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

~~~(Location: Walking around, Greshina)~~~

~~~(Time: 5:45 PM)~~~

Never in my life did I think I'd ever come to the capital city of my people. Let alone come here to take revenge for all the horrible things done to my mother and me... The streets are slowly starting to empty, and I can say with glee that no one has bothered me. I haven't even been spared a look by ay anyone. People are too busy getting home, getting drunk, or both.

Cera is somewhere around the city, and being the man he is, he's probably trying to find information about this place while we're here. Cera pushing me to do this was unexpected and a surprise, but Cera doing this shows me that he thinks I'm ready to face this demon in my past. It means more to me than he'll ever really know.

Hailey gave me some needed help, and I'm grateful for her help. Hailey accepting me as her future sister hit me deeper in the heart than I thought anything like that would. Being accepted by a man was something I didn't think I'd have, let alone his family. "Goes to show there is someone out there for everyone..." My cynical opinion towards those words has disappeared.

Mom would've known all about Greshina since she grew up here. The Orvello family is one of the wealthiest families in the Elven Kingdom. My life was hell because of my family condemning my mother to a horrid fate for something she didn't even have a choice in. My anger and resentment start to grow at the thought of them.

I don't even know what they look like, and I plan to burn their faces in my memory before I kill them. I want to savor the look of defeat and disbelief of the granddaughter coming back for revenge against the family. "I shouldn't think like this, but I can't help it... I hate them..." I'm not this type of person, but I feel what I feel.

In my opinion, the royal family isn't as important to take out. Helda, Terox, Hailey, Jasmine, Ashburn, Leila, and Freskra will be handling the royal family. Cera and I will be heading to my family's estate once we have all we need. "I wonder if you'd be proud of my decisions, mom..." I know she'd be proud of who I am, but I don't know she'd feel about what I plan to do with the Orvello's.

My resolve grows every passing minute. I think about my life and how it all goes back to my family. I'm stopping. Stopping being scared and afraid. I'm not going to be this way anymore. I have power, and I can kill those that threaten me now. My Legacy class Winters Wrath is a perfect example of my new power.

~~~(POV: Hailey Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Safe House in Greshina, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 6:01 PM)~~~

Cera and Sally have been gone for a long time now, and Sally has broken my expectation about how long she can stay out there on her own. "What do you think they're doing, Hailey?" Jasmine's question is one that's been on my mind too. Cera is probably learning all he can about this place, and Sally is doing something to help her get over her fear.

Jasmine hasn't had many opportunities to have fun in the bigger cities we've been to, so an idea strikes me. "Want to go and find out?" She looks at me in confusion. Along with everyone else in the room. "The last time we got to have any fun in a big city was before I left to Kill the James family." She looks to the side, giving the idea some thought.

Not everything has to be done, but I thought I should offer. "Can we stop off somewhere and get something to eat?" Why is food always on her mind? It doesn't make any sense to me... "Cause I'd love to try some actual Elven food. I heard it's some of the best in all of Gaia." I wouldn't know, and I doubt it's better from the food players from Earth make.

As I stand up, she does so too. Helda looks like she wants to say something, but Terox places her hand on her shoulder and shakes her head. "They're big girls, Helda... Let them go out and have some fun before tomorrow. There is a lot to do..." When she puts it like that, I want to leave even faster. Not wasting a moment more, I leave the safe house with Jasmine in tail.

We start off by following the path we used to get to the safe house. I saw some food shops and restaurants on the way in, and the food coming from them was great. While we walk, the streets are becoming more and more empty, and the only ones out now are guards and drunks coming from the taverns. We make it to a place to get some food, but they're already closed.

It sucks, but not all hope is lost. If a tavern is open, then that means they're selling food too. We get in the closest Tavern and make our way through the crowd and to the counter. "What'll the two ladies have?" The bartender doesn't sound like what an elf would, but he looks like one. Not questioning anything, we look at the menu quickly and order.

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

~~~(Location: Tavern in Greshina, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 6:21 PM)~~~

I've learned pretty much everything I can from these pitiful drunks, and it's time for me to take my leave. I exit the Tavern and start walking down the street. "There are old passages that lead under the city... Maybe there are some that lead under the palace..." It's a possibility... If such tunnels existed, it'd be a whole lot easier getting into the palace.

That's what I learned from Hailey and her group going to attack the royal family. Sally and I are taking on the Orvello's, and sadly, I couldn't get any useful information on how to get into the estate without tripping any alarms. "I'll have to do some scouting at the location tomorrow. It's getting too late to do it now..." Before I can continue my train of thought.

I hear screams down an alley up ahead, and they sound like they're coming from men. No one is around to listen to them, so I decide to take a look for myself. To my surprise, I see a hooded female over the brutally dismembered bodies of who I assume are sexual deviants. My eyes instantly know who it is. I can tell by the shape of her figure... And her butt...

Sally doing something like this is out of the ordinary, but I approve. It's what she needs, and people would complain that it's senseless violence, but Sally wouldn't kill them if they didn't try something. I lean against the wall and just watch her from afar. She's breathing heavy, and it's probably from adrenaline. She's done an intense act, but it's good she's not puking.

She showed no mercy to the James family, and I'm glad to see that she doesn't show mercy to people who are similar in nature to that disgusting family. She sheaths her blade and turns around to see me, and she flinches slightly, and after a second, she recognizes my figure too. "Cera? What are you doing here?" She sounds different... More confidence in her.

Sally has steeled herself for what's to come, and I'm glad to see her trusting her own power as I do. Now that she genuinely knows she's strong without me by her side, she'll be less dependent on me when we face her family. I'll be there to fall back on, but she can stand on her own and face them now.

A/N: Below this line, I'll be keeping Cera's player information. That way, I won't have to place it into the story above anymore. It takes about 180 words up.
