Truth or Dare to Love Again
Chapter One: Over Working
The dark sky slowly lit up as the golden orb rose into the sky. It effortlessly parted the obscuring clouds and bathed the world in its glory. It was the dead of summer in the bustling town of Elder. Children tore through the streets, causing all manner of trouble now that they were free from the restraints of school. The working parents did their jobs and money constantly exchanged hands for all manner of reasons.
To the north of Elder lay a forest, and within its bosom was a large mansion. This was the El Estate, owned by the now retired El Search Party. After quelling the demon invasion and saving the priestesses, the group all settled down close to their roots where their journey had begun and let the world advance on its own. It was early morning as Rena, a talented elven warrior, was preparing dinner with her dear friend Eve, the refined empress of the Nasod race. Rena neatly sliced sausages as Eve prepared the eggs, scrambling them in the cast iron skillet.
"How's it been Eve?" Rena asked sweetly, tossing the sliced meat onto a pan and beginning to grill them. Eve casually looked over her shoulder.
"Perfectly fine." Eve smirked behind Rena's back, "And how have you and your 'dear little crow' been?" Eve suppressed a giggle as Rena stiffened.
"I don't know what you're talking about, I don't own a crow." Eve poked her head around to look at Rena.
"I'd say you gave Raven a good 'owning' last Friday." Rena looked away.
"I don't know what you're saying."
"Then why do you avert your gaze?" Eve smirked, "Come on Rena, I heard it all."
"Fine." Rena looked over her shoulder, "You want the story?"
"Oh yes."
"Well, about a month ago Raven came up to me, saying he wanted to talk. We chatted for awhile about little things, and then he got so quiet and couldn't stop fidgeting. As I went to ask him what was wrong he blurted out that he really liked me and wanted to go out."
"I take it you said yes? I don't think you'd rape him."
"He was so cute!" Rena squealed, "I had to say yes!"
"Well I'm happy for you. Eggs are finished, and the toast should be done by the time you finish the sausages. I'll go wake everyone up."
"Okay Eve." Eve turned and walked through the kitchen door into the dining hall before turning left and walking up the stairs, which only had one wall until meeting the second floor. Eve turned to the first door on her left and knocked on it.
"Aisha! Breakfast!" Eve heard a loud thud followed by the sound of crumpling papers and something solid yet flexible being tossed across the room.
"B-Be down soon!" Aisha yelled. Eve just shrugged and moved on. She went to the next door, and knocked.
"Chung! Wake up!"
"Narrrrrrr!" Chung's childlike complaint sounded off followed by a thud as he rolled off his bed onto the floor.
Eve went to knock on Ara's door, but stopped as she heard something.
"Ssh!" Ara shushed someone.
"Okay okay!" A hushed voice replied. Eve began to wonder. What is Elesis doing in Ara's room? I'll act like I don't know.
"Ara!" Eve called as she knocked on the door, "Wake up sleepy!"
"I'm up!"
"Do me a favor and get Elesis up okay? I hate walking into that pigsty of a room to wake her up." Eve smiled as she clearly heard Elesis grumble.
"O-Okay!"
In the room just across from Elesis's was her brother's bedroom. Elsword was face down on the bed and fast asleep. He smelt breakfast and slowly picked himself up and rubbed his eyes. As usual, his bedroom window, which lead to a small balcony and faced the mountains, leaked in the morning rays, painting his room a deep, moody, romantic orange. Elsword grumbled, he hated how the girls, his sister mostly, teased him for it.
"Guess I'll practice again." Elsword said as he grabbed his armor and weapons. His sister long since stopped training when things grew peaceful, but Elsword still worked hard as his sister still pummeled him whenever they dueled.
"Elsword!" He turned to his door as he heard Eve's voice, "Breakfast!"
"Okay!" Elsword called back. He sighed, "Not really hungry anyway." Elsword sighed, he knew Rena would kill him for this but he really didn't want to waste time eating when he could be training. So, Elsword walked out onto his balcony, and jumped off onto the backyard below. Not missing a beat, he took off running into the trees, making a beeline to the training field.
Back at the house, Rena sat at the table, arms and legs crossed and a sour glare on her face. Eve sat patiently, not bothered by hunger as it was a simple simulation which she chose to turn off until they were allowed to eat. The others weren't so lucky. Rena suddenly slammed her fists on the table, making Ara and Chung jump.
"Where is he!?" Rena yelled. Elesis shrugged.
"Probably just went to sleep. It's not importan-"
"Yes it is!" Rena cut Elesis off, "It's your birthday and we're not eating until everyone is here!" Elesis groaned and face palmed. Chung held Ara's hand tightly, causing her to look at him.
"You okay dear?" Ara asked kindly.
"I'm going to go check on him." Chung said, getting up.
"I'll come!" Aisha said as she stood up, "If he fell asleep I'll give him a rude awakening."
"Get him down here now." Rena growled. Feeling threatened, Chung and Aisha bolted up the stairs. They ran to Elsword's room and Aisha opened the door in a hurry.
"Elswo-" Aisha froze, he wasn't in here. Leaping into action, Chung walked over to the open balcony door.
"That freaking idiot." Chung grumbled, "He's run off to the training field." Aisha sighed, covering her face.
"Rena is going to kill him!"
"Let's go get this idiot." So, the two jumped down, and crept into the trees to avoid Rena seeing them and assuming they were ditching.
Aisha and Chung ran to the open field where they held their sparring sessions. Sure enough, spying from the trees, they saw Elsword practicing his moves and drenched in sweat. It hadn't been long, but Elsword was already struggling to move his body and panting inconsistently. Chung and Aisha exchanged glances. Chung stood up and walked out of the trees.
"Elsword!" He yelled, making the redhead stop and look at him.
"Oh...Chung...What're you doing here?" Elsword smiled, "Wanna spar?"
"Are you that stupid?" Chung growled. Elsword stared at him as Aisha walked out.
"You skipped breakfast to train, Rena is furious and won't let anyone eat until you get there. And for El's sake Elsword..." Aisha pointed in the direction of the house, "It's your sister's birthday!"
"I know." Chung and Aisha blinked in disbelief, "Why do you think I'm training? She wants me to get strong, but I'm not good enough."
"Elsword." Chung sighed, "You're working too hard. Look at yourself." Chung gestured at the subject's sweaty form, "You've been training for like, what, five minutes at best? You're drenched, and obviously sore as hell."
"Yeah but-"
"Elsword please." Aisha pouted, "You're always out here right after breakfast and we never all get together. Like today I had a plan for something we could do for Elesis's birthday. But it won't be the same without you!" Elsword felt a pang of guilt, "Please, can't you just stop training for a week at least?"
"I say he should just stop. If he keeps going on like this he's going to hurt himself." Chung said. They both stared him down, and within a minute he sighed.
"Okay...I'll stop."
"There you are!" Everyone jumped as they heard Rena's voice. The rest of the group had come. Rena ran over to him and grabbed his collar.
"R-Rena let me-"
"Why are you out here?!"
"Rena we just-"
"And why are you guys here?!" Rena scolded the prince and mage. Raven walked up to them.
"Rena." Raven began. She turned to look at him and he picked her up by the waist and placed her down facing away from the others. She turned to look at him, "Why don't we let an explanation be heard?"
"Rena." Elsword took a step forward. He looked down, "I'm sorry for being so selfish. I was just...so wrapped up in getting stronger like sis wanted."
"Elsword..." Elesis sighed, walking up to him, "I don't need you to be strong. I just want us all to relax and have fun. Think about it, we've spent so long fighting. The strongest warrior is the one who lays down his blade." Elsword looked at her sister.
"Happy birthday sis, I'm sorry." Elsword bowed down. Feeling malicious, and knowing Rena was going to punish Elsword regardless of his forgiveness, Elesis took matters into her own hands. She took on step forward, and placed her hands on her hips.
"Elsword~" As Elsword looked up Elesis thrust her waist out, hitting Elsword in the face with the belt on her low hanging jeans. Elsword fell backwards holding his forehead in pain, and blushing furiously.
"Elesis!" Rena found that incredibly cruel. Everyone but her and Raven laughed as Raven helped Elsword up.
"Why the red face bro?" Elesis teased. She undid her belt, "Did you want me to do it without my pants?"
"Elesis!" Rena whined, and then heard a thud and saw Elsword had fallen face first onto the floor, blood trickling from his nose, "Ah! Elsword!"
