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

~~~(Location: The Jungles of Nae\'mor, The City of Armezix, The Continent of Alforza)~~~

~~~(Time: 4:30 PM)~~~

We\'re at the Airship dock as the evening sets upon us soon. Sally is speaking with Jaeemara as the Airship she\'s taking is starting to dock. It\'ll be taking her back to her home and her kids. I know she misses them a great deal.

I\'ve taken up enough of her time. I don\'t know what they\'re talking about. They\'re just out of earshot. Their smiles and laughter tell me it\'s a good conversation.

My mind has been filled with the royal family since Aelora and Rhael interrupted our lunch earlier today. The Princess was what you\'d expect a secondborn to be. She had a lot to prove and a massive chip on her shoulder.

That\'s ironic since I\'m the second born in my family. Things are different when you have money and power. I don\'t know what to do with the information I\'ve come to learn in the time Sally and I have been in Armezix.

My request to get access to the library\'s higher levels has been denied on direct orders from Queen Romana Zil Lukaerd Elen Roa. I respect her reasoning. No matter how important or powerful they are, outsiders shouldn\'t have access to everything.

She\'s clearly a great ruler. If only more were like her. I already know enough to say the Dark Elves have lied about their history to each other.

It\'s not really like I have a responsibility, to tell the truth. Having that lie exist doesn\'t harm anything. Not in my eyes, at least. I don\'t know what that says about me, but that\'s not up to me to decide.

Queen Romana Zil Lukaerd Elen Roa is someone I\'d like to meet, but I don\'t think going to her after everything that\'s happened is good. I enjoy creating chaos in a royal and noble family. But I don\'t take pleasure in destroying them unless it\'s necessary or warranted.

"Cera! C\'mon! I want to talk with you too before I have to leave!"

The joy and happiness in Jaeemara\'s voice is apparent as she calls me over. I make it to them, and Sally is tearing up with a smile on her face. The famed tears of joy. I\'ve seen and experienced them with both my own family and Sally.

Before I can say anything, Jaeemara wraps me in a hug. She holds onto me until I hug her back. She\'s become a good friend, and I don\'t see anything wrong with a hug at this moment.

"What do you plan to do once you\'re home? Now that your Dad is off your back, you\'re free to do anything you want. Maybe your kids and Pazemad can have a relationship with Eldinemara."

It\'s a long shot, in my opinion, but she\'s got a lot to look forward to once she gets home. I\'ve solved her problem, and now she\'s free from that control of her Dad. I don\'t know if she knows how good her life is really going to get.

The smile on her face beams with light now that we\'re apart. I haven\'t seen that bright smile since I first met her family after she brought us there to meet them.

"I\'ve been talking to Pazemad on our trip here. Coming up with ideas now that we can do things we couldn\'t before. The first thing we\'re doing is going on vacation and taking the girls somewhere they\'ve never been before."

That\'s as good a plan as any I\'ve heard.

The Airship she\'s taking is almost docked, which means our time with her is ending. There is something I wish to do before she\'s gone for the foreseeable future.

"Here, make sure you accept this."

I open my Player Interface, and I send her a friend request. She gets the notification, and I see the disbelief in her eyes. I guess she still thinks we\'re not more than a tourist and guide. She\'ll learn what it means to be one of my friends.

She looks at Sally first, fresh tears forming in her eyes. They hug, and I feel a little awkward. I\'m the one that should be getting the hug.

They pull apart, and she wraps me in a hug again. The second time in less than a minute that I\'m getting hugged by someone other than Sally or my family. It\'s strange, not something I\'m used to. Hugs aren\'t my thing, but hey. Sometimes people need a hug.

She obviously needs one.

"Thank you so much, Cera... I don\'t know what I would\'ve done without you..."

I roll my eyes with a smile on my face.

"Hey, you\'ve proven to be a good friend to me. I trust you. You even know my real name. Everyone refers to me as Angel Zern or Slayer Zern. When you learn my real name, that means you have my trust."

She pulls away as I finish talking, and I turn to Sally. A nod is what I get from her.

"Don\'t be a stranger, Jaeemara. I like talking to people on my friend\'s list."

She chuckles, knowing the reason. Someone like me would prefer to talk when I don\'t have to deal with the actual person. While I like talking with people, I don\'t like dealing with people. There is a distinct difference. Marcus and Dad are the same way.

Hailey and Mom are the social butterflies in the family. But someone\'s gotta do it. Not everyone in the family can be silent scarecrows sitting around the house.

But that was a different time and a different Adamo Family.

"Do you want me to walk you on board?"

Sally makes her way over to us, and Jaeemara nods. Before turning back to me with a truly happy smile.

"Jae. Call me Jae. That\'s what my close friends and family call me. Can I ask you one more favor before I go?"

I don\'t see why not. I nod my head, and she holds up a screen in front of me.

"What\'s this?"

She\'s not explaining anything.

"Read it, you goof."

Sally is the one to tell me this. Seems she\'s in on this in some way. That\'s what they were probably talking about when I was off thinking about the royal family.

Regardless, I look at the screen and start reading.

[Jaeemara and Pazemad have officially requested that Player Zern become the Godfather of Leela and Laura. If you accept, the system and Gaia will recognize you as the Godfather of Leela and Laura.]

[Do you accept? Y/N]

"Are you sure about this? I have enemies, and they could become a target to get to me. I don\'t want to put them at risk if I don\'t have to."

I really like the gesture. Leela and Laura are amazing kids who\'ll grow to be amazing women just like their Mother. I don\'t envy Pazemad when he\'ll have to fend off boys with a stick. But that comes with the territory.

"We\'ve talked about it for a while, and Sally has already become their Godmother. All that\'s left is you."

Wow... I didn\'t realize that they saw me as Godfather material... That\'s an important symbolic role...

"I\'d be honored to Godfather Leela and Laura. It\'s not something you get asked every day. This is going to be the only time I do this."

I hit accept, and a new screen pops up. One that surprises Jae, but not me.

[Due to Leela and Laura being the Godchildren of The Son of Arch-Angel Michael, they\'ve received Divine protection and now have access to Legendary Classes once they become Players.]

Jae looks at me like I\'ve just done the most meaningful thing in the world. Sally just smiles and hugs her from behind.

"Yeah, I sorta have a Passive Perk that gives blessings to those that are close to me or help me. It makes sense this happened. But I didn\'t expect Legendary Classes."

Those two little girls will become some of the most powerful people in Armezix. Even Gaia.
