Freedom from old, feelings endlessly flowing along. Streaming waves, many moving within its vastness. Those not in awareness on possibilities, moments coming, intersecting paths. Betterment from some, conflict from others. Infinite in mysteries, one coming time. Those of differing worlds, two meeting underneath the light of the crimson moon. Small words at first, their growing friendship. A deepening relationship, their close bond. Little problems, happiness between them. The warm sun shining down, two at a harbor. That girl checking off a list, errands no less. A grey coat on her, a red shirt, her black shorts. That partner with her, her dark top, her long blue jeans.

"Still have quite a bit to go, thanks for volunteering as my guard today." Elina smiling at her.

"Knowing your luck, you are likely to run into trouble." Gesturing her hand to the girl.

"What? Not true!" pouting, moving up to the maiden.

Her hands on her waist, raising her chest. Learning of her encounters, that young woman concerning with her. Some days off, spending it with this one. Readying herself for threats, conflict around every end. Varying in severity, believing in her capabilities. That one before her, this amusing individual. An enjoyable person, innocence in this miserable realm. Rareness in it, not expecting it. Gratefulness for their meeting, their developing sentiments. That girl voicing her reliableness, her firm stance, her friend thinking for a moment. Swiftly moving behind her, gripping their wrists. Raising them a bit, leaning in, whispering into her ear.

"I am finding it difficult to believe, this situation and all..." Teasing the hazel one.

"Th—this is your doing, not mine!" some redness to her face, breaking away.

This hilarious situation, that laughing maiden. Emotions within the girl, her quickly beating chest. Frowning at that one, yelling at her friend. Facing away, holding her arms. Her attention slightly to her left, dissatisfaction from her. Tormenting this one at times, pressing many buttons. Witnessing countless adorable scenarios, riling up her companion. These blossoming feelings, those growing closer over the passing time. Their aligning hearts, relishing in the presence of one another. Walking up to the girl, a hand on her shoulder. Refusing this, Elina hitting it away. This person frustratingly moving ahead, her hasty heart.

"Okay-okay, I am sorry haha." Isa racing after her.

"Hmph! Jerk..." Closing her eyes, folding her arms.

Unable to resist at times, this one with her. Teaching her much, bringing her into a simple life. Niceness in it, embracing in this. Difficulty at first, steadily adjusting. Finding her own way, holding onto these feelings. Apologizing to her friend, that one not listening. Some passing time, this innocent individual not calming. Dropping off some supplies at a store, completing another task. These many jobs, that maiden witnessing them. One never stopping, constantly moving onto the next. Admiring this, a person continuously doing her best. Two residing in front of the establishment, that girl folding her arms, looking away in dissatisfaction.

"Alright, how can I make it up to you?" Isa’s hand behind her head.

"Hmm..."

This firm one, not speaking to her friend. Those emotions inside of her, the maiden stirring it. Pressing her buttons, bringing out responses. Some deeper than others, that beating within. Trying to calm her, this girl ignoring her. Going a bit too far, her awareness in this. Wanting to make it up to her, a pattern in this. Little problems, their close bond. Flowing streams, those breaking away from the rest. Heading out with one another, determining their own course. That hazel individual thinking for a bit, an idea coming to her mind. Her vision on her friend, holding her hands behind her back.

"You have to volunteer to be my guard more often. If you do, I will let that incident slide." Brightly smiling.

"Well...there goes my days off..." The sighing young woman.

"Hehe." That giggling girl.

Ordinary days, two sides of her life. One away from home, another with this one. Adjusting her schedule, creating more time for each other. Relaxing at times, that innocent one dragging her out. This blissful day, two relishing in its brilliance. Walking up to the side of the maiden, looping her arm around their own. Leading them onward, two chatting away the time. Heading to the next place on the list, completing a few more tasks. A topic coming up, one catching the interest of Elina. Those two stopping by an alley, taking some time for one another.

"What happens in the church by the way? Been curious for a while. You know, the more deeper stuff." Her index finger pressing against her cheek.

"Cannot say for sure, my ranking is high, but not that high." Isa scratching the back of her head.

"It just has me thinking you know, why be so secretive?" looking away.

"You do have a point. Though, it is the faith everyone has that keeps things going." That young woman looking to the sky.

"Right..." Elina faintly smiling, her vision above.

Mysteries inside of a church, those wondering on it. Differences in ranking, few having access to sensitive information. Thinking on this, strangeness in it. A place relying on faith, information away from the public. Possibility of other matters, that partner bringing something to her attention. Movements in the shadows, her ear picking this up. Breaking away from her friend, facing behind. Bandits stepping out of the alley, this surprising the girl. Moving back a bit, enemies surrounding them. Sternness from the maiden, her sword afar. Those eyes on Elina, catching notice of this.

Connecting her path, linking a line towards her favor. Those rushing in, swiftness of the young woman. Colliding her blade into them, blood spilling far. Some splashing on the two, many falling. One grabbing her companion, her shrieking voice. Acting in this instance, reaching out her hand, grabbing the wrist of the person. Her cold glare, crushing down on them. This screaming person, crashing her fist into their stomach. That descending one, a case to report. Taking out her phone, contacting the church. Relaying information, shortly placing away her device. Facing the hazel individual, her hand on her waist.

"Those of the church will be here shortly."

"That was scary..." Some tears to her eyes, her hands to her chest.

"So long as I am here, you will be fine. And as I said, knowing your luck, you are likely to run into trouble." Teasing this azure one.

"Th—this does not count!" yelling at the maiden.

Laughing at this, that girl confronting her. Her hyper voice, the young woman riling her up. An opportunity coming, unable to pass it up. Her prediction this day, enemies attacking. Those going after her friend, protecting her. Danger around every end, worrying about her. Challenges of life, those residing in the shadows, pushing onward with their deeds. Their way to survive, not approving of it. Standing against it, harshly punishing them. This friend before her, continuing in her rant. Thinking for a bit, smiling at an idea. Moving behind the innocent one, gripping her wrists. Uneasily glancing back to the young woman, her trembling body. Raising her companion's hands a bit, leaning in, whispering into her ear.

"You can yell at me some more, or we can use this moment and go somewhere much nicer." Slyly smiling.

"Y—you...jerk!!!" screaming out, her red face, her hastily beating heart.

Simple feelings, these blissful days. Relishing in them, those pure emotions. A growing bond, their developing sentiments. One acting at times, invoking certain feelings. This adorable girl, unable to resist. Their close bond, two meeting underneath the light of the crimson moon. Innocence in a realm of misery, cherishing her. This one to her heart, a bit bold at times. Streaming waves, endlessly flowing along. Steadily moving ahead, paths crossing at times. Differences in individuals, yet this bringing them together, shaping the way forward.

How I used to love tormenting you, it brought out the most adorable reactions. Now...those times are gone. I cherished our days together, those memories forever being to my heart. Elina...I am coming, we will continue where we left off...
