~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~
~~~(Location: Royal Airship, Pulling out of Greshina's Port)~~~
~~~(Time: 9:09 AM)~~~
The Royal Airship is empty since everyone that was on it has made it to its destination. Leaving my family and myself the whole ship to us. Dozens of staff are waiting up ahead as we make our way towards the viewing deck, and many become flustered and worried about how they look at the sight of me.
The Captain comes out of one of the doors and stands next to the door leading into the viewing deck. We make it to the door, and the Captain holds out his hand and lowers his head.
"I'm Captain James Flintlock, and it's an honor to have you on my vessel, Slayer Zern.
" Everyone around us takes this opportunity to do the same thing Captain Flintlock is doing.
My thoughts regarding people and their treatment of me is a touchy subject. I don't like being bowed to, and I don't like being treated like royalty. I can wipe my own ass, thank you very much.
"Thanks for the warm welcome, Captain Flintlock. I won't ask for much, just the amenities that anyone else would get on an Airship.
" That should be simple enough.
Given this is a Royal Airship, it might have things run a little differently.
"Of course, Slayer Zern. We'll have your rooms ready within the hour. Until then, please enjoy the viewing deck and anything from our menu.
" He raises his head and gives a single nod. Everyone takes off in different directions to do any tasks that need to be taken care of.
Mom and dad are the first to enter the massive room known as the viewing deck. The Royal Airship is already moving, and the room has tables, games to pass the time, and huge windows on each wall to see the views from any angle you want.
"Do you get treated like that everywhere you go?
" Dad doesn't know how much I actually hate it.
Sally and mom are off and are already looking out of one of the windows at the views as we move across the sky.
"There are times that I appear in public... Don't go thinking I like getting treated like this. It takes up a lot of time and is inconvenient. Since my identity as Slayer Zern is known, many seek to speak or gain healing from me.
" He raises his eyebrow in a questioning way.
Sally and everyone else know about my healing powers once my Divine Title is activated. Mom and dad don't know how that works, though.
"When I activate my Divine Title, I gain several healing skills. The best ones you can ever have. I've spent lots of time healing the sick and injured in some places.
" He smiles and wraps an arm around my shoulder as we look towards Sally and mom.
He takes a breath, and we watch Marcus run past us and join the other two.
"You've accomplished a lot since the last time I saw you, son... You make me proud to be your father, and I'm glad that everything has been going well since we came to this world...
" I wouldn't use those exact words, but they're close enough. We're all together again.
Aside from Hailey and Jasmine, who are already at Avalon and enjoying everything the Capital City Avalon has to offer.
"Just so you know, you need to have the same talk with Hailey. She could really use you or mom saying you're proud of her. She's had a rough time.
" There is no denying that I played a role in her suffering, but that's from sharing what I know with her.
I didn't seek to harm her. I gave her what she wanted and told her the truth. Something I don't think mom and dad will ever hear or be ready for. Dad takes on a slightly sad expression.
"I screwed up with Hailey... So did your mom... If it weren't for you... Hailey wouldn't still be in our lives... Thanks for that...
" I'm not the hero of that story.
Hailey is the one that decided to change. All I told her was I'd hate to have the new rich life without her, and she'd be stuck with the same life she has now. That's all I really said to her. Anything she's done after that was her own doing.
"You don't need to thank me. You should tell Hailey how proud you are of her. She needs to hear something like that.
" I've told her that.
It's different when a parent tells you're they're proud of you. It means more cause it means you've met their expectations or even passed them.
"I'll be sure to do that... She's more than earned it after everything she's accomplished...
" I can't help wondering how Emerald is doing. Hailey's Legacy beast got so big, she has to keep it in her Inventory now.

~~~(Time: 9:14 AM)~~~
It's a little awkward standing next to Violet like this, and it's because I don't really know how to talk to her yet.
"I'm sorry that your first impression of me was bad...
" She nearly startles me with the sudden start to a conversation. She continues to look out the window, and I see a resemblance between her and Hailey. They both have the same cheeks and nose.
Hailey would talk about her mom sometimes. How overly emotional and controlling she could be. Seeing it firsthand wasn't the best thing.
"I wouldn't know the first thing about raising kids, Mrs. Adamo... I can't judge you too harshly for the way you do things...
" She cringes slightly, cause I've judged her for the things she's done and the things I've seen her do.
She closes her eyes and turns her head to me, and slowly opens them.
"Yeah... That's a part of me that I'm trying to fix... The controlling, demanding, and overbearing mother... It's obvious what you're talking about...
" It's good that I don't have to explain it, and it's even better that she can recognize the problem. But as I said, I can't judge her harshly.
I don't know how to raise kids, and I don't know what it's like to have a mother. So I can't say if what she's doing is truly wrong...
"Hailey is my only daughter, and I've done so many things wrong by her... I don't blame her if she doesn't even consider me her mother anymore...
" Hailey wouldn't go that far... I don't think she would, anyway.
Besides, it's not like Hailey is here now. That means there aren't any problems to solve at the moment.
"I'm really glad that Cera has found someone he loves... It's hard to think of him as his own man these days. Mind telling me more about yourself. More about your life?
" She knows about my hard life as a slave growing up, but she doesn't judge me for it.
Just like how Cera doesn't judge me for it.
"I don't really like to talk about my life, but if you really want to hear about it. I need to warn you it's dark, and you'll never be able to unknow it. Some pretty terrible things have happened to me...
" She looks up at me, and I can see her nod her head, and I can tell she genuinely wants to know.
I'm not really sure where to start, but before I can. Someone bumps into my leg. I look down and see Marcus. He's on his butt, and he quickly stands up.
"Sorry, didn't mean to run into you. What are you guys talking about?
" That's the end of the conversation. Talking about my past isn't something to do around a little kid.
