Velder Morning

Raven's PoV

It was a strange morning for me. I'm not sure why but i felt a bit, in edge. Yesterday i was completely fine but walking around the city felt unsafe

Elesis, Edan and Speka were all out together training, mostly Edan and Elesis since Speka was a mage and just wanted to hangout with them as much as possible.

When i came into the town, i felt a strange sensation, like waking up in the middle of the nigh in cold sweat. Whatever it was, i need to get Speka on it since she was known for her practices in the dark arts.

I came to a large water fountain. Maybe i should take a small break for now. I could use this time to check if anyone is tracking me and is just openly showing their killing intent, but i knew no one here.

I was raised here, but the city has changed so much then. Me, Seris, and Alex always used to steal from a local bakery around these parts. Some of the old houses still stand.

That name...I almost forgot what he did back then. Old memories soon ensued as my brain so graciously replayed them. No...i moved past this after i join the group...I'm better than this. Ill just focus on the fun parts...

The town was so fun as a child. Running around with smiles, i almost wish i was a kid again. I wonder, what would have happened if Alex hasn't... What the-!

I was suddenly pulled into the fountain by something. I drew my blade and tried to cut the arm grabbing me out if self defence but my blade only bounced back.

It dragged me into the water but the water was a different color...What is...

3rd PoV Unknown Area

Raven opened his eyes and looked around. He found he was in a forest now but was no ordinary forest.

The sky was crimson almost similar to a sunset with a few red clouds in it. The trees were a darker shade of green than usual and the ground had broken, deformed and incomplete weapons scattered all over.

He got up and loomed for his blade but saw it was not here. "Is this illusion magic?" He began to walk forward. There was no path so he decided he would just walk until he found some kind if clue as to get out.

As he walked, he felt as time was no longer moving. The trees would sway ever so slightly in the dead winds. More swords and daggers came to view. Each having a problem that made it unusable in battle.

He walked up a cliff and looked out to the distance. It was a large Edo castle. It was white with red trims and roofs. "That's the only place here... Guess i have no choice do i..." He said with a sigh. He made his way down the hill and walked the direction of the castle.

He walked and walked. It was still eerily quiet. He knew he would have to deal with whatever was lurking in the shadows but felt nothing. 'Could this be due to illusion magic?' He thought to himself.

Finally, he heard a sound but not something he would have expected. CLING, CLING. The sound kept going. It sounded like... A hammer hitting an anvil. CLING, CLING, CLING The sound seemed to have resonated around the forest as well.(An: imagine hitting a street pole with something metal.)

He finally made it to the castle. The castle was tall and was surrounded by water that took on the color of the sky. CLING, CLING, CLING. The sound sounded much closer than it did before.

Raven crossed the bridge was now in the yard. The yard was enormous with a it having its own lake in the front. He walked over to it and sure enought, small fishes were swiming in it.

"Well at least they this place a realistic feel i guess." He squatted down and poked them around with his human arm.

"This is ridiculous." He said and got up and went to the entrance. When he opened the door, he found himself now in a room inside the castle. He looked and saw a window.

"What the..." He said and looked around. CLING, CLING, CLING. "Well your still there i guess." He said to himself and walked to the next sliding door.

He opened it and saw an armored plate soldier statue in the middle of the room. It was black, yellow and red. The room itself was dark yellow with a red hue due to the crimson sky.

He walked to the next door but instinctively dodged a sword slash. He looked and saw the statue slowly moving to life. Its helmet eyes glowed and began to move to him.

Raven sucked his teeth and dashed to the statue. It was still too slow and Raven pierced its armor with his nasod arm. He took it out and watch as it fell to the ground and broke on impact, losing its color and now becoming a dull grey.

"Well that was anti climatic." He opened the next door and kept going. Each room felt the same no, looked the same, but with different armor statues and weapons.

Each of the statues had a note worthy flaw in them. The armor was too thin, making little protection but gave better speed. One was too heavy reducing speed but more protection. Then was the weapons...

The weapons all seemed...lack luster. Each broke far too easily, it was almost embrassing to honestly. They would shatter, break and fall apart in its users hands.

The anvil sounds were getting closer. It would stop momentarily and then resumed. It was behind the door he stood in front of. He opened the final door and was met with something strange.

The room itself was a different color, it was black with red floral patterns on the walls and a open door that allowed the sunlight to come through.

In the center, was a sword. The sword had a black handle with a loose red piece of cloth tied around it. The blade itself was a jet black reflecting nothing on its surface and had chips in it. Whispers were heard around him as he took one step into the room.

"What the..." He got close until he was right up from with it. It stuck out the ground as if it was left there. The sound if the anvil was being drowned out by the whispers.

"So do i just grab this?" He reached out for the sword with his human arm and grabbed the hilt. The cloth around the handle wrapped itself around his arm and tightening. He began to feel a rush if energy pour itself into his veins.

He pulled it out with ease and looked around. Nothing was happening anymore. He looked around and nothing around him changed. "what was that?" He asked himself.

The sword gave off a black glow around it. "This...power?!" He swung the blade creating a shockwave of black energy. It sliced through the wall and destroyed the wall.

The place then began to crumbled and break down. Raven found himself falling down before everything going white.

Velder

Raven woke up and looked to Elesis, Edan and Speka circling him. "Raven you alright?" Elesis asked him. He groaned and slowly got up from his laying position.

"What happened to me." He held his head. "Were you attacked?" Edan asked giving Raven a hand. "Im not sure, all i remember is a forest, a castle and a sword." He shakes head.

"Lets get you to a bed then." Edan said and Raven nods.

While on the way, Raven still felt the presence of the sword inside his body now. Speka also took a few glances at him without his knowing.

She narrowed her eyes as she now felt a strange energy clinging in to him.

Chung's PoV

Conference Room

Queen Noah and I were having a meeting with the head commander of the Red Knights Penensio and the head of The black Stek corp, Orion.

"We will make a base in Hamel once we established the land to resurfaced." Penensio said placing a map down. The map shown the region of Hamel and how they detached the main city off from the rest of the land.

"Then we will move in a guard the red knights from any demons there." Orion said. "I never questioned your guards strength but i have heard there ate anomalies in Hamel l, more severe than here in Velder." Queen Noah said looking at him.

"Im sure it will be no trouble, after we are done we will return to Velder." He says nonchalantly. He seemed like he did nit care. I guess undying loyalty is good...

"After we take the city, how will we advance to take back the region?" Penensio asked. "We will first of course stabilize the city before we could advance to any other location." I tell him and he nods.

"May i ask a personal question, What ever happen to the White Fang." Orion said looking at me. Ah he's referring to my father and his army.

"I am not sure, all i could do was-". "You do not know so speak no more." He cut me off. "How rude." Queen Noah said bluntly. "I only asked for whereabouts, not his." He spoke back.

Noah, was clearly not accepting his answer. "You dont talk back to your Queen". She said calmly but i could tell she was pissed since i felt a chill.

"Now, now. We are discussing plans for the demons. Now then let us continue." Penensio said.

After meeting

After the meeting Penensio left back to his ship at the bay. Me and Noah were walking to Elesis and Raven's room since we knew thats Speka and the others would be.

We got to the room and opened the door and was met with everyone playing cards. "Hey what are guys playing?" i asked.

"You lie. Its a game Speka came up with." Jahari said eyes glued to his cards. "C'mon Edan your turn." She nudged him. "Uh yea." He said placing a card down.

"Can we join?" I asked and they nod. "I can't i-" Before she could finish Speka hugged Edan's arm and smirked at Noah. "You think you can afford to do that?" She said.

"You know what, I'm feeling very petty ill join." She sat down separating Edan and Speka. "Why would someone feel-" Raven was cut off by Elesis's hand covering his mouth. I guess its like that huh?

"Hey Elesis, hows your little brother." Noah asked Elesis. I havent seen Elsword in so long, i would like to spar with him some day because Elesis said he was as strong as her.

"Dont use that as an excuse to make me lose focus." Elesis said drawing a card. Noah simply smiled. "What are you talking about?" She souded too innocent...

After we were done playing i went to sleep. I need a bit of peace of mind.

Night

Dream land

"Father! Come!" I screamed out to him. The demons had surrounded the castle and we were not prepared in the slightest.

A man with white hair black armor and dark skin was leading the demons using portals. "Foolish king." The man said in a deep voice.

Father laid on the ground. His once gleaming white armor now reduced to stained glass like color. He was coughing out blood from his helmet.

The man had the Sasha in his arms. It was infuriating. We couldn't do anything to him. He was too powerful and he mocked us for it every moment.

"This is a fine castle. Truly fit for a king." The dark said looking around. To have this defied by a demons eyes...this place is now trash.

All i could do qas run an look back as surviving members of the white fang milita took me out of the city. I could only watch as the black demon held my father by his throat and black tendrils surround jim in black mass.

I hated demons, they were the reason why all this was happening. They not only kille my mother, they stole the on i loved and took my father. My mother always told me to smile in harf times...

But this i cant keep up with. Its been years and now we take action. Years i have been a Velder lap dog, sitting here doing nothing but train my body so i could kill that demon who cause all this.

Even after all this time, my hatred of demon have not diminished in the slightest. I just want to able to fight at front line and kill those bastards.

I swear will.

An

Yea this was a Raven/Chung chapter since i wanted to put a little more effort into other characters. Felt like i been glossing over characters.

Also i saw a video on Elsword on YouTube and i thought i was looking at a whole new game.

So now stats are in percentages? and we have like 3 new raid bosses and new dungeons? and item level is gone in place "combat power" I thought i was looking a mobile version of Elsword since mobile games do stuff like this honestly.

And that Ed shop, i bet they have the nasty costumes people only brought back in the day since it was the only thing around.

But besides all that, i hope you like the story.
