~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~
~~~(Location: The Jungles of Nae\'mor, The City of Armezix, The Continent of Alforza)~~~
~~~(Time: 7:50 AM)~~~
The last couple of days haven\'t been all that eventful while making our way through Armezix. Jaeemara has been giving us history lessons every time we enter a new part of the city. I\'ve learned a lot from her about The Dark Elves.
We\'re currently resting inside an Inn at the moment. Sally is still asleep next to me, and Jaeemara has her own room.
Sally looks like she could use some more sleep, but I\'m getting up. I make my way to the bathroom and start up a shower. Now that I\'ve got access to one every day now, I\'m making sure I use it. One of the worst things is going a long time without a shower.
The water is warm and relaxing. Having it magically enchanted to help clean and relax you is one of the things I wish Earth showers had. But magic didn\'t exist on Earth. Only in our fantasies did we get to experience magic. But the survivors of Earth now live here.
In a world teeming with magic. In the end, it was the best outcome for us, but the following generations won\'t know about Earth as we do. And that, too, is a good thing. How sad is that?
Mom and Dad are probably having fun right now, and so are my two other siblings. It\'s been a while since I last talked to them. I should check in on them. It should be early evening on their part of Gaia.
Being so far away means I\'m in a different time zone now. I open my messages and click on Mom\'s name first. I don\'t know how I should open this conversation, so just getting to the point is probably best.
[How are you guys doing?]
My message is sent, and I continue cleaning myself as I wait for a response. It doesn\'t take long for Mom to get back to me. Moms don\'t take long to get back to their children. That\'s one of the things about Moms. Their unconditional attention to their kids.
[It\'s so good to hear from you, sweetie! I was wondering if I\'d ever hear from you again. Your Dad and I have been spending a lot of time together doing quests and having fun. It\'s like we\'re young again. It was hard without the kids at first. But I\'m actually enjoying myself now.]
My talk with Mom continues for another few minutes, and I eventually get through all the people in my family. Hailey is still where she was the last time I talked to her, and from the sounds of it, she\'ll be there for a while. Marcus is actually aiding a Kingdom right now.
He\'s got two older princesses wrapped around his finger from the sound of it. I don\'t know where he learned that, but I\'m proud as an older brother.
After a couple more minutes, I\'m done with my shower, and I head back into the room. I see Sally still sleeping on the bed, and I take this chance to get breakfast. I\'m not surprised that Jaeemara is down here already.
Parents have to wake up earlier than their kids, and since Jaeemara is a Mother of two. She\'s got plenty of practice at waking up during the early hours of the day.
Once I reach her, she smiles and pulls out a chair for me to sit down with her. I give my order to the cook. Jaeemara is staring at me, and I can tell she\'s wanting to ask me something.
"What?"
Jaeemara has become a friend over the last couple of days, and I enjoy her company. She\'s mature, understanding, and wise. Something that makes it easy to be around her. Our conversations are always good, and I enjoy listening to what she has to say.
"I was just thinking about Sally and how she\'s been doing. You\'re aware of her concerns, correct?"
That\'s something I was hoping to avoid talking about. But I guess getting it over with now is the best solution. Sally has been trying to act like everything is normal, but she\'s worried about me. I can tell from the way she looks at me.
"Yes, and I\'m sure she\'ll get over it in due time. Lately, things have been rocky between us. Before we met you, we were in a pretty bad spot. And now we\'re dealing with this. While not as bad, I can tell it\'s going to last a little bit."
Sally and I usually get along with no problems whatsoever. But I guess every relationship has its up and downs. And times when it\'s going steady.
"Ahh, to be so young and naive... Sally absolutely adores you, and I can tell you do the same for her. And while not talking about something is a strategy, it\'s not going to work in the long run. Pazemad and I have had our fights in the past too. Do you know how we got over them?"
I can already tell where this is going.
"You talked."
She laughs and looks me straight in the eyes.
"No, we argued. Arguments are the best way to get out frustrations, grievances, and anger with your partner. While it\'s not the answer people expect, disagreements and fights are just as important as getting along."
I\'ll admit, that wasn\'t the answer I was expecting. But I guess it is a perspective that I hadn\'t seen yet. But that doesn\'t mean I\'m just going to go upstairs and start an argument with her.
Jaeemara and I stop talking as our food gets here, and a couple of minutes later, I feel a hand on my back and see the beautiful girlfriend that I spend all my time with. She sits next to me and takes some of my food.
"How long have you two been up?"
She still sounds a little tired.
"Cera and I haven\'t been down here for very long. Order something, and when we\'re done eating, we\'ll get a move on."
Jaeemara has come to learn of my real name, but that\'s the limit of her knowledge regarding me. I couldn\'t have her calling me Angel Zern all the time. That\'d be inconvenient. So she knows my name instead.
"That sounds perfect to me. I\'m starving. Where are we heading next, anyway?"
That\'s a good question and one I haven\'t asked Jaeemara yet. We\'ve already been through various places in Armezix. I\'m curious as to what\'s in store.
"We\'re heading through one of the worst parts of Armezix soon. Full of corruption, crime, and poverty. It\'d be wise if we didn\'t start any trouble or attract any attention."
Now I\'m really interested. There is nothing more fun than cracking the skulls of people who deserve it.
"You make it sound like we\'re supposed to keep our heads down and not look at anyone. If trouble comes our way, I\'m dealing with it. Criminals are some of the best people to get rid of."
While there is no such thing as an equal crime, there is such a thing as punishment for the worst of crimes. Like murder, rape, kidnapping, and slavery. Those people are the ones I take the most enjoyment out of hurting.
"Look, it\'ll make getting through the area easier if we avoid any trouble. But if you think that it\'s something you want to do. I can\'t stop you. Just know that it wastes time, and even if we did something. It wouldn\'t make a dent into the problems going on."
When she puts it like that, it\'s better to do it her way.
"You make a convincing point, Jaeemara. As much as I\'d like to do something, you\'re right about it not changing things in the end. Someone else will just come along."
You win some, and you lose some.
