I'm sorry for shamelessly inserting an OC here but I kinda need him OTL I'll make it up some how, I PROMISE.

Chung leaned on the wall, arms crossed over his chest, light-blue-and-white jacket in place over a navy-colored shirt that seemed to hug his skin. He had his gauntlet in place, with black jeans and dark grey boots. As he pushed off the wall, he strolled right up to me, jabbing my chest with his finger. "The scar, Rena."

Raven grabbed Chung's wrist, earning a harsh glare. "Can't you see she doesn't want to talk about it?"

"You saw it though, right? Aren't you at least a bit curious?" He demanded, pushing against Raven's hand. Raven shoved Chung's hand away from me, causing him to stumble and curse. "Dammit Crow!"

"Don't you know it's impolite to ask about a woman's scars? I know what I saw, why are you so interested in it?" Raven demanded, stepping in front of me.

"Cuz I think that someone involved with the destruction of Hamel gave her that scar!" Chung yelled, advancing forward to grab Raven's collar.

"Wait, what? Who?!" I yelled, and he paused his advance to glare at me. "Are you familiar with the demon Ara?"

I gulped. "Um… Maybe? I haven't heard of her before…" Complete lie.

His eye narrowed, and he hissed, "You little liar…"

"Wolf." Raven stated. "She doesn't know Ara."

Chung glared harshly at Raven, venomously stating, "How do you know? Maybe she does and just isn't telling me?"

"Why do you want to know about Ara so much?" I yelled, cutting him off. It came out sounding like I was defending her, and I didn't mean for it to. Shit, now he'll definitely know…

"… She… She gave me this." He turned his back and pulled his jacket off, dropping it to the floor, before pulling his shirt up over his head. His pony tail got caught in the collar and stayed off his back, revealing three large scars running from his fight shoulder blade down to his left hip. They were dark on his pale skin and made my scars look like nothing. Whereas mine were just slashes, his looked like a tiger had ripped right through his back. "Wh-what happened?"

He pulled his shirt back on and grabbed his jacket, throwing it over his shoulder as he turned back to us. "She was the one who drove Hamel to it's demise. It was when Crow left us, watched from the clock tower as she cornered us and mowed us down one by one. Here, I'll tell you everything that happened…"

"When we went back to Hamel, after you left and before Elsword was imprisoned, it was just me and Raven. Elsword, Aisha, and Eve were at different places at the time, and god knows what you were doing, seeing as you went through the portal. We arrived in Hamel to be greeted by my best friend, Tavris, and his wife, Sasha. When I left, he was crowned the new prince, and I formally passed the title on to him some years before. He had married the wear priestess Sasha after we saved her and banished Ran, before leaving for Sander.

Anyway, he informed me that a horde of demons was coming from a portal opened near Hamel's boundaries. We set to work, evacuating the women, children, elderly, and the young men who didn't know how to fight, the apprentices. I remember before Sasha left, she ran to Tavris, and they held each other for so long, crying that they would be apart. "Just keep the baby safe, alright? I'll return when this is over, so I can see you both."

"Promise me." Sasha had said, and they sealed the deal with a kiss.

I remember the tears in his eyes as he waved her off. It was like he would never see her again.

That night, the first wave of demons came. It wasn't hard to fight off, but as the hours went, they got tougher and tougher to fight. Soon, we were fighting at least an army each. A week passed, and they started to let up, give us some slack… But then our soldiers started going missing. They'd be out on patrol and someone would hear a scream, so they'd go investigate and never come back. It was like some monster was snatching them up and eating them.

It was during this time that Tavris made me promise him something. He asked me to stay alive, for Sasha, to protect her and his child. I told him that even if my body was rotting, I'd still fight to protect them. He smiled at me, and that was the last time we talked outside of battle.

The next night, the demons attacked us again. Wave after wave of glitters and dark elves, battering us with everything they had. We fight back as hard as we could, until our forces dwindled down to so few, it was in the single digits. One of the elves had taken my eye, and Raven was missing, probably to scared too fight them (Chung earned a harsh glare from the noirette). They cornered us and mowed us down till only Tavris and I were left. We were back to back nearly out of ammo, and so low on energy Tavris almost passed out with exhaustion. But we kept fighting, for the sake of Hamel, for Sasha.

At one point, the demons backed off. We thought they had given up and got tired and were going to give us a break. Tavris collapsed to the ground, sighing a quick prayer of thanks, when suddenly, I saw blood spurt from his chest and he collapsed. I stood in silence for a second, before reacting and running to his side, propping him up. I held him in my arms, crying as I watched his life slip away. "Chung…"

"Tavris- Hang on, don't speak, I'll get you out of this-" I started, but he held my cheek and whispered, "No. I'm not going to survive, I know that. You were… You were my brother, my family… I want you to protect Sasha and my child. Please Chung, for me… Please…"

"Tavris- Tav- TAVRIS!" I cried over his body for what felt like an hour, and still Raven was no where to be seen. I remember, the first time I did look up and open my eyes, I saw him at the top of the clock tower, siting and watching me. Rage boiled inside of me, how could he have just stood up there and watched? He could have come and helped us fight, maybe saved Tavris from whatever had killed him… At that point, I realized that the hit to his back wasn't completely random, but was and very well placed. It tucked under his armor and pierced right between his shoulder blades, a place that was weakly guarded on his armor. As I moved to examine it, a sharp pain erupting in my arm. I yelped, tumbling away and grabbing my cannon, turning to see a white-haired girl covered in orange and white rags and no shoes. Bandages wrapped around her legs and arms, and the skin on her stomach had one short scar stretching from her hip to her belly button; it was still new. She held a long, white-bladed pike in one hand, elaborately decorated with gold and red. It was covered in blood, and in the other hand, she one of the Glitter's spears. Her eyes were cruel and mocking, and her face had red markings all over it. "You mad?"

"Mad? MAD?!" I shrieked, charging her, but she knocked me aside. I stumbled and readied my cannon to shoot her, but she was suddenly right in front of me, grinning. She thrust her spear forward, before swinging it and knocking me off my feet, sending me crashing to the ground. I coughed, and she stood over me, crushing me with the weight of her foot, the red spear at my chest. "Hello, Chung. My name is Ara. It's nice to finally meet you."

"What are you talking about? Who are you?!" I screamed, but she jabbed the other spear forward and shallowly cut my cheek. "I'm a demon. I was… Hired by Chloe to kill you." She grinned over me and pulled her first spear back, ready to drive it forward. I rolled away and knocked her off her feet, getting up to shell her to death as payback for Tavris, when she disappeared and reappeared behind me with a flash. "You-"

She rushed forward and did three wide slashes with her spear, tearing my armor right off my back and leaving long gashes up my skin. I hit the floor with a cough and and curled into a ball, the pain proving too much. I watched my armor disintegrate, the Guardian stone materializing in my hands. I was about to pull it close and protect it, when she came over, stepped on my arm with bone-crushing force, and stabbed through the stone with her spear. I screamed under her, pleading as she dug her spear into my hand and jerked it around creating a gaping hole there. She pulled her spear away and kneeled down next to me, whispering, "You're just pathetic. Can't even defeat a woman. I'll make sure Chloe knows of this, and thank Raven for backing out and leaving you to me."

My eyes widened as she left. Raven was the one who sold us out? He was the reason Tavris was dead, the reason I was missing my stone… It was his fault. All of Hamel's downfall was his fault."

Chung shot a final glare at Raven, hissing, "And now you know where the roots of my hatred for him lies."

"But… I'm sorry, I didn't know that's how Hamel… Oh god, Chung…" I blinked back my tears, holding my chest. For Chung to hold so much hatred towards Ara… How could she have killed Tavris though? Last I saw her, she was in such a terrible mental condition she could barely even speak, let alone pick up a sword or walk… I couldn't believe he was talking about the same Ara.

"So truthfully, do you know the demon that killed my brother?" Chung asked one last time. I shook my head again, saying, "No. I don't know why you keep asking, it's obvious I don't."

"God, why do you all insist on lying, you know I can see through them, right?" Chung started to rant, turning his back on us to wave his hands about angrily. After a few moments, he took a calming breath, before turning back around and starting, "Listen, so Ara-"

"Chung, you can't hurt her." Raven said sternly, cutting him off. Chung gave him a very angry glare, and grabbed his collar, yelling, "What do you mean by that?!"

"Ara is dead. She… I killed her myself. When we expelled Ran from Hamel, he made a deal with her fox spirit, En, and then killed her. He broke Ara's mind, she was in such a bad mental condition, she couldn't even move. She got better, but she… She begged me to kill her, and then threatened to kill herself. Elsword doesn't know about this yet, and I can't tell him, or he'll probably flip his shit." Raven explained. As he spoke, Chung let go of his collar and backed up eye wide. "She- She's dead-? You killed her- So then… was what she told me true…?"

He narrowed his eye and lunged forward, screaming, "YOU'RE LYING TO ME! SHE CAN'T BE DEAD BEFORE I GET TO HER-!"

"RAVEN-!" A shrill cry suddenly pierced the air, followed by the sound of multiple explosions and the angered cries of Glitters and Dark Elves. Raven looked up to see the tail end of a rotating purple sphere, and he hollered, "Back to the camp, we're under attack!"

"No shit, smart ass!" Chung yelled back chasing after Raven and leaving me in the dust. I hesitated for a short second, before summoning energy into Erendil's sheath and running after them. The closer we got, the more destruction there was, with Dark Elves and Glitters running amok, shrieking at each other to stand up and fight instead of running. I hissed at their hypocrisy and thrust Erendil forward, stabbing a dark elf in the chest before she even saw it coming. Another glitter charged at me, and I pivoted to meet it's blade, slashing across it's side and killing it instantly. I was about to summon some Karma, when someone burst through the trees with two blades in their hand causing more carnage than needed.

I stared, wide eyed, as Elsword tore through the mob, ripping off limbs and slashing sides with this joyful grin on his face. He jumped, kneeing a Dark Elf in the back and stood over her, raising his blade to stab her in the chest-

I gasped and lunged forward, knocking his blade away from him and kicking him out of the way. He hit the floor with a loud thud, and got up with a cross expression. "Wha'the hell d'ya think you're doin'?!"

"Do you even remember what you told me about letting you hurt anything? I can't allow you to continue!" I yelled at him, unloading my blade from the Dark Elf's chest. He flinched and backed up, kneading his fingers. "Aw shit.. Uh, yeah… Damn, thanks, I guess…"

I sighed and turned back to the mob which had cleared sightly, but behind the corpses, the trees were starting to smoke and burn. "It's alright, but we have to go help Raven and them, they look like they're in trouble. Come on!"

SHE'S TRYING TO REBUILD HER TRUST BUT SHE KEEPS HAVING TO LIE D: IT'S NOT FAIR D':
