《Cinder Souls II》Side Story #1. Chapter 21.1
Advertisement
Carmello shows the group towards the way of the village of the one who made the request. Ryan has been fairly quiet as they make their way down the dirt roads and across great lengths to reach this village. The reason for this is he is going over every single miracle that Ryan believes is castable in his current state. Ryan has also been using the quietness surrounding him to get used to his sharpened senses.
With the Undead Legion traveling for about 7 hours, Ryan can sense sharp breathing from the small and frail Carmella. Ryan, raises hand and the three behind him stop dead in their tracks. Ryan, who is in the front of the group, turns around to face them. He looks down at Carmella, who is no taller than 5' tall, and she gives him a stare of determination and will power.
"Carmella, if you need too, we can take a break." Ryan speaks with a hint of command in his voice, as if implying that Carmella is to not push herself too far. Carmella laughs at Ryan and shakes her head back and forth.
"Thank you for worrying about me, but we have no time to waste. We must get there as fast as possible if we are to not let anymore people die!" Carmella's voice is unwavering and Ryan knows he cannot convince the woman to take a break.
In all honesty, the group would already be there if they ran but Carmella doesn't have the speed of Carmello and Ryan or the endurance of Mountain so they decided to stay at Carmella's pace until they arrived. Ryan has thought of a plan though, something that will make them arrive very soon.
"Well if that's the case Carmella, you'll have to climb unto my back and I will carry you there." Ryan says while walking towards Carmella. She just laughs with a raspy voice and doesn't object to Ryan's offer. He squats down and Carmella jumps onto his back. She holds onto Ryan tightly and he stands straight up.

"Mountain, do you have any transformations to increase your speed?"
Mountain shakes his head up and down and focuses for a second. After waiting a little bit, the muscles in Mountain's legs begin to grow and pulsate with power. Ryan raises an eyebrow and chuckles slightly to show he is impressed with Mountain's transformation.
"Alright, Carmello, show us the shortcut through the woods that you were talking about earlier. Just go at a pace that is fine with Mountain." Ryan commands and Carmello looks a little skeptical. Carmello knows that Mountain can now keep up with him but the question is can Ryan?
"Are you sure you can keep up Boss?" Carmello says with an antagonizing tone. Ryan and Mountain both look at each other and begin laughing hysterically. Mountain laughs so hard he bends over and holds his gut. Carmello just clicks his tongue and looks away as the two continue to laugh.
Ryan and Mountain wipe away their fresh tears and calm down with a few deep breaths.
"You're a funny guy Carmello. Now lead the way. We will be behind you."
Carmello's eye brow is twitching from anger at Ryan's provocation but he does not dare talk back. Carmello looks to the forest to everyone's right and vanishes from eye sight to lead Mountain and Ryan to where the quest is. With noticing that Carmello is gone, the other three vanish from sight as well, diving deep into the forest to kill this Abyssal Dragon.

Dear Spellbook (Link to rewrite in blurb)
A rewrite of this story has been posted here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/49881/dear-spellbook-a-fantasy-time-loop-rewrite Live. Study. Repeat. Tal is a sorcerer in a world where they are killed on sight, traveling with a man charged with carrying out the task. Every night Tal must pretend to study his spellbook to maintain his disguise as a Wizard’s Apprentice. If his disguise slips and his charade is uncovered, it will be his death. Seeking answers to mysteries that arose after his parent’s murder, Tal must accept any allies, no matter the risks, to uncover his family’s secret. But when he wakes up one morning to find himself trapped repeating the same day, he has to overcome his challenges all on his own. This story is an adaptation of a D&D campaign I ran but never was able to complete. I tried to capture the feel of a table-top RPG session —tropes and humor— without relying on the mechanics. This is not a litRPG or gamelit story and no D&D mechanics or system appear in the game. It follows one member of an adventuring party as he deals with the problems with that arise from being an adventurer. Namely, getting roped into adventures. The story has a time loop element, but will eventually move past that. This story explores the magic systems, the history, and the lore of the world through the lens of Tal's entries in his Spellbook and interludes from other written works in the world. New entries on Mondays Credit to JackOfHearts for the cover.
