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

~~~(Location: Preparing to leave, The Continent of Alforza)~~~

~~~(Time: 10:11 PM)~~~

It's night again, and the temperature has dropped to a comfortable 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Sally and I spent the day in the tent as the shade covered us. We had a few romps and then fell back asleep for most of the day.

Now we're getting ready to leave, and I've got everything packed up. All I'm waiting on now is Sally. She's using the bathroom before we head out.

"I wonder how long it'll be until we reach a city..."

My eyes are looking toward the beautiful night sky, and I feel a wave of calmness. It's not the question I asked myself but the sense that I'm not obligated to do any more quests or catch up on anything. Seeing the open night sky has brought this sense.

Sally and I are as free as the stars above us. We can do what we want now. We've come here for the next chapter in our lives, and I'm more than excited to see where it's all going.

"I'll tell you what, peeing behind a tree reminds me of when we first started traveling together. Just us and the tent."

My lovely girlfriend comes from the spot she chose to pee and makes her way toward me.

"Yeah, I remember. You'd make sure you were far away and could keep me in view while hiding. It made you feel safe."

The smile on her face subtly widens as I get on one knee and spread my wings out. I feel her hands trace up the middle of my back and between my wings. It feels really good, and she presses her body against my back.

"You picked up on that, huh... Even after you told me who you were, I acted like that for a while... I've come a long way, haven't I..."

Calm happiness is whispered into my ear as I stand up and launch off the ground and into the sky with a flap of my wings.

She's come farther than anyone I could imagine. But I'm a cynic, so it's unfair to say that in honesty.

"I picked up on many things when traveling with you, Sally... I learned so much about love, loyalty, pleasure, and so much more... I had no idea what I was missing before I met you..."

Sally has been haunted by her past for so long... But I don't see people that way... I don't judge them for actions taken against them that were out of their control... I don't think anyone should... Not everyone shares that opinion, though.

There aren't any clouds in the sky about Alforza, at least not where we're at. It's just open deserts and some scattered clusters of trees here and there. The only trees that were around were the ones near the coast we used for shade.

"You already knew how to do those things, Cera... All you needed was someone to bring them out..."

She's kind for saying that... But I don't think I'd have known what these felt like if not for Sally.

"How long do you think it'll be before we find a city?"

The subject changes abruptly by the girl riding on my back. It's sudden, but I get it. She's said what she wanted, and now there isn't a need to continue talking about it. That's another part of Sally I'm liking that's popping up more.

"I couldn't say in terms of time, but it shouldn't be too long. We don't have to worry about the heat, but I doubt there will be any cities within the next couple of hours. It's mostly desert below us."

Cities aren't built without specific natural resources. One of those resources is water. If we can find a river. It'll lead to a city or a village. There won't be one soon, but I have my hopes up. I don't want to fly the whole night and be in the middle of a desert when the morning comes.

We're currently traveling at top speed, and we'll be covering ground fast. But Alforza is far greater in size than our old continent.

"I wonder what we'll see... Do you think we'll run into any of the peaceful high orcs?"

I'd like to see that, but I have no idea where they're at.

"I'm hoping for that too. Alforza is supposed to be beautiful when you get past the deserts and heat. Which is something I'm looking forward to."

Sally and I know pretty much the same amount when it comes to Alforza.

"Wake me when a city is getting close..."

I figured this would happen. I could hear the drowsiness in Sally's voice, and if she wants to sleep, then she should. There are things that I must think about in the silence. And one of those things is what we'll actually be doing once we reach a city.

We've agreed the first thing is getting magical language translators, and after that, getting better clothes and armor. Finally, getting a working knowledge of Alforza's borders and lands. Cause our maps are greyed out since we haven't discovered anything here.

The continent a Player spawns on is mostly discovered for them when they spawn, but going to new continents means you have to discover those places yourself.

Once we have those things done, I don't have a clue what we should do next. But that's the whole point. Just doing what comes naturally and not seeking things out for a change. It's going to be fun.

~~~(Time: 2:15 AM)~~~

"Sally..."

My name is gently called, and I already know it's Cera, but my eyes are having a hard time opening.

"Sally... Wake up... I see a city in the distance..."

I don't know how long I've been asleep, but it doesn't take me long to get my eyes fully open and see the massive city ahead that's built around water.

There is a massive pyramid in the center of the city, and buildings spiraling outward from it. There are large walls that surround the city. And we're getting closer by the minute. Cera slows down and brings us in for a landing before reaching the city.

"Once we reach the gate, we'll have to do our best to communicate. I doubt they'll speak the same language as us. So it might get a little difficult, if you know what I mean. If worse comes, I'll show them my wings and Divine Title."

That's the last resort. We don't want anyone knowing that we're in Alforza. That'll ruin this for us, and people will start getting in the way.

"Okay, I'll follow your lead. Just warn me beforehand if anything violent is about to happen. Like if you're going to draw your sword or something."

He nods his head, and we start making our way toward the massive walls and the closest gate. There aren't any lines, and as we approach, the guards are actually sleeping. Talk about poor security. But most people don't come at night like this.

And making secret entrances into cities in the desert are nearly impossible cause it's built on sand.

"Should we wake them?"

I whisper to Cera as we look at the sleep guards from outside the gate. But it's not like anyone is stopping us from entering. Cera shrugs his shoulders and walks through. I follow him, and we enter the city with no problem.

"Want to find somewhere to sleep before the sun comes up?"

I wouldn't mind sleeping in a bed, but there wouldn't be any Inns or places to sleep open at this time.
