The Ancients World

~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: City of Borm, Kingdom of Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 8:39 AM)~~~

I haven\'t come up with anything in terms of finding out if Kris Martim is here or not. My quest says that I must find him in one of the seven locations provided. It doesn\'t give any ideas about where he\'s at, and that means I\'ll have to look for him on my own.

"I\'m so sick of having to turn over rocks everywhere I go, and I\'m tired of having to play chase the asshole that has what you need."

There is a quick solution to this, and that\'s an announcement to the whole City of Borm. In fact, that\'s a great idea. It\'ll mean that I\'m done with this place when word gets back to me.

Now, getting the word out is where I need to make things interesting. The City Center is the best place to talk to people, and that\'s where I\'m heading.

It takes a few minutes, but I make it to a packed part of Borm and sit on a bench. Kids run by playing games as kids do, and people move about not knowing I\'m here.

In a smooth motion, my hood falls, and people can see my face if they wished. Now that my face is free from concealment, I toggle my wings on, and Golden Angel Wings spring from my back. Everyone that has a view of me stops and looks.

Mothers drop the things they\'re carrying, and fathers protect their families. 

The kids that were playing have stopped and taken this time to run, and I look around to see people waiting for me to do something. And that\'s when I activate my Divine Title, and it appears above my head.

This is the best way to root out any information as fast as I can. People are always willing to help me, and that doesn\'t change.

It takes a moment, but some people start to ease up, and a mother steps forward with a child in her arms. She wasn\'t in my line of sight before, which means word has spread already that I\'m here. People bring me their sick, and I usually help. 

But today, it won\'t be for free. I need information about Kris Martim, and I\'ll be trading my abilities in healing for what I need on Kris.

"Please... My daughter is dying, and there isn\'t anything I can do to save her... I beg of you... Please..."

She falls to her knees in front of me while holding the child in her arms. My attention is on her, but I\'m also looking at the reactions coming from people surrounding the area. More people are starting to arrive too.

"I\'ll help your daughter. But only if you have information on the individual known as Kris Martim. If anyone has information on Kris Martim, you can tell me, and I\'ll help this girl!"

I raise my voice so everyone can hear, and some look away or at the ground. The mother of the daughter is looking at me in disbelief. I don\'t blame her for looking at me like that. She must be feeling betrayed that my help comes at a price she can\'t fulfill.

"You\'re a monster... How could you sit there and not help my baby!? All you need to do is help her!! It\'s nothing for you!!"

<br/>She screams at me from her spot, and people start to gasp and whisper to each other. At my lack of words, she stands up and steps closer. Her arms raise, and she swings her hand at my face.

Everything is moving slowly for me... My speed means I can see the world at a different speed than others if I want to... I could easily dodge this, and I could easily dispatch her.

Instead, I move my closest wing and stop her hand from moving any closer. The world speeds back up for me, and she\'s nearly knocked over by the sudden resistance meeting her.

Everyone is deathly silent as my wing is blocking her hand from reaching any further. But she has a dead look in her eyes... Like she knows that no matter what she does, no one will help her daughter, and she\'s lost her will to live. 

In the next second, the crowd to one of the main roads in Borm parts, and I hear the clicking of horseshoes and the rubbing of armor. I turn to see members of The Church of Light looking at the scene in horror.

Not at me, but at the woman that hasn\'t removed her hand from my wing. Seeing them seems to invigorate her, and she uses the same hand to smack my wing repeatedly. She\'s holding her daughter with her other arm.

Her palm starts to bleed by being cut from the feathers she\'s hitting. 

"Save my daughter!! You\'re supposed to help people!! It\'s the whole reason you\'re here!! Help her!! I beg of you... Help her..."

She loses her will and falls to her knees again while clutching her baby.

My attention is on the soldiers and Church officials watching this. Some of them look like they\'ve seen a ghost, and others are staring at the woman with a death glare.

"As I said before. If anyone has any information on Kris Martim, I\'ll help your daughter. Or anyone in town."

My voice is loud enough for anyone to hear, and this time the woman stands up and turns to the many onlookers. 

"Someone tell him about whoever he\'s looking for!! Do the right thing and save my daughter!! There has to be someone present here that knows about Kris Martim!"

A mother would do anything for their child. Most of the time, anyway... People are folding in on themselves and trying to make it look like she\'s not saying anything. To everyone here, they\'d be helping someone that\'s attacked me in public.

I don\'t know what kind of crime that entails, but I wouldn\'t imagine it\'s a good one. Before she can continue, the head of the Church in this town steps forward and makes his way over. He looks at the woman and then at me while lowering his head.

"There aren\'t words that can describe how sorry I am that you\'ve had to experience something like this..."

Before he can say anything else, I stand up and place my hand on the mother\'s shoulder. I gently turn her around, and I raise my wing flat above her and use my best healing and cure spells on her and her daughter.

"Someone who knows who I\'m searching for has stepped forward. You wouldn\'t have unless you knew about who I\'m looking for."

The mother takes a deep breath, and the girl in her arms wakes and starts moving. 

"Let her go. She\'s just a desperate mother doing what she can. She won\'t be punished for that."

At my command, she\'s allowed to leave with no issues, and I look at the head official that\'s standing here. He shrinks at my gaze, and I can see why. My wings are spread in an intimidating way, and people that are looking are holding their breath.

"I know of the man you want to speak with, but he\'s not here. He\'s not even in The Kingdom of Avalon... He\'s somewhere outside the borders of our Kingdom..."

That knocks 5 locations off my list, and that means the man I\'m searching for is either located near Zenith or The Fairy Kingdom.
