Ackster slept the entire day, only waking up to eat, after which he returned to his bed and slept the rest of the night. And when he woke up—
'Continue.'
'Of course…'
Ackster picked up the next weight and started a new cycle of mobility exercises. The routine continued with the occasional rest day until he reached the heaviest weight. At that point, Bo finally showed up again.
The first thing he did was give Ackster a scrutinizing look.
"Passable."
Ackster sighed and finished his last cycle before collapsing on the ground. But Bo wasn't in a mood to let him rest more than necessary.
"Up with you."
Ackster stood up and wiped the sweat from his brow as he watched Bo set up a set of pillars around the stone area. Holes varying in size from the thickness of a cat's claws to fists lined the hollow, wooden pillars.
'I've got a bad feeling about this.'
