Y/N, THE 14TH MEMBER OF THE FLAMECHASERS: An [Honkai Impact 3rd] Mini-Story

III. Y/N'S BACKSTORY PT. 2

======================================

The next thing I knew as I woke up from my slumber, I could see lights shining down on the bed I was lying on.
It also brightened the room, making it harder to open my eyes.
Examining the room to be a lab, I slowly sat up, while keeping the pillows behind me as support.

Y/n:  "Where am I?"

My clothes were already changed to some comfortable sleeping clothes.
But something about this place gives me goosebumps.

???:  "Oh my, you're awake? You sure are a long sleeper, I never thought you would never awaken ever again~"

Y/n:  "..."

???:  "You are silent, just like Kevin... but I don't dislike that about you. You have... um, how should I say this? You have this maturing picture that makes you a young woman."

Y/n:  "..."

???:  "Anyways, let's start with introductions! My name is E_y_ia, but you can call me Ellie."

Y/n:  "How long have I been sleeping?"

Ellie:  "You have been sleeping for at least a week now. Your vitals now are stable as it wasn't in its best form before I brought you here. Thanks to my two friends... Doctor MEI and Mobius, they were able to bring you back to a perfect position for now."
Y/n:  "I see... I'll thank them when I do get the chance."

Ellie:  "I also want to let you know that right now you are in the base of the Flame-chasers."

Y/n:  "Flame-chasers?"

Ellie:  "The Flame-Chasers are humans that are fused with a honkai specimen that is compatible to only them, and use its power to defeat the Honkai."

Y/n:  "I don't quite understand it..."

Ellie:  "It's okay, you will. Anyways, back to what I was suppose to say... Normally I'm not supposed to bring a normal person as yourself here."

Y/n:  "Then... why did you save me?"

Ellie:  "Hmmm... Well, when I brought you in, one of my friends, Sakura, had sensed incredible Ki around you."

Y/n:  "Ki?"

Ellie:  "You can say that you have an incredible presence to Sakura. In her eyes, you are someone that can't be left alone. Of course, I was also shaken when I first found out how thrilling you were to her as well to the other flamechasers. That's why I decided, as the 2nd in command... that you'll be our last member of the MOTHS!"

Y/n:  "Can I refuse?"

Ellie:  "Eh? You want to refuse such a big opportunity?"

Y/n:  "I don't think it's a big opportunity, more like, I might be a bother to be with you."

Ellie:  "That's not true, you definitely not a bother! Do you not want to spend time with your savior?" Ellie grins with the utmost innocent smile with no bad intentions.

Although I felt a bit suspicious about her.

Y/n:  "I don't even know if I'm useful to you all, not even that, I don't know if I'm useful myself. You see, I just got out of a bad situation and I'm grateful for you for saving me. But, I don't want the bad experience to happen again because of me... And I maybe pull down the Flame-chasers as a result of my recklessness..."

Ellie:  "I would never abandon a young person like you~ I might come off as untrustworthy but trust me, I would never betray my words for anything else. If it's something I want to do, then I will do what it takes to achieve it with my own hands. Even if I tried to break my promise, I will never forgive myself if doing so in the first place."

Y/n:  "You think I'll fit here?"

Ellie:  "Of course! I understand, not everyone can't be your friend but at least you know there are some who will hold you with the most importance as you do with them. If you need a reference book for dummies on how to become friends with each and one of them, I have them for you~!"

Y/n:  "Not like I'm going to need them... but, it's okay for me to stay here?"

Ellie:  "Of course, of course! Oh! And since you want a good experience, I'll be your first friend! You probably forgot my name already but I want to say it again so you can remember me well! Introducing myself again, my name is E__ia! What's yours?"

Y/n:  "Y/n... L/n."

Ellie:  "I see, Y/n huh? Then N/n, it is!"

Y/n:  "I don't mind if you call me that, I prefer you call me by that nickname."

Ellie:  "Oh, you like the nickname? Then N/n, pleased to meet your acquaintance!"

Y/n:  "Likewise, Elysia."
