The Ancients World

~~~(Location: Safe House in Greshina, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 5:35 AM)~~~

A steady breath escapes my lips as I open my eyes. I look around at the ceiling, and I take a moment to gather my thoughts. My left side is occupied by Sally, and we\'re stuck together by a thin line of sweat. Once I lean up, she peels off me and rolls on her side. Turning her back to me and taking the blankets with her. I pull up my menu as I stand up.

I equip my gear, and I make my way towards the door. I\'m probably the only one up at this time, but that just gives me some extra time to myself. Making my way to the living room as quietly as I can doesn\'t go so well. The natural creaking of the house makes it hard to move silently. I take a seat on the ratty couch, and dust is kicked off.

My mind is clear, and my conscious even more. Sally getting sleep means she put today\'s monumental task aside and got some sleep. It\'s an important thing to do. After today, the Elven Kingdom will be free. But more importantly, Sally would have had her revenge, and we\'ll move to bigger places that I need to handle.

The Kingdom of Avalon is on my mind right now, and I\'m looking forward to seeing the Kingdom made for players again this life. "Didn\'t think you\'d be up yet." Helda walks into the living room and stands in front of me. "Not after what all the noise coming from your room indicated. Thought you guys would never go to sleep." We didn\'t do it for that long. It was 10:30 when we stopped.

She sighs and takes a seat next to me. Running a hand through her hair and leaning her head against the torn couch behind her neck. "Sally is still asleep. I\'m not someone with the best sleep schedule. Being up this early is something I\'m used to." Helda isn\'t the most talkative person, but she\'s come to trust me and I, her. You could even say we\'re friends.

There are plenty of things that her group has to handle getting into the Palace, and it\'s far more difficult than what Sally and myself are doing. "Normally, I\'d ask if you think Sally is ready for this. But not anymore. She has the confidence needed to make this happen." Yeah, I\'d be a bit worried. That was before... Before she gained the confidence needed and a form of independence from my power.

I have no doubt she\'s going to inflict every transgression she\'s suffered 10 fold because of her family. I\'m not a normal person, I have a streak of bloodthirstiness, and some people hate that about me. The ones that know. I think it\'s one of my best qualities. It allows me to be what I need to be. "How long do you think it\'ll take you guys?" That\'s all up to Sally.

She\'s going to want to take her time and make sure they feel some of the pain she\'s had to live with. Nothing will stop us, and while thinking like that is dangerous, it\'s true. "Longer than what you\'re planning. Sally probably intends to make them suffer. If you do need help, Hailey will be there." My sister is the strongest person I know. Right behind me.

~~~(Location: Passageways under Greshina, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 9:12 AM)~~~

Melimora and I are leading everyone towards the Palace. Cera and Sally are the only ones that aren\'t here right now. "Remember your roles, everyone. Hailey and Jasmine will be killing important nobles. Leila and Freskra will be taking out every guard possible. Meli, Ashburn, and I will face the Queen in the throne room." This is the basics of our plan.

There are multiple moving parts, but if everyone does what they\'re supposed to do, then nothing will go wrong. "Do you think the Queen will give you any problems? You\'re strong, Helda. But Queen Oryzox holds a Legacy Class." I don\'t like being asked this. It\'s a little insulting, but there is nothing I can do about it. I\'ll give it my best, but she\'s dying today no matter what.

Terox is the only one that isn\'t here right now, given how we decided she wasn\'t strong enough in combat to really benefit anyone on this side. So she\'s staying back and is only supposed to come and help if we need it. "That depends, Hailey. If the rumors about her power are true, then I don\'t see myself winning without help, but I\'m still doing it." My pride gets in the way sometimes.

There isn\'t anything I can do in regards to suppressing my pride. I\'ve already done it enough to get over my issues with Terox. "Jasmine and I will hit our targets fast and hard. I want to be available if you do need my help in the end." She\'s trying to be nice, and I know that. It just sucks being thought of as not strong enough. It\'s one of the worst things.

My life and struggles have meant little to me. In the sense that I didn\'t think I was born for some greater purpose. I can\'t help thinking that this is destiny. That this is something that was written before anyone in my family was born. "Don\'t worry about us. You two need to make sure you do a good job. All the most important nobles stay in the Palace." Other than the Orvello\'s.

Sally and Cera are on their way towards the Orvello Estate right about now. Probably discussing a plan of attack. Reviewing information and guard patrol patterns. An all-out assault against the Orvello\'s will draw way too much attention too fast. So they\'re going at it slow. A smart move, in my opinion. Something we have done traveling through this passageway.

Melimora didn\'t have to stand up for me like that. Hailey isn\'t bothered by it, and neither is Jasmine. "The guards in the Palace are the strongest the Elven Military has to offer. While we\'re all stronger than them individually, that doesn\'t mean we\'re invincible. Hailey won\'t have any problems. The rest of us will if we face them in large numbers.

~~~(Time: 9:35 AM)~~~

Cera stands at my side silently, and we both haven\'t spoken in a few minutes. Mainly from us trying to think of the best approach without making a loud approach. "I know of a way to do this quick and hard, but we\'ll need to wait until the attack on the Palace starts." He speaks out of nowhere, and while I don\'t want to wait that long. I know he\'s good at plans.

Hearing out what he wants to do is easy. So I turn to him and give him a look for an explanation. "When the Palace is attacked. All forces will move to defend it. Meaning, at the moment the guards start to move. I\'ll toggle my wings and Divine Title on. All the while deactivating my potions effects and becoming human again." That\'s a pretty good plan, and I like it.

When he activates his Divine Title, everyone in the area will be notified through an announcement from the church. The chaos will cause an opening for us and the others that will attack the Palace. "I\'m fine doing it this way, but when we meet, my family let me do all the talking." He nods his head a single time, and we go back to looking at the Estate.
