~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~
~~~(Location: Desert, The Continent Of Alforza)~~~
~~~(Time: 1:44 AM)~~~
A few hours have passed, and I'm still flying above the caravan. My mind has been on a lot of things. Going between memories, goals, and problems. Sally has stopped trying to get ahold of me using messages. There isn't anything for me to do until we reach wherever we're being taken.
Giovanni complicated things since he started traveling with us. There were lots of subjects we weren't able to talk about in front of him.
It's nice having a fellow Player around. Someone that I can get along with. He's a pretty cool guy with a level head. There is someone that I want to talk to. My sister. Hailey was the first person to learn about my secrets.
If there is anyone in the world other than Sally that I could talk to this about, it's Hailey. I open my Player interface and see her name in my Friends List. Where she's at on Gaia, it's around 12:00 PM, and that means she's up.
[Mind if I talk to you about something?]
I could dance around and sound like a caring brother. But I'm not in the mood to do that right now. A conversation needs to be about me and me alone. I've got a lot of issues going on. I wait a couple of minutes, and I still haven't gotten a response.
Hailey might be trying to get me angry or frustrated by ignoring me. She could be in the middle of something important too. I couldn't know.
However, the message I sent says she's read it. I dismiss the screen and turn my thoughts to The Regeliance Kingdom. Hailey will get back to me when she gets back to me. In the meantime, I can distract myself with some postulating.
All of a sudden, I have a brilliant idea. While Xilo has been incredibly helpful in terms of information about where we're at and what happens in these lands. She doesn't know everything.
That doesn't mean I can't buy a Lore Scroll or Lore Book from the Auction House Tab in the Player Interface. Plenty of Players are from all over the world, and the Auction House sells pretty much everything. The chances are good it has something that I'd want.
Once again, I open my Player Interface and head to the Auction House Tab. Immediately, I see the top things being sold. It's pretty impressive, to say the least. While no one would give up something really good, they would if it no longer had any use to them.
There are great pieces of armor, weapons, and magic books being sold at Epic Grade quality. It's incredibly rare for something Legacy Grade and higher to be sold on the Auction House Tab.
The things I'm seeing right now are all for levels far lower than mine. It's basically people clearing out their old gear they don't need anymore and selling it to the Players and NPCs Turned Players that are weaker than them for a nice profit of Gold.
After typing in what I'm looking for in the search bar. I'm given a healthy list of a bunch of Lore Scrolls and Lore Books about The Regeliance Kingdom.
All of them are varying in price, but I know what I'm looking for. Lore Scrolls and Lore Books are valuable, but the best of them go for the highest prices. The best Players know that Lore is your best friend when searching for answers.
That means when they don't have a use for a Lore Scroll or Lore Book anymore. They'll be getting rid of it. It's not uncommon for Lore Scroll and Lore Books to have hidden requirements to actually unlock and read them.
When Players come across those, that's when they toss the Lore Scroll or Lore Book. It's impossible to know what it takes to unlock a Lore Scroll or Lore Book.
Before I can buy anything, I get a message back from my sister.
[Depends on what you want to talk about. Sally and I have been chatting the last few days, and I'm guessing I already know what you want to talk about. Look, it's not your fault. You were drugged.]
She thinks I'm talking about what happened between Sally, Xilo, and me.
[That's not what I want to talk about. It's about how I've manipulated things... Remember?]
I still remember when I told her about how I've changed the future by going back in time. She knew something was up before I even said anything to her. I still remember when I told her about how she got consumed by drugs and ended up getting Mom killed.
I haven't gotten a response back yet. She's with Marcus right now, and she's probably making sure that what we're about to talk about isn't seen by him.
[Yeah, that's not something I'd forget. Is there anything new you want to tell me? I know I don't have the whole story yet.]
I don't know how she'll react if I tell her that I'm probably from The Ancients World and I'm not really her brother. There is so much conflicting information, and it's something that I'm still trying to figure out. Hailey could help me do that.
[What do you remember about my birth?]
She was there in the hospital when I was born. She was old enough to remember too. I know there are photos of me and proof that I was born to the Adamo couple.
[What's this all about, Cera?]
It's definitely a strange question to ask out of nowhere. But I'm not sure I should bring her in on the truth yet.
[What do you remember, Hailey.]
This time, I don't make it a question. It's a demand. I don't get an immediate response. I don't know what she could be thinking about. Whatever it is, I have no doubt it confirms that I'm the Son of Violet and Chris Adamo.
As I'm waiting for a response, I look down, and the caravan is still there. Going at the same slow speed it's been going.
After another few minutes, I get a message back from Hailey.
[I don't really remember all that much, Cera... I was very young, and it's been a long time since then. That might be something you want to ask Mom and Dad about. They'll remember better than anyone. But since this is about... That... I can understand why you wouldn't.]
I don't know what I expected. Hailey was still incredibly young during that time. It makes sense she can't remember it. I don't want to get my parents involved in this.
[Why are you trying to learn any of this, Cera?]
I get another message from her, and this time it's pressing me for information. Since she doesn't have anything valuable to offer, I think it's best to leave her out of it. It'll make things easier for me with the less that people know.
As much help as Hailey could bring to the table. It's not the permanent solution to the problems I'm having here.
[Don't worry about it, sis. Tell Marcus I said hi.]
I shut off the Friends List and turn off notifications from Hailey. She's going to try to get ahold of me, but that's all I'm going to talk to her about.
But her suggestion to ask Mom and Dad about it isn't a bad idea. I could just hide the reason why I'm asking this. But Mom would surely want to know the real reason. She knows me, and it's hard to get things past her.
And if they do have something to hide, I'll be tipping them off in the process by asking them. It's best not to ask them.
"Back to square fucking one..."
It is frustrating. Not knowing something so important about yourself.
