The Ancients World

~~~(Location: Waking up in Tent, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 6:24 AM)~~~

My eyes are easy to open, and the weight of Sally tells me she has decided to use me as a body pillow instead of sleeping as a person should. I look at the clock next to my minimap, and it\'s almost 6:30 AM. We\'ll be reaching The Gates of Greshina today, and this will be the first and last time I ever see the capital of the Elven Kingdom.

Once we\'re done here, I have no intention of ever returning to this isolated society. Sally gently falls off my body as I lean up and roll my neck. Flexing my back and getting some movement in my shoulders. She finds a stray blanket and squeezes that in a hug. "Might as well let her sleep a little longer..." I exit the tent and look towards the campfire.

It\'s already lit, and my sister is occupying the company of Jasmine and Melimora. My approach is met with a hateful glare that I regularly get from my sister. Melimora and Jasmine don\'t act in such a way. It\'s more they\'ve chosen to ignore me outright. "You have no tact whatsoever, you absolute dumbass!" Hailey is already leaning into me about what Sally and I got up to last night.

I take a seat next to her, and her disapproval continues to grow as I don\'t respond. "What do you want me to say? We got carried away, and there isn\'t much else I can say. Besides, it\'s not like you saw us. All you heard was noise. I think you just need to get over it." She grits her teeth and scowls at me. Balling her fist at the same time.

She nearly brings it back to lay a punch on me, but she regains her cool and takes a couple of deep breaths. No matter how old you get, your siblings know how to push your buttons just right. "That\'s not the point, you buffoon. There are times to do it, and there aren\'t. You need to learn that." She brings up a good point, but I meant what I said. We just got carried away.

It happens when you\'re having fun with the one you love, and that\'s not a bad thing. It\'s my opinion that you shouldn\'t get in trouble for having fun. We were in a tent and had privacy. "Oh, quit giving me shit. It\'s going to happen again, and I have no intentions of apologizing for enjoying my time with Sally. You\'ll just have to get over it." My sister looks at me with a look I haven\'t seen before.

It\'s almost like she\'s embarrassed that I\'m her brother, and I have such an outlook. That she\'s ashamed to even be related to me at this moment. It\'s hilarious! "If you keep doing this... I\'m... I\'m gonna... You\'re gonna..." She can\'t find the right words, and I give her a teasing and victorious look. Showing that I\'ve won this battle.

She\'s not happy with my look, not one bit. "I\'m gonna tell mom and dad what you\'ve been doing! You know mom would flip out and nag and punish you until the day you die!" Wow, she\'s actually threatening to tell on me to our parents? What are we, 12? I fold my arms and squint my eyes. She\'s not the only one with dirt that our parents don\'t know about.

Hailey has a look of victory, and it ticks me off. Her reaction soon changes as she sees my smile grow across my lips. "Yeah, two can play that game, sister. I wonder what dad would think about new years eve!" She goes pale and loses all her energy. Hailey is the apple of dad\'s eye, and if he knew some of the things she\'s done in her youth, then he\'d be disappointed too.

~~~(Time: 6:35 AM)~~~

How the hell does he know about that day?! Shit! Shit! Shiiiit!! "Okay, I promise not to say anything to mom and dad if you don\'t say anything about new year\'s eve..." I hate sounding like this. Begging for mercy, but it dawns on me thanks to his future knowledge, he has a super unfair advantage. His smile widens as he sees me realize that.

Ugh, I\'ll never be able to win again! Not with everything that he knows! He knows things about me that I never revealed! All thanks to knowing the future me that probably let everything be known when she became a crack whore and prostitute. "You got yourself a deal, but if they ever do find out, you can bet your ass that I know a lot more than just new year\'s eve." My temple flexes.

The clenching of my jaw is obvious, and my pride has been wounded more than I can remember in recent memory. His damn knowledge of the future will be impossible to defeat. "You two are the strangest siblings I\'ve ever met... Maybe it\'s because I\'m an elf and our families work differently..." Melimora breaks the silence with an observation.

~~~(POV: Sally Orvello)~~~

~~~(Location: On top of Carriage, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 8:20 AM)~~~

I\'m still mad with Cera, but me being loud isn\'t directly his fault. It is indirectly. I can\'t help it, not with the way he makes me feel. "Still mad about last night?" He\'s laying next to me, and normally I would be snuggled up with him. I lightly nod my head, and he leans up and scoots closer to me. Wrapping an arm around me and hugging me gently.

He kisses the side of my head, and my anger is quickly dissipating against my will. "I\'m sorry, I should\'ve thought more clearly about everything. I got too excited last night, and I know better than to do that..." In an instant, all my frustration is gone, and I\'m fully leaning back into him... It makes me feel good knowing he gets excited with me...

He cares about me that much and loves to be with me in an intimate way that much. "It\'s not all your fault... It\'s 50/50, and I\'m sorry too. I should\'ve known better, but I didn\'t want to stop either..." He smiles a way that he only does with me. A slight head tilts as he does so. Before we can close in on a kiss, he looks forward with a serious expression.

~~~(Location: On top of Carriage, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 8:25 AM)~~~

Massive walls come into view, and a gate stops from letting people in Greshina. This is where the culmination of our long journey together has brought us. "We\'ve made it!" I make sure that my voice is loud enough to be heard by the people in the carriage. Both doors swing open, and everyone is popping their heads out to see.

The pearl white color of the walls takes most of my attention. Sunlight is hitting it at an angle and making it shimmer like diamonds. "Wow... To think that such a beautiful wall protects horrible people..." Sally surprises me with the crudeness of her words, but they\'re not unjustified. I agree with her statement, and it\'s almost... Poetic.

Sally unconsciously grips my arms tighter and tighter as we edge closer to the gate. Terox and Helda sit in the driver\'s seat, ready with everyone\'s identification. The false IDs that Terox made are masterpieces in my book. The Elven Kingdom uses an old method of ID, and it\'s similar to what we had on Earth in the 21st century.

The Orvello family and the royal family are here. Our enemies. The fight coming in the following days will be hard.
