Chapter 2: Extermination
"You know its only a matter of time right?" The dark skinned elf, Chloe spoke
"Until what?" The spiky red haired swordsman said in a challenging tone
Chloe sighed "Until your psychopath friend finds us all" She gestures to the camp of tents, Humans and demons alike shared food and told stories under the starry skies
"Don't you think I know that already?!" elsword grunted in an upset scratchy voice
Its been two years since the day chung went mad. Following the murder of his father at his own hands he went mad and using dark powers taken directly from his father he began an extermination campaign against all" demons"
Along with him , and Ara all defected to the enemies side
Raven and Eve disappeared soon after the catastrophe started
Now with the help of Chloe, Rena and my sister Elesesis we've been striking out against a new sort of terror created by Chung and Ran
"Do you think we should move the camp?" Elsword asked in a calmer demeanor
"Where would we even move it too? As far as I know it's either we stand our ground here or we try to make our way around the demon army" Chloe laid out the options
"If by some miracle we make it through feita we could set up a base in the nasod core on top of that I believe that's where those two probably went" Chloe continued
"Trust me that was the first place we chec—"
Elsword was cut off by the sound of bells ringing close by
"THEYRE HERE! THE DEMONS ARE HERE!"
The watchman screamed out warning the camp of humans and demons of all age ranges
The elderly began to ward the children towards inner walls of the makeshift fort
"Looks like doubling back is no longer an option" elsword curled his fingers in front of his mouth
At least he stood up "Gather everyone we need to be as prepared as we can be for this "
"Right" Chloe jumped out the window of the shack as if it were completely normal
"We've been very lucky these past two year, However our luck ends here"
The grim faces of the men who had never even seen a battle made the night all that much more dark
"We've spent these two years training anyone who could pick up a sword for this very day, We knew the day would come when we could defend our families and our homes and now its arrived at last!"
Elsword smiled "Now let's get out there and show them humanity isn't that easy to put down"
Everyone with the exceptions of a few demons in the crowd cheered loudly
Chloe glared at elsword
"What? You guys are on our side your basically honorary humans"
Chloe walked away wordless
A palm slams into elswords back almost knocking him over "well haven't you become quite the leader? Now if only you could inspire our newfound allies like you did the rest of our people you might actually be worthy of being called a leader"
Her long flowing red hair was swept back by the winds revealing a smug smile
"Are you saying you could've pulled it off, sis?"
Elesis laughed a fake prideful laugh "HA-HA, You bet I could"
Elesis' light hearted expression tensed up
"Hey?"
"Yeah" elsword casually replied
"Can we do this?"
Elsword stood silently for a moment back faced to his older sister who was now second guessing herself
He then did an about-face and mimicked his sister "HA HA HA You bet we can"
He then picked up his sword and walked off
Elesis smiled gently and brushed her hair back "You really have grown she whispered to herself"
