Chapter 1- Ember's appearance
Akira was on her way to Elder but some how; she managed to get lost in a forest outside of the misty marsh, though she should have known her way around all of Ruben. The teenage girl sighs in frustration as she stands on a high up branch to see where the path that she lost was. "How in el did I lose the path?" she says to self in frustration as she continues to search for it, how ever something catches her eye. She turns in the direction that it is and tries to see the object better but sadly she can't. "Why does everything have to be so difficult for me?" she grumbles a little annoyed, her confidence was slowly sinking. The young girl jumps off the branch and lands very cat like before making her way over to the object. "I wonder what it is and plus I wonder what the thing is doing in a forest of all places" she says as she gets to the object.
"Huh?" Akira muses in confusion as she stares at the object; it was a preservation pod.
"I've never seen this before… Then again I never really seen much of technology, damn my parents and not giving me any type of technology" the young cat girl curses before going over to the pod out of curiosity to what was inside and if anything was inside at all. Akira places a hand on the pod and tries to find a way to open the pod. "My el, why can't this be easy to open?" the girl curse in annoyance right as she hears a beep come from the pod as she presses something. Akira moves back in instinct, however upon seeing what was inside the pod, she was soon over came by confusion. "Why is there a girl in there?" Akira says in confusion as she eyes over the girl that was now waking up. The girl had red shoulder length hair with red eyes, she made Akira shiver by just looking at them, the girl was also wearing something Akira had never seen before, it looked like a nurse's outfit for a lab but it was plain white with an ancient Nasod symbol on it. Akira stared at the symbol in confusion; she had never seen it before in her life. The red haired girl notices Akira and first instinct was attack and that's what she does after getting up.
"Incinerate!" the girl yells out before using the skill on the unsuspecting Akira.
"Eh?!" Akira is suddenly pulled out of her thoughts as she sees a blade being slashed at her, she quickly dodges but her lower arm gets cut a bit and Akira suddenly grasps onto her now burning arm. "Hey! What was that for?! I just got you out of that pod and that's how you treat me?!" she says in a bit of rage but more of shock. The girl doesn't reply and readies another skill. "Tch… Fine be that way! I have no problem fighting you!" Akira shouts as she draws out her sword. Little did Akira know was that the girl was actually confused on where she was and what time it was. "Roses song!" Akira shouts as a protective aura goes around her and gets ready to evade an attack. "Upper cut!" the girl shouts and Akira with her cat like instincts quickly evades it and jumps into the air. "Seed trap!" Akira shouts as she sends seeds at the girl which quickly traps her. Akira lands and puts her sword away, not really wanting to fight the girl. "Hey, calm down" Akira says to the girl who was trying to get free from the trap. "I'm not your enemy, in fact I was the one who opened your pod, and in fact I don't want to fight… I want to help you" Akira says and catches the girls attention. "So why don't we put the weapons away? I put mine away already" Akira suggests, the girl eyes the young cat girl before putting her weapons away as well. "There much better, now my name is Akira, I am from Ruben and I mean no harm at all" Akira says before asking "May I have your name?"
The girl doesn't reply at first, which made Akira a little on the edge. "Ember Akari…" the girl finally says something, Akira could tell that the girl; Ember wasn't too trusting to her yet but Akira grins and holds out her hand. "Well it's nice to meet you Ember!" Akira muses, who catches Ember off guard at first, she wasn't expecting the girl to suddenly forget what happened not too long ago, Ember looks at her hand before taking it, and the cat girl shakes her hand with the still prominent grin. "Akira correct?" Ember speaks up and Akira looks at Ember confused "Yeah, that's my name" Akira says.
"Do you mind telling me what time period this is?" Ember asks which confuses Akira even more. "Well, I hope you don't mind me asking but what time period do you think this is?" Akira asks.
"I thought the Nasod-Human war was still going on but I don't see any battles…" Ember says a little confused and one of Akira's ears twitches a little confused. "Nasod-Human war huh… Well sorry to say this but that war has been over for at least 240 years… At the least" Akira says and Ember can barely believe that much time has passed.
"240 years in the future… How can that be?" she says in confusion and Akira can't help but hear this. "Well my guess is this little pod over here had something to do with it" Akira says kicking the pod and Ember looks at the pod she was in not too long ago. "Uh… Right…" Ember says still not too trusting of the cat girl.
"Hey, do you wanna tag along with me?" Akira asks out of the blue to Ember when there was a bit of an awkward silence and Ember looks in confusion. "To where exactly?" she asks in confusion and Akira shrugs "Well, where ever there are people to join my new group and where ever the demons are since they're causing a lot of chaos for Eloris, I mean they're causing a lot of villages and towns problems, and this isn't the first time they've been here" Akira says and Ember looks at Akira in confusion, the girl never really heard of demons before. "This isn't their first time?" Ember asks now even more confused and Akira nods a little annoyed about the demons. "Yea, I mean the only reason they left the first time is takes to the old El gang" Akira says seeing that Ember didn't know who the El gang was. "The El gang consisted of Elsword, Aisha, Rena, Raven, Eve, Chung, Ara Haan, Elesis and Add, they protected Eloris from the demons and kept the El safe from bandits and demons, sad that they disbanded for their own reasons" Akira says and Ember nods, not really sure on who the people Akira listed where. "So, are you going to join?" Akira asks not trying to sound impolite but was just more curious than anything. Ember looks at Akira, eyeing her before coming up with her answer. "I guess… I see that I have no where else to go" Ember says seeing she really didn't have a choice and Akira suddenly grins again. "Great! We should probably head to Elder and look for others to help" Akira says and Ember nods smiling a little. "And also getting you some actual clothes wouldn't be a bad idea either…" Akira says a little under her breathe. Ember looks at her new companion in confusion, not really catching what she said. Akira waves her hands saying that there was nothing to worry about and soon leads Ember to the town of Elder.
Once entering the town, Akira feels eyes on both of them and her ears go down automatically and she sighs. "Alright Akira, just ignore the looks and get some clothes for Ember" she mutters to herself as she leads Ember to a clothing shop. Both of the girls were a bit uncomfortable with the looks that they were getting, Akira the most since there really isn't anyone like her. Once Akira reaches a clothing shop she leads Ember in. "Alright, clothes" Akira says and she starts to look through clothing for Ember. Akira soon stumbles upon a outfit that she thought fit her companion and quickly gathers it with some shoes that matched the outfit and goes to buy it for her companion, Ember just sits there watching Akira the whole time. Akira hands the shop keeper the money and grabs the clothes and goes over to Ember and puts them in her arms, the shoes on top of the clothes. "What's this for?" Ember asks confused. "They're for you silly, you can't exactly expect people to take you seriously in that outfit" Akira says "Now let's get out of her and grab an inn so you can change" the girl muses before leading the confused girl out.
Once the 2 have a room Akira flops onto the bed happily, Ember thought the sight was quite amusing and couldn't help but chuckle at her companion before going to the bathroom to change into the new clothing she got. Akira just lied there like a happy cat, staring up at the ceiling, wondering what would happen next and who they would meet next, she stayed like that for a about 5 minutes until she hears the bathroom door open again and Ember walks out with the new clothing on. Akira couldn't help but smile and give a thumbs up. "Looks great, it fits you nicely" Akira says, Ember nods a little, barely any blush on her face "Thank you Akira" Ember says and Akira grins. "Hey it's not a problem, after that's what friends are for right?" Akira muses and Ember smiles and nods. "Now, we should probably rest up, we have a long day ahead of us" Akira says and Ember nods "Right, after all, we need members for this group of yours" Ember says and Akira nods "That's right and I'm the leader" Akira muses, her confident aura being very large. Ember couldn't help but chuckle at her companion and leaders childish ways. "Well good night Ember, I'll see you in the morning" Akira says before stretching out and then falling to sleep.
"Right… Good night Akira…" Ember says before going to the other bed at the other end of the room and lies on the bed. "I can't help but wonder what will happen…" Ember says out loud. As she looks around the room and her eyes fall upon a sleeping Akira. "I wonder why her hair covers her other eye… Is she hiding something?" Ember says out of curiosity but she shakes her head "I need sleep, I'll ask her in the morning, I'm sure it's nothing" Ember says before closing her red orbs and falling into sleep, but thing is that other eye wasn't really that normal.
