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

~~~(Location: The Road to The Capital, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 12:05 PM)~~~

Sally and I are relaxing and watching the clouds pass, and with every hour that passes, we're closer to Greshina. It's been a long road getting here, and there is still a long road ahead of us. We have countless things left to do after we're done with The Elven Kingdom. The Kingdom of Avalon is our next stop. It's time that I finally get a handle on tiering up.

Sally moves closer and rests her head on my chest. Her ear over my heart. "Don't think I'm weird for saying this, but I love listening to your heartbeat... It lets me know that you're real... That you're not some imagination of mine..." I don't think that's weird... I'd think in a similar manner if I were in her shoes. Lived the life that she had. Something as terrible as that.

My arm coils around her body, and I bring her in closer. Making sure that she feels safe in my arms. "I'm lucky to have found you working in that Inn oh so long ago... I can't even remember the name of the city I stopped in when we met..." My memory isn't perfect, and we've been through so much the last few months that I doubt I can remember half the places we've been to...

I hope that doesn't make me a bad partner. Forgetting the place where we first met and talked. "I remember the first time we met. You knocked on my door with some food, and when you got a whiff of me, you nearly puked. That was the day or so after a long a brutal battle against several enemies..." She's quiet as I keep talking, and I don't know why I'm doing this.

Going down memory lane is fun and all, but I don't usually do it with another person. Most of the time, it's in my head... Talking to myself. "When I offered for you to come with me... I did so because I felt that you were a genuine person... A rarity... Someone that I could end up trusting and revealing my secret as Slayer Zern to you was a risk..." She lifts her head as I pause.

Building the suspense is just cruel right now, but I'm having a bit of fun. "You proved what I felt about you right... When you learned about me, you didn't change... It was one of the most wonderful things I've ever seen in my entire life... There aren't people like you, Sally... I want you to know that..." Talking about all this came out of nowhere, but it felt right.

Parts of me wish that I had met Sally sooner or in my old life as well, but the only reason I know her now is from the choices I've made... The knowledge that I've abused. "You did the same for me, Cera... You grew into someone I trust more than anyone I've ever known... You showed me there was more to my life... That I wasn't a worthless thing that people walk by..." That's hard to hear.

She was treated like a leper, and people don't tolerate ex-slaves... Thinking them impure... Ignore that it was not within their control or power to stop... "Thanks for making me feel like I deserve life and love... Thank you so much for helping me with all this... Getting revenge, coming to Greshina to face my family with me..." She needn't say any of this, but I get why she is...

Sally is my other half, and I never thought I'd say that about anyone in my entire life. I thought I'd be alone and riding solo. "This got way sappier than it should've, but I'm glad that it did... Hearing all this, saying these things to each other... It means a lot..." She leans down towards me as she finishes talking, and we find ourselves kissing again.

It's funny since she said that I wouldn't be getting any action for at least a week, but that's already gone considering what she's going to me. "Hey... Let's stop here... Before it escalates again..." I talk to her between the kisses that we share, but she isn't slowing down or showing that she's even listening to me right now.

Sally shows her disappointment as I gently peel her lips from mine and move her away from me. "Fine, you're right... I don't even know the next time we'll have enough privacy to do what we want to each other... It could be a long time since we'll be so busy in Greshina." She's trying her best to convince me of coming to her side of the proverbial table.

All I do is smile and lay back down with my hands behind my head, looking back at the clouds about us. She releases a long sigh but finds herself back at my side. "In the end, this is just as good..." I couldn't agree more. I feel bad for Hailey... I doubt she'll ever find someone. She's my sister, and I'm allowed to say those things about her.

Speaking of Hailey, she's starting to hold up better and better with the fact she knows the truth now. While I don't know her current condition, I know it's an improvement over what we were both dealing with a bit ago. She's a strong girl, and I have no doubts in my mind she'll accept it and move on cause that's the only thing that can be done.

Terox and Helda might even make up and be friends again after this quest. Who knows, but right now, there is no place to call each other friends. Not like I really should get in the middle of it. I only did so before cause it was jeopardizing the mission, but now that it's been handled, whatever's going on between them now isn't my problem.

Ashburn and Melimora have been getting along, and I even think that Melimora is warming up to the idea of being with Ashburn, but I can't say for sure. Jasmine isn't someone I've given a lot of thought to lately since she hasn't caused me any problems. Same with Leila and Freskra. Funny how that works. You focus more on the people making things harder for you.

Maybe that's just me. That's how it's been my entire life. Solving problems and overcoming obstacles. "When we get to Greshina, will you never leave my side?" Sally's sudden question pulls me from my thoughts, and I look at her. She's got a far-off look, and I can tell there is some fear. Her's is growing more the closer we get, which I understand.

~~~(POV: Violet Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: The City of Gradule, Leaving the City)~~~

~~~(Time: 1:44 PM)~~~

Since we can't find anyone to get us in, we'll just make a way in. Marcus is strong enough to melt through any type of wall, and I doubt the walls surrounding Greshina are any stronger than the ones that Border The Elven Kingdom. "Honey, maybe we should think about this, huh? We don't know what can of worms we're opening by doing this." My husband is trying to convince me otherwise.

My children are getting farther and farther from me, and I'm not going to sit here waiting for something to come up. "No, we're leaving, and we're getting into Greshina." All that Chris does is sigh and rub the back of his head. Marcus and my husband are following right behind me as we leave Gradule. Moving on foot since it's faster than riding in a carriage.

I will find my two oldest kids, and we will be a family again. No walls or soldiers will stop that from happening any more.
