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

"But how?""Suzuka, for all we know this whole thing could have been caused by a small group of people. During my stay here I have heard things, and know that a lot of people are not happy about the fact that the last war between the Fanalis and the Tuatha came to an end with the Fanalis still alive."Confused, I look at Orb and say, "There was a war?""Ehh, did you not pick up on that due to all the tension?"Embarrassed, I say, "I was enjoying myself too much."Orb smiles back at me with green hair, then holds in a laugh and says, "It's ok.""Don't laugh at me, I am not dumb. Even if these people are trying to reignite a war, why now?""Isn't it strange that we have almost been here for three full days, and that no one from up above has come from us.""You're right, Maple Legacy would have been able to get a group of people down here.""So maybe a group of us from up above, or Maple herself all came down and ran into the other beastkin. And maybe to try and curry favour with the mem

-A few minutes later-Panicking as I fully digest what Suzuka just told me, I say, "We need to do something now! Or else everyone is going to end up killing each other."Willow asks, "Do you know where the people are located?""I have a name, but I don't really know the layout of this place.""Don't worry, I was able to learn the maps of this place from the druid so I can help you catch them."Full of energy, I say, "I will come as well, my ability to increase your speed, will be helpful."Suddenly, we hear a large group of footsteps, and torches lit. Looking at them in the distance, I say, "It is the people of Prosúnfore and the military."Suzuka says, "They are heading in the direction of Abbán and the Fanalis!"Willow says, "If they rounded up the people to go and fight the Fanalis, that means their clashes will happen, far sooner than expected.""Then I will go stop them."Willow says, "Absolutely not!""I must, with my ability to slow them down, I should be able to stop all fight

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

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

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

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

"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

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
