-Break-Φ As the Lúcogadh's cavalry race through the mountain range, Téad remembers a conversation from the night before.To my men, I say, "And that will be the path we will take to reach the outside, any problems?"None of my men raise any disputes but then I hear, "Please go rest Ferdiad."Moving my head, I see Ferdiad fighting against my men trying to reach me, so I head over to him and say, "What are you doing moving about?"Grabbing me, Ferdiad says, "I have a favour to ask.""What?""Please let us return for Ibar.""No that is stupid, at this point, he is all but assured to be dead.""I don't think he would be. 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. This is war when one man is down we

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. They once ruled the world, no even more than that they have all but tamed it, but their behaviour which is far more brutish t

Φ As Ferdiad and Setanta fight, I slowly start to get the horses that were blown away by Aoife's attack back up and as I do my sister comes up and says, "We need to hurry up and get out of here this instant."Looking at her I see she looks worn out as if she has been doing a physically strenuous activity. 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. Don't focus on it, because if you do you won't be able to keep going.Setanta, Ferdiad please finish up and return quickly.Φ Behind me, I hear Ferdiad use sonic thrust right into a giant boulder, and turning I start to deflect the pi

I try to move but as I do the dagger within my body causes an extreme surge of pain to flow within my body, so I just shout, "MOVE!"The sword continues towards Laeg, but then Craig gets in the way and the sword hits him right in the throat.Seeing this I manage to rip the dagger out and head towards my sister. As I hold her, I look at Craig and ask, "Why did you do that?""I simply pity you. You're young and you don't understand what you're doing, so I simply wish to reduce the strife you would feel when you finally understand the meaning of your and others' lives, like your sister has."His face soon goes lifeless, and other enemies, ignoring his sacrifice head straight towards us with the intent to kill us."Laeg we got to move."My sister tries to move but as she does the panic she is facing intensifies and we are in the same position. Then she mutters, "They were alive, they had blood, a pulse, and families."Seeing as she can't bring herself to move I get up, and with the wound

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

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 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

"Do you know what you are doing?""Getting rid of some annoying little pests who are trying to get in my way."Laeg said, "We happen to be members of the house of Faoláin so an attack against us won't be taken lightly!"In a very dismissive tone, he says, "What does that matter to me? I also happen to be a part of the Laoch family, actually, I am the next head Niall Ó Laoch."Ferdiad then mutters, "You mean the strongest warrior of our generation?" As Ferdiad says this I notice he does seem to be around our age, but maybe one or three years older than I am.Picking his nose, he says, "I guess people started calling me that, but it is not like it means anything when I am surrounded by weaklings."I prepare to say something to him, but then Ferdiad says, "Laeg Ní Fergal I need you to calm down and think about all your actions from now on through carefully?"The boy stops then makes a confused look on his face, and says, "Wait aren't you Laeg Ní Fergal?"Ferdiad turns to me, and I say, "

-Break-The eleventh battle of this campaign was the sixth battle of the Faoláins and was called the Battle of the Shattering Storm.Location: Castle of PionekΦ From the four walls the human soldiers within the castle repel the beastkin with great results.Through the walls, they have placed a slippery substance to inhibit the beastkin climbing abilities, and they have huge metal gates stopping anyone from breaking through.Finally, they rain fire down on all of the beastkin from above, with arrows set on fire. Their attacks are fierce and nonstop which stops even the strongest of beastkin from making any progress.Looking into the distance the human general says, "My brave soldiers we are strong and unbreakable, and that is because right now every man, woman and child is working as one to fight back against our enemies.They have been able to make no progress and soon our allies will come and strike them down! Trust in your allies, and trust in each other, because together we will n

"Your father died doing what he wanted to do most in life, protect you. There is no such thing as an empire that's infallible, and your father knew this. He wanted to strengthen the power of the empire so you would never have to live in the fear or torment of the Fir Bolg.He spent his life trying to make this place just a little bit safer for all of us, he stepped on a hellish battlefield, and even on that battlefield, he never lost his heart and still went out of the way to protect the young. Your father was a true man."Siobhán says, "My father was brave until the end."Touching her shoulder, I say, "He was a man worthy of all the love he has ever been given."She cries and holds Áine, who struggles to keep herself together, and soon some of the maids come, and say, "Please let us help you."They guide the both of them out of the way, and I crouch down with my face pointed towards the ground. Then I say, "Nothing I said was false, but did I truly lead him towards a death that actua

-Break-Location: Gorias Castle; training grounds.Φ Charging forth with their weapons in hand, a group of beastkin charge at Setanta, who is holding a wooden stick.They swing at him with their weapons but Setanta easily dodges the lot of them, and as he does he whacks them in certain parts of their bodies while saying, "Peadar Your footing is off, and Colmán don't telegraph your attacks so much, Manus always keep your eyes on the enemy."He then jumps out of the group and whacks them all on the head, and he says, "You aren't humans, aim to split up into small groups when attacking your enemy so you can make better use of your beast traits, don't just rely on the physical strength increase."Sighing, Setanta says, "New recruits are such a pain to train."Feeling something from behind, Setanta puts up his stick to block a sharp axe, and then turning his head he says, "A chameleon beastkin, using your invisibility eh? I like that!"Setanta hits the chameleon in the leg with his stick,

Conchobar says, "It will be some time till we can all sit and talk like this. Now that we have destroyed the leaders of the human resistance."Lugh says, "Our next few moves will be important. Without a doubt the only people who could have allowed the resistance to work so well would be Aoife and the rest of the traitors, and now that we have annihilated the vast majority of them the humans out to become incredibly disorganized.In that chaos we will use all the might we have to destroy all of their little sects around our empire and put an end to all of this. We will remove the beasts who have been waiting to pounce on our weakness."Medb then says, "Don't forget you still have to find some time to spend with Péatra."Lugh makes an annoyed face and Medb follows it up and says, "You don't like the new wife I chose for you, I thought she was an earnest cutie, very much your type."Lugh says, "She constantly avoids looking at me, and it feels like for some strange reason she seems afrai

I say stepping in between them.Ibar says, "He wants to become a patron."Looking at Luath, I say, "Why do you want to be

"Go ahead my little wolf."Setanta acts nervously as if his mind is undecided about whether he should be having this conversation or not.So Scáthach says, "You're uncharacteristically hesitating. So is this another one of your love ballots, because if so I would really like you to sing it to me again..""I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO FORGET ABOUT THAT!"Giggling, she says, "How could I ever forget something so cute? It is cruel to even ask me too.""You're an evil woman.""I am far more divine than you know?""Whatever you say."Suddenly from the distance, Setanta hears a loud noise, and walks forward to say, "I guess the party for the soldiers has finished."Scáthach walks forward and says, "Considering it has been going on for a week, I think it is fair for it to come to an end."Sitting back on the floor, Setanta says, "It used to be commonplace for week-long celebrations and parties to happen when beastkin won battles, but in our recent history the Red branch has their little parties f

Φ Towering over Setanta, Scáthach says, "Now say it."On his knees, Setanta says, "I am sorry."With his legs crossed and laughing, Fergus says, "Serves you right for what you did!"Scáthach slams a fist made of shadows right into his face, and says while giving him a glare, "You are almost 150 years old, and you're still acting so childish."With great fervour, Fergus says, "A true man never loses his child-like enjoyment of life. I shall live this life of mine to the fullest! My vibrant life will become a legacy that will illuminate the future generations.""How cool Grandpa."With an even more intense glare, Scáthach says, "So you do that by fighting with your grandson in public.""YES!"Scáthach looks directly in his eyes, and says, "When you die, I will make sure to spread as many secrets about you, and send that Legacy into hell."Fergus gets on his hands and knee, and says, "Anything but that master. No one needs to know what you know?"Scáthach turns to me and says, "Blackmail
Arc 10.89: Intersection between the future and the past part 4
Throughout the area loud trumpets play, and then we hear, "His highest and the greatest power in all of the empire. High king Conchobar Ó Danu."Soon after this is said together with a group of armed Fanalis, a man with an average build walks through the most extravagant door in the room, and descends onto us all.He is covered from head to toe, in fine cloth and jewellery. This all gives him a great presence of authority and power, but even with all of this plus his guards, he doesn't grab my attention as much as Scáthach and Lugh did.He might be the high king but I feel like his existence doesn't command the authority of such a title.However, one thing that does is how quickly both Lugh and Scáthach's knees dropped when they saw him. This quickly made everyone else in the room including me follow suit, even Setanta did so without making a single scene.Moving over to Lugh and Scáthach, he reaches out his arm and says, "Now everyone rise."He lifts both Lugh and Scáthach up and eve
