Chapter 4: Action
Elesis stopped running after she realized that Berthe was not chasing them anymore and placed Elsword down on a tree.
She too decided to take a breather. After all that just happened she think it would be best. She sat next to Elsword Cross legged.
"sigh why did this have to happen today or even ever." She began thought. While she lost in her thought, She saw a little phouru running up to her. "Did this guy come from somewhere else or did he survive?". While she thought this the phouru was now standing in front of her staring at her. Then he bowed down on all fours.
"Please help me become strong!!!" The phouru yelled while bowing. "Eh-" Now Elesis was confused, she never even seen this one before. He had armor like a soldier but it was clear to her he is way too young and is betting he never been in a fight. "S-so?". He ask while picking up his head. "Hold on explain why"
The Phouru explained that he watched her when she was fighting Berthe. He was amazed that she managed to keep him at bay with just a broken piece of wood and wanted her to be his master.
"Uhh im not sure what to say, im not even sure if i would be a good teacher". "Then we learn together!". He said with determination. "What i did was just luck". "Then let me learn how to be this lucky!". No matter what she said he wouldnt go away.
All this yelling back and fourth did not go by Elsword who was sleeping next to them the whole time. "Ugh stop talking to yourself sis". "Wha- oh Elsword you finally awoke, we need to get home its almost late". The Phouru, William who did not noticed Elsword remembered he was knocked out before he could not even reach that monster.
"Oh its that weakling". Spat William. "Wha- who you calling weak with that stupid armor cosplay and bendy sword". Elsword yelled while getting up in William's face. "This is armor i made for myself your just because that beast knocked out!, I bet if you had armor like me you wouldnt have got thrown".
Elsword head down casted. He was right, if that beast really wanted to kill him he wouldnt be here to be yelling with minor cuts. He was feeling ashamed that he let down Elesis and charged because of emotions. Elesis saw that Elsword had gotten depressed and decided to head home now.
"Cmon els, lets get a good nights sleep and head to the village to tell Lowe about what happened". "ok". They began to walk when William got in there way. "He-hey you can't just leave me here".
"Yes we can". both the siblings said with a lazy expression. They was getting tired of him. He was loud, was way too cocky for a phouru and he seemed like the type to be everywhere.
"wait are you from that village?". Elsword ask William still a bit depressed. "yea i was there with my dad while my mom went looking for food for us". William said with said with depression now. "then". Elsword said with his head down.
"Your coming with us!". He raised his head with new profound determination. "Wha-?" Both Elesis and William said in shock and confusion. " Since your Village was destroyed by that monster then you have no choice but to avenge your fallen people!". said Elsword. Elesis understood what Elsword was getting at and chipped in. "Yea you can't let Berthe run around doing that to your people now can you?".
William now so determined with flames in his eyes" YOUR RIGHT I CAN ALLOW SUCH A MONSTER OF SUCH EVIL BE HERE IN MY FOREST!!!! I WILL BECOME STRONG AND TAKE IT DOWN!!!" Shouted William to the whole world. "We can start tomorrow, Elsword will show you what we do i have to go to Ruben and report this to Lowe". Elesis said and began walking toward their cottage. "Right Boss" William and Elsword said together.
SOMEWHERE DEEPER IN RUBEN FOREST. Night
A village of trees with people walking to and from in them. They have pointy ears and beautiful green hair. They are elfes the protector of the El Tree, a mystical tree said to be Elrios core or heart. The elfes are here to protect it as guardians. The chief is the head guardian and is most closest to the tree than any other elf.
Tonight, the chief cannot sleep though. He feels something ominous. He is walking about the village and see a young elf girl practicing so late into the evening. "hmm? i feel like i know who this young one may be". He said in a humble voice with right hand on his thick beard and left on his walking cane.
The young elf girl was so into her archery that she did not even noticed the elder coming up behind her.
"My is that quite the shot, 5 bullseye in under 10 seconds, though you can be faster than that". He said in a sagely tone. The young elf girl turned around too fast and fell on her bottom. "what? oh its you elder". She said getting up to bow
Ah right he knew this elf now. a somewhat overlooked elf amoung the village. "Every night eh, Rena?". He said with a grin. Rena felt a bit embarrassed at how many times the chief caught her telling her to sleep.
"yea im sorry ill head to bed now". She said but before she could get her bow, the chief grabbed it before her. "huh? than-". She said before she saw the chief take aim and fired a magic arrow so fast the wind had a blown all the dust in area.
Rena was amazed, no not even that was enough to express her emotion. The target as blown completely off but in a sharp and perfect cut?. "Whew looks like i got rusty with all the peace around here but i guess i still got it".
Rena was not only amazed that he could fire so fast, but at the same time create a magic arrow with out even creating or gathering any nature energy. He even said he was rusty?, he was better than this?.
Rena asked him "what was that?". And the chief turned to her with a smile. "that was something a much more advanced than nature energy, Its both different but very much like nature energy".
The Chief then went into thought "hmm for now let me teach her the basics of magic arrows". He nodded. "im sure making all those arrows tire you out all day so in the morning ill teach you the basics of how to make magic arrows".
Rena was truly amazed and shocked but above all she was happy. To get taught by the elder she was more than lucky. She wanted to get to bed fast so she can be in tip top shape the next morning.
"Thank you elder i will be here first thing morning". she ran off towards the village. The chief gave her a sad smile. " This is the least i can do for now Rena before this unknown passes". and with that the chief left to his own house to sleep for the morning.
