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

~~~(Location: The City Of Jaerey, The Kingdom Of Laasir, The Islands Of Haestar)~~~

~~~(Time: 10:21 AM)~~~

Sally and I appear in a flash of light outside the City Of Jaerey. This was the first time we got to use my new Skill, and I already know it's going to be one of my favorites. However, the time difference between Maero and Jaerey is about 11 to 12 hours.

Meaning we're around 12 hours back on the clock, and right now is when we'd be getting to bed. Instead, it's morning here in Jaerey. Meaning we're stuck staying awake.

Before I can think or say anything, my ears are filled with the sound of Sally throwing up the dinner we ate earlier. I turn around to see her on the ground, green in the face. I feel fine, but maybe teleportation is different for people that aren't me.

After all, the Skill is called Angelic Teleportation. Perhaps when other people who aren't Angels are affected by the Skill, they'll be physically hurt. For example, heaving your guts out.

"BLAAAAARGG!!"

She's not stopping anytime soon, and she looks like she could really use a hand. I join her on the ground and place my hand on her back. Gently rubbing it. After a couple of minutes of dry heaving, she looks at me with red eyes.

"If that's what'll happen every time you use your teleportation Skill, I'll have to make sure I don't eat beforehand. That was the sickest I've ever felt in my life... My head was spinning, and my stomach wanted nothing more than to be empty..."

We eventually make it to the front gates of Jaerey, and I can see the stunned expressions of everyone looking at me. They're all staring at my halo, and I'm getting multiple notifications that Players are using Inspect on me.

Sally follows closely behind as we approach the main guard. He's at a loss for words as I stand in front of him. It's impossible for me to hide my identity anymore due to this halo, but that's okay.

"My companion and I were hoping to gain entry into Jaerey."

The man gulps as I speak. He steps aside and motions for me to walk through, and there are some complaints from Players from the line that are still waiting to get in. As the guards handle them, Sally and I take our first look at the city.

Hailey didn't do it much justice in the looks department. I know a lot about The Ruins Of Tasdir, which are near here, but I've never learned much about Jaerey or The Islands Of Haestar. They're part of The Laasir Kingdom.

Since it's so far south from my original spawning continent, I didn't take the time to learn much about this place. Never thought I'd be coming this way in this life, either. Hailey and Marcus have ensured that I find my way here, though.

"My siblings will be at the Arena where the tournament is being held. It'll be impossible to find them unless we meet at a location we all know."

I don't want to spend a bunch of energy and time trying to find my siblings in the Arena stands. So I think it's more fitting to just wait for them at a place where we can find each other.

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

~~~(Location: The City Of Jaerey, The Kingdom Of Laasir, The Islands Of Haestar)~~~

~~~(Time: 11:04 AM)~~~

I get messages from my brother that he'll be waiting for Marcus and me at an Inn called Hawks Talon. I know where the place is, and I'm looking forward to seeing my brother. However, I'm not able to leave yet.

We're still gathering information about our potential opponents. We're getting a good look at true power combat. Something we didn't practice before the tryouts since we were so focused on getting our leveled-out combat better.

"Do you think it'll be a good idea to bring Kelly and Rianna to meet up with Cera?"

My brother asks me a question I've been thinking about already. Said girls in question have left to get a better view of the fights going on.

Leaving Marcus and me alone. Despite the events between Marcus and Kelly, I can be sure that he still finds her constant chatter annoying. It's a good thing the girl has a wonderful voice, or he'd have left her in the dust as soon as their match was over.

"Probably not. They're big fans of Cera, and they'll probably just get in the way. But we can't keep them away from him forever. They'll find out he's here sooner or later, if not already. Word is spreading that a guy with a halo is staying at an Inn here."

That's the simple explanation. In reality, people know that Cera is in town. I can only guess when our two companions will find out where he is.

It's tempting to leave now and avoid the chaos that my brother's presence will bring. Many Guilds leaders will want to meet him and talk. While they know it's impossible to recruit him to their guilds, that doesn't mean they can't have a relationship with Cera.

They've tried to do the same thing with Marcus and me. It's an annoying thing to happen, but I know a lot of powerful Players that could help me in the future, so it's not all bad.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

He doesn't need to say anymore. We both stand up and make our way for the exit. Leaving Kelly and Rianna to watch the tournament for however long they will before news reaches them too.

It doesn't take us long to reach The Hawks Talon. It's a cozy little Inn and one that gets some decent business in all the chaos with so many Players in town. I'm surprised they have any rooms left. We walk up to the front counter, and the Innkeeper looks at us.

"We're here to see Slayer Zern and Saliandra Orvello. They know we're here."

The man raises an eyebrow. Seeing the confidence in our claim makes it convincing. He presses a button on the bar, and a magical circle appears.

"Angel Zern, I have two people here claiming they've come to see you. Do you know who they are?"

There is silence on the other end of the magic circle, and the man's scrutiny only rises with the silence.

"Let me guess. One is an okay-looking girl with blue eyes. And a 12 to 13-year-old boy with her?"

I can't help feeling a wave of anger and frustration. Cera knows the perfect times to take blows at me. Knowing now isn't a time I can retaliate with some comeback. I'm a beautiful woman, and I know it.

"Yep, average-looking and young boy. Shall I send them up?"

That anger is turning into hate, and fast.

"Go ahead, I know them. But don't trust the girl. She's got an issue with taking things that don't belong to her."

Okay, that's it!!

"It was one time, you jackass!! I was 16, and I didn't have the money for the makeup I wanted!!"

He's talking about the time I was caught shoplifting.

The Innkeeper looks at me with extra diligence, knowing I was caught for theft. I can't help going a little red in the face from embarrassment. I have my standards, and I don't like my worst moments being brought to light.

He turns off the magical device and looks at me.

"He's on the second floor, room 13."

Marcus and I make our way for the stairs.

"I'll be watching you, miss. Don't think about getting sticky fingers around here."

Oh, God.

Marcus and I make it to our brother's room, and I don't even knock on the door. I swing it open and make a straight path to my brother. His arrogant and victorious smirk just gets on my nerves.

"You've gotta be kidding me!? Average looking!!? That's the dumbest thing you've ever said!!"

Cera and I are always like this. I love it and hate it at the same time.
