~~~(Time: 9:18 AM)~~~
In a flash of light, Sally and I appear outside Jaerey. She's already on her hands and knees as she throws up into the nearest bush. It's been a little over a day since Rahab destroyed Jeelora. Meaning we're done with Alforza for now.
We've decided to return to Jaerey and hang out with my siblings. Tomorrow is when they'll be entering The Ruins Of Tasdir. The sound of Sally's struggles takes me from my thoughts. I bend down and help her to her feet.
She leans onto me for support as we approach the closest area for shade under a tree. The tree offers her support as she slowly sits and rests against it. It's humid and warm in The Islands Of Haestar.
"Get ahold of them. It'll be a while before I can walk around much."
This is much worse than the other times. I'm worried about her. The effects are getting worse and worse the more we use Angelic Teleportation. We might have to do it the old-fashioned way for a while.
Taking her orders to heart, I open my Player Interface and enter my Friend's Tab. It only takes me a moment to inform Hailey that we're outside Jaerey.
[We'll meet you in about an hour. We're having a late breakfast and making a game plan for tomorrow. I'd like you involved, but I don't think Kelly and Rianna can be in the same place as you without freaking out.]
As, yes. I almost forgot about the people my siblings are traveling with. It's nice they have their own growing group of friends and allies they can trust. It's hard to come by things like that.
Now that I've got an answer, I sit beside Sally and wrap my arm around her shoulders. Gently parting her sweaty hair from her eyes.
Her head leans into my chest, and she snuggles closer. She might be better when they arrive, but I couldn't be sure. I don't want to enter the city because people would quickly know it's me.
The metallic halo floating above my head makes picking me out of a public place easy.
"I'm sorry that my teleportation skill makes you feel this way. I think we'll be flying around in the days of old instead of using what makes you this way."
There is no immediate response from Sally, but after a few seconds, she slowly nods her head with her eyes still closed. She's done with teleportation for a while. I get that. I kiss the side of her head and bring her closer.
Setting her in my lap and wrapping my arms around her from behind. The way she sinks into my forms tells me that she's getting a bit more comfortable.
"I'm glad we're done with Alforza... But we'll need to change our clothes again since we're not in a desert anymore..."
After a couple of minutes, she's starting to talk again. Sally knows what would slip my mind, and that did slip my mind. Now that we're not in a desert environment, we'll need to get different armor.
I can't help chuckling a little. I don't know why I find it funny, but I do. I'm great at remembering other things, but when it comes to little things like the armor I'm wearing. It slips my mind, and I never think about it unless someone makes me.
"We'll do just that. When you're able to walk, that is."
A light giggle comes from her too.
Around an hour and come change goes by, and I get another message from Hailey. She's asking where I'm at; I explain it the best I can. She's only bringing Marcus since Kelly and Rianna will make a thing about it.
Another 45 minutes go by, and a familiar pair of people are walking up the hill in our direction. We're under a big tree just before the treeline into the forest.
"Well, look who the cat dragged in!!!"
Hailey's loud voice makes the headache Sally has throb. My girlfriend is sitting up on her own and is doing much better. But she explained the pain she feels now, similar to that of a hangover.
"Not so loud... I'm not feeling that good..."
All my sister does is roll her eyes and sit down in the shade of the tree. Marcus does the same. It's a nice time of day to do something like this.
"So, what are you actually doing here?"
My brother is the one to ask this all-important question. But in all seriousness, Sally and I are just done with Alforza. We want a change of pace and to do something that's new and better. A desert environment isn't something I want to entertain anymore.
"We're tired and done with Alforza, so we figured we travel with you guys until we found something new to do. It'll be nice to go on actually adventures with my brother and sister."
It's something we've never done before, and I'm looking forward to it. I love my family, and I'd do anything for them.
"Well, if we're going the family pack route. Should we invite mom and dad? They'd probably want to get in on this. Well, at least mom would."
Hailey asks a question I hadn't considered. I wanted to find out what mom and dad were doing on their own. I don't want to interrupt their time together without us.
"That's a bad idea... Y'know, Kelly."
That completely skipped my mind too. I must be going senile in my old age or something. Mom and dad would throw a fit if they found out what Marcus was doing with a girl around six years older than him.
They'd definitely blame Hailey and me. Not that it's not our fault. It's not really anyone's fault. Marcus is strong enough to take care of himself. That means he has the rights and privileges as any other adult.
At least, in my eyes, he does.
"Tell us, what's happened since we last saw you guys?"
Looks like it's storytime. Hailey does like to know what we've been doing, and it's not hard to guess what they've been up to.

"That's when Rahab attacked the city, and when the destruction was over, and the machine destroyed, he turned his attention to us."
Wow, they've only been gone a short while and already done this much.
"The Des'merta know what they're doing. I'm betting they've been preparing for something like this for a long time. They're at war with The Regaliance Kingdom, and nothing will stand in the way of their freedom. Not even The Last Levithan."
I couldn't imagine the size and power of such a being in The Ancients World. Based on the stats of Rahab that Cera shared, it's on par with certain God-level entities.
"That's enough about us. I take it you guys are prepared for tomorrow? The Ruins Of Tasdir are no joke, even with the information I've given you. It's not like it'll be easy."
We've been practicing and running group attacks since the tournament concluded. Our team coordination has gone up considerably, but it's something that could still prove to be our downfall in there.
Kelly and Rianna simply aren't at our levels of power, and that could be detrimental in an area like this. We all know how the combat works, and they'll only fight enemies based on their level. But that doesn't mean they'll stand a chance.
Level doesn't equate to difficulty.
That's something I've learned quickly.
"Kelly and Rianna are nervous. They're scared that they'll bring the team down. But they need those Legendary Classes. Kelly and I have been talking a lot actually, and I want to run an idea by you, brother."
Marcus answers before I can, but this is the first I'm hearing about the discussion between Kelly and my brother. Whatever it may be.
