T/ Epilogue, Day Unknown.

It was the middle of the night, the only light coming into the chambers of the now matured Rune Slayer, was emanated by the full moon high up in the starry sky. The, what once was a young Magic Knight became now a man. While his body didn't show much muscle, his inherited strenght persisted, if not even grew with the years. His face developed, losing its childish aspect, replacing it with a more serious look and a determined fire could always be spotted in his red eyes. The man was laying on his bed, wide awake, listening to the sound of breathing that did not come from him. Shuffling noise was heard from the other side of the bed, as a sleeping purplenette turned herself to face him, her head making its way onto his shoulder. With a small sigh, Elsword managed to place his arm under her head, thus embracing her frame, everytime he'd look at her, the shade of red in his eyes would change into a softer color, a more bright one. As he always told her, she now resembled his light.

The two were living together ever since the El-Gang moved to Hamel, after defeating the demon commander Ren, due to Chung having to take his duties as a Prince in consideration. The blonde with cerulean eyes grew quickly closer to Eve, who he promised his full support in helping with whatever was necessary in restoring her people, the Nasod race. The two quickly grew fond of each-other as they started attending various diplomatic meetings together. Even if they would deny any romantic involvement, Elsword knew straight from the source, as he remembered when Chung first told him about his feelings towards Eve, at the time, he was flattered, seeing as Chung saw him trust-worthy enough to confine in him. He remembered back then, when he assured the Prince he had nothing to worry, and that things would work out between the two. A chuckle escaped him as he found out he was right.

Raven and Rena had apparently been keeping their relationship a secret from the rest of the gang, they were afraid it would get in the way of their quests. And so it was a surprise for everyone when they announced their engagement. The pair were on their honeymoon and were expected to return two weeks from now. He had to fight back laughter as Aisha's face popped up in his mind as she caught Rena's bouquet.

Despite having a rather tiresome day, Elsword was wide-awake, and he found out remembering various things from his past didn't help his sleep problem. The man had attended a formal party hosted by Hamel's prince, of course Aisha was there with him, they were an official couple now and even he had attended a few formal parties since he became a Rune Slayer, thus becoming somewhat respected among the higher-class of Hamel, after all, not everyday an authentic Rune Slayer could be seen at such events, as his kind was said to be almost extinct. Even though he honestly didn't really care, the real reason he attended these parties was to offer his support to Chung, who was looking to forge a healthy diplomatic relationship with the rest of the continent. Of course seeing Aisha dressing like a princess and getting to dance with the purple haired mage on such occasions was a bonus he thought was well deserved.

Using his free hand he tucked away few strands of Aisha's hair behind her ear, as he softly kissed her forehead. Suddenly his ears picked up a strange noise on their house's balcony. The redhead slowly got his hand from Aisha's head as he left the bed, he stealthily approached the balcony door as he casted a rune to have on the ready in his hand. Upon opening the door, and laying eyes on the source of the noise he relaxed. The rune dissipated from his hand in glowy dust.

On the balcony, leaning against the railing, was the same cryptic man from his dream back in his Magic Knight days, the same man that took part in his ritual to becoming a Rune Slayer. His appearance did not change over the course of time. He still wore the red slacks and red vest he had then, even his shirt seemed the same. Only thing different the Slayer noticed, was his smile.

A low, calm, but warm voice came from the man, pulling him out of his shock. "Hello, Elsword."

He didn't respond, but he came closer to the man, and as he looked towards the sky, he heard him speak again.

"How's Aisha doing?"

Elsword leaned against the railing, mimicking the man's position, the nights in Hamel were quite cold, causing his breath to turn white. "She-She's sleeping, we had quite a day."

"So I've heard. Tell me, Elsword." The man turned to face him. "What are you most afraid of?" he enquired.

The Rune Slayer took a moment to decide his answer. "Nothing."

A low cluckle was heard, "Seems like you've turned into quite the man." the man looked towards the stars, "You know. You've grown on me, kid." he moved a hand through his hair as he turned his head towards the Rune Slayer. "She'd be proud."

Elsword's reply came in a shakier voice than he wanted to "What do you mean? Who's she?"

A flick of fingers was heard, and wings came out of the man's back. "Listen, tomorrow, at 4 PM sharply, leave the town, and walk straight North, and wait in front of the bridge." The man started lifting from the ground. "I'm giving you one shot at this, don't mess up. I'd hate to see the look on her face if you don't show up. You have one shot at this." was his warning as he vanished.

Sweat beads formed on Elsword's forehead, he was startled when a pair of arms embraced him. As he turned his head, he saw Aisha's head pop up under his arm. "Hey, the bed's lonely without you." The magician said while shyly tightening her embrace. The man gave in and followed her inside.

The next day, Elsword decided he'd follow the man's advice, and at 3 PM sharp, he started walking with a brisk pace towards the bridge the white haired man mentioned. He arrived there at 3:54 PM.

The young man was shaking with anticipation, he heeded the man's warning and was standing in front of the bridge even before his watch turned to 4 PM. A strong gust of wind suddenly hit him, almost causing the red head to lose his balance. In front of him, the man then appeared.

"You've came." he smiled. "I'm glad. I came, to return something to you, someone you've vowed to rescue, I know your searches were fruitless. Just.. Thank me later, okay?" As he flicked his fingers, he vanished as fast as he appeared.

Behind him, on the far end of the bridge, someone could now be seen wobbly and on the verge of collapsing. Elsword started crossing the bride, unconsciously quickening his pace. As he got closer to the mysterious person, his eyes widened in realization, tears started welling into his eyes as he started dashing towards the other end of the bridge. In front of him, a girl with red hair and eyes as crimson as his, wearing broken armor, was trying hardly to keep her balance.

"ELESIIIS!" Yelled Elsword, again and again, as he continued dashing towards her. He could make out her face now, it really was her, his sister, his long forgotten sister. She tears were streaming down her face as she saw her brother running towards her. Her breath was caught in her throat she tried walking forwards, but her weakened state couldn't hold the weight of her body. She fell to her knees as the man reached her.

"ELESIS! IT REALLY IS YOU!" He screamed between sobs, the tears, the tears he when he got the letter announcing her disappearance, those were bitter tears, these tears that streamed down his face, were tears of happiness. Both sibling were crying, and embracing each-other on the ground.

Between sobs, Elsword managed to mutter to his sister something. "Elesis, you're okay, you're alive!" the man took her in his arms, and started heading towards Hamel, a smile was plastered on his face, but his tears wouldn't stop. His most important goal, seeing his sister alive, was reached. His gaze turned towards the skies as he muttered a "Thank you." Although he didn't know why the man did this. He thanked him from the bottom of his heart as he walked holding his sister in his arms.

The girl's voice was weak, but she tried speaking anyways. "Elsword, you've grown, I-I'm so proud of you." Her words were soft, and were said against his chest. The Rune Slayer finally had his sister back, and she was proud of him.

In the skies, the white haired man watched, a tear slid down his cheek. "You're welcome kid, you're welcome."
