~~~(POV: Hailey Adamo)~~~
~~~(Location: Farming Village Ludor, The Duchy of Bordossa, Brazilian Player Continent)~~~
~~~(Ti: 10:35 PM)~~~
A couple has been nice enough to let sleep in their guest bedroom for the night since I'm the one protecting the village. My quest is Rare in Grade, and all I have to do is defend the village for 5 days against attacks from the outside.
It's already been 4 days, and tomorrow will be the last and strongest wave. The first two days, it was monsters, and the last two days has been bandits. I don't know what the last day has in store, but I'm interested to see.
Cera and I are on good terms again. I hope. He's never been one to hold a grudge or stay angry at soone for very long.
It's one of his better qualities, in my opinion. And I've yet to hear anything from Sally, which is understandable after what I did. She may not ever forgive , but I can try my hardest to earn it.
She's beco a really good friend and soone that I can trust. To have destroyed that with the prank that was ant for Cera was never sothing I wanted to do. And it says a lot about that I think it's okay for Cera to go through sothing like that, but not anyone else...
There are tis when Cera and I are overly cruel and violent to one another. But this isn't the first ti sothing like this has happened. When we weren't on speaking terms. There have been a couple of tis in the past growing up.
Those never lasted too long, and we're always making sure that if it's really our fault, we apologize. Sothing that Mom and Dad made sure to hamr into us.
"Speaking of my family... It seems like everyone is having fun on our ho continent."
Technically, when The Ancients World was released, and all the Arican Players logged on, it was called the Arican Players continent. All major landmasses and large populations had sothing like this...
It was a brilliant design, in my opinion. The Chinese governnt banned the ga in their country, but that didn't stop people in china from getting the ga and playing it. I'm willing to bet that the Chinese Players that actually made it to this world from Earth are low.
But not the lowest. There are billions that have died because there wasn't enough ti to prepare for The Collision.
"The Players are starting to really connect more... From all over Gaia..."
I've heard rumors that the old leaders of Earth are gathering soon, and are to discuss things. Try to rally the remaining population. I don't think it's hopeless for that to happen, but there are many that don't want to return to the old ways of Earth.
Billions of Players have settled into this new world and are happy with it. And that's not going to change. I wonder what Cera would think of all this... It's interesting, but he's not that big on politics.
"Miss..."
I hear a small voice co from the doorway of the bedroom, and I lift my head to see a little girl. The daughter of the couple that's letting sleep here. She's holding a little stuffed teddy bear as she peeks around the corner.
I don't know why she's here, but she looks scared. I lean up and wave her over. She walks in, and her bare feet shuffle across the carpet.
"Hey... What's wrong? I could've sworn your parents put you to bed."
She sits next to on the bed and hugs her little friend a little tighter.
"I'm scared... Every day our village is attacked all the ti... But they haven't gotten into the city for the last few days... It makes wonder what they're planning..."
Most of the younger kids don't know that I'm handling the infestation of monsters and bandits. I take care of the coming attack each day before anyone in the village can see what's happening.
Only the adults know that I'm handling things. So seeing the break in the pattern is worrying so of the young ones. Why co to and not her parents? I don't know.
"There is nothing to be afraid of. After tomorrow, all the bandits and monsters will be gone forever. I promise."
I'm not the best when it cos to taking care of kids, and it's obvious since my words have no effect on helping her.
"How do you know, though... What if they're just staying away to co back and kill us all... What will we do if that happens..."
She's way more knowledgeable about the cruelties of this world than soone her age should be. But I shouldn't be surprised. The only door in the house is the front one, and the entire village is poor and run down.
"I'll tell you what... If you don't worry about it and go back to bed, I'll tell you a secret that no one else knows."
My voice is a whisper, and she looks at with so hope as she nods her head.
"I'm the one protecting your village. I've made sure that no bandits or monsters have bothered anyone. Do you think you can keep it a secret until tomorrow?"
She nods her head slowly and has a smile on her face. Her little legs move fast as she leaves my room and heads back to hers. I take a breath and pinch the bridge of my nose.
"It's always the kids that suffer..."

"Ha... Ah... Ah..."
I wake up out of breath again as I experience the sa nightmare I've been suffering through the past week. The scene of Cera and that girl are playing over and over in my head, and it's not going away.
After seeing that illusion, it ssed up, and I haven't gotten a good night's sleep in a long ti. Cera isn't to bla, and I don't have any bla for him. It's Hailey's fault this is happening.
Things are going to get worse between us before they get better. After what she made watch, I don't think that's ever going away for .
It's already early, and I don't know whether or not I should stay up. I take a deep breath and rub my forehead. It's never easy when it's just ...
If Cera were here, I know the nightmare wouldn't be here... I just know it... But since he's gone, I can't help thinking about it. I wish there was sothing I could do to get rid of the feeling and mory.
"No one's open right now... and because of my nightmares, I don't want to sleep... This sucks... I need a fix of Cera if I'm going to get better... But there is no way that's happening any ti soon."
The window lets in so cool air, and I decide to lean up and look out of it. ldro is small, and out of the way. In terms of importance to The Kingdom of Avalon, it pretty much has none. Yet people still call this place ho, which is interesting to .
People will make a ho anywhere as long as the ones you love are with you... I hope one day Cera and I can settle down... Start a family and live our days out in peace... Since Cera is an Angel, he's immortal in the sense he'll never die from old age.
And since I'm a pure-blooded elf, I'll live forever as long as I don't die. We're two immortals. It's a discussion that's too soon to have with Cera, but it's on my mind... It'll have to be after everything is done. When we're done adventuring, and there is nothing left to do.
But I don't see that being 100 percent true. There will always be sothing to do, and maybe we can start an adventuring family.
