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

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

~~~(Time: 11:22 AM)~~~

My sister looks at me with the same frustration I'm used to seeing when I start pushing her buttons. But after a couple of seconds in silence, I stand up with a smile. She loses her expression and smiles too.

I make my way over, and we wrap each other in a hug. Hailey and I have always been close. Closer than anyone else in the family.

"It's good to see you again, sister."

The last time we saw each other was a good bit ago, and it was a long stretch of time I didn't know what Hailey or Marcus were doing.

"It's great to see you too, bro. I can't say I've missed the games between us, but I can't say I haven't missed them, either. It's always more fun when we're together."

We pull out of our hug, and Hailey heads for Sally. My attention turns to Marcus, and I can see a smug grin on his face.

It's the type of grin that you only get doing one specific thing. I'm sure Mom and Dad wouldn't approve or agree. But it's his life, and if he wants to start doing that with girls. That's his decision. I make my way over, and I can see he's already grown.

"Well, little brother. All I can say is I hope you don't regret it."

He just rolls his eyes at the stupidity of my remark.

Yeah, no guy regrets doing it. Not when they can comprehend what sex is, and what it entails. It's something that you won't regret when you have it. And it seems that Marcus is happy with the girl he's done it with.

I can't tell if he plans to make it last between them. Maybe it's something they both agreed to do, and not have anything else. I'd be impressed if Marcus could get that kind of thing out of a woman.

They have a tendency to catch feelings and seek more. I can only hope for my little brother that he doesn't suffer from the same issues with the girl he's with.

"Yeah, no way in hell I'm regretting that any time soon. Just don't tell Mom and Dad. They will never know. They won't be able to accept the fact that I'm barely past 12, and I've already had sex."

Nothing in the universe can make me intentionally open that can of worms. Mom would... Well, I don't know exactly what she'd do. All I know is it wouldn't be anything short of nuclear.

We make our way to the table in our room and join Sally and Hailey. I'm glad my girlfriend and sister are getting along again. It took a while, but Sally forgave Hailey. It's made things easier for me, that's for sure. I don't have to pick sides now.

"So, tell me all about this tournament going on?"

This didn't happen in the time I came from. Back when The Ruins Of Tasdir were explored, it was just a group of random Players than banded together. After information got out on what they found, guilds made their way here.

There was no event like this to determine who would go and not. It's certainly strange. I don't understand why Players aren't allowed to enter The Ruins Of Tasdir. Nothing should be stopping them, but funnily enough.

The system is stopping Players from taking it on at the moment. It must be due to some function exclusive to The Ruins Of Tasdir.

"It's the last step to determine who gets better chances a great rewards from The Ruins Of Tasdir. We've already qualified. At this point, it's just to see where we stack in terms of power."

Yeah, I heard that Plutonium is in Jaerey. He was a famous Legendary Class Player during the old future. It's nice to see that he's still found a way to get the Class despite all the changes that occurred due to my decisions.

Hailey seems to have a pretty good grip on what's going on here based on the answer she just gave. All I can really assume at this point is she wants some of what I know about The Ruins Of Tasdir. Which I can give.

"You guys seem to be doing just fine without me, and I'm glad to hear that everything is going so well. It'll be some time before Sally and I are needed back in Maero. It should be around a week. Think we can get everything handled here by then?"

I asked Taaro what the time frame would look like before any final decisions were made about The Regaliance Kingdom. The earlier is a week. So, I've got time to help Marcus and Hailey. Not to mention, whoever they've got with them.

I'm sure if Marcus has someone with him. Hailey has a friend too. It's been a long time since I've seen Hailey with a boy. I'm hoping that she's got someone. I know it's not my business, and it's weird for me to say this.

But she needs to get laid. She's always taking her frustration out on me when I'm around. Yelling, pranking, and getting my attention. She needs a boyfriend so she can do that with him.

I'm tired of it.

"Hailey and I have been able to handle any problems here on our own. What we really need help with is information on The Ruins Of Tasdir. Sis said that you knew things about it that other Players didn't. She shared with me what you told her about The Ruins."

Marcus is the one to respond this time. I'm glad that Hailey has been kind enough to keep the truth about me from him. I know that I can always trust my sister, no matter what.

"I know plenty about The Ruins Of Tasdir. She's already shared with you about the three Legendary Classes that can be found in the location. However, there are other things you all must know."

They lean forward, ready to absorb the information.

"However, before we get into that. I want to meet the people my siblings are traveling with. Ain't no way in hell am I letting such a chance to embarrass either of you slip by."

The eagerness to learn the information disappears with the first word. It then grows to anger as I finish speaking. I stand up without letting them protest, and I make my way toward the door. Sally is close behind.

We both turn to look at Hailey and Marcus. They have major looks of doubt and worry. Which means they have reason to be embarrassed about who they're traveling with.

This is perfect.

~~~(Time: 11:46 AM)~~~

Traveling through the streets of Jaerey is much more difficult due to the halo floating about Cera's head. Marcus and Hailey weren't all that curious or affected by it. Which is strange, considering everyone else it. There is still time I'm drawn to it.

"You weren't wrong about there being a lot of people in town. The Player population has only seemed to rise the closer we've gotten to the Arena, which makes sense."

Hailey and Marcus are walking on either side of Cera. I've taken up the back at this point. Cera and I have never seen this many Players in one location before. It didn't take long for word to spread he was in town.

"Yeah, just wait. I promise that you're going to be hassled by the Big Guilds. They always want to talk to powerful Players like us."

Marcus isn't wrong. That's one thing Cera doesn't like dealing with. But, now it's something that we'll have to deal with regularly thanks to the halo above his head.
