The Ancients World

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

~~~(Location: Flying, Leaving The Kingdom of Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 11:21 AM)~~~

Now that I know where I'm going, I can skip over all the other locations here in Avalon. This leaves the choices between Zenith and The Fairy Kingdom. My best guess, I'd say Kris is located around The City of Harzon within The Kingdom of Zenith.

But I shouldn't rule out The Fairy Kingdom altogether. It's been a long time since I was there, and I'd like to see the changes that have occurred since I was last there.

The Fairy people are my allies and people that I trust. After saving The Holy Willow Tree, I've gained an entire people willing to back me up in almost anything I do. If I head there first, they'll tell me where Kris is without a moment's hesitation.

They'll even go to war for me if I asked, but I'd never do that to them. Going to The Fairy Kingdom first is the best option, and if Kris isn't there, that'll leave only The City of Harzon to search.

I've been flying in the direction that both Zenith and The Fairy Kingdom are in, but I adjust my course, so I'm heading directly for The Fairy Kingdom.

"It'll just be flying for now... I'm tempted to talk with Sally... See how she's doing with her own stuff."

I plan to help her look for her father after she's done with her tier-up quests, and it helps that she's in the process of her last tier-up quest. Hailey is off doing something on her own since she's done, and Marcus is also finished.

It's starting to look like I'm going to be one of the last ones to finish. Mom and Dad are still doing theirs, but that won't be for long. 

"Here I was thinking I'd be the one that gets done with everything first... So much for that..."

A large part of me wanted to be the one done with my tier-up quests before everyone else. But that ship sailed a while ago. Having to travel long distances really put a damper on how fast I get these things done. I should be grateful I've got markers on my map showing me where to go, at least.

I'm not flying and searching blindly as I have in the past. And once I'm done with all my tier-up quests, I plan to celebrate such a momentous occasion cause it'll be a while before I have to do anymore.

Out of nowhere, I get a message from Sally. I instantly open it and start reading.

[I thought I'd check-in and tell you I'm doing better than yesterday, and I hope everything is going well with you. Thanks for getting Hailey to stop spamming me with messages. I'm almost to the city I need to be at to finish my last tier-up quest. After that, I'm going to start looking for my father.]

Sounds like things are going better for Sally, and I hope she's excited to meet her father. We know he's within The Kingdom of Avalon somewhere, but only Sally knows where that might be. She's the one with the quest to find her father.

She hasn't told me much about the quest, and that's fine. It isn't an easy subject for her to talk about. But I'll say knowing she wasn't the result of rape has helped her in more ways than I want to count. She carried the stigma of being a result of that for a long time.

<br/>Since she isn't carrying that pain with her anymore, I can see why she's made so much progress without me. It's good to see her as a strong and independent person. She no longer needs to lean on me for support unless she wants to.

Open my messages and start to type out a reply.

[That's awesome, Sally. When I'm done with my tier-up quest, I'll be heading to your location to help you. And I'm looking forward to the moment you meet your real father. Let me know if anything develops in your search until I get there. It's going to be a chunk of time until I'm done with everything I've got.]

I send the message, and I dismiss the screen. My attention falls on the view below me, and I can't help being surprised. There is a large battle going on, and it's between two different Kingdoms. I don't know why it's happening, but it's a little outside the borders of The Kingdom of Avalon.

"Why would there be a battle going on between two different Kingdoms out here..."

I'm within The Kingdom of Salamanders Borders, but neither side is carrying the sigil of the Kingdom. And that's when it dawns on me.

"Two nobles are feuding... Nobles of The Kingdom of Salamander... It's not my business, but I wouldn't mind watching the battle..."

It takes but a second to get to a good vantage point and look at the conflict from where I'm standing. Battles like these have lost their meaning since Players and NPCs turned Players have become more prevalent in the noble scene.

Making battles like this undecided since no one actually loses military power. No one that's turned into a Player stays dead, but they're probably getting respawned at the home of whoever they're fighting for.

I couldn't say for sure, though.

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

~~~(Location: Airship Nearing The City of Farsec, Kingdom of Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 12:29 PM)~~~

Cera doesn't know how excited I am to get his help looking for my dad after we're done with our tier-up quests. I'm almost to Farsec, and that's where my last tier-up quest is taking me.

"Would you like to have a side dish of fries or hashbrowns?"

I'm currently ordering lunch. The food they have on select with regular Airships isn't as lavish as the Royal Airships, but they're still fantastic. 

"Can I get both?"

The waiter smiles at my request and writes down the order. He takes my menu, and I relax a bit more in my chair. I look out the window and see the passing scenery. 

It shouldn't be long, and by the time I'm done eating, enough time should pass to reach Farsec. Speaking of Farsec, I know very little about the place.

Only that's it's an important crafting city within The Kingdom of Avalon. Apparently, it has some of the best crafters in all of Gaia, but I don't know if that's entirely true. Cera was telling me some of the top organizations have their hands on the ones known as the best.

Guilds and other such places monopolize the best weapons and armor makers in all the lands. There have been many things I've come to learn, thanks to Cera.

How the internal politics of guilds and other such organizations is one of them. How they prioritize their goals and how they run their businesses. 

"Here you go, Ma'am."

It doesn't take long for the waiter to get back, and he sets my meal down in front of me. A couple of pieces of chicken with some french fries and hashbrowns.

As I start eating, an announcement rings throughout the Airship from the intercom.

"We'll be arriving at Farsec within the next 10 minutes. Once we arrive, you'll have one hour to get all your belongings off the Airship and depart. Enjoy the rest of your ride."

The man speaking doesn't sound enthusiastic in the slightest. I wouldn't be either if I was stuck flying an Airship from point to point for the majority of my life. Luckily, I don't have to do that.

After a few minutes, the large city comes into view, and the Airship starts to slow down. Just in time, too, cause I'm almost done with my food.
