I don't own Elsword

Chapter 4

He stayed quiet for a while catching some breath.

Suddenly Aisha broke the silence.

"WHY DID YOU THINK COMING HERE ALONE AND FACING THAT

MONSTER WAS A GOOD IDEA?! WHY DIDN'T YOU COME HERE WITH THE OTHERS! OR ARE YOU AGAIN TOO SELFISH TO LET

YOUR FRIENDS HELP YOU OUT?!"

"Well... Aisha... I..."

"At least untie me, DUMMY!"

Elsword couldn't help it. He stood up with a sigh and destroyed

Aisha's chain in a blink of an eye.

Lost for his words, Elsword just scratched his head. And finally began to

talk.

"Aisha, I..."

In an instant Aisha cried and fell into Elsword's arms.

His body was covered with uncountable amount of wounds, but he still felt

comfortable with Aisha in his arms.

"Aisha, you know... that hurts a bit..."

"Don't give me that... dummy... dummy... dum..."

She went silent and hit his chest with her clenched fist softly.

"You could have died out there, yet you came... just... wh..."

"I love you."

Elsword touched with both hands Aisha's cheeks and both lips

touched each other.

The entire hall which was until now a huge battlefield became silent

for this short moment.

Aisha's eyes widened from the shock, but soon closed her eyes as she kissed back, feeling the breath of each other as they stayed like this for a while. They simply looked at each other after the kiss.

"You know... I'm sorry..."

Aisha wanted to apology as she still had regrets from what she said that day when they

broke up.

"No... I should apologize. My stubbornness drove us in this

situation..."

"Elsword..."

She blushed and went red all over her face because she realized that this was the first time she was kissed by a boy.

They went to the edge of the podium and afterwards both of them sat next

to each other while Aisha was leaning her head on his right shoulder.

"Are the others alright?"

"Yeah, I think so... Ouch!"

"Elsword's your wounds are incredibly severe"

"Well I'll manage..."

"IDIOT! You are acting tough again! I will treat your wounds once we get back!"

Elsword was very happy about this sentence since their fight started about

this topic.

"I am looking forward to it!"

Aisha was surprised by the honest answer coming from Elsword and

suddenly noticed something.

"Something... is wrong..."

"What's wrong Aisha?"

"I... can't focus my Mana..."

Elsword quickly understood the seriousness of the situation.

"Let's see what we can find in the giant Nasod. Maybe we find some clues

in there."

They went down from the podium and met up with their friends.

Raven was carrying Rena on his back since it seemed like she was

still unconscious.

Elsword looked at Rena with a worried face.

"She is fine now. She took a big hit by that Nasod and also used a

huge amount of Mana. Her wounds are not lethal so I think she just

has to rest a bit."

"That's good to hear." Aisha replied.

"Eve how are you?"

"I used very much off my power. Starting a new battle would be

unwise."

Elsword just popped up a thought.

"Eve... did you shoot at Wally? It saved my life back then."

"No, I didn't have that much power left for such an attack. You were

out of my range too. Right now I am only able to coordinate my

battle drones."

"Well, who else did then...?"

It kept bothering him for a while because he wanted to thank this

person since that shot saved his life.

Raven then took something out of his pocket which shined brightly

with a blue aura. Its shape was like a crystal.

"Elsword. I found this in the ruins of this giant Nasod. Do you know what

this could be?"

Aisha stepped in front of Elsword answering his question without any

hesitation.

"This thing... I am certain of it! It feels like my Mana is being stored in

there! I also saw that when I was being captured!"

"Is there a way to make it your own again?" Raven asked carefully.

"Since it's sealed I can't draw any of it... We need to break the seal

carefully..."

Elsword stepped forward again.

"Break the seal, huh?"

Raven let the crystal go out of his hand as it began to float in the air.

"Elsword, wha...?"

*CRACK* Elsword used a move called -Armour Break- by himself. He

bashed the object with the hilt of his sword.

The crystal was shattered into thousands of pieces.

"Elsword...YOU! DO YOU EVER LISTEN IF SOMEONE TALKS TO

YOU?! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET MY MANA BACK NOW?!"

Aisha was now full of anger.

"Well, you asked to break the seal!"

She was enraged again by Elsword's carelessness.

"I SAID TO BE CAREFUL!"

Aisha got weak at her feet and sunk on the ground.

Not knowing how to justify himself, Elsword began to talk.

"Eh... break, is break I think..."

"You don't understand at all..."

All of a sudden, the fragments of the crystal formed into a blue

shining dust covering Aisha completely and was consumed by her.

After a short break, everyone wondered what just had happened.

"My Mana! It's back!"

"See?! After all break means br...!"

Aisha was such filled with happiness she could not hold back and simply pressed her lips to Elsword's to express her gratitude.

Aisha stepped back after a moment.

"Be sure to be CAREFUL next time..."

"Yeah... I will..."

Elsword knew in the end that he was right, but he had no courage to

talk against Aisha again since she rewarded him in a grateful way.

"My...My...Aisha...you have become quite a woman!"

Aisha was shocked by the statement of the elf sitting on Raven's back.

Raven turned his head quickly around.

"Rena! Are you okay?!"

"I am still a bit numb..."

"I will carry you home then!"

"You don't have to."

"I deeply insist to do so!"

Rena sighed, but was truly happy that Raven cared about her so much.

"So I don't have a choice then... Please take care of me 'my' Raven."

Raven blushed a bit. "What does 'my Raven' means?"; he thought of it for

a while.

"Rena! You are soooo mean to pretend being unconscious until now!"

Rena just turned her head in Aisha's direction stretching her tongue out

while smiling happily at her and closed her left eye.

All of them started to turn around and left the former battlefield. Eve

suddenly sunk into her thoughts. She recalled the kiss of the couple and

asked herself how it would feel like to fall in love.

By searching for the definition of "love" in her data, some key words

were marked in her head "to care for someone", "protecting

someone", "become one".

The last one bothered her the most because she did not know what

"become one" exactly meant.

She instinctively touched her lips with her finger tips and

blushed instantly.

"This... must be an error of the emotion control unit

again!...Yeah...I... am sure of it..." She whispered to herself.

Since she was last in their line no one was able to hear her

whispering.

Elsword turned around because he wanted to make sure that Eve was okay.

"Is everything alright, Eve?"

She suddenly blushed even more. She asked herself how it would feel

like to be kissed by someone you love.

"No... it's... nothing..."

"Stop bothering Eve, Elsword!"

Aisha crossed her arms around her chest and turned around.

"I was just a bit worried."

"Worry about your own injuries first!"

"Yeah, got it..."

Elsword sighed turned around and started walking again. Arriving at the

dungeon entrance Lowe and the El-Scouts asked what happened. The

Elgang told them the whole story of what had happened and afterwards the

scout members nodded, going into the Dungeon to arrest the rest of the

survived soldiers. They offered help to the friends who seemed

exhausted but all of them declined and left for their home. Arriving at their

home, Elsword collapsed.

"ELSWORD!"

All of them shouted his name. His face went pale drawing his breath

heavily.

"Aisha...I..."

Aisha who was the most worried, sunk to her knees right next to him.

"Elsword, you idiot... you are acting all cool again!"

Her face was covered with fear. All of them did not waste any time.

They took his armour and his clothings of and saw that his body was in a

miserable condition. At that instant Elsword's vision became dark and fell

unconscious

"Yo!"

In front of him was a red-haired young man dressed in black leather

clothes.

It was -Rune-Slayer-.

"Didn't I tell you not to show up here again?"

Elsword smiled a bit because -Rune-Slayer- was right.

He recognized his smile as an answer to his question and continued

talking.

"You did a good job out there big hero!"

"Hmpf. Don't make fun of me. You know exactly that my friends

helped me out and I would be dead right now if they didn't have

them join the fight."

"That's true, but a hero sometimes needs some help too."

"Yeah, whatever..."

A short silence occurred. There was no talking needed.

-Rune-Slayer- observed the whole scenery of the battle already.

"So what will you do now?"

"Train harder of course! So that I will surpass my sister and be able

to protect Aisha without any help!"

-Rune-Slayer- answered then with a faint smile.

"This time I won't have you to beat you conscious again, but you won't

have any training for a while..."

Elsword doubtfully looked at -Rune-Slayer- while his face went blur and

finally Elsword's vision turned white.
