-Break-Φ On the back of the rhinoceros beetle he and his brother run me and Suzuka through the trees at incredible speed, he says, "Sorry again for attacking you.""It is fine, as long as you get our friend healed," I say turning my head to the right.On the back of the stag beetle, Suzuka is holding Orb with her only tail left, and on her face is a look of excitement. "You really can move fast!"With a tone indicating pride, he says, "I am the fastest man in the entirety of the beastkin, don't underestimate me!"Looking at her, I say, "I thought bugs freaked you out."With a look of disbelief, Suzuka says, "He isn't a bug he is a person, you really are rude.""DON' T PRETEND LIKE YOU'RE HIGH-MINDED NOW. It was due to your freaking out that we almost died when we fell!"With a disapproving look, she says, "Bringing up such ancient history, what a displeasing man you are!""You really are insane," I say tired.She hits me, so I hit her back and this continues until Orb groans, which c
-Break-Location: Abbán's houseΦ Sitting beside Iancu, I tap my foot again, and again feeling anxiety as Orb waits in the room with Abbán, but as I do this the beetle brothers sing jolly songs right beside us.Feeling irritated at the loud noise, I say, "SHUT UP!" which frightens them."You're both so loud for no reason, can't you guys understand the situation or does your brain not work, do you want me to beat you both until you understand?"Malachy gets up and says, "I get stronger every time I fight, the next battle won't go so well for you."Proteus, says, "You better understand that bat boy."Iancu with a look of surprise, says, "Don't drag me into your nonsense, and I am not a bat but a nightmare."Proteus then says, "You're a Fomorian, I thought you said you were human."Annoyed Iancu kicks Proteus down and while stomping on him, he says, "I already told you I am human, and a nightmare it isn't difficult to understand. So don't go referring to me as a Fomorian or whatever you
As I walk towards the giant door fear starts to fill my heart. I shake after each step, sweat trickles down my face, and my breathing becomes hefty, it feels like I am a baby facing down a wonderbeast.There are many people in this room who could kill me as I am currently, and there is nothing I can do about it, yet they are all bowing in the face of the monster I am walking towards. The fear is so much, so intense that I stop walking and start to panic.I could die, right now my life will could truly come to an end, my father, Orb, no one can save me. I will have accomplished nothing in my life, all I will have done is cause pain to others.But worse than that, if I was to die right now what would change for anybody? Willow and Orb will cry, but they will both swallow their sadness like they have done in the past for everyone's benefit. Buloke will become the leader of the village, and even Suzuka will definitely make more friends, even my master will find more students.What have I
With my back against Suzuka, I say, "Where is he?""He is moving around us so fast, that it wouldn't even matter if we could tell.""Then what are we supposed to do?""Simply strike against him when he attacks, but that is probably too hard for someone weak like you."Angered, I say, "We will see about that! And when this fight is over I will crush you next.""Bring it on!"Eventually, he attacks Suzuka, and she quickly moves to strike him back. But after she launches her counterattack she simply stands there."What are you doing?"She immediately covers herself in all her tails and starts to bounce around the room, saying, "No creepy crawlies!"With both her and the third person now moving around the room randomly, I say, "Enough!" Then activating my legacy increases the gravity of everything in the room pinning everything down, this crushes some of the items in the room including all of the put-out candles.Moving over to the window, I open the curtain and say, "Now let me look at y
Turning his head away from me, Dillion says, "I don't need to learn how to fight from a girl."Iancu on the floor starts to laugh, at me so I knock him in the head with my tail, and then say, "My dad taught me how to deal with such a situation."Getting in front of Dillion, I kneel down then using my fist I punch the ground and crave it in with causes Dillion to fall on his butt.As he is shaking on the ground, I ask again, "So would you like to be trained by me."Bowing, Dillion says, "YES!""Is that how you refer to your master!""I WOULD LOVE TO LEARN FROM YOU MASTER."Turning to face Iancu, I say, "Leave, because I can't share my secrets with one that is not my student."Getting up, he says, "Alright it is not like I want to learn anything from you anyway."Φ As I move to go away, I am grabbed by Dillion who says, "Please don't leave me only with her I am scared.""Sorry, but as she said I can't stay.""Then join our training.""Sounds like a pai-."Before I can finish Dillion sta
-Break-Location: Abais CastleΦ Feeling a tingling in my nose I sneeze and open my eyes. Then as I do I see some kind of creature on my face.I scream, which wakes up Willow beside me, and he says, "Maple what's wrong!"I point to the creature on my nose, and as he sees it, Willow instantly reaches for it and says, "Get off of her."The creature moves away from me, and as it does, I see it is around the size of Buloke's fist, and it is quite thick throughout its body.The creature then starts to glow as if it is made of light and then files around the room, as this happens both me and Willow chase it around the giant room, we are all in but we are unable to catch it.As we do this the giant doors to the room we are in open and a woman walks in and claps his hand bringing which makes the creature fly towards him."I see you two are having a good day."The woman in front of us is a beastkin like the rest of the people we have met, she looks like a sheep.Willow immediately becomes very
Location: Abais CastleΦ Entering another set of giant doors, I see a ridiculously large table in front of us a circular one, covered in vines.And sitting at the top of this table is one of the ministers we met yesterday, Cultúir.With a pleasant smile, she says, "How wonderful it is to see you accepted my invitation."It was an invite? If felt more like they were telling us we had to go here.Composing myself, and getting on my tippy toes, I say, "It is a pleasure to be here as well."As Cultúir is about to say something, Willow looks at me strangely and says, "Where did this Maple come from?"Proudly, I say, "Certain forms of training have been passed down so the village chief could deal with outsiders well.""How enthralling.""Don't say such things about me," I say hitting Willow repeatedly but lightly in the chest.Suddenly the maid behind us coughs, and then we stare back at Cultúir who looks less than pleased at us ignoring her."It must be fun to be young and in love.""You d
Location: Grand hall of EcheAs the eccentric lecture rampages on with her teachings in front of all of us, I take the time to form my thoughts.Through this one class, I have learned quite a bit about this place. First, they all speak the heroes song, after seeing so many of them speak it I can confirm it is simply the universal language down here.Secondly, it seems they all think the humans were completely wiped out, and everything on the outside has frozen over.And from other statements they have made, I can rightfully assume they have all been living here since before Victoria froze over and became Fimbulwinter.This has made me extra cautious in regard to protecting our identity. Because we are their only key to the outside world, and if we are not careful we could even start a human-beast war like in all of my childhood books.However, I doubt they could do anything to the human nations which have advanced much further since the time humans were the slaves of the beastkin.Sti
