Chapter 13: The Red Strings of Fate

(Vlad's POV)

It is morning the time to start our visit from those people whom I fought. I came to the battleship near the shore, I walk on board to see Master Wally and three people behind him.

"Ah Vlad good to see you regained your strength." he said with happiness in his voice.

"I just did what you told to me master." I replied as I bow down before him. He just chuckled at my words.

"I would like you to meet your fellow comrades. This is Soul, Xyza and Sandra." he announced and pointed each one of them. Soul has a white coat on with a white pants, gloves, shoes, vest, shirt, shoes and even his sword. Everything is white, I look at him and he has blue eyes. Next was Xyza she wears a hoodie with long sleeves and a skirt that reaches her thighs it looks color white with a few gold outlines. She also wears white boots that reaches to her legs and she has two mini bows on both of her back hands (I don't remember what it is called). Lastly was Sandra, she is wearing a pink dress that reaches to her legs and it has red color outlines and she also wears pink gloves, pink hat and pink boots also reaches her legs. I don't know what she has but I guess I will know later.

"Nice to meet you all." I greeted them nicely

"Nice to meet you too Vlad." Soul replied but the two didn't answer. "Don't mind them they are quite good when you get to know them better." he added and I nodded in return.

"That settles it let us set sail." Master Wally said in a monotone voice.

"Yes master." We all said in unison and went to our specific role in the ship. I look at Master Wally who is just standing there, I think he is thinking something but I can't figure it out. I shrug of my thoughts and return to my duty.

(Ara's POV)

I walk along with Blake as he will report everything that happen during our mission to Stella. I can't help it but rest my head onto his shoulder and hold his hand while we are walking. Not too soon we finally arrived at Stella's office. I said to Blake I will wait here outside while he will give his report about everything. It's sure is happy to see Lucs and his friends finally together again.

(Luc's POV)

Everything sure is now boring, we are waiting for Ara and Blake to come back so we can go to Velder and it seems it took longer than it should be. I am just staring outside the window hoping to see something big but I know I can't find something like that here. It sure became quiet since we solved all the problems here on Bethma and I can't wait to go to Velder and see a new city.

"Hey Lucs you ok? You have been staring outside the window all morning." Lucia said. I look at her quickly as possible.

"Yeah I'm ok. I just can't wait to go to another place." I replied.

"Oh... Hey Lucs want a sparring?" she said as she plays her fingers. I was surprised about what she said, I just smiled and nodded.

We went out of the inn and go to an empty road. It can't be helped by not finding a good place to spar. I see Lucia took out her daggers and changed to her battle position, I shrug off my thoughts for now and enjoy this time with Lucia. Not too soon both of us dash to each other and our daggers clashed.

(Eve's POV)

Everyone is really having their own time. I am busy doing modifications to Oberon and Ophelia. It sure is tough giving them parts and stuff. I am doing a fine progress so far but someone knocked the door. I stopped myself and removed the sweat I have on my face. I opened the door and it was Elsword.

"Hi Eve I brought some food." he said with a smile while he is holding a plate with bacon and eggs and I was left clueless about it but I think it is rude not to accept his food.

"Thanks Elsword." I replied in a monotone voice and took away the plate from his hands. I don't know what to do now and Elsword is just staring right in front of me. We were crept with an awkward silence but I really should go back working on Oberon and Ophelia.

"Do you need some help?" Elsword ask and I was shocked. I am thinking to myself if should I accept it or not but in the end I gave up and accepted his offer.

"Yeah, I am making modifications to Oberon and Ophelia." I replied in a monotone voice. And so he entered my room and closed the door behind him. He was amazed about my works in mechanics especially to Moby, Remy, Oberon and Ophelia. I can help but something in my chest is starting to feel weird. I tried to keep it in for the moment and start to eat the food Elsword brought me. It was really delicious and I can't stop eating it by its wonderful taste. While I was eating the food I saw Elsword giggled, I don't know why he is giggling and I was curious to ask.

"Uhh... Is something funny?" I ask him curiously and still giggling. I titled my head in confusion then he was finished giggling.

"You are just so cute when you are eating with that face." he said with a warm smile on his face.

I don't know why but suddenly I feel a weird feeling on my chest and I feel like I am about to explode. I don't understand it at all but I will try to ignore it and return to my work. I feel more shaky now because of this weird feeling I have on my chest, I took the hammer to continue on the armor I was working for Oberon. It was going fine until I suddenly hit my finger. I screamed in pain and Elsword quickly went to my side.

"Are you alright Eve?" he quickly said as he take a look at my hand. I looked at it and it is swollen and so painful too. Elsword quickly took the med-kit in the cabinet of and took out a small cloth and some alcohol. He opened the alcohol and poured some on the injury, I bit my lip to prevent the pain and then he covered it with the cloth. He wrapped it a little tight but it is already good enough, I was about to thank him until he suddenly kissed the finger. I'm starting to feel my cheeks is getting hot. Elsword looked at me with a warm smile and I didn't notice that I am smiling to him as well. We stared at each other for the rest of the time after all what happened.

(Aisha's POV)

It is Raven's turn to cook food for us today and I decided to help him a bit. Right now he is cooking some meat while I am dicing some vegetables. I can't stop looking at him with all his body, eyes, and face. I feel my face heating up and I quickly look back to dicing the vegetables I was supposed to do. When I returned my gaze to the vegetables I can feel that Raven is staring at me right now and I can feel my face heating up some more. I start to chop the vegetables faster and faster as my face heats up some more, while I am chopping the vegetables a hand stopped me from continuing it. I look at Raven who look confused at my actions but I need to hide it somehow.

"Is something wrong?" he suddenly asked and my brain suddenly panicked as he speak to me.

"Y-yeah I'm fine, e-everything is fine." I imaginatively face palmed myself because I stutter a bit. I look at Raven now has a smile printed on his face then hugged me all of a sudden. I was shocked but I becoming relaxed every second.

"If there is something you want to say to me I will hear it." he whispered to my ear but I feel very calm by being embraced by his arms and I decide to speak up.

"I-I like you Ra-Raven." I stutter out but it seems I said it properly. He chuckled and he hugged me some more.

After that he broke the hug and returned to cooking the meat. I don't know why he broke the hug and didn't say anything but I guess he also like me as well. I can see him having a warm smile now instead of a normal emotionless face. I feel so enlightened though by seeing him happy like this. I return to helping him making food for the gang and this starts my new path with Raven.

(Chung's POV)

I really need to repair and polish my pistols and my cannon. Maybe I should really stop smashing my cannon at everything I guess. I tried to find my polisher but it seems I can't find it. I guess I left it at the table of Eve's room again. I stood up and opened the door and closed it. I turned around and accidentally bump with someone and we both fell the ground and I am being pulverize. I grunted in pain and I look clearer to the one whom I bump, she had long blonde hair, green eyes and green clothes. After a while I notice it was Rena, she has her eyes still closed I guess she is knocked out by that bump. I put her aside first and I stood up and maintain my composure. Before I carry her I noticed she is holding something. I look carefully and it was my polisher.

"I guess I need to thank her when she get up." I thought to myself and I carry her bridal style. She sure is heavy but my armor is a lot more heavier than her. I tried to reach for the doorknob without letting her go and I manage to do it. I kick the door open and I walk inside the room. I lay her down to my bed and polish my weapons. I don't know why but I always ended up staring at Rena instead of polishing my weapons. But really she sleeps so peaceful and she is so cute too but I think she can't wake up from that bump and I will take care of her for now.

(Venta's POV)

It was really boring right now. It is just me and Solar. I only play with my fingers while Solar is just reading some random magazines. It really would be nice if I hang out with my friends but I think they are not here now. But come to think of it I only know Solar only a bit. We don't talk so much I wonder why. I guess now is the time to change that. I stood up from my chair and walk sit right next to him.

"Hey Solar what are you reading?" I ask him nicely while tapping his shoulder to get his attention. At first he didn't notice but the second time I tapped his shoulder he look at me with a straight face.

"Oh um, it is about a prince who swore that he will protect his princess from any harm and always stay by her side." He replied in a monotone voice and his eyes is still staring at the magazine. He quickly returned reading it and I became curious. I peek a little and read some of its content, It was the part that the prince is trying to protect the princess from a surprise attack of bandits. But I quickly interrupted as I noticed Solar was staring at me, I feel embarrassed a bit but he remained calm as usual.

"Want to read it too?" He ask me and I just nodded in reply, then he move closer to me and he put his arm around me and hold the book with both hands. I am confused right now but I guess I will leave this slide for now and enjoy the moment. It is the first time I am close to Solar now and I don't want to waste it. I rest my head onto his shoulder while he reads the story for me.

(Marito's POV)

Today I am with Jannet outside and we will experiment something that might be helpful for my weapons. If it worked it can also help our friends too. We both found a perfect place, a simple field of Bethma. Jannet brought out a big mat and I help her to set it on the ground. It was simple and we sat down. Without time to waste Jannet brought her materials and I brought out my ammunition and other weapons like swords, claymore, great swords. But we decide to try mine first. I took out a few bullets while Jannet is setting her stuff, then we are all set. I gave first one bullet to Jannet then she pick up her test tube and put some of her red potion in it and some other things then she finally put the bullet. She swings the tube a little to mix the things in it and after a while the other materials she put disappeared and the bullet is starting to glow.

"Is it suppose to be like that?" I question her as I am confused why the bullet is glowing.

"Hmm I think so, try using it." she said as she put a finger on her chin. I nodded as a reply and I took out my handgun and loaded the bullet into the chamber. Surprisingly Jannet threw a wooden box and I think that will be the target, I quickly aim the box and shoot it. I expected nothing but when the bullet went out of my gun it was like a little fireball, I was really shocked and amazed at the same time to think that it really works, Jannet's idea works! Both of us hold hand and jump up and down with full of joy. It lasted for a while then I notice some people are looking at us and she notice it too, we quickly let go and turned around. I am really embarrassed at just what happened I don't know what came over me. I start to turn around again and see that Jannet is playing with her fingers and her cheeks are a bit pink.

"Hey uhh.. Well it's a success." I said proudly and she smiled to know that her idea was perfect. "Well that is our Jannet, smart, intelligent, caring and cute." I chuckle a bit on the last one I thought and I had to admit she really is cute. But for now we need to get back to work.

"Come on Jannet we still need to try the swords." I blurted out and she suddenly went out of her thoughts and nodded in reply.

(Blake's POV)

I explained every situation that we found during our stay here in Bethma and make sure that it is understandable for Stella.

"I see so everything is now at ease then." She said in a monotone voice.

"Yes, we solved everything we encounter here in Bethma." I reassure her and she has a smile printed on her face.

"Well that sure is expected to the El Gang. Thank you for your help Blake." she replied with happiness.

"It is our pleasure to help." I said nicely and left her office.

And as suspected Ara is waiting for me, I just smiled and we start to walk back to the inn. It sure is nice to have Ara around to accompany me and it makes me happy. Besides I can't wait to tell everyone that we can go home now. I can't wait to go back to Velder.

Silver: And cut!

Blake: Aww~ how sweet everyone has their own couple.

Everyone except Blake and Silver: *blushes*

Silver: Hihihi well it is nice to see some bonding time.

Oh and sorry for the long delay I just happened to postpone my work due to uhm... health problems maybe but I promise chapter 14 will be release faster than it should be.

Blake: Just don't push yourself too hard ok Silver.

Silver: I will, and those other OC's I am planning to join the story in chapter 14 somehow but I will manage to join them in the story so don't worry.
