~~~(Location: Royal Airship, Traveling towards The Kingdom of Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 6:21 PM)~~~

Sally and I have been in our room all day and enjoying room service. We're supposed to be crossing the border of the Avalon Kingdom soon. Since we're in a Royal Airship, we'll not be stopped at any point in our trip to the Captial City Avalon. "I never get tired of this view..." Sally walks away from our spot on the couch and towards the window.

She's been enjoying the treatment we've received and is taking this downtime in full stride. "Yeah, I'm a little distracted since Hailey and Jasmine have already started their tier-up quests... They'll still meet us in the Avalon, but it'll be a short visit before they're on their way..." When I messaged mom the news, she was upset but understood.

All of us need to do our tier-up quests in Avalon, which means we'll all be splitting up. Even Marcus will have to go out on this own. I know he's ready, but I don't think mom is. "You need to stop thinking about that... When we get there, it'll be the last time either of us gets to be together for a while... All we'll have is messaging the system..." Sally makes a great point...

I stand up from the couch and walk up beside her. We stare out into the vast lands that are under us, and we break through the occasional cloud at the speed we're going. "You know that I'll be thinking about you when we're apart, right?" She looks up to me as my words reach her. "You don't need to worry about losing me. I'm not that kind of guy..." It's natural for women to feel insecure.

While it's not healthy to feel that way all the time, it comes and goes for all of them. Sally isn't an exception. "I know... And you don't have to worry about me, either... I'd never ever do that to you... I care about you and love you too much to even think about something like that..." Her voice is soft and confident. And I already knew that about her.

Sally isn't the type of girl that would ever do that to me. I'd never cheat on her, and she'd never cheat on me. It's not in our hearts, souls, or minds to do something like that. "When do you suppose we'll finally be together after our long time apart..." She's been asking me this frequently. I've given the same answer every time. Until we're done catching up on tier-up quests.

I wrap my arm around her shoulders, and she leans her head into me. I plant a couple of kisses on the top of her scalp and rest my cheek on her head. "You know the answer to that, and it's not changing... It's a sad reality that my tier-up quests will take the longest out of everyone... But that's due to my Class..." She closes her eyes as the sun lights the sky in an orange glow.

It's getting later in the day, and we're getting closer to The Kingdom of Avalon. I can tell because the border walls to its land are up ahead. They're the same size as The Elven Kingdoms, but they let people come and go as long as their Players or NPCs with reasons to be there. We pass over the wall, and I see lines of Players trying to get in. It's a long wait, apparently.

Sally leans forward a little, and she sees what I'm seeing too, and she can't help chuckling. "I guess that means we're finally in The Kingdom of Avalon... The Capital City Avalon is our final stop..." She's smiling as she says this, and I feel like her mood has improved. She's done a great deal of growth in our time together, and I've said this a lot, but I need to emphasize it.

She pulls away from me and heads towards the door to the room. My mom and her agreed to spend some time together, and that leaves me alone in this big room. I'd have spent some time with dad, but he's with Marcus right now, and I'll not ruin that father-son moment. There are a lot of things on my mind, and most of them have to do with what I'm up against here.

The tier-up quests are a mystery to me. Blue Chaos never spoke of them and chose to keep those experiences out of his forum posts. "One of the most important things, and you decided to leave it out... Talk about coming back to bite me..." I think about Blue Chaos from time to time. He's not alive. He was dusted like everyone else that didn't have an Ancients World character.

I've also been looking around the player auction, and there are personalized bounties out from the remains of the World Government for any information regarding the leaders of the company who caused all this. "I was wondering if you'd be here alone." I turn towards the door and see dad along with Marcus. I can guess this is an invitation to join them, even though I already said no.

Marcus bursts into the room and heads for the window to check out the view that Sally and I have enjoyed. Dad walks up to me and swings his arm around my shoulders, and drags me to the window too. "You know, it's been many years since it was just us boys. I wanted to see if we can all spend some time playing our favorite game." That'd be impossible.

As fun as childhood frisbee was, that doesn't exist anymore. Not here on Gaia. "Listen, dad. That sounds fun and a good time and all, but we don't have a frisbee, and we certainly don't know how to make one." He only smiles at me as he pulls on out of his Inventory. I don't really know what to say... Where the hell did he ever get one?

He hands it to Marcus, and we leave the room. There is a massive activity center in the Royal Airship, and that's where we're heading. "When your mom, Marcus, and I were at a coast, there were Players selling frisbees for the beach. I took the chance to buy one, and I've been hanging on to it ever since." Wow... They went to the coast of this continent... That's a place I've only seen in pictures.

~~~(Time: 6:39 PM)~~~

The hot water soaks into my body, and magical water takes away any stress. Helping any parts of my body that are aching and swelling. My eyes slowly open, and I see Violet on the opposite end, gently looking towards me. "We never got to talk about the life that you had lived long before you met Cera..." When she puts it like that, she makes me sound old...

There are a number of things I can start with, and each of them would warrant a different reaction. But given that I know that my birth father is alive, things have changed for me a bit. "I suppose I should start at the times before I was born, huh..." Violet makes her way over to me and takes a seat next to me. She's a very beautiful woman, and I can see where Hailey and Cera get their looks.

She has been compassionate towards me... Doing her best to be gentle... Something Cera did for me when we first started traveling together. This is who he learned is from. "Listen, I'm not going to force you to talk about it... But when you are really to share with me, I'll be waiting..." She wraps her arms around me and hugs me. She's what a mother should be.
