The rain had started up again as they trudged down the dirt road towards the inn. Elsword being supported by Chung and Raven while Rena lead them. A cold breeze brushed against their bodies as the inn appeared in the horizon.
"We're almost there," Rena spoke softly and quietly, almost afraid she was hurting Elsword with her words.
A small figure appeared in the horizon as they continued to walk. Slowly, the figure became more noticeable, waving her arms around with a panic face. Rena, immediately recognizing the face, widened her eyes and started to dash towards the housekeeper.
"I need help! A-Aisha and E-Eve...!" The housekeeper shouted, panting and stopping right in front of Rena, her green dress in ruins and her hair loose from the bun.
The words 'Aisha' and 'Eve' sunk in to Chung and Elsword's heads. Without a second thought they sprinted past the housekeeper with worried eyes, their weapons coming out. The sky turned darker as another cold wind heavily blew across the swordsmen and cannier. Thunder boomed in the distance as a streak of lightning flashed through the sky. Stopping in front of the door, Chung wildly flung it open, rushing inside with Elsword hot on his tail. They flew up the white stairs, arriving in front of a blue door.
"Aisha! Eve!" Chung screamed, slamming the door open to reveal Aisha being held by someone and Eve on the floor awake and slightly injured.
The man holding Aisha had silky, silver hair and blood red eyes. His skin was a dark purple with purple and red horns coming out of his head. A purple shoulder guard with chains covered his shoulder, while he wore a red and purple top showing off his four-pack abs. A silver chain wrapped around his waist with the symbol of a bat. A purple and red spiky skirt was on his waist as he wore long purple armor down to his feet. A black and purple sword was in hi hands.
"Oh? We have company?" The man chuckled deeply, his voice vibrating the walls.
Elsword's eyes flashed dangerously as he leveled his sword towards him. Chung slowly walked over to Eve, his cannon ready to fire if the silver-haired man moved.
"Let me introduce myself, I am Ran." Ran spoke smoothly, his voice calm and collected.
"Give Aisha back..." Elsword snarled, walking closer, threatening with his blade.
Ran laughed, snuggling Aisha in to him with devilish eyes. He stroked her hair, enraging Elsword even more.
"Why? You know she was the one to murder everyone in your village, remember? One scarlet and one purple eye?"
Elsword tensed up and hesitated, his eyes not denying that statement. Chung gasped and stared at Elsword with wide eyes.
"I'll take her away from you~? Then you can be happy that you don't have to see this girl anymore," Ran caressed Aisha's pale cheeks, his eyes glinting with amusement at Elsword.
Biting his lips, Elsword opened his mouth to say something, a retort, but nothing came out. Just silence. Ran laughed again, bemused by the strong swordsmen to be seen like this. He turned around, waving his hand as a black portal appeared.
"If you wish to take her back, come to the Halls of Water," After those words were said, Ran disappeared in to the portal, taking Aisha with him.
The black void disappeared, the sky turning back to a light gray. Elsword fell to his knees, his sword dropping to the floor with a clang. I didn't save her... I didn't save her... I didn't save her... The same thought came over and over again, causing the swordsmen to clutch his head and shake it violently. He didn't understand why, his body didn't move, almost like he was stuck in time.
"You... what... why?" Chung stuttered, looking at Elsword.
"I'm sorry, I just... I don't understand..." Elsword said slowly, standing up dully, a blank expression on his face.
Mixed emotions battled inside Elsword, confuse, anger, sadness, and guilt. The swordsmen collapsed on to a bed, pressing his face in to a pillow. Sudden footsteps echoed through the hallway as Rena and Raven appeared at the door, weapons out and ready.
"Where's Aisha?" Raven asked, eyes filled with fury.
Chung shook his head and picked up Eve, who grabbed his hand and gave a reassuring squeeze. Rena lowered her weapon, looking at the destroyed room with confused and sad eyes.
"You didn't... save her...?" Her voice vibrated through Elsword's mind, making him even more guilty of what he has done.
"Aisha, she was the one all along... She was the murder." Eve answered bluntly, eyes closed, her body cuddling up in to Chung's warm one.
Rena's bow and sword dropped to the floor at those words, her mouth agape. Raven sheathed his sword, placing a comforting hand on Rena's shoulder. Tears slipped down her face, as she turned around and pressed herself in to Raven's chest.
"That s-sweet girl can't be... not her!" Rena cried out, her face pressing deeper as Raven wrapped her in a warm hug.
Elsword screamed and shouted in to the pillow, muffling his words of curse. Chung gently placed Eve on the bed, pulling the covers over both of them to hide their faces.
"Stop crying, we won't know if we don't ask. Either we save Aisha or let her die or even used." Raven spoke smoothly and calmly, raising Rena's head from his chest.
Rena stared at him through blurry tears, feeling her resolve strengthen, she looked at Raven with determination. She picked up her bow and sheathed Erendil. Hastily she wiped away her tears and looked at Chung and Eve, before Elsword. Her mouth opened and with strength she spoke.
"Yes, we will save Aisha. We will all find out the truth."
