YM778.TV Chapter 456 On My Own Again
~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~
~~~(Location: Flying towards The Raid Deep Crystal Crypt, The Kingdom of Avalon)~~~
~~~(Time: 10:03 AM)~~~
The dragon princess in my arms is looking at me and seeing my expression. "I take it your girlfriend is worried about you and I hanging out alone right now." Her smile grows as I nod my head. "That reminds me, what do you think about becoming a Player?" I look at her, and that\'s when I realize that she has the possibility of becoming one.
I couldn\'t say if it\'s a good idea for her or not, but I should give my honest opinion. "You should become a Player. The system gives you far more benefits than you\'d think viable. It\'ll allow you to do many things you wouldn\'t normally be able to." Pretty soon, every single living thing on Gaia will have access to the system and be a Player in some form or fashion.
All the people who want to get stronger or become something better than their current version should become a Player. "If you put it like that, I can see why becoming a Player is important. So I should get started on it right away." After a second, she wiggles free from my grasp and transforms back into her dragon form.
Taking off in a different direction and leaving me alone. She\'s a weird one. "She shows up out of nowhere and leaves just the same... Well, she\'s left me with a problem to deal with..." Sally is still wanting to talk about what I\'m doing with Nelli. Hopefully, knowing that she\'s gone will put her at ease. I spend some time informing her, and she tells me she\'s fine.
My dad always said if a girl says she\'s fine when something you did clearly upsets her. She\'s not fine. But I\'m not the type of person to play ring around the problem. "She\'s going to have to get over it. It\'s not my job to take care of her insecurities anymore." She\'s better than that now, and she knows it. So there is no longer a need to entertain this conversation.Â
Now that I\'m on my own again, there shouldn\'t be any more interruptions on my way to Deep Crystal Crypt. Having help from Nelli would\'ve been nice, but her terms for her help were not something that I could fulfill. "The dragon race is strange like that... I can\'t judge her, but I can be weirded out..." Asking me to mate with her was a curveball.
I\'m not ready to be a father, and even though I\'d probably not have to take care of them due to the dragon race and how they do things. I still don\'t like the thought that I fathered kids with someone other than Sally. "Today has been weird, so put it behind you and keep moving forward." That\'s the best I can do at the moment. So that\'s what I will do.
<br/>On the subject matter of plans for futures such as that... I wonder what Sally would think about having children with me... "It\'d have to after we\'re done with all of our journeys and adventures together, but it\'s something we\'ll have to talk about at some point." The useful skill I have known as Controlled Fun allows me to control if I can get her pregnant or not.
Sally might be open to it in the future, but as we are now, that\'s not something to consider in our current relationship. She\'d want to get married too, and I\'m not ready for marriage, and I don\'t think she is either. "Ugh... These are thoughts for another time." I clear my head of these thoughts, and I focus on getting to my destination.

~~~(Location: Road heading toward The City of Rezza, The Kingdom of Avalon)~~~
~~~(Time: 10:20 AM)~~~
Cera hasn\'t gotten back to me since the last message I sent, but at least Nelli has left. "You can\'t trust any girls whatsoever..." I don\'t trust any woman around Cera. He\'s the catch of a lifetime, and plenty of women see it. "I\'m not losing him to anyone." I know he\'s faithful, and I don\'t have to worry. But I can\'t help feeling insecure.
I need to get over my personal fears and think about something else. I need to get my mind off Cera. "I\'ve been making progress, but there is still a long way to go before reaching The City of Rezza." The trip to Rezza isn\'t going to be fun. It\'s just covering ground as fast as I can. If only I could fly like Cera... Man, it\'d be so much easier getting around...
There is someone that I want to talk to who isn\'t Cera, and that\'s his mom, Violet. We didn\'t get a chance to speak that much back on The Royal Airship, and I think it\'s a good chance to now. "I\'d rather do it in person, but it\'s important that I connect with her..." I open my Friend\'s Tab, and I click on her name. And I start typing an opener to a conversation.
[Hello, Violet. I was just wanting to see if you\'d be okay with talking for a while? Things have been pretty boring, and I can\'t talk with Cera right now. I remember you wanted to know more about me, and I\'m willing to share with you using the messages. If that\'s alright with you? Get back to me soon, okay? I\'d love to talk with you!]
That should suffice enough to be a conversation opener. But knowing the Adamo family, everyone is probably busy completing the things they need done. "I can only hope she doesn\'t mind talking right now..." Violet is someone who is important to Cera, and that means she should be important to me as well. She\'s my boyfriend\'s mom, after all. I get a message back from Violet.
[I have time to talk with you. The last time we got a chance, it was interrupted, and I\'d love to know about your past. I know that it\'s a sensitive topic from how you reacted last time, so if you are uncomfortable, we can stop. Cera loves you a lot, and that means I have to learn about you and you about me. So you can start when you\'re ready.]
Starting from the beginning seems like the best idea. I don\'t know how she\'ll react to me having the past that I have. Some people think that a person like me isn\'t a person anymore because of the things I was forced to endure. "Violet won\'t be like that... But it\'s always at the back of my mind." I take a deep breath and start typing.

This is the best way to travel for sure... While traveling with Cera using, his flight is definitely faster. This is way more comfortable. "The trip to my next destination is around a day via Airship, so I\'m going to enjoy this entire experience, and this time I don\'t have to share it with my family." I bet everyone else is walking for something like that, except for Cera, of course.
