No matter what I try, I'm not able to get ahold of Cera. After the talk we had yesterday, I can't help but think about what he brought up. Why would he suddenly ask about his birth... That's so out of character for him...

Even when he's trying not to annoy me, he's annoying me. All the messages I've sent are unread, and that tells me he's turned off notifications from me. Sally hasn't helped me get in contact with him either. All she said is Cera, and I have to deal with it ourselves.

"What's got you so bothered?"

Marcus hasn't got a clue about what's going on. I know that Cera wouldn't want me bringing Marcus in on any of this. That doesn't mean he can't see the change in my mood.

We're currently having lunch in a private restaurant. We've headed further south from The Southern Continent. The islands we've found have been a great source of entertainment and adventure.

The Laasir Kingdom rules over the chain of islands we're visiting. The Islands of Haestar have an extensive history that I'm still learning. Marcus has been enjoying the time he's spent with me. I'm glad I get to hang out with my youngest brother.

He's not nearly as annoying as Cera. But many would argue that Cera isn't inherently annoying. They don't know him as I do, and if they did. They'd agree with me.

"Nothing important."

My short answer doesn't do anything to convince Marcus nothing is going on. He sets his food on his plate and takes a drink of water.

"That's a load of shit, sis. But if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. Must be your time of the month, huh."

Scratch the part where I said Marcus isn't as annoying as Cera. He's worse.

"You're lucky Mom and Dad aren't here to smack you around for that."

I point at his nose from the other side of the table, and all he does is smile before going back to his food. I do like that part about Marcus. I only have to tell him once that I don't want to talk, and he doesn't bother me about it any more than that.

He's started to pick up a habit of cussing, even at his younger age. He's not a child anymore, but Mom and Dad wouldn't be happy knowing I let him cuss like this.

But I'm not his Mom and Dad. I want Marcus to be comfortable around me, and that means I can basically let him do whatever he wants. Besides, if his worst habit is cussing, then I think that's a deal.

He could be a perverted freak or a jackass. Instead, all he does is cuss every once in a while and make a jab at me. In my book, he's the better brother.

"Well, once we're done helping clear out The Ruins Of Tasdir. What should we do next?"

That's the current quest we're on. It's a Legendary Graded Quest, and we're helping The Laasir Kingdom explore and map out The Ruins Of Tasdir. The City Of Jaerey is where we're meeting a General by the name of Daenal Roane.

There are other Players that are supposed to meet up for the quest too. It's one that was posted all over the Islands and Kingdom. Any Player that thinks themselves strong enough is welcome to tryout for the quest.

Marcus and I are both Legendary Class Holders and are known around Gaia. When General Daenal Roane finds out we're here to help. I'm willing to bet other Players will be forced to drop out.

There is a limit to how many people can help with The Ruins Of Tasdir. We're a lock at this point, which means others will have to prove their worth in the interviews.

Thousands of Players and NPCs Turned Players have come here for the tryouts.

"You're speaking as if we've already got a spot locked for the quest."

I'm just pulling my brother's leg here. We both know we're getting in, and while it is arrogant to think the quest is already finished before we even start. It's not like our strength is a common find. There are only a handful of people in all of Gaia with Legendary Classes.

There is only one Divine Class, and that belongs to Cera.

"Fine, that's a boring conversation to have anyway. Do you think we'll meet any strong Players or NPCs Turned Players for the tryouts? I'd actually like some competition for a change."

That's definitely more interesting than what we were talking about. I can't say who we'll run into or how strong the people showing up will be.

What we do know is General Daenal Roane is a Legacy Class Wielder himself. He's a supposed legend in terms of his fighting and power. He's been leading the armies of Laasir since he was a young man.

"I sure hope so. As fun as the quests we've been getting have been. I'm way more interested in The Ruins Of Tasdir. A Legendary Quest doesn't come around often."

There is a good chance that more people that aren't from this part of the world are on their way down here. Word travels among Players, and the tryouts are still a couple of days from now. That's enough time for lots more to show up.

The capacity of The City Of Jaerey is around 2.5 Million people. There will probably be double that when the tryouts for the Legendary Quest start.

Big Guilds with a lot of power should be showing up, and that means we'll be seeing faces that could be familiar.

"Cera would love it if he were here right now."

I've told Marcus about how much Cera loves Lore in The Ancients World. Or Gaia, as everyone has shifted to calling it.

"Yeah, I learned a lot of good things from Cera. And you've learned from me too. You're not the only one that misses him..."

I don't like to or want to admit it. But I'm missing Cera way more than I thought I would. After parting ways with him, it's been hard. We grew close during our adventures together. Now, we're in different parts of Gaia.

Separated by thousands of miles, the only way to talk to each other is through the system.

"I'd talk to him more often, but I feel like he's already got a lot on his hands. The last time we spoke, he was in the middle of something important."

Marcus isn't the only one to experience that. Mom has been trying to get ahold of Cera through me. My brother has a bad habit of keeping notifications off for his family. He's always been a quiet one. But it gets in the way sometimes.

"That's Cera for you. I have no doubt we'll see him again one day. But by then, you'll probably be a young man. I'm so fucking glad Players don't age or die."

This is the dream of any woman. To never grow older and stay in one's prime. Marcus will continue to grow until he's 24 or 25 and stop. That's more than 10 years away. But it might be that long before we see Cera again.

It's impossible to tell.

"How are Mom and Dad doing since we're talking about family? I haven't talked to Mom in a few weeks."

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

Mom is the chattiest of all of us. But that's understandable since we're her children. Dad talks to us once in a while, but he usually leaves it for Mom to deal with.

"Mom and Dad are somewhere very far West. Across an Ocean themselves. I know they're enjoying themselves. Our family sure is spread out."

It's funny. Our family is closer now than when on Earth, and yet we're thousands of miles apart from each other.
