~~~(POV: Saliandra Orvello)~~~

~~~(Location: Airship Port, Capital City of Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 12:54 PM)~~~

The Elven woman that’s become my friend is named Eliza Bleeds, and she’s on her tier-up quest since she’s recently become a Player. The Airship we’re taking is supposed to show up in a few more minutes, and we’ve just been talking. “I never would’ve figured that you’re Saliandra Orvello. The lover of Slayer Zern.” My popularity has risen too.

People have found out that Saliandra Orvello is with Slayer Zern, and I don’t know what to think about that. “Yeah… Slayer Zern and I first met when he stayed at the Inn I was working at… He offered to take me with him, and I took a leap of faith…” It was hard getting over my fear that day, but I’m glad that I gave it a chance. My life has become too much better.

Eliza leans back on the bench we’re sitting at and lets out a content sigh with a smile on her face. “You’re a lucky woman, Sally. Sometimes, I wish I could find my prince charming in the most random place and time. It’s like a love story. Boy finds girl. The boy asks the girl to come with him. They take off on a grand adventure.” She’s not wrong about that.

One thing I’m going to find extra difficult is calling Cera by his Player name. Slayer Zern. I’ve gotten so used to calling him Cera that’s it’s going to be a hard habit to break. “If there is someone for me, Eliza. There is one for you. You don’t have the same past as me, and it’ll be easier to find someone you love.” She’s shared some of her stories with me.

Eliza comes from a normal Elven family in a remote farming town in The Elven Kingdom. She grew up as a normal girl. “Just the little bit you’ve shared with me, Sally… I’ll say Slayer Zern has a lot of character. Most men wouldn’t give you a chance do to what happened to you, and that’s no fault of yours.” She’s right about that. Cera is special, and I couldn’t see another man doing that with me.

Giving me a chance and see past all the bad things that have happened to me. Showing me what love and life is… It hurts to be away from him right now, but we all have things to handle. When I’m done with the tier-up quests I have, I still have to track down my father. The one I didn’t know I had. That’s going to be an interesting visit.

That’s if I can even find him, but I doubt it’ll be simple. Nothing you think is. “What about you, Eliza? have you ever experienced love before?” She takes a minute to gather an answer, and by how long she’s taking, I can tell she’s having a hard time finding an answer to that. Before she can give an answer, the Airship shows up, and everyone waiting boards.

We find a nice place on the deck with some sunbathing chairs, and we lay down. My stop is before hers, but that’s tomorrow. That gives us time to talk and hang out. I’m wondering what Abble looks like. “Love… That’s something I wouldn’t know… My parents loved me, and I love them. But I don’t know what it means to love a man.” That’s all I need to hear.

It’s hard finding that one, and both men and women get discouraged from people who lie, cheat, and run away. “Mind telling a story about one of your adventures with Slayer Zern? Now that I know you’ve been with him for so long, I can’t help wondering what you two might’ve done.” That’s fair, and I don’t blame her curiosity.

If our roles were reversed, I’d love to know what those potential stories are. “Okay, I think one of the first things we did is a good starting point.” Cera and I have been through a lot, and we have a lot of stories. And I think there is enough time for most of them. Eliza has been a very compassionate person and a friend since I’ve met her. She’s like a sister I never had.

~~~(POV: Violet Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Running towards Deadore, Open Roads of The Kingdom of Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 1:34 PM)~~~

I look to my left for the 14th time and see again that Christian isn’t here beside me. I look to my right, and Marcus isn’t here either. I haven’t gotten close to being alone, and this is going to be the hardest thing I’ve done since giving birth. “Try and think about something else, Violet… Get your mind off them…” If I think about them the entire time that I’m alone.

I’ll lose my freaking mind. So, thinking about my tier-up quest is better. I’m heading to Deadore to get the actual quest and figure out what I’m doing. I’m hoping and praying that it’s an easy one, that way, I can be finished and meet up with someone once they’re done with theirs. My thoughts drift to my youngest, and I worry about Marcus.

While My youngest child is very powerful and can take on anyone, that doesn’t stop me from worrying about anything that might happen to him. I hate the thought of him dying, even though he’ll respawn. I hate it. Everyone is probably laser-focused right now… Me being the only one dwelling on things I shouldn’t worry about.

My family will be fine. It’s me I have to worry about. This is a chance to figure out who I am outside of my husband and children. Cause I don’t know who Violet Adamo is outside of the people I’ve centered my world around. “It’s never good to live and die for just your family. Without an individual purpose, you’re a shell.” That’s something I heard Cera say to Hailey once.

Cera knows far more than he should about life and about how hard it is. It’s made me worry that he’s hiding some very deep issues that he hasn’t told anyone about. “That’s the pot calling the kettle black…” I have a habit of doing that, but I’m quick to lash out. He holds it in and buries it, and that’s not good. It could place terrible burdens on him.

I land on the ground and stop jumping tree to tree, and burst forward on the ground. I’ve covered some ground, but it’s going to take me about a day and a half to reach Deadore, according to my Player Map and Marker on my HUD. “Hopefully, everyone else is making better time than me, but I doubt it.” Hailey and Jasmine have the ones furthest away at the moment.

Once Cera starts his tier-up quest, who knows where he’ll have to go. I clear my head and focus on myself. Trying to get out of the habit of thinking about my family. “Okay, Violet. What do you like to do when you have time to yourself…” Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zero. I’m not getting anything to this question, and it goes to show how I need this time by myself.

~~~(POV: Marcus Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Walking towards Helios, Open Roads of The Kingdom of Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 2:41 PM)~~~

I can’t help being so freaking excited to be on my own for a change!! No mom and dad constantly telling me what I can and can’t do! I get to have my own adventure and enjoy making my own decisions! “I’m never going to forget this trip for the rest of my life!” But I can’t get complacent. Cera said since I hold a Legendary Class, I’ll have a very complex and difficult tier-up quest.

My Class is a magic one, and fire is my primary attack. My only attacks. People who know who I am, call me Pheonix, like mom and dad. Or some of the friends that we made. Since that’s the name of my Class. “I need to take after my brother… Think about this strategically…” That’s what I should do cause it works. That’s how you win.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N: Below this line, I’ll be keeping Cera’s player information. That way, I won’t have to place it into the story above anymore. It takes about 180 words up.
