Tara

As I enter the cave, I could feel the angry energy the spirits were releasing.

"Spirits from the grave, I have returned your stolen charms", I said holding up the bag, "Please, guide me to where they belong"

The energy soon became calm, what a relief. It feels like a weight was lifted off my...well entire body rather than my just shoulders. Suddenly, there was a glow coming from the bag. It was one of the charms. When I took it out, it levitated from my hand and started moving towards one of the graves like a compass. I followed it to a grave and the more I got closer, the more it glowed. With each charm I placed on their graves, the area kept getting calmer. It felt...peaceful, in a way. By the time I got to the last grave, the spirits appeared before me.

"Our graves have been restored", said a bison spirit, "Hornless one, you have done a good deed, a deed you did not need to do. The spirit rejoices in your bravery"

"On behalf of my crew members and I, we are glad to put your souls at ease", I said with a smile.

The spirit that spoke to me gave me a nod and a smile. Then one by one, they disappeared for my eyes. With the deed finish I turned around to return to my friends.

"Wait hornless one", said a spirit, "I wish to join you"

"But, what about your peace"

"I have spend my life living in peace already, now I want to have the adventure I never had", the spirit said, "Let me honor your courage by joining you"

"...If you insist, I will let you"

"Thank you", the spirit said, "Just call upon my name, Wind Speaker, by using my charm I give to you".

The charm I gave back, levitate towards me. Then his spirit went into the charm, a blue glow shined and twinkled from it. This is amazing. Another spirit traveling with me. I wrapped the charm around my arm for it was too wide to wear around my neck. I exit the cave.

"Tara, thank goodness you're okay", Gaspard said.

"Wait", said one of the bison warriors, "You, you are wearing one of the charms", he said raising his voices

I was afraid this would happen, " Wind Speaker, please come out", I said holding the charm.

The charm I wore started to glow brighter and brighter until it shined. After I opened my eyes, there he was, with his hand out.

"Stop!", Wind Speaker shouted, "I have asked this hornless being to take me along with them, let her and her companions go"

Upon seeing this, the bison warriors lowered their weapons and let us leave. Wind Speaker gave them a bow then turned into a ball of light to going back into the charm I held. Now with that being done, we need to get Merriweather.

15 minutes later...

"You have returned, and you have done what you promised", The Chief said.

"Yes, we have restored harmony to the spirit of your ancestors", I said.

"If so, then why do you still hold one", Shadow of the Moon asked pointing.

I took the charm out the neck and held it up for the bison to see, "The one name Wind Speaker asked me to take him along our adventure, if you want proof, I can summon him"

"No need", Said the Chief, "I see in your eyes the truth you tell"

"Are you sure you want to trust this hornless being with such a trinket?", another bison questioned.

"Yes Thunder Hoof", The Chief said nodding, "And as for our promise, both claw feet are free to go"

"Thank you for your trust and patience Chief", I thanked bowing.

"May we meet again"

I gently nod my head then walked with my friends as we made our to Merriwheather and Ms. Quinn.

"You're back, how'd it go? Are we free?", Merriwheather asked.

"Yes", I said smiling as I watch the bison cut the rope.

"Oh thank you kindly, friends", Nurse Quinn thanked rubbing her wrist, "I don't know what we'd do without you lot"

"How can we ever repay ya'll?", Merriwheather said.

"We'll explain on our ship", I said.

They both couldn't agree more. When we got to the ship, we set sail for Cooper's Roost. I must see how Corporal Sanders is doing. Oh I hope he's still alive. Please, please, plleease be alive. My prayer is soon interrupted by Merriwheather, who asked about my repayment. Oh right. I tell him about Marco's map.

"Doubtless one of my father's charts, I'll be happy to help you find it"

Yes! That piece is going to be ours hopefully soon.
