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

~~~(Location: The Underground City Of Maero, Desert, The Continent Of Alforza)~~~

~~~(Time: 9:50 AM)~~~

It's been over an hour since Sally, and I finished our meeting with the council leading this war against The Regaliance Kingdom. Jeelora is our destination, and one place I know will be interesting to see. I've never been to a slave city before.

Not really looking forward to it, but information and knowledge shouldn't be rejected just because it's terrible. I'd rather know what something is like than not know.

Sally, on the other hand, is the one that's least looking forward to this. Given she was a Sex Slave 80 some odd years ago, it goes without saying she'll be uncomfortable with the whole idea of going to an entire Kingdom that practices Slavery.

Makes me grateful I lived in a time on Earth when that wasn't a legal practice. There are plenty of places on Gaia that don't practice Slavery, but there are places that do. Regaliance, for example. Sally moves a little closer to me as we're walking the path back to our Inn.

She leans her shoulder on my head and closes her eyes. I get the feeling. It's almost 10 AM, and I'm already getting really tired. It's mentally exhausting preparing for war. Sally and I will be in Jeelora before anyone else, and we'll be there to help smuggle in the device.

We're not taking it with us, we'll only be waiting there to help get it in the city. Apparently, it's rather conspicuous, but it's not impossible to get in.

"Do you think the Des'merta care about making Rahab mad? Cause it seems like it's at the bottom of the priority list. Is freeing the slaves in The Regaliance Kingdom that important to them... They'd risk their entire people..."

The sudden onslaught of questions takes me from my relaxed state. Sally is asking the right things, and I don't have the answers. Everyone reacts or acts differently in any given situation. To the Des'merta, it's worth dying for.

That's a commitment that many don't have, and if they do have it. It's because it's ingrained in their souls and not something they just woke up and decided to do.

"It's worth it to them... I admire that part of them... Willing to sacrifice so much in exchange for freedom... While the Des'merta themselves aren't slaves, a lot of their people are captured. I can see the motivation."

It's been building and festering for centuries, according to the history of the Des'merta. If you oppress people long enough, they'll eventually rise up to kill you. Or, you can change for the better. It's what America and Britain did.

That was so long ago, though. Over 200 years. It's something that you don't think about until it's pointed out to you, and it's alive and real in The Ancients World. A sad reality that many disagree with. Me being one of them.

"I'm really glad we're helping them. It's not every day so much good can be done for so many people, y'know..."

I can't help hugging Sally as she says that. Sure, her life 80 years ago was before I was born and before my grandmother was born. But that doesn't mean it's any less painful now. At least, I hope it's less painful.

Sometimes, it does seem that way. But others, I can see she's reminded of what was done to her. She had her revenge, and not many can say that. But the Des'merta can and will. No matter the price they have to pay.

And that's something I admire.

~~~(Time: 11:41 AM)~~~

Cera and I are back in our room, and he's heading right for the bathroom. We had a nice long talk on the way back. One that I needed, but didn't know at the time. When it comes to any slavery, I always get invested. Dangerously so.

I want to help the people being used and abused... Cause I know what it's like... Cera loves that part about me... Says it's one of the purest things he's seen...

We had a lot of sex last night, and it's not even noon yet. But I'm in the mood after all the support and love he showed and gave me. It's hard not to want a person when they are there for you like that. It's rare to find in someone, but when you do. Hold onto it.

I'm quick to unequip all my armor and clothes. Spreading out on the bed in surprise from Cera, he's still in the bathroom.

I never thought I'd find someone that loves me after knowing I was a Sex Slave... But Cera proved that wrong... He said what happened before his grandmother was born doesn't bother him, and I see that it doesn't.

But it bothers me. Sometimes, a part of me wished that I wasn't. So when I met Cera, it would mean I gave him my first time... But that was stolen from me long before... His grandmother was born...

He's good at making me feel old without even trying... I'm glad we'll both never die from old age... It's something to look forward to...

"So I was thinking we coul- Woah..."

He walks back out into the room. Stopping in the middle of his sentence to react. A smile on his face, and excitement start to build on him. Seeing him react this way to me makes me feel like a person who didn't go through so much shit to get to this point.

The speed he gets everything off is almost comical. As he's put it. I asked him what that meant one time, and said it was a saying from his world.

I wonder what that place is like... It sounds like a nice place to live...

Minus the world-ending pollution disaster they faced.

~~~(Location: The City Of Jaerey, The Kingdom Of Laasir, The Islands Of Haestar)~~~

~~~(Time: 11:58 PM)~~~

It's almost midnight, and I'm sitting at the bar all alone. Marcus went upstairs with Kelly. I already know what they're planning to do, and Rianna is off practicing. She's become much more motivated to become stronger.

Two days from now, The Ruins Of Tasdir will be sieged by everyone who qualified during the tryouts. But my friends and I are going in before everyone else. Won that right in the tournament after the tryouts.

"Well, I didn't think I'd find such a beautiful ass-kicker here all alone on a night to celebrate."

As I turn to see the person the voice belongs to, I recognize the person as Plutonium. He takes a seat next to me and quickly orders something to drink too.

"If that's a pickup line, I'd say you need some more work."

There have been many times in my life here on Gaia where I've been hit on, harassed, and annoyed by guys who thought they were the shit. Sadly, Plutonium has the Class and ego to back up his feelings. It's not every day someone almost beats me.

But I guess from his perspective, I'm smoking hot since I'm the one who whooped his ass. Guys like Plutonium like getting beaten by girls. They're strong all the time and hardly lose. But when a girl comes along and does it.

They can't help feeling like they finally found someone that can keep up with them. The same can be said in the other direction. Powerful women like powerful men, and vice versa.

"Well, I'm out of practice. The only time I talk to a woman is my mom or someone like you. A person who can humble my arrogant ass."

At least the guy is honest, for the most part. I'm not one of those girls that think every guy is bad and the same. But I do know many of them think alike. As do women.

I can only guess he wants to hook up... And it's been a while for me...
