A Promise Beyond Worlds...


I showered that morning trying to scrub the imaginary filth and stench of blood off of my skin, the blood of Chloe, the Blood of Raven. That nightmare was so vivid and I was trembling from it. I turned off the valve and stepped out. I took soft steps lotioning my soft skin and patting myself dry. I fluffed my hair and brushed in making sure it was straight and flowed down gracefully. I put the black wrap around my hair making it look as if it was in a pony tail. I curled the portions of my hair on top and on the sides giving it a messy but nice look.

I walked into my room. I opened my dresser drawer and pulled out a casual white dress down shirt with a brown plaid skirt that came up mid upper thigh. I grabbed black and grey stripped leggings that came a little bit above my knees. I put on white leg warmers, I decided to put on some 3 inched black heels. I looked in the mirror and smiled softly, I could tell in my eyes though, my expression, and even my glow wasn't there anymore, the dream messed me up badly. I had to somehow prevent the death of Chloe. Maybe only then I would find Redemption and regain my Radiance. I looked out my window gazing at the rising sun. I saw drizzles of drops even though there wasn't any clouds. I walked through the dorms, hearing showers running and tampering in drawers.

I swayed in my steps looking towards the door tiredly. I had a certain bounce in my step that seemingly everyone loved, I managed to keep that at least. I put a hand on the door opening it slowly. I was welcomed by the warmth of the sun. As I stepped out I could feel the drizzles of rain on my cream skin. It felt nice, though it was abnormal. I walked through campus, I attached my bow on my wrist and kept Erendil in my sheath. From the side, I saw Aisha and Elsword talking and laughing together. They were so happy together, I sort of envied them. I wish I can find love like that.

"Rena." I heard Raven's baritone voice and I turned to be meeted with his intense golden eyes. I stood back shocked slightly but I didn't let it be shown on my features, Raven let out a amused sigh. "Rena what's wrong with you?" I looked down and turned my head away, I couldn't tell him, I really couldn't. What would he think of me if I had a dream where I supposedly killed him? My Best Friend. My Partner. I put a hand on my forehead feeling a strong headache coming on.

"Tell me." He put his hand on my shoulder and gripped it tightly, making me wince at the feel. I stared at his eyes. I should tell him, I promised I wouldn't keep anything from him, but that wasn't going to stop my fear. "Raven, I had a odd dream last night, almost like a omen…" I held my head down and balled my fists, a pain radiating and pulsing from the hand with the bow on it. This damn bow is evil. "In it…I was fighting Chloe…I didn't want to kill her, I couldn't control myself…I was there but I couldn't control my body…Chloe was pleading for me not to kill her. Chloe…" I closed my eyes tears crashing down. "After…I killed her…You came up to me…I still couldn't control myself…I walked up to kill you…but that's when it ended." I shook my head and held a arm up to my eyes.

Raven hugged my slightly and I gripped him tightly hugging back. I sobbed and let out whimpers. "Hey, stop crying, it doesn't look nice on that pretty face of yours." I blushed faintly and nodded. I wiped my tears and he patted my cheek. "Rena don't worry about it. That mission, when it was said to you. It was a big shock. Don't worry about it okay?" I nodded once more and walked forward, feeling a lot better. Raven had that effect on me. He always knew how to make me feel better. Raven caught up with me and rested his head on my shoulder playfully. I giggled and lifted his head up putting my head on his shoulder and wrapping a arm loosely around his waist. This was always comfortable.

TSY

I waited in the outside area of the campus for Raven to appear, I had on my battle suit. My Trapping Ranger clothes. It was still pretty revealing and had me a bit, self-conscious. It was chilly again, I was waiting outside, in the fall chilling breeze, the leaves falling turning orange and brown, which decorated portions of the Campus grounds. The crunching from them signifying that Raven was coming. I saw him wearing his Class uniform ready for battle. He looked so gruff in that outfit. I was not looking forward to this mission. I wish it was back in Feita like most of Aisha's and Elsword's missions. But NO! We had to get Velder!

We began walking to the main area of Velder, the scenery becoming dark, the skies turning red. I could hear the grumbles from demons. I looked ahead to see a large bridge hovering over the infamous large Velder River, which eventually lead to the ocean. But there was a gate blocking the city from the ocean. I wondered why. I knew it was a pier out there but why weren't they letting any civilians out there? I stopped at the large wooden gate that was at the beginning portion of the Bridge. Raven walked over and easily pulled the up with his Nasod arm using the lever. I stared ahead and Raven walked over to me tapping me on my shoulder.

"Let's go." Raven commanded softly but in a hardened tone. I nodded and we both charged ahead wind rushing behind us and a trail of dust in our tracks. Raven was slightly moved up ahead from me but I was by his side nevertheless. I saw Giant demons, Some flying in the sky, Giant Wyverns and those Glitter monsters, a lot of them reinforced with giant shields. Barricades were held up, Raven easily used his Nasod arm punching right through the wood shattering and crashing to the ground. I rushed in behind him charging with Erendil unsheathed. Raven had to make his recovery from punching that barricade so hard. I lashed out at some of the archers viciously. Slashing them under and over quickly, flipping over them with grace and hitting them in the back. I heard whirring behind me, I quickly back flipped just evading a large mace from a Panzer. He had heavy shields.

I shook my head. I wasn't going to do this hand to hand, that shield was to large. "CALL OF RUIN!" I summoned several magical spheres. They constantly damaged the panzer and the straggling Glitter soldiers around him. The Spheres shot out spikes increasing the damage, I flipped into the air and down to the ground using Erendil with a wide slice causing the Magical Spheres to explode and the enemies vanished, only Holy feathers flowed from the sky in the area down to the ground. Raven caught up and we moved on ahead to the next place where a group of those Glitters resided.

I rushed through, I wanted to end this, I didn't want to stay on this mission long so I gave it all I got. A scowl was embedded on my expression as I held Erendil out once more as I ran forward. "FATALITY! HYAH!" I dashed through faster than the speed of sight. The enemies behind falling to the ground and dying instantly. Their heavy bodies shaking the bridge. "Bursting Blade!" I saw the flames from Raven's Nasod arm above me and falling pieces of a burning Wyvern fell on the ground in front of me. I turned to Raven and smiled. "Thanks for that." He smiled. "We're partners right?" I smirked and rolled my eyes. We continued running forward. "Rena jump!" Raven shouted and I did as he commanded, I jumped into the air. "HELLFIRE GATLING!" Raven unleashed a fury of flaming balls of heat at the horde of enemies of ahead, his expression becoming painful he stopped clutching his arm. I saw a row of Wyverns ahead from the platform I was standing on. "KARMA!" Heavy gusts of wind blew the Wyverns away from circles summoned on the ground by me.

The Wyverns got blown off the bridge and ripped apart from the sharp wind hits. "Chloe isn't to far up ahead Rena. Let's go. We should end this as soon as Possible." I nodded slowly and we dashed ahead viciously unleashing powerful and lethal attacks on every horde we saw. We showed no mercy. I wanted to get Chloe, I wanted to take her home. I couldn't leave here without her, If I had to kill her, I don't know what I would do.

We reached the end of the bridge, it had grown noticeably darker and I saw the ending gate of the long Hope Bridge, I saw Chloe leap down gracefully and stand one foot in front of the other, her hair was a white pinkish color and her skin darkened with revealing armor relatively similar to mines. "Chloe…" I breathed out her name and she smirked down devilishly at me. "Rena."

Flashback

"Rena! Rena!" Chloe ran up to me with wide and bright eyes, her white abnormal hair and cream colored skin flowing behind her nicely. She walked up to me beaming. "Rena look what I found!" She held up a small sword it looked very pretty and important. I took it cautiously and stared at the blade, I placed it back in her hand. "It looks valuable, Jeez Chloe where'd ya find it this time?" I rolled my eyes and she pouted. "I didn't steal this like the other stuff! Honest!" I could tell from the expression in her eyes she was being honest.

"Anyways! I want you to have it Rena!" My eyes widened and I fell back in shock, I recovered and dusted my uniform off. "Chloe! You found it and it looks like a marvelous blade! Are you sure you want to give it to me?" I said in disbelief, Chloe was so generous, even if her ways sometimes of acquiring things weren't…as holy as they should be. She nodded and gave me another bright smile. "Yep! You're my best friend! The sister I've never had! Plus you have nothing but that stupid bow! No offense but it must suck having the only option of attacking from a distance, don't you want Variety?" I scoffed but I smiled brightly at her. "But what about you Chloe?" Chloe took out a dark blade that was made with a obsidian material. I stared at it with captivated interest.

"That's a beautiful knife Chloe. Is that okay with you?" She nodded smugly. "Damn straight it's okay! This blade is awesome! Plus I'm more of a close-ranged fighter so using this knife is perfect for me! I got this bow with me just in case but I hate it…" I stared at my bow and scowled at it. I nodded and grabbed the Sword firmly. I felt power seep into me and it glowed brightly. Me and Chloe gripped the hilt tightly covering our eyes from the sudden brightness. The brightness soon ended and I felt awakened with a new type of power from the inside of my heart, my eyes opened and I stared at Chloe, she stared back at me. "What…the hell was that?" Chloe asked me. "You felt that rush of power?" She nodded and looked sad. She pushed the blade hilt into my hand. "Rena…I have a feeling this blade only reacted to you because it chose you. Promise me you'll become a Excellent swordswoman. Use it to the highest extent." I nodded. "I Promise."

Flashback End

"Rena why are you here?" Chloe jumped down from her spot and walked swaying in her step and having that bounce just like I had, we were such close friends. I looked to the side, not wanting to meet her wide beautiful eyes. It would break my heart. "I'm sorry, I was a assigned a mission by my academy to kill you." I heard Chloe let out a gasp in shock, she took a step back. "R-Rena…are you..?" She stared at me in disbelief and her lip quivered. Tears brimmed her eyes and I felt as if someone grabbed my heart and was gripping it hard into their fist and it wouldn't pop. "I don't want to…I…I actually want to take you to the academy, back with me." I smiled at her trying to give a hopeful expression, she looked down and sighed. "I'm sorry…I can't…My contract with the Dark Elves ties me to them. If I were to leave, It may cause a attack on the Academy, more importantly, you." She balled her fists and inwardly cursed.

"CHLOE! CHLOE!" I shouted as I ran through our burning village crying, my face had gotten scarred from a Dark Elf scratching me. They were coming for Elven women to take and change to their side for commanders. I searched desperately for Chloe, Not even caring about myself. I carried the sword Chloe gave me and I gripped it tightly in my hand. "CHLOE PLEASE CALL OUT!" I yelled screaming at the top of my lungs, my voice cracking and I fell to the ground. "AGH!" I heard Chloe's pain filled scream. I sprinted up and rushed through the non-stop fires, flares falling to the ground igniting it slightly, I became singed slightly looking for her, I ran around a corner to see a male Dark Elf standing over her. Chloe was on the ground clutching her stomach, from the view I could see that she was gushing out blood. "CHLOE!" I ran towards her only to be smacked by the Dark elf being slammed into a tree. I coughed up blood at the strong force. I got up weakly and I slowly crawled, my vision becoming hazy.

Chloe looked at me and her eyes widened. Her lip quivered and she turned the man sharply anger in her features. "I'LL BECOME THE NEW COMMANDER OF THE DARK ELVES! JUST DON'T HURT HER!" She pleaded. My eyes widened in shock. I got up weakly and crawled slightly closer to her. "CHLOE NO!" She put a hand up and smiled weakly. "Rena…You're…the sister I've never had." The words rang in my head, the exact same thing she said before she gave me this dear sword. "You've always been there for me. Even now…" She coughed up blood and my hands shook violently I reached over and hugged her tightly. "All I want now…is to make sure your safe…Don't worry about me…" I shook my head violently. "NO! NO CHLOE YOU CAN'T GO!" I begged and begged. I felt her hot tears fall on my shoulders and I cried heavily. Her blood stained my clothes and I could fell the heat of it. "Please…Take care of the sword I gave you, as a memento…of our friendship, okay Rena? Remember your promise…now…I have to go…" I stared in her eyes my heart cracking and the immense pain rushing through my bruised body. "I love you, Rena…" She closed her eyes softly and I could hear her faint breathing. "I love you too…Chloe…Sayonara…"

Flashback End.

"I've never forgotten that day." I said darkly. Chloe only nodded, Chloe hadn't lost her sanity, her train of thought, even after all these years. That's how close we were a bond that could not be broken. "Rena…" Chloe gave me a saddened smile and my heart twinged at the sight. "Let's fight…Show me that you've kept your promise, and I'll willingly accept defeat from you and accept my death. I want this to end, and I'd rather have you kill me, by the blade I gave you when we were young and that tied our bond." Tears flowed from my eyes and I wiped my eyes. This is what she wanted, so I'll grant. I nodded and readied up.

"Alright…LET'S GO!" She charged at me and slashed with her dark knife gashing my arm and I felt a poison rushing from the area, I winced and back flipped away. Chloe launched herself in the air dropping explosive arrows down. I ran and jumped in the air landing by her and slashed her with Erendil. I continued my combo cutting her badly, I landed a explosive arrow and it erupted causing her to yell in pain which broke my heart. "TRAPPING ARROW!" I shot a large arrow which pierced through her and more explosive arrows laid on the ground which exploded bringing her backwards. I jumped forward catching her in the air bringing her down with my sword.

"Sayonara…CHLOE!" I shouted as I rushed forward and prepared myself, I glowed brightly with a engulfing green flame and my eyes shone brightly. "FATALITY!" I went across at lightning speed slashing Chloe across the stomach. I stood still, afterwards not wanting to look back, I sheathed Erendil and stared at the ground crying violently. I shook, I trembled violently. I turned around and caught Chloe before she hit the ground. "Chloe….Chloe did I do good?" She stared at me and gave me a happy smile, the smile I missed for years. "Yes…Yes, you did. You kept your promise, and you gave me the wish I wanted…Rena…Thank you. I hate to leave you like this. Please, keep advancing in your technique and vanquish the evil that has captured me and separated us." I put her hand on my heart and I put my hand on hers. "I'll always be with you." We both spoke in unison. "Treasure the most, Ichiban no Takaramono…" We continued. Chloe began singing a soft melody that she used to when she was younger that helped me go to sleep. It was altered slightly though…

"Long ago, whenever we'd meet. We would always fight, lie and scream…Yet, I still look back on those days so fondly. Because of you, I am the person who is standing here so proudly, before you…" Chloe gripped onto my hand tightly and Raven walked over, I could see tears in his eyes, he ways crying, I cried more and more staring into Chloe's wide eyes but a look of happiness on her features. "And no matter how hard it may be I can grasp a hold of happiness, I believe. Even though my heart is aching…And my weakened spirit, breaking…I will find a way to keep, all those dreams we made so long ago." Flashes of my mind of me and Chloe running through the forests hunting and saying crazy things of buying a house together and living together. "I'll return to where it began, And I'll thank God for the times we had. So when I wake up to Heaven Morning, I won't cry, even though I'm no longer with you." She patted my cheek and I let a wide smile show. "Thank you, I wanted to see that…One last time…Sayonara…Rena-chan…" Her eyes faded and the life in them vanished. I rested my head on her soulless corpse and cried more.

"Rena…" I nodded and stoop up. I grabbed a lotus from my hair and placed it over her heart, I close her eyes and laid her straight on the ground. Chloe was a sister to me, I loved her so much, now this new sudden evil stole that away from me. I became angry, I remembered her final song she sung to me and I cried more. I put a hand to my forehead and let the tears flow. I would be messed up for awhile after this.

I felt Raven's strong arm's wrap around me and I gladly returned it, He planted a kiss on my forehead which caused me to blush, I rested my head against his chest and sighed. At least she died the way she wanted to, by the blade we shared, and by her one and only person that she cared about in her life. Raven picked me up bridal style and I turned my head into his chest. I brought me closer comforting me. I was happy that Raven cared for me so much, other than that, I believe Chloe was the only one. But maybe one day Me and Raven could grow that close…

"You are my most precious treasure…"
