Elsword – Rune Slayer
Please imagine him as a little kid :D
Raven tilted his head. "Client? Oh! Are you an assassin?!"
I nodded and lowered my head.
"That's cool!"
I stared at him in disbelief. Did he just say I'm cool? "I didn't know an assassin can carry a weapon that big! You're amazing!"
"B-But I killed your fiancée!" I shouted at him.
His eyes are sparkling. "Really?! How?!"
This guy's brain is broken or something. "Raven, look—"
"I didn't even see you back then! You're a pro!" Raven clapped his hands.
"How can you be so happy with this?" I asked. This guy needs surgery. We really have to go to hospital right now.
"It's your job, right? I can't blame you," he smiled.
I sigh. "I'm not surprised that your previous partner left you".
"Because I'm too happy about anything?" he laughed. He takes a peek outside. "Hey, we can come out now!"
"Is it really safe?" I asked. "I'm not sure I can fly as fast as you can. I'm still new at this".
"Come with me!" he pulled my hand and flew quickly to nowhere. "Tell me the direction!"
I look at the town. Most of the building colors are yellow. There's also a statue of a man in the middle of the town. Oh, wait, this is a village. "Just fly forward!" I shouted.
Without asking any question, he took me to fly forward. "There! The white one!" I pointed the building.
"Elder Hospital"
"Are we going to enter from the front door?" I asked. Many people are there and I don't know what would happen if we go there casually. For example, everyone will be surprised and one of them would throw the nearest thing to us.
"They can't see us. Don't worry!" he kept moving forward.
"Okay then. 9th floor!"
"Alright!"
We go to 9th floor. We're standing in front of a door.
I opened the door slowly, so it doesn't make any sound. "Hey! He would think there's a ghost or something!" Raven shouted.
"He's not," I shook my head. "If he did, that means a ghost is here literally".
He looked at me confusedly. "So, your brother can see ghosts?"
I nodded. "He always said something like 'that woman is funny!' or 'he's talking with me all the time!' while pointing the corner of the room. Well, no one was there. Just the two of us".
"That's cool!" he smiled. "Can he see some of my friends too? They got killed as well!"
He's impressed with anything. I don't understand.
"I like sponge cake too!" a boy shouted from inside the room.
"Who is he talking to?" Raven asked.
"A ghost, of course," I answered.
We go inside. My brother is sitting on the corner, talking with a wall. I believe he's talking with a ghost. He turned around and looked at me.
He LOOKED at me.
Raven said people can't see us! What the hell?!
"Sis?"
I look at him in disbelief. "Els?"
"You can see us? That's amazing!" Raven looked at Elsword, my brother, with sparkling eyes. "Hey! Maybe you can help us with things!"
I have to smack his head once in a while. For a better future.
Elsword stared at Raven for a moment, and then he smiled, "Seris' fiancée, Raven!"
"You know my name? That's cool! Hi, Elesis' brother!" Raven waved his hand cheerfully.
"Just call me Els," Elsword smiled back. "Seris told me!"
Seris?
"Seris?" Raven tilted his head. "Where?"
"Here," Elsword pointed the corner—which is nothing.
"Oh? Seris!" Raven waved his hand again. "Why are you here?"
"She keeps asking why you didn't save her," Elsword replied.
"I tried, but I can't! I'm so sorry!" Raven bowed.
"That's my sis, Elesis," Elsword said to the ghost. Suddenly he laughed. "I wonder why my name is not Elebro too!"
I sigh. "Sometimes I'm happy that he can talk with ghosts, so he doesn't feel lonely".
"It's not fair! Seris can see me, but I can't see her!" Raven protested.
"Sis, Seris wants you to take care of Raven for her," Elsword said to me.
"Leave it to me!" I smiled.
"Huh? You're going?" Elsword asked in disappointment. "W-What? You have to go now?" he looked at the corner with teary eyes. "No! Don't leave me! We've been together for 6 months! Seris, don't go!" he cried.
"So Seris was here from the time she's dead?" Raven asked to himself. "Hey, are the others were here too? Call them here so he won't get lonely!"
Can he read the situation?!
I flew toward Elsword. "Els, she has to go. She's going to a better place, but she'll always watch you. Don't cry".
"But Adam left me a year ago!" he sobbed.
Adam?
"And granny left me last month!" he sobbed.
Granny?
"Goodbye, Seris!" Raven smiled.
After that, silence fills the room.
"Come on, Els, don't cry!" I smiled.
Elsword wiped his tears. "Sis, why are you smaller?" he asked.
I explained the situation to him. "Magic? I can do that!" he smiled.
"Really? Please teach me!" Raven looked at Elsword with full of hopes.
Elsword summoned fire from his hands. "Ta-daa!"
Raven clapped his hands. "Amazing!"
"Okay, Raven, it's like flying. Feel it!" I commanded. "You have to feel the magical power from your body!"
Raven closed his eyes.
Nothing happened.
He opened his eyes. "Did I do something?!"
"No," I sighed. "Try that again".
Elsword summoned rune in front of Raven. "Cool!" he amazed.
"You can do it! It's easy!" Elsword smiled. "Just imagine it!"
Raven closed his eyes again. Dark aura appeared around him. I have a bad feeling about this.
"Boo!"
Raven startles. Elsword laughs at him. "Hey! Don't surprise me like that!" Raven protested.
"You were concentrating!" Elsword giggled. "Are you going to concentrate like that in war?"
"Of course!" Raven smiled. "So, did something happen?"
"Dark aura," I said.
"It's dangerous! Can you control it?" Elsword asked.
Raven looks at his hands. "Yeah, I think".
"I'll learn how to fly better while you learn how to control that," I said. I fly around because I'm still not familiar with this kind of thing.
A rune comes toward me. I move away from it and Elsword is laughing. I think he wants to disturb us, but that's okay, as long as he's happy.
We've spent our time until evening, so I guess it was around 6 hours.
"Are we good to go?" I asked Raven. He nodded and gave a thumb-up.
"Where are you going?" Elsword asked.
"We don't know, but the point is we have to fight against the other teams," I answered.
"Don't go!"
I stared at him. He's looking at me with tears in his eyes. "Els, I—"
"Sis, Raven, stay here! Don't leave—"
Suddenly he fell to the floor as he held his chest and breathed heavily.
"H-How do we call a doctor? Doctor!" Raven turned the light on and off. I don't know what's on his mind.
I fly closer to the glass on the table and push it.
Crash!
Elsword is lying down on the bed unconscious. I just look at him. Do I really have to leave him?
"Hey, I forgot to tell you, but he's our supporter on this war," Raven informed.
"Support?" I narrowed my eyes at him. "Raven, explain".
Raven startled. "Whoa, chill!"
"Tell me," I threatened.
"Four people in the world can see us. Each one of them supports one team, so—"
I crossed my arms. "Are you telling me we're going to take him to war?"
"Nope!" he smiled. "I'm sure he's fine by himself! Other teams can't kill him anyway!"
I give a sigh of relief. "Yeah, he'll be fine. You know my brother too well, even though you just met".
Raven laughs. "Really? I just said that because we opened the door silently and he noticed us!"
I opened the door. "Let's go!" I shouted as I exit the room.
He follows me. "Are you sure? He doesn't want you to leave".
I nod. "I know, but we have to come back quickly".
He raises his one eyebrow, "don't tell me you haven't paid the bills".
"That's the problem!" I shouted. "Let's just get this over with!"
"Should we start by killing other supporter?" he smirked.
I smiled. "Why not?"
I'm sure he used to kill people. This is good!
