Orsgadts
Elric and Emune

A strong wind roared loudly in circles and then grabbed the ground and the trees that passed through. Like the tendrils of a plant, the wind tied the four fighting men together and with a single jolt sent them slamming to the ground. They were all in pain and coughing.

"Thank you, Horeen. They need to be taught a lesson" Emune said. He smiled happily because Horeen had actually come when needed.

"Human, always act before thinking. Do I need to add to their pain?" ask Horeen. Four silly people, he thought.

"No. That's enough." Emune reached out her hand wanting to shake the elf's hand as a thank you but Horeen had already retreated faster.

"Don't till you get hit by shit. All right, I'm leaving." Horeen vanished while carrying the dried grass at each step.

Emune approached four people who were now sitting exhausted and in pain. "Fiona, are you okay?" ask Emune worriedly.

"Uugh, like being dropped from the second floor of Balach," Fiona replied.

Emune chewed it up so he could sit down near Greg. Like a magnet Greg and Fiona immediately embraced. Sweet, thought Emune.

"Greg, how are you?” ask Emune.

"It's okay, Emune. What was that?" ask Greg in surprise.

Emune did not answer. He ran towards Elric. "Elrices. You okay?"

Elric looked at Emune. The girl was real and was nearby. It felt like all the pain in his body was gone. She hugged Emune. "I finally found you" said Elric joyfully.

Emune feels warm in Elric's arms. He wasn't lying, Elric was really looking for him. "Come on, just lean here first. Who's that guy?"

"Alfred, my friend." Elric saw Alfred leaning back while preparing with his sword.

Emune's approaching Alfred. "Are you okay?"

"I'm doing fine. Thank you, Miss." Alfred lowered his sword.

"Emune, my name is Emune. Those two guys are my friends, Fiona and Greg. They're good people." Emune smiled at Alfred.

Alfred smiled as well. "Looks like. Don't worry about me. Please take care of Elric."

Emune nodded. He placed a bottle of cider near Alfred and returned to Elric.

Alfred took the bottle and opened it. This is the first time a girl has given him a bottle of apple cider. He downed the contents and smiled seeing Emune taking care of Elric carefully. "It's just fine that you can't sleep thinking about it, Young Master. Quality women," he murmured.

After the misunderstanding earlier, the six of them were now sitting together surrounding the campfire on the grassland at the edge of the city. Emune nagged because they almost killed each other earlier.

"You scared me. Can't you ask before you fight?" Emune the head bobble.

The four people who had fought each other spoke together, pointed at each other and tried to defend themselves. They finally laughed considering how ridiculous they had been. Emune shakes his head again.

"We'd better get back to the inn. We will continue the journey tomorrow morning" Greg said.

"Where?" ask Elric.

"Toures. We are going to Imperia first to Eimersun" replied Greg.

"I'm sorry, I'd like to talk to Emune for a second" Elric said.

Elric clasped Emune's hand and led her away from there. Greg was about to ban but was prevented by Fiona.

"That's Elric, Emune's girlfriend." Fiona whispers.

"Daughter?" ask Greg. Since when?

"Yes. Don't bother them." Fiona smiled amusedly at Greg's incredulous expression.

Greg sat down at last. He offered a small bottle of the famous Farclere wine to Alfred. Alfred took it and just took a few sips. The bottle and the contents he returned to Greg. Why was apple cider so much better than this wine, Alfred thought. He grins.

Elric and Emune sit on a boulder, not so far from where Alfred and Emune's two friends are. "You're driving me crazy, Emune. That night why didn't you tell me you were going to Alder?" Elric threw a branch far away.

"I don't think it matters. I also didn't know that you meant it with your words.” Emune.

"I'm looking for you in Ulrych." Elric smiled remembering Emune's aunt slamming the door as she went there first.

"Oh, I'm sorry" said Emune.

"It's okay. Coincidentally on our route. Your aunt and her twins are healthy. I think the men were in the fields when I came."

"Thank God. I miss them. I just can't go back." Emune looked at Elric's shady eyes that could calm him down.

"What about me? Did you miss me?" ask Elric.

"Can I miss you?" ask Emune slowly.

Elric. "What question is that?"

"Elric, you're handsome and kind. There must be a woman waiting for you to return from this trip." Emune is using his logic. A handsome man is always surrounded by many women, he thought.

"So know-so-fucking girl." Elric clasped Emune's hand and took out the box containing the engagement necklace he had prepared. "I came to Ulrych to make a bond. I brought this for you."

Emune hesitantly receives a small box proffered by Elric. He opened it and was amazed by the beauty of the sapphire-roofed gold necklace inside.

"Elric this ...."

"Will you accept it?" Elric stared expectantly. Just this time he had trouble eating hard to sleep because of a girl.

Emune's mind is torn between the happiness of Elric's proposal and the hard work he has to carry. He does not want to involve Elric in this suicide mission but he also can not lie to his feelings that say that he wants Elric. I should how?

"No. Are you doubting me?" Elric read Emune's face, trying to find some doubt there.

"Elric, no. This is my first time coming out of Ulrych. There's so much I want to see." An honesty and a perfect pretext, Emune thought.

"I understand you want to adventure. Emune, this bond doesn't mean we have to get married today or tomorrow. I don't care if you want to see a world you've never seen. After all, if you get married, you should be at least eighteen."

"really?" ask Emune. He was quite relieved to hear it. As if I could reclaim Orsgadt before my eighteenth birthday. How ridiculous!

"true." Elric grabbed Emune's hand.

Emune smiled. "I want to" he said shyly.

"Emune, thank goodness." Elric hugged Emune tightly. His scented hair and skin were smelled by Elric. This girl is his.

Emune drifting in Elric's arms. His thoughts about Orsgadt seemed to disappear while with Elric. Let it be, tonight, he thought.

Elric tied his necklace to Emune's neck. Very fast to wear by Emune. It is shining according to Elric.

Emune held the pendulum necklace Elric gave happily. They are now lovers. Emune doesn't know what will happen but as he decides to usurp the throne of Orsgadt, he won't give up on keeping his bond with Elric either.

Elric carried and held Emune. They were sitting on the grass behind a big rock. He stroked the face of his lover who had been chased for days without stopping.

Emune smiled at Elric then looked down. Elric lifted Emune's chin then kissed her lips gently. A passionate longing pervades both, making them forget about something else. When they stopped kissing, the two stared at each other meaningfully.

Emune rested her head on Elric's chest. I think he can fall asleep here because it is so comfortable. My first kiss was with a young man I liked. I'm so lucky!

Meanwhile Fiona is busy holding back Greg who is panicking because Emune is nowhere to be seen anymore.

"Emune is in danger. He's gone." Greg alert.

"Greg ...." Fiona grimacing. Greg can be pretty silly when it comes to Emune.

"Elric must have invented it. Let's go check," Greg asked.

"Greg, let it go." Fiona smiled at Alfred who grinned amusedly at Greg who was worried excessively. He knew Elric and Emune were behind the boulder. Maybe kissing, he thought.

"Let it? What if Emune's a bitch?" Greg stood up and extended his neck, hoping to see what was going on behind the boulder.

Fiona pulled Greg up to actually sit down. "They're dating. You think they're gonna knock each other out? Kissing the most."

"Kiss?" ask Greg. Emune is not yet mature enough to kiss, she said in her heart.

"Spark," said Fiona teasing Greg.

"Sparking?" Greg glares. Emune can't make out before she grows up, she thought.

"A few months later you'll have a cute and plump grandchild" Fiona added, smiling amusedly. He glanced at Alfred who laughed softly while playing the apple cider bottle in his hand.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Greg nosed Fiona's nose.

"Greg, you're like a chatty father who's worried that his daughter will be impregnated. Can you relax a little?" Fiona laughs. "You should have seen Greg's panic when Emune was almost kidnapped in Darfin" Fiona told Alfred.

"Therefore I am always worried! Don't let Emune do anything!" greg shouted while standing up. He wanted his voice to get behind the stone. He then glared at Fiona who was laughing out loud.

Alfred laughed a little. "Don't worry, Elric's a good guy. It is also reliable."

Greg was already half seated then chose to stand up again and shout. "Emune, it's night. Sleep time!"

This time Fiona and Alfred laughed out loud at the same time. Greg is so funny, they think.

Behind the boulder, Elric and Emune laughed amusedly at Greg who was shouting silly.

"He must be upset because there's me." Elric plays Emune's broken hair.

"Greg was like that after I almost got kidnapped in Darfin." Emune shuddered every time he remembered it.

"What's? Emune, that's terrible!" Elric didn't like it.

Emune smiled miris. He regretted it too. "Greg saved me. What happens if there's no Greg and Fiona."

"I'll take care of you from now on."

"Are you going along on my journey?"

"certain. I don't want you to get hurt."

Emune smiled.  Elric looked sparkling in his eyes. Her lover who would always protect her was already here. Emune is calm.

"Elrices. I'm ...." Emune weighs in to tell Elric about his identity and mission.

"I'm not banning you from traveling but I want you to be safe so I'll take care of you." Elric clenched Emune's hand. "I know Greg's gonna scream again if we don't get there but I want to kiss you again."

"I think Greg should be more patient" said Emune timidly.

Elric kissed Emune on his lips and then his forehead.  Emune smiled as she liked that soft kiss.  Elric helped Emune stand up. They returned to the campfire hand in hand.

Greg immediately separated Emune and Elric. He pulls Emune to walk ahead with Fiona. Fiona and Emune were whispering amusedly. They returned to their own inns.

That night Emune had a very beautiful dream. In his dream, there was Elric and Orsgadt who he managed to take from the despotic king Goenhrad.
