We glide at an incredibly fast speed. The trip today has been a really peaceful one, and the warm weather is makes traveling like this all the more enjoyable.

"Once we get to Zenith, please stay close to me, Sally. I don't know how much it's changed since I was there last.

" We don't have to shout since she is relaxing her head right on my shoulder, and her face is right against mine. She has been much more affectionate since last night. I didn't know that being physical in that regard can have such an effect.

My dream was pretty crazy, and I'm actually looking forward to the next time I have one. The dream was so close to the best part, to the point of entry. I woke up before the dream could get that far.

"I always heard that Zenith was a rough place, and ever since the war in this country ended, there have only been improvements.

" Sally is much more informed about Gaia than I am. She is a native to these lands, after all. I knew quite a bit coming back from the future, but not that much. Only enough to get me to the power I'm at now.

Zenith is sure to have changed, but I don't know by how much and if it's good or bad. Jackson is a good man with smart ideas. I can see him making changes, but not enough to repair all the damage Harold caused during his time as the king.

"We'll have to ask around for my mom. People will know where we can find her since Jackson gave her the rank of Countess.

" I remember the first time I told Sally I knew kings and creatures like Fenrir. Now that my mother is nobility, her life is so much harder. While she is safer, she now has to deal with the worse kind of people.

I doubt anyone other than Jackson and Charles know's Amelia is my mother, and that's still too many people knowing about our connection. On the other hand, if the church of the dark ones ever finds out, then they'll use her to get to me. So our connection as mother and son needs to be well guarded.

"How does it feel now that you are nobility in Zenith too.

" I find her question a little funny, but not enough to make me laugh. I'm nobility in the Overworld since my grandfather is the single most powerful being in existence. As well as my father being the greatest and bravest warrior in the Overworld.

These thoughts lead me to this whole situation with The Old Gods and what they are planning. Ever since they were released when I got my mana aura, I haven't heard anything from them. Fenrir had to leave Gaia and return to Overworld to discuss what has happened. I know absolutely nothing when it comes to these said, Old Gods. All I can do is wait for something to happen, and that is one of the worse situations to be in. While in my thoughts, a world announcement goes off.

World-wide Announcement: The Pope, Alexander Leopold, has stepped down! A new event will be activated, and every player has a chance to win this illustrious legendary class! 24 hours from now, a global event will occur, and all peoples of Gaia will participate!

I'll admit, this is surprising. Normally the seers will select a new Pope, but the existence of the system has changed things. It's safe to say that the system has the same power and authority as a god. It must be running things for the players and the events that have changed Gaia. This is all a theory, of course.

"Does this mean the church will stop looking for you? I know how much you hate being pursued by people you want nothing to do with.

" Sally nails it right on the head.

This doesn't change any plans for me, but billions of players will be looking forward to this upcoming event, and who knows what will happen. I bet a very powerful NPC will win it, and that's fine with me. The church and its politics are no problems of mine.

"This doesn't change any of our plans, Sally. Once we are done in Zenith, we'll go after all the men that hurt you. You'll get the revenge you deserve to get. I promise this on my life.

" I want Sally to feel like she can do anything she wants now.

She has the power to do it, and now she just needs to think like it. She is still hurt and healing from all the abuse she suffered, and I'm going to be here to lean on when it becomes too hard to stand. Because it will at one point, she'll feel weak and helpless seeing her torturers. When those moments happen, I'll be there.

"I really love you, Zern... My life wouldn't be this great now without you... You have shown me a world that I didn't know existed... One with love in it...

" My heart clenches, and my stomach turns at those words. She has suffered so much, and no one helped her. I want to check on something and see if any of my other titles do anything. I pull up my player interface to check.

Some of the titles have unique effects, like demon slayer, nothing at the same level as my divine title. It has so many crazy effects on it, making it unconventional to use it in a public place. In the end, it's just smarter not to use it unless there is a need for its special active skills. I want to also check on The Witness and read the information on it again.

The Witness

Description: A legendary sword that has been around since before recorded history, all the greatest and most influential people have wielded this blade. Empires have risen and fallen to, and for, this blade. It has been held by kings, queens, emperors, and empresses. Along with Sword Saints of unparalleled power and recognition. The Witness is the most powerful of the one-handed swords on Gaia. There is no blade better to wield. The construction of The Witness isn't one know to all. Only a select few know its origins. It was crafted from the same divine metal as Durandal, Excalibur, and Caliburn. They are considered siblings since they were made from the same metal ore.

New Information: The blacksmith that created The Witness is no other than Wayland himself. Out of all the swords he created, The Witness plays a special role. While warriors could wield it, its true power would be revealed when The Son of Arch-Angel Michael finally claimed it.

More information will be revealed once you tier up.

I've come to learn that The Witness has far more potential than I ever realized it had. So it'll be with me for the long run. There is probably no sword on Gaia that can compete with it. I stop focusing on all this stuff and just focus on enjoying the calm flight with Sally.

Cera and Sally continue to fly and make their way to Zenith, and as this is going on. There is chaos among the player base at the recent announcement. There are players all over in their little parties or giant guilds talking to each other. Out of all the players, only a few are meeting to discuss this. It's the top guild leaders meeting in a city by the name of Geomare. In the country of Harole. The speaker at this meeting is Wilted Rose to discuss transpiring events.
