~~~(POV: Terox)~~~

~~~(Location: Road to The Capital, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 10:46 AM)~~~

Being in such close proximity with Helda is hard... We're mad at each other... Very mad, but she's still someone I hold dear... I hope she thinks the same as I do... We've since stopped staring at each other, and that's thanks to Hailey. I've come to learn that she's Cera's sister... She herself is powerful and has a legendary class all to herself.

She's not keen on sharing things about her class, only the name. Battlemind, and apparently, she's faster than her brother from what she's told me. Likely the fastest mortal alive at the moment. I look over at her, and she's whispering with Jasmine. Jasmine... An ex-slave... I couldn't imagine surviving a life as hard as that... It's unimaginable...

While I'm thinking about ex-slaves... Sally is one herself, and from what I've heard, she was in the hands of the James family... What I find truly inspiring is how she's treated despite her past... Most ex-slaves are treated like garbage... Sally, on the other hand, is in a relationship with The Son of Arch-Angel Michael... He wants her... I'm a little jealous...

Finding a person to see you for who you really are... It's hard... Sally will be the focus of much envy and hate if people ever learn about her... "Honey, I want to walk outside next to the carriage." My thoughts are interrupted by Leila, someone that's a good friend of mine. A blood-related cousin to Helda too. I regret that I missed her wedding to Freskra...

Freskra smiles from the words of his wife and opens the door to the carriage, and steps out. Leila following close behind. That leaves six of us in this carriage, and the extra room is welcomed with the exit of those two. Hailey immediately stretches out her legs and lets out a long sigh. "Do you want to head out to, Melimora?" This time it's Ashburn to speak.

Surprising me with how direct he is, Ashburn and I have worked together on several occasions. Melimora looks towards the door, and she closes her eyes and nods her head. Standing up and leaving. Ashburn is right behind her, and that leaves only four of us. Without saying anything to one another. Jasmine and Hailey both leave the carriage to walk alongside too.

Now it's just us, Helda and me... She slowly looks in my direction, and her bad attitude hasn't changed. Manni was important to both of us. Once her emotions and anger subside, she'll be able to think about the situations clearly. We've both acted immaturely, but I'm not apologizing first. The way she reacted was wrong, and I'll be stubborn about this.

There is an awkward tension, and neither of us is speaking the first words. It's plain to see that everyone left so we could talk, and the gesture is nice. However, it's wasted in the end... "Where do you suppose Manni went..." She stuns me with her first question... I wouldn't know where Manni went... He was already gone by the time we left the room...

Manni never talked about the places he wanted to see or visit... He spent most of his life in Gradule, looking after Helda and me before we grew up... After Helda had to flee, he remained to wait... "I don't know... Manni never talked about the things he wanted to do... Only how much he wanted us to all be together..." She darts her head in my direction, and she has a scowl.

She grabs ahold of her anger and sighs. Looking out the window again. "Why would Manni refuse to be healed... Seeing his family after death is a poor reason... He still has people that love him here..." She's selfish right now... It's from how much she's hurting... My understanding of her feelings makes it difficult to disagree...

Manni choosing to die... I don't understand it either... That was probably the last time we would ever see him, and it ended like that... "Maybe when we're his age and have been through the same things he has, we'll understand..." Helda stays silent at my addition to the conversation. I'm glad that we're not fighting, but we're still mad at each other.

~~~(POV: Hailey Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Road to The Capital, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 11:00 AM)~~~

There hasn't been any yelling from the inside of the carriage, which is a good sign. Giving them an opportunity to talk seemed like a good first step, but I don't know if they'll be good by the time we reach the capital. "Cera, what should we do if they end up becoming a problem?" I can't help asking, since there is a chance that it might happen.

He stays quiet from the comfortable spot he's found on top of the carriage. Sally is resting on him and enjoying his company. "They're too professional to let their personal issues get in the way of our great mission. They know how important it is... What we're doing..." I wish I shared his optimism... I've never seen Helda so angry and passive-aggressive.

That should tell you how serious the problem is between the two. If Helda, a composed and mature woman, acts like a teenager. There is a problem. "You know that it's not our business, but if it does become a problem, Melimora will handle it." My eyes look towards Melimora, and I see her confusion at my brother's words.

She stretches the back of her head, and she herself looks nervous. "Why would I be the one to fix the problem? I know a lot about Helda and some about Terox, but their relationship was before I met Helda. Getting in the middle of that isn't something I want to do." Well said, Melimora... Being thrust into that role isn't right.

Cera stays quiet, and it's starting to get on my nerves. I like to see people's faces when I talk to them. It makes for a better conversation. "You're the only one here that would get through Helda's stubborn head, and we'll need that if there is a problem." Well... He makes a good point... Helda would listen to Melimora... I think...

Melimora sighs and folds her arms. Displeased with the assumption that she'll handle it. "Despite what you may think, Cera. Helda and I have our own issues right now, and I'm not going to solve her problems before we solve the one between us..." Ohh... That's not good news. Cera lifts his head and looks down at us from the top of the cabin.

~~~(Location: Road to The Capital, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 11:05 AM)~~~

There are even issues brewing between Melimora and Helda now... I saw it coming, but I didn't think they'd get in the way... "Okay, I won't force you to do anything, Melimora. Let's all hope that whatever outcome we get, it's not one that ruins what we're trying to do here." Ugh. Since when did things get so complicated... I guess this is what happens when problems fester.

Can't say I don't know what it's like, cause I do. I've done this in my old life, and it didn't help in any way whatsoever. "I'm glad that you're listening, but I doubt that Terox and Helda are going to make up any time soon, but I doubt they'll cause any problems either." That's some good news, Melimora would know. Leila would too, but not as well.

Sally decides to sit up next to me, and she looks over the edge of the top of the carriage down at everyone else walking. "Do you think that they're misplacing their anger for Manni's choice with each other? Cause if so, it will become a problem..." She's... Right... You never want bad things to be right, which means this needs to be addressed, but I'll give them some time before that happens.
