An Intuitive and Whimpsy Individual

The El Gang enters Denif’s dungeon to test their capability in front of The El Master of The Water. All was serious…until Elsword accidentally backflipped into a massive dragon tank.

Bulb….bulb…

The dragon, a majestic water beast, stared. It visibly unimpressed. It snorted when it noticed someone had just entered its sanctuary. When it found Elsword, it chased him. Panicked, Elsword managed to swim and reached the top of the tank.

“Why is Elsword swimming with a Leviathan?” asked Aisha, frowning. She watched how Elsword managed to swim away from the legendary water dragon. The red-haired boy knew that Leviathan was a legendary dragon that no one ever dared to mess up with.

“He’s a fishy boy now!” clapped Laby.

Dragon flicked water tail, soaking the whole party.

‘HEY!’ yelled Aisha, surprised.

‘YAY! Water splash!’

 ‘You splash, you pay,’ reprimanded Denif to the dragon.

Yet, the dragon seemed to be careless. It kept Elsword afloat by holding his cape with a fin…as if adopting him instead. He kept bringing him around like a trophy for some more laps, ignoring Elsword’s panic yell.

‘Denif, asked your dragon to release me!’ asked Elsword, finally.

 “Why do you get along with her better than I do…” muttered Denif under his breath, making sure no one noticed what he had said.

‘Denif?’

‘Yes, I know. Leviathan, released the boy. Now,’ ordered the El Master of The Water.

Leviathan submerged and headbutted Elsword’s ass, making the boy flew out of the tank and landed near Denif.

‘Ow…ow…What is wrong with that dragon? Someone needs to give it a ball or something to play with,’ said Elsword rubbing his but. After sometimes, he could finally stand up.

‘So….are you ready to get your test now?’ asked Denif.

‘Yes, sir!’ said Elsword, Laby and Aisha in unison.

“When a baby laughs, a fairy is born”

-Unknown Narrator from Tinkerbell (Opening)

Across Elrios—and even the human world—a freak windstorm breaks out. Trees uprooted, skirts flying, random feather storms in villages. Human ran in many directions, bumping each other. The uprooted trees in another human world blocked main roads in the cities. Some women screamed when they could not keep their hair and skirt intact, some non-avian animals flew and some calm and logical people rushed to seek shelter to protect themselves.

These messy situations were detected in the El Tower, alerting El Masters and urging them to hold emergency meeting amongst their rank. All camera screens in the main tower turned red with ‘WARNING’ word appearing and blinking.

‘What’s happening? Moments ago everything was fine,’ muttered Gaia.

‘Newborn Pixies and Sylphids…’ said Solace matter of factly.

‘Why are they swarming like that? Who will handle them?’ asked Rosso.

‘I am thinking to use my moon dome,’ Harque initiated.

‘Not a chance…’ deadpanned Solace. ‘There is a chance you will worsen the situation,’ the El Master of The Sun added.

‘Oh? So, you know the solution?’

‘Hmph…’

Before anyone continued talking which might lead to a long debate, Denif and Ventus appeared.

‘I will take care of these children of the wind. They’re my responsibility. This trouble was caused by hundreds of newborn Pixies and Sylphids were born from the laughter of babies across dimensions. These wind elementals are tiny, LOUD, full of tricks, and untrained,” said Ventus, he stayed at the door way.

‘You’ll need backup,’ said Denif, pausing his pace midway into the El main tower.

 ‘No...only I can understand their dialect. And their mischief,’ said Ventus, reassuring.

‘All right. You may go, but please return in one piece,’ said Denif sighing, he knew that Ventus had a point.

                                                ***

Ventus glided from one place to the others. In one of city sub-urbans, Ventus chase a group of newbornpixies and sylphids were playing tricks on a group of women. Making the women’s shrieks as an indicator, Ventus dashed to the newborns. The elemental children moved in band to escape Ventus. The chase was fast until at one point some agitated pixy babies sneezed so loudly that Ventus got blown into a bakery. Giggling, the newborn pixies and sylphids babies flew immediately.

‘You okay, Ventus?’ asked a fully grown female sylphid, Ventus’s best friend.

‘Yeah…’

‘Get up! We need to catch up! Otherwise, they will cause another problem!’ said the sylphid.

Ventus nodded and he retracked the newborns. Ventus and his companion left the bakery before human noticed their presence. After some times, he finally found them, yet again…This time thenewborn pixies and sylphids babies outran him. Unbeknownst to Ventus, they divided their group into two groups. The first group managed to get his attention while the others sneaked behind him. The second group ambushed Ventus hilariously. They drew Ventus’ wings while the others bit his clothes and this surprised Ventus. In addition, to Ventus’ nightmare, another group arrived and pour him with various colors of pixie glitters.

‘Oi!’

The babies giggled and ran again.

‘Hey! Wait! Come back here!’

Ventus chased them again until they reached a forest near Ruben. The newborn pixies and sylphids babies apparently were smart. They hid amongst the dense of the trees. Ventus managed to tiptoed to prevent him being noticed or from alerting the babies. Ventus took deliberate paces. He looked around or even ducked when he saw the babies. However, even if Ventus was extremely cautious and watchful, some pixie babies worked together with sylphid babies behind his back. As the result, Ventus’ sylphid companion was got ambushed by sylphid babies who held her legs and arms while some naughty pixies tied his ears with vines silently.

‘Huh? Why are my ears tightened?’ asked Ventus mentally. He ran his fingers to his ears.

‘This is…’ Ventus thought a moment. ‘…a vein?’

‘Te…he..he…’

Ventus shot his eyes upwards, finding a group of pixie babies holding vines in their tiny hands.

‘Ventus, help me! These babies trapped me!’ yelled Ventus’ sylphid companion.

‘Oi! Come here now!’

‘Bye!’

When the pixie babies about to leave, Ventus finally and immediately whistled an ancient lullaby only known by mature elves, which calmed the whole swarm. The pixie babies curled into flowers and fall asleep.

Ventus sighed and his sylphid companion could finally break free.

“...Ow.”

Sylphid floated by with a bandage in her hand. ‘The cyclone babies were truly troublesome. We were lucky because we could stop them. Hopefully, some smart human can make up stories about it.’

‘Yeah, and let’s return to El Tower now. We need to report this. Denif must be waiting for us,’ said Ventus as he activated to a portal to teleport them to El Tower. When he retuned there, he found all of El Masters, except Solace. The El Master of The Sun had returned to his personal quarter.

‘Welcome back,’ said Denif.

‘Good job. The situation is returning to normal and the balance has returned,’ added Gaia.

‘Yes, but I want to take a vacation after it,’ said Ventus. ‘Dealing with a swarm of newborn pixie and sylphid babies is exhausting,’ he added.

‘Fine. Take your time,’ said Denif.

 Disclaimer: I don’t own Elsword. Elsword belongs to KOGZ.

El Masters vs. Babies – “The Diaper Operation”:  When the El Tower Turns into a Nursery

One sunny morning, the El Masters woke up to find seven mysterious babies swaddled in glowing cloths, each placed neatly in front of the El Tower with a note:

“Dear Esteemed Masters, please take care of these blessings temporarily. We’ll return shortly. – A Devoted Pair of…Very Young Parents.”

Chaos unfolded almost immediately once the El Masters and one of El High Priest found the babies. The High El Priest requested the El Masters to take charge and so The Diaper Operation began.

Perrihart Solace, The El Master of The Sun, decided to bring a baby girl in his arms. He maintains his dignified presence until the baby tugged his bangs so hard that the El Master slightly winched.

‘Careful, little one,’ he said and the baby girl cooed at him. She, then, suckled her thumb. After a while, the baby began to doze off and nestled comfortably in between his outer vest of his uniform and his tight red uniform. Solace sighed and he, then, walked her to a made shift space near his room and managed to place her in a cradle, but she cried loudly whenever her body was in contact on the bed. Solace sighed and he finally decided to carry her everywhere he went.

In the east wing of the tower, Denif, El Master of The Water, experienced almost similar situation. The ancient dragon had been patiently holding one of the found human babies who kept poking his horns with wide-eyed curiosity. At one point, the baby tried to hang off the horns like monkey bars.

‘No…Not the horn and…I am not a jungle gym,’ Denif said as he removed the baby’s hand gently. ‘I hope you will soon understand that you, human, do not live as a single race in Elrios. You will notice that you live co-exist with us, dragons,’ said Denif softly. The baby giggled when Denif tickled her. Denif paid attention on her fully and he felt calm whenever the baby giggled.

When Rosso, The El Master of Fire, was handed a baby by one of the El Priest in his tower, Rosso is confidently smug at first: ‘Pfft, what’s so hard?’ Unfortunately for him, less than an hour, he got peed on, pooped on, and burped on—all in under 3 minutes. Rosso ended up spending nearly the rest of the day in a silent daze until Ventus, The El Master of The Wind, slipped him a towel as he passed by holding another baby.

Ventus dashed out as he repositioned the baby on top of his shoulders. The baby laughed cheerfully. Thanks to Ventus’s cheerful and playful nature, the baby giggled whenever he flew, but also drooled all over his ears.

 ‘Why are my ears chew toys now??’ Ventus thought. Ventus ended up with his ponytail tied to a mobile as a makeshift baby toy, making Sylphd laughed and spread her Pixie dust all around Ventus.

Not far from Ventus, Gaia, The El Master of the Earth, tried to talk softly, but the baby kept pointing around like she’s a queen directing her court. She LOVED booping Gaia’s nose; he looked cross, but secretly enjoyed it.

 ‘Bwoo!’ the baby cooed and booped Gaia’s nose again.

‘..Okay, just one more.’

In another part of the El Tower, Harque Ebalon, The El Master of The Moon, had been enduring a baby with high tantrum level. The baby threwpebbles, poked flames, and bit any object nearby.Harque attempted lullabies which was…..backfire. Instead of sleeping, the baby started screaming in perfect pitch with Harque’s melody, making Harque facepalming mentally. He felt the baby was ‘roasting’ him. Harque maintained to hold his calmness until….

‘Harque, STOP SINGING! You make the baby I am carrying scream intensely!’ screamed Rosso, judging by his voice he was in a complete distress.

Meanwhile, the El Lady, Hernier, had been trying to uphold her grace once one of the El Priests handed her a baby. The El Priest asked her to bless the baby and granted the baby a protection. However, to her surprise, the baby had never stopped gnawing the green tip of her long silver hair like it’s mint candy. However, the worst thing was that she got peed on mid-sermon, making her struggle not to get panicked or winched due to the smelly liquid. Later, the El Lady entered her private bath chamber and dried her robes while muttering, ‘This is a divine test…’
