-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
-Break--The next day-Location: City of Ceathairéad MiongháireIn front of me, the boy named Dumnorix stands with his hand out and light radiating from his eyes, and says, "LET'S BE FRIENDS!"Instantly, I turn around and try to run away. And as I do, I say, "No good can come from this."Beside me, I hear, "Why are you running away?"Looking at him shocked, I say, "Because I don't want to talk to you."With an impassive expression, he says, "You know lying is bad?""HOW IS THAT A LIE!""BECAUSE I CAN SENSE YOU WANT TO!""YOU'RE CRAZY!""DO NOT PRETEND LIKE YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK TO A WONDER OF THIS WORLD LIKE MYSELF. BECAUSE I AM THE ONE WHO SOAR'S THROUGH UNKNOWN PATH OF EXISTENCE, THE GREATEST IN ALL OF CREATION!"YOU'RE DELUSIONAL, AND YOU CAN'T EVEN KEEP YOUR INTRODUCTION CONSISTENT!""THE GREATEST IN ALL CREATIONS, IS EVER CHANGING SO, OF COURSE, HIS INTRODUCTION MUST CHANGE!""IF YOU ARE EVER CHANGING THAT MEANS YOU ARE NEVER TRULY THE GREATEST!""I AM EVERCHANGING BUT I AM ALSO
-Break--7 months later-Location: Cróga SoilsitheWith my shield in hand, I clash against my father's sword. Using the blade on my shield I counterattack him after I deflect his blows, and I am successfully able to strike him.Stopping my father says, "You really have gotten better.""Thanks, but it is all due to finding a weapon that suits me.""That is still an achievement. When you first started using that weapon I thought you were crazy, but now it has become so effective that even I struggle to deal with it. And it works better with your legacy ability than a sword does, I really am sure you will become a strong warrior.""I promise I will, and I'll make sure to keep you and everyone protected.""That's good to hear, now let's go get some rest."-The next morning-Hearing a loud voice on the other side, I get up from my bed and take a walk outside. Where I see a group of adult's, including my parents, talking with pure fright and terror in their eyes.As I approach I hear, "You
Closing the door, I say, "No point in thinking about pointless things." I can't control my feelings or thoughts, but I can decide what matters more, and this peace we have and the smile on my little brother's face, will always weigh more, and I will act on those two things.Location: The path to the beastkin VillageΦ Stepping off the beetle brothers back, Iancu says, "This is why I told you guys to behave instead of fight."Proteus says, "We wanted revenge against Suzuka.""AND SHE BEAT YOU TILL YOU WERE BOTH INJURED AGAIN. And now our journey has to be delayed for the 7th time."Turning to Suzuka, I ask, "You couldn't go easy on them."With passion, Suzuka says, "A half-hearted fight is the worst sin of them all!"Iancu says, "Then you carry us all home, you meathead.""I would have you know that I eat balanced meals, so my head isn't just composed of meat!"Iancu has a look of disbelief and says, "You really are an idiot!""You're an idiot!"As the two of them clash, I turn to Mala
