Legacies of light Arc 10.34: A history of chaos part 3
-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

We all shutter as we stare at him. But turning to me Iancu says, "Maple what the hell is that, we got to go now!"Senán then holds out his palm in front of all of us and opens it, and then in the middle of his palm a light front the sky descends down and we hear, "NOW IT IS TIME FOR THE ARRIVAL OF THE MOST MAGNIFICENT BEING TO EVER EXIST, DUMNORIX THE GREATEST IN ALL CREATION!"As Dumnorix's foolish act plays out, the tension that everyone feels turns to annoyance, yet despite our reaction to him, he doesn't just stop there.Turning to Senán he says, "Thanks for the ride doggy, you made my already magnificent entrance greater than it was before!""DID YOU JUST CALL HIM A DOG!" The beastkin from both sides yell.Senán then drops Dumnorix down on the ground, and says, "I am happy that funny Beastkin like you still exist."Every movement he makes sends wind through the area he is just that big. With his other arms, he opens his palm and then spits something into it.Then he throws that b

-Break-Location: Eastern side of the Gorias castleLooking at all my set-up flowers, I say, "The way the moon hits these makes them look just as beautiful as you."I grip my fist, and say, "YEAH THAT WILL WORK, I WILL KNOCK MINAGRAIN OFF HER FEET!""What a lucky lady!"Turning my head, I say, "Hey human. shut up, my woman is coming over!""Ahh, little kids with their little love."I dash over to where he is and kick his cage down, then I say, "I don't want a slave calling me a little kid.""But aren't you one?""For another year. My birthday was recently, so after I get through my corrupted year of 13, to my reborn year of 14 I will be an adult.""Why do you beastkin have a weird thing about 13, I have always wondered but no one will tell me.""Because almost all of the bad events in our history just so happen to fall on that day. So, it is said that a beastkin will experience the most misfortune of their existence during their thirteenth year."Petting my head, he says, "I hope you

Location: Gorias cityStanding outside the blacksmiths, I walk in and say, "Culainn, I have come to return the chains!"I look around the store and notice no one is inside, and then moments later riding on his little wonderbeast, Culainn comes out and says, "Is that you Setanta?""Yes, it is, and you won't believe what I have to tell you. You see Ferdiad-,""So you got angry and broke the chains by accident.""Let me finish!"Riding his little cuboid-shaped wonderbeast he rams into me, and says, "Don't raise your voice to me!"His blows causes all of the chains I am holding to tumble and fall down on top of me. "That hurt old man!""I hope it did! I explicitly told Ferdiad not the break them!"Looking him straight in the eye, I say, "Well technically Ferdiad didn't break them, I did. So everything is ok right?""Don't try and back out of this you brat."Lowering my head, I say, "I am sorry about this.""You're a good enough man to apologise to me, but a good man also knows that an apo

-Three weeks later-Location: Gorias CastleΦ Looking into a mirror, I look at the bruise on my face and say, "It really is bad isn't it, I swear his fist nearly reconstructed my skull."The maid Innéacs says, "In all honesty, I don't really see a change in the first place.""Really!?" I ask turning my head to face her."Of course, not even a fist could break down that rather bizarre face you have.""LÚIDÍN SHE INSULTED ME AGAIN!""You have grown so much in just over half a year, you can even pick up on my insults.""SHE ADMITTED TO IT!"Lúidín walking up to Innéacs flicks her on the forehead, then says, "That was her trying to cheer you up in her own special way."Looking down, I say, "So it is apparent enough for even that cold bitch to try and cheer me up."Lúidín kneels to my eye level and makes me face her, then she says, "Don't be ashamed for a single moment. You and your brother have gone on to some of the fiercest battlefields and have succeeded.Few men would even have the co

"Do you know what you are doing?""Getting rid of some annoying little pests who are trying to get in my way."Laeg said, "We happen to be members of the house of Faoláin so an attack against us won't be taken lightly!"In a very dismissive tone, he says, "What does that matter to me? I also happen to be a part of the Laoch family, actually, I am the next head Niall Ó Laoch."Ferdiad then mutters, "You mean the strongest warrior of our generation?" As Ferdiad says this I notice he does seem to be around our age, but maybe one or three years older than I am.Picking his nose, he says, "I guess people started calling me that, but it is not like it means anything when I am surrounded by weaklings."I prepare to say something to him, but then Ferdiad says, "Laeg Ní Fergal I need you to calm down and think about all your actions from now on through carefully?"The boy stops then makes a confused look on his face, and says, "Wait aren't you Laeg Ní Fergal?"Ferdiad turns to me, and I say, "

-Break-The eleventh battle of this campaign was the sixth battle of the Faoláins and was called the Battle of the Shattering Storm.Location: Castle of PionekΦ From the four walls the human soldiers within the castle repel the beastkin with great results.Through the walls, they have placed a slippery substance to inhibit the beastkin climbing abilities, and they have huge metal gates stopping anyone from breaking through.Finally, they rain fire down on all of the beastkin from above, with arrows set on fire. Their attacks are fierce and nonstop which stops even the strongest of beastkin from making any progress.Looking into the distance the human general says, "My brave soldiers we are strong and unbreakable, and that is because right now every man, woman and child is working as one to fight back against our enemies.They have been able to make no progress and soon our allies will come and strike them down! Trust in your allies, and trust in each other, because together we will n

"Your father died doing what he wanted to do most in life, protect you. There is no such thing as an empire that's infallible, and your father knew this. He wanted to strengthen the power of the empire so you would never have to live in the fear or torment of the Fir Bolg.He spent his life trying to make this place just a little bit safer for all of us, he stepped on a hellish battlefield, and even on that battlefield, he never lost his heart and still went out of the way to protect the young. Your father was a true man."Siobhán says, "My father was brave until the end."Touching her shoulder, I say, "He was a man worthy of all the love he has ever been given."She cries and holds Áine, who struggles to keep herself together, and soon some of the maids come, and say, "Please let us help you."They guide the both of them out of the way, and I crouch down with my face pointed towards the ground. Then I say, "Nothing I said was false, but did I truly lead him towards a death that actua

-Break-Location: Gorias Castle; training grounds.Φ Charging forth with their weapons in hand, a group of beastkin charge at Setanta, who is holding a wooden stick.They swing at him with their weapons but Setanta easily dodges the lot of them, and as he does he whacks them in certain parts of their bodies while saying, "Peadar Your footing is off, and Colmán don't telegraph your attacks so much, Manus always keep your eyes on the enemy."He then jumps out of the group and whacks them all on the head, and he says, "You aren't humans, aim to split up into small groups when attacking your enemy so you can make better use of your beast traits, don't just rely on the physical strength increase."Sighing, Setanta says, "New recruits are such a pain to train."Feeling something from behind, Setanta puts up his stick to block a sharp axe, and then turning his head he says, "A chameleon beastkin, using your invisibility eh? I like that!"Setanta hits the chameleon in the leg with his stick,

Conchobar says, "It will be some time till we can all sit and talk like this. Now that we have destroyed the leaders of the human resistance."Lugh says, "Our next few moves will be important. Without a doubt the only people who could have allowed the resistance to work so well would be Aoife and the rest of the traitors, and now that we have annihilated the vast majority of them the humans out to become incredibly disorganized.In that chaos we will use all the might we have to destroy all of their little sects around our empire and put an end to all of this. We will remove the beasts who have been waiting to pounce on our weakness."Medb then says, "Don't forget you still have to find some time to spend with Péatra."Lugh makes an annoyed face and Medb follows it up and says, "You don't like the new wife I chose for you, I thought she was an earnest cutie, very much your type."Lugh says, "She constantly avoids looking at me, and it feels like for some strange reason she seems afrai
