Elsword: Does Love Exist?

"How much farther?!" Elsword whines.

"About six more miles," Rena replies.

Elsword groans loudly.

"Oh, hush up!" Complains Aisha, annoyed, about to collapse from hauling her own luggage.

"It's so far!"

"I can hold the carry on if you want me to, Elsword." I offer, opening my arms out for the impact of the bags.

His face lights up like a fire cracker. "Really Alice? You're my hero!" Immediately, he dumps the luggage in my arms. "I feel free now."

"Alice, I can't seem to get why you would bother with that thing." The Elemental Master jerks her head, disgustingly, at the Rune Slayer.

"I second that," agrees a grumpy Raven.

Throwing the two bags over my back and tightening the straps around my shoulders   I ask, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing particular."

"Aww.. does the poor little baby need a nap?" I tease, sticking out my bottom lip.

Raven's ear tips turn a hot pink.

I giggle to myself.

The rest of the walk is filled with comfortable silence.

~3~ ~3~ ~3~

By the time we reach Feita village, the sky is filled with gleaming colorful stars.

To bad it wasn't as beautiful as the one I saw at the park.

Walking into the boundary of the village, the six of us go straight to the nearest hotel called "Marriott".

The name didn't seem all that special, but once I stepped into the five star hotel I felt like I was living in a palace.

Opening the twin glass doors, I was greeted with a burst of cool A.C. air. The lobby we ambled in could have fitted our dinning room, kitchen, and living room. Probably maybe my bedroom too.

Four paper chandeliers circled the center of the lobby, surrounded by ceiling lights.

Four red, rectangular pillars stood a foot, separated in a square alliance.

Parallel from each other, vertical striped and light brown sofas aligned in a perfect square.

The creamy colored stone tiles was so clean I could see my reflection.

In front of us, a couple feet away, was the desk top to check in.

The gang walked straight up to it. Well maybe not all of us.

Elsword, of course, walked to one of the nearest red sofas and plopped on down. Aisha and Raven joined him. So Rena was the one to talk to the person at the check in desk. While she did the talking and arranging, everyone else just chilled.

I turn to Rena, "Do you think I can go look for Chung?"

"Of course you can, deary." Rena flashes a smile at me. "The rest of us will be here unpacking. The room should be 186."

"Got it." I waved goodbye and I was off my way.

Oh my gosh!

It was great that I got to join the gang on this journey, but what wasn't so great was that I have no clue where I'm going.

I took a left at Rentro's shop which lead me to Camilla's Training Shop.

Walking pass, something caught my attention, "Hyper Active Outrage Strike!"

My curiosity got the better of me.

Slowly, but surely, I walked into the average sized, red house. A bell jingles above the door noting my arrival.

I was greeted by a woman with a red cap and shaggy brown hair, "Hello, welcome to Camilla's Sparring Shop. How may I help you?"

Realizing she was talking to me, I replied, "The loud yelling...."

"Hm? Oh yes, you mean Chung."

Quickly, I beamed. "Could you tell me where he is?"

"He's in one the sparring rooms." She points to a door to the side of her.

"Oh," my smile drops.

Why does it have to be so hard to get around?

"You must be new to this," the woman states.

Someone finally realizes the pain I'm going through!

My smile brightens like the sun. "Yes, it's been so hard since this is actually my first time being out here in the real world."

"Well then first off, my name is Camilla, hence the shop name. Follow me," Camilla gestures me over to the sparring door. "This, as you may see, enters into the Sparring Lobby." She opens the door in an angle where I can see inside.

When she opened the door a whole new world opened up for me.

Orbs floated in the huge room, names attached to them.

"These as you can see are rooms."

"Rooms?" I repeat, not quit getting it.

"Yes rooms. Just by touching one you'll enter into it. That room will be where you shall spar. Once there, you may knock out your opponent to your heart's content."

"What if you want to get out of the room?"

"I'll show you. Follow me." Camilla's hand hovers over an orb called "Deadly Kill", then she vanished into the thing.

Amazed, I followed after her.

Being sucked in was like spinning around in a tornado. I wanted to throw up but at the same time it was exciting.

"Alice?"

Turning around, Chung was standing there alittle bit scratched up.

"Chung!"
