~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~
~~~(Location: Desert, The Continent Of Alforza)~~~
~~~(Time: 10:11 AM)~~~
We've been flying for about two days across the deserts of Alforza. It's been quiet. Something that I needed. I've come to the conclusion there is nothing I can do about what I learned. No point in dwelling on it longer than I have.
There will be something that happens to me. I have that gut feeling. This has been a plan long in the making, and there isn't anything I can do to see the bigger picture, only that I'm a part of it.
Sally and I should be making it to a new Kingdom soon, and one that will serve as a good distraction. It's not mapped, but that doesn't mean we can't get a map of the Kingdom and its lands. I'm ready to get back to being a Player.
"Look at that!"
Sally gets me out of my head, and I look to where she's pointing. The desert is ending, and grasslands with trees are starting to appear. It's like the African Safari that existed on Earth over 200 years ago before it was destroyed by pollution.
I slow down after about 10 miles into the new environment, and I land. Sally jumps off my back and starts to check out some of the areas. It's pretty beautiful.
"I wonder what kind of animals exist here?"
Her question barely reaches me as I see a herd of animals in the distance. I don't remember what they're called. It starts with the letter B. They went extinct in Africa like many other animals. I wonder how many animals from Earth have a counterpart here?
I'm not entirely sure of all the animals that used to live in Africa. I only know some of the big ones since they were taught to us in school. Lions, Hippos, Giraffes, and Elephants. There are other big cats, but I'm not naming all of them.
"They seem to be slight variations of what used to exist on Earth. A long time ago, there was a place called Africa on my world. It was teeming with life. But during my life, it had long since been dead."
She asked what kind of animals are here. But thinking about it, that wouldn't explain anything in detail.
This is proven by the confused look she's giving me. It's understandable. I should've seen that coming.
"Let's just say there are similarities between what's here and what used to exist on my world. They're not complete copies, but there are some similarities."
She rolls her eyes and goes back to check out the birds. They're calm around her. They're even letting her touch them. It's probably because Sally doesn't release a single ounce of malice. It's almost like that really old story about that princess and the dwarves.
Its name escapes me, it was made over 250 years ago on Earth. The company that made it was dissolved around the 21st century. Long before I was born.
"What do you think's out here? We're in a Kingdom, that's for sure. But wouldn't large cities stick out in a place like this? We should've seen something from that high in the sky."
She's right about seeing something. When you fly that high in the sky, you see for great distances. We didn't see anything, only the open grasslands and some of the bigger animals within it. We are in a Kingdom that much I know.
But if we can't find some sort of settlement or town. Then we might as well be lost.
"I don't know what's out there. We should get moving. The sooner we find a place to get what we need, the better for us."
She leaves the birds to their bird business and makes her way back to me. We launch off into the sky and start heading deeper into the new place we've found ourselves in.

~~~(Location: Tavern, Capital Of Geldios)~~~
~~~(Time: 4:15 PM)~~~
I'm watching the door with a sense of excitement and worry. Marcus should be here any minute, and this will be the first time I spend quality time with my youngest brother. Marcus came up with the idea we should work together for a while.
A way that we could grow closer and stronger. I like the idea. Two Legendary Class holders traveling and doing missions together. Both of us are together, and no one will think to impede us. Anyone with measurable intelligence, anyway.
I know spending time with Marcus is going to be something new to me. It's not like spending time with Cera. It's not a competition with Marcus.
"Hey, you're one pretty woman. Mind telling me your name?"
A drunk mercenary decides to make himself a nuisance to me. My eyes barely look at him, and the brief acknowledgment gives him confidence. But my turning away seems to make him upset.
"Don't Ignore me! Do you know who I am!?"
People with bad personalities shouldn't drink. It makes this worse. Before I can answer, something incredible happens.
"That's no way to talk to my sister."
I look at where the voice is coming from, and I see Marcus. He's gotten taller since the last I saw him. He's not as tall as me yet, but in a year or so, he'll pass me. I brush past the mercenary and grab my little brother in a hug. The drunk man falls to the floor with no balance. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮
Marcus hugs me back, and we leave the tavern before anything else can happen.
"I was wondering how long you'd take to get here. How was your trip?"
Most of it would be flying via Airship, but given Marcus having a Legendary Class, he'll receive special treatment. I think that's a good thing too. Special treatment when it comes to menial things is the best. No waiting in lines is my favorite.
He lets a long sigh escape as we walk down the streets. Most NPCs are getting off work by now, and the roads are starting to fill up slowly.
"I wish The Adventurers Guild didn't have a monopoly on Teleportation. It'd make things so much easier. But I wasn't willing to pay the price for all the teleports to get here."
Yeah, neither was I. The Adventurers Guild has become a pillar of hate in the Player community. Most Players aren't a part of The Adventurers Guild, but the ones that make it unfair since they've got the strongest classes.
I've been sought out by The Adventurers Guild before, and I have no doubt Marcus would be, too, if his identity were as popular as mine. Given he's so young, he doesn't stand out as much when it comes to the most powerful organizations. They underestimate them
"You're not the only one with that wish. In fact, I heard that in the coming Month, the new Pope will do something about it. Now that it's a Player, they'll be making big changes to the powerful independent organizations like The Adventurers Guild."
It's been spreading like wildfire. The Pope of The Church of Light is a Player. The old Pope retired, and now a new one has taken his place.
We eventually make it to the royal palace of the Capital City, Geldios. I've arranged a meeting with the royalty here. They've got some important quests that need to be done, and it'll be an excellent start for Marcus and me.

~~~(Time: 6:22 PM)~~~
We've been flying all day and still haven't come across any form of civilization. We might have to spend another night in the tent. I was looking forward to sleeping in a bed for a change.
"I see something."
Perhaps I spoke too soon. In the distance, Cera points to a small village. It's probably got no more than 200 people, but that's a start.
