~~~(POV: Saliandra Orvello)~~~
~~~(Location: Rooftop looking out into The Orvello Estate, Elven Kingdom)~~~
~~~(Time: 9:41 AM)~~~
Cera and I are waiting on the edge for the chaos at the Palace to start. There isn't much time before I finally get revenge for my mother and me. "When do you think our chance to attack will open up?" Cera plans to activate his Divine Title to cause even more chaos and confusion. I'm becoming jumpier. Any minute now, we'll be attacking the Estate.
He takes a breath and folds his arms. Closing his eyes at the same time. "In the coming minutes. They know the path, and they should be entering the Palace. They'll need a minute or two to cause enough trouble to bring attention from here. But it'll be fast." He hasn't stopped staring at the Estate, and the only times I look away from it are to look at him.
I wonder what my mother would say at this moment... Would she support this? I don't know... I didn't know her... And that's their fault. "Tell me about what was in your mother's diaries. You said it was all you had to get to know her." Cera speaks out of nowhere, and I see that he's turned from looking at the Estate and is now looking at me.
I've read over my mom's diaries countless times. It was all I had of her. I grew up as a slave, and she died shortly after I was born. The James family was a hellscape that I didn't think I'd ever escape. It was her diaries that kept me sane. "She would write about her travels and where she'd been before becoming a slave... Her favorite part was eating new things..." That's something I have in common with my mom.
Cera squats down next to me and is showing that he wants to hear more. "There was a point that she thought her life couldn't get any better. She was traveling with friends and adventurers for a long time... After a while, they were caught in an ambush, and the women and children were taken as slaves. My mother was in them..." This was before she was sold to the James family.
The bandit leader that defiled my mother is also my father. She never stated his name in her diaries. Only the tortures she had to endure from the man. "Despite being forced. When she learned she was pregnant with me. She loved me no matter what... That's what her diaries say..." He gives a half-smile and decides to stop squatting and sit down.
There is a deep part of me that wishes my mom was here with me... That she could share this moment. The family that betrayed her and the royal family in command of the corrupt Kingdom. "I could never be that strong... Not in her shoes or your shoes..." Cera decides to fill the silence, and I find his words hard to believe.
He's the strongest person I know, and he can handle anything in my eyes. I'm not dependent on his power anymore, but I see that if anyone had true mental toughness. It'd be him. He sees my confused look and smiles. "It's the truth, Sally... If I were in your role and your life, I'd have failed and died a long time ago..." It's weird to hear this... But... Also good...
It makes me feel stronger in myself. Even though I've gained all the confidence I'll ever need. I appreciate that he's telling me this. "Thanks... I wish my mom could hear that in person... She endures a thousand times worse than me... Her diary talks about what she had to go through..." A person born into slavery is easier to control than someone who isn't...
She was punished and tortured repeatedly for disobeying and trying to escape. There was one time she almost made it out, but she was too big with me and couldn't move as fast as she needed to. When I read that, I died a bit inside... "You don't have to talk anymore... Looks like we've got our window." He stands up straight, and I look toward the Estate to see soldiers and guards rushing towards the exits.
Cera's golden wings appear from his back, and a Divine Title appears above his head. The Church announces the presence of Cera to Greshina. He reaches out his arm towards me. I take it, and he pulls me close. He flaps his wings hard as he keeps me attached. We fly high into the air. After getting high enough, we dive down and crash right through the top of the main building.

~~~(Time: 9:52 AM)~~~
The notification of Cera activating his Divine Title leaves my screen, and I focus on killing the last of my targets. We've been discovered, but Jasmine and I have done our part. Helda and her group are confronting the Elven Queen at this moment. "Now that these guys are handled... Let's go." I need to be there if Helda needs my backup facing the Queen.
Jasmine and I hurry through the halls and pass bodies that litter the floor. Bodies of the men that we've killed getting to all of our targets. "Why did Cera activate his Divine Title? Doesn't that seem a little counterproductive?" Maybe. Maybe not. It depends on who you ask. I think it's perfect. It adds more chaos to what's happening.
Giving us more of a window to do what we need, and that's taking out Queen Oryzox. "He's doing it to cause confusion and chaos among the ranks of our enemies here. We're almost to the throne room. Remember, we're not to interfere unless Helda asks us." Helda feels like she needs to do this. A true elf has to kill the Elven Queen.
It's nice to be free from looking like an elf, and I'm happy to say that I never want to go back. I see the massive doors leading into the throne room, and we slow down. I place my hand on the door and slowly push it open. What I'm met with is a confrontation. Helda and her group are staring down Queen Oryzox on her throne.

~~~(Time: 9:54 AM)~~~
We should be reaching Greshina in 20 or so minutes. Traveling through the rain and night has helped us cover enough ground to be this close come morning. Marcus is now awake and walking beside us. There is a sudden message on my player screen, and it shows that Slayer Zern has activated his Divine Title. That's Cera... He's doing something!
Chris and I look at each other, and we've found out that certain titles can only be seen through special conditions. One of them is range. We've just gotten into range of seeing the announcement of our son activating his Divine Title. "We're close, Honey. How about we run the rest of the way. It'll cut the time in half." He read my mind.
Marcus is picked up, and we're already running hard. Hailey and Cera are just up ahead, and we're getting close. Closer than we've ever been before on this entire trip of trying to find them. I can't help wondering what they look like... I don't think they've changed, but they might still look like elves. If they do, Hailey will be hard to find.
Cera, on the other hand, will be easy. All we have to do is find the man with a floating title above his head saying The Son of Arch-Angel Michael. "I can't wait to see Hailey and Cera!" Marcus lets out a small cheer, and I feel a boost in my energy at his words. It's been so long since I saw them...
