Chapter 2 : A Destined Meet

He couldn't help but gape blankly at them. The will-o-wisps danced around him, all too fast for his eyes to follow, and even faster for him to make out what they were trying to tell him. Always dancing in the same pattern, in the same unfathomable forms. His curiosity glared at them, starving for their reason underneath their magnificence.

'Beautiful aren't they? Truly magnificent spirits,

Bring them back to the world, back to their duties,

Reach out to them, claim the strength to protect,

And find your true self, Elf of Nature's Guardians.'

The words were whispered in to his ears ever so softly, it almost excited him more than he imagined. Oh how he just wanted to let his hand rise up and gently caress the fluttering lights, wanting to know how it could just tempt him in its innocence.

But the moment the tip of his finger touched the will-o-wisp, he screamed.

"The Grand Chase was a band of warriors, gathered by the Queen of Serdin, to battle against the evil that tried to reign over Aernas. We were heroes, despite what lineage we came from or what background we had, protecting what was important to all of us…. FASTER!"

"Yes, sir!" Elaine shouted confidently back as she continuously jabbed the wooden sword in her hand through the air. She had lost count to how many times she had done so, let alone figure out what this was for. All she knew was that the moment she fell asleep again, Elesis was there next to her in her dream world and commanding her to grab a sword and start training. "But may I know what this is for?"

"Your body seems to remember my techniques that I had utilized before like instincts after my fight with the Orc Lord. But your mind won't be able to read it so easily. I'm just helping you recollect it all." Elesis crossed her arms with a smirk, watching her new self gradually gaining back her motivation and hastening her pace. "Loosen up your upper arms. Work on your hips' movement."

"Got it!" Once the red haired teen nodded, she began correcting herself slowly. The girl failed to ask her why this was to be done though. She was beginning to enjoy cutting through the air to ask that, and the thought of doing it in real life was exhilarating. "So Elesis. When you mean by band of warriors, how many are there?"

"Fourteen, myself included." A soft chuckle was made by the senior warrior. "You could say we were like a bizarre group of different and eccentric people who could barely stand each other, yet stick together like family."

"That means there are thirteen other people like me then…" Elaine stopped. She then turned to the older girl, straight into her ruby eyes. "I'll find your friends. Then we can end this all."

Touched by the decision and mused by the determination of the young girl, Elesis merely laughed. "Like I'd allow that. After how much I'm seeing, I'll have to shape you up a lot more that you can imagine! Now do some squats!"

"Did you hear about Naoto?"

"Yeah. Delinquents had tried to fight with him on his way home."

"I heard he returned ten folds though but they played dirty with knives."

"I want to visit him and nurse him!"

"You can't! No one knows where he's hospitalized…"

Elaine sighed to the never-ending gossip girls just next to her table. Where on Aernas did they get all these information from? She will never know. But surely eavesdropping on them was better than to look into her book of gibberish which everyone else calls a 'History Book'. She didn't really hate the subject. It was just that, the subject seems to find it easy to bore her to death. And don't get her started with her history teacher. An old man who just goes on and on and on without realizing he had gone off topic. It wasn't even a wonder that he didn't realize that she had been skipping his classes.
