First off let me apologize for the late upload, next for the shortness of my chapter.
one lead to the other due to not being able to find anything I wanted to add that I don't already know will happen later in the volume. I will however leave with saying that I plan on posting two chapters next week.
--------------------------
We have been traveling for a few hours now, not sure if they have an understanding of time since they use the setting sun as a standing point for when to setup camp. The only reason I agreed to join them back to town was that the grave that I made for Joe was suppose to be in the middle of nowhere and only about 4 miles from my house. we are even traveling in the direction of my house from it, but when re reached where it was suppose to be I kept looking but everything was different. the trees on the edge of the forest where even a different species, oak, was suppose to be the forest where we lived next to. Of course we only used it for storage even if there was a bed it was never needed to be used.
I found myself getting tired for a while now and decided to try what I did in the real/previous world in order to be able to continue to travel without sleep, meditation. What I found was interesting as I contort my brow. I feel my blood, my mussels, even my nerves as i force them all to move, but this other thing, much like gel, coursing through my body is disheartening. I do however remember that it was the same type of feeling as when I used magic, so lets just call this gel manna. I am now trying to control this manna since it seems to be a rather difficult thing to do I fall into deep trans.

"If it's that hard to sit just change your posture." I hear Lya voice from behind me
"leave him alone, if he wishes to try to meditate." Glancing in front of me I see Amon trying to take the same pose, sighing I continue as I stand "Is there something I can do for you?" Noticing that Amon glances at the fire which now has many cookware as well I get an idea, "Guess I should at least do something."
After about an hour, and having Lya go off into the woods to pick up herbs for flavoring, the four of us are having a meal that I cooked.
"This is delicious!"
"Henry please stop bant... It is!"
Even Lya just smiles as she enjoys the food. I take a bite myself and found out that it is actually horrible. There just using lip service. I quickly dismiss it as such and Finnish this abomination to food.
How long has it been since I have cooked for others. My mind flows into these thoughts as I try to sleep, me and Lya are in a tent. Rolling over I notice her breathing peaceably. Even with this lifestyle, similar to my old, she can be so. After a deep sigh I contemplate in a low voice, "Will this guilt of not being able to get close to anyone ever go away." I try my best to go to sleep as I roll to my other side.

Also since my friend here has said I should make a character sheet for Vera to make sure I don't give her abilities of actions that are outside of her abilities I made one. Let me know in the comments if you think I should add it as an extra.
