Chapter 24 in Being an adventurer is not always the best.

After I left the inn, I wandered the village and checked the few places I could think that Oliver might be, but there was no sign of him anywhere. I needed someone to talk to and Mia was the only person other than Oliver that I could think of. She already suspected Amelia and Kas...

I waited in the dark for the two of them to return. Anxiety built in my chest being in the dark, bits of my nightmare seeped into my mind as I wondered how far the rope was and how long they would be gone. After a short time my eyes adjusted enough that I could see a rough outlin...

Mia looked at me, she had been crying but still smiled when she saw me and moved her hand so she could hold mine. She looked back to the forest and didn't say anything for while. We sat there in silence for several minutes before she squeezed my hand and sighed. "Jax kicked me o...

Chapter 18 in Being an adventurer is not always the best.

I left Mr. Enzo's and Mia behind and rushed toward Amelia's house. Thoughts of whether I should ask her about what Mia had told her ran through my head. Should I tell her about what I did with Mia? On the edge of town I became aware of how quiet the night was, it was late. Should...
