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

,m ~~~(Location: Walking around Yordase, The Empire of Larmodies)~~~

~~~(Time: 5:18 PM)~~~

All I\'ve been doing since I got here is look around and familiarize myself with where I\'m at. The city is very large and a little difficult to navigate. But I\'ve learned a few valuable bits of information in my sculking about.

One of those valuable pieces of information is a large supply shipment for the city is coming tomorrow night. And it\'s food for Yordase, but I\'m willing to bet big money I\'ll find what I\'m looking for.

If a shipment that large is coming to Yordase, then it\'s obvious they\'ll be moving a bunch of captured women into the city. All I have to do is follow it when I find it, and it\'ll lead me straight to Regelia.

Now the next thing I learned is there are several places all over Yordase where criminals go to hang out. There is a small problem with that. It\'s a tight community.

They\'ll see me sticking out like a green apple in a basket full of red apples. Once I\'m discovered, I can kiss any chances of finding Regelia goodbye.

While Cera would continue digging for more information wherever he could find it, I don\'t know what else to do in such an unfamiliar environment. Walking around and observing is the best thing I can even do at the moment.

But people need to rest, and that includes me. For the first time in a long time, I\'m both physically and mentally tired.

And I\'ve set my sights on an Inn.

After entering my selected place to stay the night, I see the customers aren\'t as hectic as most Inns are at this time of day. Most people are getting out of their jobs, and they come to the nearest place to drink.

"What can I get for you, young lady?"

It\'s funny to be called that when I\'m older than everyone in this room. But when I look forever 21, it doesn\'t make a difference, I guess. The Innkeeper is a lovely woman, and I pay for my room. She gives me the key and shows me to the room.

I give my thanks and make my way to the private bathroom first. Unequping my armor and clothes. The hot shower is already on, and the magic water makes my body instantly relax as I step under the stream.

"I needed this..."

The stress of today is melting away, and I\'m turning into a jelly elf... There aren\'t enough times I get to do this, and I even get to indulge in magic soap.

As I finish my shower, I make it to my bed wrapped in my towel, and I plop down on the soft blankets. My head is clear, and my body is relaxed.

"Tomorrow will be a busy day, so I should enjoy this moment of peace while I can..."

That\'s something I learned on my own... That moments like these are few and far between... Doing this without my other half makes it all the more difficult. But you can\'t always have what you want. You have to make sacrifices and compromises.

My eyes are heavy, and the deep sleep that I need is slowly creeping on me. Lately, my nightmares have started to slowly fade away. I\'ve been reliving that prank Hailey pulled, and there are nights I don\'t want to close my eyes in fear of seeing it again.

But it\'s not going to happen tonight. I can feel it. I\'m not tense about everything, and I\'m not stressed from fear.

"I hope that you sleep as good as I will tonight, Cera..."

After a few minutes, my towel finds its way off, and I\'m under the blankets. My final thoughts before sleep are of my Dad and what he might look like... There are so many things I want to ask him, and it\'s going to be a day I\'ll never forget when I meet him.

"Don\'t worry, Dad... I\'m close behind, and I can\'t wait to meet you..."

Mom is up in Overworld watching now... And I hope that she sees everything I\'m doing... To know that I\'m living a life that I never thought I\'d have... One of freedom, love, and happiness... If only she could\'ve had that with me...

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

~~~(Location: Tent near The Road of Marbode, Southern Brazilian Continent)~~~

~~~(Time: 8:48 PM)~~~

I\'m really missing a roof over my head instead of a tent... It\'s storming outside... So bad that I had to stop and set this up. I\'m soaking, but luckily my clothes will be dry after a few hours inside my inventory.

"This must be the infamous South American storms of the 20th and 21st centuries... I only read about them in books and seen some videos..."

It\'s hard to believe anything that the supposed developers and founders of The Ancients World said, but some of it makes a little bit of sense... It makes you wonder whether what they said was actually true or now.

"The people who allegedly made The Ancients World claimed the Southern Brazilian Continent for South American Players would have his environment and climate based on the 20th and 21st centuries..."

My mind drifts to my target, and that\'s the King of the Kingdom I\'m currently in. I\'ve covered a lot of ground since I saved that village from monsters and bandits. And the bounty of the King\'s head was made by an anonymous organization.

But It\'s not something anyone can pass up. Not with the rewards at stake. One problem I\'ve found is I can\'t pronounce or speak most of the language. Which is why I\'m just referring to The Kingdom I\'m in as The Kingdom. And The King and The King.

I\'m looking forward to slaying a King. From what I\'ve heard, the man is a terrible tyrant and one that rules on power alone. No one strong enough has come along to dethrone him.

*KABOOOOM!!!*

Lighting flashes outside the tent as the rain falls even harder, and thunder quickly follows. Never in my life have I had my body and chest shaken from the sheer vibration from something close by.

I\'m tempted to stick my head out of the tent and see the sky and lightning dancing around. There are cracks of thunder every couple of seconds. But I doubt I could see anything through the heavy rainfall.

I don\'t think I\'ll be getting any sleep tonight...

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

~~~(Location: Mansion, In Bed, The Kingdom of Zenith)~~~

~~~(Time: 9:12 PM)~~~

Today was a pretty interesting day... One that I didn\'t anticipate... First, I fought a General, and then I come to find out that Sally\'s Father is a liberator and fighter for the Sex Slave\'s freedom.

There are times that I can only wonder what would happen if I didn\'t make the choices that I made... But looking back, were any of my choices actually my choices... Were they already determined to be made by me...

For a while now, I\'ve felt as though I\'ve been a piece moved on a chess board. I just don\'t know what kind of piece I am... Sometimes, I feel like a pawn... Other times I feel like a Knight or Rook...

Whatever is going on in the background, I can\'t see. I hope it doesn\'t cost me the people I love. I\'ve lost them once, and I don\'t think I can lose them again.

"I\'m worried about tomorrow more than anything... I don\'t know what Amelia is gonna do on our last day together... There are probably things she wants to do, and I\'ll do them... But those are only going to mask her pain for so long..."

She goes through things that I could never understand, and maybe one day I could... But Amelia only wants to spend time with me, and for some reason... That\'s too much to ask, and that\'s what hurts her... She wants just a little more time with me, but I have things to do.
