“Welp, this is it. Ol’ Jerrysvile, now, are you sure you’re stopping here kids? This place is crawling with nasty folks.” the train conductor said, with a concerned look. “We’re fine,” Imikamaru said, looking at the others. “Shut up before I impale you with an energy sword,” said Kaze with a blood lust look on his face. "Now, now. ", a sleepy voice mumbled, seemingly coming from the traveler's bag,"No need to impale the one who was willing to bring us here...They knew how dangerous this was, yet they did…. Be kind now sir Kaze…"
The conductor looked at Ikkus with a concerned grin on his face. “What are you looking at, have you ever seen an Imp being carried in a barrel,” Said Ikkus. Before leaving Kaze asked, “Are there any good bars around?”
"I... There's one near here..Just go straight west, Lucky Duck it's named. Be careful now boys, and watch your backs." They walked to a booth that was at the train station to get some food. “That conductor seemed rude to me, don't you think Imi,” Ikkus stated. “Ya he kinda was,” Imikamaru replied, “Don’t know why though.”
“Maybe because your a STUPID IMP,” Kaze yelled. “Now, now. No need to use your tongue in that matter sir Kaze.” Ikkus mumbled, rubbing his eyes. “Also, I’m used to treatment of that sort, being a fiend of the Lowest Worlds.” “It’s a good thing that we saved you from your old masters, Ikkus,” Imikamaru said. They continued down the road to the bar.
They heard it before they saw it, a pretty loud and seemingly rough bar brawl was going on within Lucky Duck. They enter the bar confused at what’s happening. “Ima go ask the bartender for some drinks and what’s going on,” said Imikamaru. “I will go if I wanna pound some faces in,” said kaze excitedly! “OH! HEY YOU THREE!” The bartender shouted in their direction, over the noise of the brawling customers, “SO, AS YOU CAN SEE I GOT A BIT OF A BRAWL ISSUE. DON’T MIND THEM JUST SOME DISAGREEMENT OVER GODS OR WHATEVER. CAN I GET YOU ANYTHING?”

Imikamaru walks to the bartender and says, “I’ll take three Sake please.” “ONLY 2,” Kaze shouted, kicking someone through the wall. Ikkus climbed out of his holding bag, glazing around, “Well then. Guess he’s going to be busy for a bit. Mister Imi, pass one over please and thank you.” “Here,” he responded. “What’s that you have on your back, kid,” the bartender said. “Oh they’re an imp,” Imikamaru stated. “Interesting,’ the bartender said.
“Ya I found him beaten to the brink of death 5 years ago,” Kaze yelled from across the bar. “I wouldn’t say on the brink… Maybe a few feet away or so.” Ikkus muttered, as they were mixing random drinks. “Here’s your drink, kid,” the bartender stated, “and tell you friend to stop breaking everything. He has already put two holes in the wall and broken like 6 tables!” “I’ll go see if I can.” Ikkus murmured, turning to focus in Kaze’s direction they whispered a spell, “Frigidus, congelatus et immobilis…” “Thanks, Ikkus,” said Imikamaru. “C.. you un… ….” Kaze mumbled through the frozen spell.
“Maybe… but you look better as a statue, so why should I?” Ikkus grumbled, with a slight smirk. “Kaze, if you stop going crazy and just sit down, they’ll undo the spell,” Imikamaru ordered. “Fine,” Kaze mumbled under his breath. “ Omitto..” Ikkus yawned, the spell’s effects melting away, “ Try not to act up again please, magic just makes me feel even more drained…” “Just don’t act up Kaze, we're all tired from the train ride,” Imikamaru demanded. “Oh yeah,” Kaze mumbled, passing out. “Ah. Don’t worry, sir bartender. This happens a lot, I’ll just levitate him.” Ikkus mumbled, “It seems we overstayed our welcome, we’ll be going then. Before sir Kaze here wakes up and wreaks havoc once again ....”

They walk out of the bar and continue with their journey. When they left they were met by a group of bounty hunters. “Drop everything kazenae enchico,” one yelled! “Ah, this day just keeps getting better. “ Ikkus growled softly, readying their spells, “Friends of yours Kaze? They seem to know you.”

Steps of the Immortal Tree
Evan stood on a hill, staring calmly at the gate of his former clan. A crowd waited behind him, some eyeing the clan in an unresigned manner, others looking at their spiritual support. Some of the young children shivered at the gnawing cold. Wind howled in his ears, seemingly deploring his fate. A silvery cloud drifted over the mountains surrounding the compound. The roar of a river could be heard from underneath its frozen surface. He had reincarnated many years ago. Hailed as a prodigy from his youngest age, Evan had seemingly tread on a path to invincibility. He had gotten married with his childhood sweetheart and had cultivated with a group of friends, forming a considerable power of his own. Yet now, here he was, devoid of any path to move forward, with his energy locus destroyed. His wife was dead and his branch had been kicked out of the clan. He looked at his progeny that had been entrusted to him. The baby seemed content in his father’s strong arms, too young to understand anything but the warmth of the father’s beating heart. Signaling to the people behind him, he turned around and the procession gradually disappeared in the distance, as the sun gradually set and the stars acted as a guide. --- Author-san here. I originally started this novel on another account, but lost the login information for it, so I'll be restarting this story here. Thanks for understanding! This is my first fiction, so I appreciate any and all feedback! (^^) The cover picture is by Yuji Himukai (as pointed out by Truis). I found it on the internet. Please contact me if you want to have it taken down. If anyone is interested in drawing a cover, send it to me. I'll put it up if I feel it represents the book well, with your name in the credits.
