《Bone Sage》Chapter 16: Something bad is boiling up
Advertisement
Our pals and gals left the royal palace and started preparing for another trip. They pretty much got used to them but they still feel like shit because last weeks were filled with nothing but going from a place to another just to do some jobs and then being dragged back in the carriage just to get to the other location. Of course Niha was not as tired (mentally) as others since she recently joined and she was somewhat hyped up to help even though she was trying to hide her excitement. They somehow convinced Demi they should rest and show Capital to Niha before they go. Demi offered to give them a guide if they need him but they immediately refused so he just went back to finish a few things in Golden Nebula Casino. After he left everyone sighted in relief and they finally had a chance to loosen up and have some fun. Even Melton and Henry, who were usually on the more serious side, were happy and decided to enjoy their day off. They went to look around bunch of shops and stands (food stands, not the JoJo ones) and found a bunch of things.
First they decided to buy some clothes for accessories for her. It was a late gift for their new companion as well as an attempt to make her feel more comfortable around them. Even though some time passed since she joined them it was not enough for her to completely relax and become a normal part of the group. She was a slave after all and she must've suffered through all sorts of horrible things. "I must try to make her feel like a part of the team if I want to make this team actually work" is what Melton thought as he was picking things out. Once he put a pretty hair accessory made from silver frame and emeralds on her hair she felt genuine happiness and smiled.

"Thank you Melton." She said to Melton, her face was full of happiness.
"It's nothing" Melton replied. He felt a bit unusual and as if his body tried to force him to smile but he hid it with his hand. He also felt slight warmth inside of him but he tried to ignore it. After finding some other cool things they bought them and went to the inn to have some actual good time. This time even Melton and Henry decided to get wasted since they were worked like horses and interrupted in the middle of a party last time and forced to deal with some really troublesome things for Demi once again. Since all of the guys decided to drink this time Niha decided to try to get more familiar with them and then joined too. When she said she was going to drink Henry and Melton were a bit surprised since this was the first time she participated in such an even but Mathias started cheering for her to start chugging ale down. After a long day and even a portion of the night spent drinking and relaxing it was time to actually go to rest. Everyone was either completely drunk or on the floor. Melton managed to somehow collect a bit of strength and brought Niha back to the room they rented for her. When Melton was returning back to pick Henry and Mathias and bring them back to their room he thought to himself
"Screw them. They can sleep on the floor. I am going back to my own room" and went back to his own room to get some rest. The moment he laid on his bed he fell asleep without a single worry in his mind. It was first time in a while he had a proper chance to rest and have some fun. The hungover he will have in the morning might be bad but right now there is not a single worry in his mind. Instead there is just pleasant thought of rest.

One the morning rose Melton had a big headache and barely managed to climb down to have breakfast. When he climbed down he saw Niha already waiting at one of the tables and joined her. She seemed a bit grumpy and tired but Melton decided that it is the best to just leave her be this morning. He ordered something for himself a drink and they waited for other two to arrive. After about ten minutes Henry started climbing down while holding his head and Mathias was behaving like nothing happened. It seems like his alcoholism made him immune to hangovers. After they climbed down and joined them Melton asked how did they manage to get back to their rooms. Mathias said that one of the lovely workers brought them up. Melton just went along with it and then they all ordered something to eat. Henry decided to get meat skewers, Mathias went for a steak early in the morning while Niha ordered a light salad and a soup. Melton decided to order the same thing he always does. Milky soup and some goat milk along with some bread but this time he also asked for some skewers. It seems like he really needed something that is a bit fleshy in the morning. After spending the morning eating and chatting without a single care in the world they paid for their stay, left the inn and headed to meet Demi at the location he gave them. Unsurprisingly it was Golden Nebula Casino , the pride of Demi, and there he was , along with his carriages , waiting excitedly for out heroes to use them for his own once again.
"Sometimes I wish I never met him" Melton said before started going towards him
" No turning back time so we have to handle it." Henry replied as they got towards him
"Are you ready friends? This time we are going to make big bucks" Demi said and a new chapter of their adventure began.

The Animo Saga
Before history was well-recorded in the world of Ulakam, primordial animal spirits adopted humans, provided protection and developed deep spiritual connections with them. Millennia later, humans now host animal spirits and are split into tribes named for the species they host. Ulakam is slowly being consumed by a decades-long war pitting the main tribes against the smaller tribes and a group of bandits calling themselves "the resistance". Callida Animo was born into this world. Coming from a mixed family of generational soldiers, Callida joined the family business at a young age. In her words, she was practically bred, born, and raised to be a soldier. And she's good at what she does... which inevitably attracts attention that makes her unambitious self extremely uncomfortable. Love, loss, influence and growth. This is her story. Written episodically, this story focuses on relationships and character growth through a series of mini-arcs that connect to make a greater whole. (Honestly, the story would lend itself well to a TV series.) "Episodes" range from 3-7 chapters (at least so far), and average about 4 or 5 chapters. Author's note: I'm always thrilled to receive comments, follows, ratings/reviews, messages.... All forms of feedback are welcome and encouraged. However, I have no interest in begging readers for more engagement to get better visibility. I tried that with my last story and found the game soul-sucking. So! This constitutes my only self-promotion request. If you are reading this story, let me know what you think! I love engaging with my readers. We'll see if growing the readership organically is even possible. Thank you! 😘 Release schedule: Weekly on Wednesday afternoons
