~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: The City Of Jaerey, The Kingdom Of Laasir, The Islands Of Haestar)~~~

~~~(Time: 7:41 PM)~~~

Everyone that's entering The Ruins Of Tasdir is heading for bed. It's supposed to be a multi-day event. My siblings and their companions have an early entry compared to everyone else. Hailey won the tournament, which has allowed this.

Sally is in the bathroom, enjoying a hot bath with some magical water to help massage and relax. I've thought about joining, but I'm not in the mood for a bath.

Mom and Dad haven't gotten back to me. I've sent them a couple of messages. It's starting to worry me a little. I'd think Dad would take some time before getting back to me, but Mom is always quick.

It's been a few hours now. It's out of character for her to miss any messages from her kids. I'll talk to Hailey about it after she finishes The Ruins Of Tasdir. It'll take them a couple of days inside the place, even with Hailey and Marcus carrying most of the work.

That leaves Sally and I to our own devices. There is something I'd like to do with her while my siblings are busy. 

The real question is if she's up for it. It's nothing dangerous outside Jaerey. It has something to do with the local Auction House. I'll want to visit it and check out its new feature. Sally might find it fun too.

"Are you joining me in here or not?"

Speaking of Sally, her voice comes from the direction of the bathroom. I make my way over and enter. Seeing her in the large tub already. She smiles as I sit on the tub's edge and look at her. The bubbles cover most of her.

"I'm not a bath guy unless it's the only option we've got. Besides, you look like you need a bath."

The slight mock at the end of my answer makes her roll her eyes. She splashes me with some water in retaliation. It's nothing big. A sigh of content leaves my lips, and I roll my neck. Multiple pops echo through the bathroom.

"Are you sure you don't want to join me?"

Now that I'm thinking about it, I could use something to ease the tension in my body too. It only takes a second to get all my gear unequipped. I enter the tub and sit next to her. She leans her head on my shoulder.

What we're doing tomorrow is important, and I'd like to talk with it about her. 

"I was thinking while everyone is busy with The Ruins Of Tasdir, we can head to the Auction House."

She lifts her head slightly and waits for a better explanation. 

"We can get the armor that we need from there. We'll have to stop by the bank first to withdraw some gold. Anything worth its price is gonna cost a lot."

Sally is different from other girls in the strange fact she doesn't like shopping. It's something she's not excited, entertained, or attracted to. I can sum it up to her past, but that's how it is for her.

"Is that the only reason we're going..."

There is a hopeful energy to her reason. Yes, there is another reason for going there. A new function to the Auction House.

"Yeah, but I want to keep it a surprise. It's something that a lot of Players loved after it was added into The Ancients World in the past."

A smile of excitement spreads across her lips, and she moves onto my lap. Wrapping her arms around my neck and locking her lips with mine.

"Well, then. Tomorrow can't get here fast enough, can it..."

Let's enjoy the night we've got.

~~~(POV: Hailey Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: The City Of Jaerey, The Kingdom Of Laasir, The Islands Of Haestar)~~~

~~~(Time: 8:06 PM)~~~

Marcus is in Kelly's room, and that leaves me all alone. I thought about bothering Rianna and doing something, but she was already asleep in her room. She wasn't happy when I accidentally woke her up.

Cera and Sally won't answer any of my messages at the moment, and I can guess what they're doing. Not like I wouldn't either if I had someone to do it with.

My thoughts drift to tomorrow and how everything will go. Cera's information is always helpful, and he's given us everything we need to succeed. I just don't know if Kelly and Rianna have it in them to go all the way.

It'll be the hardest challenge they've ever undertaken, and it's not like there are a lot of ways to do this outside the guidelines Cera has given me.

Rianna has grown a lot in strength, confidence, and pride. I'm glad to see she's so willing to do it no matter what. But when energy levels get low, it starts looking good to quit.

"If I could, I'd have Cera help us in the actual activity..."

The words leave my lips with no one to hear them. Cera can't join us in our assault on The Ruins Of Tasdir. Since he didn't participate in the tryouts or tournament, that makes it impossible to join us.

The system has made it clear that no one outside those parameters can participate. Angelus is the AI that has turned into a God of this world. I've been thinking a lot about what she said to me a long time ago.

How I'd be the one to guide Cera on his journey. I still don't know what that really means. It's hard to comprehend the plans and plots of those that are Gods in this world. They know the future from everything I understand.

In the world, Cera is the grandson of The Almighty Father. Meaning his place in the power structure is very high, which is why there is a lot I want to talk with him alone about.

I want to know what he plans for the coming dangers.

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

~~~(Location: The City Of Jaerey, The Kingdom Of Laasir, The Islands Of Haestar)~~~

~~~(Time: 9:14 PM)~~~

My body is shivering from the pleasure... We moved our fun from the bath to the bed. Cera lies next to me and looks at the ceiling. His own release and pleasure were in tandem with mine. We do this more and more often these days.

I scoot across the bed and cuddle as close as I can. His arm snakes around my back, and his hand grabs a handful of my butt.

An echo of pleasure follows the feeling.

"That was great... And I'm drained... Adjusting to the time difference between Alforza and here has me wiped out..."

The words leave my lips with satisfaction and relaxation. It's nice to be in the arms of the man you love with no worries in the world.

"Let's get some sleep. After tonight, we should be adjusted back to the time in this area of Gaia. Besides, we'll want to get up early to see our friends off before they head into The Ruins Of Tasdir."

He's right about that.

"I want to talk to you about something before we go to bed."

It's something I've been thinking about for a long time, and I know that it could change things between us. But I can't keep waiting.

"Ask away."

My heart begins to race, and my palms get sweaty.

"Will we get married at some point in the future?"

Instead of becoming stiff or awkward, he laughs a little. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

"We've got our entire lives ahead of us, Sally... But I get where you're coming from. I'll tell you what, once I find out the truth about me. What my destiny in this world is. We can get married. Until then, it might be premature."

Cause he could die...

Messing with the powers of Gods and entities of that level could result in permanent death for a being of immortality like Cera.

"Okay."

It's not the answer I was wanting. But it's one I'll accept. I know where he's coming from too. He doesn't want to marry me and then die in whatever's in store for him.

I don't know what I'd do if he died...

Forever...
