Book 3: Chapter 4: Email

Scarlet

I end up playing for the entire day until Blaze and I complete all of the beginner missions and therefore the event mission as well at about dinner time, with the two of us only taking a short break for lunch during that. And the man actually ends up being quite helpful during the missions. He seems to have designed his character with a pure offensive magical build, which is different from mine in that while I have magic I also have plenty of investment in physical. Something Tar once again finds amusing considering how similar it is to my stats and skills in reality.

Makes me wonder if Blaze is the same though. If his build in-game is the same as how he fights as a Guardian in reality, assuming he is a Guardian. Which Im pretty sure he is at this point, considering that he seemed to show more combat training and experience than me when we were fighting in the game. Something a civilian most likely wont have.

Either way I stretch not too long after getting out of the pod doc before heading over to the living room, just to pause as I remember to get dressed. So I turn back around, deactivating my magi-tech armor and heading towards my closet where I quickly get dressed and reactivate the armor again.

Right as Im about to leave my suite though, I find my terminal suddenly buzzing at me from my arm. And when I turn it off sleep mode and find it to be an email, I immediately stop walking, my hand hovering over the doorknob as I find who the email is from.

White.

I frown as I read the email, which is basically just asking if I would like to join her in a private booth during the Class I Team Primaries that start tomorrow. With Aria too, apparently.

Is she actually trying to make an effort now? Although, why is Aria gonna be coming too?

My frown grows deeper for a moment before I shake my head.

Might as well give it a chance. Itll give me time to ask more questions.

Plus I can see Aria.

I continue leaving my suite while locking it behind me.

Interesting.

If Im reading that right, it sounds like White isnt on good terms with my grandfather on her side of the family, who is apparently the one raising Aria instead of her father. But then again, from what Aria has told me of him, hes not the greatest in terms of parenting or grandparenting material. Since the guy literally charges the nine year old girl to stay home with him.

Which is why she goes on those commercial shoots and has her job as a child actress.

Honestly not sure if thats even legal, but considering who the man is, I doubt the government can do shit to him. Since he is one of the richest people in the world, even if hes not a Guardian himself. Just a man using certain Guardians skills to continue extending his lifetime long past when he shouldve died. Long past when a person using supplements wouldve died too.

He isnt harsh or abusive with her though. He simply treats their relationship as a contract of sorts. One he only accepts because shes family.

All in all, my family on my mothers side sounds screwed up in most every way possible.

Then again, my family on my fathers side is a bunch of demons. So

Theyre blood lycans at least, and they love family no matter what, Tar defends my fathers side.

Well, he still abandoned me.

He doesnt say anything in response.

Aria stays quiet as we pass by a few people in the hallway. People who immediately end up taking pictures of me and Aria that I am absolutely sure are going to end up on the internet within the minute.

We continue, or rather, I continue walking with Aria in my arms for a few more minutes before we finally arrive at a grand looking staircase, which apparently leads up to the private booths reserved just for the Knights of Humanity. And the place where me and Aria are going to be seeing White.

My birth mother.
