-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
The woman who Setanta calls master is dressed in a black dress that covers her from halfway through her face to the ground. The black dress is also filled with frills that move horizontally across the dress all through it, they remind me of waves on a beach.Her head is covered in a veil that conceals her face entirely with one thing of note being the silver circlet that holds the veil over her face. Her hair is a beautiful light shade of purple and mimics that of a shark's tail."Wait did you just say Scáthach! As in the woman who trained the beastkin during our earliest years so we could strike back and reclaim Tir na n-iontas, the queen of shadows herself!""Yep, she is mine and Ferdiad's master."Jumping off all of the bodies he sits on top of, Setanta says, "And if my wife number zero. Now give your husband to be a kiss."Φ All my senses heighten as I feel a murderous aura emanating from my right, so I turn my face and say, "Ferdiad, did you arrive with master?""Yes, she brought
-Break-Location: Lugh roomΦ In a room with a single candle light, lies Lugh who is reading a book to himself. As he stares into this book he breaks off one of his nails and then flings it directly at one of the shadows in the end of the room.Shadows from the room move to intercept the nail, and as they do this Scáthach appears from one of the shadows and looks at Lugh saying, "Attack a woman I thought I had thought you better.""You taught me to strike down anyone who tries to use their power for evil, did you not you peeper."Pulling out a chair from her shadows, Scáthach sits opposite to Lugh and says, "Don't make it out to seem that I looked upon you for some perverse sexual gratifications. I just thought that seeing a scared smile on your face would be fun.""Play such pranks on your current students." "The only student of mine who still gets spooked is Ferdiad, Setanta just smiles whenever he sees me. How unfun.""You should cease your foolish games, you're not youthful enoug
On the third of the fourth month of the 132nd year of athbhreith beithíoch calendar, the battle of the shadow serpent began.At 900 hours, Ronald Fuinseog's advance team left to head through the forest guarding the human settlement. They made sure to stealthy past through their surveillance, and made an effort to not spring any traps.No more than three hundred men could have been brought by Ronald as any larger would have been suspicious and ruined the impression that they were on a scouting mission.At 1100 hours, they reached the other side and proceeded to move forward.At 1200 hours, they are spotted by choice and proceed to start running away.By 1330 hours, they are forced into their first confrontation. Ronald's advance force consists of around three hundred men, versus around three thousand humans.Location: Eastern BattlefrontΦ To the east of Ronald's positions is a slightly mountainous area that guards a river further east river, which is where they are pretending to flee.
Three hours earlier Φ At 700 hours a team of beastkin moves into the forest and stealthily assassinates many of the humans who lie there, and as they do the Lúcogadh army moves through the forest on a predetermined path.By 1100 hours, they have all escaped the forest, and with one hundred calvary twenty chariots, and around five thousand infantry. This group quickly moves from where they are and makes haste towards the humans' castle at the most northwestern point of the land.By 1120 hours, they have alerted the humans of their presence and they are some small human forces come and try to block them. But due to them all being composed of infantry, the Chariots are sent to deal with them.The general of the army, Ruán Ó Lúcogadh, shouts, "Now dispatch ten chariots to quickly deal with them."Ten chariots are dispatched, which include two heavy chariots one ridden by Setanta and his allies.Φ Feeling nervous, I hear Setanta say, "Since we are one of the heaviest with the most mass, w
Location: Eastern battlefieldΦ Held down by shadows the humans struggle to break free of Scáthach powers. They want to escape as quickly as possible and return to the battlefield to aid their loved ones, yet they can't move an inch.This causes many to fall into despair, freak out in anger, or cry while screaming for their freedom. But Scáthach is nowhere to be found until she appears from the mountain range with numerous plates carrying food.Many of the humans look at her with confusion, but she just says, "Dinner is ready," in a cheery voice.Using her shadows she releases all of their body parts with the exception of their legs, then places all of the massive amount of food she has on one shadow table.The humans are very confused by this, and some try to use their newfound freedom to run away, but they don't move an inch from where they are."My shadows will only allow you to walk towards me or around this table, they won't allow you to run away like you are planning."A human s
The Slab bull breaks through all of the infantry in his path, allies or enemies it doesn't care and just bursts through to the horror of all those around it.Many run away and try to escape but they are trampled under the size of this 11-meter beast that simply moves through it.Ferdiad looking at me, says, "We need to run now!"But I say, "We can't do that, we need to take it down. Ibar, Laeg move in the area around it."They follow my instructions, but Laeg says, "We have no knowledge on that wonderbeast, I don't think this is safe Setanta.""I agree, the Lúcogadh have beast-catching nets which we can use to make a better strategy to overcome this wonderbeast.""No, if we do that this achievement will be given to them, and the rights to the wonderbeast would be given to the Lúcogadh. But if we manage to take it down earlier not only will we gain all of the achievements for ourselves but be the heroes of this battle."Looking into the eyes of Ferdiad, I say, "This will be our biggest
Year 1All I feel are sharp pains throughout my body. How long has it been since I started walking? It could only have been just over a day, or I would be dead. I haven't taken time to rest because I feel I would collapse and fall over if I did.My feet are numb, my arms are shaking, and I can barely see anything. My ears are about to fall off, and all the liquid in my body is about to freeze.I feel as though my consciousness could fade at any moment. All I know for sure is the weight of my bag on my back and that I'm walking upwards.Thoughts run through my mind, like how can snow so white clear and beautiful destroy my senses as it is now? I spent years finding the materials to construct clothes resistant to this cold, so that I could climb this mountain at the end of my life, but it barely is doing anything for me.I laugh a little at the hopelessness of my situation, but then my throat feels a sharp pain. I can’t even slightly open my mouth in this cold; the moment the cold air c
