Location: StablesWalking out of the changing room I look down at the clothes I am in and jump around. They have given me quite comfortable clothes to change into for the sake of practising."Usually I don't get to wear pants, they really are comfortable." Jumping around with my new range of motion I start to smile brightly.And as I do, my brother says, "Laeg stop embarrassing me."Noticing all of the people watching me, I see my brother's bright red face and moments later I have the same expression, and say, "Sorry."With an annoying grin, Setanta says, "No please continue."I hold myself back from kicking him in the face, and say, "I am done."Setanta then proceeds to laugh, but then Ferdiad hits him directly in the face. "Don't feel like you can't hit him due to his position, if you don't you might lose your sanity.""HEY, DON' T TELL MY LEGS TO ATTACK ME!"As they talk I stare at Ibar and say, "My little baby brother is looking quite handsome today."Hitting me in my side Ibar sa
"I have decided that the four of us will go on a picnic with some of my associates today, so get off your buts and let's get going."I stare at Setanta, and say, "No."My brother says, "We have work to do, and unlike you, we cannot just disappear when we have to train."With a bright smile plastered over his face, he says, "But what does it matter it is not like you two achieve much anyway."His brutally honest words caused both me and my brother to fall to our knees. Our pride is currently shattering into pieces and this direct blow to it has taken our remaining strength."Hey, where are your usual comebacks?"My brother says, "No, more, fighting, spirit."Setanta says, "Of come on don't start acting like humans, show me some fire!" as he grabs and shakes Ibar.Ferdiad moving closer to me crouches down and says, "You guys still need to get used to riding Liath, and Kooacht. So I think this journey to the picnic will allow both of you two get a better feel for them."With all my barri
-Break-Φ Still covered in mucus, I walk with Ferdiad who is carrying a large bucket of water to a little shack behind his giant home, and as we enter inside it, Ferdiad says, "I knew she kept the cloth in here. We have so much room, yet she insists on still using these places."Standing in the shack, I see that this place has clothes and beds inside of it, it also has a section set out to prepare food. As I stare around it, Ferdiad says, "Does this place interest you?""Not really, I was a bit surprised by why there are things here despite looking like a storage area."Walking past me, Ferdiad says, "Because it is our former house. Now come outside where I can get you clean.""What?" I say as I follow him.Reaching outside the room Ferdiad grabs me and places me on the floor and starts to clean the mucus off of me, and as he does I say, "You used to live there?""That is what I said, don't tell me you have some parrot blood in your veins.""No, but it is shocking that you've been abl
Walking into the room, Setanta says, "Someone called for me."Looking at him, I say, "What did you do!"Rubbing the back of his head, he says, "I promised a bunch of rewards to those who make the most food, and then everyone started to get real excited.""What kind of rewards?""Oh, a castle."From the back, Ferdiad hits Setanta and says, "You idiot!""Hey, I was just trying to provide for our picnic."My brother says, "You know what is not relaxing? A GIANT MONEY HUNGREY CROWD."Minabród says, "Ferdiad would you please calm them down?""Yes momm-, I mean mother. Now Ibar come join me."Ferdiad walks away slightly embarrassed, and as he does. Setanta then proceeds, to run towards Minagrain and shout, "You look radiant as always!"With the happiest expression, I have seen her make yet she jumps towards Setanta and gives him a big hug.Setanta then says, "How are you doing wife number one."She then proceeds to make motions which I do not understand the purpose of and Setanta makes some
-Break-Location: Laeg roomAs my maids get me prepared for bed, I take in a deep breath and I say, "I hope Minagrain finds happiness as well."Looking at the faces of Lúidín and Innéacs, I notice they seem shocked for a moment, but then they quickly turn to ones of excitement.Lúidín says, "Isn't she just the most precious thing in the world.""So adorable."Innéacs "And the way she diligently studies to not be an embarrassment to Setanta of his position, just brings me to tears.""How heartwarming."Lúidín says, "Not a single woman in this castle would ever get in the way of her efforts.""I feel the same."Innéacs turns to Lúidín and says, "I knew this girl would come around, this is why I told you all of your childish passive aggressiveness was unfounded."Me and Lúidín looked at Innéacs and then, we says, "IT WAS YOU!""You guys are so strange why worry about who said what, the most important thing right now is to hear about how the picnic was today."Smiling, I say, "I will only
As I walk through the door, I see what I can only describe as an ever-growing lump of flesh. It isn't that much bigger than two meters, yet I instinctively feel a sense of dread that I have never before.Lugh throws me a real spear, and says, "What is my greatest achievement!""The besting of the wonderbeast Vánagandr. Countless fell by its claws and you killed and devoured it.""This beast that lays in front of you is the remainder of its flesh, and half of its brain I kept for experimental purposes, and know I want you to fight it by yourself."Lugh whistles and the flesh form starts to change, it continues to repeat over and over again until this two-meter lump of flesh takes on the form of a wolf, but most of its flesh is still exposed, and in small patches, skin is throughout its body.Its teeth fully regenerate, but only one eye does. It has a tail reminiscent of a crescent moon, and its body seems metallic but also organic. I can tell that whether this thing once looked like, i
Φ "Your head really doesn't work," I say looking at Setanta."Laeg life is an adventure, don't worry about such small stuff.""Death isn't small.""Oh please, this isn't even doing anything to m-," before Setanta can finish he starts to throw up.While this happens I look at my brother who is incredibly jittery, and ask, "What's making you so excited.""Because we are on our way to Emain Macha, the place where many of the red branch go to train their skills. It is known as the gathering place for all those who have or will have power in the future. A perfect place to make connections.""I don't think anyone would want to connect with someone who looks like he is about to drool at the mere sight of this place.""Shut up, I am just excited."Turning to Ferdiad, I ask, "So why are we going here exactly?""Before major battles, it is normal traditional to come here for good luck, since it is the sight of our first victory against the humans. In actuality, this is mine and Setanta's first
-Some time ago-Location: Strategy roomΦ Looking at the model battlefield in front of us, I hear Lugh say, "And that's our current strategy. Our enemies are all humans who have escaped from us in previous battles and have all joined forces in this area, so their destruction is critical. Humans who survive against us go on to inform other humans creating an avalanche of problems."Surprised by what I just heard; I feel excitement.Our enemy is situated in Terrafide surrounded by forest and mountains. They are in a castle, which has its back towards a giant mountain range. This mountainous area is filled with wonderbeasts and completely covers the northern, and western defence of the castle.The eastern part of the area has a river flowing through it, though it is also filled with wonderbeasts and can't be used for sea travel.The only way to enter the castle is from the south, but one would have to pass through a giant forest on their way to the castle, which is most likely set with t
