Hello everyone! I do not own Elsword, or the characters of said game. I do, however, ship Elsword and Eve to no end.
Chung and Elesis are currently an experimental pair for me. This is my attempt at seeing how they roll for me. Hope you all enjoy.
!This is a sequel of my story, Relearning the Seraph. IF YOU HAVE NOT READ IT, PLEASE DO SO BEFORE READING THIS!
I'M NOT KIDDING READ THE FIRST ONE. IT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING ABOUT SERIS AND CEDRIC, NOT TO MENTION EVENTS CRITICAL TO UNDERSTANDING FINDING THE BLAZING HEART. IT WON'T TAKE LONG TO READ.
Also, I claim partial ownership to my format of Seris' story and partial ownership of Cedric, as shared with my boyfriend.
Huge thanks to my boyfriend, who has been supporting me all along the way. And also since I wouldn't have actually gotten into Elsword without him!
We roleplay the Elsword and Eve pairing together, so you might see more of them from me around here.
I have been noticing that for some reason, Fanfiction has been bunching up my paragraphs! If you notice this, understand I do not know how to fix it!
So let's get down to it! Read, Review, and Enjoy!
Eve: Code: Nemesis
Elsword: Rune Slayer
Rena: Wind Sneaker
Raven: Blade Master
Aisha: Dimensional Witch
Chung: Deadly Chaser
Ara: Sakra Devanam

Chapter 9: Alphabetical Betterment against Complications (ABC)
'Alter broken concern differently everyday for good hearted incendiary jokesters killing lamentation...?'
"Attention everyone! I need some help with an experiment!" cried Rena.
"Blow hot air somewhere else, I'm sleeping!" yelled Aisha.
"Cut it out Aisha, you need to make that cure!" shouted Elsword.
"Don't fight guys, it's not fun..." sighed Ara.
"Each of you are ridiculous, what are we doing here?" protested Raven.
"Forget it, I'm strangling them all for waking me up," Elesis quipped.
"Geez, shouldn't you get your body back first?" Aisha shot back.
"How cute, I would have it by now if you'd quick sucking face with Allegro for one day of the week!" yelled Elesis.
"I swear, you did that again? You were supposed to have it two days ago Aisha!" cried Elsword.
"Jerks, why don't you try potion making? Huh?"
"Keep forgetting my girlfriend's medicine and I'll lock you in your room without your precious Allegro at all," Chung grumbled.
"Last I recall, didn't you all conclude that it would only take two days and not four?" inquired Seris.
"My God, I asked for help in here!" cried Rena.
"No one cares, Rena! Try again when it's not dawn's buttcrack o'clock!" Elesis called.
"O-Oh my goodness that was both hilarious and mean!" laughed Elsword.
"Pieces of work, the lot of you; don't make me kick every single one of you in the face!" screamed Rena furiously.
"Quit being so loud and just tell us what you want! My child is sleeping, so please..." sighed Raven.
"Really Daddy...I'm awake...I'm...aw-sleepy..." Cedric mumbled.
"Sweetie, go to sleep. Mommy and Daddy are here, I promise," murmured Seris.
"Try earplugs, you might need them," Ara grunted.
"Ugh, I hate you all!" screamed Aisha.
"Very funny Aisha, I told everyone to shut up! I have a sleeping three year old!" yelled Raven.
"Wait honey, wait...mind your voice too love...its okay..."
"X-Ray vision would be nice right now; I think you guys are missing brains," Elsword sighed.
"You know, x-rays would eventually harm us right?" Chung sighed.
"Zoo animals. You all are zoo animals. Now come on and help me. Please..." begged Rena.
There was a long pause as Rena stood in the hallway, having been yelling from there at everyone in their surrounding doors. With the exception of Elesis still sleeping in Chung's room, usually in his pocket, or in the blanket when he didn't have one. It was now, indeed, four days since Elesis had been shrunken...and she was not pleased with Aisha's customer service. Nor was Elsword. Or Chung. The two boys, along with Eve and Elesis, had been going to dungeons as a team lately; save for the fact that Elesis had to be stowed in a pocked and dispense items instead. It was not a role she appreciated, but it was better than being home alone, or being the reason Chung had to stay home.
"Alright, did we seriously just say things in alphabetically arranged lines...?" Rena inquired.
"Believe so...let me see. Attention, blow, cut, don't, each, forget, geez, how, I, jerks, keep, last, my, no, oh, pieces, quit, really, try, ugh, very, wait, x-ray, you, and zoo. Yeah...we definitely did," sighed Elsword.
"Coincidences are the best! This was actually my experiment idea!" the elven archer cheered.
"Don't tell me you're serious...please be lying...please be lying..." prayed Elesis.
"Everyone, I want you all to speak in alphabetic sentences today! The elves at home were never good at it, so I hope you guys are!" cheered Rena.
Elesis cussed under her breath, as Elsword groaned next door, "Forgive me, but why?"
"Good luck everyone!" laughed the elf.
"How are we supposed to do that? Won't that mean we all have to stay together; what of our missions?" Raven asked.
"It's okay, we can all stay home today; there's another storm coming in! We'll call this ABC Storm Day!"
"Just say you're kidding, please..."
"Keep it up guys! We're doing this because we can keep Aisha home to cure the grumpy Elesis! And have fun bettering ourselves against complications!"
"Lost your mind Rena, you have," Elsword commented.
"My question is why are we doing this willingly, while complaining?" asked Eve.
"Not sure...guess it is kind of fun," Chung noted.
"Oh great, I have no excuse now..." whined Aisha.
"Perfect! Now you can cure my sister!"
"Quackers..." grumbled aforementioned mage.
"Really woman? That's what you come up with?" snapped Elesis.
"So we are really doing this right now? Through closed doors?" sighed Seris.
"Truly seems that way. As long as Cedric can sleep, I don't care," muttered Raven.
"Ulterior motives, I sense them...Rena! What have you done?" protested Ara.
"Various reasons!" laughed Rena.
"Well I just want to say that I might have to smack you all in the face," Chung sighed, "-except Eve, Elsword, and Elesis."
"Xylopyrography!" shouted Cedric.
"You...what?" Raven looked at Seris and Cedric confusedly in the silence of everyone else's surprise.
"Zealous in your quest to wake up today, huh?" Seris giggled, "Xylopyrography is the act of engraving designs on wood using a hot poker, by the way."
"And where in the world did you learn that?" cried most of the house, plus Raven, at same time.
"Back a couple months ago, Ceddy and I met a guy that did it. He engraved my name and Ceddy's name into a plate of wood and helped me attach it to my cutlass. Surprised no one's ever saw it," Seris laughed.
"Cedric, you and your mom know some weird people," Elesis sighed.
"Don't I know it! We live in a house of weird people too!" laughed Cedric.
"Everyone just got burned..." Raven smirked a bit as he chuckled.
"Free and weird. Awesome," Chung replied.
"God, you're weird," Elesis sighed.
"Hah, it's okay. You know you love it," he smiled.
"I-I do not!"
"Just kidding! Sis is just kidding!"
"Keep it up! Maybe you two will finally make out!" called Rena.
"L-Lies! It's not like that!" Elesis cried.
"My goodness, its not?" Eve gasped.
"Nah, I think it is," Elsword smirked.
"Oh come on-mhm-!"
"Pff-finally!" cried Aisha.
"Quick! Chung, please tell me you just kissed her!" Ara called.
"R-Really guys? C-Come on..." stammered Elesis.
"So he did!"
"True, I did. And I loved it. It was just difficult since she's tiny."
"Umbrellas! They need to kiss under an umbrella in the rain!" cheered Cedric.
"Very cute idea Cedric!" Raven chuckled.
"What is wrong with you people?" groaned Elesis.
"'Xtreme El Search Party Couples. I can just see the show now," sighed Ara.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! This needs to be done!" squalled Rena.
"Zoo animals is starting to become fitting..." Chung muttered.
"Alright sis! How was that first kiss?"
"Big and slobbery. It took my whole head."
"Cute blush there, love. Sorry though, I couldn't help it."
"Darn it why do you two have to be so cute?" whined Rena.
"Everyone, for the love of God, you all are too loud for me to work!" yelled Aisha.
"Forget your whining, you had tons of time to do this!" Eve called.
"Get to work silly lady!" laughed Cedric.
"How am I supposed to-?"
"I don't think anyone cares, tabletop!" scolded Elsword.
"Jerk!"
"Keep going, it doesn't bug me!"
"Lovely husband of mine, should we teach Chung and Elesis how to make out when Elesis gets her size back?"
"My goodness, my lovely wife, that is a great idea!"
"Nope! Nope, nope, nope, nope!" cried Elesis.
"Oh Elesis, that's a cute blush you got there."
"P-Prince...I mean Chung! Chung! Stop that!"
"Quit being so cute then."
"Really not that cute though..."
"Scarlet cheeks with blazing eyes and ruby hair...your right. You aren't cute, you're beautiful."
"Too much cuteness! Cuteness overload time!" gushed Rena.
"Uhm, is cuteness overload dangerous?" inquired Ara.
"Very not so! Cuteness overload is perfect for your health!" cheered Seris.
"Well then lets have more of it!" laughed Raven
"Xylophones are cute. Too bad we don't have one," Cedric sighed.
"You all are insane!" yelled Elesis.
"Zooming in on details is insane too! Details, details, details," Elsword laughed.
It was sometime later as the group reconvened downstairs as thunder began to strike and a package arrived. Seris squealed about said package and toted it off excited, her husband staying with the group as he held his half-asleep, half-alert young son close. Aisha, meanwhile, was setting up her potion supplies as she sat on one end of the couch. After all, trying to create the cure before Elsword, Elesis, or Chung took her head was rather important. Meanwhile, Seris twirled back in, wearing a pink Snuggie as she squealed excitedly.
"Ah! The Snuggies are here!" she cheered.
"But Elsword, I can't make it any faster! I'll have it done in an hour or something...wait...Snuggies?" Aisha inquired.
"Come on, you can do better than...Snuggies?" Elsword gave Seris the most confused look.
"Darn, that pink is pretty!" Rena exclaimed.
"Everyone...gets...a backwards robe?" Eve questioned.
"For everyone! A pink Snuggie!" squealed Seris.
"Got pink only? Oh God no, help me..." murmured Raven.
"How adorable you'll be, Raven! I even bought a small one for Ceddy! He'll be able to grow into it!"
"I...don't understand...why..." Raven sighed.
"Just do it man...we all have pink..." Elsword grumbled, sliding his on.
"Killer pink. That makes it sound better," Elesis sighed, looking at hers that she could not wear in her condition.
"Look though, it isn't so bad. What do you think Elesis? You can crawl into my sleeves if you want," Chung laughed.
"My God, I look awful..." Raven muttered.
"No, Daddy looks really nice!" cheered Cedric, as his father put the Snuggie for his son on the boy.
"Oh I agree with Cedric," Seris grinned, sliding hers on before kissing her husband.
"Please stop, I look stupid in this already, but I need to focus," Aisha murmured.
"Quit complaining," Elsword sighed, eying her.
"Really now everyone, why don't we watch some horror movies and eat some popcorn?" asked Eve, "We have perfect weather."
"So honestly...I like that idea," Chung responded, helping Elesis nest herself into her Snuggie as he held it in his lap with her; like a lap bed.
"Truthfully, so do I," Elesis answered.
"Uhm, me too!" cheered Ara.
"Very much so," stated Rena, twirling in her own Snuggie.
"Well, I can watch while working. With luck, I can cure Elesis tonight."
"X-rays will have to done to find your bone breaks if you don't," growled Elesis.
"You could be a bit nicer to me," Aisha sighed.
"Zen everyone, zen. Be peaceful!" giggled Ara.
After getting everyone large bowls of popcorn, Seris helped get Cedric to nap, placing earplugs in his ears before she dug up a few horror movies from the shelf. Chung curled up on the couch, holding Elesis in her Snuggie as a space on the couch divided him from Rena, Ara, and a working Aisha. Eve and Elsword compiled into the red armchair, the Nemesis in the lap of the Rune Slayer while Seris and Rena snuggled together on the floor cushions. They held one another and their child protectively, everyone comfortably snuggled up in pink as thunder rolled, rain crashed, and the movie began. It did not begin well..
"Aw man, someone already died!" screamed Rena.
"Because it's a horror movie, duh..." protested Raven.
"Cue severe bloodbath..." Ara nonchalantly pointed at the screen.
"Disgusting! They ripped his skin off!" cried Aisha.
"E-Ewwww...t-that's a lot of...eww..." whimpered Rena.
"F-Forget that, did you see that? He turned his head in a full circle!" yelped Elsword,
"Gross...I heard the bones..." muttered Eve.
"How cruel..." Chung gaped at the screen, wide eyed as he held Elesis.
"I-I hate this already..." grumbled Elesis.
"Just...just be glad we aren't...eating besides...popcorn, right?" Seris stammered.
"K-Keep holding me..." Elesis told Chung, much against her judgement.
"Letting go is not in the cards," Chung stated.
"Mercy no, that...that...that guy's guts are all over the bus!" shrieked Rena.
"No, no, the whole busful has their guts on there," corrected Ara.
"Oh my God, ew!" Aisha quipped loudly.
"Please...please...please don't eat him...oh God it ate him!" Chung cried.
"Quit reminding me!" screamed Elesis.
"R-Really gross..." Eve murmured.
"S-So true...oh God, the eyeballs fell on the floor!" Elsword yelled.
"Too predicta-oh crap that was not predictable!" yelped Ara.
"Ugh, you're telling me?" Seris asked.
"Very glad Cedric is napping," Raven stated carefully.
"Wait, I got the potion done! Pause the movie, its done!"
"X-Rays won't have to be done on you as long as it works," Chung chuckled.
"You better have it, give it to me!" cried Elesis.
"Zeal today...it's so nice to see!" cheered Seris.
As Elesis gulped the contents and grew back, the group smiled in the wake of the paused horrifics and the thunder screaming outside. She sighed in relief, especially upon finding that the maid outfit had grown with her. Still, she shrugged her way into the Snuggie, and happily sat down next to Chung. She still was awkward in trying to work with being with him...but...she was starting to accept it. So when the group started calling for Chung to be properly thanked, there was really only one way Elesis could think to do it. Could she though?
Absolutely... Beautifully... Comfortably... Daringly... Eventually... Formidably... Greatly... Honorably... Inevitably... Jolts keeping light magnified nicely on par quietly residing softly, truly, upon various xeno zealously.
Swallowing softly in shy embarrassment, she finally got past it and pressed her lips to his carefully. It wasn't easy, and Chung knew that much as he wrapped his arms around her. Still, despite still seeing her crimson sky...Elesis was ready to work towards breaking it. She knew that blue sky was there. Closing her eyes as she melted, the others cheered in excitement loud enough to drown out the storm outside.
"Alphabetical Betterment against Complications. The A.B.C. Game!" cheered Rena.
"Believe it or not, this was fun," Ara giggled.
"Can't disagree. My sister finally kissed Chung!"
"Dear mercy, they look so happy over there," giggled Rena.
"Even that understates it. We don't exist right now," laughed Eve.
"Finally..." Aisha sighed in relief.
"Great things come by time," Seris smiled.
"Have to agree with that," Raven kissed her forehead.
She could finally admit that...she had feelings for him too...
Xeno refers to a foreigner or the plural of such.
So foreign zealously is how that one point can read.
And yes, I know the early use of Xtreme shouldn't have counted. I had limited options.
A companion story to this story series, dealing with Cedric's view of this household, has been started. It will not be updated as rapidly as this. It is named Anecdotes of a Small Child.
It is told from Cedric's POV, mainly about him and his parents.
Love you all! Reviews are love!
