~~~(POV: Hailey Adamo)~~

~~~(Location: Camp near The Road to The Capital, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 11:25 PM)~~~

I'm all cried out now, and Cera seems to be too... Getting the pain you bury out needs to happen eventually. If you don't, you'll be eaten by it.

"God... The last time I cried this hard was when mom died...

" Cera speaks out of nowhere, and he runs his hand up and down his face. Clearing up the wet marks from his tears and shaking off the look he was hiding from me.

Cera doesn't cry... The few times I've seen him cry in my life, it was from serious problems... It hurts to see him like this... Vulnerable...

"Yeah... I'm glad that you did let the pain out... I know I needed to take some time to cry... I'm grateful that you're comfortable enough around me to do so...

" I don't know everything that Cera's gone through, but the few things I've heard haunt my mind...

He stands up from his spot, and in an instant, his wings appear, and they have that amazing golden glow. They stretch out, and I can't help feeling a little intimidated by them. The light of the campfire shines onto his wings, further magnifying their beauty. His temporary elven looks make him look like something truly divine. I'm curious as to why he's taken them out.

His body pops and cracks as he stretches a little, and I see him looking at an invisible screen. I know he's looking at something. I just don't know. I see him tap on the air, and he turns to me.

"Do you want to go for a ride? I've marked this location on the map so I can find my way back.

" My stomach churns and lets out groans of protest at the mere memory of flying on his back again.

Traveling across an ocean from the player continent took its toll on me, and I'm not sure I can handle flying anymore.

"Not really, Cera... The thought of going through all that again makes me a little sick, and I don't want to actually experience it again.

" He smirks a single time and turns his head away. Walking to an opening in the camp.

He flexes his body and slightly squats, and in the next second, he's launched off the ground, and the wind produced blows my hair back. His figure quickly reaches the clouds, and he levels out. Heading in a different direction from where we came and where we're going.

"Taking a flight must be the way he clears his head...

" I'm not a fan of flying anymore...

Once, I was jealous of his ability to fly, but being exposed to winds and pressures made the feeling disappear quick. He can have that ability all he wants. My attention is taken from the approaching footsteps of Sally, and she's looking off in the direction Cera went.

"I'm not going to ask what you two talked about, but please tell me he's going to be okay...

" Her voice is a little shakey.

She's probably never witnessed Cera in such a state, and I figured she was spying on us.

"He'll be fine, just needed a flight to clear his head... Something to take his mind off his problems...

" Sally makes her way over to me and sits next to me. Wrapping her arms around me, and I can't stop from responding. Sally knows how to comfort someone...

She pulls away and grabs my shoulders, looking me in the eyes. There is a concern in them, and worry is washing over her form.

"How are you doing, Hailey... You don't have to share anything, but I want you to know that I care about you and want you to be okay.

" She's becoming the older sister I never had, and I've warmed up to Sally.

Her affection for the people she cares about makes me wonder how she could've turned out so amazing given her life as an enslaved person. She escaped that life before my grandparents were born, but going through something like that changes you... Right? Maybe it depends on the person... Jasmine is similar to Sally, just less nurturing.

~~~(Location: Open Skies, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 11:41 PM)~~~

A harder flap of my wings sends me bursting forward, and I soar into the clouds of the night. Following my need to free myself from my thoughts, I burst through the top layer of the clouds and glide. An ocean of stars fill my gaze as I turn on my back and stare into the night sky. The blue glow of the moon shining down on me... At this moment, my worries are taken from me...

It's been a long time since I talked about the future that I changed. I locked it away and decided that I wouldn't bring it up. Hailey caught onto me, though... Seeing that I knew too much for someone like me. Even with all of my advantages, it's something that sticks out.

"It runs in the blood... You know when something is off...

" Mom and dad would know too...

If given enough time around me in this world, they'd see the difference in me. I hid it well, but after being with Hailey for all this time, she caught on.

"I'm proud of you, Hailey... For seeing what I didn't expect you to find so early... I underestimated you...

" Talking to the stars above calms me in a sense, and being up here. Free from my problems... It feels good...

They'll always be there, but getting out of the situation can help. There isn't anything to run from, though... So what am I running from...

"Ahhhh... This is frustrating... Pathetic...

" The reality of my actions is pathetic. My denials and shifts in emotions... Infuriating... Must've picked it up from mom... It's a little funny when I think about it that way.

I turn and look down at the clouds, and I flex my wings and push hard. Diving down and coming out from the bottom of the clouds. The endless forest that I find myself overlooking looks full. Teeming with life that I didn't think would be here. They don't know I'm up here, so no need to run and hide. I look at my map, and I'm getting far away from the campsite.

I tilt my body and turn around, blasting forward in speed and covering distance. Closing my eyes as the wind breezes against my body. It makes me wonder what the other players that can fly are doing... People should be reaching levels where they can have such an ability... Depending on their classes. It's a nice distraction... Well, maybe not nice, but still a distraction...

~~~(Location: Campsite near The Road to The Capital, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 12:09 AM)~~~

It's been a bit longer than I'd expect Cera to be gone for, but Hailey has been a company I didn't know that I'd enjoy, given how emotional she and Cera have been. My eyes catch the faint golden glow of something approaching our position. Cera is on his way back, and I stand up and wave at him. I don't want to sit here and do nothing.

As he comes in for a landing, he's quiet and far slower than he usually is. He's making sure no one is disturbed by his landing. I approach him as his wings disappear.

"Did your little trip help some?

" He nods his head and opens his arms as I come closer. My arms are already open. Hailey groans at our public display of affection, but we both just chuckle.
