3rd PoV 2 years later
Its been 2 years since the day Elesis left Ruben to go to Red Knights HQ in Velder. Since that day, Elsword pledge to someday be able to join Elesis once again. He had not only been training his body but mind as well. After the death of Andus and William, Elsword decided to not let death hinder him.
He also helped Aisha with her dilemma of seeing things dies. Elsword helped through the ordeal, always visiting her before and after his daily activities. Rena also returned sometime later. She told the elves that were in Ruben that she had revisited the old village to remember Andus.
The Elves also have finally settled into Ruben and help the villagers with some of their problems. After awhile Elsword, Aisha, and Rena began to train together. Rena helped Aisha with her magic and Aisha helped Rena with her control.
Elsword had been practicing even more than before, However not without Rena and Aisha complaining about his health and he's trying too hard. Elsword had decided that instead of using the linear movements of a knight, he created his own style of one handing a sword and being more agile.
He also wanted to learn something similar to what Andus had used when he was fighting back then. It seemed useful in a way and he wanted to use it with sword play. Rena didn't know how to use it and it wasn't an elven type magic and Aisha doesn't know if it. He will have to find his own way.
Today, Elsword, Aisha, and Rena( really Rena and Aisha) are at the Ruben springs having a relax day. They train for a full week and rest at the end of the week. "Ahhh~ This the life, i still can't believe this place had a hot spring" Aisha slowly gets in the pool. "Yea i been here all my life and didn't know about til Elsword told me" Rena goes across Aisha and begin to soak.
Today's the day they set out into the World to assist with the help to retrieve the El. Because of their age before, they could not join the hunt. But now that they a bit more older, and have grown its now there time.
Aisha's PoV
These springs are so relaxing i almost forgot about Elsword." Where is Elsword anyway?" Rena turned to me shrugging "He usually takes a normal shower when we enter the springs, i kinda feel bad for him" yea i feel bad too, but Elswords a guy, and we are girls so that can't happen. But Rena, jeez she's a vegetarian and her chest is so... I can't let Elsword near those or else he will uhh... be seduced! yea lets go with that.
"Aisha is there something on my chest i can't see?" Rena asks me with a unsure look. Gah i was caught. "Uh no, its nothing." I put my head against some smooth rocks and reminisce all that happen over the years and how everyone changed.
Elsword's and Rena's hair grew surprisingly long. Elsword's hair is now past his neck and touching his back. He also got a bit buffer because of all that training and grew taller, now he's taller than me and Rena.
Rena's hair was already long but she cut some of it since it was starting to touch the floor. Her skin looks so silky, its like she glows in moonlight.
Me i feel no change. Just my hair now reaching my back and i did get a tiny bit taller but My chest is still...
"Aisha i think we should leave now im sure Elsword's waiting" Rena gets up and makes her way to her clothes. "Im coming" Time to go.
We got dressed in our new clothes we received from the villagers. They had made it from unique material made and found in here in Ruben.
Rena's attire consisted of a green and black blouse shirt. She wore black fingerless gloves with a black skirt with black and white boots. Her bow was also different, It was now dark green and with white elven symbols and golden tips.
My clothes was a white long sleeve coat over my purple long sleeve shirt with purple and black gloves. I have a purple skirt on because its stylish, with black boots. I also got a wand now. It was Brown white lines swurving up it.
Elsword also got new clothing. Those white shorts with a red long sleeve was nice, for a kid. I wonder what he got though i didn't see his yet since his needed more care and more protection since he was the vanguard of the group.
Elsword's PoV
"Hmm well i guess this can do" I looked at my new clothes that looked nice in my opinion. I bet Aisha's gonna say something it though. She loves giving tough love. My clothes was a black and red long sleeve shirt that stopped at my forearms with black light armored shoulder pads.
Black slightly baggy pants for mobility and space. I had also gotten combat boots.
I also got black gloves and my bracelet i got from Rena for my birthday. It was green with white elven symbols on it with a golden gem in it. I also wore my Ruben necklace on, it wasn't given to me its more like its a symbol im from Ruben. I also got a white chain from Aisha.
I gave Rena a necklace and Aisha a bracelet. It was handmade but they still took it and wore it all the time.
I looked at the new sword they gave me. Before my sword was white and red and was squared at the tip, but now i dont even know if its my sword anymore.
The sword's handle was crimson all the way to the hilt, which is now black. The blade was a pure white thin blade now.
This is not my sword. Its nice but the other sword has memories but i guess i can use this one, it looks like its made for agile warriors.
I put the sword and sheath at my waist. With my new clothes on i walked out my house going to the town square where me, Rena, and Aisha was gonna meet to say bye to the villagers.
On my way to the square everyone was smiling happily at me, saying "Hey lookin good Els" or "Woah, your a keeper". Anne was now about 10 and i think she had a little crush on me. She was still mad about me leaving, but still hang out with me, so she mad but still played with me.
Girls are so complicated.
I saw Rena at the square, woah she looks different somehow even though we spent those years together. "Elsword its not polite to stare~" She says getting close to my face with a sly smile. "Uhh i was uhhh just umm" Damit she always makes me powerless when she does stuff like this.
"Hey! no flirting!!!" Aisha came flying at us, well to be specific me. "We are late now idiots" ah i looked around and saw all the villagers near us laughing along with Chief Hagus. "Oh well what do you know." Rena says in a surprised voice.
"It will truly be a change when you kids leave" Hagus says while giving me a hand. We all stood tall at the villagers. """Its been awesome being here. Thank you for taking caring of us up til now.""" Me, Aisha, and Rena say in unison. The villagers began to cry and shout out "Bye bye" and "Miss ya shortie" Wait who said that. Anne ran up to me hugging me tight with tears.
When the goodbyes were said and done we left to the exit of the forest.
1 Hour later
Rena's PoV
Ahh it feels so strange being out of the forest for the first time. We on the trail for the city Elder where we would investigate Wally's presence. Im still not sure why it too so long for us to finally start investigating this man but he probably had a hand in that too.
I looked over to Aisha who was reading her books. When she wasn't talking she always practicing her spells and learning. She's so diligent when she puts her mind to something.
Elsword on the other hand was looking looking at the lake while walking. He was born and raised here like me, so i understand that he will miss here. I walked by him and leaned on his arm. "Hm? need something?" he turned to me.
"Gonna miss it here too huh?" I said smiling to him. He gave a small smile "Yea its hard to leave your home"." Yea but atleast we can see new places and call that home"
I then feel like something is staring at me i turned to Aisha and saw that she had a childish frown. Its too obvious that she likes Elsword but keeps it from him, at this rate anyone can steal him.
We finally made it to the city at around mid noon. The city looked so peaceful, like everything that happened in Ruben didn't reach here. We walked around making finding a place to stay a priority.
We also had to find a trader who knows Chief Haggus who goes by Hoffman. While searching we see a blond haired lady in a uniform. She sees us and starts calling us. "Hello im Ariel, im a worker of Cobo services" She says with a sunny bright smile.
Aisha stepped up to her first "We need a place to stay for while, we're adventures starting out." "Ah i have been expecting you, right this way" She leads us further into the city near a large fountain with a statue of Wally as the center. It was a modest size building colored white mostly. "This is where Haggus rented for your stay, you have 5 days of rent" she finishes and leaves us to the house and keys for all of us.
Aisha PoV
Ugh finally so much walking here and now we can rest. We all sleep in one room, in separate beds of course.
Elsword is laying at the side of his bed with one leg up with his arm resting on it with his eyes closed. What's he thinking about. I got up from my bed and got bend down to his eye level. He opened his eyes and got a little spooked.
"What's up" I said looking into his eyes. "The sky" He says with a smirk. I hate it when he says that, its so lame. "Oh wow you got something right finally" He then back to the wall with leg still up, scooting over for me. I sat with him, legs closed of course.
"So where's Rena?" I asked him and he shrugged his shoulders. "Said something about going to go get food, told me to relax and get used to the scenery" He scratches his head with a complicated look. Aw Rena's worried about him. "Her home was destroyed but she still worries for others, she's a strong woman" Elsword says while rubbing his chin.
He's right but she's stronger because of that. Im sure he knows that. "We should do something for her while on our adventures." He smiled at me, yea just the 3 of us. Im sure she would love it.
Time pasted by like a falling stone, me and Elsword were just talking about whatever we thought of and went with it. It was sundown by the time Rena came with her hands full of bags. "Sorry i took awhile, i saw Haggus while shopping". She waddled to the kitchen. Wait shopping? we had money?
"How did you get the money?" Elsword went over to her and took the bags from her. 'Haggus gave us parting money to be able to pay for living and food" She says falling on my bed. Huh i didn't know of this.
"So, whose cooking or do we get it delivered." Elsword had all the food out on the counter. I walked over and saw... fruits and Veggies. No meat. Here we go again...
Elsword was the first to comment. "So uh hey where's the meat." "No meat, we have to conserve because the fruits and veggies were both low priced an healthy." She says getting up in Elsword's face putting a finger on his chest.
She always did this. Its not like she doesn't like meat like us, its just that she is an elf and there main food came from the plants. Eating meat was like a foreign thing to her. She still can't get used to it.
"So uh we gotta eat this thing" Elsword pointed to...to..." What is that" i thought out loud. It was a oval shaped, purple with a red stem thing coming out both sides. "oh this a plant thats native to this part of the country." Rena explains with a 'everything is gonna be ok' smile.
Oh El.
Somewhere Else in elder, Nightfall
3rd PoV
Inside a giant castle that views all of Elder. Wally and Add are now seen leaving a large room together. "So are the improvements finished yet" Wally asks impatiently. "Heh no it will take more time, unless you want the same thing to happen again" Add says with his hands in his pockets.
During the raid on the Elven village 2 years ago, the nasod that was supppst to aid them failed to start after they retreated back to Elder from the elves elder and Elsword.
The nasod was unable to take flight and would not listen to any given commands. Thus they had to scrap it and create a bigger and better one then the predecessor. "After im done on your little nasod, im outta here. There's nothing here for me but setbacks, took 2 years for me to realize" Add turned a corner walking into his room leaving Wally.
"Humph, after this i won't need the likes of you as well. Your usefulness has been exhausted."
Add's PoV
2 years... 2 whole years wasted here. I turned on my monitors in my homemade lab. The screens turned on to reveal my targets and goal. The nasod queen Eve and the nasod princess apple. The last one was Q-Proto_00 the most dangerous and the only one who was still active to this day.
I would have gone after her if it wasn't for one thing.. Im not strong enough to defeat her yet. The data shows to be one of the strongest nasods to ever be created. She has data recognition which allows her to scan weapons and find possible weapons that can match it.
She also has combat compatibility which lets her learn and implement new data into her systems into her core while fighting, constantly improving. The perfect battling nasod for sure. Just what i need.
"So your going to altera to get the core codes eh. If you got there blindly you will die. Also if you do manage to gain a core, there's only 3 to choose from" I still recall what Wally told me last year.
I zoomed in on Apple. The energy based core with ample amount of power. Her codes can be used to possiblely construct structures on a molecular level.
Next up is Q-Proto. Her core is my ideal type. She can be used to further my construction of my project Nasod Armor. i discovered this a while back. It allows my dynamos to construct and empower my physical body, further increasing its power and capabilities. Her core is combat based, just the one i need.
Lastly, is Eve. She has the potential of combat and energy types. She is the queen it would only make sense. Her code is more of an backup plan, if my fight with Proto goes south.
"I need to improve and provide maintenance" I set my dynamos to rest. Another restless night but who cares, i need to do this.
Middle of the night
Elsword's PoV
I woke up a few hours after dinner. when i got up i found Aisha and Rena in my bed with there backs turned to me. They must not be used to sleeping in a new place yet. But why my bed? Rena is in her white lace.nightgown and Aisha is in underwear with a black tang top on.
Ok let me go out before my mind starts going crazy. If someone walked in they would think i was doing both girls since im shirtless in my boxer shorts.
I get up as careful as i can not to wake them. I put on some white shorts and a tang top and walked out with my sword. I walked to the outskirts of the town to practice a skill.
Few hours into the nightp
" Haaaa, a few morw cmon" I swing practicing my styling I've created on my own. I tried practicing with Lowe about Knights form and crafts but... i felt it wasn't what i really wanted. But i do plan on becoming a Red Knight along with sis.
After a few swings and thrusts. I held the sword out pointing up. I began focusing my mana into the blade. It began getting hot, which everyone told me that my affinity was fire. A large beam fired from the sword extending it in a bright red and orange light. "Ok...now...form!" The strain is starting to kick in now.
The beam begins to slowly shape a point. "arg cmon... Gah" I fell to one knee. The light shatters to add more to the failure. "Cmon me, i can do this i gotten this far." I kept up good spirits. Gotta stay positive.
"You the there, boy what are you doing" I looked toward the gruff voice to see a large man in a travelers vest and dark blue jeans with brown boots. He had some bags around his shoulder. "Im practicing."
Thats all he needed to know. He walked closer. "Ah a knight in training then? sorry" He scratches his head with a smile. " No probs. Im Elsword" I extend my hand. He shook it like a real man.
"Im Hoffman, im actually supppst to meet you today." What this guys Hoffman? so he's the helper then. "Ok i guess ill see you later" I turned back and picked up my sword. "You mean soon"
I looked over and i saw the sun starting to rise, damit i gotta get back to the house or Rena not gonna let ne hear the last of it. "Uhhh ok then uh see ya later" I sprinted back to house. i maybe tired but if nagging is involved then a man can do anything.
Hope i make it.
An:End of this chapter, if you find the descriptions if clothes and things too specific, i apologize since i love matching clothes and clothes.
