~~~(Location: The City of Rendorel, The Empire of Larmodies)~~~

~~~(Time: 8:45 PM)~~~

Cera and I have been talking back and forth using the system messaging. We stopped talking about an hour ago. He told me he needed to catch up on some messages sent by Violet and Amelia. I have no problems with it. I got him for a good 5 hours.

He does update me on his progress here every hour, though. And it's looking like he'll be arriving around 2:30 AM.

That's a good amount of time from now, and I'm starting to get really tired as is. I've already set an alarm for 2 AM, and I'll be falling asleep soon. I can't keep my eyes open for much longer. There are plenty of things to look forward to tomorrow...

Meeting my Father...

Seeing and being with Cera again...

It feels like my life keeps getting better the more time that passes. It's felt that way ever since I met Cera for the first time. And it scares me sometimes... Cause what goes up has to come down, and I've been only going up since my life with Cera started.

Violet and Chris raised a good man, and I hope when Cera and I start having kids. We'll be as good, or better parents than them. Violet and I have been exchanging messages lately. Talking more since I'm with her Son. She's overprotective.

But Cera does a great job of drawing a line with his Mother. And she has come to like me too. Even after knowing about my life long before anyone in that family was born. It's weird sometimes.

Being as old as I am and being with someone so young compared to me. I haven't given it much thought until recently. Cera is a little over 20 now, and I'm over 100. To be exact, I'm 103. Elves aging stops once we reach a certain point.

So on the surface, I look like I'm in my early twenties. I'm glad for one thing, though. And this is something I'd never say to Cera. But due to him being an Angel, he's immortal. Meaning that neither of us will die from old age.

He doesn't feel the same way about never growing old and dying. Being from Earth, death is probably a kindness.

While being of divine Angel blood, he has the mentality of a mortal. And all mortals eventually welcome and accept death. A sweet release in the end for them. Something that I've never personally understood.

Some are beginning to theorize that Players and NPCs Turned Players are immortal now as well. As long as a higher being like a God doesn't kill them. They'll come back to life. From the rumors, I hope that isn't true. Death is what keeps life in check.

But all this thinking is making me even more tired, and the eyelids get heavier by the second. Knowing that Cera is coming is making me sleep easier. And we're almost done with everything we've individually set out to do.

Once I meet my Father and accomplish that. Cera and I won't have anything on the to-do list. We'll have to find something else to do.

I'm looking forward to what it might be. Something that isn't driven by personal goals for either of us.

It's been so exhausting living like that, and I can't think of the last time we just did something because we both wanted to do it. Not because it needed to be done. I needed to kill the people that made my life hell. I needed to kill the James family.

Then when I learned the truth from them, Cera and I left for The Elven Kingdom. And we handled all the people that condemned my Mother and me to the lives in The Sex Slave trade. Now, I'll be meeting my Father soon, the man that my Mother loved.

Someone I didn't even know existed until Queen Oryzox told us in her dying breaths. It's the end of the road, as I can see it.

My final thoughts for the day slowly cross my mind, and I descend into sleep as Cera is all that's left on my mind. He's probably flying in the dark right now and enjoying every bit of it.

~~~(Time: 10:51 PM)~~~

,m Today has been the day where I sent the most messages in my life. Conversations with Sally, And both my Mom and Amelia. It ended about an hour ago, but I never want to message that much again. But I don't think it'll be gone for long. They have every intention of talking tomorrow.

Amelia was the one who talked the most out of everyone. Now that I'm on her Friend's List, she can get a hold of me anytime she wants.

I have no problems with that, but I can see it being an everyday thing. To her, she'll be making up for lost time and getting to know me like a Mother should know a Son. I'm concerned that I'm going to be a distraction to her.

In all fairness, I don't think any Mother or Father would consider their child a distraction. Well... That depends on the parent... Some out there do see their kids as distractions.

I flip my body around in the air, and I fly with my chest to the open night sky. Seeing thousands of stars as I do. Maybe even millions. It makes me wonder if there are other planets out there. With life on them.

This isn't a game, not like everyone originally thought it was. And many have conformed to the idea it's another universe. Meaning there is possible life in other places.

One thing that's always taken my mind of the bigger things in my life while I'm in The Ancients World were the stars. Both this life and the old one I had. Many spent hours staring at the stars.

The pollution of Earth made it so only certain places on Earth could allow you to see the stars. I wasn't close to one of those places.

A doomed planet. And salvation in another. Makes you wonder if this is what the devs and founders intended in the first place...

That's a nice thought, but I doubt it. They were only ever concerned with money.

Even as humanity and all life on Earth would be extinct within the next 150 years. They only cared about profits. But it's because everyone accepted their fate and didn't want to try and save us. Millions wanted to.

But billions more figured it was a lost cause. For one, I'm glad things turned out this way. Better our home be Gaia. As much love as I have for planet Earth, we ruined it. It was our fault.

There is no one to blame but ourselves.

~~~(Location: City Center of Rendorel, The Empire of Larmodies)~~~

~~~(Time: 2:20 AM)~~~

Cera messaged me shortly after my alarm went off. He's almost here, and I'm waiting in the empty city center for him. My eyes are locked in the direction he's supposed to be coming from. And after a couple of minutes. I see his silhouette in the moonlight.

He sees me waving for him, and he comes down fast, leveling out instead of landing. He scopes me up and ascends.

"Ahhh! Hahahah!"

At first, I scream at the move he's made, but I'm soon laughing in his arms. We level out above the clouds, and he slows down. Looking at me as he holds me in his arms.

"Just so you know, I'm not giving those panties back. Not without some encouragement."

He opens his mouth and says something that makes me laugh. I was hoping for something more romantic than that, but it's better than what I was wanting.

I reach my hand up, and I caress his cheek.

"I can think of a few things..."

My voice is slow and full of what we both need.
