"Welcome back my boy..." Said Delfina, walking up to the sitting Esteban and hugging him tightly.
"You know, with that beard, you look like some kind of prophet or ancient sage..." The woman smiled, stroking the man's beard in front of her.

Delfina was really worried when Esteban disappeared under these mysterious circumstances. And she was also very worried about Mark, who suddenly decided to search for his friend on his own, having no more hope for official forces.

Don't fool yourself. Delfina is much older than him and more experienced, and if she really wanted to - she could easily seduce the boy and make him do whatever she wanted.
After all, Delfina can manipulate even Mark - and Mark is much tougher and more experienced...
But of course, Delfina also loves and respects a close friend of their family.

Also please note that my story is in the process of being written, and most of these small fragments that I published are not in chronological order.
(Chronology always was a real pain for me.) So when I finish my plans I will try to put everything in order. If I can...

The story and all characters belong to me  Marksan
Esteban Melinao and main story belong to  Ben Zider
The wonderful drawings and most of character desighn are kindly made for me by  sethtriggs For which I am very grateful for his help in portraying all this - because without his vision and pictures I would never have been able to tell this story. He really did a lot for me.

We still have "Tales of Chakona Discord for fans" - a cozy place where we usually gather. But after the recent ...flooding infestation, the rules were changed slightly. So ask around for an invite PM.
I am nice with talking to people. I swear. )))
