BXBX NOVEL Chapter 486 Night Flying
~~~(Location: Flying, Within The Kingdom of Salamanders Borders)~~~
~~~(Time: 7:55 PM)~~~
The battle that I watched for entertainment didn\'t last for very long, but it was still a good show. Why two noble houses would fight like that is beyond me. My best guess is for land.
It\'s not possible to know at the moment, and I doubt I ever will. I\'m getting closer to The Fairy Kingdom, but I won\'t be there until around 10 PM. Making great time is one of the better advantages of flying.
It\'ll be interesting to see The Fairy Kingdom once again. From what I\'ve heard over my travels, it\'s moved again and is now a true Kingdom on its own. Speaking of The Fairies, I can\'t help thinking about The Dryad people I freed from their curse.
I haven\'t heard much from any of them either, but that\'s understandable. Coming out of a curse that lasted hundreds of years means you have a lot of catching up to do.
It wouldn\'t be a bad idea to visit The Dryads one of these days. I\'m visiting The Fairies, and if Kris Martim isn\'t in The Fairy Kingdom, then that means he\'s located near Zenith.Â
But visiting The Dryads will have come after I\'m done with everything I have to do and helping Sally find her father. I know for a fact that Sally would love to visit The Dryads with me, and I\'m looking forward to asking what we\'re doing next after we\'re done with everything.
When we find Sally\'s father and deal with that, we\'ll have finished everything we\'ve set out to do, and it\'ll be time to start another adventure. We could always start that war on slavery, but that\'s already happening.
After Helda became Queen of The Elven Kingdom, she started a proactive attack on slavers. And pretty much all Kingdoms are backing her.
Meaning Sally and I can start a new adventure. One that we want to do together and not out of necessity for getting stronger or progressing our quests. It\'ll be something that we haven\'t gotten to do yet.
Sally might be having the same thoughts as me. She\'s probably thinking of ideas on what to do next. I haven\'t gotten a clue as to what we can do. There are some things that I\'d like to go after. Items and gear that I remember from my past life.
"That\'ll be fun... Going back to my roots as a gamer... Thinking this was just a game... Maybe it could be fun..."
That\'s a pipe dream... There is no way in heaven or hell where I can treat this world as a game. It\'s humanity\'s new home. Earth is gone, and all of humanity\'s problems have been left behind with it.
I do miss some of Earth... There are things that we had there that we can\'t have here.
That\'s enough talk about that. There is something that I need to do in Zenith even if I find Kris Martim in The Fairy Kingdom. Amelia and I haven\'t talked in a long time, and it\'s only right that I visit her. If she\'s become a Player, then I can add her to my friend\'s list.
<br/>I still don\'t know how I\'m going to explain my mom to Amelia or Amelia to my mom. Keeping them apart and unaware of each other seems like the smartest thing to do. But spinning a large enough web of lies and a simple breeze can break it apart.
"I wonder how Zenith Kingdom is doing these days anyway... They got all that new land from Bellvia, and now they\'re probably expanding. Soon, they\'ll be big enough to call themselves an Empire."
Amelia is an important figure in the lands of Gaia. She\'s regarded as a Saint by The Church, and people worship the ground she walks since she gave \'birth\' to me. The mother of an Angel means a lot. She\'s the first one to ever do it.
According to everyone in Gaia anyway. There are secrets about the origins of my Divine Class that even I don\'t know at the moment. It\'s hard to say where any of that leads...
~~~(POV: Amelia Zern)~~~
~~~(Location: Mansion, Near Capital City Zenith)~~~
~~~(Time: 8:24 PM)~~~
"Lady Zern... You know that it\'s time to stop working for the day. You\'ve been going all day every day since you were tasked with developing the land that was acquired in our war."
My butler is right... It\'s almost 8:30... I need to stop working...
"Yeah... Can you get me some tea and cakes? I need something to unwind..."
He smiles and swiftly leaves the room. I stand up from my desk and make my way to the balcony. As I exit, the sun is starting to set, and it\'s my favorite time of year. The days are longer, and it\'s warmer at night.
As I sit down on the soft and comfortable chair, I can\'t help feeling my age now. I\'m no old woman, but I\'m not in my late 20\'s or early 30\'s anymore. I\'m approaching 40, and all this work isn\'t good for my appearance.
The compliments about how young I look are helpful, but I fear that won\'t last for long at this rate. Another person has been on my mind, and that\'s my son. Slayer Zern... I miss him every day, and I haven\'t heard back from him.
I\'ve become a Player in hopes that he visits me one day, and we can speak using the system any time either of us wants to.Â
The food cart\'s gentle rattle takes me from my thoughts, and my butler brings the food out to the balcony. He\'s brought many selections, but the tea is what smells the best to me right now.
"Lady Zern... I\'ve been your butler for some time now, and I know the look you have when you\'re thinking about your son... I won\'t pry, my Lady... But don\'t be too hurt over the lack of contact."
He always tries to make me feel better, and I appreciate that part about him.
"Wouldn\'t you worry about your child if he was off doing Almighty Father knows what... Getting into trouble and being hurt... Wouldn\'t you always be thinking about him?"Â
He smiles gently and pours me a cup of tea.
"That I would, Lady Zern..."
My attention turns to the setting sun as darkness slowly takes the world. My son is out there right now... Doing whatever he thinks needs done... Off on dangerous adventures...
"The King has invited you to the monthly meeting of the nobles? Will you be attending this month?"
Every noble is required to attend... Other than myself... I have many special treatments due to who I am.
"It\'s a few days from now, correct?"
He nods his head, and I release a sigh soon after.
"I suppose it would be appropriate of me to show up once in a while... I miss my life as a poor woman more than I should sometimes... But complaining of such things is unbecoming..."

~~~(Location: Flying, Within The Fairy Kingdoms Borders)~~~
~~~(Time: 9:18 PM)~~~
My map is telling me I\'m getting pretty close. A couple more minutes, and I\'m going to land and walk the rest of the way. Tomorrow is when I\'m going to start searching for the man I\'m after. Getting a night\'s rest will refresh me for tomorrow\'s annoyances.Â
The scenery has changed since crossing into the Fairy Kingdom. You can see the effect of the fairies on the environment. It\'s actually quite a beautiful change. More life and energy flow in these lands. I can only imagine what it looks like in the mornings when there is light.
