Chapter 2: Enter...Rune Slayer?

Elsword's POV

As I was falling through space, I saw a burst of flames. Then I hit my head on something hard. I'm pretty sure it was a rock. I saw the blood flowing from the wound in my head before I fell unconscious.

When I finally came to I was laying on a patch of grass. I could hear someone talking to himself. "Oh no... What if I killed him? Wait... I used my fire rune. I could not have given him a cut to the head. Plus, it looked like he hit a rock. If that is true, where did he come from? I hope he wakes up soon so I can ask him. At least I didn't burn him to a crisp..."

I sat up and he came over to ask me some questions. I noticed he had some bright red hair. " Where do you come from?" He asked excitedly. " I came from a different dimension. There a friend messed up her dimensional spell and we ended up all separated. Then I landed here." I replied. " My guess is that we may be versions of the same person. Judging by our red hair of course." He said. " So you started as Elsword?" I said amazed. "Yep, took the path of magic knight." He said proudly.

"We should probably tell our class names. As well as have nicknames to call each other by." I said. "Sure, I'm Rune Slayer. My friends all call me Rune." Rune said. " I'm Lord Knight. I don't really have a nickname." I replied. "That's okay! We can call you Lor. It's an abbreviation." Rune said happily.

"Let's head into town for some lunch" "okay. I am getting hungry." I said.

Then we both ran over to Velder Village. We entered a restaurant and sat down. While we waited for a waiter or waitress we began to talk again. "I am going to meet up with all my friends in a few weeks." Rune said. "Wait, did't you say you already had some nicknames for each other?"
I said confused. "Yeah, thanks to Elem we found out our second job class. She is a very strong magician. She was also the one who said I should be a Magic Knight." Rune replied proudly.

Just then a waitress showed up. "May I take your orders? " she asked politly. "I would like some fried chicken with a side of mashed potatoes. As well as some water to drink." Rune replied. "I would like some ribs with a side of ceaser salad and some iced tea please." I replied.

She left and we discussed some ideas for training. I would train him with his sword because I am a commander of one of the Velder Knight's troops. Then he would show me some of his runes. Sounds like it will be lot's of fun.

A few minutes later and we got our lunch. We finished it quickly so we could train. On the way out of the restaurant Rune picked up some Phoru cookies for later.

After we spared for a bit ( I won every single time) I sat down on a big rock and watched him practice his runes while I ate some Phoru cookies.

"What are all your friends like?"
I asked. "Well, Grand Archer, who we call Arch is nice and excitable. Iron Paladin, who we call Pala is hyper and girly. Which isn't right since Pala's a guy. Elemental Master, who we call Elem is talented and intelligent. Veteran Commander, who we call Veter is calm and collected. Lastly is Code: Battle Seraph, we all call her Sera. She is just emotionless. Quite a boring thought actually." Rune explained. "Sounds like a lot of fun" I said while laughing. "Really?" Rune said surprised.

" Yeah, the ones I know cause way too much trouble." I said. "Can you tell me about them?" Rune said excitedly. "Well Wind Sneaker is strong and very, very, very, very scary. Tactical Trooper is smart and looks like Pikachu from Pokemon" I started " Gotta catch 'em all!" Rune sang. " Dimension Witch is talented and crazy. She's the one who got me here. Blade master is intelligent and a copycat. He uses a sword too. Even though it's more of a fencing sword. Code: Empress has two more Nasod servants named Oberon and Ophelia. They do all the fighting for her." I finished. "Wow... they sound very, interesting." Rune said nervously. "More like destructive. We've only destroyed five small villages to date." I said while sighing.

Then we did the most typical thing you do in awkward situations. We burst out laughing. We laughed for an hour straight. Anyone walking by gave us looks like we were mental or a new species of glitters. Which caused us to laugh more and laugh harder.

When we finally stopped we went to the hotel Rune was staying in. It was called 'Sunset Springs' a very lovely place. We went to Rune's room. "Lor you can take a shower first." Rune said while he ate the rest of the Phoru I got out I drank some water and layed down on the pull out couch. I didn't even stay awake long enough to hear Rune come out before I fell asleep.

I had a dream where we accidentaly destroyed Hamel. Kind of scary actually. Chung grew really big and destroyed the world, with a bunch of Pikachus.

I woke up to the sound of Rune's LOUD snoring. "Hey Rune! My friends just showed up!" I said to wake him up. "Yeaaaaarrrrgggghhhhh" Rune yelled in a girlish like voice. It was kind of funny actually. He looked wildly around the room. "Just kidding!" I said while smiling. "Don't do that ever again Lor!" Rune said in a grumpy voice while glaring at me. "Only if you wake up earlier." I said cheerfully.

We both got dressed in SEPARATE ROOMS.(Sorry Yaoi fans. Not today.)
Then we went down stairs and had some delicious pancakes for breakfast. I ate at least twelve pancakes. If not more. Rune and everyone in the room just sat there and stared with their jaws dropping.

"What?" I asked confused. "Where does that food go?" Everyone asked at the same time. "A bottomless pit. Aisha practiced her dimension magic on my stomach. It turned into a black hole for food only." I sighed. "Tragic..." they said.

Then Rune and I went down to the training spot. Laughing all the way. "Good joke!" Rune exclaimed happily. "What joke? I was perfectly serious." I said quite confused. "You mean to say that was a true story?" Rune asked in awe. "Yep, it really did happen. Now I will always win eating contests. That is a good thing at least." I said cheerfully. "You're a bit too optimistic Lor." Rune said while sighing.

We trained in our own unique ways before we spared. Leading to, yet again, a win by me. I watched Rune do some more runes.

"Say, do your friends have weird eating habits?" I asked. "Oh sure, I guess you want to hear them?" Rune said while semi-concentrating on what he was doing. "Yes I do want to know." I said happily. "Well, Arch only eats plants, fruits, and vegetables. Pala only eats food if it is arranged cutely. Elem eats magical food. Veter eats military rations. Sera doesn't eat anything." "Sounds fun... I think" I said while giggling. "Not really. Restaurants have a bit of a hard time getting the food." Rune sighed.

When we finished we went down to the town to get some cool armor. Then we would go do some dungeons. Three weeks till we meet his friends!
