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

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

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

She says giving the girl walking over to her.The woman then corrects herself and says, "Deirfiúr na gréine." Which is a term in more classical heroes song, a version of the song that no one in the village or outside the village tends to use.The term means sister of the sun. With a bright smile, Cultúir asks, "Yes what is it.""The pipes understand, Ronald's bakery has burst which has caused flooding, and it seems Moris had used the Uisslí plants for his own recreational use so we have none to make any pipes.This has caused a big stir as his bread was recently going to be used as a prize for the upcoming Gaelic tournament, and now those who usually eat his bread are fighting with those who want to save it for the sports tournament, this has caused some to even start fighting.But the worst part is some of the kids participating in the tourn

    -Break-Location: Grand hall of Eche; Dinning HallΦ With a plate in my hands, walk up to where all the food is, and it is tremendous. Ever where I look I see food glistening as if the messiah has fallen down on it.So with my stomach grumbling I reach out my hand and prepare to take what I want, but then I am stopped by a beastkin with a weapon at his side, who says, "Don't try and be funny, Fanalis you know which food is yours."So, I stretch my arm, away from the food I was about to grab and to another dish, but he makes the same angered look that he had on before. So I repeat this process, till my hand ends up hovering over food that is clearly made from bugs."You can't be serious?""Are you sick in the mind you Fanalis, stop complaining and take what your kind eats as normal."Filling my plate full of bugs, I get up and walk away till I meet Dillon and Suzuka. Sitting down beside them, I say, "Hey Dillion why can't I take any of the other food there?""What the Fanalis eat is he

I thought we would have been able to get more out of it.""Well what use is there complaining about it tonight, it won't bring it back from the dead.""I guess you're right, so let's simply party today to make u

As it stands the little girl seems like she would be very easy to control.""So should we move on with the next step of our plan?" Olc asks."Sadly, not yet, one thing I learned is that one of the people she is looking for seems to be the one who holds all the power among the humans who live above us.This means our plan to use the girl to control the humans won't work without killing this other human first. But to do that we are to go ahead with our plan, we now need a bit more info. Leisciúil did you do the inspection like I asked?""Yes, my people doubled checked and without at doubt falling from that height would have killed a normal person.

    Location: City of GoriasΦ For six days a festival has been raging on within the city of Gorias, and the entire providence of Gorias.The beastkin during the festivals made it a point to dress in clothes far more ornate than usual; wearing flowers throughout their bodies, or dressing in clothes made entirely out of plants.Clothes made out of animals had the motif of using materials from animals their innate beast was hunted or were hunted by as a sign of greater connection.The druids made clothes out of plants that could be modified with their beast blood battle, allowing them to change their designs of the clothes, and throughout the city, designated druids were given instructions to change the clothes of those who passed by.Many wore jewellery such as brooches, pins, armlets, rings, and torcs against the animal parts of their bodies as a way to honour their heritage, while many others decorated their bodies with paint or tattoos which represent ancient stories or those who they c

    Minagrain in front of me turns incredibly nervous, and she blushes again and again. Her ears start to move wildly, and she takes her tail and uses it to cover her face. She jumps from one foot to the next and then falls to the ground while still holding her tail.Then she looks at me, and she nods."Was that a, yes?" A say with a face of disbelief."Yes," She gestures towards me.I pick her up, twirl her around, and say, "I happen to be the happiest man around!"She turns more and more red as I twirl her around, and we both laugh together. Then stopping I hold her tight and put the ring on her finger which makes her raise her arm to stare at it, before looking directly at me and smiling.Is it even fair to be this cute? Is it even fair to be this adorable? It is like this little girl has a grip on my soul, and there is nothing I can do about it. I am completely dominated by her."Don't worry Minagrain, I will get this traded for some jewellery for your tail instead of this human tradi

    Aurelius looked up at me with a pained and frustrated expression. It is the face of someone who has had to swallow a harsh reality that they would rather reject under all circumstances."What? Is the truth hard to hear? Well as you said people are free to make whatever choices they want, so if she didn't like it, she could have just killed herself couldn't she have.""Setanta shut the hell up!""But you would hate that wouldn't you, you want her to be alive and suffer through all of that, just so you can make her pump out her fifth set of kids that look like you don't you."He raises his fist to punch me, and as he does, I say, "Hit me all you want but understand that the only reason you can is because I let you. You're no different than a pet biting its master in this moment, you can get as sad and angry as you want but your survival demands good behaviour.Even after all I said you still want to live so bad that you won't punish me for my words.

Then he moves towards Culainn and Aurelius pulling them out of harm's way."You ok old man, do you need some worms?"Culainn looks at Setanta and says, "Don't make fun of birds you stupid wolf."Setanta smiles, then gets up and faces Dáire, then he says, "First son of the Lugh Ó Faoláin, next head of the house of Faoláin and the next king of Gorias, Setanta Ó Faoláin. I give you only until the next time I blink to explain to me what just happened to my compatriots."Blinking, he says, "Times up."Setanta glares at all of them with a ferocity that makes many of them except Dáire elite warriors shudder in fear.Dáire looks at Setanta, and says, "Son of Lugh, a human was caught walking in our lands, and will be judged by the rules of it.""This is Biorg land.""But this is the providence of Findias, so it still all falls under the con

Any member of the village would be aware of this.""You sold us out?"With a disgusted expression, Daragh says, "Of course I did you human. No matter how I am treated I know not to make deals with the devil that could curse all my people."Daragh walks away and as he does a man comes out from the mob of people throughout the forest, and says, "Good work my son, you have truly shown that it was worth raising you."As his father rubs his head, he makes

But don't hold it against him, the little boy seems to be in a dire strait."Beside me Daragh comes up and looks at the horses, so I turn to him and say, "Do you want to touch one?""Can I!" He says with a bright expression.Picking him up, I hold him near the horse and say, "Horses are very highly perceptive, and will sense distrust. So, make sure to earnestly approach.""I will."He slowly brings his hands close and then touches its head. As he does the horse playfully rubs its head against Daragh's hand, and he looks back at me whilst saying, "He is touching me back! I think he likes me!""You're right about that, it seems he senses what a good man you are."Daragh looks at the horse, and says, "They never let me go near one back at home.

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
