====Chapter 42: Reunion====
When [[Elsword]], [[Raven]], [[Eve]], and [[Add]] return to [[Elysion]] with an unconscious [[Ain]], [[Solace]] and Hernia were expecting them and greeted them at the entrance. Hernia greats Elsword, it being the first time they met in person. [[Eve]] asked if they were already informed of their arrival, Hernia confirms it and notes that the would be able to heal Ain faster in Elysion. She explains that they will use one of the capsules to transfer pure El energy into him, she also notes that the process will require her concentration so she has to be left alone. Ain is left in her care as she goes off.
Placing Ain into the capsule she begins the exchange of El Energy. Ain in his unconscious state is relayed some of her memories but soon enough, Hernia manifests as herself within Ain's consciousness. Ain is confused by the situation, Hernia explains that he had sustained a great loss of El energy and that she is giving him part of her own pure El energy, though is appears some her her memories were carried along with it. Ain wonders if it was her which told him to forget himself, though this lends to Hernia speculation that currently, it is Ain's own will which is preventing him from awakening. Ain is confronted by manifestation of an Agent of the Goddess who brand him a defected traitor. Hernia realizes that these manifestation are of Ain's own doubts. As Ain was consumed by the doubts the manifestations placed on him, Hernia game to him and tells him the story of accepting her duties as the El Lady, making it her own instead of a path other imposed on her. She makes Ain realize he is beginning to see things from other peoples' perspectives, that he is beginning to think like a human. Beginning to accepts this, Ain is faced with the embodiment of his uncertainties in the form of [[Ishmael]] herself. He faces off against the image of his creator and asserts that he will walk his own path, even if it may not have been the one expected of him by the goddess and angels.
With that, he finally awakens to be greeted by the El Lady. Ain thanks Hernia but she notes he would likely have awoken eventually though she merely accelerated his awakening. She tells Ain that he is constantly evolving and his ability to maintain his current form is proof that he isn't just a tool of the El anymore. Hernia tells him that while she sometimes wonders if things would have been better if she had followed her duty to the end, but she sees the people around her now and walks the path forward not just as the El Lady, but as Hernia. She credits this change to the people around her, and asks if Ain was afraid of change much like she had been. He admits he is, but he is also confident he has the will to continue.
