3 - To Begin with a Step

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 you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

"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.
