Legacies of light Arc 10.17: Please help us
-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
Legacies of light Arc 10.19: Fear and regret
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

Arc 10.113: Ferdiad part 5
I sent the kids to bed and stayed awake all night waiting for him in our bed, eventually, he strolled back in, and I instantly moved towards him.Cambell was covered in wounds, so I ran up to him and asked, "What happened?"As I came up to him, I grabbed whatever I could see to put over his wounds, but he shouted, "DON'T TOUCH ME!" And swiped me away.Then he got up and started walking."Cambell, please let me help you!""If you want to help me, stay away and keep your daughter away from me as well. The only reason you get to stay here is because I need you so that my wage stays up, Ferdiad future is all that matters now."I freeze and stop momentarily, then say, "Minagrain is your-."He throws a bowl at the floor beside me then says, "Don't lie to me anymore, or I might just kill you."Cambell moves into our room and locks the door, and I just move beside it then start to cry while whimpering, "Sorry."Our days got harsher from then on.Minagrain and Ferdiad came into the house cryin
Arc 10.112: Ferdiad part 4
He was a rough and harsh man who cared only for himself the entire night. I had learned to wait through it when it came to people like him with a smile.He mumbled countless things to inflate himself as many others did, and I just responded with confirmation and an accepting face as I always did, but then he randomly came to a stop and asked me one question, "Am I better than my brother?"The face he gave me as he said this wasn't one of arrogance or pride, it wasn't one of a man looking for some sick pleasure in taking the woman who his brother sees as property, it was that of a man who was one moment away from breaking down.Seeing his expression I was shocked to silence and didn't answer his question which caused him to tear up and say, "I knew it, even in this moment I can still never beat him at anything."He collapsed in on me and started crying. I don't know if it was the shock of the situation or an instinct buried deep within me, but when I saw this man cry like he had just r

Swatting her away, I say, "I have no more time for the tricks of you snakes!"Pouting, she says, "I have no tricks, I would have you know that I just hate waste, and right now you're wasting your life.""It's none of your business how I live my life.""But my Faoláin blood is just commanding me to fix the misalignment in front of me."Turning to her, I say, "Faoláin blood?"Getting close to me again, she says, "My mother was a Faoláin, the wife of Bricriu.""That's impossible all of the Faoláin's except for Lugh were killed!"Dancing around like a fairy, "She was a woman named Airmedh a beautiful warrior who despite her gender was poised to be the next head of the Faoláin's for a time. The Faoláin head at the time cared very little for tradition. He favoured results. and she had many.Before Medb came there was a good chance she would be the first woman to ever be in charge of one of the four providences, and while many opposed this, many thought it made her the most precious jewel in
Arc 10.110: Keepsake part 3
Looking at me, the boy says, "You should have raised this boy to learn more respect, because that was completely ridiculous.""I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT FROM SOMEONE WHO GOES AROUND HITTING CHILDREN!"I instantly move towards my son and help him up, "Don't worry Kian, mommy is here. Does it hurt anywhere; do you need me to kiss your wound?"Pushing me back, he says, "Stop being so annoying and get off of me you old witch."The boy hits Kian back into the ground, and says, "Don't take that tone with your mother you brat, or I will be making sure you don't get up again after my next blow!"Ryan says, "Why are you here young man?"With a cocky smile, he says, "Wouldn't you like to know?"Emma takes off her shoes and then moves towards the boy to whack him, but Ryan stops her and she says, "Just let me give him one good whack to straighten out his head.""You can't do that, just look at how he carries himself he is obviously some sort of noble brat.""We already have one unruly brat to de
Arc 10.109: Keepsake part 2
That's why I accepted the request you made that day."Ryan, would you join me for the Laochs campaign?""Brother so far, we have only gone on monster hunting and slave catching with our band. Going to war, especially for the Laoch who have near-suicide tactics wouldn't be sane."Getting on his hands and knees, Cian says, "I know this might sound reckless, but I need the money.""Money? You know Mom and Dad will give you money for whatever you do.""Niamh is pregnant. They were close to kicking me out of the family when I married her. In their heads, they still think their perfect little boy will one day marry someone of high status and bring them prestige, so if they found out I got her pregnant I am sure they would maltreat her or even worse try something against her.So, I need to make as much money as possible and support my new family, and get her, my child, and you away from our heartless parents. I know this is selfish but there is no warrior I would ask to be by my side outside
Arc 10.108: Keepsake part 1
-One week Later-Location: Village of EasΦ I believe in true love.It is something I have always kept in my heart ever since I was a little girl.It isn't for any complex reason in the slightest, but just because my parents were always happy when next to each other.Both of them were strong people by themselves who could have lived fruitful lives on their own. Yet they choose to join together and the reactions that were caused by their union have made so much happiness that even people who don't know them can partake in it.The power of love is something that can bind people together, some think of it as a chain, but I think of it as a string. It is delicate and must be maintained because there is nothing easier to do than to break it.When I see two people who have gone through the effort to keep it maintained my heart just melts. I want that, I really do. So, during my younger years, I would spend my day playing with the little pixie wonderbeasts to look like a majestic beauty mys
Arc 10.107: The little shadow part 1
"Now as part two of my master plan, I will elicit a second grand reaction from you, and you will become so enthralled that you will answer all my questions. GENIUS, I SAY, GENIUS!""Danu must have blessed you with great amounts of beauty if you're also this dumb.""You think I am beautiful. Oh, you dirty dog trying to seduce me like that.""Women really only hear what they want to," I mutter under my breath.Getting up, she says, "Now as part two of my part two of my plan allow me to dance on your spine and get all of the evil out of your body!""Really how cool, just let me assume the position-, HELL NO!""Why? Shouldn't such an opportunity be appealing to your beastlike senses, you dirty dog.""Not a dog, and I don't like being stepped on by strange girls.""So, you like being stepping on?"Pausing for a moment, I say, "The idea of Minagrain sitting on my face is rather hot, but aside from that I don't care for such things."With a shaky, and surprized voice, she says, "Mother was r
Arc 10.106: Ferdiad part 2
Looking at Ferdiad, I say, "What do you mean fight?""You heard me, now let's start," he says as he lunges at me.I pick up Ibar and Laeg and move away from his attack then plant them on the ground and say, "Do you even know what you're doing Ferdiad!""Of course I do. You put my sister through hell, so I am going to take it out on you."Ferdiad is extremely emotional right now, far more than I have ever seen him. But at the same time there is a rage that hides behind it all, seeing this causes me to ask, "Is that the reason you're doing this?""Red branch battle arts; Star flower."He lunges forward again, and I barely manage to dodge the seven strikes, with three grazing my body.He then tries to sweep my legs with his spear, but I jump up and kick him in the face, and ask again, "Ferdiad it has been a while since we have been able to fight, so show me what you got."He smirks and then charges at me again, and at that same moment, I charge forward.Φ Setanta and Ferdiad begin to cla

"I don't feel like talking to a man such as you," I say while avoiding eye contact."What a mean thing to say, especially since it was my daughter who singlehandedly stopped you from being killed by the next head of the house of Laoch.""I think you have that backwards, Setanta would have killed Niall all by himself.""I am sure he would have if he didn't have giant weights tying him down. If Niall and the rest of his men had all attacked Setanta he would have died protecting the rest of you, I can assure you of that."Spinning my head to face him, I say, "Is there a reason you are pestering me with this?""Not really, I just think you have the funniest reactions."I grit my teeth and then say, "Ok then vanish."Bricriu looks at all my men training and says, "The fact that you a normal beastkin have the authority to train a unit filled with such great talent is amazing. Truly a light in the dark for the rest of the Fir Bolg.Setanta was right to take such a keen interest in you becaus
