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

~~~(Location: Watching A Recording, The Continent of Alforza)~~~

~~~(Time: 2:14 PM)~~~

I don't know what to think specifically about. The capital of the Yelized is in the distance, and my mind is on that. The other subject on my mind is Rahab himself. But I need to get priorities straight. Learning from this recording is something he wanted.

"Are we supposed to go to the capital?"

Sally pulls me from her thoughts as she tugs on my arm and asks a question. Nothing else is happening, and I'd assume Rahab would want us to head into the capital from here.

There likely isn't much time before whatever is supposed to happen does, in fact, happen. From the description I read about Rahab when I Inspected him, it's said that he destroyed The Yelized Empire. Meaning he also destroys this place.

"Yeah, I'm guessing the place we need to be in the royal palace. That's where the leaders and military command are gathering. We don't know who all died at Kelizei, but it's safe to assume a lot did. In fact, I'd say everyone. Including the Emperor."

That's my train of thought with this. I grab Sally and launch off the ground and fly into the air. Heading toward the massive palace in the center of the capital city. We land and make our way inside. No one notices or sees us, of course.

We even walk through some people. And after a little bit of searching, we find a large conference room filled with people of noble status and military leaders.

At the head of the table is a young man with who I assume is his mother next to him. Likely the next Emperor since his Father died.

"Rahab has completely destroyed all other cities, towns, and settlements!! We need to evacuate the capital! It's the only hope for our people! The Empire is falling, and there is nothing we can do to stop it!"

Everyone quiets down as a nameless high-ranking military official yells his concerns across the room. The new Emperor takes a seat, and some do the same. Others take longer than they should.

My eyes are focused on the large hologram floating above the table. It's showing the ruins of cities. All of them were destroyed by Rahab. He's been systematically taking out all of the Empire. The fate of The Yelized Empire is known to me.

"We know our fate... Rahab won't stop until every last Yelizedite is dead. Sending the women and children away is our best bet. The men, we'll stay here. In the capital. Make a final stand and buy enough time."

The child Emperor beings to speak as the hologram continues showing the devastation Rahab is unleashing. The Yelized Empire has the might of dragons behind them, but not even those mighty beasts can stop Rahab.

Being The Last Leviathan is a testament to his strength and intelligence. His history, from the description I read, proves that.

"We're all in agreement, it seems."

One of the older men at this meeting stands and makes his way for the exit. Most are slumped in their chairs and looking defeated.

In the span of a couple of seconds, we're brought to a new place. One that's unfamiliar. The only thing that we recognize here is Rahab. It's a giant grassy plain, and blue skies dotted with clouds.

"What the hell..."

Sally points toward who Rahab is talking with. My blood runs cold as I see who it is.

It's me.

There are slight differences. Like white hair and a large silver-gold floating halo over the person's head. Over my head.

,m "Michael, are you certain destroying all of Yelized is the right course of action? As fun as it is, I don't see the end game."

The Angel that Rahab is talking to is Michael. The Father of my Class... But I look exactly like him... You could mistake us for each other. My mind is racing in a million different ways, and I can't lock down what to think about.

"This is necessary for the future, Rahab. My Son will eventually come to Alforza, and much of my own history is tied to Yelized. There are things he must not know, and getting rid of Yelized is the only way."

We can clearly hear both of them speaking even though they're an incredible distance from us. Sally holds onto me tightly. Worried about me, and unsure of how to proceed. She's not the only one. People would always say I looked like my Mom.

But now, seeing Michael for the first time, they're wrong... I look exactly like him...

"What does this mean..."

The question escapes from me with no particular destination. I feel like I need to get that question out of my lungs before I burn up from the inside.

We know The Ancients World is an actual world. One with Gods, monsters, and Dungeons. Humanity believed it to be just a game, but that was proven wrong. Everything here is as real as us. Meaning, Michael is in that same boat.

Before anything else can happen, the scene changes back to the view we had of the capital from before, only this time. Rahab is attacking it. Letting out powerful blasts of power, and leveling the landscape with stray shots.

"Cera... What do we do..."

I don't know... I honestly don't know what to do...

"I'm lost here, Sally... I've just seen something I wasn't ready for... Does this mean I'm from Gaia and not Earth?"

It's been on my mind since I laid my eyes on Michael. If I'm somehow originally from here, and my entire life with the Adamos is fake, then I don't know what to think. They were baby pictures of me, for God's sake...

My Mom told me stories of raising me, and I remember growing up with Hailey and Marcus...

Wait...

The Lore for the Divine Class in my possession stated that I was taken from my Moms possession at birth... Was I given to the Adamos? Were they're memories faked?

That's also impossible... There were even pictures of me at the hospital when I was firstborn. Where my Mom held me for the first time.

"I'm sorry..."

That's all I get from Sally... I get it... It's all anyone can really say, given what I just learned. It's not something that you witness every day. This means another thing.

"Does this mean my real name is Raduerial?"

I'm wondering about this now... This is almost proof that I'm connected to The Ancients World. That I'm apart of this from the beginning. When it wasn't a game. I don't know. It's all so much to go through.

~~~(Time: 2:31 PM)~~~

Cera is standing silently next to me, and I'm not sure if there is anything I can do to help him. My eyes shift to the destruction Rahab is creating in the distance. I can only imagine how many people he's killed. I'm still a little shocked.

Arch-Angel Michael looked exactly like Cera. It's uncanny... Maybe I should be saying Raduerial... That's his name. At least, I think that's his name. He has so many now that I don't know what else to think.

I can't imagine what his parents and family will think when he tells them... If he tells them...

"Is this something we're only going to keep between us?"

The implications of my question are obvious enough for him to understand. I get that some secrets should stay just that. A secret. I've met his Mom, his Earth Mom. And she's kinda overprotective and a little obsessive when it comes to Cera.

"Let's not talk about that right now..."

He doesn't sound like his usual self... He actually sounds sad... There have been so many times he's helped me... I should be able to help him... But I just can't, I don't know how...
