Legacies of light Arc 10.115: Serlasracht part 1
With Konrad, I spent years working and learning all he had to offer along with my peers. Inside that workshop we were not human and slaves, we were not strong and weak, we were equals with one another and for the first time in my life I could laugh alongside others.Our little family continued to grow because after every sale Konrad would bring another slave or human to our workshop, and say, "This is our new member, work them to death."Each of them where completely different than the last, but despite all of their differences they all had one similar trait, the fact that their eyes looked like they had given up on life.Despite his demeanour, and harsh tongue Konrad was a man who was as soft as a cloud, and all of us wished we could have laid on it for the rest of our lives.But peace is something easily taken from someone, and in exchange all that is left is chaos.Many didn't like the idea that so many of us slaves were being brought to a place where they weren't under watchful ey

During our first invasion into the eastern continent our forces managed to push themselves incredibly far into the humans' land completely decimating them beyond belief, but a few years into the destruction, the individual groups of humans united under one banner.It was unlike anything we had ever faced before, and soon the beastkin were forcefully pushed out of the eastern continent, and the humans even attacked into our land as retribution.This was the first giant loss the beastkin had ever faced, and the damage it did not only to our pride but to our people was immense, and on the war-thorn battlefields of our land, I found a young boy. He cried over the bodies of his parents, who had the animals aspects of their bodies craved out by the humans.I picked him up and asked, "What is your name?""Ciarán.""I see. Remember this Ciarán, from today you will never grieve like this again."During this period, I had gone out to many different destroyed battlefields and had taken any of th

Sweating, I ask, "What is it?"With a smile on his face, Bricriu says, "Let's not start off with such a heavy topic. Right now, what interests me the most is that new brooch of yours, It looks nice."This man truly is a pest, who I wish I could rid myself of, but right now he has quite a bit of power over me, so I might as well play along. "Yes. I got me and my wife new gemstones from our 2nd eldest during his wedding, so I make it into ornaments for us.""They look quite pretty. Your son has a great eye.""I agree.""He has come an awfully long way before Brían used to struggle to keep up with other people socially, but he has grown enough to even get married. It brings tears to my old eyes."No one is prouder than me and my wife.""Though it would be a shame if all of it came crashing down."I tense up, and say, "I doubt anything could bring me down from this position in my life, especially since I have the untouchable snake at my side.""Well, even I have my limits when faced with

Location: The grand Library of RathcroghanΦ As I land at the bottom of the hill, I stare at the wonderbeast known as the Ellén Trechand. A three-headed beast with wings made of copper red flowers that scatter throughout the area.It lies in the middle of a river with a large town built around it, and within it. The wonderbeast is completely integrated with the city, almost like it was made for this.Amazed by all of this I keep moving forward until I reach the main entrance, and standing outside it I say, "Now what am I going to do first?"Suddenly one of the giant heads of the Ellén looks down at me and starts to scream, and the other two heads stretch from its body and come down right next to me.All those around Ellén and me have shocked expressions, and I prepare to hit the giant head of the 60-meter beast, yet I know it would be pointless to try.From each of its three heads, I see blood rush into their mouths that suddenly turns gold as it lights ablaze. I quickly prepare to mo

Suddenly one of the druids came up to me and says, "I was expecting you Ruairí, and I assume that you are the Faoláin I heard people were raving about a little while ago."Ruairí says, "I am, and this is my new lord Setanta Ó Faoláin.""I guess I am, hello."The man looks at us in disbelief, and then says, "Please don't say things that alter the political landscape of our empire so casually like that. So my little kings what are you here for?"I take a moment to think about it, but then I say, "I would like to see where you keep the records of humankind's interactions with the beastkin over time."He looks at me with a rather shocked expression, then smiles and says, "It makes me happy that the young kings would like to learn about such things. Let's be off then."We start to walk and as we do, I look around and throughout the ridiculously tall library, filled with multiple levels connected by plants, and bones, and take the sight in.However, one thing that takes away from the beauty

Both of them start to jump on top of each other and fight against one another, and Tresa worried says, "If you guys start fighting there is a good chance the restraints will come undone."Understanding what Treasa just said, I turn around and see that Niall's green restraints have come undone. So, I put my arms against my face for protection, and I am hit into the distance.Recovering, I move forward and with a spirit energy-infused kick whack him to the corner of the room, and I say, "Did you forget how this went last time?""Not a single bit."He then moves at a speed I struggle to keep up with and hits me again, and as he does, he says, "Did you think I was at my best after being on the front lines in a war!"Feeling his killing intent, I start to prepare myself to strike back at full force, and say, "Red branch battle art-."But I am interrupted by Findabair saying, "Beast blood battle arts; Ceangailte."And then the flowers and plants within the room grow and move around Niall bi

-Break-Location: Village of Lann BhuanΦ As we leave the sword in front of the family, I smile brightly behind my face coverings.I am sure they will enjoy it. Just look at this large family all living in this house, they must really love each other.The family of twenty stands on the other side of the table facing both me and Culainn, and the grandfather who sits in front of everyone, he says, "This could probably fetch us a fair price, thank you for this?"Surprised, I say, "Wait, don't you want to keep it?""Why would I want to keep something from my failure of a son.""Huh?"Suddenly his wife says, "Uilliam died after his first battle, and cost us all of his equipment without ever paying things back. This is the least that coward could do for us.""I am sure we will be able to eat well for the next few months with this."The family in front of me starts to get cherry and giddy completely ignoring the very idea of thinking of their fallen family member.This site makes me feel lik

Then in that moment, they peer their heads up where they see their leader and an entire army of men in front of them.The man who sits at the front of the army says, "Speak."All of the men in the robes shut their mouths except one, who says, "I have located Culainn and the human, they are currently in a small village and are isolated from any other people.""Good, it seems we should be able to carry out Ciarán's request easily enough on the former head of his house."Getting up the man says, "Everyone gets your weapons ready; we will be leaving when the sun sets."As the man walks away one of the beastkin dressed in robes says, "Is this a good idea?"Their leader stops and turns aro

As the second human-beastkin war began, the humans attacked large plantations all across Terrafide, Victoria, and Molstoria, completely decimating the beastkin and pushing back their forces in Molstoria.On each battlefield they won they freed all human slaves there, and increased their army size.Word of their victories spread as beastkin ran from battlefield to other locations sending warnings of the oncoming invasions, which soon spread to the humans there causing massive uprisings even before Charles armies had arrived.However, after a series of uprisings, the Red branch armies mobilized and started to meet the humans. But to the shock of many, the armies of the Red branch were mostly defeated again, and again.Eventually, this led to an eight-month long war that the beastkin were losing, and in response to this, the leaders of the beastkin gathered in one place to discuss the events.Location: Ríchathaoir Dhanu; Home of the high king in the centre providence of TaraΦ Sitting ac

My skin tenses up with rage, but Péatra grabs my arms and says, "Right now if you cause a scene in front of everyone it will be a mess and a show of weakness to the people."Restraining myself, I look at Bricriu who says, "Cú Culainn the warrior whose name has been spread far and wide throughout the empire has committed a grave sin.He has aided human slaves in their escape from the empire, siding with the idea that they deserve to be treated as equals to us. He has betrayed both the empire and his blood.These slaves are now loose carrying critical information about our empire and will aid our enemies in upcoming battles. But do not worry as Ferdiad has bested Cú Culainn today, he has overcome the rapid warrior and now stands on top of the greatest talent in the empire!"Walking forward Ferdiad says, "Know this as long as I stand at the head of my generation. I will never allow tragedy to befall you all, I will fight tooth and nail till the east has fallen. So from today on I am Cú D

He brings me closer to him and tightens his restrictions which causes me to bleed, and then he says, "Don't waste your future by doing something so stupid my young king."Laughing a bit, I say, "It is nice to know you care for me, but I can assure you of something your future king can never be restrained from doing what his heart desires.""You may be strong, but don't forget that this is the second time you lost to me.""And since when did a Faoláin allow his weakness to remain open?"Taking in a deep breath, I shout, "RUAIRI!""Beast blood battle arts ultimate art; Fás Glórmhar!"From my mouth, I spit out a swarm of seeds, which all accelerate through their growth forming into massive trees in front of Ronald. I then lunge over towards the humans, and then the boys' troop which is ahead of us, runs down towards us."Ruairí, I need you to take both Laeg and Ibar then get them out of here. The rest of you make sure Donald doesn't follow us."Turning to the humans, I say, "Follow me!"

Standing up Scáthach looks to everyone around them, and bows her head saying, "Sorry for the disturbance it won't happen again."Using her shadows Scáthach places Minabród back on her chair and says, "Minabród your human blood is not to blame you are. You failed Ferdiad."Minabród lowers her head and barely holds back tears from coming out of her eyes."But so did I as his master, Setanta as his friend, Minagrain as his sister, and Lugh as his king. We have all failed that child in certain ways, and we will never be able to take back the hurt that has caused him, but you must simply find peace in that.""Why! Why should I find peace in that? I couldn't help him, I couldn't protect him, all I could do was hurt him like a disease, and if it wasn't due to my blood, and just due to me. Then I don't deserve to keep breathing.""Minabród kids are scary, raising a child is scary.

-Break-Φ In all of Gorias providence, there isn't a single native or visitor who isn't current in one place.Throughout the city, Druids have gathered together. Many of them wear the crest of the Faoláins, but far more are wearing the crests of each house of the Red branch, including the royal house itself.And under the instruction of Fráech and Findabair, they all say, "Beast blood battle arts; Fás."Which is quickly followed by, "Beast blood battle arts; Bog."Soon a series of giant plants set throughout Gorias grow and, the most important of them which are located near Gorias castle move into shape where they form three large platforms made of plants which are placed on top of each other from biggest to smallest.The bottom and biggest of these three platforms takes up a large portion of the castle of Gorias city, with the other two being smaller, but also extremely large as well.The druid using Bog continues to move and mould the platforms until a staircase is made leading from

In his hands is a basket, but I soon skip over it as seeing Lugh all dressed up does many things to both my mind and my body,His beautiful face is both mature and effeminate, but the aura of his body and his wounds give the impression of a hardened warrior. His muscles which show in his clothes, enrapture my eyes and never let them go.The heavenly smell of his silver hair crushes my nose, and his heavy voice which ties it all together slays my ears. Right now, he is more seductive than any man of the night, and should be locked up for indecency.Covering my eyes, I scream, "THANK YOU!"Aimee then gets up to Lugh's face, and says, "My king, it isn't good for you to see her right now. You should wait until the ceremony so you can be surprized by her looks.""I wouldn't be surprised anyway. Péatra is a beautiful woman, it isn't like she could get prettier if she tried."I let out a gross laugh in response to this, and start to drool. The maids quickly catch my drool as it falls off my

Moving to her, I knock her on the head, and say, "A murder, really?"I turn my head to the boy in the ground and lift him up from the hole.I also see he is tied with rope, so I start to untie him whilst saying, "This is why you don't hang around crazy women like her.""I am not crazy; he is a cheater!"I turn my head to Uathach and say, "I know you're lonely but don't go making up lies about men being in a relationship with you, it is slander."She jumps on my back and starts to bite me, so I say, "Let go of me." While trying to break her grip.However, to my surprise, she is so strong that I can't get her to let go of me. "Spirit energy?""Of course! NOW TAKE MY FURY WOLFIE!"She continues to tighten her body around me choking me out, and as she does this the boy who I was untying gets up and stares at me.Looking at him, I say, "HELP!"But the boy turns and runs away from me, without even acknowledging my situation. So, I just lie there whilst getting choked.In all honesty, gettin

My father moves towards his chair, and standing against it, he says, "For clarity, explain to me again why I should care about those humans?""Because we Tuatha Dé Dannan are not barbarians. You know as well as I do that the growing love, and justification for violence without any benefit is happening everywhere.If everyone's first reaction to anything they don't like is to kill everyone in front of them, it will only negatively impact us as a society going forward. Death has a purpose, and boosting our egos isn't a purpose."My father sighs, then moves towards his chair and grabs a bottle of alcohol, then says, "Hey Setanta, do you know what this is?""Alcohol.""I hate this stuff. It is a substance that makes people stupider, and wilder than they were before. Order is necessary for survive, yet this is something that makes order harder to put in place, not to mention all of the health issues it causes.At one point it became a problem in the providence that couldn't be ignored anym

-Break-Walking with the flour thief beside me in the hallway, I ignore her cries and hum to myself, but then she cries even louder while pushing the bump on her head into me.So, I start to hum much more cheerfully than before while keeping the same tone, but she continues to push into me, so I put her in a headlock and use my knuckle to aggravate her bump which causes her to say, "OWOWOWOW!"She then bites me in the arm, and I say, "You gluttony."I start to pull her hair, but she locks her legs with mine and continues to chow down on my arm, and our fight continues until we both lose energy, and I say, "You're a beast.""And you're delicious," she says licking her lips."I think I might bring forward that execution.""Try me, I will defeat you before you have the chance.""You think you can beat me?""I think I can eat you."We both get up and press our heads against each other, and I say, "You're both a glutton and a liar.""If everyone believes a lie it becomes the truth.""Nu-uh
