dress in his red shirt together with black tights pants and wore his wrist band.

Horus flew out of Elsword body and flaps his wings to maintain his levitation "That Sister of yours…"

"Yeah, what about her?" Elsword asked.

"No, never mind…" Elsword stared at Horus as he was curious about Horus interest but decide to ignore it as he turn around and opened the door "Aren't you coming?" he looked at Horus.

"No, I want to check something first." Horus phrase through the close window, leaving Elsword in the house as he flew up in to the air.

Once he was in the sky, Horus psychically connect Elsword mind while he was walking down the stairs "So, where are you going?"

"I'm going to see if there's any relic or artefact from thousand years ago." Elsword miss a step on the stairs and fall to the floor, alerting Elesis as she turn behind and looked down on Elsword "Oi, are you okay?"

"Ouch, but I'm okay…" Elsword got up from the ground and walk to the kitchen and looked in the cupboard for the first-aid kit "Ah I found it" he opened the first-aid kit, but was shocked as there isn't much bandage in the box as it should have "Oh yeah Elsword, can you head to the pharmacy right now, I forget to restock the box!" Elsword sighed and walk over to the doorstep and wore his shoes "Is there anything you want to buy?"

"Hmm, then I want ice-cream!" as she raised her hand in the air "Alright, I head to the convenient store after that." Elsword push the door open and unlock the gate, got on his bike and cycle all the way.

Horus landed on the edge of the rooftop near the Velder museum "I can't go in like this…" flames came out from his body as transform to a human with brown hair and tall body "Yeap, this could work!" he leap down from the edge and knelt down softly in the alley way, he walk quickly to the museum and enter through the front gate.

"Now then, where's the Altair…?" He kept walking around but could not find it, so he taps on a random person for direction "May I know which direction is the Altair at?"

The person then took out a map of the museum and gave it to him, he pointed to where he need to go, Horus nodded and headed for the Altair.

As he walks through the hallway, he could clearly see all the exhibit that was from different timeline and civilization, he closes his eyes and grin "Then this is all worth it!"

When he arrived at the Altair, while looking at the stone he felt a presence of nostalgic towards him as though he is united with the other three beasts all around the Altair, he close his eyes and a darkness enveloped him, and standing in front of him was three persons. The middle person known as Byakko was a muscular man with white hair and wearing a v chest plate with a diamond on it and both his hand got sliver claw. The person on the right known as Ryu with long black hair was wearing a black shirt but with shoulder plate shape like a dragon and a dragon like gauntlet. And lastly the person on the left know as Kame was had a shield on his hand and twin spear on his back.

"Yo, long time no see…Byakko, Ryu and Kame!" Horus raised up his hand.

"So, I see that you have bonded with a human…Horus whom is known as Suazku!"

"Well, yeah…"

"So, how was he like?"

"His the same as all the human we have bonded with, but…" Horus ponder about.

"But what?"

"I don't know, he seems a bit familiar to me somehow…" Horus folded his arm while thinking.

"What his name?" Ryu asked.

"Elsword…Elsword Sieghart."

"I see, more importantly…I heard that the demons are back on Elrios?" Kame looked at Horus in a stern vibe which all of them got serious.

"Yeah, we have encountered three of them to be exact." Horus explained.

"Hehhhh…How powerful are they?"

"They are powerful, even for a low-class demon!" Byakko smirked and punch both his hand together "Heh, this will be fun!"

Ryu and Kame sighed and put his hand on Byakko shoulder "Don't excited over fighting them, you don't even have a partner at all."

"I know!" Byakko replied in displeasure.

"But how do we find a human that could handle us? Horus already have one." All four of them close their eyes and fold their arms, wondering how solve their current situation.

Horus then heard a footstep coming close to him, he immediately opened his eyes and turn to looked "It seem there's people already coming in."

"Alright, we talk about it if we meet again." The darkness evaporated from the surrounding, leaving Horus as he walked out of the room.

Elsword park his bike at the near to the building and step through the automatic front door as he took out and scanned quickly at the paper Elesis gave to him "Huh? This is a shopping list!" Elsword thought with a deadpan looked.

"Aaachoo!" Elesis says as she felt a chill down her spine "Is someone talking behind my back?"

Elsword sighed and put the paper back into the pocket, he looked up and saw how big the place is "Well, this is going to take a while…" He move forward on the pathway while moving his head back and forth and search for the pharmacy section on the board above.

After a while, Elsword had no idea where to proceed so he asked a clerk from the store which point to the direction under a sign that had the number 10 on it saying pharmacy. It had its own mini store that is separated from the main store.

"Thanks!" With that Elsword advances towards the pharmacy store to acquire the things needed in the box.

"Thank you very much and have a nice day!" The bell rang as Elsword walk through the front door "Well at least I got what I think it's needed…medicine, bandage and antiseptic cream" He kept recalling until he suddenly remembered something "Oh yeah, I should get Sis some ice-cream from the convenience store."

As he was walking through the street of Velder, he heard a sound coming from the park which on just a block away from the store "What is that? I might as well check it out!" He made a detour from the convenience store to the park as due to his contract with Horus, all his physical abilites were enhanced until to superhuman level.

As he walked across the road, he manages to see three people ganging up on a white hair girl who look like a doll and in addition to that, wearing a vest to cover up her casual white with a skirt and a black knee sock all the way up to her thighs which makes her way more beautiful than the other women.

"Hey young lady, wanna come with us!?" The girl took out her cell phone and texted to someone which makes them a bit jealous "Hey, how about you ditch your boyfriend and have fun with us!"

The girl closes her cell phone with a knock which jolted them "Errr…so is that a yes?" The girl gave them a smile with serious expression "Sorry, I can't go with you three, because you guys looked ugly!"

Elsword saw this and wanted to avoid getting involve with any of that, but could not as his heart is telling him to go save the girl "Ahhhh, fine!"

"What!" This had them raging like crazy as one of them almost gave a punch to the girl which Elsword had to intervene by blocking the fist with the palm of the hand "It's not gentleman like to hit a lady."

Elsword let go of the fist, making him take a few steps back "If you know what's good for you, I suggest you get out of here in this instant!" Elsword transform his eyes to a flame red with a black line shape of a slit in the middle of his pupil, and added a bit of gravity to the surrounding which pressure them three as one of them almost dropped on the ground.

"W-we will remember this; don't you forget it!" They ran afraid of what he could do next. Elsword turn behind see the girl looking at him expressionless but dumbfounded as Elsword looked away from the girl and scratch his head, not know what to do "Errr…Anyways, Bye."

When Elsword took a step away from the girl, he felt a tugged on his shirt and take a glance behind to see that the girl was holding his shirt on bottom, he then took a deep breathe and sighed. He rotate to direction of the girl "So, what do you want?"

"What's your name?" The girl asked.

"Elsword, Elsword Sieghart!" Elsword say in response to her question.

"Eve…Eve Nasod." Eve says.

"So Eve…why are you out alone with three of them?" Eve did not response for while until she moved her head which jolted Elsword "Oh, that three huh…they just wanted to have some fun and did not ask my permission for it!" Elsword could quite understand her situation, even he did not ask for such a burden in the first place.

Elsword just sighed in unfortune he had while Eve just looked at him "So, where are you going now?" Eve took out her cell phone and press some button while Elsword just waited for her. Eve put her phone back into her pocket "My driver will be late, so I still have time…until then, I will go with to wherever you are going!"

"Huh…wait wait wait, I can't bring a girl!" Elsword panicked and blushed in front of Eve, which she did not notices still looks emotionless and just tilted her head "It will be like a dat…" Before Elsword could finish, Eve grabbed his arm "Then it will be like you said, a date and you can protect me from the guys that want to hang out with me!" Elsword had no choice but to complied to her orders.

"So, where are we going?" Eve asked.

"I'm going to convenience store across the park to buy some ice-cream for my Sis." Elsword explained.

"Then…let's go!" Eve pulled Elsword arm and dragged him across the road, which he just goes with the flow.

The convenience store-5:00pm-

Once they arrive at the store, Elsword went to refrigerator inside the store and got an ice-cream for Elesis and a bottle of water for himself while Eve waited outside for him.

After paying for stuff, Elsword and Eve head back to the park and both of them sat on a bench with a metre wide between them. Elsword out his bottle while uncapping it drank a few millilitres of water, that make Eve a bit thirsty. Elsword took a peek at her drooling at the water bottle and snickered at her "W-whats so funny!?"

"Elsword then passed the bottle to her "Want some?" Eve hesitated but grabbed the bottle and took a few sips of it. After feeling rehydrated, Eve gave back the bottle to Elsword and looked at him for a while "You sure you don't want to ask me, like why am I following you or something?"

Elsword close his eyes and simpered at Eve "No need, you can tell me whenever you like, if we meet again of course!" Eve blushed at Elsword grins and turn her head away from Elsword "Now then…Eve, I can stay until 6, do you want me to accompany you to somewhere?" Elsword stood up and move his hand to her.

Eve took his hand "Yes, I want to go where youth always go to when they have fun!" Elsword was a bit daze from her answer but knew where she was going at "So you want to visit the Arcade, cinema, the game shop, the shopping mall and of course, a theme park!?"

"Yes!" Eve nod her head.

Elsword could not believe what she just said and thought "She did not have this much fun when she was a kid, well that explains why she has an emotionless face…"

He scratched his head and try to brainstorm about it, but as time passes, he could not figure out how to have everything in one place, so he decided that the best way for her "Eve, I'm sorry…but I can only go with you to the Arcade, if not my Sis will kill me!" Elsword looked at Eve deadpanned which makes Eve think something frightening.

As they make their way to the Arcade, all the guys on the street were distracted by Eve doll like face, so Elsword glared at them which makes them backed off, Eve smiled at him "See, I told you, all the guys who see me will have love at first sight for me!"

"Errr…that's not something you should brag about it!" Elsword shouted.

"But, this face and body is also a curse…" Eve put her left hand on her left sides of her face while remaining emotionless "What do you mean?" Elsword asked.

"No, this is something you should not know!" Eve move forward quickly while dragging Elsword with her.

Arcade-5:00pm-

"Whoa…so this is an arcade!" Eve was moving her body in all direction, Elsword took out his jacket he wore and cover Eve with it "Here, now this way you can't attraction attention!"

Eve pulled the hood on her head to hide her blushing face from Elsword "T-thank y-you…" Elsword smile at her and walk over to the counter while Eve follows him. Elsword took out his game card along with the money and pass it to the manager.

"Which game would you like to play first?" Eve pointed to the game that has two guns slot in the sheath and a monitor who look a classic zombie game "Alright, fine." Elsword swipe the card and the game begins.

Eve shot most of the zombies while Elsword did only got a few as he did not train using a gun.

The game ended with Eve victory as Elsword was shocked and at the same time sulking "Let go to the next game!" Eve dragged Elsword to the next game. After all the games they had played, Eve wanted to have her photo taken with Elsword, so she took him to the photo booth and after choosing the filter, the camera was ready to take a photo "Ready, 3…2…1" Just as the camera was about to take the shot, Eve turn Elsword face to her and slowly close it in to kiss him on the lips.

"W-what was that for?" Elsword was blushing like mad as Eve took out the photo from the booth locker and put the photo in her pocket and smile "That was for protecting me just now!" smoke went through his head and he looked away.

Park-6:00pm-

"Ahhh, I haven't had much fun since I was coop up in my house all day!" Eve did some stretching exercise to relieve her stress and tension from the arcade and she looked back to Elsword "Thank you for everything!" She smiled at him "You're welcome!"

"Now then…my ride should be here soon…" A honking sound echo throughout the whole park as a limousine was park on the front entrance of the park. Elsword was shocked and even more surprised and the point to the vehicle "Wait…that your ride!?" a person came out of the driver seat and opened the door as Eve walk to the limousine "Bye now, Elsword Seighart!" Elsword waved goodbye as Eve head inside the limousine and the person close the car door and walked over and opened the driver door while sitting inside of it.

The limousine then drove off as Elsword steady his bicycle and rode back to his house.
