I'm so bored so I'll just write the next chapter!
Elsword: You just don't have a schedule after all.
Karis: Well as long as I can see what will happen next I don't really care, though.
Okay, let's begin the fairy tale!
Chapter 1
It's been a week since the annihilation of El Search Party.
-Kingdom-
"Folks! We're really sad to inform you about this!"
A soldier from the imperial army gathered everyone in the kingdom to the central courtyard.
The kingdom is going to announce something.
"Here you go, your Highness."
The soldier politely let the King stand on the podium.
"We're truly sad, The El Search Party who've protected us for these 3 years... Was annihilated."
The King sadly told the citizens about this news.
Slowly the citizens grew restless.
"Oh no! What should we do now!?"
"Impossible! Elsword! He's dead!?"
"NOOOOO! Master Raven can't die! You're kidding with us, right!?"
Many citizens voice out their desperation.
The El Search Party is already like their own family.
Losing them means losing their family.
"Calm down my citizens. Even though we lost The El Search Party, we've already assigned new team that will protect us from now on. Call them."
The King orders one of his soldier.
The obedient soldier calls the team to the podium.
"This is the new team I just assigned, their team name is 'Void'. Void's mission is to ensure the safety of the kingdom and condemn all evils in this world. Introduce yourselves."
The King orders the Void to introduce themselves.
Even if the king call them Void, but in the citizens eyes...
They're more like the 'Dark El Search Party'. Literally saying, they're 'Exactly' the same as the member of El Search Party, the only difference is their colors are all dark purple.
Hair, Armor, and weapon. All of them are in dark purple.
Due to the shock, the citizens didn't pay attention to their names.
But the King just ask them to return to their position.
Something's just not right.
That's what the citizens are thinking.
"That concludes our gathering today, please rest assure and continue your activity my beloved citizens! May peace fall upon you!"
The King energetically announce, but too bad no one return his greeting.
Elsword's POV
...
Where am I?
I slowly get myself up and I look at my surrounding.
I don't recognise this place...
This place looked like a girl's room, however the atmosphere is not too bad.
Just when I'm about to relax-
"...!?"
I remembered the night my teammates were being slaughtered.
The horror of Karis' power.
I'm trembling in fear.
I never felt such a fear before.
My sword, I need my sword.
I can't find it anywhere.
Looks like someone hid it.
I'm weak without my sword.
That's right, Cornwell!
I tried to summon Cornwell, but-
Nothing happens.
Cornwell will never appear if my soul is weak.
The current me who's in fear will never able to summon Cornwell.
If an enemy showed up here...
I won't be able to do anything.
Suddenly I can hear footsteps outside.
Someone's here!
Step. Step. Step.
"No... Please, don't..."
In my life, I never felt so scared like this before.
This is the first time I've seen what's the actual meaning of 'Terror'.
I hide myself in my blanket and trembling like a child.
*Creaaaak...*
The door opened slowly and someone is coming inside slowly.
I can feel that it's watching me.
I can't stop my trembling.
This is so unsightly of a once brave warrior.
"You awake?"
That voice.
No way.
There's no way it's possible.
If it's her, why I'm still alive?
She should've kill me before when she have the chance.
"Hey, you awake?"
She called me again.
Somehow I think I need to answer her.
But I'm not sure if I will be safe if I did so.
I think...
It would be best to just face it.
"... Karis..."
"So you're awake already, cherry boy."
She smiles.
What is this.
She's the one who tried to kill me before, then why is she so nice to me?
Don't tell me, when I'm unconscious she's the one who took me here and took care of me?
"... Why don't you kill me?"
"You killed my friends, yet you let me stay alive. What's the meaning?"
"I will not tell you why, I have my own plan. So, you prefer to be dead?"
A very cold glare.
Just like the last time I see her.
When she cold-heartedly killed all of my friends.
I would better be dead rather than being pitied by my enemy.
Why you're still alive, Els?
Why must we die, Els?
Why did you kill me?
Why must you be the only survivor?
I envy you, Els.
I'm so jealous of you!
Take responsibility and die too!
How can you continue to live happily when we're dead!?
You deserve only death!
I can hear my vengeful friend's voices.
I can be insane if I keep hearing their voices.
So, I'll just let her, no. Ask her to kill me.
That's-
"Please, K-"
I can't say that 'Kill me' part.
my throat stucked.
Just like something is holding my voice.
My tremblings can't stop.
Just Die already, you wimp!
Stop playing around and join us!
Since when you think you deserve to live!?
"Please?"
Karis asked me about my unfinished sentence.
That's right...
I'll just have her kill me.
Die!
Die!
Die!
"P-Please, Karis..."
Hurry up and Die!
Don't waste anymore time!
We're not waiting for long!
"Please, Karis... I want to live...!"
I don't want to die!
I'm too coward to die!
Call me a chicken if you want!
I don't care as long as I can stay alive!
Karis was surprised.
But suddenly her expression softened.
She patted my head.
Somehow I remember this feeling.
"I'll protect you, Elsword. Don't be scared."
She called my name, how did she know...
But I don't really care...
Somehow I'm feeling so sleepy...
And then I fell unconscious.
Karis' POV
What happened!?
I don't know what happened but he suddenly lose consciousness.
He's already sleeping for a week, I wonder what happened to him.
I try to measure his body temperature.
His body's so hot, looks like he got a fever.
If I'm not mistaken humans used wet cloth to compress the temperature.
Wait, I don't have any spare cloth...
No other choice...
I put my hand on his forehead and I use my magic power to absorb his temperature so that it go lower and he can feel better.
Ugh...
His temperature is too hot, I myself starts to feel unwell, but I'm not human, a normal fever like this posed no trouble to me at all, I can get well in a quick rest. First I need to heal him first...
After a while finally his temperature go back to normal.
"Thank goodness..."
I felt a little unwell, I guess I'll take a rest...
I lay myself down and sleep beside him.
Get well soon, Elsword.
Don't let me worried again...
Then I lost my consciousness too.
Elsword's POV
My body hurts.
It feels like I've just recovered from a sickness.
Oh that's right, I lose my consciousness.
Looks like I just have a fever, since my head hurts a bit.
I look around and found Karis' sleeping beside me.
Her face's red, her breathings also unstable.
Did she help me from my sickness?
How stupid...
Why must you help your enemy?
I can just take my sword and kill you right here.
I can do it.
The moment I get my courage I summon my Cornwell.
I stand on the bed and point Cornwell to her heart.
With just one stab, all of my friend's death won't be in vain.
I can avenge them all in just one attack.
She killed my friend heartlessly I can kill her heartlessly too.
This is what you get for killing my friends!
Stab.
...
Cornwell stabs the bed cover between her chest and arm.
I... Why can't I do it...
She killed my friends!
She killed them in front of me!
Yet... She still help me, she took care of my wound, she help me out of my sickness.
Just what am I to her?
What should I treat her?
What should I do about my deceased friends?
...
I'll let her off for now.
"But remember. I'm the only one who will kill you. Don't you dare to die by other people's hand, Karis. I will surely take my friend's revenge."
I can slightly see a smile from her lips.
I think it's just my feeling.
The Next Day
Karis woke up as she stretched her body.
"Urrghhh... I have a nice dream last night..."
"Good morning."
"Good morning, cherry boy."
I twitched, I really don't like that nickname.
She walked to my side and play with my long tail hair.
"You looked like a girl for growing your hair this long, well I think before was even longer, right?"
"Yes it was (Sheath Knight), since it's too long I cut it a bit and left only this much."
"But it's fine, if you cut it even shorter you will really turns into a cherry boy."
"... Stop that nickname."
"But you're still a virgin, right?"
"What, you're telling me you're already experienced?"
"B-But of course! I'm not like a certain virgin."
"Hihihi."
How dare she giggles toward my pride.
What's wrong with being virgin!
Romance is useless if you don't have power!
You need power to protect your important person!
But I fail to protect my friends after all...
I'll just give up and let her call me cherry boy.
Only for now!
One day I will be so strong that she can't call me like that anymore.
And I will kill her with my own hands.
Karis' POV
Elsword's pissed off when I call him cherry boy, it's so fun teasing him.
Somehow he can accept me. No, I'm sure he will kill me when the time come.
After all I'm the one who kill his friends. If that so, I will wait for that day, Elsword.
You're the only one who can kill me.
Make sure to be strong until that time come, and when the time come...
By your own sword. Kill me.
That would be my sincerest wish.
I never wish for anything before, so only this.
Let Elsword be the one to take my life.
If it's him, I would be grateful.
"Cherry boy."
"What?"
He looked at me confused.
looks like he think I'm going to say something however what I'm going to say is something that even he should know it already.
"Be strong. When the time come, kill me with your own two hands."
"... I will."
I can see strong determination from his eyes.
He's the one who's borned only to kill me.
We're each other's Nemesis.
I'm borned to kill him.
He's borned to kill me.
We will never get together.
I'm sure of it.
Because, that's what the prophecy said.
'A hero would draw his sword to destroy the demon who's trying to conquer the world.'
I think I've heard the next line but I can't remember it.
For now all I know is that he's going to kill me sooner or later.
May the time decides what will happen to me.
I trust you, Elsword.
Please stay alive, don't die before me.
Promise me.
I looked at his eyes.
As if knowing what I mean, he nodded.
That's it, that's the Elsword I know.
He who always move forward.
-Kingdom-
The King's walking around his castle, there he met with one of the 'Void'.
"Is the preparation ready yet, Harza?"
Harza, the 'Void' Ara (Yama Raja) nodded her head.
"The preparation is ready, we're ready to launch anytime, your Highness."
The King smiled.
"That's more like it, Harza. You're doing a great job."
The king patted her head.
She seemed to like it too.
"Thank you your highness, so shall I go?"
"You can go, but are you sure you're fine by yourself?"
"I'm not as weak as Ara. I don't hesitate to kill."
"Good, go and bring Karis' head for me."
"Understood."
Like that, Harza leapt and disappeared into the darkness.
The King looked at the night sky.
"Oh dear, oh dear. Looks like a storm is going to approach in a short time."
Chapter 1 End
Alright! Looks like I managed to finish the
first chapter in time. The second chapter should be
tomorrow so wait patiently, okay?
Elsword: This is getting fun.
Karis: I'm going to kill them all.
Somehow I think 'Void' will meet a bitter end by those two.
Anyway see you again!
Please Review and Critic!
