The dungeon that Cera and Hailey took on is important to whatever they're doing in the Eleven Kingdom, and if they needed it, that's a good sign we need it to. From how long the elven security pursued us, it's safe to assume that outsiders aren't welcome. It could've also been the massive hole that Marcus blew in the Border wall...

Either way, getting whatever was in that dungeon is imperative to find our kids. According to the magic item, they're staying in a city by the name of Wessixs. That's all the information we're getting from the item. "Don't worry, we're a strong team, and we can accomplish anything if we set our minds to it." Chris is right about that...

We haven't met a dungeon or quest that we couldn't beat. It's not because our classes are super powerful either. It's because we move as one. Marcus is the main damage dealer, and Chris and I take care of defending and keeping monsters away from Marcus. The number of times I've had a mini heart attack from monster after my baby boy...

Thinking about it right now makes me livid and rabid!! "Yeah, I'm confident in our teamwork, but there isn't much I can really do, and it's driving me crazy... Marcus handles so much of the workload in the damage department... It makes me feel useless..." I don't know if this is how gamers are supposed to feel, but I can't know for sure... I've never been a gamer...

It could just be me... Chris rubs his thumb across the top of my hand, and the sensation calms me. Being with my other half... Being with Chris... He's given me more happiness than I could've ever imagined. "Don't worry so much. Taking your mind out of this place you're in mentally will take your stress away." That's obvious, but hearing it from another person has a greater effect.

Marcus grabs our attention, and we see what he's pointing at. A beautiful view comes in, and my mind is wiped blank. We all stand near the edge, and the vast forest continues into another mountain range. The peaks are high and covered by clouds. Snow is scaling down, and as it gets closer to the forest, it starts to disappear.

I move closer to Chris, and I lean my head on his shoulder. A piece of me wants to stay here and relax with Marcus and Chris, but those thoughts are quickly crushed by my drive to find my other two children. "Mommy, do you think that all of this has been explored before..." My youngest son's question isn't one I can answer, but my best guess is that it hasn't.

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

~~~(Location: Staying at an Inn in Wessixs, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 2:27 PM)~~~

My eyes are closed as I relax my body on this bed, but my mind is racing. It's been a while since I last heard from Helda and Melimora, and I'm starting to get a little worried. They must be having a harder time getting the things we need for getting into the capital than I thought they would. If they need help, we wouldn't know... They also didn't tell us where they were going...

We'd have no idea where or who has them, and if they have been captured by someone, then it's likely they know about us too... This is just the planner in me... The piece that makes sure that I have all the possible points covered... Even if I can't see them. "Stop worrying about them." My sister's voice comes from my side, and I turn my head and open my eyes to look at her.

Hailey and Jasmine are hanging out with Sally and me. Things got pretty boring, and now they're here to pass the time. They're all engaged in a competitive match of The Shattering... A card game that's exclusive to The Ancients World... To Gaia... One that I'd find fun myself with, I had a deck to play with. On the other hand, making Hailey mad isn't something I want to do right now.

She always gets a certain way when we play together, and it does bring out the competitive side of me. As much as I don't want to admit it. "It's been longer than I expected them to be... If they're not back by nightfall, then we'll have to go out looking for them." The cover of the night will help us. While we look like elves, we still don't know the customs and how to act.

She sighs and turns her attention back to Sally, who she's playing right now. Jasmine is watching the game between them with intensity. She's looking forward to playing the winner, despite having lost every game she's played in. She's improving, though, and it's making Hailey frustrated. "They're big girls. They can take care of themselves." It's not about that.

I know they can take care of themselves, and they're strong, but that doesn't mean that trouble doesn't come knocking. No matter how strong you are, no matter how prepared you are. Things can still go to shit faster than you can say fuck this. "They're our allies, Hailey. If they need our help, I'm going to help them." It's an uncharacteristic thing for me to say.

There is a difference, though. Most of the time, I won't go out of my way to help someone when it comes to allies and friends. I'll move mountains to help them, and I consider Helda and Melimora both allies and friends depending on how their moods are for that day. "So, go out and look for them. I'm taking a break for a change." Can't blame her for wanting that.

Sally looks nervous at the rising tension between Hailey and me, assuming that a fight might end up breaking out. "Why don't you take my spot for me, Jasmine. Cera and I will check around town for Helda and Melimora." She's quick to try to defuse the situation, but as she's standing, Hailey points at her and motions for her to sit down.

She looks at me for guidance, and I nod my head for her to do so. She sits back down and picks her cards back up. "Sally, if Cera wants to check for Helda and Melimora, he's doing it by himself. He needs to learn there are times that we need to wait." That's the pot calling the kettle black. I'd offer her the same advice in a similar situation.

Waiting until nightfall is my only option, and once it comes, I'm looking for them if they're not back yet. I might even get Leila and Freskra to help me. They'll know more about Wessixs than me. "Although, if you play me and beat me, I'll help you look for them." I turn on my side, away from Hailey, as her offer reaches me. I can feel her upset glare on my back.

~~~(POV: Helda Vora)~~~

~~~(Location: Wessixs, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 2:48 PM)~~~

This is harder than I thought it'd be... Most of my contacts in Wessixs have either left the city entirely or have driven their prices high enough to make a noble pop an eyeball in anger. "Where do you suppose we look now? Relozz is the last person that I know that might still be around..." Relozz... A scum of a person, and even worse of an elf...

Doing business with the parasite isn't something that I want to do, but I don't think I have any choice right now. Knowing him, he'll demand different forms of payment, but we might luck out, and he could be sane for once. Who am I kidding? Relozz is never sane. We'll need to be on our toes in there cause he's always got powerful guards with him.

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.
