Legacies of light Arc 10.72: A signal of destruction part 9
My mother removing his shoes asks, "How was your day?""Horrid, why do I have to work for my brother!"My mother says, "I know it's unfair, but even after your father unfairly gave everything to your brother, he still chose to keep you by his side."He starts at my mother and says, "Why did you phrase it as if he is doing me a favour."My mom looks down and says, "I didn't mean it like that, I am just sure that's how he views it."Running up towards my mother's side, I say, "They look down on you Dad, but you're the only reason everything here is capable of working. I know it must suck not getting the right reward for all your effort, but you're still the best."My dad puts his hand on my head and rubs it saying, "Of course you would understand, unlike the rest of the idiot here, you're my blood.""Hehe," I say gripping on my mother's skirt.Breaking my hand from my mother, he pulls me to the table in the centre of the room and says, "My son needs to eat if he wants to grow up strong.

-Break-Those days continued, and as I expected father's abuse got worse with each passing day. He hurt them more and more while leaving visible scar after visible scar, and eventually, they reached a point where neither could leave the house.Minagrain spent every day crying and trying to force herself to speak but it was all to no avail. It just broke her heart more and more, so I hugged her and made her let it all out in my arms.It was horrible that she had to stay in that house all day, never letting anyone else see her. But for me, I was liberated, because now I could move around unfettered with anyone reporting my actions.With this new freedom, came an idea, one that would allow me to end all of this once and for all.Holding a dead fish in my arms, I walk in front of my Hewt's house and say, "Here you go."Expecting it he says, "This is a high-quality salmon, it is good to have you around Ferdiad.""Enough of that, just hand me my rewards."In my hands, I am handed some Red b

With tears streaming down his face he continues to hit me whilst saying, "Why, why, why, why, why did you try and kill me son? I loved you, I have always been here for you why!?"Spitting out some teeth, I smile and say, "Two strangers I met today showed me more compassion than you could ever even muster. You're a failure of a man, you're a failure of a father, and I hate you with all my heart scum."Cambell hits me directly in the face again, then gets up and faces my mother who is holding my sister in her arms, and as they cower my father says, "It is your fault witch, you turned my son against me, a stupid whore like you and your insignificant daughter planned this against me."Cambell throws at punch at my mother, and I get in the way defending the both of them.

With a tight grip on my spear, I say, "Red branch battle arts; Star flower."Then I dash forward knocking as many of the enemy soldiers away as possible. I move from place to place striking down as many of them as I can and as I do this, I shout, "I won't let any of you die.""You need to leave Ferdiad!""No way, unless all of you come with me. You guys are my family, and none of you shall die here!"I continue to move faster and faster knocking back their enemies, but due to their armour, I cannot strike a killing blow on any of them.Yet he manages to push many of them back, and he says, "I will slay all of you.""You're far too arrogant for your skill level, and I will show you that now."One of the armoured beastkin gets in a stance that is all too familiar to me.

Legacies of light Part 1: Fimbulwinter
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
Legacies of light Arc 1.01: Lux Arc
It’s morning, I think to myself as I wake up, or evening, or night, in all honesty, I have no idea which it is, but no time for that. It’s a new day for me, time to explore. So I put on the clothes I have claimed as my own, say good morning to my darling and set out first; I check the kid’s door.The snow has yet to return to the child’s door, so I open it and see that it’s very much a kid’s room. On the bed in the room, I go up close and see the kid sleeping. After getting a good look at the kid, I concluded it couldn’t be any older than five or six years. Its hair is also white again.I should also check its gender; however, I don’t want to strip a kid. Hence, I decide to leave before the kid wakes up and gets an even worse opinion of me. Closing the door of the kid’s room, I go look around.On the second floor, I found a lot of empty rooms with nothing in them though they all look well-kept. I found a study and what I believe is a walk-in closet with many females and a few male gar
Legacies of light Arc 1.02
Ten months later“Do we only exist to suffer,” this is the only thought that goes through my head as I get up from the floor. I can’t keep doing this. It’s been almost two thousand combinations I am about to go insane!But the worst part is that these fruits are super nutritious. It’s making me healthier. My sense of taste is sharper than it ever was, so I can feel that disgusting aftertaste even more. The only way solace I have, is the shower I take at times to relieve stress, but the water has no temperature, so it’s just pressure.Though I have been making some progress on one front, the kid has been staring at me from a closer and closer distance. It’s at the point where the kid can stay in the same room as me, as long as I pretend not to see it.Still, if I try to start a conversation, it no longer screams but runs away fast, which has stopped any progress beyond this point. It’s almost been a year, and this is all I have to show for it.Still, with how much healthier I have been

Arc 10.71: A signal of destruction part 8
I run as fast as I can moving through the forest with great haste. This is too big, I think I might understand why Lugh saw it fit to bring so many allies with us to this battlefield.Humans who can comfortably move through an area filled with wonderbeasts are insane. Even if they cleared out this entire area beforehand, it is still an amazing feat.Not even us beastkin can overcome something like this without ridiculous amounts of planning. But what is most worrisome is that there were no human corpses anywhere around, so they didn't overcome this place by throwing massive amounts of soldiers into it, they have people with skill enough to do this themselves.As I enter the proximity of our campsite, I start to hear a scream, and say, "Oh no."Moving through the forest, I see that our camp is being assaulted by humans. Few are on their feet, and many of them are on their horses.The area around here is protected by trees but isn't dense with it allowing one to fight on horseback, and

Picking up a piece of wood, I hold it to my nose and sniff it."This smells of food."A soldier of the Faoláin house Liam says, "That little piece of wood."Another Faoláin soldier named Cian says, "Was it part of a box.""You're right. It was probably part of the fleeing humans' supplies, I want everyone to search the area for more, if we can find something with a strong scent we might be able to actually find the humans."Turing my head to Téad, I say, "I need the Lúcogadh to go ahead and see if Ronald has made contact with the humans."One of them says, "We don't take orders from you."But Téad puts his hand up and says, "We will be back in no time."As they leave, I sigh and then say, "Now let's get to work."The beastkin spread out and eventually, one of them says, "Ferdiad over here!"As I arrive besid

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
