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

~~~(Location: The Jungles of Nae'mor, The City of Armezix, The Continent of Alforza)~~~

~~~(Time: 12:58 PM)~~~

Jaeemara has been talking to her parents for the past 15 minutes, and Sally is sitting next to me as we relax on one of the many sofas. We're no longer in what can be considered a throne room. But a more private part of the massive structure.

What I did to convince Eldinemara to let Jaeemara and Pazemad live their lives in peace could be considered unnecessary, but now they're truly free. No longer do this have to be afraid of Eldinemara. I've fulfilled my favor to them.

"You know, it'll probably be a bit awkward traveling with her after this... Do you think she'll be upset with you?"

Sally has been thinking about Jaeemara with a question like that. I think everything will be fine. Jaeemara said she was prepared to let me do anything to free her family.

Jaeemara has gotten everything she's asked of me. If anything, she'd probably be thankful for it. But I'm not a mind reader. So I shouldn't assume how she'll feel about how I helped her. It was fun. I'll admit that. Breaking down prideful people is a great feeling.

Does that make me some sort of twisted prideful person?

"No, I don't think she'll be upset about anything. She's talking with her parents now. And from the looks of it, her siblings want a word with her too. It's a nice sight. Seeing a family coming together after being broken apart."

It's not something you see every day. A family trying to rebuild. After a couple of seconds, I feel Sally's hand find its way into mine. I look at her, and she has her signature amazing smile. She doesn't know how dangerous her beauty can be.

She's a princess of an entire Kingdom and people. While she'd renounce and deny it for the rest of her life. That's what she is. A princess. And a beautiful one at that.

"Where are we going anyway? Are we just heading deeper into Armezix for the fun of it, or is there something of value there? I'm fine with either."

I can tell from that question she's not used to the whole idea of doing things that are fun. Not required by quests. We're here to go on adventures. That's exactly what we're doing.

"In my mind, it's for the fun of it. But I wouldn't be surprised if we found ourselves having an adventure. The downside is Armezix probably knows Angel Zern is in town."

Armezix is massive, and even a 500-mile-wide announcement about my Divine Title being activated wouldn't reach everyone. But word of mouth or by system messaging has probably spread it all over Armezix by now.

I don't want to deal with anyone that knows who I am, but it might be unavoidable.

"Can I ask you something that isn't related to anything we're talking about?"

Sally suddenly interrupts my thoughts and changes the subject. I look at her, a little confused. But I nod my head. She looks toward Jaeemara and her parents. Taking a slow breath to gather her thoughts and words.

"Does it bother you... Someone saying you don't deserve your power... Given what you've told me about your past, I can't help thinking that what Daella said might get to you..."

I didn't react to it in the moment, and in truth. It doesn't bother me. Blue Chaos was the original owner of my Divine Class. And I've taken that destiny for myself. You could argue I don't deserve it but in my mind. It's mine now, and that's not changing.historical

There aren't many things I could say now that would ease Sally's mind. She wouldn't ask this if it wasn't bothering her a little bit.

"No, it doesn't bother me. It's mine, Sally. If people don't think I should have it, that's what they feel. It's not my responsibility to ease that feeling. I did what I knew would work, and that scared Daella. Most people don't have that conviction."

Doing what needs to be done or would work isn't something a lot of people can do. Cause most of the time, that solution isn't one that can be considered just, humane, or a wide assortment of adjectives.

"It bothered me when she said that... Is that bad..."

Depends on how it bothered you.

"That depends on how it bothered you, Sally. Did it make you feel like what she said was right? Or do you think what she said was wrong? Is it something else that bothered you about what she said?"

There are a lot of answers she could give, and I can say that she knows her answer just by looking at her. But she's afraid to tell me, which would mean that she agrees with Daella on some level. Does that bother me?

No.

What Sally feels about how I got my Divine Class isn't something that bothers me. You're allowed to feel any way about something in your partner's life. That's the beauty of being free.

"I'm bothered that I understand why she said it... Seeing you throw around your power like that... It scares me... It makes me think that you're truly capable of anything... No matter who it is... Doesn't that scare you..."

The power to do anything doesn't exist. That's an illusion for people who have been weak their entire lives. They dream of power like that. Falsely seeing it placed in others.

"I'm not scared of my power, Sally. I'll never be scared of my power. And there is no such thing as doing anything you want. No one has that kind of power. It's a trap to think like that."

My words seem to have polarizing effects on her. She sees the truth in my words, and how they apply to me, but it doesn't stop her fear.

"If you ever start to abuse your power... Do you want me to tell you..."

Abuse my power, huh... What would be the limits of abusing my power? Is it proof that I'm abusing that power if I have to ask that question?

"What can even be considered abusing, Sally? I've taken life, forced outcomes with my choices, and influenced entire races. Is that abuse?"

She's quiet as I finish talking. And she doesn't speak anymore after that. About an hour passes, and Jaeemara makes her way over to us. And she feels the weird tension between Sally and me.

I stand up and look at the woman who will be our guide. Her hand comes toward me and waits for me to grab it. I do so, and we shake.

"Thanks to you, my husband and children are free from my Father. And that means I'm free to be your guide."

~~~(Time: 2:49 PM)~~~

We've been following Jaeemara for almost an hour now, and I've kept my eyes locked on Cera. Mainly I've been thinking about what he's said to me and how much I've learned about what goes on in Cera's head.

"Do you guys want to stop off for something to eat!? There are some pretty good restaurants up ahead!!"

Jaeemara makes sure her voice is loud enough for both of us to hear. I think some food would do me some good. It'd get my mind off what Cera said.

What he said isn't what bothered me. It's how he said it. He's spent a lot of time rationalizing actions in his head. He's contemplated consequences for things that he can and could do.

"I'm pretty hungry! Take us to wherever you think would be good!"

Cera answers for both of us, and Jaeemara starts to slow down, and we follow suit. I clear my head of the thoughts filling it, and I decide that I can think about that stuff another time. I should enjoy the time I'm having. Not worrying about Cera.
