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

~~~(Location: Capital City Avalon, The Kingdom of Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 8:23 AM)~~~

Cera and everyone else shouldn't be arriving until tomorrow, and I'm going to start my tier-up quest. Jasmine is going to do hers while we're here. We can't help each other, meaning we'll be apart for a while. "I'm starving, and I know that breakfast here is amazing." She's not wrong. Most of the shops and restaurants are owned by Players.

Meaning the food from our world is being made here, and that's Jasmine's favorite kind of food. Since she's a Player now, she can do everything other Players can do. "You're paying for it this time, Jasmine. I'm not footing the bill anymore now that you can carry money in your Inventory." She rolls her eyes as we make our way downstairs and towards one of the tables.

There isn't much to do this morning other than eat, and after we're done with that, I'm going to start my tier-up quest. Meaning we'll be splitting up. "Since we'll both be doing our tier-up quests, everyone else might get here when we're in the middle of doing it. What do we do if that happens?" That's something I haven't thought about, but Jasmine has, apparently.

We can message each other now using the system, which means we'll always be in contact with each other. "If that happens, Cera will get a hold of us when he can't find where we're at. I heard tiering up takes a while, and it's a difficult process. So don't think it'll be a cakewalk." Everyone on their way here should know that I'm doing my tier-up quest.

After a minute, someone comes and takes our order, and now we're waiting for our food. Jasmine is being who she's always been, a slightly hyper girl when it comes to food. "What do you expect to encounter in your tier-up quest?" She asks a good question, and I have no idea. My Class is Legendary in grade. Battlemind has been an excellent Class for me.

Its duelist foundation has led me to learn a great deal about fighting with the blade. Utilizing speed and precision. I can't be competed with when it comes to these. Not even Cera is fast enough to keep up with me despite how overpowered his class is. "I don't know what I'm up against. All I can guess is it won't be an easy quest." I'm betting I'll die a few times before I can complete it.

I can't imagine how difficult Cera's quest is going to be. His Class is Divine in grade, and while that comes with a lot of power, it comes with a lot of challenges. Something he's already experienced. "I don't know what to expect in mine either... Maybe I have to go through a dungeon or fight a boss." That'd be nice if that's all I had to do.

Tier-up quests can take a long time and take you to many different places around Gaia. Cera and myself will probably be sent on long chases after bosses or items in different parts of Gaia. Not together, of course. "I'd love something that simple, but that seems too good to be true. We'll likely have to fight in large battles or undergo long challenges." On the bright side. Lots of EXP.

We'll be spending some time in Avalon, but Cera and I are likely to be dragged out of the Kingdom from the demands that come of our tier-up quests. "I'll be cheering that you get something easy. Mine won't be as hard as your or Cera's. My Class is only Legacy in grade." Jasmine will be on her own for a while, but I'm not worried about her anymore.

It's weird to think we'll be apart for so long. We've been traveling together for a long time now. "Are you excited to be off on your own? I'm not going to lie. I'm excited for you. You get to have your own journey now since I won't be there." She looks away from the direction of the kitchen and to me. She is trying to find the best response she can.

Jasmine reminds me a lot of Sally, but Sally doesn't remind me of Jasmine. It's a weird little thing going on there. "I think it's something that I need. You've been taking care of me for so long. I need to be on my own and fight for myself." I couldn't have said it better myself. Before we can continue talking, the food comes, and she's no longer interested in talking.

She's immediately inhaling the food on her plate, and I'm not so desperate for food at the moment. Taking it slow and enjoying the meal is something that I'd instead do. "You might as well go out into the pasture and bite into a cow." The steak she's eating is pretty juicy, and it makes it look like she's biting into a cow. Jasmine ignores me and continues to scarf food down.

My thoughts drift to what this entails for me, and that is a long time without anyone I'd call friends or family by me. Most would be sad at the prospect, but I'm glad that I'm getting a break from all this and having a chance to do something on my own. I haven't been able to do this since I first met Jasmine all those months ago.

Since I'm the wielder of Battlemind, there have been times when powerful people have tried to contact me. Having a Legacy Class grade and higher gives you special treatment. Something I haven't taken time to utilize. I wonder what kind of things I can get if I told people who I am. It would make things easier for my tier-up quest coming up.

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

~~~(Location: Royal Airship, Exiting The Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 9:00 AM)~~~

We've got about a day of travel left, and I've yet to hear anything from Hailey. I open my Player Interface and send her a message. Asking her what she plans to do before we get there, and the message is sent, and all I have to do is wait for a reply now. Sally is still in bed, and I'm looking out the window in our room and seeing the passing landscape.

The Border Wall of The Elven Kingdom was passed a bit ago, meaning we're officially out of The Elven Kingdom, and I'm glad that part of our journey is over. The Kingdom of Avalon is our next stop. I'm expecting some sort of grand arrival ceremony. People know I'm on this Royal Airship and that I'm on my way to The Capital City of Avalon.

Sally and I spent some time being physical last night, and it turns out we both really needed a release. That was the best night's sleep I've had since Zenith, and the comfort of the bed helped. We've been sleeping on floors and small beds since we started traveling with Helda. Now that it's done, we can enjoy better things. I know I'm going to.

Mom and dad are in their own room, and Marcus is in his own room. I don't know what the rest of my family did in their alone time. All I know is moments alone, and unheard are rare. "Cera... Please come back to bed... We're not needed for anything..." Sally calls to me from the bed. I'm tempted to join her, but I'm already wide awake and ready for the day.

There isn't much to do on this Royal Airship, other than luxury treatment and such things. Spending the day with Sally in our own room sounds good to me. "Alright, we're in no rush..." I make my way back to her, and she waits for me with a smile.
