~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~
~~~(Location: The City Of Jaerey, The Kingdom Of Laasir, The Islands Of Haestar)~~~
~~~(Time: 10:41 AM)~~~
Hailey and Sally are taking some time to talk alone. Hailey said she wanted to so she could show that it's a genuine apology. Something she feels terrible about. Sally has already forgiven her, but I'm glad she's putting in the extra effort.
Leaving me alone as I look out at the beautiful landscape. There is a beach in the distance, and the ocean is connected to it. The Islands Of Haestar are known to be wonderful.
Some of the best vacation and retirement spots in all of Gaia. I've never been here in my past life. It wasn't a place that was important during the time of my escapades. The Ruins Of Tasdir are what made this area famous.
There is so much power hidden away in The Ruins Of Tasdir, and the knowledge I gave Hailey and Marcus is what I know. I'm sure there was more discovered in the past, but that information stayed hidden.
They want to get their travel companions Classes that don't suck. Well, suck in comparison to the people they're hanging out with. It seems that all the people I know and talk to have Classes Legacy Grade or higher.
Yet, most of the Players and NPCs don't have a Class Grade higher than Rare.
"Mom and Dad will be the next people we get... It'll be nice to have the whole family together again. I'm excited to learn what they've been up to..."
Talking to myself is a habit I have during my time of isolation, and that's unavoidable. Conversations with yourself can reveal insights when you've been alone for most of your life.
Most of my life is an exaggeration, but the times I was alone were the roughest I've ever been through. In the past, after Mom died, that was when things hit the fan. Hailey's dealer is the one that killed her.
I'm sure that man is alive out there somewhere. If I ever find him or see him. He'll be in store for an endlessly painful undeath.
My attention is taken from the laughter coming from another direction. I turn my attention and see Marcus walking up the hill we're on with Kelly and Rianna. I've been told they're big fans of mine. I believe I met them briefly.
That was before Sally and I left after visiting them here. They're heading in the direction of Hailey and Sally. The thought of joining them crosses my mind, but I'm enjoying this view...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat's just an excuse not to deal with fangirls.

~~~(Time: 10:57 AM)~~~
"I can't believe that's how you two met!! That's so not as romantic as I thought it would be..."
Kelly sounds disappointed as I regain the two new girls with my story of how Cera and I met. True, it's boring and a little out of place, but that's how we met.
"What can I say? He saw something in me that day. I don't know what, but I'm glad that I got over my fears and joined him. It was hard initially, but I fell in love with him."
Very quickly, if I might say. They don't need to know that, though. I watch as both of them stare off in the direction Cera's in. He's looking at the beach in the distance. Taking a moment to himself.
Men need time alone. Away from people. I feel as though I don't give Cera enough space sometimes. We're always together, and I don't want him to get tired of me.
"He's even prettier than the last time I saw him..."
Rianna's words strike a nerve in me. Many women have looked at Cera with a look of lust and desire. The Spice we had in the desert caused something that I never want to do again. Cera and I were drugged into a threeway with a Des'merta Priestess.
Xaro... Xero... I don't even remember her name anymore... You'd think I would, but I haven't thought about her until now.
"Yeah, I can see that good looks run in the family."
They know that Marcus, Hailey, and Cera are family members. Siblings as raised in the same house and under the same roof.
"By the way, what happened to your hair?"
The sudden change of topic by Kelly is a welcomed one. Cera deserves some time to himself and time when he's not being talked about.
Though I doubt that rarely happens in the world anymore. There are so many people that look up to and support Cera. He shouldn't have the people closest to him acting like the strangers he doesn't know.
~~~(POV: Hailey Adamo)~~~
~~~(Location: The City Of Jaerey, The Kingdom Of Laasir, The Islands Of Haestar)~~~
~~~(Time: 11:25 AM)~~~
Rianna and Kelly haven't stopped staring at Cera since they got here. It's really starting to bug the crap out of me. Sally must've gotten used to it cause she's acting very cool about everything at the moment.
However, girls that don't respect the fact a guy already has someone isn't people I want to associate with. Plus, that's my brother, and these two are my friends. I didn't think I'd call them that when I first met them.
They're that now, though.
"Ladies."
The edge and anger in my voice is present. The two of them look at me, and I can see the concern growing in their eyes.
"Stop staring at my brother like that. Kelly, you've already gotten my youngest one. Rianna, he's a taken man."
Both of them blush slightly, but after a second, Kelly turns her attention to Marcus. Throwing her arms around his shorter body.ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ (f)ire
"How could I prefer any other guy over my sugar bear!!"
Oh, brother... At least she's being honest. I can see that Marcus is a little annoyed, but he's also happy. I'm not looking forward to when Mom finds out. The fact her youngest son isn't a virgin and the girl who took it is almost an adult.
It'll be interesting, for sure.

~~~(Time: 11:52 AM)~~~
Sally walks up from behind me and wraps her arms around me. The rest are heading back to the city and leaving us to ourselves. My sister is likely getting her hair fixed as soon as possible.
"How long will we be staying? I know you want to reunite your parents with us."
That's a good question and a subject I've been pondering for a while now. I've yet to send a message to Mom and Dad. I'm thinking after my siblings and their friends are done with The Ruins Of Tasdir, I'll contact them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI want to see how well they do with the information I gave them. Hailey and Sally are the only two people in the world at I personally know who have knowledge of the truth regarding me.
The fact that I've gone back in time and have changed the future. They're the only ones. Sally knows more about me than anyone. Secrets that not even Hailey knows.
"We'll be staying with them until we can't anymore. After they're done with The Ruins Of Tasdir, I'm sure they'll want to come with us to get Mom and Dad."
I've been apart from my family for a long time. The few visits and get-togethers we have everyone once in a while is nice. But I have a feeling with everything going the way it is. It'd be safer if all of us stayed together.
"Then that's what we'll do. We're not in any rush to get anything done anymore. That's why we went to Alfoza in the first place."
She's right about that. There is no rush. This is where a saying of archaic meaning comes into place. It was pretty popular in the early 21st century.
Let the good time roll.
