It was already midnight as Rena woke up. The moon lit her room completely up. The green-haired saw the message her father left for her. She took the piece of paper and started to read: "My dear daughter ... I told you I'd give your husband Karu's last energy, but I lied. By now, I am dead ... because I gave all my energy to Elsword. Your mother and I will be united in the afterlife again ... I just couldn't live without her. I hope you understand how I feel and I hope you can forgive me ... I wish you and Elsword a long and happy life from now on."
As Rena read the letter she cried, both her parents were dead now. She left the house and searched for Elsword.
As Rena entered the little hospital she saw her father lying face down on the floor. Sentoki laid there dead in the only lit up place. Elsword sat on the bed, hidden in the shadow and his face covered by his hands. Rena knelt next to her father body, to see for herself if he really was dead.
The elf looked at her husband, he was in shock. She sat down on the bed and softly touched one of his hands. "Elsword ...", she whispered. The red-haired hugged his wife. "I'm so sorry ... Your father, he ...", he started, but Rena interrupted him: "I know what he did ... It's okay ... I understand why he wanted to do this." The green-haired spoke very calmly, she knew exactly how her father felt as he decided to give all his energy to Elsword.
"They'll bury my parents tomorrow ... after that we should go back to Velder ...", Rena said. The knight nodded slowly, he still was in shock. "Let's go to my old home ... I don't want to stay here any longer ...", the elf said and got up. Elsword nodded and followed her. "How's your leg? It's broken, isn't it?", she asked a little worried. "Since your father ... gave his energy to me ... it's like my leg wasn't broken at all ...", the knight answered. "At least one good thing ...", Rena murmured and entered her old house.
The whole night the elf had nightmares. When she was awake she pretended to be strong, but when she was asleep terrible nightmares haunted her. Elsword pulled her closer to him, so her ear laid against his chest. Everytime the green-haired had nightmares her husband held her close to him like that; it calmed her down and she slept peaceful. This time she still had nightmares, even though Elsword held her that close to him. Softly the red-haired stroke his wife's cheek. "Rena ... calm down ... it's just a dream. I'm here with you ... everything will be alright ...", he whispered. In her sleep the elf grabbed her husband's hand and murmered: "Elsword ... thank ... you ..." She smiled in her sleep and continued to sleep, now peaceful. Minutes later Elsword fell asleep as well.
Early in the morning Elsword woke from a sharp pain. His eyes flung open and he grabbed Erendil, Rena's sword to attack. A glitter monster stabbed the knight. Elsword destroyed the glitter's sword, leaving a piece of the sword in his chest. Fast he got up and killed that monster.
Rena woke from Elsword's fast movement and watched what happened in shock. The red-haired sat down on the bed again, breathing heavily. "Rena ... please ... pull that shard out of my chest ...", Elsword said. The knight's wound was bleeding a lot and Rena was scared the shard would have hit Elsword's heart. "If I pull that shard out ... your lung will collaspe ... you'll die if I pull the shard out ...", the elf said as tears started to run down her cheeks. "Rena ... please ... the shard will be moving ... It may hit my heart ... there would be no chance for me to survive ...", Elsword begged. The green-haired took a deep breath, then she said: "Alright ..." Rena tried to pull out the shard of her husband chest.
The elf was able to grab the shard. She felt Elsword's heart beating, the shard would have hit his heart if she didn't do what the knight said. Slowly and carefully she pulled the shard out of her husband's chest. "I ... I got the shard ...", Rena said, still a little shocked. "Thank ... you ...", Elsword replied, trying to breathe. "Hang in there! I'll get help!", the elf said fast and ran outside.
Two minutes later she returned. Rena ran over to Elsword and said: "I got some help ... Just hang in there for two more minutes!" The green-haired cried. The knight was gasping for air, but he grabbed Rena's hand and looked at her as if he wanted to promise her that he'd survive.
Just now another elf entered the room. He was tall, had short light green, almost blond hair and looked a lot like Rena. "Tenshi, brother ... please ... can you heal him?", she asked, still crying. "Yes ... I can heal him ... Father gave his energy to him, right?", he replied. Rena nodded. Tenshi walked over to Elsword and stopped right next to him. Rena's brother laid his hand on the knight's wounds and started to murmur something Elsword didn't understand. "You know, sister ... father was planning on giving you your energy back and your husband all of his energy anyways ... He didn't want to do this just because of mother's death ... He wanted you to live as an elf, and therefore he had to make your husband's life longer ...", Tenshi said. Rena stared at her brother, shocked about what he said. The older elf took his hand away from Elsword's chest, the wound seemed to be fully healed. "Don't move much ... and stay here for about one day ... this magic takes some time to have it's full effect.", Tenshi explained and was about to leave. "Thank you ...", Elsword said and closed his eyes, finally taking a deep breath. Tenshi left and Rena hugged her husband. "Thank God, my brother was able to help you!", she cried. Elsword wrapped his arms around Rena and whispered into her ear: "I'm happy too ... if I didn't have you by my side ... I'd be dead already." The knight brushed her tears away and kissed her.
