Skelly waved his hand towards himself as if he was calling him. John guessed that Skelly wanted him to follow him. Skelly started walking toward the small chapel and opened the trap door and went downstairs. He was following Skelly closely behind him, just in case there was any danger, they started walking towards complete darkness.
John couldn't see what was going on in front of him and was worried that he would encounter anything while being walking blindly in the darkness. At least having Skelly in front of him added another layer of confidence and feeling of safety. Skelly disarmed the mechanism of the booby traps and continued walking with John toward the Laboratory.
The laboratory was pitch black, he decided to summon his flame, the flame wasn't very bright, but it was enough to illuminate part of the room, he found some old candles and he started to commune with his flame the communication was through intention 'flame please burn those candles, I need them to light up' the flame had turned black and the candles were lit up. After lighting up the nearby candles, he had a clearer view of the laboratory. He started putting everything that could be important in his spatial pouch, including the books.
Skelly started walking out of the room and John quickly followed to be stopped by Skelly 'Does he wants me to wait here for an unknown amount of time' was confused, but the returned to one of the tables and pulled a chair that seem to be able to handle his weight. The chairs were so old that they might actually crumble anytime. John sat on the table and started laying his tools on the table. He started making bone dust, he milled a total of 500kg of bone dust from the other skeletons.
John started putting multiple piles of bone dust on the floor. John punctured his finger and dropped a droplet of blood on the first pile, pulled his tome out of the and started his incantation. He noticed that the incantation was saying this phrase two times, he was so focused the first time to spell it right that he didn't noticed this before "renaitno crouy otni sihtm rofsnartd na, doiveht morf dellup si luos a." The droplet of blood once again started devouring the pile of bone dust until and big light reddish orb formed in front of him and began to take the shape of another skeleton. He continued doing this four more times until he began feeling fatigued and started having a headache.
In front of John four more skeleton were standing up, looking at each other and then looking at the weak looking kiddo who was their master. He noticed that the pose of these skeletons were different, some seem to have a feminine accent to it. John gave names three females Tibia, Fibula and Ulna and the two males Femury and Radius. He passed the clothing he had on his spatial pouch and passed it on to the skeletons.

Skelly went and checked the other tunnels, he started on the left side and it wasn't very long, and there was a coffin at the very end, it was the guardian's coffin. He looked at the wall behind the coffin, the wall had a series of words written in it "Here lies the guardian of the Greyoak family's secrets, he has protected the Mausoleum for almost a century without and was given the family as a way to honor him, May he rest in peace". Inside of the coffin there was actually a sealed pouch, Skelly picked it up but didn't bother to open it up.
He walked back, and started walking towards the tunnel on the right. He haven't been on this tunnel yet, but this tunnel wasn't ordinary it was long, and it seemed to go on and on. After some time walking he decided to go back, he had already walked around 30 minutes and then decided to come back since the tunnel didn't seem to end anytime soon.

Skelly walked into the lab, and it crowdier than usual, John had walked toward and the other Skeleton followed him. Skelly brandished his sword. John chuckled, "You don't have to worry about them, they are going to be your brother in arms". Those two are called Femury and Radius and those three are Tibia, Fibula and Ulna while winking at Skelly. 'So it's no longer just us, now we have more companions that's great!' When Skelly saw John's winked he almost almost died of embarrassment, but not like he cares any longer since he already died previously.
Skelly went to greet the other Skeletons, but they stayed quiet despite him trying to make casual conversation. Ulna stepped forward and said "They aren't aware right now and only Master can move then by giving them instructions." Skelly was surprised since he didn't expect the skeleton to talk to him "If that is so, how are you and I able to talk and have a level of awareness that the other skeletons don't have" Ulna coquettishly laughed while covering mouth "I guess just like you, you remember who you were before turning into a skeleton. For that to happen you first to need to have a strong soul able to survive in the underworld."
John interrupted momentarily "I'm hungry right now Skelly! The town is about an hour walk from here, we should start moving!"
Skelly and Ulna continued their conversation as they were walking and started exchanging their life story. Skelly began telling his story to Ulna he was talking how he used to be a hero to a certain country and how he did this and that, the more he talked about himself the more she felt like she heard about these things before. Ulna interrupted him "Are you perhaps Sir Lucas Valkyson the Demon Slayer?" and Skelly was surprised by the question and accepted who he was. Ulna eyes were glowing stronger than they were a second ago and were burning with hate. "You are no hero Lucas Valkyson, certainly not for me, not my family members and none of my country men!"
"The Demon Lord was definitely not a bad person, if you have to blame someone for the Lord's merciless actions was those noble cowards hiding behind your king's back. At the very beginning our countries had been friends for many generation, but our friendship was destroyed when one of the nobles didn't send a parcel from our king himself severing their relationship forever. The Demon Lord's kingdom was going through famine because of the winter and decided to raid one of the town in the outskirts of his kingdom and it reached the ears of the king that he had turned into a vile character. The Demon lords asked for their help for many weeks ahead of time, but no one came." Ulna recounted the truth of what happened during the demon's lord war.
"Skirmishes turned worst and worst until it had gone into a standstill, until you appeared and destroyed the balance. The war would have ended before if you wouldn't have intervened and motivated the war into continuing. Now that I know who you are, let me tell you who am I! I was Wysteria Darkwood the the king's appointed court mage. But now that you know! We no longer owe anything, to our previous life and we can continue our life anew as Skelly and Ulna, our hate towards each other is bound to dissipate over time as we have a common goal" Ulna said quickly not letting Skelly speak at all. Skelly stayed quiet and was surprised to have met someone from his previous world 'I am going to work with Wysteria the soul eater, people used to be scared of her as she used to be on of the most powerful necromancer of the Darkmoon kingdom!'
