-Break-Location: Base of the great tree AnucroíΦ As we walk with Cultúir through a corridor someone runs up to her and says, "Madam.""Madam?" 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

-Break-Location: Fanalis VillageΦ As all of us kids return on the back of the beast, I say, "What an eventful day."Suzuka replies, "I cannot wait to reach that much tomorrow."Dillion then says, "We don't have any school tomorrow."Suzuka's face instantly fills with despair, and I try my best to hold back my laughter."But you don't have to worry, it is almost dinner time," Dillon says as he points towards their little village which seems to have a lot of people gathering in the centre.Suzuka runs forward and we follow behind her, and when we reach the overpopulated village, we see there is a giant pot in the middle of the village and from that pot a heavenly smell emanates.Beside us, we hear, "It seems the Aisachta up and died, so they are cooking it all tonight.""What? 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

-Break-Location: Abais castleΦ Sitting in one room the five ministers of Nialathrú gather. "Cultúir, how did today go?" Amadán asks."It went far better than I had expected. 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. So those people the human is looking for have legacies, well at least one has.""That causes a minor problem for us, but not one that we won't be able to get past. Still

On the ground, Aois says, "Thank you, I have already made their breakfast, all I need you to do is serve it in their bowls."Walking forward, I opened a compartment that Aois was pointing towards and took out a couple of bowls. There are only a few, so I guess these kids must reuse the bowls.Taking one bowl, I serve food inside it then hand it to one of the kids with a smile, saying, "Here you go."The child gives me a confused look, then she throws the bowl of hot porridge right into my face causing me to roll around on the ground, and then she says, "THAT'S NOT MY BOWL!"Getting up I scream, "It's just a bowl, eat!""No, I don't want to touch Malta bowl, she is yucky!""You're yucky!" Malta says as the two start to fight."Stop being brats and just eat!""NO!" The children scream.Aois says, "Sorry, but the kids refuse to eat from anything other than their own bowls!""But there are not even fifty here, so how could that be?""They tend to misplace them, so only they would know.""

Φ Running forward at full speed, I go up to everyone I can see and ask the same question to each of them. But in response to this, I get either unaware or rude remarks in response."Sorry, I don't know?""I haven't heard of such a thing.""Could you stop being such a pest!""Get out of here.""I don't have time for this.""I have no clue, sorry.""No idea but here's a snack for your trouble."Still running in a circle, I start feeling a little weak and then I end up falling into another beastkin. Getting up while on the ground, I say, "How many times is that now!"Seeing the beastkin, I notice he is something that I haven't seen before. He looks way more like an animal than he does a human, in fact, he looks like a bug."Sorry, I was running like a fool."Looking at me he says, "No, I wasn't watching where I was going please forgive me?"Hearing the sound of a child being considerate is something that seems completely alien to me after the day I have had, so crying uncontrollably, I s

-Break-Slowly Aois walks in front of me, and at the same pace, I follow behind him."Maple, I cannot thank you enough for what you have done.""It really is no big problem, especially with you getting that poison out of my system, and seeing the faces of defeat on those kids' faces was also quite lovely."Aois laughs, then says, "The kids may come off harsh, but that is simply how they were raised."Confused, I say, "You don't seem like the kind of person to raise them that way?""Before they came here, each and every one of those kids were picked off the street, so they learned to look out for themselves above others.""I see, that's why they didn't seem to care about all the stuff they were breaking.""Yes, it is one of their many bad habits that I am slowly trying to change. But sometimes I wonder if I ever can, the last time I raised an orphan it was Dumnorix and despite his achievements, he has some attitude issues.""Some?"Aois laughs again, and says, "Some might be too generou

-Break-30 years ago Location: City of Ceathairéad MiongháireIn a city that is only rubble in the present day countlessly people run around trying to simply get on with their days, but they all struggle immensely because there is barely any space to move.The people in the area are as abundant as air, and even though the city is quite large it is still barely able to handle the mind-bulging amount of people who run through its streets.And in those streets lies a group of kids who are beating on another group.Taking a punch to my face I fall to the ground and as I do the beetle brothers shout, "ABBÁN!"As they hover over me, the group of boys a few years older than me say, "That's what you pests get for making me spill my food over myself."Proteus says, "We apologized!"One of the other boys says, "Do you think that's good enough."Another says, "You shouldn't even be in this city."Malachy says, "This city is a shared area!"The boy who hit me stomps his foot against the ground a

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

-Break-Location: Culainn's BlacksmithsΦ As we walk through the streets the people of Gorias yell my praises."Setanta the destroyer of the Laochs.""Setanta the future kings!""The protector of all who live within the empire.""Cú Culainn!""The silver wolf of the victory.""Our future hero king.""The one who shall conquer the east."As they speak and celebrate whilst a walk with Aurelius who holds Culainn on his back, I say, "THIS IS WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR!"Culainn says, "We get beaten up, and you grow more famous, life truly isn't fair."Aurelius says, "But we're lucky to be alive at least.""You are lucky to be alive. So now I want to go stay with my hot wife.""Well, I haven't been able to meet with my hot wife yet, so we all stay single together!""Don't lump me in with the both of you."Aurelius and Culainn say, "Minagrain," and instantly all the energy in my legs fades and I fall to the ground."Low blow.""Someone needs to take down your ego every now and then."Reaching h

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.

The beastkin rushes at Setanta from all sides, and he fights and fights and fights.Red Branch battle arts; Starflower, Clover, Tulip, Sky flower, Sonic thrust, Camellia Japonica, Passiflora, Morning Glory.Again and again, he uses the forms of his style to strike down the foes who come for his neck, using whatever weapons he can, even his own flesh.His weapons and flesh break down from this constant battle, but Setanta doesn't stop until he starts to push them back.Scared by this Dáire rookies rush back in to help him and his men, and the fight rages on even more.They come towards Setanta again, and again ripping his flesh out which causes Setanta to scream in pain again and again. But never falls.To all those who see this sight fear and awe is put in their hearts as they await for him to crumble down and simply give up, but again and again he rises to strike down more and more beastkin until, the very foes he is fighting start to feel more strain then he does.The rookies, the e

Setanta lands and the moment he does, he moves to the crowd and grabs a knife from one of the members of the mob who are all holding miscellaneous weapons. 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

"But before that, I will thank the brave warrior who put his life at risk to warn of this traitor's location."Both me and Aurelius look confused, but then the beastkin holding down Daragh let him go and he comes over to Dáire.Aurelius seeing this says, "Daragh, what's going on?""The tunnel we passed through on our way here releases orange dust when one makes lots of noise within it, and as our horses went through it the orange dust was released everywhere showing our pursuers that we had gone off the main path and had taken a shortcut. 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

Location: Outer edge of the Village of Lann BhuanΦ Grooming the hair of the horses by the riverside, I say, "Sorry for Setanta's nonsense, we are lucky he managed to catch you from the air when we fell off that Clift. 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. Horses are animals which are

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
