A few days later Rena was fine again. She and Elsword left to join the rest of the El-gang fighting the demons.
Some of the red-knights blocked the entrance to Velder. "Nobody is allowed to go any further! The demons already reached this city.", one of them said. "But you have to let us pass!", Elsword protested. "You are Elsword and Rena, right?", another one asked. The red-haired nodded. "Then I have bad news for both of you ... One if your group has been badly hurt and is probably going to die ...", the man continued. "Who is hurt like that?", Elsword asked fast.
The man sighed and replied: "Her name is Aisha ..." Rena started to cry; she and Aisha were good friends and the magician was the one who saved their lives whenever her help was needed. "Please ... take us to her!", the elf sobbed. Elsword grabbed her hand and remained silent. He didn't like Aisha much but the fact that she saved their lives and that she was good at helping the ones fighting at close range from further behind, would make her loss even worse. The death of one of the famous gang that defeated the demons once, would destroy the hopes of the people.
As they finally arrived at the hospital, they met Chung and Elesis. "How's Aisha?", Rena asked. "Don't worry ... She will survive, her injuries already started to heal.", Chung replied. "That's good to hear!", the elf said and entered the room, to see the purple-haired.
"So ... how strong are those demons?", Elsword asked after Rena closed the door. "They are very strong ... stronger than any demon we fought before ...", Elesis said. "And we cannot hold them back forever Soon they will attack us again!", Chung continued. "He's right ... we should ready up for the next attack ...", Elesis said and left. The blonde followed her.
Elsword entered the room now as well to see Aisha. The girl had a lot small injuries, but they would heal soon. There was a pretty big cut on the purple-haired's arm, but nothing that would kill her. Rena used some of the herbs she brought with her, to make some medicine for Aisha.
Demons started to attack Velder. Elsword, Rena, Elesis and Chung fought against the leading demons, the red-knights fought the rest of the demons. It didn't take long and the demons fled, to attack again later. Elsword and Elesis got hurt a little; but it seemed that Elsword was doing worse than his sister. "Are you okay?", Rena asked worried. "Don't worry, I'm fine. Just some scratches ...", he replied.
"Rena! Mrs Rena!", a man shouted as he ran over to her waving with something that looked like a letter. "I have a letter for you ... It's from your father ...", the man said and handed the elf the piece of paper.
The green-haired opened the envelope and started reading the letter. Her hands were shaking as she did so. She fell to her knees and started to cry. "Rena! What's wrong? What happened?", Elsword asked as he knelt beside her. "Demons ... attacked my home ... they ... they killed my mother ...", she sobbed. The knight hugged her, trying to comfort her. "I'm so sorry ...", he whispered. Rena held him tight to her and kept crying. "Rena ... you should go and meet your father ...", Elsword said. The elf nodded: "I'll leave tomorrow ..." She let go of her husband and got up.
Until evening they group had to fight back demons almost every hour. Strangely the demons never attacked at night, so they all went to sleep. Elsword was the last one to go to sleep, he stared out of the window for a while and noticed a figure standing there and staring up to him. The figure was dressed in black and the head was covered with a hood. There wasn't much light outside, so Elsword couldn't see that person's face, only these yellow eyes that stared right at him.
The figure ran away, and Elsword went to sleep.
The next morning Rena was gone, the knight thought she went to see her father, but there was a note on her pillow. Elsword picked it up and read it: "I have Rena, you might try to save but I will tell you know that this will be no use! I won't let her go and if you decide to come here, I will kill you!" This hand writing was familiar to Elsword. "Dammit!", he said and ran out of velder city. He ran towards the olf chapel of velder, better know as "Underground Chapel".
