~~~(POV: Hailey Adamo)~~~
~~~(Location: The Road of Marbode, Southern Brazilian Continent)~~~
~~~(Time: 9:14 AM)~~~
Last Night I didn\'t get a wink of sleep, and now I\'m still not even close to my destination. And I\'m nearly to the point where I don\'t care how I get there. I could use my speed, but that\'s a double-edged blade.
Once I reach where I\'m going, I\'ll be exhausted from having to maintain that speed for so long. So I\'ve been using this miserable time to myself to think of a plan about how I\'m going to kill this King...
I can\'t even pronounce his name or the name of The Kingdom I\'m currently in... However, my power and the average guard or soldier aren\'t comparable.
I\'m a Legendary Grade Class holder and every bit as powerful as 500,000 soldiers. Players and NPCs Turned Players are a different problem altogether. I don\'t have the slightest clue how many this King employs and their average power.
I have quality on my side, and that goes a long way. But I don\'t have quantities. I\'m a single person, and one lone Player can\'t win against 1000 of the same level and tier. The number would eventually overwhelm anyone.
My brother is the exception since he has a multitude of abilities and skills that\'ll prevent any conventional defeat by numbers. Sadly, I don\'t have the same luxury.
"I won\'t know anything until I see what I\'m up against..."
The planning phases of these incredible tasks aren\'t my favorite things in the world, but they\'re a necessary hurdle to overcome.
Cera knows so much more than anyone else in the world... Having knowledge of the future gives him a distinct advantage. Having knowledge of the important things in this world makes him nearly invincible.
I wouldn\'t know what to do with such knowledge... But what I do know is I\'m not wise enough to know how to use it the best way I can... And neither was Cera, but that wasn\'t his fault...
Why I\'m thinking this?
It\'s because I\'m not the strategist or tactician my brother is... And Knowing him, he\'d say those are two different things, and they are...
But I need to try and evolve my repertoire of skills... And not just ones from the system and Battlemind. I need to learn how to use my mind and do things better than I have. I haven\'t made the best choices when it comes to quests and how I approach them.
My brother would head into things only when he knew everything he needed to know, and sometimes he\'d risk it and not do that...
"Mom and Dad would say that I\'m fine the way I am... And they\'d try to reassure me that I don\'t need to change anything about how I\'m doing things... But they\'re wrong... If you fail to change, you end up perishing..."
It\'s a simple fact of life, and I\'m not going to lose everything I\'ve worked toward since I got here.
Out of nowhere, I get a message from someone I wasn\'t expecting a message from. Not now, at least. Cera has contacted me, and it reminds me that I need to tell him what Angelus told me.
The message pops up, and I start reading.
[You\'ve already brought me up to speed with everything you\'re doing the last time we talked. But I wanted you to know that even after what happened. I still want you to contact me. I told you that I forgive you, and I don\'t like being the only one reaching out.]
This isn\'t what I expected when I opened the message, but it\'s nice to hear it. I won\'t lie. I figured my brother was still mad at me and hadn\'t truly forgiven me. But this solidifies it. He has forgiven me, which means more than I\'d admit.
But I need to tell him, and ripping the bandaid off fast is the best way to do it.
[I had a run-in with Angelus... She told me that you have a destiny... And that I\'m the one that\'s supposed to guide you on it... I\'ve figured that telling you is the best way to help you...]
As I hit send, I can\'t help feeling that\'ll make Cera even madder at me. But it\'ll be something I have to live with.
And a couple of minutes later, I get a message back. And my blood runs cold...
[I figured there was some plan regarding me out there... But I didn\'t realize you\'d be dragged into it, and for that, I\'m sorry... I\'ve come to learn many things, and I\'ve kept things from you... Things I didn\'t tell you when I told you why I\'m the way I am now...]
So there is more to the story... But to my irritation, I receive no more messages after this one. And I\'m going to dig into this. How can I help him if I don\'t know what he knows?
[Don\'t stop there! You\'re leaving me with a cliffhanger here, and I don\'t want to miss out on anything that could help me help you!]
But all I get is nothing, and I find myself the one getting angry.
"How am I supposed to be the supposed guide if I don\'t know what you know!!? Dumbass!!"
All I can do is yell out in anger, and it subsides as fast as it comes... It wasn\'t what I was expecting. Me becoming the one that gets mad. But maybe this was the better outcome.
"I don\'t know what I\'m going to do about you... But I can\'t be focusing on you right now... I have my own things to worry about and quests to complete."
My brother will have to wait, and this leaves me with my thoughts on how I\'m going to kill a King again. Running around in circles. Always come back to this spot.
~~~(POV: Saliandra Orvello)~~~
~~~(Location: City of Yordase, The Empire of Lormodies)~~~
~~~(Time: 1:34 PM)~~~
p
It looks like anyone involved in The Sex Slave Trade isn\'t here, and nothing more than guards are in the place... It pisses me off... I can\'t hide that. I wish whoever was in charge would show up for just a second. But no one besides officials and guards has been in the area.
It might come down to me having to find an agent for Regelia if she\'s the one in charge around here... If only I knew more fucking information!! I wouldn\'t be in this position of knowing nearly nothing except for a name!!
"What can I do to improve my odds... Think, Sally... You know this business too... You were once a Slave..."
The gears in my head are already turning, and there aren\'t any great ideas. The best one I\'ve had is my original to follow the shipment of Sex Slaves to whoever is in charge. And that\'s the best I\'ve got at the moment.
~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~
~~~(Location: Capital City Zenith, The Kingdom of Zenith)~~~
~~~(Time: 2:45 PM)~~~
Amelia cried her eyes out when I left, and it\'s haunting me a little. But not more than what Hailey told me. Angelus isn\'t someone I\'ve talked to in a long time, and now she\'s involving my family in her schemes.
Whatever this great destiny is, I don\'t like that the ones I love are the ones getting sucked into the middle of this mess.
"What am I going to do..."
What I should be focusing on is finding Kris Martim, but I can\'t help worrying that I\'ll end up losing my entire family again. The consequences of my choices are affecting my loved ones now, and I can\'t do anything about it.

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.
