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

~~~(Location: Outside, searching)~~~

~~~(Time: 9:17 AM)~~~

Nothing, absolutely nothing! We've been searching inns all over the city for a few hours now, and there are no signs or clues to where Hailey and Jasmine might be. The only thing I can think of is where she would search for me, and I like isolation and places that aren't traveled to often.

"We're going to have to change up our game plan, huh?

" Sally already knows where my head is at.

This is something that makes me madder the longer I'm stuck doing it.. Mainly since it's my fault, we're stuck searching for each other. I didn't make any plans for how to meet up or how to find each other when she got here.

"Yeah, I got some more ideas on where she could be, time to change of tactics.

" We leave the inn we're currently in and start walking down the road.

The roads are packed, and there are tons of players looking for people to take on local dungeons. The less traveled and occupied parts of the city are near the walls on the northern end.

"Make sure you don't lift your hood for anything, Sally. We're going to a bad part of town.

" She nods her head and makes sure her hood is extra secure on her head.

The part of the city we're heading to is full of less than savory individuals that'll be more than aggressive after seeing a girl as beautiful as Sally.

"Do you think she's changed anything about her looks or clothes? What if you can't recognize her?

" The points Sally is bringing up are good ones, but I doubt she's changed her gear since the last time I saw her.

What I'm worried about is how long it's going to take to find each other. It adds fuel to my anger at myself that we have to go to these shady places in the city. The thought of Sally being uncomfortable or looked at in a vile way makes my insides boil.

"Once we get to the part of the city we're heading to. I want you to be on guard.

" I'm not going to be overprotective. She's strong.

I know she's not going to let anything bad come her way. She has the power to kill anyone in this city. The legacy class she has speaks for that.

"Don't worry. I'll make sure you don't have to worry about me.

" I have faith in her power and fighting abilities. So I'm not going to be an overbearing and clingy boyfriend. She's an adult, and I'm going to treat her like one.

Of course, if things get too much for her. I'll step in and help, but there aren't any NPCs that are strong enough to hurt her anymore. Not any in this city.

"Enough chit-chat. We've got a slum to check out.

" That's the best way I can describe the place we're going to. It's not a place that people would stay if they had a choice. I would if I were alone, but that's different, though.

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

~~~(Location: Outside, searching the slums)~~~

~~~(Time: 9:45 AM)~~~

These slums aren't a place that a player would stay, and the only reason Cera would is that it's isolated. Thinking about it, he wouldn't come to a place like this, not with Sally traveling with him.

"I can't believe open streets can smell so bad!

" Jasmine has been suffering from the rank odor coming from the overflow sewers.

Heard a rumor that this part of the city doesn't have maintenance to its magical devices to get rid of the sewage, and it's slowly piling up under the streets.

"You're going to have to tough it out until we're done checking all the likely places he'd be. Once we're done here, we can get to a better part of the city.

" The smell is slowly getting to me too. I wish I had the foresight to bring a mask.

The few people that are here aren't giving us friendly looks, and that's cause we stick out. We've got good gear, and we're not in the same filthy condition as everyone else. The men's stares are what's bothering me. They can't take their eyes off us.

"Hailey... I'm uncomfortable with this...

" She doesn't have to tell me. Given her past, these are familiar looks to her.

She moves closer to my side, and she keeps a hand on the handle of her blade.

"Nothing is going to happen to you. I'm betting they can see there is a difference in power between them and us.

" All the system notifications of being inspected tell me this, and I know Jasmine is experiencing the same thing. She doesn't have the system to tell her, but she can still feel being inspected.

Some of the men are following behind us and keeping their distance too. I have half a mind to turn around and kill them all, but the risk to Cera and Sally's mission stops me. If I get the eyes of the higher-ups in the Elven Kingdom on me, it'll jeopardize the cover that we currently have. Off in the distance, I can see a taller hooded figure standing next to a shorter feminine one.

What gives their identity away is the way the male figure is standing. It's the same way my brother does. A part of me is hoping it'll be this easy, and we don't have to spend any more time in the slums or other parts of the city. We slowly make an approach and keep up appearances, not jumping the gun. Jasmine doesn't know who she's about to meet.

~~~(POV: Saliandra Orvello)~~~

~~~(Location: Slums)~~~

~~~( Time: 10:02 AM)~~~

The amount Cera has paid for information isn't worth it. These idiots don't know anything about Hailey. Cera is getting more frustrated the longer this goes on.

"Cera?

" Before Cera can ask another question to the man in front of us, a female voice comes from behind us. One that I'm familiar with, and I can't stop the smile from spreading on my face.

We both turn around and we two hooded females. I look at the shorter one and the only features I can make out with her hood on are black hair and a small spread of freckles.

"Talk about fortunate timing, Hailey. I was about to ditch searching these slums for you.

" The tone in Cera's voice is one I only hear him have with Hailey.

She chuckles and lightly slugs his shoulder.

"What took you guys so long anyway? I expected you a few days ago, but since it's taken this long I'm guessing you took some sort of detour.

" Hailey lightly nods her head, but before she can respond. The man we were just talking to gets a little pissy that he's not received the rest of his payment yet.

He gets mad and starts flailing his arms around, and shouting threats. In an instant, Cera grabs the man's neck and lifts him off the ground with one hand. He's choking on his words and can barely breathe. If Cera wanted to, he'd kill him.

"When I let you go, you're going to run as fast as you can. Understand?

" He quickly shakes his head and Cera lets go of him.

As soon as his feet touch the ground, he's off and heading around a corner into an alleyway. Cera turns back to Hailey for an explanation of his question.

"We decided to take a stop off at a dungeon that rewarded a legacy class. Jasmine is now the wielder of The Last Wish legacy class.

" I've never heard of such a class, and Cera's expression can't be seen right now.

Knowing him, he probably knows about the class and everything about it.

"It's nice to meet you, Jasmine. I'm Cera Adamo, and this lovely lady is Sally. I've heard some interesting stories about you from Hailey.

" He reaches over and gently shakes her hand and I do the same. It's nice to finally meet the girl that Hailey's been traveling with. She's like me... An ex-slave.
