Time has really flown by, and I'm so glad that we can finally leave this place. The airship should be here within the hour, and we'll be heading for The Kingdom of Avalon. The Player Kingdom and everything that I could hope for in a place as my next stop in this new life. My tier-up quests are in Avalon, and Hailey will get hers done before I get mine.

She's already there and having a blast with Jasmine, and I'm super jealous that they can be there, and I have to stay here. But at the same time, it's a good thing that I'm here since mom and dad need this time. They've been searching for us for a very long time. "I'm looking forward to the trip with you." Sally takes me out of my thoughts, and I try to clear my head. 

I'm hoping for some fun alone time with her in private quarters, and I'm not going to come out of our room until we're actually at Avalon. "Yeah, I'm looking forward to it too... But not for the same reasons you are..." She catches the hidden meaning behind my words and has to look away just a bit before coming back. We're alone right now, but not in the same way. 

As much as I'd like to do that sort of stuff right now, there isn't a really good time. Mom and dad are waiting downstairs along with Marcus, and they're just waiting on us now. "It's too bad we don't have enough time to do anything..." Sally responds in a confident manner, and I find her sexier for it. I love that confident Sally. It's the best version of her.

Sally has been enjoying the new advantages of being a Player, and I've taught her everything she needs to know and more about what she is now. From what I know, she's one of the first NPCs to become a Player. She got to skip the whole trial thing, and that's something Jasmine had to do. Jasmine handled it spectacularly, in my opinion. 

Facing a hard and tragic past like that isn't easy, and it's different for everyone. Sally got over hers by taking revenge on the people who've wrong her, and I changed everything about my life with a wish. "Don't tempt me... I might ignore all of them down there and take you back to the sheets... The only difference being you'll be naked this time around." Her grin has a red tint with her cheeks.

She moves closer to me and wraps an arm around my shoulder, and stands on her tippy toes. She leans her head closer to my ear. "I'm not going to stop that from happening... I'll never reject you, Cera..." That's the last straw with me, and I pick her up in my arms. She lets out a joy-filled squeal and hugs me as I carry her.

Cera and Sally should've been up by now, and I can't help wondering where they're at... It's not like Cera to be late for anything. They have time before the airship arrives, but I still want to talk to him. I turn to head for the door leading to the hallway that will take me to them, but a hand on my shoulder stops me. I turn and see Christian.

He gives a half-smile and pulls me closer. He only gives me that type of face when we're going to talk about something I'm not going to like. "How about we leave Cera and Sally alone, sweetie. They probably want alone time..." At first, my own denial tries to refuse the process of his words, but it doesn't stop it for long.

The inferring that Cera and Sally are being... Intimate... That isn't what I want to think about in the slightest. "But... But... He's..." I try to find any and every excuse I can for why Cera wouldn't do that with Sally, but I can't bring myself to do it. Sally is a good girl, and someone Cera holds dearly. It's natural that they would be doing something like that.

Even though I hate that my oldest son is now doing those things, it's also a good sign. It shows responsibility and a conscious choice. "He's not your little baby boy anymore... They're doing adult things together, and us getting in the way does no good for anyone..." I don't hate it when Christian is right, but I hate that he's right about this.

Cera is a man now, and he'll do things that a man wants to do with a woman. Sally is a fine choice and someone that Cera has chosen. "Yeah... Yeah, you're right... Why do you have to be right..." He pulls me in closer and into a hug. He runs his fingers through my hair in an attempt to calm me. I'm not that bad right now, but the reality is setting in. Cera does those things with Sally.

Soon, Marcus will start wanting to do that with girls. In a few years, but that will fly by in no time. And when that happens, I'll lose my youngest child, and it'll be just Christian and me. "I'm glad that you see that... Now, think about something else... Like what Avalon will look like..." I appreciate his attempts to distract me, but they do no good.

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

~~~(Time: 8:02 AM)~~~

The capital city Avalon is more spectacular than anything I've ever seen in my entire life. It has a steampunk design, and it's not just the capital that looks this way. It's said that a lot of places look like this here in The Kingdom of Avalon. "Wow... Every time I look up, it's hard to look away." We've been here a little over an hour, and we've just been exploring. 

There is so much to do and so little time to do it before Cera and everyone else gets here. "The first thing we need to do is get my tier-up quests done. I have two of them, and I want them finished by the time everyone gets here." Jasmine nods her head along as I talk, and I doubt she's actually listening to me. Tiering up is something I have to do alone.

Jasmine and Sally will both have to tier-up here in Avalon, meaning Jasmine will handle the one she has here too. "You know that you have a tier-up quest here too, right?" She looks at me confused and tries to figure out what I mean. "All Players have to come to Avalon to reach tier two. Including NPCs made Players." Realization sets in, and she lets out a groan.

Jasmine has already been through a lot getting to this point, and now she has to face another big challenge on her own. "This sucks!! Can we please take a break!? We just got here, and I'm so sick of grinding for this new Player lifestyle!! I want a breeeakkk!!" She sounds like an overly stressed teenager, which she shouldn't be. But who am I to judge? I used to act like that.

Her quest will be located in a different place than mine, and that means we have to split up. "Remember, use your map to find the marker of where you need to go for your quests. It should show you where to go to tier-up. I'm heading off to do mine, and you better do the same." She slumps forward and looks totally defeated.
