Legacies of light Arc 10.47: Legs of the wolf part 2
As we ride through the forest a chilling feeling goes through my body. It is a place filled with dark trees that look like they have been burnt to ash yet maintain their form and texture.Through those trees, a red Firey energy flows as if a flame that was used to burn this forest simply got captured and ingrained with the trees themselves.No light from the sun can pierce the giant forest we are encased inside, with the only light source being the purple leaves that exist within the trees. It is hard to breathe as if feels like the air in different places moves from pure and clear to utterly putrid.There are fruits growing off each tree. They look dead as if all life has left them, yet they throb over and over again just like hearts. These sounds fill the area and make a rhythm that unnerves me deeply.However what truly scares me is that as I look away and then back at the trees, I swear they are shifting. It makes me feel like I am going crazy and I start to swear, but then Setant

Location: City of GoriasStanding in front of the largest city I have ever seen I look with awe, and say, "Is this place real."Ibar says, "Does this place actually exist?"Ferdiad says, "Of course, it does, Gorias is one of the four major cities in the place of our origin of Tir na n-iontas."Looking at him, I say, "Do you think we will run into the high king here?"Ferdiad says, "You're confusing here for Tara which is in the centre of all four cities. You won't be seeing the high king here, but you might run into one of the four lesser kings here, the king of Gorias."Both me and Ibar completely clammer up.Ferdiad says, "I thought both of you were rude to nobility.""Common nobles are one thing but the king is chosen by Danu herself. So meeting him is far more special than meeting one of the countless talentless nobles.""I guess that is how a couple of country hicks would react hey.""WHO ARE YOU CALLING A HICK!""DON'T FORGET WE JUST SAVED YOUR LIFE.""I know, I know, now let's

-Break-Walking with my compatriots, I say, "Where are we going."Setanta says, "Home.""But this is the capital, shouldn't we be heading towards the outer regions since you're a noble."Smiling, he says, "You will see."I look at Ibar, who with a tired look says, "Get ready sister.""I know."So we all continue on with our horses in tow through the city. Against my idea, we head deeper inside instead of outside, and eventually, we reach the giant castle at the centre of the city.Standing in front of the towering gate, Setanta says, "We are here." Then like an idiot he walks directly toward the tower gates.Grabbing him, I say, "You're not funny."Ibar says, "You can't just walk into the castle of one of the four kings.""I know you like to constantly disrespect people, but if you disrespect one of the four kings that means utter annihilation.""The only way you could actually do worst is if you spit on the high king himself."Setanta says, "I have already spit on the high king himse

Getting off his horse, Ibar waves to all of the maids who were watching him with great vigour. As they wave back full of excitement, I can see the happiness appear on my brother's face.But it soon vanishes as Setanta tackles him and says, "Well done my right leg, you are a splendid foot.""I am not a foot you freak."Setanta puts my brother in a headlock and says, "You are officially my servant and I refuse to allow you to disrespect me in my home."Fighting back Ibar says, "If you don't want me to disrespect you be someone worth respecting!"As the two of them fight Téad marches over and says, "You cheated.""What?" My brother says with a dismissive tone."There is no way nameless scum like you could have defeated me, that horse was obviously given substances."Ferdiad says, "Crunniuc is a horse owned by house Faoláin, be careful with the accusations."Moving up close to him, I say, "I thought the red branch was supposed to be the bravest in the land, but you're unable to even admit

-The next day-As the sunlight shines in my room, I gracefully stretch and as I do I sit up look around my room, and then say, "What a fine morning it is."Like a fairy I dance and hum to myself to the closest window, and say, "How beautiful it is in these lands. But it shall become far more enchanting when I grace it with my presence."Changing my voice to that of a little child, I say, "But wonderful, majestic, queen Laeg Ní Fergal, why is that?"Returning to my normal voice, I say, "Oh little child, it is simply. Because anything thing a sky-splitting beauty touches instantly changes in value, something worth one wonderbeast suddenly becomes worth a hundred."In a childlike voice, I say, "Of course that must be through, you are the greatest fir bolg in existence. You at the tender age of fourteen have already become a valuable asset to the king of Gorias, truly a legend in the making."Changing my demeanour I move to the left of the room, and then I start to gallop as if I am on a

-Break-Walking through the corridors of the castle, I see that there are many people who are up and about despite how early it is. So I ask, "Why is everyone running around so early."Lúidín says, "Isn't this just normal behaviour for people, didn't you're family do much the same.""Growing up sure, but that's because if we didn't work we wouldn't have been able to grow our village. You guys are already at the top of the empire so what is the point of waking up so early."Innéacs says, "Gorias is majestic, but keeping it running is not an easy task. So waking up at this time to make everything run smoothly is simply a baseline we must keep otherwise this place would fall apart."Looking towards everyone working, I say, "I thought you guys had it easier, but I guess there is much more responsibility on your shoulders than I thought."Innéacs mutters, "You can think?"Annoyed, I say, "I heard that!"Ignoring her, I continue to walk and as I do I notice the servants around the castle are

1 hour later"The four providences each have which are chosen by the current family in charge of the providence. Right now they are, Murias holds up scientific development above all, for Findias it is military power, for Falias it is agricultural development, and for Gorias it is labour development.These are the reasons for a lot of the differences between the four providences, a great example of this would be your education. It is a standard that all people between the ages of three to eleven must be in full-time education, and we subsidise the family for the lost labour and other expenses."Shocked, I say, "So the kids in other providences, don't have to go to school? How do they even learn anything.""Most learn from their parents, but as you can probably guess this leads to very broad distances between the average mental abilities of people throughout the empire."My brother says, "Does it really matter though, not many things we learnt in school are going to help us better cut o

Φ Gripping my hammer tight, I say, "Come at me with all you have got!"Suddenly Setanta vanishes from my sight and then moments later I feel a blow to the left side of my stomach. So I swing my weapon towards that space, but Setanta is nowhere to be found.Then yet again I am struck on my right side before I can even sense his presence. This also causes me to turn in that direction, but as I do I feel the wind blow past my body at high speed and every time it does I feel a blow.Φ "With the way he is moving, Cruadhlaoich can't even see him much less block, this is completely ridiculous!"Laeg looks at me and Ferdiad says, "How is Setanta moving so fast, I don't even think I can move that fast on my horse!?"Ferdiad with a smile says, "He is using a special form of fighting taught to those who train under our master, Red branch battle arts. A style of fighting that emphasises intense speed and finishing the battle in quick blows.You put all of your speed into a short lunge, and altern

-Break-Φ In all of Gorias providence, there isn't a single native or visitor who isn't current in one place.Throughout the city, Druids have gathered together. Many of them wear the crest of the Faoláins, but far more are wearing the crests of each house of the Red branch, including the royal house itself.And under the instruction of Fráech and Findabair, they all say, "Beast blood battle arts; Fás."Which is quickly followed by, "Beast blood battle arts; Bog."Soon a series of giant plants set throughout Gorias grow and, the most important of them which are located near Gorias castle move into shape where they form three large platforms made of plants which are placed on top of each other from biggest to smallest.The bottom and biggest of these three platforms takes up a large portion of the castle of Gorias city, with the other two being smaller, but also extremely large as well.The druid using Bog continues to move and mould the platforms until a staircase is made leading from

In his hands is a basket, but I soon skip over it as seeing Lugh all dressed up does many things to both my mind and my body,His beautiful face is both mature and effeminate, but the aura of his body and his wounds give the impression of a hardened warrior. His muscles which show in his clothes, enrapture my eyes and never let them go.The heavenly smell of his silver hair crushes my nose, and his heavy voice which ties it all together slays my ears. Right now, he is more seductive than any man of the night, and should be locked up for indecency.Covering my eyes, I scream, "THANK YOU!"Aimee then gets up to Lugh's face, and says, "My king, it isn't good for you to see her right now. You should wait until the ceremony so you can be surprized by her looks.""I wouldn't be surprised anyway. Péatra is a beautiful woman, it isn't like she could get prettier if she tried."I let out a gross laugh in response to this, and start to drool. The maids quickly catch my drool as it falls off my

Moving to her, I knock her on the head, and say, "A murder, really?"I turn my head to the boy in the ground and lift him up from the hole.I also see he is tied with rope, so I start to untie him whilst saying, "This is why you don't hang around crazy women like her.""I am not crazy; he is a cheater!"I turn my head to Uathach and say, "I know you're lonely but don't go making up lies about men being in a relationship with you, it is slander."She jumps on my back and starts to bite me, so I say, "Let go of me." While trying to break her grip.However, to my surprise, she is so strong that I can't get her to let go of me. "Spirit energy?""Of course! NOW TAKE MY FURY WOLFIE!"She continues to tighten her body around me choking me out, and as she does this the boy who I was untying gets up and stares at me.Looking at him, I say, "HELP!"But the boy turns and runs away from me, without even acknowledging my situation. So, I just lie there whilst getting choked.In all honesty, gettin

My father moves towards his chair, and standing against it, he says, "For clarity, explain to me again why I should care about those humans?""Because we Tuatha Dé Dannan are not barbarians. You know as well as I do that the growing love, and justification for violence without any benefit is happening everywhere.If everyone's first reaction to anything they don't like is to kill everyone in front of them, it will only negatively impact us as a society going forward. Death has a purpose, and boosting our egos isn't a purpose."My father sighs, then moves towards his chair and grabs a bottle of alcohol, then says, "Hey Setanta, do you know what this is?""Alcohol.""I hate this stuff. It is a substance that makes people stupider, and wilder than they were before. Order is necessary for survive, yet this is something that makes order harder to put in place, not to mention all of the health issues it causes.At one point it became a problem in the providence that couldn't be ignored anym

-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

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
