Hailey and I are looking into the darkness of the forest, and she rests her head on my shoulder. Monts like this with my sister are rare, and when they happen, it ans she's in a headspace she needs help with. Everyone has monts in their life when they need soone to help them... Doing that for Hailey is my duty as her brother. She's my blood.
The campfire has a mild fla, and it's producing a warmth that I welco. Sally and I are unaffected by cold environnts. Her class prevents her from sustaining cold damage. My stats are too high to get affected by anything Gaia's natural weather can produce. "What will you tell mom and dad if we ever see them again..." She's asking the hard questions here...
Mom and dad will react differently than Hailey... How they'll respond has been on my mind for so ti now, and it's not like there are a lot of outcos. "I'm not sure they need to know anymore... I thought about it a lot and told myself I'd tell everyone eventually, but so things are better left hidden..." She's not going to argue after what I've revealed.
I know she regrets asking about my strange behavior and knowledge that I carry around. "Yeah... That seems smart... I'm not debating with you on this one, brother..." Her voice is getting heavier with exhaustion. We've both been up all night at tis. The cause of this sleepless night is stress. Sothing that we're both experiencing regularly.
It's nice that it's just the two of us right now. No one to get in the way of a needed ti of silence and conversation. "I trust you won't tell them... Hearing it second hand, or at all, will be bad..." She keeps silent, and I decide to take her silence as compliance. We've been doing this long before Marcus was born, long before things got bad for us on Earth.
The stars are slowly fading from the sky, mainly from the sun's arrival soon. While it's not light out, it's that weird ti of light before the sun rises. "Do you ever think about the people that died... The people that got dusted... I'm terrified that they've ended up sowhere far worse than us..." No, I don't think about that... It's not an idea I would entertain...
The dead are gone, and while it is my fault, and sohow I'll pay for it... I don't think about them... Or maybe I did? I don't rember anymore... "Would you hate if I said no? My actions led to the death of billions, but Earth was already dying. There wasn't much ti left... Maybe this was the best we could get..." She doesn't lash out or react violently.
She sighs and relaxes her body a bit. My eyes are focused in front of , so I can't see her reaction. "Cera, look at ." I turn my head, and Hailey has her chin on my shoulder and looks at . "I'll never hate you, and predicting and preventing an event like this can't be done by a normal person... If you did know, I know you would try to stop it..." Hailey is right about that.
If I knew about The Collision, I would've tried to stop it... Maybe not... Seeing the way the world was going and the ultimate fate of humanity, this was final salvation... Sothing to save us from our dood existence. "Do you miss any of your friends? I know you had so close ones before all this happened..." While Hailey had friends, only a few were close.
She doesn't answer, and I take that as a hint to drop the topic of conversation. "My friends, they're dead... None of them played gas... Thinking themselves too good for them..." People miss out on tuns of fun with that ntality... This ti it cost them their lives... "Where are Sally and you heading after we're done here?" That's sothing I've given a lot of thought to.
There are many options to choose from and quests that are yet to be finished... The first thing I need to handle is my tier-up quest in The Kingdom of Avalon. I'm still only tier 1, and I'll have tier 3 after I complete tier 2 and tier 4 right after 3... I'm far behind on my original priorities. "I'll have to ask Sally, but best guess at the mont is The Kingdom of Avalon." She lifts her head at that.
She might want to co along since she's a player to and it's a Kingdom made by the system for players to et and talk. Every player heads there to tier up to the 2nd tier level. After that, tiering up gets a bit hard. "You probably didn't account for in your plans... But I'd love to co with you guys..." Hailey knows that I would let her co with .
She's only saying this out of courtesy. I wouldn't mind the group just being Sally, Jasmine, Hailey, and ... Once this quest is over, I'm betting the rest of the people taking on this crazy quest with us will split up and go their separate ways. "You don't need to ask, but you already knew that. Don't just assu Jasmine wants to co with us, though." Jasmine might want to do sothing else.
Her desires for adventure and goals shouldn't be pushed aside to co with us, but I can't speak for her. Not that what I just thought is correct. She has so many choices given her new power. "She was telling she wanted to make a difference in the slave market. Shut it down forever..." That's a noble goal, and she shouldn't be held back if that's what she wants.

My arms fail to find the other half of , and at the missing of his person, I lean up and look around the tent. Getting my clothes is my plan, but first, I have to get the gunk out of my eyes. After getting everything on and prepared, I leave the tent and look around till I see Cera and Hailey near the campfire. Silently sitting... They talked about sothing serious.
At my light footsteps, they both look up and give fake smiles. Hailey looks particularly rough from lack of sleep and energy. Whatever they talked about yesterday has kept her up all night. "You two been out here all night?" I didn't even notice that Cera was gone, and that ans he made sure he was careful about getting out undetected.
Hailey remains quiet, and I look at Cera for an answer I'm not getting from the sister. "Yeah, we ca out here to talk around 5:00 AM... We've been discussing mories, thoughts, plans, and other things. Did you sleep alright? I know I kept you up for a while." He's sweet to be concerned about , but it's not about at this mont. It's about them.
As I sit next to Cera, I wrap my arms around him and give him a big hug. The best hug that I can provide. Before long, I do the sa for Hailey. Doing this just seems right. Comforting them sohow is all I can think of at the mont. "My brother isn't worthy of you." She hugs back, and we all can't help but chuckle at her words.
Soon, we'll be back on the move, and I'm getting nervous the closer we get to Greshina... The closer we get to my family... The family that condemned my mother and to a horrid life... I survived... She didn't...
