-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

Φ No waiting for us to recover the animal people dash at me with the same speed they came at Orb with. Seeing them move so fast I know I can never dodge such an attack so I take and am sent backwards."You rather sturdy aren't you, but regardless it won't let you survive against us."Like insects, they zoom around me, and strike me again and again slowly but surely chipping away at me. So in response to this, I activate my legacy and quickly swing my sword around in a circle, while darkness extends from my blade, increasing my reach.This cuts quite a few of them, but many others dodge the attack. And then they run towards me at full speed and continue towards us and strike with speed and precision.They are all incredibly fast, so much so that my eyes can barely keep track of them. Still, I don't understand how a human body can move so fast, there must be some try it.Suddenly one of them from behind me says, "Red branch battle arts; Passiflora," And comes at me with the same incredi

"I am Maple Rian and I am one of the leaders of the humans, as of three days ago, we have made our way here into this country."The people stop and start to talk amongst themselves as they understand what is going on. Following this up, I say, "We humans have not frozen over and the outside world, hasn't been destroyed, and we plan to establish contact with you all, but before that, I have to tell you all something."With all of my heart, I shout, "PEOPLE ARE SCARY!" This is so loud that it makes everyone on the battlefield shutter."What are they thinking? Why do they act in certain ways? Why do they lie? Why do they hurt people? Why do they do things differently from one another? Why do they choose death over life? Why are some better at certain things than others? Why do some want others to be a certain way?Why do they carve attention from others? Why do they trick themselves? Why do they rely on one another? Why do they form groups? Why do they create rules they break? Why do the

Φ I am scared, completely terrified of everything. The world is so much bigger than I thought, and all of the people I care about have been thrust into it, with very little way of backing out.Some have already come back with scares, both mental and physical. And I fret the idea that others will soon have scares like this as well, which could be a lot more deadly than the ones I have already seen.But what terrifies me the most is my lack of ability to do anything about it. Back when me and Orb were hunting predasaurs I was scared but knew deep down I could overcome them if I trained.However, this world we live in is one where even a genius like Orb can be devoured, and I don't think I can survive in such a place. I am frightened that one day all I have, all I love will crumble. So maybe it is better to die right here.Still, I made a promise to always be there for my wife, and to be a living example of Orb's hope for people. So I will take this sensation, take this fear, and move on

-Break-Walking with the flour thief beside me in the hallway, I ignore her cries and hum to myself, but then she cries even louder while pushing the bump on her head into me.So, I start to hum much more cheerfully than before while keeping the same tone, but she continues to push into me, so I put her in a headlock and use my knuckle to aggravate her bump which causes her to say, "OWOWOWOW!"She then bites me in the arm, and I say, "You gluttony."I start to pull her hair, but she locks her legs with mine and continues to chow down on my arm, and our fight continues until we both lose energy, and I say, "You're a beast.""And you're delicious," she says licking her lips."I think I might bring forward that execution.""Try me, I will defeat you before you have the chance.""You think you can beat me?""I think I can eat you."We both get up and press our heads against each other, and I say, "You're both a glutton and a liar.""If everyone believes a lie it becomes the truth.""Nu-uh

Φ As I play, I look down at the people below me and laugh to myself. Look at me and be entranced by my playing you fools. Your eyes, your mind, and even your eyes and hearts are forever transfixed onto my playing.Now you beasts, become enraptured by my every movement. You lot get your kicks by insulting me calling me brash and stupid, but is this brash and stupid? Is my playing not the equivalent of the euphoria of sex dripped into your ears!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!Soon, I finish and when I do I stand up to bow, then I say, "From the house of Faoláins, we all welcome you here to enjoy your time as members of the Red branch, and as the next king of Gorias I will be here to help you with any problems."I get off the stage and look around at all of the people who are tilting their way towards me. I told them to come talk to me if they had an issue, but it seems like they want to try and get me to talk to their kids or remember their names. What a bother.But soon my annoyance

Φ As Dagda laughs in front of me, I say, "So if you would excuse me."With his same cherry smile as always, he says, "Haha, your jokes are as tasteful as your clothes. Now Medb where is my money?""Money? You mean the financial instrument we have assigned value to for the sake of switching things we have made into items we have collected from our environment and from others through labour, intelligence and ingenuity?"With his smile fading a bit, he says, "Hahaha, yes. Now where is it?""Dagda what really is value? Is it something kings assign value to-,""Yes."Putting my finger on his lips, I say, "OR! Is it the exchange of wills from one person to another, so isn't my mere smile payment enough?""Not a chance, now my money."I get thrown off my balance as he rejects me, and then I lean on him and say, "We have known each other for a long time, and you still don't trust me.""I trusted you decades ago when I invested in your research hoping for a return. But every time you make a re
Arc 10.130: The final celebration part 2
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 common Beastkin could beat you, b

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
