With Cambell over my body, I feel pain in my face repeatedly. 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. Then looking him in the face, I say, "You won't be laying a hand on these two ever again Cambell, remember that you fool."

    Location: BasecampΦ As I stare down at Setanta's face, I say, "Please wake up."Suddenly he opens his eyes and says, "Laeg you scandalous harlot, I never thought you would try to steal a kiss as I sleep, well then here you go."He kisses me on the forehead, and says, "That should satiate your desires you beast."I prepare to hit him, but then relax and hug him saying, "I am so happy you're ok!"Rubbing the back of my head, he says, "Not even the god of the humans could rip me off this planet so young, never worry about such things.""But how did you even wake up, I was told you would be out for at least two days with your wounds."Setanta jumps all around and says, "I feel amazing so it seems you were off."Grabbing him, I say, "Don't move around your wounds could reope-.Wait they are all gone!"Examining his body, I say, "All of your wounds have healed with no scars.""You guys must have fed me well whilst I was sleeping.""We did, but isn't this a ridiculous amount of healing in su

    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. Shocked, I say, "Red branch battle arts!""Clover."The beastkin then lunges forward and is about to hit me with clover, but as his spear comes towards me, Cruadhlaoich gets in the way, and the beastkin sword goes straig

    "He saved you?""Quite, when he found out about my sister's condition he decided to take the both of us in. Apparently, that man had been gathering those born with a similar condition and had been sending them off to one of his faraway colonies to live."Smiling Craig said, "But guess what when he told me this, he just said I shipped your sister off to a plantation, where she will work and live till she dies.Can you believe that! It made me think she was a slave, and when I later found out the truth, he said; what did you think I mean? Can you believe that asshole?"Saoirse says, "It's better than him telling you that your brother is being squished to death when in actuality he means your brother just got married and his wife can't stop hugging him." A few others come towards us and say, "Once he told me that the food he was eating was so good it would destroy you, so I took a bite and it turns out it was poison. Then he looked at me as if I was strange for eating it!""He once told

The enemies I fought seemed hesitant to kill me because I was a child, if they caught Ibar I am sure they would restrain him.""Regardless of that, those foes you fought were exceptionally strong, even if all of us here teamed up against them, winning would still be an uphill battle.""I know but we can't just leave him.""Yes, we can.

    Turning to the humans, I say, "Please you need to calm down the situation is too dangerous."But in response to this, they look at me with fright and move away. Then one of them screams, "Monster!"Ferdiad noticing this situation says, "Do you see this humans your famous black warriors are all beastkin! That's the reason they have let so many of you die today because they are simply trying to use your bodies as shields so they can escape and be heroes.They ask for your trust just so they can stab you in the back for their own benefit, these soldiers betrayed all of Louernia due to their own greed, and now they plan to do the same to you.""IT ISN'T TRUE!" I shout in response to the accusations, but my voice is completely destroyed by the sound of the panicked humans who now have lost all those they can trust.Throughout the battlefield I see the humans are now running erratically, attacking everyone, or just crawling into balls on the ground. All of this behaviour makes it far harder

    Setanta immediately throws his spear directly at Aoife which causes her to back away, and then moments later he arrives their saying, "Did you miss me?"Smiling I say, "No, I felt peaceful for the first time in a while."Setanta kicking me in the gut says, "No time for that, peace is for the dead the living must struggle on."Φ Turning to face the traitorous beastkin, I say, "Now have you bastards said your last goodbyes."The woman who was just fighting Ferdiad says, "Son of Lugh, now that you're here I hope that you will listen to me and get all of your little friends here to surrender.""Not a chance, unlike you traitors scum we don't want to spit on our people's graves."Sighing, she says, "Why do you struggle to understand the fact that humans are worth protecting."I giggle a bit and say, "Because humans are cowards who merely run and hide from the world.

She also has heavy eye bags showing a lack of sleep, so I ask, "Laeg are you alright."Not even stopping to look at me, she says, "Ibar right now we need to get everyone out of here because if for a moment I start worrying about your wellbeing I won't be able to focus."Getting back to work, I say, "Then let's get through it quickly."Φ As we work I take glimpses at Ibar's body, and every time I notice a bruise or injury I can feel my heart almost stop.

    I remember all of the decorum I have been taught and then focus thoroughly.When speaking to one who you respect you bow your bow, and whilst allowing all of your animal parts to stick upwards. This lowers the part of you that is human while also showing how the animal parts of you are greater.While you bow stick one leg in front of the other, and while you do this make sure your balance is impeccable, a single movement shows that aren't properly making use of the power bestowed onto you by Danu, and lack the control of one's body that separates us from humans.Then you say your name, and what family you come from. "My name is Raereg Ni Fergal, I serve the house of Faoláin but I am originally from a village in Gorias called Gaoth."If your greeting has been received well, the other beastkin will tap your foot, and then you stick out your hand for the other one to return you to a normal standing position.He pulls me up and says, "Nice to meet you."This last bit changes depending on

    Φ Following the beastkin's victory, they quickly took all of the humans captive and started to transport all of their possessions along with the bodies of fallen beastkin soldiers out.All of the human soldiers were killed for spilling the blood of members of the Tuatha Dé Dannan, and the civilians were to be executed by Lugh.However, due to the undisclosed situation, 35,000 of the humans had been spared. The remaining humans had all been killed mercifully with a single strike, except for around 7000 who were all brutally tortured to death by Ronald Fuinseog.Both Ronald and Lugh received harsh punishments that where ugly stains on the names of the young Ronald who had accomplished countless military victories, and Lugh the perfect young king who seemingly had no flaws.But at the very least, in the eyes of the Tuatha Dé Dannan the name of house Fuinseog didn't decrease much as Setanta's accomplishments were spread far and wide as well, along with a rumour that he is to be the next h

    Φ As all of the humans open their eyes including myself, I sigh and say, "What did I even expect of those humans." On the left side is an overwhelming amount of people, so many that it makes me feel quite sick at the sight of it.Hanging off my tree, I say, "Words aren't enough to move the human heart it seems."Φ In front of me lies about 20 people from the 75000 of us. About 12 of them hold the holy cross, but it is not even a hundredth of the total congregation among all of us, the rest lie on the other side.But what truly breaks my heart is that of the 20 people, it includes a family with children who followed my words to the right side.I feel sick like I am about to throw up. All these people across from me choose their own safety even though we all could escape, they choose to spit on all of the sacrifices made today, and at the end of it all not even half of them will be allowed to go with the beastkin.I want to scream at them, I want to kill them, I want to fall to my knee

    The man who says these words has one of their holy amulets right next to his next, he is a follower of the church of the messiah.Walking forward he says, "I will do no such thing."Ronald dashes forward and grabs the man by his collar then he says, "So you that's what you choose, fine by me. I think a living example will get my point across."Ronald truly is far more cruel when handling humans. Well what do I expect from a man who enjoys a hunt, making sure you get to play with your prey is a must.While still in Ronald's arms, he says, "Please don't do this.""Too late to beg for your life now.""I am not begging for mine but for yours."Surprised by these words, Ronald says, "What?""Right now you members of the empire of Louernia are riding a path straight to hell. If you all continue your indiscriminate slaughter and suppression of others it will one day lead to your doom."Pulling him closer Ronald says, "Those are very charged words, you talk as if you know more about our empir

    Φ Seeing Setanta as he lets out a roar of victory, I am utterly stunned. That last strike of his was beautiful, it was far beyond anything I could have ever imagined myself doing.Turning around Setanta faces me and as he does I see a giant chasm appear in between us, something so large and wide that I feel like I couldn't ever reach the other side even if I had wings to fly with.Setanta then quickly moves across the battlefield, and one after another he kills the enemies in who almost destroyed us with a single blow to their necks each.His speed, power, and dexterity have risen to new heights, that even surpass the wall of strength was Aoife. Not only this but he also has the traits of a behemoth wonderbeast in his blood, Setanta is truly a miracle to our people.Not someone I can ever reach.Φ Lunging forward to Ferdiad, I say, "You need a hand princess."Getting up on his own, Ferdiad says, "Don't get cocky you dumb doggy, just so you know I am the strongest."Ferdiad's leg buckl
