~~~(POV: Violet Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: City of Wessixs, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 9:29 AM)~~~

The magical item has been taking us the exact path Cera and Hailey have taken, and this place was where they went after they were done with Elenahiers Dungeon. The City of Wessixs, a Merchant city that has a lot of commerce. Following in Cera and Hailey's footsteps helped in ways I didn't count on it helping. The potions that changed us are the main things.

Since we look like elves, we don't have any problems with people suspecting us. All we have to do is keep to ourselves and get information. We're heading to an Inn they stayed at, and we're not expecting to get much. Chris and I don't know what they look like. They took the same potions we did, and that means even when we do catch up with them, we won't recognize them.

It hurts my pride as a mother that I don't know what my kids look like anymore, but I know that it's no fault of mine. The Inn they stayed at is just up ahead, and I'm eager to ask the bartender some questions. They're sure to know something. "I can see that look, and you're getting your hopes up." I look at my husband, and he can see that I'm unhappy with that statement.

I'm allowed to hope that there is some information about my kids, and he should be doing the same thing I am. "You need to stop being so negative. If there is a small chance that there is some information about our kids, then we should have hope." He closes his eyes and releases a sigh. I have the sudden urge to smack him. 

My urge has halted as we stand outside the destination that the magical item has marked for us. "Remember, I'm not trying to bring you down. I'm just trying to keep realistic expectations. We already have an item that tells us where they've been. We can just continue traveling instead of stopping here." His pragmatic approach is a double-edged sword. 

We might miss information and clues if we skip this and head straight for Gradule. He does bring up a good point, though... We can get a lot of ground covered during the time we're searching here. "Alright, we'll do it your way, Chris. Let's keep moving." Marcus starts walking on the road, and we leave, heading towards Gradule. Chris and I aren't wasting any more time.

Marcus leads the way in front of us, and we're looking around Wessixs as we make our way towards the gate exiting towards Gradule. It's strange not seeing at least a couple of players. The elves do a great job of keeping people out. "Honey, I'm sorry that my approach always seems different than yours." My heart flutters at my husband's words. I should apologize for my flaws too. 

~~~(POV: Marcus Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Road leading to Gradule, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 10:51 AM)~~~

Mom and dad are being lovey-dovey, so I'm staying ahead of them on the road. I don't want to see my parents sucking each other's faces. While they're back there doing what they want to do, I need to think of something that'll entertain me until something interesting happens. My control over my fire is improving, and I always enjoy playing with it.

I wouldn't mind an actual fight. Elenahiers Dungeon was fun, but it was really bloody. Mom was afraid that I couldn't handle that. Proved her wrong. I know that I'm a kid and young, but I'm not a baby anymore. I can think for myself, and I can protect myself. Having a Legendary class means that I will be hard to kill, and I have a lot of power.

My thoughts have been filled with my older brother and sister. It's been so long since I saw them... I want to show Cera how much stronger I've become, and I want Hailey to know she can't pick on me anymore. "Sweetie! Don't go too far ahead! Stay within our view!!" Mom makes sure I'm not getting too far away from them. I'm starting to wonder if she has a mental problem.

She doesn't like separation from her children... Do all mothers go through something like this? Cera would know what it's called. "Yeah, Yeah! I know already!" My annoyance is clear, and normally I wouldn't talk to them like this. I'm just getting sick of how I'm still thought of as a weak, defenseless kid that can't fend for himself. I'm strong than both of them.

If anyone is protecting anyone, it's me protecting them. They wouldn't have been able to get into the Elven Kingdoms Borders if I didn't blow a hole through the wall. "Don't give your mother attitude, Marcus! She's just worried about you!" Yada, Yada. Leaving it at that is the best thing I can do. I keep my eyes ahead, and I occupy myself by using my fire.

I can't help wondering what Cera and Hailey are doing here in the Elven Kingdom. Most players are spending time near The Kingdom of Avalon due to its importance for tiering up. They've really gone out of their way to come this far. Maybe it's personal? I can only ask when I meet them. We've been gaining ground on them. They've slowed down at some places.

~~~(POV: 1st Princess of The Elven Kingdom, Olisandra Oryzox)~~~

~~~(Location: Searching for the secret passage leading out of the palace, Greshina)~~~

~~~(Time: 3:07 PM)~~~

It's been a long time since I've searched down here... Blezikel is keeping up appearances and making sure that no one suspects that anything is going on. She's vouching for my whereabouts, and I have free reign to search these ancient halls. The upper palace is where most of the people stay. These lower levels haven't been used in millennia.

Trying to remember where it exactly is has been difficult. It's been many years since I've been down here, and when I was, I wasn't older than seven. Blezikel was even younger, so she wouldn't have any better chance at remembering it than I would. "What has brought you to this place, Princess?" I nearly jump out of my skin at the sound of the voice I hear.

I look around, but no one is visible. I keep walking forward, hoping to find out where and who that voice came from, and as I turn the corner. I see... A Ghost... What the fuck!!? "Stay back! I'm not getting my soul sucked out of me!!" I turn and try to leave, but before I can, I'm already levitating off the ground, and I'm taken towards the ghost.

The ghost looks familiar... Like I've seen him before... I can't put my tongue on it... "I didn't expect one of my descendants to run from the mere sight of me. Am I really that old and unfamiliar to you?" Descendant? I'm his descendant? I stop struggling to get free from the grasp, and he lets me down. I take a better look, and I can't recognize who this man is, only that he's familiar...

Now that I've calmed down, I can think clearly. I can handle fighting monsters and men, but I draw the line at the undead. They're just not something that I mess with. "I'm sorry for freaking out. I don't like ghosts or the undead." The man smiles, and I take a better look at his clothes. He's wearing elven royal armor from long ago.

He's part of this family, but I don't know who he is. "That's not unexpected, but I can't help feeling hurt that you don't know who I am. I'm King Ezelmare Oryzox, and I was the first Elven King to restore rights to half-bloods in our kingdom." Ohh... Ezelmare was killed in a coup by the nobles... He was killed, but his wife survived.
