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

~~~(Location: Leedle Park, The Capital City Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 12:31 PM)~~~

We've all decided to gather at Leedle Park within The Capital City before we take off on our individual quests. Sally will be taking off towards the East. She needs to reach a town called Abble. Mom is heading South towards a town called Deadore to get her quest. Dad will have to head North to Cardone to get his.

Marcus will be heading North East to get his tier-up quest, and he's heading to a popular city named Helios. Jasmine is heading Southwest to continue her tier-up quest. She needs to clear a Dungeon. Hailey is off towards The Fallen Kingdom of Rosalia. "I didn't think this would ever happen again..." Mom starts to choke up, realizing we'll all be apart again.

My parents and little brother traveled an incredibly long way to find Hailey and me, and now we're leaving again. This time, they won't even have each other. "Hey... It's not like we'll be apart forever... We can still talk to each other..." Dad turns his attention to mom, and I take a look at everyone here. Mom is the worst off, but everyone is having lumps in their throats.

My eyes stay on Sally, and she's looking back at me. Her eyes are heavy, and she adopts a solemn expression. "The moment has finally come, everyone." My voice grabs everyone's attention. "Today and at this moment, we'll all be off on our own journeys. I don't know how long, but make it worthwhile." Mom wipes the tears off her cheeks.

The first to leave is Jasmine, taking off towards the exit of Leedle Park. Hailey follows soon after her, and mom after Hailey. Marcus takes some time and talks with dad before he leaves. Leaving only dad, myself, and Sally. He walks up to me and places his hands on my shoulders. "I'm proud of you, Cera... Please, stay in touch." He gives me a hug and takes off himself.

That leaves only Sally, and we look at each other. This is the first time I don't know what to say to her. "Where are you going first, Cera... I'd like you to tell me instead of looking on the map..." I walk closer to her, and she becomes further discomposed. Once my arms are around her, her face is buried in my chest as she lets out cries of sadness.

She's done good at holding it in for so long, and now she's letting the pain she's been saving inside her out. She's grown very powerful and confident, but that doesn't mean her feelings have disappeared. "I'm going... To miss you... So much..." Her words come out with difficulty due to the crying and hiccups. All I do is rub the top of her head.

Our time together has been an amazing one, even though we're going on separate journeys. That doesn't mean we'll be lost to each other. "I'll be heading to The Ancient Dungeon of Isexxs. It's located near the city of Portes. It's to the Northwest." Her eyes are red and puffy as she listens to me describe where I'll be heading to start my tier-up quest.

There are many battles in my future, going back to how it used to be. On my own and fighting every step of the way. Completing quests and gaining rewards. "Message me every day, and don't take too much time responding to any of mine. And don't go falling in love with someone else. I'll know." The system is capable of many things. I'm glad we can check up on each other like that.

She can see if I'm staying faithful, and I can see if she is. I have no doubts, and I don't think I'll check it, but it's nice to know that it's there. "Okay... I'll be off now... It's time that I do what I need to do... Stay safe, Cera..." She stands on her tippytoes and wraps my lips with hers. We share a long and pleasant kiss. One that's normal and filled with what you need at this moment. Love.

As she pulls away, I can see her shaking as she turns around and heads for the exit. Leaving me to myself. "It's been so long since I've been on my own... It's a good feeling, but also a sad one... Quite weird, if I'm honest..." I look towards the sky and toggle my golden angel wings on. "Time to be on your own again, Cera." With those words, I flex my wings and launch off the ground hard.

Once I reach the clouds, I level out and open my Player Map. "It's so fucking nice to have this again..." I make the location that I need to head to on my map, and it appears on my HUD. A Marker heading Northwest. "Well, Portes... Here comes Slayer Zern." Another flap of my wings makes me reach top speed, and I'm covering ground pretty quick.

I twist and turn in the sky, enjoying the freedom that's come with my flight. Not having to carry people is something that I've missed. The blue and unpolluted sky of Gaia is something you'd never see on Earth. The healthy and lush forests below me were dying back home, and I never knew what it looked like. I remember when I first saw this world.

It looks how Earth is supposed to look. Untainted by man and his creations, and ever-expanding and waiting for discovery. My eyes close, and I feel the wind on my face, blowing my hair back. My thoughts drift towards what I'll have to do once I get my tier-up quest. I have no idea what I'm up against. Blue Chaos never spoke of what he had to do to tier-up.

I can take solace in the fact I don't have to rush anything, and I can take as much time as I need. It's what everyone agreed upon. That we'd only meet up again once everyone was finished with all the quests they have or need to get. "I have two more tier-up quests after this one..." I'm going to be a very busy man, and so will the others. An adventure awaits me.

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

~~~(Location: Airship Port, Capital City of Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 12:50 PM)~~~

My heart aches every time I think about Cera, and my tears fall harder. You'd figure I'd be out of tears left to cry, but not today. Everyone else is making their own way there, and I'm the only one using an Airship to get to Abble. "Are you okay?" A feminine voice fills my ears, and I look up to see another elven woman. I quickly wipe my tears and straighten up.

She smiles as she sits next to me, and she places a hand on my back. "A girl only cries like that when a boy is involved. I won't pester you, but I got some advice about boys if you want it." She sees my smile, and I start to feel a little better. Nothing bad happened between Cera and me. It just sucks we have to be apart.

I take a deep breath to compose myself, and I organize my thoughts. "It is about a boy, but nothing bad happened... We just need to separate to do our tier-up quests, and it's going to be a long time before we can see each other again." She takes an understanding look. She pulls up her Player Interface and goes to her friend's tab. Sending me a friend request.

She sees my confused look and chuckles. "If you ever want to talk about it, reach out to me. I'm in the same situation as you... I'm off to a town called Felliea... It's on the same Airship heading to Abble but farther away." She's smart enough to put together we're heading to the same place since we're waiting in the same spot. I could use a friend right now.
