So I'm really sorry if this chapter is crap... :( T.T i have no idea what happens in Sander I just can't get a grip on it Ive had my friends (Donoricko TT) explain it to me and (Keruru YR) both capped but i still don't understand :'( my NW (which is actually my name on this) is only lv 59 so im not gonna wait till i get to sander to write this chapter I realize i said two days ad its been to me what feels like 2 moths IM SORRY T.T i may fix this chapter later if i fudge up too much but here is me trying to write this for u guys XD
"So far from the intel I've collected the wind priestess Anudran came to Sander hoping to resolve the problems between it and Caluso Tribe, but she's been captured. Sander does not want to be blamed and accused for this. They have sent messengers to Caluso Tribe to tell them the bad news. Some people in Sander suspect that Keliano the harpy leader has captured Anudran while others think that a demon lady named Karis did it. The news and gossip gets very jumbled at that point and I can no longer distinguish between fact and suspicion," Eve said in her usual monotone.
"Well lets go talk with Keliano then," Elsword said bluntly.
"Wait," Vapor stopped the group," You will need this," she handed them a harpy feather.
"What for?" Aisha asked quizzically.
"It's the symbol of an old peace treaty between humans and harpies," Vapor was interrupted.
"Hey Rena elves are always left out of these kinds of things it seems," Add said butting in as usual.
"Well we are surrounded by humans not elves," Rena reminded him," so naturally elves aren't the most important creature right now," she said rubbing the back of her head.
"As I was saying," Vapor continued slightly irritated," Not even a proud harpy like Keliano would ignore you after seeing this feather."
***********(group goes to see Keliano they have done first dungeon that's how they know Anudran is captured I'm gonna say they don't know who Karis was)
"How dare you humans show me that feather! After breaking the treaty that feather only fuels my hatred! Not even including how you're polluting the Wind!" said Keliano full of rage and hatred.
**********(back to sander)
"...and that's what she said," Elsword finished angry at what had happened.
"Well there was a featherless harpy body found," Vapor said looking away," Try talking to Emirate about it he watches the market closely."
"No no harpy feathers have been in the market. I check the goods myself," Emirate said.
"Well just don't go through Garpai Canyanon Keliano threatened that she'd kill who ever went through there," Ara said.
"NO! The messengers went through there!" Emirate said instantly ready to take action.
"We'll save them don't worry," Rena said with a smile.
************************************(garpai canyon)
"These harpies fight with all they've got," I said.
"Well they have something to fight for," Rena said. Still though they're in the wrong. They shouldn't be-
"Elesis to your left!" Chung shouted at me. I quickly slashed and dispelled the on coming harpy. We've all become so strong. We reached Keliano rather quickly.
"Keliano give us the messengers!" Elsword shouted. Keliano didn't just hand them over though. We fought for a while till finally defeating Keliano and rescuing the messengers. Ara escorted them back to Sander telling them we'd tell Caluso Tribe. Keliano gave us almost nothing about anything except a very vague message about Trock's liar or something.
"I think we should go there" Chung shrugged as we sat around the fire we'd made for our camp.
"Why not?" Ara said as she was returning. I gave her a look that said no hard feelings.
"Why not? because that was Keliano. She wasn't friendly. She wasn't even cooperative. We shouldn't just do as she says. If I were captured by the enemy I wouldn't give them advice I would try to send them to their death which is what Keliano is probably doing," I said.
"Well we can't just not check it out," Chung said.
"I got it!" Rena said putting her fist on her hand," Myself, Eve, Raven, and Add can go check it out?" she asked looking for approval from the team.
"How'd you get that group?" Ara asked innocently meaning no offense to Rena.
"I'm a Night Watcher this kind of thing would be pretty easy for me. Add and Eve can work together with a nasod to also help, and Raven too has experience with these kinds of things," Rena said thoughtfully.
"Oh what should the rest of us do then while you're away?" Aisha asked.
"We can gather as much information as we can until their return," Chung pointed out. Inwardly I sighed.
"Just be careful guys," I said feel slightly sad knowing Chung was right yet they didn't head my caution.
Soon it was just Chung and I. "Elesis I understand your concern, but really we can handle ourselves we've done so much already. Don't worry. Your face is to beautiful for that. Besides you need to spend your energy else where," Chung made me blush at his compliment.
"While you are right the time will come when you wish you would have headed my caution," I said knowingly. We gathered information together all night waiting for the return of the four. Chung and I did more play than information gathering I think.
"I miss Hamel's water already," Chung sighed.
"We would've understood if you'd stayed there Chung,"I said understanding how much he already missed home.
"But then what would you have done. I promise to stay with you Elesis. I won't make you choose between myself and your brother," he said with the utmost care. I'm sure my face was as red as my hair. Chung gentle stroked my cheek smiling.
"Hey wrong time wrong place for that," Raven interrupted us. You're probably right. Oh well this for the best. "Where's everyone else? We have information and planning to do," Raven said as serious as ever.
"Oh come on it ca wait till morning let's let everyone sleep and we'll talk at breakfast tomorrow," Rena said softening Raven up.
-Breakfast-
"So Elsword, Aisha, and I followed some of that lead-" Ara began.
"It went no where hardly anyone knows anything about the trock's that's from Sander." Aisha started.
"We checked on the messengers. They're fine," Elsword interrupted.
"That's great!" Chug said. I'm not surprised he's such a morning person. I smiled to myself.
"Anyways," Raven refocused the group,"Yesterday-"
"Hey Eve! Wait what's wrong?" Add said interrupting Raven and making Raven angry. Eve got up and just started floating ,running I don't know what to call it, away. "I got her guys," Add said following Eve with however he does it. Man we're a odd bunch.
"Back on focus," Rena said. Ara just looked glum as she had bee interrupted first ad never got to speak. "The trock's definitely have something wrong we need to go check it out," Rena finished.
"Okay, but you guys should really know-" Add's shout interrupted Ara.
"Guys! You need to come here right now! I need help with Eve!" woah I've never heard him so worried. We quickly were at Add's side Raven, Elsword, and Chung helped hold Eve while Add was taking a look at what could be wrong with her. Oberon and Ophelia along with Moby and Reby were right there. Is he speaking with them!?
"What's wrong Add?" I asked starting to worry.
"Just give me a second and she'll tell us," as soon as he finished I heard a click and Eve was back to herself.
"Eve are you okay? What happened? Don't scare me okay?" *slap* "What was that for!?" Add said shocked and frustrated.
"If I need help Oberon and Ophelia are completely capable of it. You may not touch me like this," She stood up out of his arms. She's so cold then again Add seems to be melting her frozen, ummm hard drive?, I dunno. "Anyways I got high demon essence ratings from this direction it messed up my sensory and I just floated over here and before I could block it I was hit with this," Eve held out the boomerang that Add had pulled out of her," As to why it did so much I have no idea."
Ara took the boomerang from Eve and got a closer look," I see you're coming for me. How cute I think that boy with the cannon is the one I'll save for last. He's awfully cute. You're not after me though are you? How sad. You're after Anudran. Well you can have her back once I'm done using her wind powers for my own needs. I can't let you get any further though. I'm not ready yet," the way Ara read what had just appeared on the boomerang gave me chills.
"You probably shouldn't be so good at that," Aisha said to Ara.
"At what?" she asked innocently.
"Creepy evil voices," Aisha shrugged. Add was already babying Eve working to make her metal stronger. She's gonna- *Slap*
"I told you not to touch me!" Eve said angry with him.
Add smirked "Maybe I like the abuse," he looked at Eve all serious," I don't care what you do Eve. I just don't want you to get hurt," wow he's been pretty sentimental lately. I wonder, I snuck a glance at Chung he was paler than usual and the boomerang's threat came rushing into my mind. Seeing me look at him Chung put his arms around me from where he was standing behind me.
"Chung," I whispered fear in my voice. It quickly turned to rage and determination. "I won't let that demon lady hurt you," Chung gave a small chuckle.
"I should be saying that to you," He whispered nuzzling his face in my neck. He looked at me. His face was so close. I can't though.
"Alright off to Trock's Lair it is then!" Elsword shouted breaking my daze with Chung.
************************************(going through trock's lair just a quick overall view)
"You were definitely right Rena!" Ara shouted bringing her spear down on another one just. "They sure are possessed!"
"Keep one awake! We need answers!" I shouted.
Finally we got to Chief Trockta. He put up a fight just as hard as Keliano. "Ancient Relic!" I shouted like a battle cry, and down he went. "Whew that takes my mana," I gave a small laugh," He's passed out-" Trockta began to move again.
"W-what? where?" He asked Rena was instantly tending to him. "What happened? Why is this place a mess!?"
" Sir are you okay? Who possessed you?" Rena asked.
"I'm... not sure... Karis that's the only thing I remember about that," Trockta replied. Instantly I matched faces and names and the rumors I heard. I pulled Ara to the side.
"Tell me everything you know about the demon lady we saw, Karis. I know you know something but got interrupted," I said quietly to her not wanting to attract attention till I was sure about my theory.
"Well it's not much but... She's a succubus. The Queen actually, and she greatly wants something to do with the wind priestess," Ara said kind of startled at my urgency.
"Oh! You must go to Caluso Tribe quick! I think I remember seeing that demon woman escape in that direction!" Trockta shouted rushing us along. we didn't need it though we were off
**************************(after going through Caluso tribe sorry for skipping this there's just so much I don't understand)
"They were possessed too!" Elsword said as we rushed to follow the flying ships we saw in the distance. I can see it everyone is wearing down.
"Yes but I'm sure they'll be fine right now we need to get Anudran back and fast! Who knows what's going on," Rena stated.
"Guys Karis is using Anudran so she can get to Behemoth. She wants to team up with them!" I shouted more certain of my theory more than ever. It took all my spare time of investigating, but I'm sure this is what that succubus is trying to do!
"You're certain Elesis?" Chug asked. Him not believing me hurt me.
"Yes. Trust me," I knew I had a pleading look o my face. It hurt that he didn't trust my judgement though.
As we fought our way through Karis's flying machines the gang realized how right my theory had been. Chung was reluctant to believe. Why aren't you trusting me Chung? What did I do? "I'm sorry Elesis," he whispered to me as we found ourselves fighting together like always. "You were right. I don't know why I'm ot trusting you. I don't feel right," Chung said his face hidden behind his armor, but I could picture his expression in my mind. What if Karis had done something!? No Chung is fine he has to be. There before us stood Karis with Anudran behind her scared and looking like Karis had been working her.
Karis gave an evil demonic hiss "Urghh I told you I wasn't ready to play yet!" We all quickly dodged her attacks. Chung stood still behind me his eyes hazy, and I saw Karis looking at him. "Hmm well I guess I ca forgive you. You brought me such a cute dinner," She licked her lips," Come here," she waved Chung over, but he didn't budge.
Through his hazy eyes I heard him speak,"No."
"Aww you don't wanna play with me no bother. I'll trade you. I'm done with this thing. Give me him, and you can have her," My heart stopped, but my body didn't. I slashed at Karis sending fire into her vision.
"We Don't Need A Trade We'll just take Anudran from you, you ugly hag!" Aisha shouted, ad the battle broke out. I couldn't stop Chung he was practically dragging me along as Karis urged him closer to her. How is she fighting all of us and doing this!?
"Elesis don't worry I have a plan," Chung whispered I didn't even see his face move. From my peripheral I saw Elsword about to be smashed, so I dashed in front and blocked it with my sword.
"Oh so you have divided loyalties red knight," Karis gave a cackling laugh. I've heard that laugh before! It dawned on me. This is the laugh Chung talked about I remember it! How does she know my nickname!? "Surprised? I know all about all of you. You are no match for me!" more evil laughter erupted from Karis as she just kept swatting away the team like they were flies. "Oh there you are my sweet! You sure took you're time."
"I love Elesis! Do you really think you could take me!?" Chung yelled as he blasted Karis with a grenade. "Not even the world crumbling could stop me from being with her!" Chung whacked Karis around like a rag doll. The team had a momentary relapse of surprise, but now that they recovered we assaulted Karis while Rena sneaked away and got Anudran.
"You put up a good fight now! Next time will be different! I'll be ready to play," Karis said getting away. We knew she was gone so we rushed Anudran back to Caluso Tribe while there Chung approached me.
"Chung," I said relieved yet worried. He embraced me holding me tight.
"Oh Elesis. I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry. I couldn't tell you, but I knew Karis was watching us," Chung breathed in seeming to take in me standing there with him. "I'm so proud of you. You saw everything she was throwing at us."
"Chung...how?" I was speechless. I was so happy that he was alright.
"Really Elesis? I can tell when a machine is watching me," he teased me in my shocked state.
"Allll Right Gang! Ready to head out!" Elsword yelled calling us back. "No time to waste We have to stop Karis!"
"Yes!" we yelled in sync.
******************************************(fighting Karis She's almost dead well whatever however that works)
I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. ughh she got me. I sank to my knees my vision began to blur. My breathing turned ragged. This sucks. I need to get away I'm just in the way. Dying sucks more than I thought. Each breathe caused immense pain to travel through my body. I began dragging myself to a corner area when I heard Chung,"Elesis! Oh my god! Elesis!" Chung rushed over to me. "Guys keep her busy!" Chung yelled to the team," Elesis!" my eyes fluttered open at the sound of his voice, but I lost my vision again. "Elesis! Hang in there!"
I heard Karis chuckling laugh "Aww cutie is your girl hurt? She wasn't worth your time anyway!" Karis laughed. I struggled to sit up about to try to retort, but Chung beat me to it.
"You Stupid Bitch! You obviously don't know what love is!" Chung yelled anger i every aspect of his body. "SATELLITE RAIN!" Karis too busy dealing with the horde of attacks coming at her could no longer spare us her attention. Chung focused back on me, "Elesis you'll be okay," I barely saw him look down, but I will never forget the horror I saw on his face I glanced at my stomach.
"Yea it's pretty bad isn't it," I tried to laugh which only caused me more pain.
"Elesis don't move. I'll fix this. Don't worry. We'll make it out fo this, together," I smiled at him.
"No Chung I think I'm done. Go... help them. Don't let her win..." I started to feel my heartbeat slowing down. My breathes getting even worse.
Chung looked me in the eyes his face showing dedication and adamantly he spoke," Elesis I left you once already," his voice was full of pain I felt tears come to my eyes,"... I'll Never leave you. Not Ever again. I Love You Elesis," Chung whispered, and with me in his arms he brought his lips to mine. He kissed me with all of his heart, and I returned with as much strength as I had left. Somewhere in the background I heard Karis being defeated, and somewhere in there I heard Elsword freak out about my wound, but all that mattered was Chung ad he was right here with me. He'll always be here. "I'll never let you go again," Chung whispered as he readjusted so Rena could work on my wound. The whole time I drifted in and out I could feel Chung with me kissing the top of my head, my cheek soothing me. All the while I could still feel his lips pressed against mine and I felt better.
Three months later
"Everything's back to normal," I sighed," Well what do we do now?" I asked.
Chung pulled me in closer to him with his arms around my waist he gave me a gentle kiss," We could go back to Hamel this heat is killer," I smiled. He gave me another gentle kiss this one lasting longer and more intense," Don't worry with our luck something's bound to happen."
